Chapter 427 Harvest 2
What Xu Han said was indeed very reasonable. None of them were short of money. They simply couldn't bear to see the crops they had grown with so much effort being wasted, so they rushed to harvest the soybeans at all costs.
Grandpa Zhao said, "Eat first, and then continue working after dinner."
After finishing the meal, we rushed to harvest for about a quarter of an hour, and then a heavy downpour came.
"Let's go, let's go home quickly."
Upon hearing this, the four of them ran home quickly. The autumn rain was still very cold on the body, and they would inevitably catch a cold if they were wet for too long.
After arriving home, they took a hot shower and changed into clean clothes.
"Fortunately, we didn't plant a lot of soybeans this year, and most of them have been harvested. Whether the rest can be harvested depends on God's will."
Xu Han is now very optimistic. "It's okay. There aren't many left anyway. At worst, we can just leave them all in the field to grow bean sprouts. This saves us the trouble of growing bean sprouts ourselves."
Lu Chuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. That's right! His wife has a space, so even if all the beans are turned into bean sprouts, it won't be wasted. They can be kept fresh in the space.
Apparently other people realized this as well and were like “Hahaha, that’s a good idea.”
Grandpa Zhao also agreed, "Yes, we have a lot of bean sprouts every year anyway, so it's not a waste."
Although there may be more bean sprouts, there is no need to worry as there is space. At worst, if you can’t finish them this year, you can continue eating them next year. There is so much time that you can always finish them.
Xu Han was feeling lucky that the crops they were harvesting were soybeans. What if it was corn and wheat? If they sprouted, they would really sprout.
However, the sprouted grains will not be wasted. They can be eaten, but they just don’t taste good.
But it won't be wasted anyway. Besides, there are more than a dozen dogs at home, and so many chickens, ducks, and geese. With these livestock, how can we just throw them away?
Thinking of this, everyone no longer felt sorry for the soybeans in the fields. They ate and drank as usual during the rainy days, as if nothing had ever happened.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the sun came out. Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest didn't care that it was difficult to walk on the fields because of the rain, and went to collect the remaining soybeans.
Although everyone was ready to eat the bean sprouts, they still had to rescue what could be rescued. After all, there were quite a few soybeans left in the field.
The harvested soybeans are placed in the front and back yards to dry. Those harvested a few days ago are also transported out to dry. After drying, they can be threshed.
After another two or three days, a lot of bean sprouts grew in the field where soybeans were originally planted.
Some of them fell to the ground during the rush to harvest and were not picked up, while others were cracked because they were not cut back. In any case, they all turned into bean sprouts after a rain.
Early that morning, after getting up, Xu Han took a large backpack and went to the field, intending to pick and collect the bean sprouts as soon as they appeared.
Otherwise, the bean sprouts will all be old in two days, and when exposed to the sun, the grown bean sprouts will turn into green bean sprouts.
Xu Han personally feels that green bean sprouts are not as delicious as soybean sprouts. They have a stronger bean smell and are not suitable for cooking except as cold dishes.
The bean sprouts in the field are easy to pick up, they are growing one next to the other, and it is very relaxing to pick them up.
In just the morning, Xu Han had pulled a large basket of herbs. Because they were pulled from the ground, the roots were still covered with dirt.
Xu Han simply took the backpack and went directly to the stream, put the backpack into the stream, and pulled it up and down repeatedly until all the mud was washed away.
Lu Chuan had been busy at home for a long time. Seeing that his wife had not returned yet, he went out to look for her.
I looked around from the gate of the courtyard and saw that there was no one inside. I couldn't help but wonder where everyone had gone. When I thought about the recent unstable situation in the world, I became even more anxious, hoping that nothing had happened.
But when I thought about the dogs at home that were still outside, they would definitely bark if there was anything unusual, and I didn't seem to hear any dogs barking just now, so it seemed that nothing should be wrong.
Not seeing anyone, Lu Chuan walked out, intending to go out and look for her on his own.
As he got closer to the stream, Lu Chuan heard the sound of something being washed. When he got closer, he saw that it was his wife.
It turned out that when looking over here from outside the courtyard gate, Xu Han's figure was blocked by a big tree, which resulted in Lu Chuan not seeing Xu Han.
As soon as Lu Chuan approached, he couldn't help but complain, "I didn't see you when I went out just now. I was scared to death."
"Hahaha, I just picked a basket of bean sprouts. I saw that they were all covered in mud, so I wanted to come over and wash them."
Lu Chuan thought about it and couldn't help but said, "When you go out in the future, ask me to go with you. I always feel that things are not going well down there recently. After the autumn harvest is over in a few days, I will go down there to check the situation."
"That's good. We haven't been down the mountain for quite some time. Apart from the news sent back by Yunhua, we don't know much about the situation outside. It would be good to go and see it for ourselves."
"Well, I'll go after the corn is harvested."
"Okay, the corn will be harvested soon. After we finish planting this year, you can turn over the vacant land when you have time. After that, you can plant wheat right after that."
Lu Chuan took the backpack from Xu Han and walked home with it. "Well, we'll start tilling the soil today. After tilling, we'll let the soil air out before planting winter wheat. This will help us avoid being too busy to plant too many crops at once."
"Okay, you guys take care of the arrangements. I won't be in charge of the farm. I think the bean sprouts are good, so I'll go back and make some cold bean sprouts for dinner."
"Okay, you decide."
When they returned home, Lu Chuan had already prepared breakfast. Xu Han took out a handful of freshly pulled bean sprouts, washed them, and added an extra cold dish.
First blanch the washed bean sprouts, then take them out and rinse them with cold water. After draining the water, pour the prepared garlic juice in and stir evenly before eating.
While eating, the Taoist priest commented, "These bean sprouts are good, crunchy and very refreshing."
Xu Han said with a smile, "As long as they taste good, there are still a lot in the field! I'll pick some after dinner. These bean sprouts grow fast, and they will get old if I don't pick them in time."
While Lu Chuan was eating the rice in his bowl, he said to Xu Han, "Don't rush to go after dinner. I'll go with you later."
"Aren't you going to turn the soil?"
"No problem. You pick the bean sprouts while I turn the soil."
Xu Han thought about it and it made sense. The two plots of land were not far from each other, so she agreed.
"Mom, can I go? I want to pick bean sprouts, too."
Mu'er blinked his big eyes and looked at Xu Han. He still remembered that he couldn't help Xu Han harvest beans a few days ago, but he could help his mother pick bean sprouts! This is very simple and he can definitely do it.
