A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

I don’t know if chickens and ducks were used to deal with locusts before this dynasty.

Although there are a few households in the village that raise chickens and ducks, the number is small, usually only three or four, and most of them are domestically raised. The villagers cut grass from outside and then feed them.

During the many days that Chen Changsheng came here, he never saw anyone else driving chickens and ducks outside to look for food. He was probably afraid that they would be stolen.

In order to complete her homework more comprehensively, she summoned the virtual bracelet and spent ten calories searching for locust control methods in "Beep and You'll Know". She clicked on each item and browsed carefully, and she really saw it. About using natural enemies to control locusts.

This is what it says in "Locust Eradication": (The locusts) are not yet free from flight, and ducks can eat them. Hundreds of ducks will enter the rice fields, and the locusts will be gone in an instant, which is also the same method as catching locusts in the south of the Yangtze River.

It seemed that the method of chickens and ducks to deal with locusts was indeed feasible, so he had to discuss it with Li Zheng quickly.

Chen Changsheng quickened his pace and headed towards Li Zheng's house. On the way, he saw Aunt Ma coming out of a house and walking towards him, looking a little worried on her face.

"Aunt Ma."

Ma Daju had just come out from someone else's house to collect the ground vegetables, and when she was anxious and didn't know what to do, she heard someone calling her, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Chen Changsheng.

She walked over quickly and said, "Dafu Niang, I just went to the east entrance of the village. I heard that you bought a bullock cart. Congratulations." Then he hesitated and tried to ask, "Dafu Niang, Didn't you buy that ox cart just to deliver local vegetables?"

Chen Changsheng nodded, but saw that Aunt Ma seemed to have something to say, "Aunt Ma, what's the matter?"

Ma Daju thought about it and said, "Today I went to each house to collect vegetables. Originally, each house could collect more than ten kilograms. I don't know what happened today. The women in the village only had seven or eight kilograms on hand." catty."

Although she could still hold the full fifty kilograms, the amount suddenly decreased, and she was worried that something had happened.

"Why is this?" Chen Changsheng was puzzled.

The price I gave for recycling the vegetables was one penny per catty. With such a good price, it stands to reason that the women and children in the village would pick more and earn more than ten pence as long as they had free time.

"Later, when I asked about it, those women said they saw several women from the Zhaojia Village next door in the mountains. Dafu Niang, do you think they were picked off by the neighboring village?" Aunt Ma speculated.

You can't eat much of the ground vegetables when you pick them. They have an earthy smell, and you can't sell them for a good price. There are very few people picking them on weekdays. If it weren't for the Chen family's sister-in-law to develop that delicious dish, who would No one will notice.

People from Zhaojia Village suddenly came out to pick. If they could also develop Sister-in-law Chen's dishes, wouldn't they cut off the wealth of the people in their own village?

Thinking of this, Aunt Ma asked nervously, "Dafu Niang, do you think the people in Zhaojia Village will also make delicious ground vegetables and steal your business?"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family just bought a bullock cart. If someone robs her business, she will lose a lot of money.

Chen Changsheng was not worried that someone would be better at making this dish than she was. After all, the seasonings in this dynasty were not rich enough and there were no chili peppers. At most, dogwood was used instead, but the taste was always a little worse.

But this incident did give her some ideas.

Not to mention that the people of Zhaojia Village interfered and ruined their own business, even the vegetables from this field would be picked one day. It grows in a special environment and will only appear in wet grassland and wet shoals after rain. If it doesn't rain for several days or encounters a long-term drought, it won't be picked.

The technology for artificially cultivating ground vegetables is not yet mature enough. If the daily picking volume cannot keep up, supply will stop sooner or later. It seems that we have to find another way out.

It is better to simply grow, sell, and fry bean sprouts yourself.

During this period, every time Chen Changsheng went to the city, he would pay special attention to what kinds of vegetables were available in this dynasty. They were usually those that came from the ground, but not those that were grown or processed. She had never seen soybean sprouts.

I bought 800 kilograms of soybeans at once today. In addition to the daily amount of tofu, there is enough left over to grow bean sprouts. Moreover, bean sprouts are very easy to grow, and Chen Changsheng can do it himself.

Once you have decided on it, you have to hurry up and do it.

"Aunt Ma, how many kilograms of ground vegetables have we collected?"

Ma Daju recalled it for a moment and said, "Including what we just harvested today, the total is more than 120 kilograms."

"Auntie, please tell all the women in the village. I will harvest as much as they pick every day. The more, the better."

Chen Changsheng's original plan was to harvest about sixty kilograms a day. After picking this area, he would pick again when a new layer of ground vegetables grew. This way, he could maintain a long-term cycle, but now the people in Zhaojiacun are competing with her. , then she is not allowed to take her time.

"Received it all? We only fry fifty pounds a day, will it rot if we keep so much left on our hands?" Ma Daju didn't understand.

Ground vegetables are already wet when picked and cannot be stored for too long.

Chen Changsheng raised the corner of his lips and smiled, "In addition to the fifty pounds that I use every morning, I also ask my aunt to help me wash the rest and dry them all while the weather is good."

Fresh radishes cannot be preserved, so dry the radishes in the sun and then store them. When needed, just soak them in water.

Bean sprouts are relatively simple to grow. It takes about seven or eight days to grow once. So use this time to stock up on enough ground vegetables for seven or eight days. When the bean sprouts grow, you can continue the bean sprout business.

Seeing Chen Changsheng's confident look, Aunt Ma was no longer as worried as she was at first. Sister-in-law Chen was much more powerful than she was, and there would always be a way. According to what she said, she was right.

"Okay, I'll go back now and ask Tiedan and Dongmei to go to every house and talk to the boys, girls and women, so that everyone in the village can tell each other." After saying that, he was about to leave. go back.

We must not hold Dafu Niang back.

"There is one more thing I need to ask Aunt Ma for help." Chen Changsheng said with a serious look, "Auntie, please ask privately in the village to find out who revealed the matter of picking ground vegetables in our village."

After hearing what Chen Changsheng said, Ma Daju's expression suddenly became solemn.

Before, she thought that a woman from the village went to the mountains to pick vegetables and was accidentally discovered by the people of Zhaojia Village. But after thinking about it carefully, in the past years, no one picked the vegetables. Now, people in Zhaojia Village suddenly picked them in large numbers. Could it be that Someone leaked the news and deliberately told the news to other villages.

The Chen family's sister-in-law is good at doing business and making money. She doesn't hide it, and even brings the women in the village to make money. Who would be jealous of such a good person?

Who is behind the scenes to plot against the Chen family's sister-in-law?
