Although yu rice is a coarse grain, it was once the staple food for northern villagers in the era of food shortage.[..com]
With the arrival of the years of food and clothing, rice has become more and more abundant, and rice has also left people's dining tables. Nowadays, in the context of an era where nutritional combinations and health care are emphasized, eating rice has been re-popular.
Especially the sweet rice, glutinous rice and fruit rice in the Yu rice family are more popular among people, so that you can see the stalls cooking rice in the streets and alleys and smell the aroma of popcorn.
Even at high-end banquets, you can see the figure of yu rice, yu rice bamboo shoots, yu rice soup and yu oil wok noodles, which have entered the elegant hall and become the most popular products on the dining table.
In midsummer, in the fields in the north, there are a small amount of soybeans, sorghum, and the most common one is rice.
The shape of yu rice is like sugarcane, but the straw is thicker, taller and straighter than sugarcane, and the leaves are wider and thicker than sugarcane, and they are large and stretched, covering people's sight tightly. When I was a child, I looked at large yu rice fields and didn't know how to describe it. I only realized that this was called "green gauze tent" when I grew up.
When I was a child, in the yu rice fields that were beyond my reach, there seemed to be something Sun Gang was looking forward to.
Although the weather is hot, it cannot stop the "green gauze tent" from the children.
During the summer vacation, Sun Gang would meet his neighbor's friends and head out of the village excitedly. When he entered the rice field, in addition to finding sweet and tender rice stalks, if he was lucky, he could also pick small melons and small watermelons. These thin melons and watermelons are not specially cultivated, but grow from manure.
The straw and leaves of yu rice block the sun and absorb most of the nutrients, so these small wild melons never grow up, but they are also sweet and delicious when they mature.
Sometimes you will find quails and rabbits. If you can’t catch quails, you can pick up quail eggs. When a hare sees someone, it will bounce up and run away with a thud.
In the rice fields, there are many insects playing the piano and singing, and the biggest voice is called the cucumber. The hotter it is, the more they scream in unison. The sounds are coming one after another, and the formation can only be described as the flying song of the earth.
There are also big-bellied grasshoppers who can't chirp. They drag their needle-shaped tails and quietly lurk on the yu rice stalks. When they catch it, they can be placed under the stove and barbecue, and eat it until they taste delicious and fragrant.
Until you are full and drink enough, you will call your companions to come out, rush home to drink water, take a shower, and cool off. 4∴8065
In late autumn, the thick rice stalks were thinner, the thick rice leaves drooped, and the lush dark green became dry and yellow.
The rice fields are no longer so dense and airtight, and they can see everything in the ground clearly.
The mature rice is like a child, holding a chubby rice baby in his arms. The strands of rice tassels are like yellow hair and drooping hair, and the green rice skin with yellow rice is like swaddling clothes, wrapping the rice baby layer by layer.
The golden autumn is the season for harvest of rice. Every household in the village is busy picking rice, and those who work outside the country also come home to help. The village is full of busy scenes.
The sky has been on the verge of the sky. It is not as thick as dark clouds, but this may be the inherent verge of autumn.
The autumn harvest has been postponed for many days due to rainy reasons. I feel embarrassed to rain again.
But God is hesitating, and farmers cannot.
Oh my God, just yin, the villagers can’t wait any longer to harvest crops.
The fields, the fields are full of busy people, and they are running back and forth everywhere
o's machinery.
In front of the house, behind the house, and in the free places, there are dry rice everywhere
āng,yu rice seeds.
In the afternoon, the sun came out, and although it was not too bright, it also swept away some people's clouds.
Suddenly, a drop of rain hits the face. Sun Gang is suspected to be a splashing drop. A moment later, a few or even more drops of rain float, hitting his face and body. Sun Gang raised his face and clearly saw the raindrops coming gracefully under the reflection of the sunlight. The sun rain comes in autumn, which Sun Gang never saw.
The raindrops were sparsely underground, the pedestrians were still walking carelessly, and the machinery was still roaring.
After a while, the rain ended hastily as if it had finished the task reluctantly. The violent sun rain in my impression was gone.
This sun rain didn't scare anything. People worked and lived step by step from beginning to end, but the yuzu shacks on the roadside stalls were gathered together when the rain came, and now they had to be spread out again with trouble.
Fortunately, "God" was very successful in the next few days and it didn't rain.
All the rice from Sun Gang's house was recovered and dried and put into the warehouse.
The big farm work was solved, and the rest were all fragmentary work, such as breaking rice, cutting soybeans, and pulling out the life.
Today we started to break the rice. This year, Sun Gang's family only planted half acre of land, so they did not hire anyone. The family could handle it quickly using machines.
When I arrived at the ground, only the leaves on the top were still green, and the ones below were already withered and yellow.
Under the blue sky is a rice field that can’t be seen at a glance, and large and full rice
It sways in the wind on the yu rice pole, which is very pleasant...
The vast green patch is mixed with withered yellow, and the thick rice stalks appear particularly vivid in the sun. The narrow leaves are like green ribbons, swaying and dancing under the breeze. The rice wearing "red tassels" on their heads and light green "clothes" on their heads
āngzi, hid shyly among the rice stalks.
The stretching green is covered with mottled yellow, the wind sways the heavy leaves, and the brush is sound, the tassels are black, and they are gently swaying, which is another harvest year.
The dirt roads in the countryside were filled with dust and smoke, and vehicles were slowly moving, full of heavy joy. The clouds on the top of the sky were like silk threads, and birds were too lazy to cry in the shadows of the trees.
The raw soybeans in the sand were ripe, and the red sorghum waved their enthusiastic arms. People began to move.
There was a busy scene in the surrounding rice fields, and the villagers were busy making rice.
āng, the rice stalk is cut, and looking around, there are a lot of rice piled up on the ground
The sun shines with golden light, which makes the villagers who have worked hard for a year smile on their faces.
During the busy farming season, adults are busy rushing to harvest, so they don’t care about their children. The children are starting to become unrestrained. Primary school students on Saturdays and Sundays lead their children who are not yet school to play wildly in the fields. Although it is noisy and a little noisy, it also brings a touch of joyful childlike fun and relaxation to this tense harvesting season.
Children are not just playing, they sometimes help their adults to prepare for their own food.
āng, bundle rice straw, of course, most of the time, I look for public rice straw in the rice fields to eat.
Children in the village rarely eat sugarcane this season, it is as sweet as
The male rice straw of u has become a substitute, a sweet childhood enjoyment.
The male rice straw looks thin, with a striking red color in the emerald green, and does not make rice
It seems that the whole body of jinghua is condensed into sugar to feed the poor childhood of rural children.
Groups of children were tossing and searching for male rice straw everywhere. When they saw the dazzling scarlet, they immediately took it forward and put it in their hands like sugarcane and chewed it in their mouths.
The sweet liquid like u juice flows into the mouth and into the abdomen, which is a long-lost sense of happiness.
In the village fields, the working farmers are middle-aged and elderly, and there are many people outside the fifties. This is because the young and middle-aged laborers in the village are basically working outside.
"If you come back during the busy farming season, the delayed working hours will be added to one yuan, and the loss will be thousands of yuan. The total amount is not cost-effective, so they basically don't come back. It's nothing to be tired, so we can't delay the children's work and make money." Many elderly people in the village think so.
But the young people didn't come back, but it made the elderly and children in the village suffer.
There are also many half-aged children who are also taken to the field to work by their parents during the holidays, but the children are obviously veterans, but they are inevitably sloppy.
"Look at what kind of yu rice I broke into, twins."
"I just broke a spike of yu rice more than one foot long."
"It's the turn of autumn harvest and it keeps raining. I originally thought it would affect the harvest, but I didn't expect that the yu rice will be so good this year, hahaha..." Some adults were chatting without their hands, and accompanied the yu rice sound of "cracking" yu rice.
Seeing that Dad Sun put down his things, he started to break up the rice. Sun Gang put on the gloves and a long-sleeved shirt prepared in advance, and joined the ranks of breaking the rice.
It seems simple to do, but it is difficult to do it. The ears of rice grow too high and you have to raise your head to break. When you raise your head, you will inevitably fall into your face and neck, and you will feel uncomfortable.
Sun Gang was like a clockwork machine, and he quickly rushed to the front. The broken yu rice was thrown on the ground, piled up, and put it into bags after breaking it.
Although it is very hard to break the yu rice, it is also full of surprises. For example, if you break the yu rice, you can be excited for a long time after breaking it. It looks very gratifying. When you go home, you can weigh it and you have one or two kilograms.
The next floor is Zhang An’s land in the village. Sun’s father and Zhang An are both chatting and doing things.
"Lao Zhang, your land is not small, why not cut it by machine?" asked Sun's father.
"The ground is too wet, and the yu rice harvester can't get in, so I can only break it with my hands. However, the two children have come back this year, so I don't have to worry about work," Zhang An said to his father.
Both sons of Zhang An’s family who worked in the county town returned home to help. Two days ago, because of the rainy day, the ground was muddy and could not enter the ground. Early in the morning, the family of four drove a tractor to collect rice in the field.
"Have you broken a few cars? How did the yu rice in your field look like this year?"
"I chose the seeds this year. After so many days of rain, I didn't fall down and grew well. I have been beaten for two days, and it will be almost done for another day tomorrow." Zhang An's land is relatively large, so I have to work hard for a few days.
Although Zhang An and Sun's father were tired of talking, their voices were filled with unconcealed joy.
