In the following days, people came to visit the family one after another.
It was not a good idea for them to hide in the space to work, but the rice in the space was just beginning to droop, and the tips of the ears were only beginning to turn golden, so it would take ten more days before the rice was ready to be harvested.
So there's still time to deal with these people in the next few days.
The rice field in the space, Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan also followed Lu Jianguo's instructions a few days ago, blocked the small canal that drew water from the stream, so that the water from the stream would not pour into the rice field, by the time the rice was fully ripe, the rice field should be dry.
The rice field was dry, so it was much easier for them to harvest, but if they wanted to plant another season of rice, they would have to plow the ground again.
It was good that they calculated the rice harvest this year, but the harvest per mu of land outside was not bad, but the harvest per mu of land in the space was at least double that of the outside.
So the family doesn't plan to plant the next season, they plan to wait until the next spring to sow the seeds outside and then sow the seeds together.
Although there was nothing serious to do, there was a lot of chores to do, and they had to pack up long-unused farming tools before the rice was ripe.
The family was so busy that they couldn't stop, and it just saved the people who came to visit them from staying at home all day if they had nothing to do.
The scythe these grind will also be able to use, the main thing is the threshing machine, remove the engine that was used before and install the foot pedals from scratch, and then it will rely on the force of the foot to drive the rollers to turn the grain.
Roller on the rake teeth because of the long term not, some loose or broken, also have to be replaced, although this work looks simple, only moderate thickness of steel wire cut into about fifteen centimeters in length, and then get bent, and finally the two ends knocked pointed to fixed into the roller inside, but do up tedious and tiring.
Every morning I picked a big basket of long beans and eggplants, and green beans, and it took me half a day just to process these vegetables.
The chili peppers are also picked every three or four days, and the good thing is that they consume a lot of chili peppers a year here, and there are many ways to handle them, so there's no fear of running out.
Red peppers directly dried into dried peppers, and then dried a little bit can also be beaten into chili powder, fresh red peppers washed and dried water, enlarged wooden pots, plus garlic cloves, minced with a lot of salt, put on a few days is spicy and delicious minced peppers, put at room temperature can be stored for a year.
The beans are not hit by pesticides, so there will be some insect eyes, pick home and choose one by one, then wash and blanch the water to dry and make dried beans, or just wash and dry the beans and throw them into the jar of pickled vegetables to make sour beans.
The eggplant is much easier to deal with, wash and slice into a, dry and make dry eggplant slices, left to the winter time fried sausage bacon is a good dish.
But is half a month time, the family's dried beans saved a lot, after half a year of dried beans fried bacon, dried beans and stewed ribs will not be lacking, they did not take back every day are dried, but left a part of it out to put down the space to store, winter time can also eat a few meals of fresh vegetables.
One day Lu Baiming also sent them a knife bean, Ye Yuanrong thought about it, took some thought, the knife bean peeled the inside of the hard shell, with the blanched bean eggplant in the sun, because all kinds of vegetables contain different moisture, when the other are dried, the eggplant just will be dry before drying, already out of oil state, and then put all the ingredients together mixed with salt, chopped pepper, bean drums, yard into the jar. In the end, the jar was sealed with water and placed in a cool and ventilated place, and after a month, it was a jar of special jar of vegetables.
This is not only Zhou Yan, even Lu Baichuan and Lu Jianguo haven't eaten this kind of jar dishes for many years, because in addition to the ingredients to deal with quite a lot of trouble, but also with the local climate, the same practice, Ye Yuanrong made in S city is not as good as in the old home, and do this dish also depends on the season, so their family also hasn't eaten this kind of dishes for many years.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest addition to your own home, and then you'll see the newest addition to your own home.
The Lu family originally wanted this kind of result, seeing the purpose achieved, naturally is happy to see it done.
The weather was good, no one had been visiting their home for two or three days, and with such good weather today, it was expected that everyone would be busy with work, so they decided to enter the space to collect rice today.
Just in case, as usual, leaving Ye Yuanrong outside, they three men went in to clean up.
Early in the morning, three people into the space to cut grain, because the space of the rice growth is very good, so it is relatively tiring to cut up, but only one or two, feel heavy, a little unable to pinch the wrist.
So in the morning, three people only cut less than half a mu of land, but the rice cut down the ground is piled up all over the place, even the footing is not easy to find.
Thinking that there would be a series of threshing and drying the grain afterwards, which was not easy, the three of them went out to eat breakfast first, and then cut as much as they could.
Because of the heavy work, Ye Yuanrong did not make those breakfast with soup in the morning, directly cooked a big pot of rice, and also specially fried a few dishes that everyone loves to eat, and as a result, the three of them did not eat much because they were hot and tired.
When Zhou Yan saw Lu Bachuan come out, he just kept pouring cold water, but the rice didn't move much beside him for a few bites, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad and asked, "Why don't you eat more?"
Because the one who cooked the meal was his own mother, there has been nothing that can't be said at home, so Lu Bachuan said directly: "It feels like the morning meal is too hard to eat."
Zhou Yan sniffed, "Then how about I go and cook you something else?"
Lu Bachuan hadn't answered, next to Ye Yuanrong immediately stopped him and said, "Don't spoil him, it's been a busy morning, everyone can eat, why can't he eat it, when he's hungry."
Zhou Yan got up and said, "It's fine, there just happens to be tomatoes and scrambled eggs, just pour them on directly after cooking." He said and turned to ask Lu Bachuan, "Do you want to eat rice noodles or noodles?"
Lu Bachuan, under Ye Yuanrong's stern gaze, said with a hard scalp, "Just noodles!"
I can't help but spit out his mother, usually when you call my father did not see you soften ah, I'm just a boyfriend to cook a bowl of noodles, how you are not happy, in the end who is your real son ah!
From the water boiling, to the noodles cooked out, but it was only a matter of minutes, after the pot, Zhou Yan also went through the cold water once, so that the noodles will not be paste even if they are left for a while.
The pot that is usually used for soup is directly filled with most of the noodles, and it's good that the amount of tomatoes and eggs that Ye Yuanrong scrambled in the morning is quite enough to make the toppings.
After the meal, Ye Yuanrong couldn't help but think that his family has really been used to eating something with soup and water for breakfast all these years, and he would rather not cook for breakfast in the future, in case he is afraid of working and hungry, he would do some other food that can satisfy his hunger and eat it in the middle of the break.
After the meal, several people did not rest, while it was still early, quickly into the space to work.
The paddy field had been emptied of a small piece of open space when the rice was being cut, just left for the current use of putting the threshing machine, and after putting the threshing machine steady, a few boards were used to cover up the barrel behind the threshing machine, to prevent the grain from splashing out after the rollers threshed the grain.
At first, Lu Jianguo also taught two people in the front how to hold the rice stalks to send the ears of rice into the threshing machine on the roller threshing, and so after the two people get started, he went to the back of the barrel to thresh the good rice a dustpan a dustpan out, pouring next to the open space covered with tarpaulin to dry.
This manual threshing machine is a very physical work, not only have to constantly bend over to replace the hands of the stalks, but also the foot has been pressing hard on the wooden pedal to drive the two sides of the gears, gears and then drive the big wheel fast rotation to threshing.
The non-stop high intensity work, the morning to eat the noodles really not top hunger, not yet to eleven, a few people are hungry chest to back, but good Ye Yuan Rong had anticipated this, the morning's leftover rice, with chopped carrots, ham and vegetables these, and then beat two eggs, fried a spicy fried rice.
This time Lu Bachuan did not mind the rice being too dry, and finished a pot of just-cooked loofah soup in just three minutes.
Now that they have eaten enough, a few people to work naturally more hard, and at this time the open space tarp is about to be covered with rice, and then more space will not have a place to dry, they can not dry to the outside, so a little more playing today's work is almost complete, and so today the batch of rice just played out to dry a little moisture, tomorrow, then play, then drying.
After one day of drying, the rice can be half dried, and then we can wait until we have time to dry it out and put it away.
It was only after a busy morning plus a morning of work that three people were able to collect about a quarter of the rice, but they were all exhausted, looking at the remaining three quarters, at least three more days to collect, Zhou Yan couldn't help but lament that although the harvest was pleasant, it was also tiring.
Fortunately, the rice outside is not so ungodly long, although this sounds like a very yawn, but it is the most real inner thoughts of a few people who are so tired that they can't even straighten their backs at this time.
As a result, the next few days, a few people were too tired to work with the same efficiency as the first day, and they worked for a week before and after to clean up the rice inside the space.
Looking at the piles of rice piled up all over the warehouse, a few people felt extraordinarily relieved.
