Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Look, now the small group alliance has been successfully tied up, right? In the future, if they do something secretly, they will have a cover, right? We are not lying about advancing and retreating together.

The old lady's face was rosy and she was sleeping soundly. The adults from both families went back.

Before the door was closed, Grandpa Guan came in with an umbrella. "I heard your grandma fell down. How is she now? Why didn't she go to the hospital? Do you want me to ask someone I know?"

"My grandma is fine. She has been to the hospital, had her bones fixed and had a cast put on.

The hospital told me to go home and recuperate. Medical resources are in short supply, so they won’t admit patients like me to the hospital.”

Han Zhaozhao welcomed the people in and found that there was a large group following behind them. The third son Niu Xiaolian and others came again.

"Zhao Zhao, this is the steamed bread I asked for from the cafeteria. You haven't eaten for a day, so Chef Wang gave it to you.

He said, now that you don’t have an iron pot at home and can’t steam dry food, you can go to the canteen to get two steamed buns every day.”

Han Zhaozhao said that she had to serve her grandmother at mealtime and had no time to go to the cafeteria. She would go there to get some food tomorrow morning and make porridge.

All the friends were present, including Grandpa Guan. Han Zhaozhao served each of them half a bowl of pig's trotter and soybean soup.

"Everyone, have a try. I made extra for you. Don't be disgusted. It only has soybeans but no pig's trotters. Grandpa Guan, I'll stew it until it's very soft. You will definitely be moved when you chew it."

The friends were too embarrassed to answer and said, "It's hard to find these things, let's save them for Grandma Han!"

We have already eaten, eating any more would be a waste!"

Han Zhaozhao blinked fiercely. "I grew these soybeans at home. I didn't spend any money on them. I gave them to my grandmother from the pig's trotters. You guys can just eat some soybeans to taste the meat."

Oh, the children understood. Everyone had divided up the soybeans and peanuts grown on the mountain, and they had some at home. They were not rare and could be eaten. At worst, they could go into the mountain and carry some back to Zhaozhao's family at night.

Old Man Guan was not polite either. At his age, he would eat anything anyone gave him.

What's the point of saving face? That's for outsiders to see. If you take off your shoes at night, you don't know if you can put them on in the morning. Only what you eat is yours. He is open-minded!

One old and four young people all ate very contentedly. At the end, each of them poured a bowl of boiling water to warm the bowl, blew on it while drinking it.

Han Zhaozhao sighed. Dishes these days are too easy to wash. There are several boxes of dishwashing liquid in the space, but they have no place to be used!

After finishing their meal and putting down their bowls, they went back, fearing that the loud voices from so many people would disturb the old lady's rest.

Han Zhaozhao locked the door and went back to the room to check on the old lady. She was sleeping soundly without even snoring.

The "convenient chair" was placed at the foot of the bed, and on the bedside table was a teapot filled with warm water and covered with a straw cover woven from corn husks to keep it warm.

Han Zhaozhao retreated cautiously and returned to his room.

When I entered the space, I first threw the vest and shorts that the old lady had just changed into the washing machine, and then washed her cloth shoes.

We drove a tricycle and picked all the fruits along the river.

As the saying goes, peaches take three years, apricots take four years, pears take five years, and dates can be exchanged for money in the same year!

The trees Han Zhaozhao bought were all three- to three-year-old seedlings. Except for the persimmon and two pear trees, the others had more or less borne fruit.

Especially the five jujube trees, which were transplanted into the space and absorbed enough nutrients to grow rapidly. The treetops became three times larger, and the jujubes were grown in bunches.

Han Zhaozhao has never found the time to pick dates. The ripe dates are bright red and more numerous than the green leaves. They look very tempting from a distance.

Han Zhaozhao spread a sunscreen net under the tree and shook the jujube tree, which was as thick as his wrist, vigorously. "Huahuahua!" Red dates as big as pheasant eggs fell down with a crackling sound like hail.

After shaking it four or five times, all the fruits fell from the tree. Occasionally, there were still a few red dates clinging to the branches, but Han Zhaozhao was too lazy to pick them. It was a joke. The date tree had very sharp thorns. It would hurt if they were pricked!

Han Zhaozhao picked dates and stuffed them into her mouth. She ate each variety one by one and felt that her favorite was the Xiangshan white dates. They were nine parts sweet and one part sour, with the richest flavor. They were crispy with a small core and no residue at all. They were especially delicious when eaten fresh.

She decided not to dry the dates in the sun, but to store them to keep them fresh and eat them crispy.

Gong dates are sweeter. Han Zhaozhao feels that the sweetness of this kind of Gong dates, also known as Suziyu candied dates, can reach 40% when eaten fresh. It is said that using this kind of dates to wrap rice dumplings can dye the entire dumpling red.

This tribute date is oblong in shape, with a small core, thick flesh and thin skin. The flesh is dense, crisp and sweet. When you take a bite, it's full of water and you can't feel any residue in your mouth.

Han Zhaozhao decided to save half of the fresh ones, make a jar of drunken dates with the remaining half, and dry the rest into dried dates to use for making porridge, steamed buns, and rice dumplings.

Other varieties such as the golden thread dates and horse tooth dates are also very delicious. There is also a gourd date tree that produces gourd-shaped dates that are particularly beautiful.

It is said that these kinds of dates have been tributed to the imperial court and are of top quality.

There are five jujube trees with five varieties, all of which are outstanding. In the first year of fruiting, a total of more than 200 kilograms of fresh jujubes were produced.

There were not many apples and pears. The most on a tree was fifty, and the least was only seven or eight.

We picked only one and a half baskets from six trees, which is probably about 60 to 70 kilograms.

There are thirty-seven late-ripening peaches, which are Pinggu big peaches.

The varieties that originally matured in August outside matured in September after being transplanted into the space.

The peaches are very large, weighing about one pound each, with a deep red mouth and a gradient red color that becomes lighter towards the fruit stem. Although it is not the fairy peach that blooms and bears fruit after three thousand years, it is also an auspicious fruit that was a must-have for officials and families in the capital during birthday celebrations in ancient times.

This kind of peach is a kind of nectarine. It can be easily broken apart and separated from the core by hand.

The flesh is crisp and sweet when it is 70% to 80% ripe, and is soft when it is 90% ripe. Gently squeeze it with your hands, insert a straw, and a sweet juice will come out with a sizzling sound.

The peaches have an extremely strong fragrance. Even without eating them, you’ll be tempted to eat them just by standing under a peach tree.

Han Zhaozhao picked a ripe peach and gently peeled off the skin. It was thin and transparent, just like the silk mask she had used in her previous life.

Take a bite of the fruit, and the sweet juice will flow down the corners of your mouth to your chin. It’s so delicious!

As the saying goes, peach nourishes people, apricot hurts people, and people are carried away under the plum tree!

Peaches are the most popular fruit and are suitable for people of almost all ages. They are a fruit that even patients who are sick and taking medicine do not need to avoid.

Of course, the biggest harvest is grapes.

There were two varieties and two trees in total. Han Zhaozhao picked three baskets of fruits, which weighed at least 150 kilograms.

This is what she left over.

Including the miscellaneous food she ate, she probably gained about 180 to 190 kilograms this year.

She planned to keep some of it for fresh consumption and make the rest into wine.

She had never eaten these two kinds of grapes in her previous life, and she didn't know what they would taste like if they were made into wine.

However, the rose-scented grapes are purple with black when ripe. They have an intoxicating rose fragrance when eaten fresh. They are sweet but not greasy, have firm flesh, and have a sugar content of about 30, so they are still very delicious.
