We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?
Chapter 230: It's a matter of grain
Chen Tong and Chen Ning didn't know what Cheng Yue was thinking. Her mind and eyes were filled with the big watermelon, and she had no interest in digging vegetables.
I really don’t know how watermelons can grow so big and still be sweet. Shouldn’t they be the same as pumpkins?
The two sisters raised their heads and asked, "Mom, is there any pumpkin in the world?"
All they know about are pumpkin and winter melon, and now there is watermelon, so does that mean there is also winter melon?
Cheng Yue was originally thinking about potatoes, but she came back to her senses after hearing this and said with a smile, "Of course there are pumpkins. Mom still has seeds. Let's plant some next year."
Why are these two children as curious as she is? When she was a child, she asked her grandfather the same question, which happened to be not her blind spot in knowledge.
Of course there is northern pumpkin, which is actually a variant of pumpkin. It is long and curved, and is also called Japanese squash.
Of course, this is only the northern melon from their area. When she grew up, she learned that many places have their own "northern melons", such as zucchini and other varieties, but they are just called differently.
If the children hadn't asked, she wouldn't have remembered that there were seeds in the space.
"Okay, okay! Then all the directions are complete! Mom, what does the pumpkin taste like? Is it sweet too?"
Children are really curious and have endless questions. Cheng Yue patiently said, "Northern melon tastes similar to pumpkin. Among the eastern, southern, western and northern melons, only watermelon is a fruit.
Two little greedy cats, the watermelon will be ready to eat in a few days, let’s get to work first!”
"Yeah! Get to work!"
The two sisters nodded and became more curious about the watermelon. Fortunately, they would be able to eat it in a few days!
The mother and her two daughters had just dug for a while when Chen Lin, Lai Xing and Lai Wang also came over. They started working together and transplanted the vegetables directly to the new house with their roots and soil.
There are only a few watermelons, cucumbers and pumpkins left near the old house. These are difficult to transplant, so just come and pick them when you want to eat them.
By the time the family had finished planting the vegetables, the sky was gradually getting dark. After a while, Chen An came back with a few rabbits and pheasants in his hands.
"Ayue, I'm back!"
Cheng Yue was mopping the floor. She turned around and saw Chen An approaching her. She looked into his hand and said, "Oh, is this rabbit still alive?"
Chen An nodded, still a little embarrassed, "I said no, but my uncles insisted on giving it to me. Some cousins even stopped the car and wouldn't let me leave unless I took it. They also sent me to the village entrance and watched me leave...
My cousin said these rabbits are from the same nest, and we just happened to catch them alive, so we brought them back for Xiaotong and Xiaoning to play with. This pheasant is for you to nourish your body."
It was really wrong for him to send them home by himself and bring back a bunch of things, but his uncle's family not only had a large number of people, but also had great strength. He couldn't run away and could only obey them.
Cheng Yue chuckled, the scene was too beautiful to imagine. Chen An was already considered a strong man, but he was sandwiched between several uncles and cousins and was directly controlled. It was funny no matter how you thought about it.
"Just take it if you give it to me. My uncle and his friends made money from selling herbs, so they are in a good mood."
Chen An looked at Cheng Yue aggrievedly and laughed at him!
Chen Tong and Chen Ning also ran out of the house when they heard the noise, like little butterflies, "They are really living little rabbits! Dad, we want to raise them, can you help us make a nest for them!"
Ever since Dahei, Erhei and Xiaohei grew up, they have moved to the chicken coop to look after the chickens and ducks, and there is nothing fun for them to do.
Of course Chen An agreed, "This is what your uncle gave you to raise for fun. But rabbits can dig holes, so dad will make a cage for you so that it can't run away."
Seeing the two sisters nodding repeatedly, Cheng Yue resisted the urge to eat the rabbit, and then took the two pheasants to the kitchen to pluck their feathers.
The pheasant is a male with very beautiful feathers. Cheng Yue picked and chose, keeping the good-looking ones. The long ones were used for decoration, and the shorter ones could be made into shuttlecocks for the children to play with.
After dinner in the evening, Chen An started to make the rabbit cage, and the family sat together watching and chatting.
Everyone is happy and harmonious.
The next day, Chen An went to send Chen Lin, Lai Xing, Lai Wang and others to the county town early in the morning. Chen Tong and Chen Ning still went to the mountain to collect medicinal herbs. Cheng Yue was thinking about potatoes, so she went to the fields after dinner.
The potatoes are an early-maturing variety that I grew in my previous life. They will mature in about two months, so the time is almost here.
Cheng Yue arrived at the field and first dug one at the edge. The big one was as big as a fist, and the small one was about the size of an egg. They were fully mature and quite big!
To be on the safe side, Cheng Yue randomly dug a few more potatoes from the ground. Surprisingly, each potato plant had six or seven potatoes, and some had eight or nine!
This was beyond her expectations.
She originally thought that the land at that time was not fertile and the yield should be far lower than it is now. Just like sweet potatoes, everyone in the village grows them now, but the yield is not high and the sizes are not big.
Now it seems that it is a problem with the grain varieties!
The more Cheng Yue thought about it, the more excited she became. With this output, why would she be worried about going hungry? Moreover, her business territory could be expanded again!
Potatoes have a high yield and taste good. They are delicious no matter how they are fried, stir-fried, steamed, deep-fried, baked, or served cold, mashed, or made into vermicelli. Although they are both considered staple foods, potatoes can obviously be cooked in more diverse ways.
Cheng Yue dug a large basket with great effort. When she arrived at the door of her house, she happened to meet Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui who were going to release the ducks.
"Sister Cheng Yue, what's that in your basket? Why is it so black?"
Zhao Xiangxiu looked at it for a long time but still couldn't understand it. It looked like a duck egg covered in mud. She had no idea where Cheng Yue dug it out from.
Cheng Yue put down the basket, picked up a potato, rubbed it to reveal its original yellow-white color, and handed it to Zhao Xiangxiu to see, "This is a potato, it can be used as food and a dish. I'll give you a few to try when I get home at noon!"
Zhao Xiangxiu's eyes lit up. "Is this food? That's really rare! Sister Cheng Yue, let's go release the ducks first. I'll find you at noon!"
Being able to cook is nothing. What they care about most is food. How could farmers complain about having too much food?
But now is not the time to talk, they have to release the ducks first.
Cheng Yue responded, "Okay! You go first!"
Then I carried the basket back home. Today at noon, I will eat potatoes in various ways! Fresh potatoes are the most delicious!
Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui were herding ducks down the mountain one after the other. Thinking of potatoes, they laughed, "Potatoes, beans in the soil? Beans can't be this big. I think it's more appropriate to call them ground eggs."
Sweet potatoes are potatoes grown in the ground, and ground eggs are eggs grown in the ground.
"I just don't know what it tastes like? They all grow in the ground. Will they taste like sweet potatoes, sweet? How can I cook them then?"
Cuicui also smiled, "Mom, just focus on releasing the ducks first! Didn't Aunt Cheng Yue say she would give them to us at noon? You'll know after you try them."
How come her mother changed the name of the potato? But the potato does look like a ground egg.
Zhao Xiangxiu gave her a glare, "Can't you tell me now?"
She was wondering where Cheng Yue got these strange seeds. It was the same with the tomatoes she gave her last time and the potatoes this time.
The tomatoes were especially delicious, sour and sweet. She even saved some seeds to plant next year!
I don't know how to plant potato seeds and how much it costs? No matter how it tastes, it is food after all. She also wants to buy some from Cheng Yue to plant and change the taste!
