Chapter 129 Take Advantage of
After completing these preparations, it was already completely dark.
After working for several hours, Zhao Chunhua felt that her arms could no longer support her.
So she hurried out and found a fellow villager who lived nearby, and asked him to help send a message to Shu Yanyou to inform him that he could come and get the prepared dinner.
Since everything had been arranged, Zhao Chunhua felt that she could let her son come and get the carefully prepared food on his own without having to bother her to deliver it in person.
Taking advantage of this rare break while waiting, she reopened the huge container that previously stored a large amount of sweet potato starch liquid.
Carefully pour out the dark turbid liquid floating on top until only pure white, snow-like, fine powder remains at the bottom.
Then, an appropriate amount of clean water was carefully added, and it was stirred carefully and thoroughly with a sturdy wooden stick. After the water and the material were fully mixed, it was left quietly aside. The purpose of this was to complete the second and more thorough washing process.
As night fell, when the last ray of sunset disappeared over the distant horizon, brothers Shu Yanyou and Shu Yixian knocked on the gate of the courtyard on time, and the crisp knocks broke the tranquility of the night.
Seeing the two people come in, Zhao Chunhua smiled and gently pointed to the two baskets of carefully prepared food that were already prepared and placed on the table, emitting bursts of fragrance: "These are some freshly baked sweet potato crust cakes and soft and delicious jujube-flavored steamed buns specially prepared for you. Please take them back and try them."
Her eyes
There was a hint of anticipation in his expression.
Every year in this season of abundant harvest, making sweet potato flour has almost become a traditional activity for the surrounding families.
Giving each other various delicacies made from sweet potato residue has long become a way for neighbors to enhance friendship.
Faced with this kindness, the two young gentlemen did not refuse or feel embarrassed. Instead, they expressed their sincere gratitude and considerately suggested that if they encountered such physical work next time, they might as well let them know in advance. They would be happy to help ease some of the burden.
Zhao Chunhua felt warm and grateful after hearing this, and agreed readily. However, she was secretly calculating in her heart that the next time would probably have to wait a long time - at least for now, she was unwilling to try such hard labor again before her body fully recovered.
As for other potato product processing projects that were originally planned, such as making vermicelli or transparent rice noodles, etc., now I think it might be more convenient to just spend money to buy the finished products; after all, it is just to change the taste on the table from time to time, and it is not something that you have to do yourself.
Although she was so tired that she almost didn't want to open her eyes, Zhao Chunhua still forced herself to get up, boil a large pot of hot water and take a bath, in order to relieve the tense muscles all over her body caused by working all day.
At the same time, she also paid special attention to giving her painful shoulders and sore arms a simple massage, hoping to help these parts relax quickly.
Finally, unable to withstand the invasion of fatigue, Zhao Chunhua dragged her heavy feet as if filled with lead to the bedside, fell on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.
Late at night, out of a mother's instinctive alertness, she will wake up from time to time to check on her baby even if she is sleeping soundly.
In this way, she got up several times to feed milk powder to the little Shitou who was still sleeping sweetly, and changed his clean and dry diaper before lying down again and continuing to sleep.
It was not until the next morning that I woke up from the dream much later than usual.
Fortunately, there was no urgent matter to deal with, so getting up late didn't cause much impact.
Zhao Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
The sweet potato peels that were peeled yesterday have been carefully stored and are taken out again today to prepare for cooking.
She plans to boil it and mix it with other leaves to feed her chickens.
This is not only an efficient use of resources, but also ensures that the poultry eats healthy and nutritious food.
I have to say that this system is really full of technology: no matter when you put hot food just out of the oven in it, it will not have any impact on other items. It is really amazing.
This made Zhao Chunhua feel deeply moved, and she secretly felt fortunate that she had such a convenient tool.
Shortly after noon, the chicks that had been ordered in advance were delivered to our doorstep on time.
Seeing the lively and cute little ones, a warm feeling immediately surged in her heart.
Purchasing items in the village is indeed very convenient and fast, especially with reservation services like this one that can proactively deliver the goods to your door, saving a lot of trouble.
Zhao Chunhua took some copper coins from the house to pay the bill, and then saw a dozen furry and lively new lives moving into the pigsty that had been vacant for a long time.
The space that was originally idle due to lack of pig farming finally found a suitable use.
Zhao Chunhua cleverly used bamboo poles and wood to design and build a simple chicken coop.
From now on, this place will officially become the warm and comfortable home for these chicks.
Looking at those little lives crowded in a corner and chirping non-stop, Zhao Chunhua has begun to imagine the scene where they will grow up and be carefully cooked into delicacies in the future. Just thinking about it makes her mouth full of sweetness.
The sweet potato starch soaked in the tank has just been replaced with new water, and the water has become much clearer after sedimentation.
She took the sieve, placed the filter cloth on it, and then carefully scooped out the sweet potato starch that had settled in the jar to dry.
The whole process seems cumbersome but is carried out in an orderly manner.
The yard is filled with various drying tools of various sizes, and every inch of space is fully utilized.
Seeing how everything was in perfect order, Zhao Chunhua nodded with satisfaction.
After all, these are the basic supplies she needs to live and work here, and none of them can be missing.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was no longer so scorching and dazzling, and the air was filled with a cool breath.
At this time, Zhao Chunhua began to busy herself with collecting the dried rice, packing it into bags, and moving it into the warehouse for safekeeping.
On the other side, the sweet potatoes and potatoes that were previously spread out to dry have also dried and can be put away temporarily.
The sweet potatoes are moved to the woodshed and left there for a while. After the moisture inside gradually evaporates, the sweetness of these sweet potatoes will be greatly improved.
The potatoes were packed directly into cloth bags and neatly stacked in a corner of the warehouse.
After learning how to make the most of limited space, even though the warehouse at home was not too large, Zhao Chunhua only used less than one-third of it.
