Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 221 Turning the Sweet Potato Vine
In the past, maybe she just had a good impression of Xiao Chu and didn't have too much strong feeling, but now it's different, she fell in love with Xiao Chu, and Xiao Chu also loves her, so naturally she doesn't want to separate.

At night, for the first time, she took the initiative to stretch out her arm to hug Xiao Chu's arm. She leaned her head on Xiao Chu's shoulder, which made Xiao Chu tense up, and even her breathing became short of breath.

Xia Qinghe regards Xiao Chu and Zhu Xiaochang as her relatives. When she came to this strange world, if it wasn't for the two of them, she didn't know what would happen to her, and she must have faced more misfortunes.

She has accepted Xiao Chu in her heart, and now they are husband and wife, she feels nothing if they get closer.

Xiao Chu was very nervous, turned sideways and hugged Xia Qinghe directly, Xia Qinghe shrank into Xiao Chu's arms, and the two pressed closer, feeling each other's warmth.

"Do you love me?" Xia Qinghe asked in a low voice.

Xiao Chu lowered his head and just saw Xia Qinghe's forehead from this angle. He gently kissed Xia Qinghe's forehead, held Xia Qinghe's head in his arms, and said softly: "Love, I love you, are you The most important woman in my life is unique, Qinghe, I am afraid that you will be wronged, but you have to trust me, I will do my best to protect you and prevent you from being hurt."

The two hugged each other and talked a lot. The next day, Xia Qinghe got up early. She slept very peacefully last night, and her heart was very at ease. The water in the fern root was clear, and there was only a layer of sediment in the basin She gently scooped off the water on the top, leaving only the powder below. The wooden basin was too big. She and Zhu Xiaochang worked hard to pour all the water and starch in the wooden basin into the bucket. Today's weather is relatively It's gloomy, and she plans to settle it again. If the weather is good tomorrow, she can pour out the clear water that has settled in the wooden barrel, and then dry it.

She thinks the powder content of the fern root is not very high, but it is not bad. Yesterday's two baskets of fern root can probably dry a few catties of powder. She uses this fern root to make fern root vermicelli, so she plans to dry it Then put it away, no rush.

She was waiting for an opportunity. Last year, she suddenly started the starch business. Basically, everyone was unprepared, so that everyone wanted to cash in and sold sweet potatoes and kudzu root to her. But this year is different, everyone knows How to make starch? Naturally, many people will do this this year. By then, the town will probably sell this everywhere. Maybe there will be many in the county too. She wants to seize the opportunity.

Xiao Chu went to catch a few fish and came back. After eating, the three of them went to the field to weed. The youngsters in the village can now wield knives and swords. As long as they go to the village early in the morning, they can see a scene where everyone is practicing kung fu. .

Xia Qinghe thinks this is very good, everyone knows how to protect their home.

After this period of growth, the sweet potato vine has grown to half an arm, and a lot of fibrous roots have grown from the vines. If these fibrous roots penetrate the ground, many sweet potatoes will grow, but Xia Qinghe doesn't need these fibrous roots to grow. The sweet potatoes that come out will affect the sweet potatoes under the main root. It seems that there are too many sweet potatoes, but in fact it will affect the quality. At this time, it is necessary to turn the sweet potato vines to prevent the fibrous roots from growing in the ground.

Xia Qinghe taught Xiao Chu and Zhu Xiaochang to make people know how to do it, and weeds in the field would be ripped off at the same time.

The tender tips of sweet potato vines are especially delicious in this season. Usually, when they are green and yellow, the villagers will also pinch the tender tips of sweet potatoes to eat, but because they don’t know how to cook, they often throw them into the pot and boil them directly. The taste of the food is particularly unpleasant, and it is not delicious. The fluff on the top of the shoots will be very uncomfortable in the mouth, so that many people in the village would rather eat wild vegetables than sweet potato shoots.

Xia Qinghe would pick off the tender ones and put them in the cloth pocket.

The more Zhu Xiaochang looked at it, the more he didn't understand, and he asked with a mutter, "Qinghe, are you going to take it back and eat it?"

Xia Qinghe nodded with a smile in a good mood.

Zhu Xiaochang curled his lips, he had eaten the sweet potato vine tip countless times, and every time he had to eat it, Xia Qinghe actually pinched it like a baby and put it in the cloth pocket, he felt that Xia Qinghe must not know this Tender tips are not tasty.

After hesitating for a while, he still said: "Qinghe is not delicious. My mother used to cook it for us. It was very unpalatable. Generally, I would not eat it unless I had to."

However, Xiao Chu felt that Xia Qinghe knew how to cook delicious food, so he glanced at Xia Qinghe and Zhu Xiaochang confidently and said, "I have a little bit of expectation, I think Qinghe can cook delicious food, don't you know Qinghe's cooking skills?" Know."

Zhu Xiaochang froze for a moment, then shrugged and continued to flip through the sweet potato vines.

When Xia Qinghe heard Zhu Xiaochang talking about cooking, she guessed why people in the village were eating this. She remembered that she used to buy it and eat it. Every summer, there were always many people selling sweet potato tips in the vegetable market. After it was served on the dining table, it became very popular, and everyone liked it very much. It is pure green and pollution-free.

People in this era don't even know what chemical fertilizers and pesticides are. Even farm manure is rarely used. This sweet potato is easier to grow. There are very few people like Xia Qinghe who turn over sweet potato vines, let alone fertilize, so this The sweet potato tender tip is appetizing just by looking at it.

"Don't believe me, I let you down when I cooked. You didn't use the right method for this tender tip. You must not cook it directly. You have smelled pig food and you know what it smells like. This sweet potato tender tip If it is cooked, it will definitely taste that way. It has to be fried. Stir-fry with oil, dry chili, green onion and ginger. The taste is not to mention, the key is to eat nutrition. When I go back at noon, I will cook white rice and eat sweet potato vines. Don’t you Grab it with me."

She said with a smile, it was funny seeing Zhu Xiaochang drooling, she felt that she had also trained Zhu Xiaochang to be a foodie.

Now Xiao Chu likes to eat the food made by Xia Qinghe so much that he couldn't help drooling when Xia Qinghe said this.

"Qinghe, stop talking, the more you talk, the more I can't control myself, I wish I could eat now."

He only ate two eggs in the morning and he was already a little hungry. It's been a busy morning.

Xia Qinghe saw that there were not many people left in the field, and the strength of the crowd was great, and the sweet potato vines should not be turned over quickly. She raised her head and looked at the sky, but there was no sun at all today, and she didn't know what was going on. She stretched her waist Said: "I reckon it's about the same time. I see that there is already smoke in the village. I'll go back to cook and you will come back later."

The days are so peacefully lived, this season happens to be the slack time for farming, and there is nothing to do, but it is leisurely.
