Chapter 17 Section 17 Bread

Baogu is always planted on the edge of the sweet potato field. This has been the case for a long time. When the sweet potato vines are spreading everywhere, the Baogu will produce a small green leaf roll, like the tip of a canna leaf, and the leaf roll will gradually expand its diameter. Bell mouth, unfold two leaves, look at it in the morning, there will be a drop of dew on it, or after the rain, there will be a large drop of water in the leaf roll, like a gem. People in Zhangmuxi grow crops and pay attention to the distribution of sunlight. The peach tree in my house and the loquat tree I planted have cut branches because they cover the sunlight on other people's land, especially summer crops, which need strong sunlight.The sweet potato is a vine plant, which covers the entire ground, and the corn grows up, which does not cover much sunlight from the sweet potato, so they can live in harmony.The leaves of Baogu when he was young have the texture of bamboo leaves, especially like Ruozhu, which is fresh and lovely.

For a long time, I liked to wrap grain, and it was its stalk. I gnawed it as sugarcane, and sugarcane is called cane stalk, which is not in my family.Grain stalks are not as sweet as sugarcane, but slightly sweeter, not as sweet as sorghum stalks. The skin of sorghum stalks is easy to cut your mouth, and you feel worried when you chew it.The benefits of corn stalks can be imagined. When harvesting corn, I have to peel off the leaves of the corn stalks, cut off both ends, and carry them home happily.Another thing is to stick the corn-filled beard on the chin, and use it as a beard, like an old man.

There is the simplest way to eat corn. Put the tender corn under the steamer, pick up the steamed rice, peel off the corn, and eat the corn.I always feel that every grain of grain is a tooth, and the core of the grain is the gum, some of the roots are broken on it, and most of them are gnawed by the root. I wonder why it grows so neatly?Can't figure it out.I also like its jade-like luster, which is yellow and clear. I put some old bread grains in a dustpan set up on a high stool to dry. In the afternoon, the sun shines on it, and a ball of golden light shines on it. Under the dustpan, a white dog sleeps tiredly.The sun-dried breaded grains are rubbed down, boiled in salt water, dried in the sun, and can be eaten in pockets, but fried in oil, they are extremely crispy.

After eating, the surface of the ashes in the stove was cold, but the inside was still hot. Grab a handful of grains and scatter them.At this time, you must have a sharp eye and a quick hand to pick it up quickly. If you pick it up slowly, it will be muddled.Some corn grains are sprinkled on the place where the fire is hot, and the corn flowers cannot be jumped up, and a puff of corn paste smoke comes out, which smokes the ash of plants and trees black.Zhangmuxi does not eat bread grains as food, it is something to eat and play with. In winter, when you are roasting the fire cage, you can also put it in the fire cage in this way, and the cornflowers will pop out of the fire cage.The fire cage in Zhangmuxi is a round basket made of bamboo sticks. The bottom is crossed with two iron wires. Inside is a special soil bowl with a cover on the top. , a bamboo handle bent into a square, the old man's fire cage is large, and the child's fire cage is small.You can bring a fire cage to school, put it on the ground and put your feet on the fire cage during class.The fire cage is usually filled with charcoal, or burnt tea dry, and the surface is covered with a layer of plant ash.When get out of class is over, we use fire cages to get food, and put the grains in the same way, and bury them in the ashes, and some grain flowers pop out.Remember the time. There was a classmate who rang the class bell as soon as he buried the grains in the ashes of the fire cage. He hurriedly picked up the fire cage to attend class. I forgot what the teacher was talking about. I just remembered that he was talking about it. Go, bang!A cornflower popped out of the classmate's fire cage.The teacher looked at him angrily, spoke again, and slapped again. The teacher frowned and was too lazy to talk to him. He continued to talk, but there was a series of slapping sounds. The teacher couldn't bear it, so he rushed over and threw the classmate I carried the fire cage outside the classroom.This is a big lesson.
