Chapter 458 458. Sorghum and sweet stalks
Guo Dong was so unwilling.
"I know that you haven't experienced my medical skills, so you don't believe it, right?"
Song Tan:…
No.
She thought expressionlessly: It’s totally unnecessary.
How much wine can be produced by planting just a little sorghum?
That's it, her grandfather has even sorted out what kind of sauce fragrance and what kind of strong fragrance... How can he have time to mess with some medicinal wine?
What's more, the function of medicinal wine is nothing more than health care. They can also achieve this effect at home for a long time.
Guo Dong sighed when he saw that she didn't speak.
However, she didn’t give up and still kept the bottle of medicine:
"Don't refuse yet! You don't have a partner yet, man, can I understand you?"
She winked: "I'll ask them when they come back... There's no harm in giving it a try, right? I'm serious about conditioning my body, not the kind of medicine in novels that will burn you out as soon as you take it..."
Song Tan:…
Having no other choice, she had no choice but to reach out and take the jar of wax pills.
Instead, Guo Dong asked again: "I heard that your grandpa is weaving straw mats. How much does it cost per bed? I'll buy one first."
Her air conditioner was shipped back, but the installation was delayed because of the rain. Today's appointment was full, so she had to wait until the day after tomorrow... She didn't even buy a fan on this hot day, and it was really hot at night.
Fortunately, the houses in the countryside are built tall and large, and are ventilated and cool. It is early July again, so it is not as difficult as in the city. It only lasts for two days, so I can hold on.
But straw mats are not a waste, there are still several months of summer left.
Song Tan didn't have any objections. He showed her the straw mat he had just brought and said, "It's tentatively priced at 999 per bed. If you want it, you can get free shipping."
Guo Dong:…
This time it was her turn to quickly take back her hand: "Thank you. I don't deserve it." She might as well borrow the fan first.
…
And in the field at the foot of Houshan Mountain, Qiaoqiao has started the live broadcast again.
“Children, Teacher Qiao Qiao will teach you how to chop sorghum today.”
“There are two acres of sorghum planted here. Grandpa said that when it is mature, it can be cut down to make wine.”
“It rained here a few days ago. We shouldn’t have cut sorghum today, but the sunshine here is very good and the wind is strong. Now there is no water.”
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and shook the sorghum stalk. Sure enough, there were no water drops.
【Good guy! There are more and more skills on resumes]
【In the previous section, you learned the theory, but where did you practice it? 】
【Sorghum, rice and water rice! This diabetic’s favorite! 】
【Sorghum noodles stir-fry! ! 】
Zhang Yanping just turned on his mobile phone to observe the barrage in the live broadcast room, and saw everyone's comments slipping to the food, which made him couldn't help but raise his head:
“Sorghum, rice and water rice, is it delicious?”
Xin Jun thought for a while: "It's okay - it's definitely not as delicious as rice, but you can still try it."
He was eager to try it: "I heard that sorghum stalks are very sweet. I want to try it later!"
"Really? Then I have to try it too." Zhang Yanping was also excited - isn't this like eating sugar cane? How beautiful it is to eat such sweet things in July!
His eyes roamed the row of sorghum in front of him, deciding to find the most handsome one later.
The two adults were working hard behind the scenes, but the kid Qiaoqiao was working very hard.
At this moment, I saw him reach out and grab the heavy sorghum ear, then select the sickle about 30 centimeters below the sorghum ear and pull it down -
Heavy red and densely packed sorghum ears were already in his hands.
“Children, have you seen it? It’s very simple. Just reach it with your hand and use the sickle to cut it.”
【This sorghum must be more than two meters long, right? Isn’t there that kind of dwarf sorghum now? Why not plant it? 】
【This seems to be Northeastern glutinous sorghum...good for making wine! 】
As he was talking, he saw that Qiao Qiao was already aiming at the next tree:
“However, today we have to take back all the sorghum stalks, so we won’t cut them from the head today, but from the roots.”
As he spoke, he held the sorghum stalk in his left hand and used the sickle in his right hand hard -
唰!
The whole sorghum tree fell down directly.
Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun heard the noise and looked over -
Sorghum stalks are a gift from God!
The two men excitedly held up their knives and neatly chopped off a section of sorghum stalk from behind.
Xin Jun calmly put on his gloves, broke off all the leaves, and threw them into a basket nearby.
Sorghum leaves can be fed to fish, and crushed sorghum leaves can be fed to chickens, ducks, and pigs.
The sorghum stalks themselves can be eaten as sugar cane - of course it is certainly not as sweet. They can also feed the pigs.
Tsk, it seems weird when I think about it...
The two of them selected the middle part, and with a few cuts, they had two sections of sorghum stalk each.
that is…
Xin Jun looked at the sorghum stalk in his hand and felt something was wrong. And Zhang Yanping had already tilted his head and started chewing -
Gnawing sorghum stalks is like chewing sugar cane. First gnaw off the skin and then chew it -
Hey, why isn’t it sweet?
He turned to look at Xin Jun.
Xin Jun thought for a while: "I also ate it when I was a child. Maybe my memory has a filter - in this way, you chew off the skin first, and then eat the core inside. After all, it is sorghum, and it is definitely not as sweet as sugar cane. I guess It’s just slightly sweet.”
Zhang Yanping thought for a while: It makes sense.
He then gnawed and pulled the sorghum stalk until only a thin section of milky white core was left inside. Then he took a bite and chewed again...
Soon, they were spit out like dregs.
"Your childhood filter is too outrageous. How can it have any sweetness? It doesn't even have much moisture."
Xin Jun stared at him for a while: "Well, since it's not sweet, I won't eat it."
Zhang Yanping:…
He looked at the remaining sorghum stalk in his hand, and then at the one that Xin Jun casually threw into the basket. He always felt that something was not right.
But he didn't think about it. He turned around and stared at the sorghum stalk again, wondering: Could it be that he didn't chew the middle part?
By this time, Qiao Qiao had already cut down many sorghum stalks. Seeing Zhang Yanping squatting on the ground, she couldn't help but wonder:
“Brother Yanping, why do you want to eat this? This unsweetened one belongs to Xiaozhu, so don’t eat it randomly.”
Then he pointed to a few sorghum trees in the corner that were thick and tall, about three or four meters tall:
“That one is the sweet pole.”
Zhang Yanping:…? !
The next moment, I saw Xin Jun walking over with a sickle in hand: "Okay! Qiao Qiao knows so much! I heard that you have also planted sorghum, and today the teacher is here to taste the fruits of your labor!"
"Hmm!" Qiao Qiao was really energetic: "Teacher, please eat slowly! Grandpa said these are specially reserved sweet stem seeds, which are sweeter than sugar cane."
Turning around to look at Zhang Yanping, who has a unique taste, Qiao Qiao sighed heavily:
"Brother Yanping! Don't eat it! This is really for pigs... Come on, let's chop the sorghum together. Grandpa said to dry it early. When the sorghum is harvested, he can still find time to use the sorghum ears to make brooms. Woolen cloth!"
Some content was added to yesterday’s leave application chapter. If you didn’t see it, you can check it out.
Sorghum stalk, here we call it Tianxuxu (that’s the pronunciation anyway, it’s also called Tiangan.)
Good night.
