Chapter 308 308. Cut tobacco leaves into shreds
No, Song Tan watched helplessly as Song Youde squeezed the tobacco leaves tightly, then took out a chopping board and kitchen knife, and slowly cut the tobacco into shreds.
This action was done in a leisurely and extremely meticulous manner. The tobacco was cut into extremely fine pieces, almost the same as those sold in the market.
Song Tan: ...
Qiao Qiao came out of the room to pour a glass of water. When she saw the pile of golden tobacco in front of her, she turned her head and said "hum". There was a sound.
Song Youde quickly smiled in a flattering manner, and then shouted loudly: "Qiao Qiao! Grandpa will weave a straw mat for you later, and you can sleep on it tonight."
Song Tan said "Eh": " Grandpa, if you make it up now, I will let him sleep now!"
Song Youde:...
He smiled sarcastically, put down the kitchen knife and looked at the big ones! Bundling the rushes, he told the truth: "The grass has not been picked up yet. I'll find some of them first and divide the rushes for me according to their length. I don't have much tobacco, so I'll finish cutting it later."
He planned to smoke it himself, but he really didn’t cut much.
At this moment, a large ball of tobacco leaves is pressed flat and almost ready to be cut.
Song Tan snorted with a half-smile, then went to the side to clean up the grass.
Looking at Song Youde again, he seemed to be carefully handling his precious treasure, bit by bit, until the entire chopping board was covered with golden and finely chopped tobacco leaves. Then he took out a plastic bag and carefully The tobacco is all put inside.
Then he took out his pipe pot from his lower back and stuffed the remaining handful of tobacco into the cloth bag hanging under the pipe pot.
Without doing anything else, he first put a handful into the cigarette holder, lit the lighter with a "pop", and sat there puffing away the smoke, looking intoxicated like a god.
Song Tan suddenly softened his heart.
Tobacco is not a good thing, but for her grandfather, it was the only thing that could soothe the body and mind after the hard work of farming.
What's more, grandpa is already so old...
Well, the tobacco has been grown anyway, so there's no point in stopping him now.
She called Zhang Yanping and Song Sancheng to come over and help sort the bundles of rushes according to length. While sorting, she asked: "Will they have to be dried later?"
"Don't worry." Song Sancheng saw that his brother and sister were sorting quickly, so he simply took out a knife, sat aside and cut the grass in half.
The rushes are not long and thin, but rather thick. All these grasses need to be cut open.
The process is troublesome!
It can be seen that Song Youde's previous statement that Qiao Qiao could sleep tonight was purely to deceive his grandson.
It’s already noon when all the bundles are packed away.
During this period, Song Youde finished smoking his cigarette and came over to help.
He cut it open more quickly and skillfully than Song Sancheng. Soon, there was a pile of grass on the ground.
He then stopped: "Move to the open space outside to dry, and weave straw mats for my own home. There is no need to tie them up, just spread them out to dry them more thoroughly."
Song Tan:...
Is it so troublesome?
No wonder we don’t edit it now, it’s really time-consuming.
However, straw mats are not as cold as bamboo mats, and they can be used in an air-conditioned room. If you have time, you have to get a few more handfuls of straw to make a few more beds.
In case the elderly are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, it will be more refreshing to sleep here.
Qiao Qiao's class was over. Now she and Xin Jun came out to help spread the grass silk evenly to dry. Then when she saw Song Youde, she quickly said loudly:
"Grandpa, I Can you sleep tonight? ”
Song Youde: ...
Why does this kid have such a good memory?
......
He pretended to be old and deaf, and walked directly to his seventh cousin:
"Where is your pipe pot?"
The seventh cousin glanced at him: "I left it at home and haven't gotten it back yet."
He liked it on Douyin and asked Song Tan to help buy it. It looks almost as beautiful as Song Youde, except that Song Youde It has been used for a long time, and now it is smooth and shiny, which is not comparable to his new model.
Song Youde opened his tobacco bag like a treasure: "How about it, okay?!"
Then he couldn't wait to suggest: "It's better to have this day." Morning, why don’t you go back and get it? I’ll tell you, my tobacco this year——”
He took a deep breath and stroked his pipe. The poor old farmer was at a loss for words.
After thinking about it for a long time, I don’t know how to describe the quality of this tobacco.
Finally, he concluded: "You will know after you take a sip. It's so good!"
Grandpa Qi Cousin became wary:
"What you said... …I see you haven’t smoked for a long time, are you feeling scratchy now?”
Song Youde was stunned and wondered: "Don't scratch? I usually only like to smoke a few puffs, and I'm not addicted."
He then reacted: "What do you mean by this? I still have such good tobacco. I don’t want to share it with you!”
The seventh cousin smiled sarcastically.
"I think you described this strength as not like tobacco..."
"It doesn't look like tobacco!" Song Youde glared at him, the two old men looked at each other, and then each hummed. A sound.
But Song Tan also intervened: "Grandpa, I planted tobacco for you. We have to go to the hospital for a physical examination this winter." We all stayed, we were able to get reimbursement, and we took another film.
The upper head shows shadows on the lungs.
That’s it, still smoking!
Song Youde wants to be stubborn and refuses to go, but he will have to rely on his eldest granddaughter for tobacco next year. At this moment, he can only hum twice: "Just go."
While muttering: "I'm telling you, if you don't check, nothing will happen. If you check, everything will show up. You young people just have money and nowhere to spend it..."
But in the end, I didn't dare to resist. , turned to look at the sky, and then took out a large bundle of tobacco leaves from the house:
"Xiao Zhu brought two bottles of such good Maotai liquor last time, so I have to return the gift. I cut two bottles for them. A pound of shredded tobacco.”
This is strange.
Song Tan was curious: "There are only 200 kilograms of tobacco leaves in total. Don't you feel bad?"
Song Youde glanced at her proudly: "Why do I feel bad? You silly girl, do you know how long 200 pounds of tobacco leaves can last me?"
He picked up his cigarette pot and prepared to use data to speak, but After thinking about it, he only picked a handful this time, and he really didn’t have much data to talk about.
Let's change the example: "This cut tobacco is used to roll cigarettes. One pound of cut tobacco can roll 600 cigarettes. How many cartons are there? I'll give you two pounds of cut tobacco. It's not shabby."
< br>In the past, the tobacco in the two plots of land was grown casually without much management, and the yield was almost enough for the family for one or two years.
Who knows that Tantan is a good guy? It has been doubled several times, and now it seems to have gained a lot.
Song Tan was a little surprised: "One pound of tobacco can be rolled into 600 pieces? Then your 200 pounds of tobacco is quite a lot!"
Song Youde became alert: "Not much."
"This tobacco leaf Don’t you have to pull off the pole? This is going to fall off the scale again.”
“My seventh cousin and I both have to smoke it, so I’ll give Xiaozhu another two pounds, which is not much.” There are not many..."
The old man looked at the baby very closely.
Song Tan just said that. Seeing how his grandfather built a special curing room for these pieces of tobacco leaves, you know how precious he is to them.
However, the baking room was not wasted. Now it has been slightly modified inside and turned into a simple toilet.
After all, the house is going to be built in the summer, so there is no use keeping it, so let’s make it easier for everyone first!
Good night.
If there is a machine for cutting tobacco, we will arrange it next.
