Chapter 30 Tea Tree Planting Plan
The Zhang family had no sugar, so they borrowed a third of a small bowl from a neighbor.

White sugar in this era is very expensive, and most people can't afford it, and they are reluctant to buy it. This little bit from the neighbor's house is still given by relatives when they visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, and they have been reluctant to eat it.

Zhang Laoer repeatedly promised that he would buy it and return it to him when he went to the county tomorrow, so he was willing to borrow it.

Li Mo first taught them how to make candied haws. This is simple, just master the heat.

Wash and remove the pits of the hawthorns first, then skewer them with bamboo sticks, boil the sugar in the pot with a small amount of water until it bubbles, then put the hawthorn skewers on a plate, pour the syrup on the hawthorn skewers, and let it cool.

While waiting, Li Mo felt that his saliva was about to flow out. No woman could resist the temptation of candied haws.

Lao Ba is a curious baby: "My lord, won't the fruit be sour after doing this?"

Li Mo: "Yes, after the sugar cools down, you can taste it, and see if your lord is lying to you."

He also asked the Zhang family brothers to use straw and sticks to make a stake for inserting candied haws.

In order to better sell the candied haws, I even taught them to sing "Candied Haws". Unfortunately, except Zhang Lao Er and Lao Ba who dared to sing, everyone else was too embarrassed to sing along, especially Zhang Boss, who was in his twenties, why? I can't open my mouth either.

Lao Ba sang so well, shaking her head, she was so cute, she really wanted to pinch her little face, but considering her current status, she decided to forget it, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

Lao Qi wanted to sing but didn't dare to sing. Such a song was so good that people couldn't help but follow the beat, but the brothers were too tight-lipped and didn't sing.

Zhang Laoer said that there is nothing more terrifying than being poor, as long as the business is good, it doesn't matter if you ask him to sing a few more times.

The Zhang family had no meat, only a small amount of glutinous rice and mung beans. Zhang Dafu's mother heard Li Mo say that she wanted to make zongzi, and thought it was Li Mo who wanted to eat, so she cruelly took out all the glutinous rice and mung beans.

It doesn't matter if there is no meat, I just teach them how to operate today, and I can just buy the meat and seasonings tomorrow.

The zongzi leaves should be blanched first, otherwise they will be easily broken and cracked.

Wash the glutinous rice and mung beans, adjust the taste, and teach them how to make zongzi.

After that, it is boiled, and it must be cooked thoroughly.

After such a busy job, it took a whole morning. I wanted to teach them how to make glutinous rice cakes, but it took too long. The glutinous rice had to be ground first, and then it had to be drained and kneaded hard, just like kneading flour. almost.

I had to tell them how to make glutinous rice cakes and let them try to make them.

Zongzi are packed very small and are easy to cook.

I didn't cook any more at noon, so I just ate rice dumplings without meat. The original ecological crops tasted very good, but it didn't taste like meat, which was a pity.

After a morning of contact, and Li Mo is very easy-going, everyone is no longer as stiff as in the morning, and even made a few jokes. The old eight even danced in the yard, which became everyone's joy.

Before leaving, Li Mo said to Zhang Dafu's father: "Uncle Zhang, go to the county town tomorrow to buy these seasonings and come back, try to make it, and make it a few times, and it will definitely succeed. In the future, you can let a few children go to the county town to sell these foods. , free of rent for three months, there is a night market at night, you can also try your luck at a stall, if you don’t understand anything, you can go to Dafu.”

Zhang Dafu's father was so moved that he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head repeatedly.

After Li Mo and Zhang Dafu left, the Zhang family all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Mo's back. The county magistrate gave money and taught him how to make snacks. I have seen hope, and there is hope for the day.

Lao Ba secretly took a bite of the candied haws while everyone was not paying attention, and his eyes widened instantly. It turned out that the adults really didn't lie to me, this fruit is really not sour, and it is delicious.

By the time everyone found out that she was stealing, two strings had already been dealt with.

So everyone paid for one, um, it's so delicious, it must be a hit if it's sold.

Zhang Laoer's mind turned quickly, and he immediately asked his family to go to the county to buy sugar, why wait until tomorrow, today's things are done today, and he can't wait to take the basket to pick hawthorns.

Zhang Dafu had already informed the village chief, and when Li Mo arrived, the village chief had already been waiting for a long time.

The three of them walked around the land that had been reclaimed, and Li Mo would stop at intervals to grab a handful of soil and study it. Since there was no testing equipment, but from the surface, it was yellow loam, loose and breathable. The calcareous content is not too high, and here is a hilly area with good drainage, which is suitable for planting tea trees.

Li Mo: "Mr. Zhang, have you calculated how many acres of land have been reclaimed in the village?"

Village head Zhang: "Master, I have already counted, a total of 310 mu."

Li Mo: "Are they connected or separated?"

Village head Zhang: "Most of them are connected together, and a small part is on the other side. When I first saw people opening up wasteland here, everyone flocked to this area. Now no one has planted it, just sorted it out. "

Li Mo: "Have you thought about what to plant?"

Village head Zhang: "Most people plan to plant soybeans in the spring of next year."

This is also what Li Mo said when he encouraged everyone to open up wasteland at the beginning.

Li Mo nodded: "Have you ever planted tea trees?"

Village head Zhang was surprised: "My lord, do you want everyone to plant tea trees?"

Li Mo: "Yes, count how many people are willing to plant tea trees."

Village head Zhang: "My lord, none of us have planted tea trees before, will it work?"

Li Mo: "Learn if you don't understand, what are you afraid of?"

Everyone knows how expensive tea is, and it is a luxury that rich people can afford.

Village head Zhang hesitated for a moment before he said anxiously, "My lord, the problem is where do we get the seeds, even if we have seeds to sell, no one has the money to buy them."

This is the key.

Li Mo comforted him: "Don't worry about the seed, I will find a way."

Village head Zhang still feels that it will not work: "Even if it is planted, how will it be sold and who will it be sold to?"

Li Mo: "Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. There is nothing to be afraid of. If it is really unsuccessful, the big deal will be back to the original point, as poor as now. If it succeeds, it will become sweet after suffering. This It's not just a matter for one person, but a big event for the entire village."

"Plant all the tea trees on the mountain. If you don't want to, you don't have to force it. In the place near the water, see what else you can grow this year. If it doesn't work, you can plant cabbage. Next year, you can plant sweet potatoes or sugar cane. Don't force them. It's just a suggestion, so that they don't complain. you."

The growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is relatively short, and it can be harvested before the frost comes.

Village head Zhang: "However, there are too many Chinese cabbages to eat."

Li Mo: "Don't worry, you can sell what you can't finish, and find the official if you can't sell."

With Li Mo's words, Village Chief Zhang is relieved.
