Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 55 A bumper harvest of yam

In the month since he asked people to work, Li Dashan's thoughts have actually changed a lot.

There is endless work to do, endless money to make, and it is meaningless if the money earned is not spent!
Looking at the skin color and body shape of his daughter and daughter-in-law, who had not fully recovered in a month, he decided that in the future, if he could hire someone to do the work in the fields, he would hire someone!
However, the two of them will still have to work hard to dig the yam!
Li Qingzhu: ...I have no sense of existence with my father.

On October 21, Li Dashan's family started a new round of "sneaking around" from dawn to dusk.

Because he had dug some in advance, Li Dashan was "prepared" for this harvest. He was a family of four and had all the tools!

Li Xiao took the tools her father specially prepared for her, and she was indeed quite good at it.

Digging yam is not an easy task, because for the first time, everyone was very slow, and even so, a lot of them were broken.

After five full days, only a little more than half of the half-acre of yam was harvested. Of course, the rest was harvested by the two little ones.

I collected about a hundred kilograms back and forth.

On the sixth day, it rained, so the family simply rested at home, and by the way, they processed the dug yams and the reed heads, waiting for spring to come to the ground!
On October 27th and 28th, Li Dashan delivered the yams dug in the previous five days to Jishi Hall twice.

The two purchases totaled 980 kilograms, but Jishitang still charged 29 taels per kilogram and sold for [-] taels and [-] kilograms.

When he got the money, Li Dashan thought, this is what hard-earned money should look like.

Kirin fruit and pepper money came in too quickly, which always made him feel unreal.

If Li Xiao knew what her father was thinking, she would definitely say: Poverty limits your imagination!
On day 28, Li Dashan did not go home directly after delivering the yam.

I went to West Street to buy some things I needed at home, and some snacks for my daughter. Then I ate a bowl of wonton stew and drove to the school.

The day before the school holiday, classes ended early, so classes ended on the sixth day of the lunar month, in order to make it easier for students who live far away from home to travel.Li Dashan picked up the brothers and it was still early when they got home, so Li Xiao pestered her brothers to tell her about the school.

Li Qingsong told her some of the articles that the master talked about seriously. Although she could understand the meaning, it made her a little tired to listen to them.

Li Qingzhu, on the other hand, listened to them chatting for a while and then went to help with the work.

Li Xiao was a little curious, but when he looked at the eldest and second brothers, he didn't see anything strange, so he didn't think more about it.

The last two days of October were sunny.Li Dashan's family squatted neatly in the mountains digging dirt!

In two days, it was estimated that more than 500 kilograms were dug out, and the rest could be collected by four people in two days.

On the evening of the last day of October, after digging yam all day and rushing to send the two brothers back to school, it was almost late in the afternoon when Li Dashan returned home.

Li Dashan, who was too tired to move while hugging his wife, once again felt the benefits of hiring someone to do the work!

No matter what, they will continue to be busy this year.

It took another two days, hurriedly and slowly, to collect all the yams. After packing the reed heads, they estimated that they weighed about [-] kilograms.

Although there were still some reed seeds left, Li Xiao still asked his parents to pick some more suitable seeds to save.

For one thing, no one knows how many people in the village can ask for; for another, Li Xiao is not sure about the quantity of seedlings. Who is to say that she is not a professional?
Anyway, it’s good to prepare more. At worst, the two acres of dry land we originally had will be planted; if not, there will still be more than ten acres of paddy fields!
After selling out the last of the yams, Li Dashan’s family harvested the last two crops of unicorn fruits at the beginning and end of November, and finally had some free time when the winter months came.
