Compared with later generations who mostly used mechanized production methods to process sweet potato flour, Xu Zhengdao, who returned to the 1980s, wanted to experience the taste of hand-made sweet potato flour. For him, this is also a new experience and attempt.

Looking at the cleaned sweet potatoes placed in the basin, Xu Zhengdao said with emotion: "If there is a grinder, making sweet potato powder can save a lot of time. But nowadays, it is very troublesome to assemble a grinder.

Let’s grind it by hand!”

He placed the powder wiping board he bought from the street on the bucket he also bought, and then rubbed the washed sweet potatoes vigorously. This process alone took a lot of time, but fortunately, he seemed to have no shortage of time.

.

From the sweet potatoes that were excavated, he specially selected those that were large and pink. Even though the process of rubbing the sweet potatoes was very troublesome, Xu Zhengdao still had a lot of fun, muttering from time to time: "Friction, friction, the devil's pace!"

After the washed sweet potatoes were all ground into powder, he found a new filter cloth and poured the sweet potato powder mixed with water into the filter cloth to filter. Filter it first, then open the faucet and continue rinsing with clean water.

Ground sweet potato powder.

Xu Zhengdao also packed the washed and filtered sweet potato residue in separate wooden barrels. These seemingly worthless things are also good things in rural areas. Some people even use sweet potato residue to make food, but most of them use it to feed pigs.

It just so happened that many people in the village raised pigs. He made the sweet potato residue left over from making sweet potato powder. I believe that any villager who raises pigs would be happy if he gave it to the sweet potato residue. Although the sweet potato residue can also be used to make wine, it is a pity that Xu Zhengdao cannot.

Unlike other villagers who have to constantly pump water, rinse and filter to make sweet potato powder, the processing point is directly placed under the faucet, which naturally saves a lot of work. Once the ground sweet potato powder is all washed and filtered, the rest is waiting for the sweet potatoes.

The powder settles naturally.

Looking at the sweet potato liquid that was cleaned and filtered from the three large barrels, Xu Zhengdao said with great anticipation: "Nearly two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, and I don't know how much sweet potato flour can be made in the end. We won't know how much until we take out the wet flour tomorrow and dry it in the sun.

”

Although he knew that sweet potato flour could be made into vermicelli, Xu Zhengdao felt that he really didn't know how to steam sweet potato vermicelli. Now, making sweet potato vermicelli by hand is more to experience life and see if he can make sweet potato vermicelli.

If he really wanted to eat sweet potato vermicelli, it would be more convenient to buy it on the street. He would rather add sugar to the dried sweet potato vermicelli and drink it directly with boiled water. Moreover, the sweet potato vermicelli produced is also good as a gift.

Where are the gifts!

After making sweet potato flour and looking at the two large buckets of sweet potato residue, Xu Zhengdao thought for a while and came to Zhong Younian's house with the sweet potato residue. Seeing Xu Zhengdao coming to the door carrying something, Zhong Younian was also very surprised and said: "Ah

Right, what did you pick?"

"Uncle Zhong, I just made some sweet potato flour at home. These are filtered sweet potato residues. I heard from Erniu that your family has four pigs. Do you think they will eat the sweet potato residue? If you throw it away, it will be a bit of a waste."

"This is a good thing, it can be thrown away. This thing was a good thing to fill my stomach when I was young! You are the same, why are you picking it out yourself? Come here and tell me, I asked Er Niu's father to pick it out.

That’s it.”

"It's okay! It's only a few steps away. Stop by and take a look. You should be fine lately, right?"

"It's nothing! They don't let me do heavy work, so I can only stay at home and take care of my baby. I'm so busy!"

After drinking the Chinese medicine prescribed by Xu Zhengdao, Zhong Younian did feel much better. However, Xu Zhengdao explained that it would be best to let him take care of himself for two years. After two years, we will see if the situation has improved. In short, he still has to work hard.

Don't do it.

Anyway, his children are grown up, and he even has grandchildren. Staying home and watching the children do housework can also help the family a lot. Otherwise, his family would not dare to raise four pigs at once, and the pig food alone would be enough.

I have a headache!

When he learned that Xu Zhengdao had specially sent sweet potato noodles from home, the Zhong family also held him back and refused to let him go. They forced him to have lunch at the Zhong family. As for giving money for sweet potato dregs, the Zhong family also knew that this matter should not be mentioned, so they brought it up.

Xu Zhengdao won’t want it either.

Instead, it was a meal to express his gratitude. Unable to shirk it, Xu Zhengdao could only stay at the Zhong family for a meal. Through the meal, he also confirmed the Zhong family's decision to raise more pigs.

He even said directly: "Uncle Zhong, I believe you have all heard that the government plans to implement the policy of allocating farmland to households. Poultry breeding will probably be completely liberalized by then. So, if you really want to increase your income, you can

You can raise more pigs."

"Azheng, can our village also distribute farmland to each household?"

"Yes! And I dare say that this matter will probably happen in the next year or so. Although I have not gone to the fields to do farm work, I can see that everyone works together, and most of the time they are lazy when they can. What can be achieved by farming like this?

Where’s the good harvest?

And in those villages that implement farm distribution to each household, I heard that grain production has increased a lot. Because everyone knows that the more grain grown in the fields, the more grain will be left after paying the public grain, and there will be no need to worry about it in the future.

Not enough to eat.

But what should we do if there is too much food and the price will not be high? Therefore, the country also advocates that every household raise more poultry. If you raise more chickens and ducks at home, not only can you eat meat when you grow up, at least you can eat more eggs.

Right?

Another thing is to raise more pigs. If you want the pigs to grow fat quickly, feed them mixed with whole grains and bran, and they will definitely grow faster. It seems like a waste of food. But selling the pigs that have been raised is not a waste of money.

?"

When it comes to moving to Kangmin Village, which villager has the best relationship now, it must be the Zhong Younian family who has the most contact. In Xu Zhengdao’s view, Zhong Younian’s three sons are all hard-working, but the family situation is still poor.

Ring.

If the village really distributes farmland to each household, the difficulties his family is currently facing will surely change soon. Hard work may not necessarily make you rich, but you will definitely not get rich if you are lazy. I would like to take this opportunity to remind the Zhong family.

Make a good relationship.

After listening to his story, Zhong Jianguo, the eldest son of Zhong, also said directly: "Azheng, can our village really divide the fields into households?"

"Yes! And it will be very soon, either next year or the year after. The longer it is delayed, the more the farmers will suffer. The higher-ups will definitely consider it. We are also the common people at the feet of the capital. Why won't the higher-ups consider it?"

"Then do you think you can make money by farming alone?"

For Zhong Jianguo, although he is married, he lives with his father and two younger brothers who are also adults. At present, the second brother and the third brother are not married yet. It is not that the two younger brothers have poor character or appearance, but that the family

Too poor.

The family is crowded under one roof, and his father has a disease that requires medication. Who among the people who know the situation of the Zhong family is willing to marry their daughter over? Because of this, Zhong Jianguo hopes to make more money than anyone else.

But what surprised him was that in the face of his straightforward inquiry, Xu Zhengdao shook his head and said: "Even if the fields are divided into households, given the conditions in our village, if we only rely on digging food in the fields, I am afraid that at most we can get enough food and clothing.

It’s not easy to make money.

I have an idea, it depends on whether you dare to take a gamble. If you dare, I will build a larger pig house next to your house two years ago. Then raise a boar and four sows, and expand the scale of pig farming next year.

Learn how to prepare pig feed again.

Even with the land area in our village, the average per capita share is not that much. If your family wants to cultivate its own land, you won’t need so many people. As for the pigs you raise, I will help you find a market and the price will be absolutely fair. I think,

Raising pigs has a better future than farming."

"It will cost a lot of money to build a pig house and buy boars and sows!"

"If I can find someone to lend you money to build a pig house to buy breeding pigs, and then pay you back after you raise the pigs, are you willing to take a gamble? If you don't trust others, then you can always trust me, right?

I can also lend you money first."
