Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Isn't this sugarcane?

The green shell is a bit thin and not full enough.

This is another good crop. It is good for making sugar.

The excitement of making a wish was beyond words, and even many people who knew nothing about it could see it.

"Sister, are these sweet potatoes as productive as sweet potatoes?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I can make other good things. As for what it is, we will know when the time comes."

"Gu Qinghan, do you still have this sweet stick? I want to keep some to try."

"I'm not sure about this. How about keeping this one as a seed?"

Although he didn't know what Xu Yuan was going to do, Gu Qinghan knew that she had an idea.

"You don't need a lot, I'll just cut a piece and you can eat the rest." After all, people are kind enough to give it to you to try, so give them some face.

Xu Yuan went into the utility room and took out a hatchet. He picked up the sugarcane on the ground and cut off the leaves on it. Village Chief Gu was a ruthless man. He directly dug out the roots of the sugarcane. A large piece of it was covered with roots.

It’s just right, these don’t need to be thrown away, just keep them for planting.

After Xu Yuan had almost finished cleaning the two sugar canes, he picked up a sugar cane and started to peel it. Seeing this, Gu Qinghan also went straight into the kitchen and found the location of the kitchen knife, a good one and a slightly chipped one.

Gu Qinghan took the torn sword without hesitation and walked out of the yard.

He picked up the one next to him and peeled it. After peeling two sugarcanes, he washed them with water, started to chop them, and distributed them to several people in the yard.

"Come on, come on, taste the sweetness brought by your brother Gu. Take a bite, chew it, and spit out the residue." Xu Yuan knew that these kids had never eaten these things, so he demonstrated it.

Gu Qingming had eaten it before, and his father had also told him that it was just like chewing grass roots, and that you only ate the juice. So he wished to eat it the same way today, and asked directly.

"Sister Xuyuan, why can't you just swallow the fruit pulp? Why do you have to spit it out?"

Several children nearby asked the same question.

Gu Qinghan said nothing. He tried to swallow the fruit pulp himself, but it was so hard to swallow that he almost choked.

"It's not that you can't eat it, it's just not tasty and hard to digest, just like chewing grass roots. When you chew grass roots, do you swallow the grass residue?"

Several children also thought it made sense. They bit into the sweet pole and chewed it. The juice went into their mouths and the remaining flesh seemed to have no taste, so there was really no need to swallow it.

"It's so sweet, just like drinking sugar water, so sweet." Many people took a sip and felt like they had discovered a new world.

Well, it’s sweet but not greasy. Xuyuan, who doesn’t like sweet food, doesn’t mind the sweetness of this sugarcane.

When Gu Qinghan came in carrying the sweet potato stick, the Pan Dahai brothers had already taken a close look at it. After tasting how sweet it was, they decided to look for the sweet potato stick when they had free time.

Something as sweet as sugar will definitely sell for money.

After everyone finished eating the sweet potatoes in the yard, the sun was not so hot anymore.

set off.

Go fishing.

·······

The leaves of the rice beside the field became more and more golden, like gold.

The water in the fields has been exposed to the sun, and it is warm, very warm.

"You three, be careful. Don't get yourself into a mess like a mud monkey like you did this morning." When working in the fields, Xu Yuan emphasized this to the three kids, Guozi, Xuanyu and Gu Qingming.

Pan Dahai and Pan Xiaohe, don’t worry about your wish, these two brothers are very well behaved.

The three little ones nodded obediently, and Gu Qingming was even more so. After all, when he returned home at noon, he was naturally scolded by his eldest brother, who even threatened that he would not bring him here if he did that again.

How is it possible? Catching fish is such a fun activity that how can I miss myself?

"That's good to know. Roll up your trouser legs."

Compared with the one in the morning, this field is not very large, and Xuyuan did not put too many fish fry here.

So there are not many fish here, but there are a lot of shrimps. When rice flowers fall into the fields, these shrimps grow very fat.

Several people were bending over and searching in the field, groping around blindly.

"Yuan girl, Zhi girl, Gu boy, what are you doing in the fields?" Uncle Wang walked over from a distance. The rice was very tall, and he saw two figures and shouted from afar.

Xu Yuan heard a familiar voice, stood up and waved, "Catching fish."

"fish?"

"Are there fish in the fields?"

When Uncle Wang heard about catching fish, he immediately quickened his pace and came to the edge of the field.

"Hey, these little kids are all here." When I got closer, I saw that there were actually a few little kids in the field. When they bent down, they were hidden by the rice.

Several kids greeted Uncle Wang one after another.

"It's strange, it's really strange, the fish and shrimps are so fat and delicious." Grandpa Wang couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the fish and shrimps in the basket beside the field.

The rice is ripe, and the fish and shrimp can be served on the table, killing two birds with one stone.

"Uncle Wang, how come you have time to come here? Have you finished your work over there?" Looking at Uncle Wang who rolled up his trouser legs, took off his straw sandals and went down to the field, Xu Yuan hurriedly handed him an empty backpack.

"Almost. We are all helping each other. Not yet. The seedlings in the field are still green. I'll see after a few days. I'll come and see how you are doing."

"Girl, I have to praise you. You have a really good eye. The yield of those sweet potatoes and peppers is really amazing. This is the first time I have seen such a thing in my lifetime. It is an honor for me to meet someone with such good taste."

If I had such vision, I wouldn't have ended up like that. Alas.

Uncle Wang withdrew his thoughts.

I originally thought that this girl was joking, but I didn't expect it to be serious. When I tried to pull out a sweet potato leaf, I was shocked to see bunches of fruits on it.

It’s great that we don’t have to worry about food for the winter anymore.

"I just asked you to try to plant them. The fact that they have produced so many fruits is still due to your careful care."

Uncle Wang smiled, attracted by the growth of rice in front of him.

"I have to say, girl, your rice is growing really well." It was a bright yellow field, the rice was bent, the grains were very full, and very few were shriveled.

"Thanks to the feces of these fish and shrimps, a lot of fertilizer has been contributed." Xu Yuan also felt that his rice was growing really well. How could it be bad? After all, he added growth agents and it was worth 100 points.

"There's also the benefit. Next year I'll try to raise some fish, too."

With the addition of Uncle Wang, the speed of catching fish can be said to be even higher. Uncle Wang is really a hidden talent. Even the fish hiding in the mud cannot escape Uncle Wang's eyes. He catches them all.

When the sun sets in the west, the sky is reflected by the sunset glow, and the whole sky is filled with red light.

Now the field fishing is finally done and the work is over.

Xu Yuan asked the Pan Dahai brothers to take a few fish home. They came to help, so Xu Yuan couldn't let them go home empty-handed, as there were plenty of fish.

"Uncle Wang, you can also take some fish back, and bring some back for Uncle Liu. There are also some shrimps here, take some back too. Can't the peppers be picked? They are perfect for stir-frying shrimps."

Uncle Wang was not shy and took the food from Xu Yuan generously. "You are such a good eater, I want to thank you on behalf of Old Liu."

Everyone had a great harvest, the fields returned to silence, and the setting sun shone on everyone, casting light and shadows on the ground.
