Chapter 228 Peanuts can relieve spiciness
Liu Yueya couldn't handle spicy food either. Seeing Juanjuan take another big sip of water and still sucking on it, she said, "It would be nice if there were peanuts and milk."
"Peanuts?" Hu Zi looked at her puzzledly.
"Yeah. Peanuts can relieve spiciness." Liu Yueya used to eat spicy food just like Juanjuan, and it was her mother who told her what to eat to relieve spiciness.
Huzi took out a handful of peanuts from his bag, quickly peeled a few and handed them to Juanjuan: "Miss, try some peanuts."
Juanjuan reached out and grabbed the peanuts, put them in her mouth and slowly chewed them. After a while, she really didn't feel the spiciness anymore.
"Wow! Sister Yueya is so smart." Her nose was red, her eyes were still tearful, and her voice was nasal.
"This is what my mother told me. I accidentally ate something spicy before, and she told me that eating peanuts and drinking milk can relieve the spiciness better than drinking water." Liu Yueya explained with a smile.
"My beautiful aunt is so smart." Juanjuan's big watery eyes were full of admiration.
Seeing that she was fine, Madam Si finally felt relieved: "Next time, don't try everything. You are still young. If you want to eat spicy food, you should increase it little by little. You can't eat it all at once."
"Grandma, we'll remember this." Si Jinchen saw that Juanjuan was fine, looked at the dried radish in his hand, and didn't know what to do with it.
"Give me the dried radish. Take Juanjuan to wash their hands first, so they don't accidentally rub their eyes." Old Madam Si reached out and took the dried radish from his hand.
She ate the dry food in her hand with dried radish without any disgust. The dried radish tasted good.
It's crispy, salty and spicy and goes well with rice.
"Madam, this dried radish tastes really good." Hu Zi also took one and started eating it.
After washing their hands, Juanjuan and Si Jinchen obediently ate their dry food, but they didn't dare to eat dried radish anymore.
She could still feel the spicy sensation in her mouth.
There are more clouds today than yesterday, and there is a breeze, so it's not so hot when they go to work in the fields.
Madam Si raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead, then turned to look at Jiang Ze: "Xiao Jiang, starting tomorrow, have someone make some mung bean soup."
"The sun is still quite strong at noon. Don't let anyone get heatstroke. It's really uncomfortable."
"Okay, I'll go buy some mung beans now and ask a woman with good cooking skills to cook them and send them to you tomorrow." Jiang Ze said as he called another person to drive the ox cart.
"By the way, buy some sugar and put it in." Mrs. Si instructed.
"Okay." Jiang Ze nodded and hurried to the city to buy mung beans and sugar.
Juanjuan saw the little mole from yesterday again. It stuck out its little nose and explored the surrounding environment.
"Chiji. Little girl, here, here."
"Shushu, you guys are so great. You helped us turn the soil in just one night." Juanjuan's voice was full of praise.
"Chirp. This is commonplace for us." The mole moved his little pink nose.
"Chirp. Are you applying fertilizer?" It had already smelled the scent of farm manure.
"Yeah. We need to grow more crops." Juanjuan nodded.
"Chirp. We can help you with deep plowing! You just need to spread the farmyard manure." The mole patted his little chest.
"Really?" Juanjuan's eyes lit up.
"Chick. I don't lie to children." The mole was very confident.
"Should I bring you something delicious?" Juanjuan blinked her beautiful big eyes. She couldn't let the mole work in vain.
"Chirp. No need! The bugs in the ground are enough for us to eat."
"Thank you, Shushu." Juanjuan said, then stood up and ran towards Old Madam Si: "Grandma, Grandma."
"Slow down, or you might fall." Old Madam Si couldn't help but feel worried when she saw that she was about to fall at any time.
She put down the bucket in her hand, ran towards her and picked her up: "What's wrong?"
Juanjuan whispered in her ear, "Grandma, Shushu said that if we just spread the manure, they can help us till the soil at night!"
"Really?" Old Madam Si didn't doubt what she said at all.
"Yeah, yeah. Shushu helped us turn the soil yesterday!" Juanjuan nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll talk to your brother Jiang Ze later." Old Madam Si had to think of a good solution.
Jiang Ze returned from the city soon and called the wives of several farmers who were good at cooking and gave them mung beans and sugar.
Let them cook mung bean soup starting tomorrow to cool everyone down and prevent heatstroke.
When the people heard this, they expressed their gratitude to Jiang Ze.
Jiang Ze waved his hand: "This is the order of the governor. As long as everyone works hard, the governor will not treat you unfairly."
"Okay, we will work hard." The people felt warm in their hearts. In the past, no matter who you worked for, no one would care whether you would get heatstroke.
As long as you don't finish on time, beatings and scoldings are commonplace, and their food may even be withheld.
"Xiao Jiang, come here." Old Madam Si waved at him.
"Madam, what's the matter?" Jiang Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Tell everyone not to till the soil today. Try to spread all the manure on the soil today, and then till the soil together tomorrow. This way, the process will be faster."
Madam Si suggested.
"Okay, I'll ask those who are more experienced in farming to see if it will have any impact. If it doesn't, I'll have everyone spread the farmyard manure first."
After Jiang Ze finished speaking, he immediately went to find the people working in the fields. After discussing with them, he found that there was no problem.
It is reasonable to turn the soil the next day after spreading the decomposed farmyard manure, and there is no big problem.
So after a while, the cows in the field put down their plows and started carrying farm manure to fertilize the fields.
Juanjuan sat on the buffalo's back and said, "Niuniu, you are so strong!"
"Moo. This is all the strength I have, but I'm very good at work." The buffalo swung its tail and walked forward step by step.
"Will you feel tired carrying Juanjuan?" Juanjuan was afraid of tiring it out.
"Moo. Don't be tired. You are so light. Just sit still." The buffalo pulled her for a stroll in the field.
Whenever Hu Zi heard her say something, the buffalo would respond with a "moo", as if they were chatting.
He watched them chatting with a smile: The lady is so cute, she can even chat with the buffalo in unison.
Si Jinchen handed the empty bucket to Juanjuan: "Juanjuan, help me scoop some farm manure."
Juanjuan lay on Niu Niu's back, using his small ladle to scoop farm manure into his small bucket.
The two children cooperated very well.
Juanjuan looked down at the cow holding the wooden barrel, tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Brother, if the barrel had a lot of holes, would the cow be able to spread the farmyard manure by itself when it runs?"
Si Jinchen carried the bucket and looked at the two large buckets on the ox's back: "It seems we can give it a try."
"Niu Niu, let's go back and find Brother Jiang Ze." Juanjuan touched the buffalo's big head.
"Moo. Hold on tight!" The buffalo turned around and ran towards the edge of the field.
Its running scared the surrounding Hu Zi and others so much that they almost lost their souls: "Miss."
