Chapter 128 - 128 122 Another Bountiful Harvest

?Chapter 128: Chapter 122 Another Bountiful Harvest Chapter 128: Chapter 122 Another Bountiful Harvest August brought the harvest season, and Shen Yunfang was busy once again, just like the previous year.

First, she picked all the mature vegetables from her backyard. She sun-dried a portion of the less attractive ones to use for stews in winter. The dried vegetables had a different taste from the fresh ones, offering a unique flavor.

She also picked dozens of the tenderest ears of corn and stored them in her space. Last winter, she would occasionally take some out to either boil or roast; they were so fragrant. That’s why she picked even more this year.

Next, she buried the wine she had made in a pit. Ever since she learned how to brew wine two years ago, she’d make a jar every month and bury it in the backyard. Now, after more than a year, she must have nearly twenty jars of wine buried there. If she kept this up, she would run out of places to bury them.

She hadn’t forgotten about the wild fruits in the mountains either. This year she had learned to climb trees, so she had her sights set on the round jujube tree. All summer, she had picked at least twenty to thirty pounds. Round jujubes were like mini kiwis, tart and sweet and very delicious.

Then there were the mountain grapes. She had planted quite a few cuttings last year, and this year that small patch had grown considerably. She picked the ripe ones and, seeing the abundance, she used two stands to make jugs of grape juice, which of course used up a lot of sugar.

Another delight was the significant yield of pine nuts. Pine nuts don’t have a good harvest every year; you usually get a large yield every five years and a small yield every three. Luckily, this year happened to be a large yield. Even without climbing the trees to shake them down, there were far more falling to the ground than last year. Shen Yunfang didn’t hesitate to pick them up; by the end, she had saved a considerable quantity in her space.
