Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 44 Sweet Potatoes
After working for almost two days, Li Xin's family's acre of rice was finally harvested.Although it is hard work, the rewards are still worthy of joy.

An acre of rice harvested more than eight stones. Li Xin thought that it was a relatively good yield. Although the field was relatively fertile, she also took care of it with all her heart. After all, she didn't apply any fertilizer.If some fertilizer can be put in, there should be a higher output!This kind of output was not a high figure in the previous life, but it was enough to surprise Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang.

Both Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were very happy, as if they were in Dafeng Harvest's own family.However, Li Xin was also very happy to have such a harvest, so he packed a sumptuous dinner for Uncle Zhang's family to eat.

After dinner, and talking and laughing for a long time, Uncle Zhang's family finally went back.Li Xin got Uncle Zhang a torch. She stood at the door and watched the torch go away before turning around and entering the door.She still told Uncle Zhang's family not to tell about the high grain yield.If this matter gets out, many people will definitely come to ask her for seeds to plant.Although she can repeat what she told Uncle Zhang and the others, others may not believe it. If she doesn't give it, some people will definitely think that she is hiding something.So it's best to try not to spread the word!Try for another year, as long as there is a harvest, it can be promoted.

When September entered, the rice in the village had already turned yellow, and it was golden everywhere. The sounds of "bang bang" came one after another, and the villagers were very busy.And the crops in the remaining seven acres of Li Xin's field can already be harvested, the three acres of rice are already golden, and the two acres of corn can already be harvested, and the sweet potatoes can also be dug.

Li Xin was too busy for a while, so she took Yuexiang to break the corn first.Among the few jobs, only breaking corn is a little easier.The fragrance of the moon was breaking, and Li Xin moved to the house one after another.She doesn't have much strength, so she can only carry half of the basket each time.Corn grows well. After all, corn doesn't pick and choose the environment. It can grow well even on high mountains, and it's better to plant it in the field.

The corn cobs are all very big, one big stick and one big stick, and the corn kernels are also big and big, which makes people like it when they look at it.There can be two corns on every corn plant, and there can be three corns if there are more.Because he wanted to save the seeds, Li Xin didn't want to break the corn and eat it when it was tender, but he still didn't know how the corn tasted, and when he would try it.Li Xin remembered that in his previous life, it was difficult to grow rice on some high mountains, so corn became the staple food, and those people ate cornmeal all year round.She had tasted it before, and the taste was really not very good. For her who always ate white rice, it was really hard to swallow.

But there is no way, even if it is not very delicious, it is still food!Whether it's delicious or not, it's better to have something to eat than to be hungry.

Li Xin and Yuexiang worked hard for a few days before breaking all the corn, but the corn stalks have not been processed yet.Don't worry about that, wait until all the food is packed, and then get it!After breaking the corn, the two sisters began to dig up the sweet potatoes slowly.A few days later, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's rice harvest was also late, so he came to help Li Xin's family harvest.After another two days, the village chief's house was also busy, so the village chief called a few men from the village to come and help.

Li Xin began to deeply feel that the family really should hire someone. Now that there is only so little land in the house, she is already too busy to cope.Over the past few days, even taking care of the crops, she has worked very hard.Fortunately, there are people to help when planting and harvesting. Otherwise, when she gets busy by herself, the grain will rot in the ground.Although the villagers came back to help now, it was not a long-term solution.

Life is your own, you can't always count on other people's help!Others can come to help once, twice, for one or two years, but they always need help from others, and others will be annoying.We should see if we can hire some long-term workers next year.There are many people and strength, within a few days, all the rice and sweet potatoes in Li Xin's house were cleaned up, and even the corn stalks were helped to look at them.Li Xin's family didn't have any pigs or cattle, so they asked those who needed them to take them back.

They are all from the village, Li Xin wants to pay wages, and everyone does not want it.Li Xin packed a sumptuous meal to greet everyone.The rice output of the three mu of the family is no different from that of others. The three mu of land has only harvested nine stones of rice, which is almost the same as the previous one mu of rice.On the contrary, the yield of sweet potatoes is very high. Although it is not as high as that of the Spring Department, it has harvested more than 7000 catties from two acres of land, and a hill has been piled up in the yard.

Not to mention several knots per plant, the size is not small, and the yield is naturally high.The people who came to help looked at it and liked it very much. I didn't expect that such a humble thing could have such a high output!Naturally, everyone wants to see it in various ways, even if they can't sell it, they can keep it for their own consumption!Li Xin also hoped that the people in the village would give it a try. Originally, sweet potatoes could be eaten as food, and they could also be made into vermicelli.Dried vermicelli can be kept for a long time, and it is also very convenient to transport. If you sell it, you can sell it to a distant place. Even if you don’t sell it, you can keep it for yourself!It can be considered as a lot of food!If the harvest is not good, it will save you from starving.

Li Xin distributed some of the cut seedlings to each family, and asked them to take them back and raise them, so they can be planted next year.Planting is also very simple. Everyone is a farmer. After Li Xin talked about it, he naturally understood.Li Xin thought that if the planting area in the village increased in the coming year, she would take everyone to make sweet potato vermicelli.

After eating, Li Xin packed up some sweet potatoes and asked everyone to take some back to taste.

After sending everyone away, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.This year's food has finally been recovered. Although the family is not waiting for this food to be cooked, it is finally a bumper harvest.

I have been busy these days and haven't been to the town to see Wenbo and Wenhao. Although I know they are all good, but I haven't seen them with my own eyes. After all, I still feel a little worried. I should go and see them.These days, the folks at Pinxiang Pavilion always come to fetch peppers and tomatoes, but they say that Wenbo and Wenhao are fine.

Pinxiangge has peppers and tomatoes, but it has set off a new revolution, and the business is very good.Shopkeeper Sun also sent a lot of peppers to Pinxiangge stores in other places. Peppers are seasonings, but they are not as fast as tomatoes, so they can save some and send them to other stores.It also drove the business of those stores. Shopkeeper Sun was very happy when he said it.
