Little Fubao from the farmhouse takes space to flee famine

Chapter 66
The wind in June is hot and dry, the green in summer is thick and deep, and the grass in the fields is luxuriant and detached, and it is endlessly vast.

In the south of the Yangtze River, you can pick lotus, and the lotus leaves are connected to the fields.

"Sister, you stay here and I will pick them for you."

Wen Zhuo rolled his trousers, first picked a large lotus leaf, and rubbed the small thorns on the handle with weeds back and forth.

That way you won't get stuck.

An Ran held up the lotus leaf, which was like a big umbrella, completely covering her underneath.

The long handle is smooth, and the lotus leaf exudes a unique fragrance.

"Pull me, I can't reach it."

Several boys surrounded the lotus field, picking the lotus flowers on it, either in full bloom or lotus buds.

"Aling, come and take it, there is another pink one here."

Li Aling held up the lotus leaf and took the lotus from everyone's hands.

"That's enough. These lotus flowers will produce lotus seeds in the future."

"Okay, let's just pick this much. By the way, pick a few more leaves. Grandpa said that he will make lotus leaf chicken for us tonight."

"Fubao, let's go home, it's so hot outside, I'm going to get a tan later."

An Ran nodded, holding a lotus leaf bigger than his head, listening to the cicadas chirping on the tree, and walked home on the path.

Little Heizi stuck out his tongue, huffing and puffing, running ahead and over.

"Grandma Hua, we're done picking."

Granny Hua is harvesting wheat in the yard. This is the wheat planted this year, and it has become smaller after the sun has passed.

Grandma Hua's cat heard the commotion, rolled up from the shade of the tree, and looked over at a group of children passing by the house.

"Wen Ming, come here and eat corn. Grandpa Lu cooked the corn."

The old man came out of the simple kitchen, holding golden and steaming corn cobs in his hands.

This corn was a seed given by the Wang family, and it grew big and well, one better than the previous three.

"No, thank you Grandpa Lu, my mother cooked corn for us."

"Hey, Grandpa Lu cooks it for you, just take it, come quickly."

Grandpa Lu took out the corn and broke it into two sections with his hands.

Each child is divided into half, and the corn kernels are very full.

The boys happily gnawed on the corn and blew hot air with their mouths.

An Ran held the corn with her clothes, it was very hot to touch, she held the lotus leaf in one hand, and wrapped the corn with the hem of her clothes in the other.

"Flower Cub~"

As soon as An Ran turned around, Xiao Hua Zai followed behind, yawning widely.

Grandma Hua called it from behind, but it turned a deaf ear and swung its tail leisurely. She wanted to follow them back to get some food.

The other cubs of the little flower cub were given away, and now it is left alone to catch mice at home. From time to time, it can sneak to the next door to see its other two cubs.

"I told you not to go with your brothers. You might get bitten by mosquitoes. Come on, mother, apply some medicine."

This medicine is toilet water produced by An Ran, which can repel mosquitoes and relieve itching, and the effect is very good.

It's refreshing and cool, and has a nice smell.

"Our family didn't boil the corn, so why did we go to spend it at my grandma's house? It's not easy to spend it at my grandma's house. They kept the corn and sold it for two bucks."

"Grandpa Lu wants to give it to us. I told our family to cook it."

Liu Chunlan knew that the two old people liked these children, but her family had too many children.

"Fubao, come here, grandpa will string it up for you with chopsticks."

Father Wang was sitting under the eaves to rest. He took a wooden chopstick from the kitchen and poked it into the corn cob.

An Ran held up the corn cob so that it wouldn't be hot to her hands.

Little Heizi circled around, his big black eyes never leaving the corn in An Ran's hand.

You must know that the other boys have already finished eating, and there are yellow corn tooth germs stuck to the corners of their mouths.

An Ran was sitting on a small bench, clasping corn kernels in her small hands, while Xiao Heizi was waiting to be fed.

There are a few bamboos lying in the yard, emerald green and straight.

Wang Yongping used a knife to chop the bamboo skin and separate the bamboo heart. The sound of breaking the bamboo frightened the two cats lying on the ground.

Wang Yongan polished the bamboo strips, and the bamboo strips came to life in his hands.

Whether it's weaving baskets, weaving bamboo mats, or making bamboo chairs, it's no problem.

"Uncle, I can't cut my hands." An Ran gnawed on the corn and squatted aside to watch.

Wang Yong'an smiled, he used to cut his hands, but now his hands are thickened with calluses, no matter how much he cuts, it doesn't hurt.

"Make a small mat for Fu Niuniu so that it won't be hot."

An Ran clapped her hands, there will be a mat, she slept so hot recently, her buttocks got prickly heat, and she took a lot of powder to get better.

Wang Yongan is not only dexterous but also nimble. He can make a small mat before dinner time.

"Why do you pick the flowers, keep the lotus seeds."

Fang Cuiying picked up a few lotus flowers, the stamens were swaying and exuding a delicate fragrance.

"Find a jar and plug it in, it's so pretty."

Wenbo found a small jar, put the flowers in it, and placed it on the old cabinet.

"Grandpa, why is this one white and these two pink?"

Father Wang smiled: "You boy, the white one is also called white lotus root, and the red one is called red lotus root."

"Then its lotus roots are red and white?"

Father Wang was sitting on a stool, holding a lotus flower and explaining it to his grandchildren.

"The white lotus root has nine holes, and the flowers are white. The pink lotus root has seven holes, and the flowers are pink. When we fry it, we eat the white one. It is crispier and we can make soup. Just eat the pink ones, sticky."

"Oh, grandpa, have you counted their holes?"

The boys are like a hundred thousand whys, with many questions popping out of their mouths.

An Ran entered his farm. Recently, there was a prompt on the panel that there was a special reward, which required unlocking up to a thousand medicinal materials.

She is still short of the last two, as long as she takes good care of her tonight, she will know what this special reward is tomorrow.

I hope you won’t deduct Soso this time, and give you a big reward, just give me gold coins directly.

Recently, a new area has been opened up on the farm, where a small factory can be built to process the grown crops.

There is no need to grind flour by hand anymore, and there is no need to pound rice yourself.

Unknowingly, there are [-] eggs, and the chicken circle has expanded to the point where it cannot be expanded any more.

In a few years, the supplies here will probably be as rich as the rest of the world.

In the kitchen, Liu Chunlan was chopping rabbit meat and dicing peppers.

"Look in this book, is it done like this?"

Several women studied the recipes, which detailed the cooking steps.

"Oh, we've been cooking for so many years, it doesn't matter if you don't know the words, and you can't understand the pictures, just follow suit."

Fang Cuiying picked up the book, looked at it again and again, but forgot it, she was not the kind of material for cooking.

"Let's make it bigger."

There is a small log in the stove, and the fire is burning extremely vigorously.

With a sizzling sound, the oil pan boiled, and the spatula was stirring vigorously in the pan.

"Add some garlic, this chili is fine, it's very spicy, and it will definitely suppress the taste."

Wang Yongye, who was making lotus leaf chicken for the boys, looked at the thick smoke from the kitchen, which choked people's eyes and noses.

"Dad, Mom, they are making rabbits, it smells so good."

"Then the lotus leaf chicken I made will make you hungry, and then I will make some yellow mud."

The spiced chicken is wrapped in layers of lotus leaves, tied with ropes and fixed, and evenly spread a layer of mud on the outside.

"I'll let it go."

Wen Ming held the lotus leaf chicken smeared with mud and placed it in the open-air stove.

This big stove can not only bury lotus leaf chicken, but also roast corn and make charcoal fire.

"Just wait, you can eat it tonight."

Wang Yongye looked at the finished lotus leaf chicken and picked up the extra mud and leaves on the ground.
