Chapter 218 The pacesetter of the production team
It was Saturday, and it was a rare good weather. After dinner, Zhang Qian urged Liu to take it off and change the washing. She had already developed the habit of washing clothes every Sunday.
Liu Junhao originally wanted to intervene and help, but his wife drove him away. He sat in the yard for a while, and suddenly he thought that there were still sweet potatoes under the stove. After eating, he forgot about this matter completely. Now it is estimated that it should be cooked.
During breakfast, I cut a few sweet potatoes and threw them into the pot, and finally one left was left. Liu Junhao took advantage of the good heat in the stove and threw the sweet potatoes into it and baked it.
Zhang Qian was originally worried that she would not cook, so she had to add a handful of fire to it, but was finally stopped by him. Liu Junhao is a veteran of roasting sweet potatoes, so he naturally knew that the heat was just right. If you add firewood, you would definitely have to roast it, which would turn into coke and you would not be able to eat it at all.
He went to the stove and slashed the charcoal ash with branches at will. Suddenly, sparks appeared inside. A yellow-brown sweet potato covered with charcoal ash rolled out.
He took a small stick and beat the potato skin, and the charcoal ash was beaten clean. Although it was a bit hot, Liu Junhao couldn't wait. After breaking it gently, a hot water vapor suddenly emerged, mixed with an attractive fragrance. The orange sweet potato meat made people salivate just by looking at it.
"Squeak..." Before he could eat, the monkey smelled the smell first, squatted in front of him with his eyes fixed on the sweet potato.
"Do you want to eat?" Liu Jun was a little funny when he saw it, and his hand lowered it by about ten centimeters to make fun of it.
"Squeak..." The guy kept jumping on the ground, stretching his claws for several times.
"I don't want to eat it, but who told me to pick the apple yesterday?" I finally took revenge. Yesterday, my wife ridiculed him because of the apple. Now the feng shui turns around. Looking at Wukong looking at him, the pitiful mood Hao was quite proud and gently biting a bite of the sweet sweet potato...
Jie. He immediately jumped up from the chair and kept blowing it. It was so hot. In order to make the monkey tease, he actually forgot that he had just broken open the sweet potato and had to wait for a while before eating it.
Be hot and happy! The taste of roasted sweet potatoes is different from boiled sweet potatoes. They are sweeter and crisper. After sliding through them, they produce saliva in their mouths. The fragrance does not dissipate.
"Step somersaults. I'll break up somersaults for you." When he saw Wukong wandering around him, Liu Junhao became excited.
This guy seemed to really understand that his body rolled flexibly on the ground, and then ran to him again.
It looked good. Liu Junhao broke half of the sweet potato and handed it into the monkey claws. This guy didn't look like eating. He stuffed the sweet potato into his mouth.
Then it was so hot that it jumped up in the yard. Liu Junhao was very happy to see it.
Zhang Qian smiled and pushed him and said, "You are really good. Just give it to me if you are as cold as a child."
After all, this guy was not too stupid. He jumped to the edge of the basin and drank a few sips of cold water before he settled down.
When the sweet potato got into the stomach and surrounded it again, this time, Liu Junhao didn't have to speak and rolled in two straight rounds.
In the end, I didn’t eat much of the roasted sweet potatoes myself, and the monkey was reimbursed for the rest.
The guy had enough food and drink, and then started to play with Doudou, fighting from the edge of the chicken cage to the reed pile. The cat grabbed the monkeys and scratched the yard, and the war suddenly became in chaos.
Just as he was about to scold him, the two guys suddenly ran down screaming. Doudou crept into Liu Junhao's arms, while the monkey jumped up the tree.
"What's the matter?" Liu Junhao got up and looked at the reed pile, and found that there were many bumblebees crawling on the reed poles.
He understood that it must have been the two guys who were playing on the reed pile just now, alarming the bumblebees. The weather is warm today, so the bumblebees are more active than usual. After a while, seven or eight people were flying over the reed pile.
Doudou was afraid that the beebee Liu Junhao would understand. When this guy first came to the house, he was not angry and ran around and was stung by the bee several times. Later, it became completely honest and usually did not get on the reed piles without any trouble.
The monkey... Seeing that Wukong was still jumping on the jujube branch, Liu Junhao knew that it must have been stung.
The monkey deserves it, so I can see if I dare to make a fuss in the yard next time. However, thinking that the bumblebee is very toxic, Liu Junhao did not dare to delay it, so he quickly called Wukong down.
"Silk..." Both of them were surprised to see the monkey's swollen arm. It was stung by a few bumblebees just now, and in just a while, the arm swollen a lot.
"Do you want to send it to the street for the veterinarian?" Zhang Qian asked with some concern.
"It's okay. Last time Doudou was stung and applied some toothpaste in half an hour, the swelling was reduced." Liu Junhao went back to the house and took out his toothpaste, squeezed out a small tube and applied it to the monkey's arm.
This guy probably knew that he was treating his injuries, so he did not move around, but squatted on the stone slab honestly.
But he couldn't rest and made trouble again in less than half an hour.
It smelled the slight fragrance of toothpaste, so it turned around and added a few times, and it was now able to eat it.
In a minute, it licked the toothpaste clean. That was not all. It kept tearing it with its teeth, and it looked like it wanted to continue eating it.
Liu Junhao hurriedly reached out and snatched it, and nothing was better if he fell into his 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 said with a red face. She has been married for almost two months, and she is not used to this title.
Before she got married, she called Teacher Zhang, no matter how old or young the villagers were. As soon as they got married, people's names changed immediately. The older generation was still called Teacher Zhang, and those with lower generations like Liu Qiyong and Liu Qihua called her "Aunt Hua".
This is a common saying among rural people. It is usually called this when they meet older elders.
Even so, Zhang Qian still felt a little uncomfortable. She once complained to Su Nana on QO several times, saying that she felt that she got old as soon as she got married.
"Is this your monkey?" Liu Qiyong wanted to come up to take a closer look, but Wukong didn't give him a chance and jumped to the distance.
While "You smoke", Zhang Qian had already come out of the house.
"Uncle Xiaohao, you have time today, I want to ask you to do a favor." Liu Qiyong lit a cigarette and asked after smoking a few times.
"Why are you polite? I have time every day, just talk about it." Liu Junhao smiled and punched him. The two of them grew up pissing together with a piece of live mud, so they didn't have to be so polite at all.
"My potatoes are collected, and I want you to help dig a sweet potato well."
In the past two years, there were not many people in the village who grew sweet potatoes. Even if they were planted, they were only a little bit of land, which was only enough for them to eat at home.
I never thought that the price of sweet potatoes soared last year, more than one pound per pound. Ermazi collected nearly 2,000 pounds of sweet potatoes last year, which made a lot of sweet potatoes rich. Because of this, many families in autumn have a variety of half acres of sweet potatoes.
Liu Qiyong's family planted more this year, and they planted nearly two acres of sweet potatoes at once. The sweet potatoes in the field were dug the day before yesterday. His wife was afraid that they would freeze in the yard, so she urged her to dig the sweet potato well early.
A few days ago, he heard Ermazi say that Liu Junhao was a master of digging sweet potato wells, so he came to ask for help.
Liu Junhao naturally did not refuse and agreed to the matter at once.
When he dug a sweet potato well for others, he realized that his sweet potatoes should be digging.
Although there are few sweet potatoes planted in the backyard, they are less than three points of the land. However, they cannot be kept under the watering of spring water, and they have a lot of fruit. According to the yield of spring sweet potatoes, at least more than 2,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes can be dug out.
On this weather, if you dig a sweet potato, you should go down the well as soon as possible, otherwise it will be frozen in a few days.
Liu Qiyong's family chose the sweet potato well on a high fort outside the yard. The terrain was slightly higher and it was not easy to dig out water.
They did not delay, and chose the address and excavated directly. First, Liu Junhao was digging down, and Liu Qiyong used a rope to pull the soil. The two of them had a very tacit understanding of each other, and in a short while, two piles of soil were piled around.
"Uncle Xiaohao, come up and have some tea break?" Liu Qiyong was also sweating after pulling the soil alone.
"Okay," Liu Junhao supported the well wall with his hands, then thrust with his feet, and rushed to the ground in just a few minutes.
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 digging a basket of soil in three or five minutes, so he asked him to come up and continue digging inside.
In less than three hours, the sweet potato well was dug.
Liu Qiyong's wife originally wanted to keep him for lunch, but was rejected by Liu Junhao.
When I got home and discussed with Professor Zhao, they also planned to excavate in the afternoon. As for the location, it was in Professor Zhao's courtyard. This was mainly because there were too many trees on Liu Junhao's side, and the underground was full of tree roots, which was difficult to dig.
When he was digging, Liu Qiyong also came to help. Not only did he, Professor Zhao and Mr. Wang, were interesting to watch from the side, but he also had to wear gloves and straw hats to go down.
"Don't join in the fun. Digging the sweet potato well is very tiring. Besides, you have never dug the sweet potato well and it is impossible to dig it well." Liu Junhao was afraid that their old arms and legs would fall, so he refused.
"I underestimate people, right? You don't know where we dug sweet potato wells back then. Let me tell you, when I was studying in Dazhai in agriculture, I was a model in the production team." Mr. Wang said confidently.
Liu Junhao refused, so he had to let them go down and try it. But after a while, he quickly called them up.
Even the model in the production team is still a model. I don’t know how he got this model. If he digs this way, the sweet potato well will collapse.
Although digging a sweet potato well is a laborious job, its technical requirements are quite high. If you go down and dig randomly, it is very likely to collapse the well. Even if you are fine at that time, you will collapse in a few days. If you have to rework at that time, it will be a big trouble.
Sweet potato wells have two shapes: gourd shape and plum blossom shape. Most people in rural areas dig gourd shapes, and this structure is the most solid. Of course, if there are too many sweet potatoes, you can only dig the plum blossom shapes. Go down to four or five thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes at a time and can hold four or five thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes.
