Reading | My hometown in peanuts

Author:Banyue talk about new media Time:2022.09.25

Although my parents have already moved to the neighboring town in my hometown for many years, I always thought about the hometown that I grew up for 18 years. Sister Guo invited in WeChat again and again that she always used the words "Going home to see", which made me unable to refuse.

During the National Day holiday last year, because of the invitation of Sister Guo, I would leave.

For an hour and a half, less than a hundred kilometers, I returned to Mopan Street, Pulandian District, Pulandian, Dalian, and was called Mopan Township before the withdrawal of Pulandian.

Yes, I wrote wrong, it was ink, not grinding.

Sister Guo said that the grinding plate is more like a utensil, stone, cold and silent; and the ink plate is gentle, textured, cultural, and can speak.

So far, there is no decent industry in the ink plate, but the peanuts of ink disk have become more and more popular in recent years.

Xu is a descendant of Shandong people, and the ink people have a lot of experience in planting peanuts. My ancestral ancestral home was in Laiyang, Shandong. I did not verify whether Laiyang was the hometown of peanuts. The first generation of the ancestors might take the peanut seeds to take root in ink disk. Anyway, I am a ink man who grew up with peanuts.

I have no research on the soil, but some experts say that the soil in Mopan Township is most suitable for the growth of peanuts. That kind of soil is not as sticky as the black soil of the black land, nor is it loose as sandy land. In the ink plate, people call peanuts called "fruit" or "ground fruit". It is the most indispensable food in the lives of ink people.

In my childhood, although I was not the labor force of the production team, I knew it a little about the sowing and harvest of peanuts.

Before the fruit, it is necessary to soak the peanut species with water, but do not soak it to germination. It feels like the hotness of peanuts in the cold dish in the hotel in the restaurant is very delicious.

Getting peanuts in large areas need to be picked away from the roots of the peanuts with plows. The villagers even slap their roots and shake the floating soil, and they are pulled all to the production team's field to dry.

At this time, there will be a small amount of peanuts scattered in the dirt in the peanut land. The men, women, and children in Tunzi have already waited for the ground. When the production team captain is ordering, everyone swarms in, waves the rake to roll the soil, pick up the remaining peanuts and pick it in. In your own basket. This kind of behavior of picking peanut residues, the old family calls it "blocking fruit" or "blocking fruit". The peanuts of the production team must be handed over. The "fruit" picked up is its own. It is better to eat fried peanuts, eat raw and eat it, and eat oil better.

Most of the brigades or communes have oilfields. Peel the peanuts and send them to the oil workshop. It costs a few dollars to squeeze the sprayed soybean oil. The pressed peanut cakes are also very delicious. The peanut cake is my childhood snack. I put a piece in my pocket, and I took a bite when I was hungry.

The children of ink disk grew up with fruit, they were healthy and intelligent. The peanuts of the ink and soil are the treasures of the water and soil.

At the age of 18, my father who worked in the power industry department left his hometown and moved to the nearby town of Chengzan. No matter where I moved, I have never changed the habit of eating peanuts. I like to eat peanuts that have just been pulled out of the soil, fresh, wet, and chewed white soup when I bite ... I only eat the variety called "Dabai Sand" and "Xiaobai Sand". Now it seems to be called " "Haihua", this was told me by Sister Guo's brother.

Before retiring, my brother -in -law was an agricultural assistant in the township and a standard national civil servant. It is said that when he retired, he should go to the county town to pension. The houses there are all renovated and have been idle for several years.

But my brother -in -law is a bad temper, and no one can change him. Sister Guo has been the deputy township chief, deputy secretary, and director of the township.

On the side of the street cultural station, my brother -in -law rented a warehouse with five or six basketball courts, and established a cooperative specializing in the acquisition of local peanuts. Every fall, my brother -in -law sells the high -quality peanuts acquired to Shandong peanut export companies, and is exported to the European Union and Japan according to needs.

In this way, the worries of the people in Mo Pan are completely gone. Just grow peanuts every year, and they will be able to go to the market after the autumn harvest. They will sell their brother -in -law's cooperatives.

My brother -in -law told me that he needed a lot of cash to acquire peanuts every year, which is a huge pressure. Every year, they make up for the west, ask for the Dong family, borrow the west family, and boil all year after year. Seeing that the days of the folks were better every day, I also fulfilled the responsibility of a Communist Party member.

The news of Moyuan Street is spreading by peanuts. Farmers near the streets have also begun to sell peanuts to Mo Pan. The brother -in -law's cooperatives cannot digest so many peanuts. The brother -in -law and the street leaders totaled, attracting investment through investment promotion, and introducing several peanut acquisitions and processing companies. In this way, exports are connected with domestic sales, and the peanut industry in ink is getting bigger and bigger, becoming the peanut distribution center of Dalian.

Accidents will happen. Last year, his son who worked hard in Dalian City died of illness. He was only thirty years old and had not yet become a family. The sky of Sister Guo and the brother -in -law's family collapsed. The white -haired people sent black -haired people. But autumn is coming, looking at Bai Huahua's peanuts and looking at the eyes of the folks, my brother -in -law opened the door of the warehouse with tears ...

I said, my brother -in -law, do I write you?

My brother -in -law said, writing is okay, but don't mention his name, or simply use "peanuts" as his name.

For a period of time, I especially wanted to find a place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, covered a house, and put all the books I have accumulated over the years. In particular, there must be a yard, so that the vegetables are made of vegetables, and the most important thing is to plant some melon pear peaches. Sometimes I have thanked the guests behind closed doors, reading and thinking; sometimes Gao friends are full, Qu Shui is smooth ... This trip to my hometown, I seemed to find the answer.
