Chapter 507 Knocking on the Ground

Chapter 507 Knocking on the Ground

"Can one weigh more than ten or twenty kilograms?" Su A'nai's eyes widened.

"Absolutely." Su Ziling nodded slowly.

"My dear, it's so high-yielding. Why does it feel like it's higher than the sweet potato yield?"

"No, it's not as good as sweet potatoes, but it's much higher than others." There is no doubt that sweet potatoes have the highest yield.

She put the melons directly into the basket on her back, "There are so many. Let's give some to Third Uncle and the others later so they can all have a taste."

"Just come and watch," Su A'nai asked while nibbling on the potato, "What's for dinner? The peas have been cooked in the gong pot and are almost ready to eat."

Looking at the sacks on the side, she added, "You go about your business. I'll steam the rice. Aren't you going to make those potatoes later? Just fry the potatoes then."

Su Ziling nodded. She wanted to take a look at the ginger taro, "Okay, Grandma, you scoop some sour mustard and put it in the steamer. Then steam an egg in the bottom of the steamer. I'll fry the potatoes later and get some pickles." It’s ready to eat.”

Su A'nai went back to the kitchen to cook, Su Ziling continued to pick the ginger taro, and Axiu sat aside and watched. In the yard, apart from the sound of her munching the melons, the chickens cuckling nearby.

"The sun is going to set. Have you fed your pig?"

Axiu shook her head, "Don't worry, I've done it. I'll just pour it into the trough in a while. The rabbits, chickens and ducks have already been fed."

"Sister, what is this?"

She stared at the ginger taro on the ground, her eyes full of curiosity.

"If you plant ginger taro next year, its leaves can be used to feed pigs and cattle. The tubers can be mashed like sweet potatoes and used to make ginger taro powder. It will be sweet and delicious when cooked without adding sugar. "

Ginger taro starch is similar to lotus root starch and tastes quite similar, except that ginger taro starch is sweeter than lotus root starch.

These more than 100 kilograms can be used to grow a lot of crops. When the time comes, it can be sold in restaurants or in mountain cols.

After flipping through the ginger taro, she also took a look at the pancreatic islets. After reading through them all, she couldn't straighten her waist.

Seeing this, Axiu ran over and beat her on the waist, "Sister, is this here? Are you feeling better?"

Eight-year-old Axiu already had a lot of energy. Coupled with the full meal, her strength was much stronger than in the previous two months. Her little fists fell like raindrops on her waist.

The intensity was just right. Su Ziling looked back at her slightly and said, "Try harder, Axiu."

"Hey!" She responded loudly, "Sister, why don't you lie down on the bed and I'll step on you."

"I used to step on my dad and grandma, and they loved it."

Su A'nai heard her words when she came out, "You don't want to be stepped on by your sister, just pound her like this."

"Oh." Axiu responded without interest.

Su Ziling touched her head and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not sore anymore. You can go about your business."

Su Ziling carried the picked seeds into the house bag by bag, and took the edible ones to the kitchen, while the peppers were placed in a separate room.

Seeing that it was still early, she took some soil melons out and put them in the basket, and shouted to Axiu who was pouring pig food over there.

"Axiu, after you finish feeding, take these melons to your third uncle and the others, three to your brother Ayuan next door, two to Aunt Ji's family, and the rest will be divided between the third uncle and the fourth uncle's family. I The knots have been tied for you, just give them to each family when the time comes.”

Afraid that she wouldn't be able to remember which family gave how much, Su Ziling directly tied the soil melons into four knots, one for each family.

"Hey, I understand. Sister, please leave it by the door for me. I'll be fine soon."

Su Ziling put the melon by the door and turned around to go into the kitchen. Su A'nai was steaming rice. The big stove was steaming with steam. There was a gong pot on the fire pit. The aroma of bone soup overflowed and the whole room was filled with the aroma of meat.

"Grandma, where's the pepper seed you cut? It's still early, I'm going to scatter it."

"It's in the house. I'll get it for you." Su A'nai wiped the water on her hands and went back to the house to get the seeds for her.

This pepper plant, Su Ah Nai, has been pruned for a long time, and she is pruned whenever she has time.

Break the bellies of dried peppers and pull out the seeds. The seeds can be used as seeds. The peppers can still be eaten by pounding them.

The peppers are so annoying that they can't cut much in a day. If they only had their own, they really couldn't get much, but many people in the village said they would leave some for them, so Su A'nai still hasn't cut enough.

"Is this enough? There are not enough." Su A'nai took a cloth bag, which was sewn with rags and patchworked together in various colors.

"It's almost there. I guess we won't be able to get that much, but let's spread it out first. If we really can't plant it all, we can see who wants it and plant it for them."

Su Ziling took the bag, went to the well to get a bucket of water, took out a basin, tied the bag tightly, and soaked the pepper seeds in the basin.

After soaking it and putting it aside, she picked up the basket and went to the backyard to carry a basket of broken dung.

I shoveled some pig manure and cow manure and poured them into a corner of the chicken pen for the chickens to poop.

The chickens will dig up the manure into small pieces and then shovel it out to dry in the backyard.

After being in the sun for less than half a month, it was completely dry by now.

With the manure shoveled and the hoe in hand, she walked around the yard twice but didn't see the wooden hammer she was looking for.

"Grandma, I remember grandpa made a wooden hammer, why didn't you see it?"

"Look if it's on the pigsty. It should be on the beam." Su A'nai's voice came from the kitchen.

"Oh, let me see."

Su Ziling put on her hat and climbed up, and sure enough she got stuck.

When building pig pens and cattle pens, they built two floors. However, there was no floor slab on the second floor. Instead, some beams were built to store hay and saddles.

"You can't finish it alone. Why don't you wait until your elder brother comes back and let him join you."

It depends on whether it's early or late, Su A'nai reminded.

"I'm going to pound the ground first. When my elder brother comes back, just ask him to come directly. No, you have to carry a bucket and a ladle."

Su Ziling was carrying a basket on her back and a hoe in one hand and a wooden hammer in the other, "Grandma, I'm leaving."

When she arrived at the edge of the field, she put the manure aside and headed towards the open space beside it.

There are two open spaces there, specially set aside for growing pepper seedlings.

She first broke up the large pieces of soil with a hoe, and then slowly hammered them with a wooden hammer.

This is a delicate job, and all the large pieces of soil have to be broken into pieces, but fortunately the soil has been dried enough, so it is not that difficult to break.

When Su Zizhong came, she had only knocked halfway, and her hands were already so sore that she couldn't lift them up.

"I'll do it." Su Zizhong took the wooden hammer and started banging, "I brought a sickle, you go cut some mugwort or hay or something, and use it to cover it later."

"Brother, you're here!" Seeing Su Zizhong coming, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought it would be quick, but she didn't expect that her hand would hurt just by hitting the dirt.

Seeing Su Zizhong knocking, she was not idle. She picked up the sickle and went to the side of the field to cut mugwort.
