Chapter 190: Summer Harvest 2
The production team specially arranged an open space to put the dug out sweet potatoes here for sorting.
There will be a lot of dirt on the sweet potatoes dug out of the ground. Before storing, the dirt on the top must be removed, but it does not need to be washed with water, as long as it is almost clean.
For storage or delivery, sweet potatoes will be selected for larger and plump ones.
Those sweet potatoes that are particularly small, or that have been dug up, and those that are already rotten are not stored or used for food delivery.
There is also some damage on the surface, cut off with a knife, and the remaining good part can also be eaten.
For those small or damaged sweet potatoes, Liu Gensheng distributed them directly to the production team, and each household received a certain amount back.
The entire production team has planted a lot of sweet potatoes. From digging to sorting and storing, it takes a lot of effort and time, so these few days have been very busy.
As for rice grains, not to mention, there are more busy projects.
First it has to be harvested, then it has to be threshed, then dried, and then bagged when it is dried.
Although busy is a bit busy, the big guys are still smiling with a bumper harvest.
I heard that many places across the country have suffered from natural disasters this year, and many places may not even be able to hand in public food, let alone what food can be distributed.
Therefore, many people starved to death in many places.
Their influence here is relatively small, and the common people are still very content to have such a bumper harvest.
No matter what, if you have food, you don't have to worry about starving to death, you can survive.
Even if you are a little tired and busy, as long as you have food to eat, you will be very satisfied.
After the busy work in the morning, everyone at noon was different from usual. They shortened the rest time. Every household brought some food in advance, and continued to work after the lunch.
The Zhao family also brought out some food.
The big guys eat together, Zhao Xiulan can't prepare too much food, and the things in the space can't be taken out to eat casually, just like everyone else, eat some coarse grains and boiled vegetables.
It's unpalatable, but it fills the stomach.
Zhao Xiulan was not used to eating. She only ate something like this at noon, so she probably didn't have much energy in the afternoon.
Fortunately, Grandma Jiang prepared lunch in advance and gave it to Zhao Xiulan. As before, the rice was covered with ordinary vegetables, but a few pieces of meat were added underneath.
Before the wild boars were eaten, Grandma Jiang specially made a snack for Zhao Xiulan and Jiang Cheng, fearing that these two children were too tired and could not eat well, so naturally they didn't have much energy to work.
Originally, the food at home was not very good, but because Grandma Jiang helped to add meals, the food was not bad.
When the work was done at night, under the distribution of the captain, the incomplete and smaller sweet potatoes were given to the production team. Each family received about three or four pounds.
Although it's not much, it's a little bit of food, and I can take it back to cushion my stomach.
The newly dug sweet potatoes are very sweet, and they are very good whether they are roasted or steamed.
When we go back to distribute the food, each household will be able to distribute a lot of sweet potatoes. The ones distributed to everyone today are not included in the distribution of the food, just try it first.
For the sweet potatoes that can be divided back, some people eat them directly as snacks, and some also take out part of them to make sweet potato flour.
Zhao Xiulan's family has done it before, but in recent years, it was too troublesome, so they didn't do it. In addition, there are two lazy people in the family who don't work very much to earn work points. The food distributed every year is barely enough to eat, so naturally there is no Take out the excess sweet potatoes to make sweet potato flour.
