Chapter 61 Autumn Grain
In the following few days, Qiao Mo not only made the coat, but also made a cotton coat using a sewing machine in the wooden bracelet space. He would make the other coat when he had time.
After seeing the clothes she had made, Hua Yili marveled at her good craftsmanship and asked her to help make autumn clothes. Qiao Mo did not refuse: in this day and age, it is difficult to make some extra money, and there is no reason to refuse this job that is delivered to the door.
Seeing that Hua Lili asked her to make clothes, Tang Xinmei also sent her own fabrics and asked her to help make autumn clothes. Qiao Mo accepted it, but asked her to wait a few days.
On the fourth day, the rain finally stopped and everyone went to the hillside to harvest corn: the flat land here has been turned into paddy fields, and the dry land is either in the corners or on the hillside. Corn is relatively drought-resistant and is mostly planted on the highest part of the hillside, making it more difficult to harvest.
The corn was scattered, a small patch here, a few plants there. Captain Li divided the tasks as usual, and the educated youth were still divided into groups.
As the person in charge of the educated youth site, Shao Lidong arranged for the female educated youth to break corn cobs, and the male educated youth to cut straw, transport the straw to the cattle shed, and send the corn cobs to the threshing ground.
In order to save time, they even brought lunch. Even so, Qiao Mo was not the kind of person who would treat herself badly. She got up early in the morning to make rice balls. Not only did she cook rice, she also added diced bacon and cucumber strips, and then kneaded them into rice balls and put them in the lunch box.
We also fried spicy eel slices and tomato egg soup, put them in bamboo tubes and heat them in the fire before eating.
Except for Chen Ran, Hua Lili and Tang Xinmei who were physically weak, everyone else was a strong laborer. Everyone worked together and completed the task before five o'clock.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Mo, it has rained for several days. The mushrooms in the mountains should have grown. It's still early, let's go to the mountains and take a look." Qiao Mo had wanted to go mushroom picking for a long time, but it had been drizzling for the past two days, and Kang Mingyuan had repeatedly pleaded not to go up the mountain, so she endured it.
"Okay, Yimi will cook at home, and we two will go pick mushrooms." Kang Mingyuan knew that she liked it, and he didn't want to stop her if he had the chance.
"Brother Yuan, let's go together. We can have dinner later." Han Yimo didn't expect his cousin to abandon him, and quickly objected.
"We will go with you. Xinmei will stay at home to cook. You can prepare the food and let Xinmei cook for you." When Shao Lidong heard that they were going to pick mushrooms, he was also tempted.
Mushrooms are a delicious dish. If you can’t finish them, you can dry them and save them for winter.
"Tang Zhiqing, are you really willing to cook for us?" The surprise came too suddenly. Han asked Tang Xinmei in disbelief.
"Sure, one fire can be burned, two fires can be burned, it's not troublesome." Tang Xinmei nodded. Compared to going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, she would rather cook at home.
"Thank you very much." Han Yimo happily washed the rice and put it in a pot, then added sweet potato rice and water, and asked Tang Xinmei to cook her own rice as well.
"Let's go too." Wang Jiaqi thought that they had nothing else except the vegetables in their own plots, so it would be nice to pick some mushrooms to change the taste.
"Then let's go together." Kang Mingyuan nodded. The mountain is not his home, whoever wants to go can go.
