Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 219 The pacesetter of the production team
Today is Saturday, a rare good weather.After eating, Zhang Qian urged Liu Junhao to take off his clothes and change.She has got into the habit of doing a lot of laundry every Sunday.

Liu Junhao originally wanted to join in and help, but was driven away by his wife.He sat in the yard for a while, and suddenly remembered that sweet potatoes were still burning under the stove.As soon as I was busy after eating, I completely forgot about it, and it is probably time to cook it now.

During breakfast, he cut a few sweet potatoes and threw them into the pot, but there was one left uncut. Liu Junhao took advantage of the good fire in the pot and stove, and threw the sweet potatoes into it to roast.

Zhang Qian was worried that the roast would not be cooked enough, and wanted to add a fire to it, but he stopped him in the end.Liu Junhao is a veteran of roasting sweet potatoes, so he naturally knows that the heat is just right. If more firewood is added, it will definitely be burnt, and it will become coke and cannot be eaten at all.

When he got to the pot and stove, he used a branch to stroke the charcoal at will, and sparks burst out of it.A russet, charred sweet potato rolled out.

Take a small stick and beat the sweet potato skin for a while, and the charcoal dust is completely beaten.Although it was still a bit hot, Liu Junhao couldn't wait any longer.Gently break it off, and suddenly a steaming hot water vapor comes out, mixed with an attractive fragrance.The orange sweet potato meat makes people salivate just by looking at it.

"Zhizhi..." Before eating, the monkey smelled it first, and squatted in front of him, staring straight at the sweet potato.

"Do you want to eat?" Liu Junhao saw that it was a little funny, and lowered his hand by about ten centimeters to tease him.

"Squeak..." This guy kept jumping on the ground, stretching out his paws several times.

"If you want to eat, I won't give it to you. Who told me not to give it to me when I picked apples yesterday." Damn, I finally got revenge. Yesterday because of the apple, my wife taunted him a lot.Now that Feng Shui is turning, Liu Junhao is very proud of Wukong looking at him eagerly, with that pitiful expression, and gently bites a sweet sweet potato...

As a result, he immediately jumped up from the chair, whistling continuously.It was too hot, and in order to tease the monkey, I even forgot the common sense that the sweet potato I just opened should be eaten later.

Hot and happy!The taste of roasted sweet potatoes is different from that of boiled sweet potatoes. It is sweeter, crisper and smoother.

"Turn somersault, turn somersault and I'll break it for you" Seeing Wukong circling around him, Liu Junhao became energetic.

This guy seemed to really understand, rolled over flexibly on the ground, and then ran to him again.

Seeing that it was doing well, Liu Junhao broke off half a sweet potato and handed it to the monkey's paw.This guy didn't know how to eat, so he stuffed all the sweet potatoes into his mouth.

Then it was so hot that it jumped up and down in the courtyard, Liu Junhao was very happy to see it.

Zhang Qian pushed him with a smile and said: "You are really like a child, wait until it is cold before giving it to it."

Anyway, this guy is not too stupid, he jumped to the side of the water basin, gulped and gulped a few mouthfuls of cold water before he settled down.

When the piece of sweet potato entered his belly, Wukong surrounded him again. This time, Liu Junhao didn't need to speak, he did two rolls directly.

In the end, he didn't eat much roasted sweet potatoes, and the monkey reimbursed all the rest.

The guy had enough to eat and drink, and then began to fight with Doudou, fighting from the side of the chicken coop to the reed pile.The cat scratched the monkey, and the yard suddenly became chaotic.

He was about to open his mouth to yell, when suddenly both guys ran down screaming.Doudou slipped into Liu Junhao's arms, while the monkey jumped up the tree.

"Did you find something?" Liu Junhao got up and looked at the reed stack twice, and found that there were many scoliids crawling on the reed poles.

He realized that it must have been the two guys fighting on the reed pile just now, which alarmed the Scolia.The weather is warm today, so the scumblebees are a little more active than usual.After a while, seven or eight of them were flying over the reed stacks.

Doudou was afraid that the bumblebee Liu Junhao could understand. When this guy first came to the house, he was not angry at all. He ran around and was stung several times by the bumblebee.Later, it became completely honest, and generally did not hang out on the reed stacks when it had nothing to do.

That monkey...Seeing that Wukong was still jumping on the jujube branch, Liu Junhao knew that it must have been stung.

The monkey deserves it right, let it have a taste, and see if it dares to make a fuss in the yard next time.However, Liu Junhao didn't dare to delay thinking of the poisonousness of the bumblebee, so he hurriedly called Wukong down.

"Si..." Seeing the monkey's swollen arm, both of them were startled. It was stung by several bumblebees just now, and after a while, the arm swelled up a lot.

"Do you want to take it to the street for the veterinarian to look at?" Zhang Qian asked worriedly.

"It's okay, last time Doudou was stung and the swelling subsided after half an hour with some toothpaste." Liu Junhao went back to the room and took out his own toothpaste, squeezed out a small half tube and applied it on the monkey's arm.

This guy probably knew that he was treating it, so he didn't move around, but squatted obediently on the stone slab.

But in the end he couldn't stay idle, and within half an hour another moth broke out.

It smelled a little fragrance of toothpaste, so it turned its head and added a couple of times, only to find that it was edible.

In less than 2 minutes, the toothpaste was licked clean by it.This is not a big deal, it took the toothpaste box and kept biting it with its teeth, looking like it wanted to continue eating.

Liu Junhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to snatch it, it wouldn't do anything good if it fell into its hands.

"Uncle Xiaohao, Aunt Hua, are you idle at home?" At this time, Liu Qiyong came to the door.

"You're here, sit down," Zhang Qian greeted with a blushing face.We have been married for almost two months, and she is still not used to this title.

When she was not married before, people in the village called her Teacher Zhang no matter how old or young they saw her.As soon as she got married, people's titles changed immediately. The older generation still called her Teacher Zhang, while those with lower generations like Liu Qiyong and Liu Qihua called her "Aunt Hua".

This is the customary name of rural people, and it is usually called this when you meet young elders.

Even so, Zhang Qian was still a little uncomfortable. She had complained to Su Nana several times on QQ, saying that she felt that once she got married, she would grow old.

"This is the monkey your family just picked up?" Liu Qiyong wanted to get closer to take a closer look, but Wukong didn't give him a chance, and jumped to the distance.

"You smoke." While speaking, Zhang Qian had already taken out a cigarette from the room.

"Uncle Xiaohao, do you have time today? I want to ask you to do me a favor." Liu Qiyong lit a cigarette and asked after taking two puffs.

"Why are you being polite to me? I have time every day to talk about things directly." Liu Junhao smiled and punched him. The two grew up peeing together, so there is no need to be so polite.

"My family has harvested sweet potatoes, and I want you to help dig a sweet potato well."

In the past two years, there were not many people who grew sweet potatoes in the village. Even if they planted sweet potatoes, they only had a small amount of land, which was only enough for their own food.

I never thought that the price of sweet potatoes soared last year, more than one piece per catty.Er Mazi harvested nearly two thousand catties of sweet potatoes last year, and made a lot of money from sweet potatoes.Because of this, many people in Qiuli planted half an acre of sweet potatoes.

Liu Qiyong's family planted more this year, almost two acres of sweet potatoes.The sweet potatoes in the field had just been dug the day before yesterday, and his daughter-in-law was afraid that they would be damaged by freezing in the yard, so she urged to dig a sweet potato well earlier.

A few days ago, he heard from Er Mazi that Liu Junhao was a master at digging sweet potato wells, so he came here to ask for help.

Liu Junhao naturally didn't refuse, and agreed to the matter straight away.

He was digging sweet potato wells for others, and he realized that it was almost time to dig his own sweet potatoes.

Although there are few sweet potatoes planted in the backyard, it is less than a third of the land.But it can't stand to be watered by spring water, it has a lot of knots.According to the output of spring sweet potatoes, at least more than 2000 catties of sweet potatoes can be dug out.

In this weather, the sweet potatoes should be dug down to the well as soon as possible, otherwise they will freeze to death in a few days.

Liu Qiyong's family chose the sweet potato well on a high castle outside the yard. The terrain is slightly higher and it is not easy to dig out water.

They didn't delay, they chose the address and excavated directly.First Liu Junhao dug below, and Liu Qiyong pulled the soil with a rope.The cooperation between the two was quite tacit, and after a while, two large piles of soil were piled up around them.

"Uncle Xiao Hao, come up and have some tea and have a break?" Liu Qiyong was sweating just by pulling the dirt.

"That's good." Hearing this, Liu Junhao supported the wall of the well with his hands, and then kicked with his feet, rushing to the ground in twos and threes.

After resting for a while, he continued to work, this time it was Liu Qiyong's turn to go down.However, Liu Junhao saw that he was working too slowly and only dug a basket of soil in three to five minutes, so he directly asked him to come up and continue digging inside.

In less than three hours, the sweet potato well was dug.

Liu Qiyong's daughter-in-law originally wanted to keep him for lunch, but was rejected by Liu Junhao.

When I got home, I discussed with Professor Zhao. They also planned to dig in the afternoon. As for the location, it was in Professor Zhao's courtyard.This is mainly because there are too many trees on Liu Junhao's side, and the ground is full of roots, which is not easy to dig at all.

When he was digging, Liu Qiyong also came to help.Not only him, but Professor Zhao and Mr. Wang looked interesting, and they had to put on gloves and straw hats and go down to have a good time.

"Don't join in the fun. Digging sweet potato wells is very tiring. Besides, you have never dug sweet potato wells before, so you can't dig well at all." Liu Junhao was afraid that their old arms and legs would fall, so he refused.

"You underestimate people, don't you know where we dug sweet potato wells back then. Let me tell you, I was a pacesetter in the production team when I learned agriculture from Dazhai." Mr. Wang said solemnly.

Liu Junhao couldn't refuse, so he had to let them go down and try their hands.But after a while, they hurriedly called them up again.

As for the pacesetter of the production team, I don’t know how the old man got this pacesetter. If the sweet potato well is dug like this, it will definitely collapse.

Although digging sweet potato wells is a laborious job, in fact, its technical requirements are quite high.If you go down and dig indiscriminately, it is very likely that the well will collapse.Even if nothing happened at that time, it will collapse after a while, and it will be a big trouble if you have to go back to work.

Sweet potato wells come in two shapes: gourd-shaped and quincunx-shaped.Most houses in rural areas are dug in the shape of a gourd, which is the strongest structure.Of course, if there are too many sweet potatoes, they can only be dug into a plum blossom shape. If you go down to four sweet potato cellars at a time, you can hold four to five thousand catties of sweet potatoes.
