Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 217 Sweet Potato Pole



Wang Daniu drove the bullock cart back to Li's house. Since he was not in a hurry to leave, he planned to go to the fields again.

After this trip to the fields, the fertilizer Li Qiuyan made was gone.

"It's okay, I'll post more later." Li Xiangnan was very happy, and he also learned the lesson.

Seeing that the bullock cart had left, Li Qiuyan locked the door and carried a basket of sweet potato stalks to the old house.

Mrs. Zhou was taking Gou Dan'er to bask in the sun in the yard. Li Qiuyan teased Gou Dan'er twice and then directly told Mr. Zhou about letting Li Xiangbei have dinner at his house that night.

"Fourth Aunt, you can go too when the time comes. It just so happens that we can eat together."

Mrs. Zhou shook her head: "Goudan'er will be sleepy after a while, so I won't run away. Let your fourth uncle eat it at your place. I'll go home and deal with it casually."

At home, Li Xiangbei bought snacks and everything else. Zhou got hungry easily while breastfeeding and couldn't cook all the time. She would only eat a few bites when she had nothing to do.

Dinner was a simple meal.

"That won't work. I'll ask my fourth uncle to bring you the food back, so don't fire." Seeing this, Li Qiuyan said what he had agreed upon before.

She knew from the beginning that Mr. Zhou would not go to her house for dinner, but now that she had met him, an invitation was not too much.

"That's too troublesome, I really don't need to say anything."

The two were talking politely back and forth when Mrs. Yang came out of the workshop when she heard the voice: "What, what are you talking about?"

As soon as Li Qiuyan said the words, Yang was speechless: "What a big deal, it's worth pushing me and you two. It just so happens that your fourth aunt is here. Let's have dinner here and then come back."

"That's fine, just trouble mother."

Zhou didn't stop eating the rice cooked by Yang, so he got off the donkey along the slope.

It’s just a meal, no matter what, it’s easy to say.

After deciding the matter, Yang looked at the basket Li Qiuyan was carrying: "What is this?"

Li Qiuyan raised the basket: "The sweet potato stalks I got from the field are delicious. The leaves are mixed with noodles and can be used to steam vegetables. The stalks are blanched and mixed with some garlic, which is also delicious."

"Why do you make this expensive thing so old?"

Yang was happy in her heart, but she still complained about Li Qiuyan.

"It's not expensive, milk. Now is the time to eat this pole. It's tender and raw."

"You took off the pole, how can it still grow?" Yang was a little confused.

"Milk, don't worry about this." Seeing that Yang was still a little worried, Li Qiuyan had to explain: "The leaves are thick and the nutrients are wasted. The fruits below will also be affected. Picking If you pick them, they will grow better.”

Yang doesn't understand what is nutritious or not, but she understands that Zhanzhai looks good.

"Okay, I'll give it a try tonight."

Li Qiuyan nodded and went into the workshop to take a look again. Seeing that although everyone was busy, they were also very organized, so he nodded and went home to prepare for cooking.

Before leaving, he asked Mrs. Zhou: "Auntie, you really don't want to go?"

Mrs. Zhou shook her head: "I'm not going, I'll eat here. After I finish, you can give me your milk."

That was fine. Li Qiuyan didn't say anything more and went home to work.

First pick off the sweet potato leaves, wash them and drain them. Then clean the sweet potato stems, put them in a pot of boiling water and cook them, then take them out and soak them in cold water.

When they were ready, the water from the sweet potato leaves was almost drained. Li Qiuyan took a large basin, put the sweet potato leaves in first, then added half of the cornmeal and half of the white flour and mix well.

With his hands dipped in water, he rolled the sticky dough into a dough ball shape and put it in a large drawer. Seeing that there was still room, Li Qiuyan washed five more eggs and steamed them together.

At noon, Jiang Zhe packed a lot of meat and vegetables, but not all of them were served.

I just wanted to cook something for dinner tonight.

It's almost busy here, and the Yang family is almost busy over there in the old house.

When the people from the doll workshop left, they were quite curious when they saw Mr. Yang washing vegetables in the yard.

"Auntie, what kind of dish is this?" Wu Ying's mother asked curiously as she looked familiar but didn't recognize it.

"Here, the sweet potato sticks that Yanyan sent just now can be eaten as vegetables."

"Can these sweet potato stalks be eaten?" That's right. I go to the fields when I have time and have seen these sweet potatoes.I just didn’t know this thing was edible, so Wu Yingniang couldn’t believe it.

Also, I haven't seen anyone eating the poles before their crops have grown.

Oh, the sorghum stalks can be eaten with sweet stalks, but this is different.

Yang just said what Li Qiuyan said, and added: "I don't understand what she meant. Just eat when you ask for it. It's all given. You can take some away too, there are many gifts." ."

"No, no, there are some in my family's field. These words are filial piety. I won't forget you when I eat something." Wu Ying's mother was very talkative, which made Mr. Yang very happy.

Although the others did not ask in detail, they also heard the conversation between Wu Yingniang and Yang.

"Is it true that picking leaves will make them grow well?"
