Quick Transmigration's Extraordinary Routine

Chapter 307 The Old Farm Lady (20)

After the decision was made, the family began to pack their things.Seeing that they were packing their luggage, Qingyao quickly said, "You should move all your clothes and valuables. I'm afraid you won't be able to come back for two months." In fact, she has never been able to come back. She can't Say it to death, otherwise the whole family won't go out.

"How long does it take?"

"Mother, I planted ten acres of land. And this kind of food is not easy to dig, so it takes a long time. Take your valuables and clothes with you. Otherwise, there will not be enough for a change of clothes."

"That's fine." Then the whole family went to pack their luggage.

Three days later, Qing Yao brought Liu Xiong and the others back home.

Back home, it was already evening.

Yu Yifeng and the others helped arrange the luggage.

The three brothers of the Yu family went to rest in one room, Yu Huimin and Qing Yao lived in one room, Liu Xiong and Yue Dongmei lived in one room, Liu He and Xu Juhua lived in one room, and Liu Qin and Liu Xu lived in one room.

After the arrangement was made, Qingyao cooked a big meal.Fortunately, she bought some tables and benches in advance and came home, otherwise there would be too many people and she would not be able to sit down.After eating and drinking, he boiled water and took a bath.

The whole family went to rest and sleep.

The next day, except for the two who were going to school, the others went to dig sweet potatoes with hoes and baskets on their backs.

When they got to the field, Qingyao demonstrated first, "Cut the sweet potato vines first, and then take two people to cut the sweet potato vines first."

"And when digging, try to dig as deep as possible. The sweet potatoes grow underground." When the hoe goes down, it turns up.The sweet potatoes came out with the strength of the hoe.

Look at the round, big sweet potatoes.Everyone was surprised.

"This is sweet potato. There are seven or eight kinds of this first one. It grows really well."

Of course, she can use crop nutrients.Otherwise, this wasteland has just been reclaimed, and it can grow so big.

Qing Yao took a sickle and peeled one.Then break it into small pieces for everyone to taste. "Does it have a sweet taste? The sweet potato can be eaten raw, boiled, roasted, fried, boiled in soup, or made into sweet potato flour or dried sweet potato."

"And sweet potatoes invigorate the spleen and qi, widen the intestines and laxatives, produce body fluids and quench thirst. It is also good for the body."

"There are many storage methods. Put it in a cool and ventilated place, sprinkle with plant ash, and it can be stored for one to two months. You can also dig a cellar for storage."

Yue Dongmei said, "I never thought there would be so many ways to eat it."

"There are many ways to eat."

After that, the two cut the sweet potato vines, two picked the sweet potatoes, and the others dug.

At about 11 o'clock, Qing Yao took Yu Huimin home early to cook dinner.

The others had almost finished digging, and they returned with baskets and baskets on their backs.Met a lot of people on the road.

A certain aunt asked, "Afeng, what are you growing? Why haven't you seen it before?"

"This is sweet potato."

"Sweet potato? This head is really big, can this be eaten?"

"Of course it can be eaten." Yu Yifeng smiled and nodded, "Anything can be done."

After chatting for a while, Yu Yifeng and the others went back first.

Others were still discussing, feeling that the sweet potatoes were pretty good, and they didn't listen to what Fengwazi said, they just dug half an acre of land.Half an acre of land already weighs about 1500 catties.

Tsk tsk, their rice is only about 1000 catties per mu.Half an acre of sweet potatoes is as much as one acre of land, which is much better than rice.

I don't know if I can ask the Yu family for some seeds, and they will plant this sweet potato next year.

After digging sweet potatoes for three days, the whole family was exhausted.Qingyao felt that this was not a solution. She dug up sweet potatoes and went home to cook.It is very tiring.

The rest of the village should have finished their work, so she just paid for the help of the people in the village.

After thinking about it, Qingyao asked Yu Yifeng to invite the village chief to his home for dinner.

The village head came to Qingyao's house and waited for lunch.Qing Yao was only talking about business.

"Village Chief, you should also know that I have planted a new crop called sweet potatoes in the wasteland."

"Our whole family is too busy, and now I want to ask people in the village to help collect it together, digging a hundred catties and 200 copper coins."

"When the harvest is over, I plan to tell the county magistrate how to grow sweet potatoes. At that time, I can give priority to selling these sweet potatoes to people in the village, and the seeds are not expensive. Seeds cost 10 copper coins per catty. I will also teach people in the village. How to plant it. Village head, please help inform everyone, if you are willing to help, come to my house to register in the afternoon."

"Ms. Liu, are you really willing to teach the people in the village how to grow?"

"Of course the village chief. The people in the village are not very rich. It would be better if everyone is rich."

"Okay, okay, I'll let everyone know right away. By the way, your wages are a little too much. They go to the town to work for 30 copper coins for a day. You dig 200 catties for [-] copper coins. They have to do a good job." It's been a few days."

"That's it, women don't know much about the market, so how much do you decide is suitable for the village chief?"

The village chief stroked his beard and said, "Just give me 30 copper coins for digging a hundred catties. Besides, you will teach them how to grow sweet potatoes in the future. They should help you for free."

"It's fine for free, but it's better to pay for the help. Then, as the village chief said, 30 copper coins per [-] catties."

"Okay, I'll inform everyone right away." The village chief walked out of Qingyao's house in good spirits.

After a while, the village chief gathered the people in the village and told the story.

Everyone knows that Qingyao's family wants to recruit workers to dig sweet potatoes, and 30 copper coins per [-] catties.Everyone thought about how many people they could send out to dig. If they dug a few hundred catties a day, they would earn hundreds of copper coins.

Later, I heard from the village head that the Zuyu family was willing to teach them how to grow sweet potatoes, and also gave priority to selling their seeds, and every family was even more happy.

After the village chief finished speaking, many people ran to the end of the village first. They had to go to register first. If they didn't recruit so many people, they wouldn't be able to make money if they went late.

In the afternoon, more than 60 households had been registered on Qingyao's registration paper.

In the evening, there are still people to register.By the next day, a total of 82 families came to help.

Qingyao asked Yu Yifeng and two nephews to teach the villagers how to dig sweet potatoes.There are still 5 acres of sweet potato fields left, and she has planted 3 acres of potatoes.Collect the sweet potatoes first, and let them collect the potatoes.

Qingyao went to the town to buy a large scale that would only be bought by a pig butcher.It is not a problem to weigh two or three hundred catties at a time.

In the evening, every household lined up to weigh sweet potatoes.The scale was weighed on the spot, and Qingyao gave the money on the spot.

When the money comes, the villagers are happy.At first they were worried that the Yu family would not be able to come up with the money.Now they don't have to worry about getting the money.

Thinking about whether to dig early tomorrow, there is not much land left.

It was getting dark, and Yu Shan walked to Qingyao's house with a basket on his back.Followed by a seven-year-old child was Yu An, who was also carrying a big pannier, and the heavy pannier bent his back.

"Afeng, hurry up and help the old man catch it." Qingyao helped catch Yu An's back basket.
