Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

In previous years, the fields were basically idle after harvesting corn. There was not much rain here in winter, so wheat either failed to grow or did grow and then died in the sun.

So after planting it a few times, everyone was reluctant to plant it. It was a waste of grain seeds and they were struggling to grow them. If you have that kind of time, you might as well rest for two days and eat the seeds!

So after harvesting the corn, they plant some broad beans, peas or radishes.

This year's planting of sweet potatoes can be regarded as a variety of crops. Most families have eight, nine or ten acres of land, and those with a large population only have ten or twenty acres.

Take Su Ziling's family for example. Her family has fifteen acres of land. The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is about four hundred kilograms. Fifteen acres of land is six to seven thousand kilograms. One and a half penny per kilogram is eight or nine taels of silver.

Eighty-nine taels of silver, five cents per pound of brown rice, can buy more than 1,800 pounds. What other wheat and sweet potatoes are they growing?

This kind of sweet potato crop is more cost-effective than growing corn.

After someone calculated this account clearly, everyone was excited. According to this meaning, if you plant a crop of autumn potatoes now, the harvest will be as much as the entire income in previous years!

So what are you waiting for, plant it!

In this way, one family grows and every household follows suit.

The land is idle anyway, so why not use it to grow sweet potatoes!

In the past, no one knew that interplanting could be done. They only knew that they could be planted at the same time as corn, and there was only so much land. Everyone must have planted the valuable ones, so sweet potatoes usually set aside an acre of land, and some people set aside a few acres. I plan to grow it for my own consumption. The corn will basically be used to pay taxes.

Seeing that everyone was willing to try it, Su Ziling was relieved. She didn't want the sweet potato workshop to be built and just make the village's sweet potatoes.

Every household grows it, so she can make more sweet potato flour and let more people taste her sweet potato flour.

Apart from the tofu, which he had eaten twice, he had never seen any of the other dishes on the table.

Every dish hit his appetite accurately. It was spicy and appetizing, and the oil and water were very rich. Especially the vermicelli, which was full of soup. After one bite, he was confused by the aroma!

After eating this meal, he was so full that he didn't want to move.

Look at what he ate today, and then think back to what he ate before. What kind of stuff did he eat before?

Mr. Su poured him a cup of tea. Su Yongan couldn't drink it after one sip, "That's enough, that's enough. Uncle, please stop pouring it. I really can't drink it anymore."

After he finished speaking, he burped and scratched his head in embarrassment. At this time, he no longer looked carefree, and he was honest and a little shy.

"Xiao Qing's skills are really good. I haven't been able to do this for a long time. Even the chef in our restaurant doesn't make it so delicious."

Su Ziling smiled and said, "Don't say that. My cooking skills are only average. It's just that I cook things you have never tasted before. You will only find them novel when you eat them for the first time."

"No, no, no, you are really good at cooking this dish, so you really don't want to sell this green pepper egg?"

He suddenly brought up the business again, and Su Ziling couldn't hold it any longer and burst out laughing.

“There aren’t that many preserved eggs now, and there aren’t that many green peppers either, but it’s not a problem to sell them for a month.”

As for the peppers, Su Ziling still planned to let them mature and dry more peppers. Otherwise, she might not be able to eat enough just by finding them in the mountains next year.

The bulk still needs to be grown in the ground, so you can sell some green peppers, but not much.

However, she has considered selling this for a month. After one month, the hottest period will be over, and the popularity of the green pepper and eggs will drop a little. Now it is hot and the green pepper and eggs are good for rice, so everyone likes to eat them, but the weather is cold. It won’t be so popular in the future.

So selling it for a month can completely boost their restaurant business.

As for preserved eggs, only the fourth uncle's mother-in-law's family has more duck eggs now. She thought that she would go to other villages to collect some, so she changed her mind.

"This preserved egg can also be eaten cold, or used to cook preserved egg and lean meat porridge, or stir-fried in soup, so you can always have preserved eggs, but there are fewer green peppers."

"If you have green peppers, you can always sell the green pepper eggs. If not, I can only provide green peppers for one month."

"Well, the fungus paste can be sent to you on the day you go back. As for the preserved eggs, you can go back and ask first. You can come back and tell me after you get the confirmation. I'm not in a hurry." After all, pickling preserved eggs also takes time.

Su Yongan nodded, with a smile on his face, "Okay, I'll go back and ask the shopkeeper the day after tomorrow before I give you the confirmation."

He smiled even more happily when he thought that the salary could be increased to 600 cash.

After the meal was finished and the fungus paste was put in place, it was time for him to go back, so he didn't stay too long.

After all, it is the busy farming season, and if he delays for a little longer, he will have to do a lot less.

When it comes to food, harvest it one day earlier, and you’ll have peace of mind one day earlier.

Only when the food is taken back home can we really feel relieved.

After eating, Mr. Su and the others rested for a while and then went out to pick corn. They didn't let Su Ziling follow. The field had already been harvested, so they just had to bring it back.

Su Zimu went to endorse books. After lunch every day, he would be chased to practice calligraphy.

Only Su Ah Nai and A Xiu were peeling the corn in the main room. Su Ziling took a handful of dry thatch and soaked it in water. When it softened, she used it to tie the corn husks.

The bundled corn husks are placed on the rafters of the cattle pen. There is still grass that can be cut to feed the cattle, but there will be no grass in the winter. The corn husks are just saved and used to feed the cattle in the winter.

She had just tied up the corn husks, and the children picking ice powder came again. They went far away today, so they came back late.

But it's worth it. Each person carries a basket and a sack. Each weighs twenty or thirty pounds. The quantity is about the same as usual.

After selling the ice powder fruit and taking the money, the children went home in a hurry. When they went out in the morning, they knew that it was far away and they would not be able to come back in time for dinner, so they all went out with some food.

It's just that the road is far away, and with the ice powder fruit carrying twenty or thirty kilograms on their backs, their eyes are already black from hunger, but the few pennies they hold in their hands give them unlimited strength.

When he got home, just in time for dinner, Su Erlang put the money in front of his mother, ignored his hands, picked up his mother's bowl and started eating.

Seeing him wolfing down the food, Su A's face felt distressed, "Eat slowly, eat slowly."

"Mom, I'm hungry! I walked too far today, and I guess it will be even further tomorrow. I have to bring two sacks with me, otherwise I won't be able to pick much in one trip a day."

Su Erlang's mouth was stuffed and his speech was slurred.

Su Ashi got up and went to the kitchen to get the bowl of rice left for him, which also contained a piece of meat and a fried egg.

"Eat this, mom specially left it for you."

"Omelette!!!" Su Erlang's eyes lit up and his voice became much louder.

Seeing his reaction, Su Ashi was both amused and distressed, "There is still meat, come and eat more."

As he said that, he put the eggs and meat into his bowl. Su Erlang took a bite of the fried egg and said with a satisfied look on his face, "It's delicious!"

"Mom, you eat too!" He said and handed the unbitten half to Su Ashi.

"Mom has eaten, you can eat." She shook her head with a smile and poured him another glass of water.

"Bring more food tomorrow. I'll bake you two sweet potatoes, steam a vegetable bun, and boil an egg for you."

"There is still water. There is not enough water to drink today. But forget about the eggs. I am not tired from this job. How can I eat every day? You can give my father more. And you, you have been harvesting corn these days, and you have to work hard. Look how tired you are!" He said and pushed the money in front of Su A's face.

"Put this away. I think we can still pick it for about half a month. If there is nothing nearby, let's go farther and pick it. People in other villages don't know how valuable this thing is anyway."

He ate in a panic and slowed down a lot after finishing two bowls of rice.

"Yeah, how about five cents today?"

"Hehe, that's because I run fast, pick fast, and have the strength to pick more, but others are also good." Su Erlang looked proud.

"Yeah, my son is really good. He has five pennies a day, and in half a month he has seventy or eighty pennies. At the end of the month, I'll ask your fourth uncle to help bring a pound of meat, and let's try it too." Su A Shi said as he added vegetables to his bowl.
