Chapter 817: Feeding the piggies
The pot was too big, even though the flames in the stove underneath were roaring, it still took nearly an hour to boil this pot of pig feed into a 【mess】.
The golden old pumpkin had already been stirred into pieces, and the sweet potatoes couldn't help but take on a light color. The wheat bran, rice bran, and corn cob powder had already been stirred into a large, hot, and sticky pot.
Only the water hyacinth vine fragments that were accidentally put in the pot first were now boiled into a dismal yellow-green color, casting a color that wasn't very appetizing over this pot of pig feed that was originally quite tempting.
And the people in the live stream were patient, waiting for this hour.
During this hour, the streamer first played with the dog until he disappeared, and then went to tease the long-tailed pheasant—will everyone feel that it's prestigious for a national first-class protected animal to appear?
Not at all, everyone just felt cold. Because that increasingly majestic rooster saw its little master wanting to tease its wife (the short-tailed long-tailed pheasant), so its comb turned blood-red, and it caught the male long-tailed pheasant and beat it until there were feathers everywhere, and it almost plucked a long tail feather!
Tragic, truly tragic!
Is this the end?
No!
A few treasures from the mountain came down to visit! But this camera and range were obviously not something a small mobile phone could carry, so in the end, everyone looked at the empty live stream room numbly, already very calm.
Be content! There's still a pot of luxury breakfast to watch today!
It wasn't until Qiaoqiao finally carefully buried the two carefully selected sweet potatoes into the stove pile that was almost burned out that this pot of pig feed was finally boiled.
But this wasn't the end.
Don't look at that group of pigs that were already screaming and almost crazy, but now that it's just out of the pot and so hot, it really couldn't be given to them.
Qiaoqiao took a large gourd ladle, scooped it into the bucket ladle by ladle, and then put the bucket into the sink to accelerate the heat dissipation. He stuffed five buckets into the large pool, which was a pause.
After these five buckets, there was only half a pot left in the sticky pig feed pot.
Don't panic, he added some water, covered the pot, and continued to simmer slowly.
Wait until the sweet potatoes are roasted at noon and add two more pieces of firewood, and the pig feed will still be hot by the evening, which is just right for the weather that has already cooled down at night.
This is already considered very considerate. In previous years, pig feed would only be boiled when winter arrived.
Qiaoqiao was originally very patient, but the pigs were screaming so tragically and loudly that he sighed helplessly, then stood by the pigsty, took a shoe brush, and brushed the heads of the pigs one by one very carefully. Seeing them grunting and squealing, they had already fallen down, and only then did he say:
"Stop screaming, stop screaming! If you scream so loudly, you'll be hungry in a while."
But the pig feed didn't cool down that fast. Qiaoqiao's movements paused, and seeing a few pigs wanting to open their throats again, he had to turn into the pigsty and brush their backs one by one with a shoe brush.
This kind of detailed scratching could only be enjoyed here at Qiaoqiao's.
The pigs lay there and finally gradually calmed down.
The live stream room blocked by the pigsty door:...
【A very new kind of live stream.】
【Is there anything I, a big member, can't watch?】
【What secret is behind the door?】
【Are they going to eat this luxury breakfast or not? It's already 7:50!】
【Exactly! Whose piggies haven't eaten by 8 o'clock?】
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Qiaoqiao finally turned out and picked up the red plastic bucket that the piggies loved most.
The hot pig feed was poured into the long and narrow pig feed trough bucket by bucket. Da Hei turned its body sideways, stepped into the stone trough very domineeringly, and ate without even raising its head.
But the fat and strong white pig behind it just pushed forward hard, and forcibly found a golden position beside it. A few pigs squeezed together and ate wildly, and soon the side of the pig feed trough was a mess.
Qiaoqiao looked satisfied: "Can you be full now? Then bye-bye piggies, I'm going to take the little friends to dry sweet potato strips."
He rinsed the buckets clean, picked up the phone stand, and happily went up the mountain.
Everyone in the live stream room didn't know why, but suddenly they let out a long sigh.
It was probably because the luxury breakfast this morning put too much pressure on everyone.
The work on the mountain had already entered a heated state.
In the wide open space of the factory, everyone gathered together and worked happily. They didn't just talk about efficiency and assembly lines. When washing sweet potatoes, they washed them together, and when cutting, they cut them together. Now that Qiaoqiao came up the mountain, there were already several layers on the bamboo curtain.
The people in the village weren't so particular about drying sweet potato strips. Red-skinned and white-skinned ones were cut together messily, and the thickness was about the same.
This drying method was very simple, slice them and dry them directly until they are completely dry. But eating them is the same as dried chestnuts, grinding and sucking, and you can spend an hour with one piece.
It is truly a tooth-grinding artifact.
Everyone chatted and talked happily. If it were said that picking vegetables on weekdays was for sale, it would be quite particular. Now, cutting sweet potatoes and stuffing a piece into their mouths is simply the most common thing.
Just one bite and everyone felt the difference:
"These sweet potatoes are too delicious!"
"Old Song, the money your family spent this year is really worth it! Good! Delicious!"
"Ah, if sweet potatoes could taste like this when I was a child, we wouldn't have had heartburn."
"You're just bragging! Even if you eat flat peaches every day, you'll get sick of them... Anyway, I don't like eating these sweet potatoes."
Wu Lan was also very generous: "Okay, when planting sweet potatoes next year, come and help, and I'll give you an extra ridge of sweet potato seedlings."
I'm afraid that by next year, every household will be planting other things in their fields, and they might not be able to take care of this. At that time, they can only choose some corners, and one ridge will be more than enough.
Everyone laughed happily. They had some idea about the work during this period. After tasting two pieces, they knew it was for drying and selling, so they forcibly held back.
Tasting is fine, that doesn't matter. But if you eat endlessly, it's annoying.
And Qiaoqiao also pinched a piece of sweet potato on the bamboo curtain to show everyone:
"Little friends, these are the sweet potato strips our family is going to dry. However, they aren't the kind of red, soft, and super sweet ones. After they are dried, they are super hard, super hard, and you can eat a small piece for a long time."
He gave a friendly reminder: "So little friends with bad teeth shouldn't buy them! You can't bite them."
Zhang Zhang Yanping watched from the side and added: "Everyone, please note that the appearance is not very high after drying, and it has a grayish-yellow color. It is recommended not to give it as a gift."
"However, although it is a bit ugly, the weight of one jin is much more durable than the soft kind. The shelf life is also very long... it's no problem to keep it for a year."
The comments flashed by rapidly—
【Your family sells food, do you still need to mention the shelf life?】
【Old-fashioned sweet potato strips? Ahhhhhhh, my love! I really can't eat the soft kind.】
【Give as a gift? Laughing to death, it's my blessing if I can grab it.】
【What old-fashioned? Shouldn't sweet potato strips be steamed and dried several times to be soft, fragrant, sweet, and chewy?】
【If you can eat one piece for a long time, it will be more cost-effective and durable to buy back, right?】
【Ahhhhhhh, is that very cost-effective for one jin?!】
