Stealing peas when I was a kid

Stealing peas as a child

Stealing peas as a child. Everyone has done bad things when they were young. Children are born to be naughty bags. When we were young, we often Listening to stories in some books, I learned a lot of principles. Now let’s learn about stealing peas when we were young to enrich our knowledge. The story of stealing peas when I was a child 1

No matter how old you are, childhood memories are always indelible and you will always think of them. I have been going through more than 40 years, but every time it is wheat harvest time, I can't help but think of my childhood when I went with my friends to steal pea corners in the wheat field of the production team.

Although you can see green beans in the market today, the taste is not quite the same as the beans I stole when I was a kid. At that time, the production team planted large tracts of wheat, and the team always interplanted peas in the wheat fields. Of course, it was just a patch, not a lot. When the wheat is about to turn yellow, the peas are also full, but very green. At this time, the beans are tender and delicious, fragrant and sweet. Often, several children would sneak into the wheat field with their parents or teachers on their backs, squatting or simply crawling, picking pea corners with their little hands. They were inevitably afraid of being discovered by the person guarding the pea corners. After filling the small pockets on my clothes, I quickly ran out of the wheat field. It was fine once we left the Pea Corner. We all walked together and ate the stolen "trophies" freely. The taste was like eating elixir.

The production team interplants peas in the field, which is a rare thing. The peas are mixed into the flour, and the steamed buns are brown. It is not easy to eat such steamed buns. At that time, whenever someone farted, people knew that he or she must have eaten steamed pea buns or pea noodles. In the summer, the team will send someone to take care of it. Care is all about care, but when they are dozing off, some members of the commune will get into the wheat fields and steal pea corners; for the children, the people who guard the wheat fields are relatively lenient. If the guard discovers it, he usually shouts loudly a few times, often to scare him. After hearing the sound, the little friend will run away, wishing he could use all his strength to suck the baby. To be a little exaggerated, I was able to run 5,000 meters later in high school, and it all had something to do with that.

Peas are best eaten when they are green and tender. Use your hands to separate the bean skin from the slits, and five or six tender small pea pieces will appear in front of you. Put them into your mouth at once. They are sweet and tender. The taste is really difficult to express in words. . The skin of snap peas can also be eaten, but the skin of snap beans cannot be eaten directly. The top layer of thin skin must be slowly torn off before it can be put into the mouth and slowly picked up. The delicious taste can still be felt deeply to this day, and my mouth is almost drooling.

When the peas slowly turn from green to yellow, the pea pieces in the beans will become old and hard, and they will not taste good in your mouth. But at this time, you can take it home and cook it in a big pot, and the bean particles can be eaten into your mouth. The taste is really delicious. The peas were later dried and mainly used as feed for livestock. However, people also consumed a lot of them, such as steaming steamed buns and eating pea noodles.

Stealing beans has been with me throughout my childhood and will be something I will never forget. At that time, stealing was relative and there was no sense of guilt. Later, after the land was contracted to each household, no one in the village planted peas, and I never ate pea wedges again. For decades, when I think of wheat fields, I will think of the "disgraceful" childhood when I stole beans from the team with my friends. Never forget. Stealing peas when I was a kid 2

When I was a kid in my hometown, all kinds of grains were grown in the fields, but I always had a soft spot for peas because when the pods were forming, I would always go with my friends. Stealing pea pods from other people's fields (I also have some at home, but I don't know why I just want to pick pea pods from other people's fields). While picking, I looked up and looked around, fearing that the owner would appear. Occasionally I saw a person coming from a distance.

Before he could see whether he was the owner of the land, he ran away.

(Actually, the landowner will not really punish us. We are all neighbors. He is just afraid that we will trample other people’s pea seedlings.

After the peas mature, most of them are sold to grain collectors to supplement the household income. I will also keep some for frying, or grind them into pea powder, stir-fry and drink it with water.

I will also grab a handful of peas and feed them to the livestock feed.

As for other nutrients, it is also higher than white rice noodles and millet.
