Distant homesickness: I miss the sweet potato seedlings of the production team for half my life.

Being able to live an ordinary life in an ordinary day is the greatest happiness.

If your heart is simple, then the world is also simple.

In fact, after wallowing in the world of mortals for so many years, we can no longer be simple-minded people, nor can we return to the "good nature at the beginning of life" that everyone is attached to. ...

In rural autumn crops, the production team not only planted corn in a large area, but also planted some miscellaneous grains, such as sorghum and sweet potato. These are very practical crops, not only fruits can be used, but also straws are very valuable.

The function of sorghum is not only that straw can be used to build tin foil for houses. But what about sweet potatoes? In fact, the role of sweet potato is more than sorghum, so many villages will plant some or more sweet potatoes in spring and autumn.

Besides fruit, sweet potato seedlings are also good things.

Because the rain in summer and autumn is more diligent, sweet potato seedlings grow fast and climb everywhere on the ground, covering the ground tightly; Moreover, sweet potato seedlings will "take root" and breed small sweet potatoes.

Therefore, in farm work, there is a way called "turning over the ground to raise seedlings".

Every once in a while, pick up the sweet potato seedlings with a small stick and turn them around. Don't let the sweet potato seedlings grow too luxuriantly or take root again, otherwise the sweet potato seedlings on the main roots won't grow much.

When turning sweet potato seedlings, you should pinch some forks.

These tender sweet potato shoots were delicious in the countryside at that time.

Let's start with an earlier one. For several years, "recalling bitter experience and thinking sweet" has been shouted everywhere.

In fact, it was already bitter in the countryside at that time, and it was not sweet! But it says, "It is sweet to recall bitter experience", and rural areas should follow suit.

This time, it is difficult to break the old captain with low academic qualifications.

After several meetings, everyone was extremely bored.

One night, the old captain hung a dim lantern in the yard of the production team warehouse and called a meeting of all the production team members.

The man took off his broken cloth shoes, sat under his ass and shook a broken banana fan to drive away mosquitoes; Women, on the other hand, "buzz" at home with soles.

Captain, his old man shook his head for a long time, spitting, and several players next to him were spitting, moving his ass back and blocking the broken banana fan in his face.

But all of a sudden, the old captain "poof-",suddenly shut up and lowered his head to grope underground.

The member in front took the banana fan in front of him and asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you looking for?"

The old captain's dark face was purple, and Nuo Nuo said calmly, "My false teeth fell to the ground."

This time, the audience burst into laughter, and everyone hurriedly carried lanterns and found the old captain's dentures on the ground.

The old man picked up his false teeth, wiped his clothes, stuffed them into his mouth and said angrily, "The meeting is over."

The meeting failed, but the members laughed loudly.

On the way back, I stumbled and smeared each other, still saying, "Gee, this old man can spit out his dentures when he talks in a meeting ..."

After that, at every meeting, many members stared at the old captain's mouth that had been open all the time to see if his dentures would "fly" out again; I also figured out, once the denture pops up again, who will hit his head.

As for what his old man said, no one really cared.

The old captain was thirsty, and when he saw the members rolling their eyes and yawning, he obviously wanted to knock him to shut up.

The old captain was also boring, so he had a plan and said, "Let's not have a meeting to remember the bitter and sweet, but have a meal to remember the bitter and sweet."

I heard that there was food, and the members' heart and energy came, and they suddenly came to the spirit.

I stopped rolling my eyes, yawning and fanning, and asked around him, "What do you mean by' recalling the bitter experience'?"

The old captain said, "no, it's time to turn over the sweet potato seedlings." Everyone will bring some sweet potato seedlings back, and the production team will open a large pot of rice and take some steamed sweet potato seedlings from the warehouse to eat. "

At that time, although everyone ate sweet potato seedlings, it was said that they could still be steamed with white flour, and everyone's stomachs began to growl.

"This way, anyway, eat the production team, save the home, cost-effective! This is also a "bitter and sweet memory", killing two birds with one stone. "

Everyone rushes out to work with their careers in their pockets.

At noon, everyone brought back a big green sweet potato seedling.

The old captain has arranged several hard-working women in advance to set up a cauldron in the big yard in front of the production team's barn, wash it, and ask everyone to pick the leaves and vines on the tender sweet potato seedlings, wash them, chop them up casually and throw them into the big basin.

Sprinkle some white flour and salt, stir well, put handfuls on the steamer, cover it, and start steaming over high heat.

Sweet potato seedlings can't be steamed for too long, and they will bloom soon.

The smell of white flour and the fresh smell of sweet potato seedlings rolled into everyone's hungry insides in the steam, tempting greedy insects to climb into their throats.

"Everyone went home to get their bowls and came back to line up. Everyone has a bowl and everyone has a share. "

It suddenly occurred to me that since the "people's commune canteen" broke up, the production team had no bowls to eat and had to go back and get their own bowls.

Close to home, everyone comes back with a big bowl with two or three nails.

People who are far away from home will go back to get bowls in a panic.

Many bowls brought by members from home are shovels.

At that time, members lived frugally. Generally speaking, if anything is accidentally damaged, they will repair it and continue to use it.

At that time, there was also a craftsman who specialized in shoveling pots and bowls and went door to door to solicit business.

Whose water tank is broken, even if it is broken into eight petals, as long as it can be pieced together, the big tank can also be pieced together.

"Without Jin Gangzuan, there would be no porcelain works" refers to such craftsmen.

There is a drill pipe with a diamond bit in the shovel hand. When you need to punch a hole in the porcelain jar, put the drill bit on the porcelain jar, and there is a nail behind the drill pipe. The pot shovel took out a small wine glass and buckled it on the nail, pulling the bow wrapped around the drill pipe, and the drill bit would open a shallow hole in the porcelain jar.

Because there is a small wine glass on the nail, no matter how the drill turns, it won't hurt the hand of the cooker.

Later, someone smashed a bearing on the nail instead of a small wine glass, and the hole was hit more accurately.

The pot shovel just stopped making a shallow hole in the porcelain jar and then made other holes.

When all the holes were finished, a pile of shovels, large and small, poured out of the broken bag. Find a bigger shovel and hammer the ends of the shovel gently into the small hole.

In this way, a water tank full of shovels can be used continuously.

At that time, things like shovels and pots were already skilled craftsmen in the countryside.

Even large and small bowls and rice bowls can be put together with a small shovel, saving members a lot of money.

Rural people eat a lot and basically don't need small bowls. They all eat in a big bowl like a small pot.

Many sea bowls have been used for many years, handed down by ancestors, and the bowls are covered with mottled shovels.

When I eat sweet potato seedlings, almost every time I come back with a bowl, I am the last one.

There is only a little left on the steamer, or you can only pick some sticky noodles and leaves from the cloth of the steamer.

The most cost-effective thing is that there are several big boys at home, each of whom wolfs down a sea bowl; You can fill some more before you go home slowly.

At that time, several big boys at home ate wowotou and ate half a basket at a meal!

This kind of "recalling bitter experience and thinking sweet" meal saves half a basket of wowotou at home, and it is not cost-effective!

So, from time to time, someone asked the old captain, "When are we going to eat' recalling the bitter experience' again?"

The old captain sneered: "Even if the team steamed the rice of" remembering the bitter experience and thinking sweet "every day, it would not be enough to fill your wolf pups! There are plenty of sweet potato seedlings. Pick some at work and steam them when you come back. This is not stealing the team, let's go. "

The man murmured, "Sweet potato seedlings are delicious only when mixed with white flour. Who has steamed white noodles to eat? "

The captain pointed to the man's forehead and scolded, "There is only that little white flour in the warehouse of the production team, so don't worry about it!"

But after all, whenever it is necessary to convey the spirit of the superiors and "remember the painful experience", the members will complain: "Why do you want to have a meeting? Let's eat. "

When everyone was exhausted with a blank look and yawning, the old captain had to "show mercy outside the law" and then called everyone to have a "memory" meal to "convey" the spirit of his superiors.

But the members with bowls in the yard were basically thinking about the steamer and didn't pay much attention to what the old captain said.

In my impression, when I was young, I also ate this kind of "recalling the bitter and thinking sweet" meal many times in the production team.

Sometimes I really can't eat steamed buns, and my mother will steam some sweet potato seedlings to eat.

When you eat it, you will put a little old cotton oil, which is absolutely delicious.

After the solar term, the sweet potato seedlings are old and can't be eaten.

When the sweet potatoes are ripe, the seedlings of those sweet potatoes will gradually wither, and the production team will put them away to dry the "rations" of large animals.

Moreover, animals also like to eat sweet potato seedlings, saving a lot of feed.

Because I often ate sweet potato seedlings when I was a child, it was not until several years later that I changed this "bad habit".

"Historical Records Biography of Southwest Yi" records, "The king of Yunnan and the messenger of Han said: Who is bigger than Han?" Therefore, the southwest region left the initial impression of "arrogance" to future generations.

However, everyone who goes to Yunnan knows that Yunnan is actually a beautiful place.

Here, you can see the flowers blooming in front of the court and the clouds in the sky. ...

Life is a wandering journey, and it is God's arrangement to meet everyone.

Countless years later, I spent some time in Jianshui, a city in the southwest of China.

I live in the suburb of Jianshui, a place called Damaixi, and there is a sweet potato field behind the house.

I am not interested in sweet potatoes, but I have been staring at green sweet potato seedlings.

Finally, one day I couldn't help it. In the afternoon, when no one was around, I jumped out of the wall and picked a bunch of sweet potato seedlings in the sweet potato field, steaming them beautifully.

When the locals saw it, they exclaimed, "Bang, Teacher Zhang, how do you eat this?"

While swallowing, I vaguely said: "Many melons and vines in Yunnan can be eaten, but sweet potatoes and vines can't be eaten!"

"In the stage of planting melons, melons are ripe. Pick a melon to make it good, pick another melon to make it thin, pick it three times, and then take it home. "

When I chanted Li Xian's Huangtaiqu and turned to fill another bowl of steamed melons and vines, the local couldn't understand what I was mumbling. He muttered, "Bang, do you know what to say? We don't eat rice seedlings here, so how can we eat that incense? Bang bang-"

Say that finish, he turned and left.

Since then, I have never had a chance to eat sweet potato seedlings.

The sweet potato seedling I ate in Jianshui is the real "recalling the bitter experience" rice.

Yunnan was very blue at that time.

There is pure blue sky on the plateau, and there are red smiling faces on the plateau; There are clear springs under the blue sky and bright eyes under the blue sky.

One hundred thousand red dust, three thousand weak water.

People are struggling in the tumbling world of mortals, just seeking a home and the company of a relative. ...

I advise you to put aside yesterday's worries, always cultivate, sweat and raise beauty, and make wine with a drop of rice!

I have walked many roads and bridges. How many times have I seen the clouds and drunk many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person at the right age.
