Chapter 262 Sweet Potato Flour

In the middle of winter, being wrapped in a quilt, sleeping until you wake up naturally, and then holding your wife in bed for a long time, this should be what everyone wants most.

But the brat is so annoying!

Ye Yaodong was sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt wet in the Midi Lake. The water on his body was still a little warm...

When he woke up, he felt that his chest was being pressed, and a large area was wet. When he opened the quilt, he saw that the brat had his feet on his chest, his crotch was wet, and he was sleeping soundly.

"Grass……"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xiuqing was lying aside and woke up when she heard the noise. She saw two little feet on his chest and a water stain.

"My son peed?"

"This brat peed on my chest!"

Ye Yaodong had a wrinkled face. If he hadn't been afraid that his wife would be kicked in the stomach by the two children's messy sleeping position, he would not lie down with them to sleep.

Brat, you peed all over him early in the morning.

At this time, Ye Chengyang seemed to feel a little cold without a quilt covering him. He actually turned over, sticking his buttocks towards the couple, and then continued sleeping. Ye Yaodong wanted to slap him.

"Can this guy still sleep? He doesn't feel uncomfortable..."

He wrinkled his face, sat up, and was about to change clothes, but he heard his wife say, "Fortunately, I didn't wet the bed."

"I've become a pee mat."

"You're just wet, just wipe it off and it'll be fine. If the bed is wet, what should we sleep at night?"

Lin Xiuqing patted her youngest son's butt as she spoke, and then took off his pants for him. At this time, he also woke up, rubbing his eyes sleepily and calling for mother.

"You know you wet the bed?"

He suddenly widened his eyes and winced, then he got into bed and hid, and then a voice came out from inside with a sweet voice, "You didn't wet the bed! You can't spank me!"

"Should I show you your pants? Do you think I can't hit you if I hide?"

"Can't hit! Can't hit me!"

At this time, Ye Chenghu was also woken up, "Yangyang wet the bed? Mom, let me help you pull him out."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Good brother!"

"Smelly brother~"

"Stop it……"

It was only 7 o'clock, and he was already struggling to get up. He didn't have to lie down anymore, so he just went to dig sweet potatoes and pull radishes in the field with a hoe.

"Little ones, come to work!"

With just a shout, Ye Chenghai ran out of the house in a hurry, followed by a bunch of others.

"Third uncle, what are you doing?"

"Do you want to eat the roasted sweet potato?"

"eat!"

"Then come and give *** a job."

"But I..."

"It's time to have breakfast, you know? Where are you going to die?"

"You are not so diligent when I ask you to eat. Your uncle is running faster than a rabbit when he shouts. Come back to me and eat. After you eat, go to school as soon as possible..."

After Sister-in-law Ye shouted at the door, Second Sister-in-law Ye scolded her again.

A group of children came and ran away quickly, leaving only two of my own family still squatting there.

He patted both heads and said, "You guys are still reliable. Work harder later and I'll roast sweet potatoes for you at noon!"

The two little chickens nodded like they were pecking at rice, "Dad, we must work hard!"

Because her children were not in school, Lin Xiuqing also cooked it later. The rice was just put into the pot at this time. After boiling for a while, she stirred it with a spatula a few times, then left it to simmer and helped collect the sweet potatoes.

I saw two children squatting there and picking up sweet potatoes, playing very enthusiastically. The mud on their hands was stained everywhere on their bodies and faces, and they had a headache.

"You go and pull the carrots over there, I don't want you here."

"Okay, I like pulling radishes the most."

Ye Chenghai was eating in the room, but he even brought out his rice bowl, "Uncle Third, can I discuss something with you?"

"Not negotiable!"

Ye Chenghai bit his kuaizi and glared, "I haven't even said anything yet."

"You must have asked me to bake an extra sweet potato and leave it for you to eat after school."

"Hehe, the one who knows me is my third uncle."

"You're not working, why should I feed you? Or you can stop going in the morning and come to the fields with me, and I'll roast a sweet potato for you."

"That won't work. How can you bribe me with a sweet potato? My mother will beat me to death."

"You can't read anyway."

"Only if you tell my mother not to hit me."

"So a sweet potato can still bribe you?"

Ye Chenghai stared at him and looked at him depressedly. Ye Yaodong laughed loudly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you turn around and look, your mother has already come out with the whip."

Ye Chenghai turned his head instantly and saw that his mother was walking down the steps with a whip. He quickly poured the little porridge left in the bowl into his mouth and ran away immediately.

"Mom... I've already finished eating... Ah... don't hit... I've really finished eating... really..."

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "Really, if you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles."

"Who asked you to tease him all day long? Even if you pick a sweet potato, you have to call him."

"Isn't he also running very actively? There is strength in numbers. You can't underestimate child labor. You have to make the best use of everything."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him. He was really out of shape and didn't bother to tell him that he just knew how to work.

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "Don't squat for too long, go and put out the porridge to cool down, and I'll do it."

"Be bored for a while, let me help you work faster. Why...it's okay to abuse child labor, but you can't bear to abuse pregnant women."

"That's right, if the child is born to collect debts, the wife will feel pain."

Lin Xiuqing was a little happy after being coaxed by him, but she pursed her lips and smiled secretly, not laughing. In fact, the raised corners of her mouth and the look of suppressing a smile had long been exposed.

"Just smile when you're happy. I know you're happy."

She turned her head and raised the corners of her mouth, glaring at him with an angry look and a smile, "I'll go and make the porridge cool."

Ye Yaodong grinned and continued to swing the hoe, feeling that life was pretty good now and there was hope.

Lin Xiuqing went in for a short while and then came out, only to see her youngest son holding a carrot and somersaulting backwards due to excessive force.

Then he threw the radish aside and continued to pull out another one, only to find another one squatting on the ground...

She barely looked at him. She quickly walked forward and took him aside. "You are almost out of clothes to change, do you know?"

Ye Chengyang stared innocently.

Lin Xiuqing had a big head and stared at Ye Yaodong not far away, "Why don't you look at me?"

"What do you think? I'm hoeing sweet potatoes. If anyone has nothing to do, keep staring at him. Just take a few glances occasionally and it's fine. They're all going to be dirty anyway. Just leave him alone and don't climb into bed." Ye Yaodong didn't care. road

"One, two or three of them are so careless..."

"It will be clean after a few pats!"

Lin Xiuqing: "..."

Heartbroken!

"Otherwise, if I change it later, I'll be the same again at night, no matter what."

Seeing how dirty her little son was, she gave up on herself and didn't want to care anymore. She let go and let him play as he pleased, "Go, go, go..."

Ye Chengyang was so happy that he ran to pull out the carrots again, but he still knew how to carefully peek at his mother's reaction. She didn't curse anyone, so he started with peace of mind.

Ye Yaodong waved his hoe and said, "What are you going to do with these sweet potatoes?"

"Let's see if my mother has made sweet potato flour this year. If so, let's not make it. We can just roll it all into shreds, dry it and store it. This will save you the trouble. Making sweet potato flour is too laborious."

"Let's dry some dried sweet potatoes for you and the two children to eat as snacks."

"You want to eat it yourself?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I, a grown man, like to eat these little things?"

"If you have free time, you can do whatever you want."

"no problem."

The couple hoeed and picked up, and after hoeing six baskets, they stopped temporarily and planned to go to eat. The two little ones were also very good at pulling out two rows of radishes, and their little faces turned red from playing.

I was extremely serious about eating today. I cooked a whole bowl of porridge quickly without anyone urging me. As soon as I finished eating, I immediately slid down and ran to pull radishes in the field next to me.

Ye Yaodong finished hoeing all the sweet potatoes before going up to the old house. When he went there, he saw the house was in full swing. Several women in the family were washing sweet potatoes. His father was stuffing sweet potatoes into the opening on the top of the grinder nearby. People were standing around. Many neighbors watched.

He rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday that we were going to make sweet potato starch? Go and call the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law over to help."

"No, we're too busy, so we don't have much. We'll do half of it and leave the other half to dry."

When Father Ye saw him reaching out to help, he gave him the job of chopping. He took the mashed sweet potatoes aside, added water, and stirred them with a stick.

Ye Mu also freed up her hands to prepare the filter screen and filter rack, and put them up on top of the large water tank used to hold filtered water.

Then Father Ye poured a few ladles of the mixed sweet potato pulp into the filter. Mother Ye fiddled with the filter rack to let the pulp inside filter into the large tank, and squeezed out the remaining residue with her hands. .

The filtered water will take about 12 hours to settle, and then the next day, pour out the water, add water, and then soak and settle.

Repeat three or four times to rinse away the impurities inside, then take out the sediment and dry it in the sun to make sweet potato flour.

Sweet potatoes with red hearts are not as good as sweet potatoes with white hearts, but they are delicious.

The process is a bit laborious, but it is authentic farm-made sweet potato flour, and it is also very convenient to make vermicelli.

Ye Yaodong was busy working in full swing, but the women washing sweet potato starch beside him couldn't stop praising him.

"I didn't expect that A Dong would change as soon as he said..."

"Who says it's not the case? In the past few months, I have grown up all of a sudden, become more capable, bought a big boat, and caught so many good goods..."

"Suddenly, I became diligent, and I also knew how to help the family with work. I became successful. They said that I would become the first ten thousand-yuan household in our village. Lixiang almost woke up laughing in her dreams..."

"I used to scold you every day, three times a day, but suddenly I got better. How did I get better?"

While they were talking, they asked the person involved without saying anything, "Ah Dong, why did you suddenly become enlightened?"

"It just happened all of a sudden. This is not just helping the family a little bit. I feel like going to sea is quite interesting."

"It's also interesting...we seasiders have no choice but to go to the sea to make a living..."

Another good-hearted woman asked: "I heard that you are going to become a household with ten thousand yuan, is it true?"

"Nonsense, I'm still only 9,900 yuan short of being able to live in a household worth 10,000 yuan." He wiped the sweat from his forehead. These women really didn't notice.

"You are joking, how is it possible? It doesn't matter if you tell us..."

"Aunt Chunhua, why don't you lend me nine thousand yuan and let me be published in a newspaper and become famous across the country?"

"Scared...are you kidding me..."

"You've already made a joke to me, why don't I tell you a few words?"

"Slippery..."

Mother Ye smiled and said, "It's all just rumors. I've only heard that a pig-raising household has a household worth ten thousand yuan, but I've never heard of a village that fished and raised a household worth ten thousand yuan..."

Ye Yaodong poured the remaining half of the basket of washed sweet potatoes into the top opening of the grinder, then patted his butt and let it go. These women are so eloquent that they cannot see but understand.
