The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

"Oh, I'm so tired. Xixi, please get me an ice cream from the space." Su Ma took off her gloves and said to Su Weixi who was drying corn in the yard.

Su Wenxi immediately took out Su Ma's favorite Chocolatier and handed it to her, letting her take a rest. He then went to the cornfield and transported the last batch of corn back through the space.

In the blink of an eye, autumn arrived and the corn planted by the Su family was ripe and ready to be picked.

The three members of the family worked together to pick corn. When they picked a certain amount, Su Weixi put the corn in a space. When he got home, he placed it on the waterproof tarpaulin that had been laid out long ago, waiting for the corn to dry.

The three of them were exhausted during these five or six days. Mother Su often regretted why she didn't think of stocking up a harvester when she was stocking up supplies for her daughter.

"Dad, is it time to harvest the potatoes and sweet potatoes?" Su Weixi asked her father while rubbing the dried corn cobs.

"Well, I dug a few this morning and it's time to harvest them." Although Su's father was talking, he kept rubbing the corn kernels in his hands.

"Then let's not rub the corn kernels for now. After they are dried, we can rub the corn kernels anytime."

"Let's start harvesting tomorrow. I feel it's going to rain in a few days, and then it will be difficult to harvest." Dad Su said as he looked up at the sky. After coming here for a few months, combined with the knowledge he learned in his previous life, he has already figured out the general weather conditions here.

Harvesting potatoes and sweet potatoes is much easier than corn. Su Weixi can just dig them out and put them in a basket. Then he can put them into the space and carry them home. It is not like picking corn. Even if you are fully armed, the stalks will always scratch you from time to time.

The three of them spent several days collecting potatoes and sweet potatoes from the fields and storing them in the warehouse. There was nothing particularly important to do in the following days, and the three of them were exhausted after a month.

The three of them had harvested all the vegetables in the field long before the corn was harvested in the early autumn. Only a part of them were left to continue growing in the field. When they grew older, they would collect some of them as seeds.

The three of them unanimously decided to have a good rest and wait for the arrival of winter.

But life without much entertainment was too boring, and Dad Su couldn't stay at home. He spent a few days making several traps at the foot of the mountain near the house to prevent wild animals from coming down the mountain without knowing it.

During this period, Su's father remembered the forest where he had encountered wild boars before. He was afraid that the wild boars would come down the mountain, so he went to the foot of the mountain on the west side to set some traps.

After finishing all these, Dad Su's daily routine is to go fishing at the lake with the fishing gear that Su Weixi got from the supermarket.

Su Weixi opened the warehouse and looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes all over the floor, wondering if they could be processed into some side dishes, otherwise they would rot before they could be eaten.

It's a waste now when we don't know what will happen in the future.

Su Weixi took his father to the mountain to find two large stones, and with the help of tools, he asked his father to make a stone mill for him.

After the stone mill was made, Su Weixi took out some potatoes and sweet potatoes from the warehouse, washed them, cut them into pieces, and asked Su's father to grind them all with the stone mill.

Filter out the debris and let the pulp water sit in the basin.

Su Weixi did not waste the filtered residue. He dried it and mixed some of it into the daily feed for chickens, ducks and geese, which were consumed slowly.

The slurry was washed and allowed to stand for several times, and finally the starch precipitated in the basin was dried. Su Weixi obtained several cans of potato starch and sweet potato starch.

Despite this, potatoes and sweet potatoes were still piled up in the warehouse, but soon Su Weixi thought of other food.

After washing several large basins of potatoes, Su Weixi took out the slicer from the space and frantically cut the potatoes into relatively thick slices. He washed off the starch on the surface of the potato slices, boiled several pots of hot water, quickly blanched the potato slices, and then dried the potato slices.

Whenever you want to eat it in the future, just take out the potato slices, soak them in water and then fry them. The taste is different from fresh potatoes, especially when fried with bacon, it tastes better than meat.

Sweet potato Su Weixi was preparing to make some dried sweet potatoes using the traditional method. She selected some sweet potatoes of similar size, washed them, and peeled off all the skins.

Put the processed sweet potatoes in the steamer. After the water boils, steam them until they are tender and can be easily pierced with chopsticks, but are not very sticky.

The next step is to put it under the sun to dry. Things that are to be eaten directly are not suitable to be placed on waterproof rain cloth. Su Weixi found gauze with better breathability in the space.

I asked Su's father to drive four wooden stakes in the yard as fulcrums, tied the washed and dried gauze on the four stakes, and then placed the steamed sweet potatoes on the gauze to dry.

There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so Su Weixi covered it with a layer of gauze.

After two days of drying, Su Weixi felt that the sweet potatoes felt dry to the touch, but were soft and watery inside.

Then put them into the steamer. This time the steaming time will be longer than last time. After the water boils, Su Weixi steamed it for about 40 minutes.

After steaming, it was dried in the sun for two more days. The color after drying was much redder than the first time, and it felt harder to the touch than the first time.

Then transfer them to the steamer and steam them for 30 minutes. The color is basically fixed at this time. Then put them in a ventilated and sunny place to dry for two days, and the ancient method of dried sweet potatoes is ready.

"Mom, try it." Su Weixi brought a bowl of dried sweet potatoes she had made and came to her mother who was making clothes.

Su Ma picked up one and tasted it. It was chewy and not as sweet as the ones she bought in her previous life, but this sweetness could better bring out the aroma of the sweet potato.

Looking at Su Weixi, who was starry-eyed and begging for praise, Su's mother said, "It's delicious. It's better than what you bought before. Has your dad eaten it?"

"No, my dad went out to check the traps."

Su Ma picked up a cloak on the bed and asked Su Weixi to try it on.

The lining is made of cotton cloth taken out from the space, and the outside is made of pure white rabbit fur that Su Ma specially selected from a pile of rabbit skins.

The fluffy white rabbit fur around her neck made Su Weixi's little face look even more pink and cute, but this still very young face still looked a little thin.

"I have become a little whiter these days, but I am still too thin."

What Su Ma said made sense. When the three of them first came here, they were all very thin. During this period, because the food was good and the spiritual spring water they drank every day had special effects, the three of them gradually gained some weight.

"Before, you were either busy in the mountains or in the fields every day. You won't have to do anything in the next few days. The food at home is enough for you even if you can't use the space. You don't have to be busy every day. Leave the cooking to your father and raise some meat." Su's mother said as she adjusted her cloak.

"Mom, I'm not tired, I'm just too bored. Cooking is my hobby." Su Weixi knew that her mother was afraid that she would be too tired, so she immediately comforted her.

"You, take it easy. Be careful not to overwork yourself or you won't grow tall." Su's mother tapped Su Weixi's nose.

Her daughter, who was already in her twenties in her previous life, now looks like she is ten years old. Although she has an adult soul at heart, Su's mother still feels distressed every time she sees this little figure busying around every day.

"Impossible. I was 1.7 meters tall in my previous life. Now both of your bodies are not short, so I will definitely be around 1.7 meters tall in the future." Su Weixi retorted.

"Well, I can't argue with you if you open your mouth." After saying that, Su Ma sat back in front of the sewing machine and sorted out the clothes that had been half made today.

"Mom, don't work so hard. There are plenty of clothes in the space. There's no one here anyway, so it's okay for us to wear modern clothes." Su Weixi said to her mother, who had been sitting in front of the sewing machine for almost a whole month.

Su Ma continued to pedal the sewing machine, and replied without even looking up: "No, it's better to be safe than sorry. Just because we can get here doesn't mean no one will get here either. We still have to wear the clothes here."

Su Weixi knew that once Ms. Lin Wan made up her mind, it would be impossible for her to change it. She also knew that what Su Ma said made sense, so she decided not to persuade her anymore. She went out to prepare dinner so as not to disturb Su Ma from continuing to make clothes.
