Chapter 841 841. Picking up sweet potato vines

Song Youde and Wang Lifen rode their bicycles to the side of the road, then went down the mountain and followed the field ridge to the sweet potato field nearby.

There are not many sweet potatoes planted, only one or two acres of land. Now the autumn air is crisp and it is a good time for crazy growth. The leaves and stalks are so dense that the land is covered with airtight!

If everyone hadn’t come here every now and then to pick some for cooking and feeding to the pigs, I’m afraid that with this growth momentum, I would have to plow the vines in the summer!

Looking at it now, it is also densely packed and extremely strong.

Only one area from the corner to the middle is sparsely bald, apparently because the wild boar came over and ate it randomly, which made the whole piece of land now toothless.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lifen was still a little reluctant:

“Frost is almost here, and the vines are still growing so well, why don’t we wait a little longer?”

Song Youde disagreed, however: "The sweet potatoes before and after the frost are sweet and delicious! Don't wait, there are cattle and sheep waiting to be fed. Is the meat more valuable or the sweet potatoes and vines more valuable?"

Having said this, Wang Lifen nodded: "That's right - these will all be dry if we wait a little longer, and they won't taste good by then, and the pigs will pick them too."

She picked up the small sickle and said, "Let's pick up the vines first, and then we'll dig up the sweet potatoes later—are we planting red or white potatoes this year?"

Sweet potatoes with red hearts refer to sweet potatoes with yellow and white skin. They are crispy and sweet when eaten raw, and soft and moist when cooked.

The red skin with white heart is rich in starch and does not have much water when eaten raw. When cooked, the feeling of fullness will be stronger and the taste will be meaty.

Song Youde also forgot - there were too many crops at home at that time, how could he remember it so clearly? I only vaguely remember it being about half and half, right?

 Looking at the sweet potato vines in front of you, there are some green and some purple. Because they are random varieties found in the vegetable market, the colors are not uniform.

Professor Song saw it a while ago and thought it was deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers! After some more research, I was able to determine that it was a breed problem.

Thinking of Professor Song who left with his students, Song Youde felt reluctant to leave... This expert is so good! Looking at the land at home, that’s a lot to worry about!

Song Youde lifted up the heavy tangled vines. Wang Lifen took a sickle and clicked along the roots a few times, then put her hand away and replaced it with another pile.

 The old couple came together and had a tacit understanding for a while.

By the time Qiaoqiao came over with a mobile phone holder, the old man had already cut a ridge.

 He put the cell phone up: "Grandpa, let me cut it for you!"

"Okay!" Song Youde pointed to the piles on the ridge: "Load them into the car and take them to the factory yard later!"

 “Okay!” Qiaoqiao immediately started doing it enthusiastically.

As a result, the netizens who had just entered the live broadcast room were in a daze and watched the live broadcast room empty. Only occasionally could they see Qiao Qiao passing by enthusiastically holding a sweet potato vine...

 Everyone was so heartbroken that they only had time to leave a barrage—

  【Hey, hey, hey, don't leave! 】

　　【I saw the notice and it came. Why is the anchor leaving again! 】

　　【Does the anchor only have me in his heart, or does he not have anything else in mind? 】

 【《Back View》】

　　【The person in front calls you daddy, you can call me daddy, anyway, I don't recognize the person from the back——】

　　【You stand here and don't move, I'll bring you a bundle of sweet potato vines. 】

  【Is this a sweet potato vine? Do potatoes grow like this? 】

【Speaking of the sudden harvest of so many sweet potato vines, do we need to feed the pigs or the new cattle and sheep? 】

  【Look at the calf, look at the calf, look at the calf. 】

　　【Look at the sheep, look at the sheep, look at the sheep...the anchor only mentioned it in words and never took us to see it】

Although the old couple still worked very neatly, the efficiency of cutting the vines and putting the vines on the tricycle was different.

Qiaoqiao only ran that way a few times, and soon there was nothing left on the ground.

He squatted on the ridge curiously: "Grandpa, are the sweet potatoes ripe?"

"It's done!" Song Youde laughed loudly: "Anyway, we have to dig out these two days, so you can dig out two first and have a look." When Qiao Qiao heard this, he was instantly happy. Then he thought of the live broadcast and quickly put up the shelf again. Move it over and put it next to it:

 “Children, today I will teach you how to peel sweet potatoes.”

“Teacher Song at home said that during the autumnal equinox, millet seeds are harvested during the cold dew in the valley, and sweet potatoes are plowed around the time of frost. The cold dew was last week. Because of the light rain, our family started harvesting rice today!”

 This is what Professor Song taught before he left. Qiao Qiao has a good memory, so she recited it completely now.

“But I taught the children how to harvest rice in the summer, so I won’t review it today.”

I thought for a while and then hesitated and said: "Sister said that the family is a little busy, so I won't invite the classmates for now. Do you still remember to invite pigs and vegetables in winter? Children must study hard!"

　　What Qiao Qiao said was very serious, very similar to what happened, but the barrage was again very fast:

  【Remember, remember, I am the one who kills the pigs】

　　【Thank you anchor for your consideration, I am not good at harvesting rice, so just call me to kill a pig】

  【Call me, call me! During this period of hard study and practice, I have learned how to pull pig legs! My husband testifies! 】

  【I am different, because I studied so well that my husband's pants were all torn off——】

　　【Anchor, I, the judo coach, am really good at practicing my body and body skills, and I can use them to deal with pigs! 】

　　【The two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks in front of you, you are really willing to go out! 】

 Other barrages are much more serious:

　　【It's been five or six days since the cold dew, but it's still a little late to cut the rice】

　　【Didn't you hear what the anchor said? There was light rain two days ago]

  【Is it easiest to sprout in the rain? 】

　　【No, depending on the environment of the anchor, the temperature is low now, it won't be that fast, it doesn't matter if it's a few days later】

I just want to know if the sweet potatoes are peeled a week before the frost. Will the sweet potatoes not be delicious enough? 】

　　【Brother, I think too much, so I won’t sell it to us anyway】

  【Woo ow ow, I feel sad for a moment】

 Would sweet potatoes not taste good?

Qiaoqiao broke off a branch from the side and was already digging away at it.

The soil was soft, and the sweet potatoes were huge. They were dug out in just a few strokes and were round and round. They were completely different from the long and thin strips of sweet potatoes sold online.

Qiaoqiao was stunned as she held the big sweet potato in her hands.

 The barrage was also stunned:

　　【I really miss the sweet potatoes grown in my hometown! Many of them have this round shape. 】

　　　【I don't like such a big one. It can't be roasted thoroughly in the stove. The outside is burnt, but the inside is still raw. 】

　　【It's really hard to cook when it's big, so you have to cut it into several cuts when steaming. 】

　　【No...who can tell me? Do the sweet potatoes dug out of the ground grow this big? 】

　　【It’s really big! If the roasted sweet potato stall at the school gate dares to sell such a big one, one of them will bankrupt me]

  【You are talking about the 5 yuan per catty, weighed by the catty, right? Any one weighs several pounds. 】

  【Five yuan? Where are you? I want seven yuan here! 】

　　【Roasted sweet potatoes in air fryer for 40 minutes...so delicious! 】

Tomoe-nage: The performer falls backward first, pulls the opponent with both hands, and kicks the opponent's abdomen with his feet, causing the recipient to roll over the performer and fall on the mat. [From Baidu] [Can’t deal with pigs! ! 】

Update two, good night.
