Chapter 124 Sun-drying persimmons
It’s great to enter school at this time, hang out for a while and then go on winter vacation!
"I'm sorry, this is arranged by the commune. It's not something I can decide. I'm just a caretaker of the school, no different from a handyman. I'm not qualified to take care of these things." Principal Song also admired Ban Yutong.
She actually endured the heavy rain in July and the autumn harvest some time ago, and she never had any intention of going back. You have to say that her family is good, but she comes empty-handed every time she comes, and she wants to take advantage.
You may say that her family is not well-off, but her clothes are among the best in the entire production team.
The Song family has been pestered by this Ban Yutong, and they are quite helpless. If this continues, how will Song Qingshu find a partner in the future?
But they would never agree to let Song Qingshu be with her. If such a woman came in, the Song family and Song Qingshu would be ruined.
若是儿子回来了,宋校长肯定会将他往死里揍的,那么想往上爬,那就自己娶班雨彤呗,竟然想把这么差劲的姑娘塞给宋青书,这不是在害他一辈子吗?
Actually, Ban Yutong really doesn't have that much perseverance. She has wanted to go back since the first day she came here. Moreover, the Song family has no money and the conditions are so bad that they are not worthy of her at all. But her father The letter said that the current situation was unstable and he also felt the crisis. She could not go back and it was safest to be in the countryside.
Song Qingshu was fair and fair, and had good temperament. He was different from those rough guys in the countryside. Instead of marrying someone else, it would be better to marry Song Qingshu. When the time comes, she would just hold on to her money and keep it for herself.
Seeing that Principal Song could not allow her to enter the school as a teacher, Ban Yutong turned around and left angrily. She even called him Grandpa Song in a low voice, but he still treated her like this. She should not call him grandpa, but should call him Old Immortal.
In the past, Ban Yutong could go to the commune leaders and ask for a spot as a primary school teacher, but now she cannot reveal who her father is, lest it cause trouble for herself.
She will not rush to marry Song Qingshu. She will wait for Song Qingshu to take the initiative to propose marriage. When the time comes, she will ask for a generous gift, and she will have to ring three times. She wants to be the first one in the countryside, and she wants to be the envy of everyone. That one.
Song Qingshu's father had worked for decades and must be rich. Naturally, she couldn't let go of the Song family so easily. She had to prepare for her future life.
After Ban Yutong left, the three ancestors and grandsons of the Song family looked at each other helplessly. They didn't want to do this, but they really didn't want to be pestered by Ban Yutong, so they brought out the food and continued eating.
Principal Song warned, "Qingshu, don't contact Ban Yutong alone, be careful."
"I have never met her in private." Song Qingshu said.
He has someone he likes and doesn't want to have any contact with Ban Yutong. Since he can't resist his father's arrangement, he can just pretend that he doesn't know. Ban Yutong is not young anymore and should be responsible for his actions. If something really happens , she will bear it herself.
Song Qingshu didn't want Ban Yutong to continue disturbing them in the production team, but how could they refuse something that even his father couldn't refuse? I just hope that Ban Yutong can't bear the hard work in the countryside and goes back as soon as possible!
After the autumn harvest, the weather gradually cooled down. Every household took the time to go up the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables... Xia Chan's family also resumed their hunting life in the mountains, but they hunted once a week, and at other times they still caught fish to sell. . The pair of pheasants Xia Chan raised produced a total of eighteen pheasants this year. Xia Chan only kept the pheasant couple, and a male and a female. The remaining sixteen were also sold by her brothers in the town. .
Quails breed twice a year, once in the first half of the year and once in the second half of the year. Several quails were bred in the first half of the year. Now the female quails have begun to nest again. After a while, there will be a group of quails.
The lifespan of quails is not long, not as long as that of chickens, ducks and geese, so once they grow to two or two pounds, she will keep them in a space. She does not consider selling quails for the time being because the number is too small. Keep it for yourself!
This year, whether it is pheasants, rabbits or fish, they will not help process them, but will directly sell the unprocessed ones, because the unprocessed ones are slightly cheaper, and those who buy them will not hesitate, and they will be able to relax.
Liu Li and Gao Bowen's persimmon cakes were finally dried with the help of Xia Chan. Xia Chan asked them to take them back and cover them with persimmon skins. They can eat them when the white frost comes out. In fact, they can eat them now, but It will be sweeter when the white frost comes out.
When they took away the persimmon cakes, they left some for Xia Chan as a thank you fee. Xia Chan did not refuse. After all, she had to take out the persimmon cakes to dry in the morning and take them home at night to avoid damaging the persimmon cakes. There is dew on the bread.
Persimmons can be dried into persimmon cakes, or you can add flour and noodles to make fried persimmon cakes. It was a school holiday, and Xia Chan wanted to give her brothers a change of taste, so she took a few ripe persimmons and dug out the puree inside. I came out, dug out almost half a basin of fruit puree, and then added flour to it. Xia Chan didn't like the task of kneading the noodles, so Xia Qi happened to be at home, so she asked Xia Qi to knead the noodles.
Xia Qi rolled up her sleeves and kneaded the noodles carefully. When she saw Xia Chan, she stood aside and looked at him. She smiled and said, "You don't have to look at me. I already know how to make pancakes. The rest is the same as pancakes." , right?”
Xia Chan nodded with a smile, "Brother, you are so smart."
"Don't worry, I promise to make it delicious for you." Xia Qi couldn't help but reach out and tap Xia Chan's nose.
Xia Chan stretched out her hand to wipe off the bit of batter on her nose, glared at him, then took the basket and went out. She wanted to see how the cassava and konjac she grew were doing. Both of these things were very popular in the central and southern regions. The harvest is in January, but this is the north now, and although the growing season is the same length, she is not sure whether the harvest period is the same.
In fact, it is winter here in November, but it is not too cold. It will directly enter the cold winter in December, which means that no matter how long it is, you have to dig it out in November.
Cassava can grow to very high heights, and some can even grow to more than three meters long. Therefore, in everyone's eyes, cassava is just a tree. No one would have thought that the things growing under the tree are edible.
What Xia Chan bought was a new variety developed by later generations. It is non-toxic and can be eaten after being boiled. No need to soak it in water at all.
She came to the cassava forest and carefully dug under the cassava poles with a shovel. She soon saw the yacon-like cassava, which was really similar to the yacon, with almost no difference in shape and color.
