Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 378 The New Year

Da Huzi and Er Gouzi hurriedly left without staying for a few days. They said that they should have left a long time ago. The price of staying a few more days is that they have to hurry up in the future.

As winter passes and spring comes, everything begins to recover. The small mountain village that has been silent for a winter gradually glows with its original vitality. The branches sprout buds, and the grass on the ground gradually sprouts a head.

The snow water flowed into the river along the gully, and the people in the village happily began to prepare for spring plowing, but Xia Qinghe began to worry. She was very concerned about the matter that Da Huzi said. To solve several important problems, eating is the most critical.

She wanted Xiao Chu to come back as soon as possible, so although she knew that it would be extremely difficult under the current conditions to make a convenient fan, she still wanted to give it a try.

But if you want to go smoothly, you must plan from the beginning. The first point is to ensure the supply of sweet potatoes. Now she is just a small workshop. It is easy to feel the lack of productivity in real production. Last winter She just felt that this is not going to work, and she must act quickly to ensure the quantity.

She has been thinking about this for the past few days, and Zhu Xiao was a little worried when she saw that Xia Qinghe was sullen, but with Qinglian's encouragement, she finally mustered up her courage,

Xia Qinghe sat in the yard basking in the sun, staring at the stone roller in a daze.

It is an advantage that the mountain village is close to the river, but it is some distance away from the town. The purchased sweet potatoes are not convenient to transport, and it is troublesome to cross the river every time.But the advantage of the village is that the land is relatively large, and she can build houses as she pleases.

Zhu Xiaochang squatted beside Xia Qinghe worriedly and said, "Qinghe, what are you doing? How can you be unhappy?"

Xia Qinghe turned her head and stared at Zhu Xiaochang earnestly, and answered the wrong question: "You said it would be too late to rent the land now."

Zhu Xiaochang couldn't understand what she said, and Zhu Xiaochang was full of doubts: "What are you renting the land for?"

Xia Qinghe felt that it was unrealistic to rent land, and it was more troublesome to hire people, and sweet potatoes were not a high-value cash crop, so he bit his lips and said, "Take a few people to the nearby villages in ten miles and eight towns tomorrow, and say that this year If I grow sweet potatoes, I will buy them all, and the other company will set a certain amount, for example, if they can sell me a thousand catties, I will reward them with more money, and if there is starch, I will also give priority to buying, as long as the things are good, I can buy as much as I can."

She had to guarantee the quantity, thinking that if she ran from all over the world, she hoped to have some results.

Fortunately, the acquisition of her in the past two years has a good reputation here, and many people still believe in her. The more they think about it, the more they feel that they need to explain to Zhu Xiaochang.

Qinglian was very worried that Xia Qinghe would not be able to make so many purchases. After all, sweet potatoes are easy to spoil, and if the purchases are not completed quickly, it will be troublesome.

She felt that it was necessary to remind Xia Qinghe: "Qinghe, you bought so many sweet potatoes, wouldn't it be a waste if you can't finish them by then?"

Zhu Xiaochang must be on Qinglian's side. They were busy for more than a month last year. If Xia Qinghe's publicity is followed this year, there will be more people. Can they be busy then?With doubts: "Qinghe, I think Qinglian is right. If you buy so much, if you can't make starch, it will be wasted."

Xia Qinghe understood what the two of them were worried about, and comforted them with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, just invite more people at that time, we have to do some preparatory work before that, you must make a good publicity, let everyone sell sweet potatoes Here we are, this year we don't want washed sweet potatoes, we need unwashed sweet potatoes."

Since the quantity is large, it must be convenient for storage, and if she wants to store it, she has to bring mud to store it together, and she also needs a cellar, a cellar with a large storage capacity, and when she thinks of the cellar, Xia Qinghe suddenly becomes happy, and she came here only after thinking of it At that time, the cave she lived in, the front half of the cave was flat and suitable for storing sweet potatoes, but the only thing was that it was too far away from here. She thought she had solved a big problem, but in the end she still faced a problem, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.

"What's the matter with you, Qinghe?" Zhu Xiaochang looked at Xia Qinghe worriedly. He was very happy to see Xia Qinghe just now, but he didn't understand that Xia Qinghe suddenly became decadent.

Xia Qinghe glanced at Zhu Xiaochang and said, "Do you think it's okay if I dig a big cellar? It's used to store sweet potatoes."

Every household in the village stores sweet potatoes, and every household has a cellar.

She was thinking of digging a particularly large cellar to store sweet potatoes, so that she would not have to worry about rotting. As long as the sweet potatoes in the cellar were stored well, they could be kept in the next spring. Such a long period of time was enough for her to finish processing all the sweet potatoes. .

Zhu Xiaochang was not familiar with digging cellars, so he couldn't answer Xia Qinghe, and said: "I don't understand this, but I can ask my father, he is familiar with these things, last year I saw that my father's sweet potatoes can be managed for a long time, summer Sometimes the sweet potatoes in the cellar are still edible."

Qinglian on the side patted Zhu Xiaochang on the head and reprimanded: "I'm right next to you, you can just ask me, Qinghe, my father is very good at digging cellars, so I will ask Dongmei to call him, and he will give you Say it better."

Xia Qinghe rejoiced in her heart, and she smiled: "I originally thought of using a cave for storage, but I thought that the cave is too far away from my home and it is not suitable. The cellar is suitable for digging near my home. If this problem is solved, then the purchase of sweet potatoes can be solved. A small part of the problem has been solved, and the sweet potato dregs will be given away if anyone needs them, and we will keep them if no one needs them.”

Thinking of sending sweet potato dregs, Xia Qinghe felt that maybe he could find a way to make something out of the sweet potato dregs. In fact, many people couldn't afford to eat. The sweet potato dregs just extracted the starch, which was better than eating bark.

After helping Xiao Chu, her awareness became deeper and deeper, and she felt that she should do her best to help everyone with her own strength. Although she is not a very great person, at least she can do something for everyone. Well, she couldn't use up the sweet potato dregs by herself.

"Actually, we can dry sweet potato dregs, and we can eat them after cooking. Although our conditions are better now, many people in many places don't eat them. Sweet potatoes are their staple food. Selling them means eating a lot. Other things, the taste of wild vegetables is not as good as sweet potatoes." Qinglian has had a hard time, so she is very concerned about this matter, and she also hopes to help others.

Zhu Xiaochang clapped his hands and said, "Qinghe, aren't you worried that people won't sell it to us? In this way, when I went to publicize, I said that as long as you come to sell sweet potatoes, we can give sweet potato residues, and one hundred catties of sweet potatoes will give ten catties of sweet potato residues."
