The family had a delicious meal of scallion pancakes using the white flour they had before.
Coarse grains will hurt your throat, and you will have to stretch your neck to swallow them, which will cause pain in your throat. However, this will not happen with scallion pancakes made with white flour and lard.
Not to mention the children, Feng Qingxue herself likes to eat fine grains.
There were 300 kilograms of wheat at home. Feng Qingxue washed 100 kilograms with the help of Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng, picking out the wheat awns, wheat pulp, and dirt mixed in the wheat. Although there were very few impurities in it, there were some, after all, it was dried in the soil field. After washing it three or four times, only clean and plump wheat grains were left, which were dried until 70% to 80% dry.
Next, Feng Qingxue dealt with the impurities in more than 200 kilograms of corn. There were impurities such as corn silk and corn hair in the corn kernels. The corn did not need to be washed, but Feng Qingxue still wiped it carefully with a clean wet cloth.
Then, borrowing the brigade's mule cart, Feng Qingxue and Lu Tianjun crossed the city and transported wheat, corn and 100 kilograms of rice to the mill in the city.
Wanglou Brigade has several stone mills and tools for pounding rice, but Feng Qingxue doesn't like to use them.
The first is that it is tiring. It is all done by manpower. The millstone is large and heavy. Feng Qingxue really doesn't have the strength to push it round and round, but it is impossible to separate the flour and bran. In the end, the flour comes out, which is very coarse. The cornmeal is also coarse. Pounding the rice is also done by manpower. Many of the rice grains are broken and brown.
The mill is different. It is equipped with electric mills provided by the state, and you can freely choose the finished product you want.
Because it was just after the busy autumn work, the farmers had grain, and the city also had relatives from the country who could get some new grain. There was always a need for rice and flour, so there were many people waiting to grind flour and pound rice in front of the mill. There was a long queue, some pushing unicycles, some pushing bicycles, and some carrying shoulder poles, and they rested while waiting in line.
Feng Qingxue looked at the sky, then at the long line of people in front of her. She went to get the prepared backpacks and said to Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun, "You stay here to look after our mule cart and food. I'm going to go to my friend's house to get some hot water and give them some corn. They helped me before."
Lu Tianjun thought she was talking about the family who had given her food to help her when she was begging in the past, and he had no objection to her giving them thirty kilograms of corn. Lu's father had already handed the family over to Feng Qingxue, so he would not say a word.
"Aunt, I'll accompany you." Guan Cheng jumped out of the car immediately.
After saying that, he put the backpack on his shoulders.
At the Lu family, he ate well, dressed well, and had adequate nutrition. In just half a year, he grew taller and had the strength to work. A mere 30 kilograms of corn was no problem for him at all, and he looked very relaxed.
Feng Qingxue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you come with me. Tianjun, you wait here, we'll be there soon."
"I know, auntie!"
Uncle Xu was not at home, but Aunt Xu was. Unexpectedly, she did not look at the food sent by Feng Qingxue, but only stared at Guancheng.
Feng Qingxue felt very strange, "Aunt Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Guan Cheng also looked back at the old woman in front of him in confusion, because he didn't know her at all.
Aunt Xu said in a trembling voice: "Is your last name... Guan? Guan as in Guan Gong."
Feng Qingxue and Guan Cheng were both stunned. The former blurted out, "Aunt Xu, do you know my Guan Cheng? His surname is Guan. Yes, Aunt Xu, your surname is also Guan. Are you the same Guan?" Later, Feng Qingxue remembered Aunt Xu's surname, but she usually called her Aunt Xu and didn't remember it for a moment.
