So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

Early the next morning, Sui He put down the sweet potato flour that had been hanging overnight, took out a clean round dustpan, and spread a piece of cloth on it.

Put the sweet potatoes in the tent cloth on the cloth, crush them piece by piece and spread them out. The sweet potato powder is still moist and cannot be crushed too much.

You can only pinch it while drying it. If it is completely dry, it will break if you pinch it.

In order to make it dry as quickly as possible, I specially divided it into several round dustpans.

After dividing, Suihe scooped a bowl of sweet potato flour and took it into the kitchen. Sweet potato flour can be used to make jelly. Make some hot jelly to eat.

Pour a bowl of sweet potato flour into a basin, then pour a bowl of water into it, stir it with chopsticks, set it aside, pour five bowls of water into the pot and boil it.

After the water boils, slowly pour the sweet potato flour in, stirring while pouring, and it is ready when big bubbles appear in the pot.

Scoop the cooked sweet potato flour from the pot into the big bowl prepared next to it. Even though there is only one bowl of flour, you can make a lot of jelly.

Take these and let them cool down before eating. There is still some left in the pot. If you make hot jelly, it is still a bit sticky, so pour a bowl of water in it and stir it with a whisk to mix the jelly in the pot evenly.

This kind of jelly is eaten hot, add some sauce and mix it well before eating, it is especially delicious

"Second sister, the onions you asked for." An Zhi came in from the backyard, holding two handfuls of onions in his hand: "Are you going to cut them up?"

"Yes, chop it up and serve it with jelly later." Sui He nodded, scooped the jelly from the pot into a bowl, and added seasoning.

"Anzhi, come and try it," Sui He handed a bowl to Anzhi.

"What is this? It's black." An Zhi took it and stirred it with a small spoon.

Sui He also picked up a bowl, mixed it well, scooped a spoonful into his mouth, squinted his eyes with satisfaction: "Don't look at it because it's dark, but it tastes good."

Sui He put the hot jelly in his hand aside, picked up the other two bowls and went to the main hall: "Take your time to eat, this is best eaten while hot. I'll take it to grandpa and grandma."

An Zhi scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth: "It's delicious." Although it is summer now, the hot summer still can't resist the temptation of hot jelly

An Zhi saw Sui He's bowl of hot jelly on the stove, and stood up to take it out. The kitchen was too hot, so it would be cooler to eat in the living room.

Grandpa and grandma sit at the table in the main room and eat

Suihe and Anzhi held their bowls, each occupying one side of the door frame, and sat down to eat slowly.

When there was no one else at home, the two of them liked to sit on the door frame to eat. The door frame of Suihe's house was wide enough for them to sit on. No one would say they were unruly in their own home.

Hot jelly is delicious, but it makes you hungry quickly. You have to eat something else soon, otherwise you won’t be able to hold on for the next meal.

After dinner, Anzhi cleaned up the dishes and Suihe went to check the sweet potato noodles.

The surface of the small piece of sweet potato flour was dry and it broke into pieces when squeezed by hand, but it was still a little moist inside. Sui He used chopsticks to stir the sweet potato flour and scattered it, and the chopsticks made grooves on the sweet potato flour.

Sweet potato flour should be turned over and dried in the sun to dry faster and more thoroughly.

The koji dried two days ago has been dried. The dried koji is white, round white balls.

Sui He took a small earthenware jar and put all of them in. As expected, they made too much and the small jar couldn't hold them all.

I could only pour it out and changed to a larger jar to barely hold it.

September is the month of autumn harvest, and the next few months will be a busy time.

The sorghum on the hillside is also ripe. At this time, the sorghum is not as abundant as in later generations. It hangs on the branches sparsely.

At this time, experienced farmers will take a cutting knife and start from the bottom. After harvesting the small ones at the bottom, they will gather the scattered sorghum ears at the top together and cut them off with one knife.

Tie the harvested sorghum into bundles, dry them in the sun, and knock them off with a wooden stick. The sorghum stalks with the shells removed are also useful and can be used to weave brooms.

This time of year is the happiest time for children, because sorghum stalks are a rare snack.

Not only children can eat it, but even adults will chew it.

"Sister Chen" Shitou ran to the Chen family's courtyard holding the sorghum stalks he had sorted out and piled them all on the stone table.

"What's wrong? Shitou." Suihe put down the scraps of cloth in his hand. These scraps of cloth were given by Sister Ya from the cloth shop. They would sort them out when they had nothing to do. The big ones were used to mend clothes, and the small ones were sewn into the soles of shoes.

"This is what my mother asked me to bring to you. Come and try it." Shitou picked up a sorghum stalk and rubbed it back and forth in his armpits a few times: "Here, I wiped it clean."

"Thank you, Shitou." Suihe was amused by Shitou's actions and took the sorghum stalk and put it in his hand.

"Sister Anzhi, you should try it too, it's sweet." Shitou saw Suihe taking one, so he took one and wiped it clean in the same way before handing it to Anzhi.

"Thank you," Anzhi took the sorghum stalk.

"Eat quickly, this is the sweetest part at the bottom, specially reserved for you." Shitou saw that the two did not move, and hurriedly urged them.

Sui He and An Zhi looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, I'll try it."

The way to eat sorghum stalks is the same as that of sugarcane. Peel off the skin and chew the white soil inside. Spit it out after chewing away the juice.

"It's so sweet!" After peeling off the skin of Suihe, I took a bite. It was very juicy and tasted very sweet. It was a perfect substitute for sugarcane.

"This is my first time eating sorghum stalks. Thank you, Shitou."

"You're welcome. As long as you like it, I'll go back for more if it's not enough." Shitou laughed.

The thinner the sorghum stalks, the better. The thicker ones have hollow soil in the middle, so the taste is not very good and the sweetness is not as good as the thinner ones, but the taste is also very good.

"Where's Sister Anzhi? Is the food delicious?" Seeing Suihe nod and say yes, Shitou immediately turned to look at Anzhi.

"Ah, me? It's delicious." Anzhi didn't expect Shitou to ask for her opinion. She was a little flattered.

"Shi Tou, go back and ask your mother if she wants to sell the sorghum at home. If so, give me some and I'll buy it at the town's price." Sui He ate two stalks and stopped, putting them aside and saying to Shi Tou

Anyway, she was going to buy sorghum in a couple of days, so she would see who was selling it in the village and buy some.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask." After hearing Sui He's words, Shi Tou ran out. This year his family planted a lot of sorghum. In the past, they could harvest the sorghum in one day, but this year it took two days to finish.

In his world, the longer he works, the more things he gets. He doesn't know if he can sell them, so he has to go back and ask.

"This stone is running so fast!" Sui He looked at the stone's back and shook his head. The children in the village were in a hurry and moved very quickly.

"Second sister, look, there is a piece of silk cloth here." An Zhi pulled out a palm-sized piece of silk cloth from the pile of scraps of cloth: "This cloth is quite complete. This kind of cloth should not be considered as scraps of cloth."

"Indeed, this piece of cloth is really good." Sui He took the piece of cloth and said, "It's a bit of a waste to use it to make a sole. I'll make you a nice one."

Sui He pushed the cloth in front of him aside, took out a pair of scissors, gestured a few times, and then began to cut. The silk cloth was light pink and felt very soft.
