Wang Xuyang has long been accustomed to getting up early, but he did not get up and wash up immediately. Instead, his consciousness entered his exclusive space and examined the garlic and ginger he planted yesterday. "So fast?" Although Wang Xuyang was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw that some of the garlic and ginger sprouts had broken through the ground. After putting a drop of stone marrow spring into each nest again, Wang Xuyang nodded and exited the system space. Although it is late August, the sun is still hot, and although it is only half past six in the morning, the sky is already bright. After hastily eating the fermented poached eggs cooked by his mother, Wang Xuyang took the farm tools at home and went to his father. Rush to the reserved piece of soil. Summer mornings are always busy. Many people like Wang Xuyang are carrying hoes, wearing straw hats, and carrying a large bottle of tea into the soil. However, most of these people are middle-aged and elderly. Only Wang Xuyang is a young man. Let him Seems completely different. But this is also a normal phenomenon. Nowadays, young people in rural areas basically go out to work, and those who stay to farm are naturally only middle-aged and elderly people. "Bah, bah", Wang Xuyang spat twice, rubbed his hands, picked up the hoe, and began to loosen the slightly rigid land. The area of ????this land is not small, one acre is more than enough, so when the sun rises three poles, Wang Xuyang only loosened two-fifths of the land. "Xiaoyang, take it away, don't risk your life like this." It was almost lunch time, and Hu Shuying saw that Wang Xuyang hadn't come home yet, so she came over to ask him to eat. "You dug this all by yourself?" Looking at the loosened soil, Hu Shuying was a little surprised, because even he and her husband could only dig so much land in one morning. "Yes, I dug it all by myself." Wang Xuyang smiled, feeling a little emotional in his heart. It seems that his physical condition has really improved a lot. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but all all all the land had been loosened, we had to take out the soil and smash it into pieces. Relying on Wang Xuyang's body that had been tempered by the stone marrow spring, he was able to loosen nearly half an acre of land in half a morning. "Xiaoyang is so awesome. He must be hungry after doing so much work. Please pack up quickly." Hu Shuying felt sorry for her son and helped him hold the farm tools and walked home. People are like this, how much work you do, how much food you have to eat. Wang Xuyang didn't work much in the past two days, and only one bowl of rice was enough. But today at noon, he had to eat four bowls of rice before he felt full. The scorching sun is in the sky. If you go to work in the fields, you will definitely lose a layer of your skin. Wang Xuyang is not a masochist, so naturally he will not suffer. So he just made a pot of tea, sat under a tree with his father, drank tea and chatted, naturally about what he had experienced outside in the past few years. The two didn't chat for long when Liang Jiarong rushed in excitedly with a plastic bag and said to Wang Xuyang, "Cousin Yang, I went to find a lot of ice powder seeds just now. Can we make ice powder and eat it?" "Oh?" Wang Xuyang suddenly became interested and said with a smile, "Okay, it's okay now, so I'll cook it for you." "Long live Cousin Yang," Liang Jiarong jumped excitedly, and then pooped. followed Wang Xuyang, drooling. ¡ ¡ Ice powder is a common snack, but most of it is only sold in the summer. It is cheap and can relieve the heat. Although many people have eaten it, I think most people don¡¯t know how it is made. However, Wang Xuyang, who grew up in the countryside, knows very well that he made it often when he was a child. Ice powder is made from something called ice powder seeds. Ice powder seeds are the seeds of a plant called pseudophysalis. They are slightly smaller than sesame seeds and are brown in color. There are growing places near Wangjiagou, so Liang Jiarong must have looked for them when he had nothing to do in the morning, and there were quite a lot of them. First, fill the basin with clean water, then Wang Xuyang found a piece of gauze, put the ice powder seeds into it, put it into the clean water and started rubbing it. After the slurry of ice powder seeds was completely integrated into the water, Wang Xuyang found some lime for making bean curd from the kitchen and sprinkled it evenly into the water. When the water mixed with the ice powder seed slurry meets the lime, a magical change occurs. The water gradually solidifies and turns into a crystal-clear solid like jelly. "Uncle Yang, why do ice powder and bean curd require lime to solidify? It's so strange." Liang Jiarong looked at the changes in the ice powder in the basin and asked with his head tilted. "Ahem," Wang Xuyang coughed twice and said awkwardly, "You'd better ask your teacher about this. Cousin Yang's knowledge has been returned to them." "I don't know, I just don't know. What excuse can I use to despise you?" , Liang Jiarong mercilesslyWang Xuyang rolled his eyes. ¡°You understand and you¡¯re still asking me?¡± Wang Xuyang gave him a roll of his eyes, then put the ice powder into his refrigerator and walked to the kitchen. "You light the fire, and I'll fry some brown sugar water, otherwise the ice powder will not taste good." As he said that, Wang Xuyang scooped out a melon and ladle of water from the water tank, put it into the cauldron, and told Liang Jiarong. "Okay, let's go." Liang Jiarong nodded, skillfully picked up a handful of firewood and threw it under the stove. It was obvious that he had done a lot of burning firewood. This is the case for rural people. When natural gas has not yet become popular, burning firewood is the only choice, and a person's energy is limited. When cooking, someone will burn firewood, so that he will not be careless and in a hurry. The fire was rising, and the little water was boiled in a short while. Wang Xuyang turned around and took out a tightly sealed piece of brown sugar weighing two kilograms from the old wooden cabinet. Of course, that pot of ice powder cannot use so much brown sugar, so Wang Xuyang just cut off three or four taels and put them in the pot. The boiling water gradually melted the solid brown sugar, and the sweet fragrance floated in the air, making Liang Jiarong swallow her saliva. "Uncle Yang, cut a small piece of brown sugar and eat it, I'm so greedy." Liang Jiarong couldn't bear it anymore. She looked at the brown sugar on the cutting board and said to Wang Xuyang almost pleadingly. "Greedy," Wang Xuyang cursed with a smile, but did not refuse his request. Instead, he cut off two pieces of brown sugar, handed one to him, and put the other into his mouth. "It's only half a pound, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother." Liang Jiarong glanced at Wang Xuyang with contempt again, and also squinted his eyes, enjoying the sweetness of brown sugar. The brown sugar was scummy in the mouth, but it quickly melted and turned into a sweet taste. Wang Xuyang suddenly remembered that when he was a child, when he seemed to have nothing to eat, he actually stole the brown sugar at home and ate it. Now that he thought about it, it was quite Missed. When the two of them finished eating the brown sugar, the brown sugar juice had been boiled and Wang Xuyang put it in a bowl for later use when eating ice powder. After the brown sugar water cooled down, the ice powder had completely solidified. Wang Xuyang took it out of the refrigerator and put it on the table. By coincidence, Wang Xuyang¡¯s parents had also woken up from their nap, so he found four large bowls, filled them with spoons, and poured some brown sugar juice on them. Use a spoon to take a mouthful and put it into your mouth. The cold and crystal ice powder, mixed with the sweetness of brown sugar juice, dispels the summer heat. ¡¡
