Chapter 416 The First Family Business

Xiao Chong, the parent official of Hu County, was worried about the affairs of other villages and towns in Hu County. After the hurricane, Linjiazhuang had already started to get busy.

Although the hurricane damaged the houses of many families, as for the thatched and adobe houses, all of them collapsed, but because of Lin Wanwan's presence, not only can they exchange rare tiles with seafood, but also let the family Li Duo has a sideline business of sweet potato fans.

Everyone has no idea how much cotton is worth, but everyone knows very well whether fans are worth it!When these fans are made and sold in the town, they will be able to exchange for a lot of corn and cloth!
Compared with other villages, Linjiazhuang, which lives by the sea, suffered the smallest loss—because they have very little land, and the sweet potatoes and other food they planted were successfully harvested by women before the hurricane.

And the men in the clan, of course, together with the men in Lujiazhuang, snatched the cotton grown by the two villages together.

Lujiazhuang, which is not far from Linjiazhuang, suffered much more losses than Linjiazhuang in this hurricane.After all, they are pure farmers. Each family has much more land than the Lin Family Village, and naturally they grow more crops.

The damage caused by this fierce hurricane to the fields is visible to the naked eye. It is unknown how many crops that should have been harvested in the near future were blown down in the fields by the hurricane.Even if the crops survived the hurricane by luck, the branches and roots were damaged, and the leaves were damaged.

Especially the late rice that has been devastated by hurricanes will have greatly reduced disease resistance. Not only is there the threat of insect pests, but it is also very likely that plant diseases will break out.It is completely uncertain whether it will be able to last until the harvest in October, and how much output will be produced.They can guarantee half of the previous year's harvest, and they all have to thank God.

Because of this incident, even if the people in Lujiazhuang began to dry cotton, they were not in a high mood.

After all, cotton is inedible, and it is still unknown how much it can be exchanged for. However, the grain that is expected to be reduced in the field is a real loss.

How can they be so relaxed and happy that they are such farmers who watch the sky and eat their food.

But they are also considered lucky, being able to live in the same village as Linjiazhuang, they exchanged a lot of sweet potato seeds with corn back then.This time, sweet potatoes have been harvested a lot, and the output of high-yield crops is not comparable to that of ordinary crops in Datang.

And it was just in time for everyone to dig out before the hurricane came.

In addition to sweet potatoes, this time the Lean Township Lord of Linjiazhuang also opened his own granary to help the people whose houses collapsed and were particularly severely affected by the disaster.

With Lin Wanwan's relief and the existence of sweet potatoes, at least the people in Lujiazhuang and Dafengzhuang will not stop cooking and drinking the northwest wind before the autumn harvest, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.

Of course, if you want to eat as much as you can, then you really think too much.They are farmers who depend on the sky to eat. When they encountered such a big hurricane disaster before the autumn harvest, it would be good if they didn't starve to death. How could they dare to expect to open their stomachs and eat their fill?

No matter how difficult the day is, you must try your best to live it.

Now all the clean spaces in the two villages are covered with cotton.In order to dry the cotton, everyone went up the mountain to cut new bamboos during the slack season, and weaved a lot of bamboo mats.

The children are the most carefree. When they saw the snow-white cotton on the grain drying field for the first time, they were as happy as anything. They yelled "Baiyun" and ran over to want to roll and play wild on it, but they were caught by the adults. Stir-fried butt meat on a bamboo board.

These cottons are the treasures of adults!
This year's tax will start to be collected in one month. Whether cotton can be exchanged for as much hemp and grain as expected depends on what happens after the drying.

In addition to drying cotton, Linjiazhuang also has to be a fan.

Being a fan is mainly the responsibility of the women. During the period of being a fan of sweet potatoes, Linjiazhuang is closed to thank guests, and no relatives are allowed to come to visit!

Whether it's a married daughter or a married daughter-in-law's family, they are all outsiders, and things like sweet potato fans can't be learned by others!
Although Xiao Mingfu said that the fans had already recorded it in the book, Patriarch Lin didn't care about it.

Whether the aristocratic landlords want to be fans or not, the ordinary people can't stop them. Patriarch Lin only knows that there are no farmers who can make fans in these ten miles and eight villages-no one can make fans of any kind.

The fans that appeared in the town came from other towns.

And now, they, Linjiazhuang, know how to make sweet potato fans!
This time, their entire village has 16 acres of sweet potato land, and each family has harvested a total of [-] catties of sweet potatoes!In the Tang Dynasty, there were [-] taels per catty. Converted into modern calculations, it would be [-] catties!

Although in terms of modern production, Datang, which does not have all kinds of fertilizers, has lost more than half of its harvest.But for ordinary people who could only harvest one or two stones (that is, about 120 to 240 catties) of grain per mu of land in the past, the yield of sweet potatoes is already invincible in the universe!

Even if they don't become fans, every household only eats sweet potatoes, and they don't have to worry about starving to death.

It's just that sweet potatoes are less resistant to storage than potatoes, and the climate in Zhang County is hot and humid after all, and it's not like in the north where you can dig a cellar for storage.If a cellar is dug out in Yan County, it must be damp and moldy!

Therefore, if it cannot be further processed, whether it is potatoes or sweet potatoes, it is not as good as corn and rice.

Since last year, the county government has summoned elders and Lizhengs from all towns and towns every three months to teach them the knowledge of agricultural cultivation. Among them, it was mentioned that sprouted potatoes are inedible and poisonous.

Although germinated sweet potatoes are not as poisonous as potatoes, because this is a humid and hot county, germination is often accompanied by mildew, so they are naturally inedible.

Therefore, after discussing with Lin Wanwan, Xiao Chong wrote a publicity plan that directly publicized that sprouted sweet potatoes should not be eaten.

Because you can't expect illiterate people to tell the difference, just make one size fits all.

Now Linjiazhuang can process sweet potatoes into sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato starch, both of which are much easier to store than sweet potatoes themselves, whether they are exchanged in the town for money, or hidden at home, it is fine.

So when it comes to making sweet potato starch and sweet potato vermicelli, the women in Linjiazhuang are all very motivated!

In order to keep it secret, Patriarch Lin didn't even allow unmarried girls to participate in the production.In the opinion of Patriarch Lin, compared to the daughter of the Lin family who will marry out in the future, the daughter-in-law of the Lin family who married into the Lin family manor is her own.

Although there was talk of divorce in towns and wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, and Tang law also supported it, there was absolutely no talk of divorce in the countryside, not even divorce.It's not easy for Tian Shelang to marry a wife. Is it for the purpose of giving up after spending so much money to get it back?

So once a woman marries into the Lin family, she will be born as the Lin family and die as the ghost of the Lin family.

Lin Wanwan naturally felt wronged by the girls, so she advised the patriarch Lin not to be like this, since both men and women belong to the Lin family village!
