It’s finally potato harvest time.
Villagers in Qianhua Village rushed to the fields to dig potatoes.
They were astonished when they dug out the potatoes one by one with the dark soil attached to them.
This potato yields so much.
If you calculate it carefully, the yield should be much higher than that of growing sorghum or wheat.
Moreover, the planting cycle of potatoes is obviously shorter, so there is basically no need to worry about planting one in the ground.
Potatoes are cold and drought tolerant, which is incredible compared to other delicate crops.
Old man He was obviously the happiest person.
He had previously defied public opinion and asked to plant some potatoes instead.
At that time, my mother-in-law and son were not very optimistic about it, but now the old man He has to have a good time.
He put the potatoes dug out of the ground into sacks one by one, and carried them home one by one with his boys.
There are many ways to prepare potatoes.
In addition to the vinegar-sweet potato shreds introduced by the director before, the most commonly used one is steamed mashed potatoes.
It is said that the steamed mashed potatoes are very delicious and can be eaten as a staple food.
Old man He couldn't wait to have a taste.
He asked his mother-in-law to take out some potatoes, wash them and peel them.
There is no technical content in steaming potatoes.
According to the director, the steamed mashed potatoes are so soft that they melt in your mouth.
Old Man He is still looking forward to this.
He tasted the shredded potatoes and they were crispy.
He is looking forward to the different tastes.
He asked his mother-in-law to put the potatoes in a pot to steam them, while he walked around the stove, stopping from time to time to look at the pot.
"I told you, daddy, these potatoes can really be steamed into puree."
Seeing the yellow-faced woman asking this, Old Man He frowned and said, "It's not that the inside is long, but the taste of the steamed mashed potatoes is very soft, even a toothless old lady can eat it."
"Ah, how can you be so evil?"
"Humph, you'll find out soon."
Old Man He exhaled and said, "If it's really delicious, our family will have to eat potatoes at least once a day."
Old Man He thought that his family would eat potatoes and save all the rice and noodles to sell, so that he could save a lot of money and marry his son in the future.
He didn't have many pursuits in his life, he just wanted to watch his son marry a wife and give him a fat grandson.
The old He family has been passed down for three generations, and in his generation there is only He Daniu.
He didn't want any accidents to happen, so that he wouldn't be able to explain to his ancestors even if he went underground.
It's best to have more sons, so that Lao He's family will be prosperous and he won't have to worry about cutting off the incense in the future.
In the past, he did not dare to ask his son to have more children.
It’s not easy to raise children these days.
More children means more mouths.
One child can still live tightly, but if there are a few more, the whole family will not be able to drink the northwest wind.
But now the situation is completely different.
Facts have proved that potatoes are indeed very productive, and they are very filling after eating them.
The most important thing is that they will not be unable to poop out like Guanyin soil after eating.
Old Man He felt that as long as he devoted more than half of his land to growing potatoes, it would be enough to feed his family.
There is a way to live rich and rich, and a way to live poor and poor.
As long as people like him can have enough to eat and not starve to death, it is the greatest joy.
As for literacy and reading, Old Man He didn't dare to ask for it.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
Don’t act like horses and oxen with your children and grandchildren.

If the younger generation really makes a difference, he, as the elder, will naturally feel very happy and his face will be bright.
But he would not deliberately ask for anything.
After all, he also knew that it was not easy for people like them to live, and it was too difficult to get ahead.
"Master, how long does it take to steam this?"
His mother-in-law's voice pulled Old Man He back.
"Well, I'm thinking about steaming it for half an hour and taking a look."
Old Man He had never steamed mashed potatoes before, so he had to cross the river by feeling for the stones.
"Okay, let's steam it for half an hour first."
When people are waiting anxiously, they always feel that time passes very slowly.
Old man He is no exception.
After finally waiting for half an hour, he urged his mother-in-law to start cooking.
After taking out the plate with potatoes, Old He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
At this time, the potatoes had been steamed until they were as soft as mud.
When Old Man He tasted them, his eyes lit up.
"It smells so good, my dear, come and have a taste."
Mr.
He Liu doubtfully picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The moment the mashed potatoes touched his tongue, his whole pores seemed to open.
Wow, it smells so good Everything she had eaten before combined was not as delicious as mashed potatoes.
The steamed buns are so hard that they bite your teeth, so you often have to soak them in hot water before eating them.
But this mashed potato melts in your mouth, and as the chef said, even a toothless old lady can eat it.
It's a pity that my mother left early, otherwise she would have served the mashed potatoes to my mother's mouth as a filial piety.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious.
Master, let's steam it a little more."
Mrs.
He Liu was weeping as she put the mashed potatoes into her mouth, but Old Man He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Look at your potential.
This potato is here, and it doesn't have wings or legs.
How can it be possible to do it on its own?"
If you can't run away, you can eat it every day, every meal, and I'll make sure you have enough.
Now, I'm going to go find the village chief and report to him that we need to increase the number of potatoes we plant in the future."
"Ah, this kind of thing needs to be reported to the mayor."
He Liu's mouth was as big as a goose egg, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Woman, you really have long hair and short knowledge.
If you think this mashed potato is delicious, don't others think it is not?
Why don't you go report it to the manager now?
If someone else reports it in the future, tell him and see if the manager will take care of it first.
Whose family?"
Madam He Liu suddenly understood, nodded suddenly and said: "That makes sense.
Master, why don't you go quickly?
If you go late, it will be too late."
He Liu seemed very excited as the matter concerned personal interests.
Old Man He said proudly: "Well, I'll go right away.
You can also give your son a taste of the mashed potatoes.
Don't just think about eating it yourself."
He Liu glared at him fiercely and said, "What are you talking about?

That's my son too.
I can forget about my son if there are good things."
"That's good, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Old man He didn't bother to argue with the yellow-faced woman, so he walked towards the courtyard gate.
After leaving the yard, he walked towards the entrance of the village.
Along the way, he saw many people rushing towards the entrance of the village, and he felt a little unsure. kindness Could it be that these people also went to report to the village chief?
Did you respond so quickly?
Old man He didn't want to fall behind others, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later.
Only if you go early can you leave a deeper impression on the head
