The end-of-life life of a mountain farmhouse

The asparagus bamboo was also worried that they would be blamed if they ate something wrong, but they made a guarantee, so the asparagus bamboo could only be picked casually.

But the sweet potato vines were picked diligently, and it seemed that there were no shortage of vine leaves. Although he was a little strange, everything that happened now was not surprising, so he never cared about it.

However, Lin Yang in their land is set up with Fengshui formations, so Wen Zhu always thought it was the reason for the small anomaly, but just now he wanted to pour out a bamboo basket of sweet potatoes and found something was wrong, because he found sweet potato vines It has grown through the bottom of the frame to the ground.

This is actually not a big surprise, but the strange thing is that the sweet potatoes are so big, the smallest one is bigger than the heads of the twins, and the biggest one, he hasn't completely dug it out yet, but it is conservatively estimated that it is definitely bigger than their home water. The tank is even bigger.

This is too big. Their family used Feng Shui arrays to grow vegetables and fruit trees before, even sweet potatoes, but nothing changed like this. He called Lin Yang out in a panic.

Lin Yang was also shocked when he saw this. Their family actually grew such a large sweet potato. Shouldn’t this heavyweight sweet potato be a variety that can only be cultivated on TV? .

"What should I do?" Asparagus asked.

"Dig another one!" Lin Yang wiped the rainwater from his face, and he pushed the asparagus bamboo back to the corridor: "Don't move, I'll dig it out, and the sweet potato that grew out of that plant should be bigger." He comforted Asparagus is also comforting himself.

But the asparagus bamboo dug was the worst growing one in their field. The sweet potato vines in the other baskets were still very green and tender. The humble sweet potato gave him such a big shock.

"I'll help you hold an umbrella!" Wen Zhu was wearing a bamboo hat, but Lin Yang ran out too fast, so he didn't wear anything. Now they are not so resistant to the rain, but they should try their best not to get wet .

After Lin Yang walked around, he randomly found a basket in front of their house. This basket of sweet potatoes was the same as the basket dug by Asparagus before, and it also grew on the ground.

But as he dug deeper and deeper, the cold sweat on his body became more and more. This is not a fucking sweet potato, it is sweet potato. It is bigger than the one he found just now. Show a small half.

Lin Yang threw away the hoe in his hand and didn't dare to dig anymore. He turned back and asked Asparagus: "Isn't someone digging sweet potatoes in the village recently? How does their family look like ours?"

Then he realized that he had asked a stupid question. It would be so strange if other people's sweet potatoes were as big as theirs. The village would have been blown up a long time ago, and it couldn't be as calm as it is now.

Asparagus picks up the hoe he threw, and with one hoe, breaks open a sweet potato the size of a crock pot. The familiar sweet potato fragrance instantly radiates, and the juice inside is also the familiar white pulp. Like taro.

Lin Yang knelt down to study with asparagus bamboo, and he moved it with a stick: "The color and smell haven't changed much."

"Who said there is no change." Wenzhu gave him a blank look, and retorted: "We planted sweet potatoes with red hearts, what do you think they grow? There is also this taste, although it still tastes like sweet potatoes, but we used to The sweet potato you eat, if you don't smell it closely, can you smell such a strong fragrance?"

"Then you're still so close!" Lin Yang hurriedly dragged him back a big step.

"I think it should be fine." Wenzhu didn't make such a fuss like him, and moved forward with his foot again: "You can eat sweet potato vines, but you can't eat sweet potatoes that can't bear fruit!"

The two buried the two big sweet potatoes that had not been dug out, and packed all the small sweet potatoes that had been dug out in bags and moved them home.

A sweet potato weighs at least ten catties, and two sweet potatoes are not counting the two huge sweet potatoes in the field, but today's harvest has already weighed more than 300 catties.

Lin Yang exchanged two egg-laying chickens from the village with half a packet of salt before, and he decided to let the two chickens taste the big sweet potatoes grown in their field first.

When he cut sweet potatoes with his hands, he felt very good in his hand, just like cutting watermelon, with a click, it split open automatically, and there was plenty of water inside, and the pulpy white juice flowed out continuously, and the surrounding air seemed to be sprayed fresh Like a potion, it makes people feel refreshed.

The two chickens also seemed to be tempted, they rushed over without any fear of people, and buried their heads in the sweet potatoes.

"Dad, I want to eat sweet potatoes!" Yuzu stepped on a stool and showed his face from the window. He could smell the sweet potatoes. It was very fragrant and juicy, so it must be delicious.

"Let the chicken eat first!" Wenzhu carried him down and comforted him: "We can eat the chicken after it's okay."

Cheng Zi let out a big sigh: "I still have to let the chicken eat it!"

In fact, not only their family, but other people's sweet potatoes in the village are also a little different, but they didn't make any noise when they found it, and quietly took it home and pondered it secretly.

"Aiping, take a look at what this is?" Yu Honglian put the sweet potato that had just been dug out of the ground on the ground.

"Mom, where did you get the radish?" Lin Lin's eyes lit up, and she wanted to go up and lift it up with her hands.

"Don't move." Yu Honglian snapped her hand off: "Didn't you see that I just brought it back and wrapped it in a plastic bag? You dare to touch it if you don't know anything. Touch, you don't want to die."

Lin Lin was taken aback, isn't she just a carrot?

Lin Aiping walked in and looked at it carefully, and fiddled with the tongs a few times, hesitantly said: "Could it be the sweet potatoes we planted?"

Yu Honglian slapped her thigh: "That's the thing. It scared me when I dug it out. Aren't we planting sweet potatoes? They turn into radishes when they grow out, but it scared me to death. No one dared to eat them." Tell me, and ran back in a hurry."

Lin Lin curled her lips. It's not surprising that radishes grow out of sweet potatoes. Now it's not unusual for her to grow ginseng in the ground.

"What do other people's sweet potatoes look like?" Lin Aiping asked.

Yu Honglian frowned: "Other people's parents look like sweet potatoes, otherwise, would I be surprised and secretly bring this thing back?"

She was afraid that this thing would be like the mushrooms on the mountain, eating it would make people crazy, even if they didn't eat it themselves, would it be a good thing for others to know that they could grow this thing at home?

Lin Lin didn't care about these things: "Mom, you don't care what it looks like. The important thing is whether it can be eaten. If it can be eaten, I can swallow it even if it looks like a ginseng baby."

In addition to chestnut noodles, there are only chestnut noodles in the house. Lin Lin feels that she is about to eat chestnuts. If the food in front of her can be eaten, she doesn't mind whether it is sweet potatoes or radishes, as long as it is not chestnuts.

Lin Lin stared at the sweet potato and radish with sparkling eyes, eager to try: "Mom, let's try it?"

"Fuck off, try a fart." Yu Honglian scolded her: "How many lives do you have, people in their twenties, it doesn't matter at all."

I just graduated from high school, why am I only in my twenties, Lin Lin secretly complained.

"You child, why do you only want to eat." Lin Aiping scolded Lin Lin lightly, but to be honest, he was also quite moved. The water-red radish and sweet potato had a hint of purple, but this purple is not evil at all. Look at it It is very comfortable to wear, and people will be amazed how there is such a beautiful radish, and it exudes a faint fragrance. Lying on the ground, it feels like the most naked seduction, as if saying: Come and eat me, eat me... …

Lin Aiping swallowed unconsciously, and forced his eyes away from the radish.

He asked Yu Honglian: "Are all the things that grow in our field like this?"

"Oh, I don't know." Yu Honglian sat down, frowning: "I opened four or five baskets, all of which looked like this, afraid that others would run back if they saw me."

"Mom, did you just say what other people's sweet potatoes look like? Did you see it?" Lin Lin didn't believe it, and their family didn't do anything special, so they just planted it like this, at most, it was because of the rain or the sun. Maybe their sweet potatoes have mutated while other sweet potatoes are fine.

Yu Honglian was taken aback, she really hadn't seen it, the next door was the land of Lin Qun's family, Lin Qun's mother and father were working in the field at that time, she greeted them before going to the field, they were also digging sweet potatoes today, She didn't go up to look at it, just glanced at it.

Um?Thinking about it now, it seems that I didn't see anything. The sweet potatoes on the ground were blocked by Lin Qun's parents. I didn't think it was strange before, but now my daughter reminds me, maybe the sweet potatoes they planted are really the same as my own. !

Yu Honglian told Lin Aiping and Lin Lin about this suspicion, and Lin Aiping would not let them speak out. If the sweet potatoes that everyone planted changed, this matter cannot be hidden, and sooner or later they will know.

Lianhua Village can't hide things, and all the people who dug up sweet potatoes, their eyes dodge and their hearts are guilty, and when they are asked about the harvest in the field, they all hesitate and say nothing, so those who are more thoughtful become suspicious, and those who are strong in action I just went to dig my own and the neighbor’s land. Hey, I don’t know if I don’t dig. When I dig, I’m startled. Every household grows different sweet potatoes.

Yu Honglian's water-red radish and sweet potato are not the strangest ones. Some sweet potatoes grow in the field like charcoal, pitch-black; some are like old tree roots knotted together; Long strips are similar to yams; some are like purple potatoes; some people have grown sweet potatoes that look like sweet potatoes.

These "sweet potatoes" taste different, sweet, bitter, powdery, dregs, and tasteless, but they are not as big as the sweet potatoes grown by Lin Yang's family.

And it's because Lin Yang didn't dig out the biggest one in each basket in the ground. Now he only poured out the sweet potatoes that were knotted in the basket, and the ones that grew in the ground didn't move at all.

But the average sweet potato growing in the frame is the size of an earthen pot. Even if you don't count the big sweet potatoes in the ground, his family's harvest of "small sweet potatoes" is the most in the village.

The families that dug sweet potatoes in advance have tested whether the chickens and ducks raised at home can eat them. After everyone in the village has dug up the sweet potatoes, the chickens that have been fed sweet potatoes for more than a week seem to be fine.

Now every household in the village feeds a few chickens, not necessarily because they raise eggs and eat meat, the main reason is to try it out, after all, the weather is so weird now, and even familiar things need to be eaten by chickens Dare to give someone an entrance.

The people in the village didn't know why Wang Qianming and the others were so bold to eat the mushrooms on the mountain?

They didn't dare to try it themselves, but one day, after unknown mushrooms appeared in the village, they realized that mushrooms have hallucinogenic effects. As long as people see them, they will have the urge to eat them, especially when they are the first to discover If the person next to him hadn't stopped him in time, he might have become the second Wang Qianming.

Therefore, people in the village now try not to let themselves be left alone when they go out. In addition, as long as there are signs of mushrooms, they will not hesitate to set fire to them, absolutely preventing them from growing.

It’s okay for chickens to eat sweet potatoes, but there are a few sweet potatoes that chickens don’t even eat, and they can spit it out immediately if they put their heads down and eat them.

Those that are particularly disgusted by domestic animals are those sweet potatoes that are particularly black. They are really like black charcoal heads. When they are cut open, black juice flows out of them. I can not eat it.

However, everyone has also discovered that the color of the sweet potatoes grown in the field is related to the color of the sweet potato vines. The more normal the color, the lighter the color of the sweet potatoes grown. Lin Yang’s sweet potatoes are very light-colored.

But Lin Yang's sweet potatoes are not the best, at least in Lin Yang's opinion, their sweet potatoes are juicy, look like taro but taste like a clear and sweet fruit, similar to less sweet sugar cane and Yacon.

After tasting all the sweet potatoes in the village, in Lin Yang's mind, the purple sweet potatoes grown by Lin Chuntian's family were the most delicious. Round, steamed or baked, every bite is like eating ice cream, and then topped with a little honey or sugar water, the taste is absolutely amazing.

But their families don't see each other, no matter how greedy Lin Yang is, he will never come to exchange with them, hum!

In addition to Lin Chuntian's family, Lin Ye's sweet potatoes are also good. Their sweet potatoes are sour. Only his two children in the village have grown this taste. It's like sour lemons. Lin Yang replaced them with his own sweet sweet potatoes. A lot of sour sweet potatoes are ready to be squeezed and used as vinegar, or neutralized as a drink.

Knowing that sweet potatoes are safe to eat, the village communicated with each other. Everyone was tired of eating chestnuts, and the newly planted sweet potatoes just happened to be a different flavor to add to vegetables.

All kinds of radish sweet potatoes, sugarcane sweet potatoes, yam sweet potatoes, lemon sweet potatoes, sweet potato-flavored sweet potatoes... Fried, stewed, roasted and braised, you can eat them for almost a week without repeating the same.

However, it was a bit difficult for Lin Chen who dug out more than half of the charred sweet potatoes. No one else was willing to exchange them with their family, and they couldn't eat them. What's the use, as firewood?

Lin Chen complained to Lin Yang with a bitter face: "My sweet potatoes look like this, probably because they didn't get enough sun. Back then, everyone moved sweet potato baskets out of the air-raid shelter to bask in the sun. At that time, our family had no time because the little fish was sick. However, if photosynthesis is not enough, the leaves of the sweet potato vines will be very shallow, and after the sun is gone, moving out is equivalent to recoloring the sweet potato vines. The lighter the color, the easier it is for the sweet potato vines to be dyed purple and black. If there are too many colors, the sweet potatoes grown will not taste good, alas!"

Lin Yang quite agrees with his statement. It turns out that the sweet potatoes grown by people who take good care of them in the air-raid shelters will not taste bad, while those who have not moved their sweet potatoes out to bask in the sun for a long time just water casually to ensure The immortal ones are similar to the sweet potatoes grown by Lin Chen's family. They are either black and bitter, or purple and black. They are all scum, and no one dares to eat them.

Knowing the conditions affecting sweet potatoes, everyone decided to plant them next year to try to grow sweet potatoes with more flavors. Of course, it would be better if other crops could be grown.

After moving out of the air-raid shelter, most people in the village planted rice and other vegetables, but until now, almost two months, the ground has not even grown a root hair, and the dead trees that had sprouted on the surrounding mountains have not grown. The new leaves, with their pointed buds on top, are still.

The village now relies on the vegetables grown in pots in the air-raid shelter for vitamin supplements, but it has been almost finished since we moved out. However, because sweet potato vines are planted in the ground, everyone is not short of vegetables for the time being.

But now that the sweet potatoes have been dug up, of course, except for the ones that have dug up the ground in a particularly careless manner, almost every household has left a few sweet potatoes in the ground for food.

Lin Yang actually didn't dig any of them, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he decided to take the time to slowly dig out the big sweet potatoes and put them in the Great Wilderness World.

Now that the weather is cold and it is damp outside, everyone is not so diligent in going to the mountain temple, so Lin Yang's family has more dining tables.

Chili and eggplant, beans and cucumbers, cabbage and lettuce, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe... Anything that their family has saved before can basically be planted there.

And after the vegetable seedlings are transplanted into this world from there, they can actually be grown, but they are too eye-catching. If other people's homes can't grow things, theirs can grow them, and theirs can't grow them.

But there are still a few pots of onion and garlic in the house, because there are not many villages that grow this at home, so they raised a few more pots.

The twins are getting bigger and bigger now, and Lin Yang and Wenzhu often confess that they can't tell others what they eat at home, even Xiao Yu'er can't tell.

But in fact, they don't need to remind them, the twins have always protected food, and after the last fight, they are very sensitive to their own food, so how could they take the initiative to tell others.

Today is another foggy day. After breakfast, Lin Yang picked up his hoe and prepared to go out to dig big sweet potatoes. Fortunately, everyone lives scattered now and the visibility outside is low. Otherwise, other people would have to be shocked. Can a sweet potato be this big?

Lin Yang felt that he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply kept it out of sight.

Except for the 10 boxes of sweet potatoes left in the field for food, all the other sweet potato vines had been cut. However, Lin Yang took a closer look and found that the cut sweet potato vines had grown new leaves in the past two days.

This growth rate is too fast. If you don’t dig out the sweet potatoes in the field as soon as possible, maybe within a few days, the villagers will be surprised why sweet potatoes are growing in their fields again!

Asparagus thinks it's a pity: "I think the sweet potatoes in our family can grow again. It's a pity to dig them out now. If they grow one yard a month, each one will add another hundred catties."

"You don't apply for the Guinness Book of Records, and you can't post on Moments. Why are you so big!" Lin Yang answered without looking up, busy digging sweet potatoes.

Lin Yang is digging the ground with a hoe. He has to be very careful when digging sweet potatoes. Firstly, he is afraid that his voice will be too loud and cause others to suspect him. Second, he is moving himself too loudly. When he goes down with the hoe, he digs up the sweet potatoes. Yesterday, he accidentally hoeed and rotted. I bought a big sweet potato weighing more than 300 jins, but Wenzhu's heart ached, and I have been scolding him since yesterday.

"Hmph, why should I let others know, these are all grains, it will last for a month, each one will add a hundred catties, do you know how much more grains can be added?"

Asparagus was frightened by hunger since he was a child, so he was obsessed with harvesting more food. The sweet potatoes in his family are growing well now, but now he has to dig them out, which makes him twitch with heartache!

"Didn't you plant them in the wilderness again?" Lin Yang smiled. Yesterday when he sent the dug out big sweet potatoes there, he found that asparagus had opened a field next to the small forest and harvested their sweet potatoes. And buried them all in the ground, pretending he didn't know about it.

Asparagus blushed, he thought Lin Yang didn't know, but it's better to know, he was more confident: "Anyway, it's still left, it's better to bury it in the soil, by the way, since you don't object, then you dig here Sweet potatoes, I'll grow sweet potatoes over there."

The big sweet potatoes in their family had been dug out for several days, so he had to bury them in the ground quickly.

"What's the hurry, I'll go there with you after digging this." Lin Yang stopped him and didn't let him go alone. Although the distance is not far, who knows what will happen on the way.

Wen Zhu also understood that he just forgot because he was too anxious just now.

But now he can't go to the Great Wilderness World and can't just stand still, so he decided not to dig alone, but came directly to plan a sweet potato with Lin Yang.

While digging, Wenzhu stopped again, he patted his head, and said, "Hey, why do you think we are so stupid?" He was very excited, and looked at Lin Yang with bright eyes: "I only know how to put The sweet potatoes were reburied in the ground, why didn't I think of burying the sweet potato vines in the ground."

They use sweet potato vine cuttings to grow sweet potatoes here, and they cut so many sweet potato vines before, they might as well plant them all in the soil.

"Why do you grow so many sweet potatoes?" Lin Yang was speechless. This is too protective, and the sweet potato vines will not let go.

It's not that he didn't think of it before, but he felt it was completely unnecessary. Their family planted 53 baskets of sweet potatoes, which is not the largest. Just small sweet potatoes, each basket harvested about 100 catties. If you add large sweet potatoes, this time The harvest can be eaten for several years. If it is cut again, when will it be eaten? Will it be sweet potatoes every day in the future!He will be crazy.

"Don't worry about it!" Wen Zhu was trembling with excitement at the thought of the huge sweet potatoes all over the ground. He urged Lin Yang: "Hurry up, dig out this sweet potato quickly, and let's go to the Great Wilderness."

Lin Yang still wanted to persuade him, but Wenzhu quickly stopped him: "Stop talking, I don't need you to do it, I will plant it myself, and we have so many sweet potato vines, if you don't plant them in the ground, it will all be wasted ."

Knowing that Asparagus has made up his mind, Lin Yang still couldn't help but reply to him: "How could it be a waste, didn't Dahuang raise sheep, chickens, ducks and geese?"

Asparagus yelled at him: "You only raised a few, can you eat them all?"

The sweet potato vines from other people’s homes will never be wasted after they are taken back. The fresh ones are eaten as vegetables, and the stale ones will be dried or soaked in sour jars to become salty sauerkraut. Even if they eat sweet potato leaves, they always eat the tenderest tip. Let them eat sweet potato vines, unless they have no choice, otherwise they will never look at them.

What's more, there is no shortage of vegetables in their house now, and the fresher and more delicious fruits and vegetables are not heavy, so Lin Yang even despises these baskets of sweet potatoes and vines.

But let alone their people, even the few free-range chickens, ducks and geese seem to prefer fresh tender pastures, so don't expect them to consume sweet potato vines.

However, whether digging holes to bury sweet potatoes or cutting sweet potato vines is not an easy job, especially the land on the other side of the Great Wilderness World has never been planted. How about sitting at home and sleeping?"

"What are you doing for a rest, I'm almost bored to death." Wen Zhu didn't appreciate it at all. He used to be able to watch TV on the Internet to pass the world, but now there are only four people in his family. It's better to find something to do by yourself, I would rather be tired than face those two little bastards at home again.
