After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun took advantage of this time to take the rice that had been planted in the space to the town and sell it, freeing up some space.

Bai Qingyun did not leave the space idle, but planted potatoes one after another. After the crops in the fields were harvested, there were no suitable crops to plant. It would be a pity to leave these fields there. It would be better to plant potatoes on them so that when winter comes, there will be more food for the winter.

Potatoes are not picky about the type of land they grow; they can grow in loose, fertile, well-drained soil.

At first, Bai Qingyun just wanted to plant potatoes on the two acres of land at home. After the promotion and sale of the magic tofu, the performance of the villagers in Dayang Village made Bai Qingyun feel relieved. He then decided to plant more seeds so that he could grow potatoes with the villagers.

Bai Qingyun discovered that the system's space-time laws are self-contained. The time flow rate in the planting area is fast, which is conducive to the growth of crops, while the time flow rate in the warehouse is static, which helps to keep the things put in fresh.

Previously, potatoes were stored in warehouses for preservation, but it is better to plant potatoes after they have sprouted.

Although potatoes will sprout if they are cut into pieces and planted directly into the soil, the germination rate cannot be guaranteed. Bai Qingyun simply uses the convenience of space to directly increase the germination rate.

After the busy farming season, the villagers are more relaxed, their granaries are fuller, and every household will change their frugal ways and have a good meal.

In comparison, Bai Qingyun's family seemed rather plain.

The school in the town was closed for three days, and the three brothers of the Bai family started studying every day again.

Bai's father drove the ox cart to the town to deliver fish early in the morning. The three brothers of the Bai family no longer had to walk to the school every day, and they could save a lot of time every day. All this was thanks to the convenience of the ox cart.

Bai's mother got up early to wash clothes for the whole family. Fortunately, Grandpa Bai had foresight and dug a well in the yard when building the house, which made life much more convenient.

Grandma Bai made egg fried rice early in the morning with a large pot of leftover rice from last night. There were not many side dishes, but every grain of rice was coated with egg liquid and fried with lard. When it was served, it was sprinkled with chives that had just been picked from the vegetable garden in the yard this morning. It was delicious!

It is called leftover rice, but in fact it is a big pot of rice that Grandma Bai specially steamed for dinner yesterday. She can make fried rice with eggs for the whole day in the morning, saving time.

That’s right, it’s one day’s food ration for five people excluding the three brothers!

When they went hunting in the mountains before, Bai's father and Bai Qingyun discovered a valley while chasing a sika deer. In the valley, there was a large field of sugarcane, which was now ripe.

When Bai Qingyun bought cakes in the county town before, he specifically learned about Dazhao's sugar-making process.

An important raw material for making Dazhao sugar is grain.

People make foods such as maltose by fermenting and saccharifying grains.

The method of making maltose is to ferment grains such as sorghum and millet to make "qu", and then use "qu" to saccharify various steamed and cooked rice, barley, millet, sorghum, glutinous rice, corn, etc., and then filter and fry them to get a candy rich in maltose. This kind of candy was originally called "tang" or "yi". People call block maltose tang, and thin maltose yi.

People at this time did not use the technology of making sugar from sugarcane. Sugarcane was just a fruit that quenched thirst but did not fill the stomach, so it was not planted on a large scale.

This also led to the high price of sugar in Dazhao. Ordinary people seldom drank sugar water. Instead, honey collected from the mountains was more common than sugar water.

After Bai Qingyun told his family that sugarcane could be used to make sugar, he quickly gained the support of everyone in the family.

The fried rice was out of the pot and Bai's father came back from town. The family quickly had breakfast and picked up their tools to go up the mountain.

With Bai Qingyun's space, everyone's equipment for going up the mountain was much simpler. Everyone held a knife for cutting sugarcane in their hands and a water bag on their waist, so they could go into battle lightly.

As for the prepared lunch, pack them up separately and put them in a static space in the space. It is not only convenient, but also will be hot when you take it out at noon!

The family went up the mountain in the morning glow. It was common for the Bai family to go up the mountain. The family used to make a living by hunting, so the five of them walked very fast. With the memory of Bai's father and Bai Qingyun, they soon found the hidden entrance to the valley.

The valley was quiet, with the occasional bird calls being very pleasant to the ears. Along with the green leaves on the sugarcane dancing in the wind, the unexpected harmony resembled a large symphony.

The people had no experience in cutting sugarcane, and their families had never planted it. At this time, the knowledgeable Grandpa Bai took over the baton and divided the work among everyone.

Sugarcane needs to be uprooted because this ensures that the nutrients in the sugarcane are not lost and that the sugarcane retains its moisture to the maximum extent. This practice also helps to extend the shelf life of the sugarcane by allowing the sugarcane to retain nutrients on the root system and maintain its freshness. If the sugarcane is cut without uprooting it, it may cause the sugarcane to lose moisture quickly, affecting its sweetness and taste.

Secondly, if you want to promote the growth of new seedlings, you also need to uproot the sugarcane when you cut it. This will allow new seedlings to grow from the buds underground, so that the new seedlings can take root in the soil from an early age and absorb water and nutrients. Such new seedlings are usually stronger, grow better, and have strong wind and drought resistance. If you leave a section on the soil surface when cutting the old sugarcane, new seedlings will grow from the buds on the stubble on the soil surface, but in this case the new roots may not be able to take root in the soil smoothly and need to rely on the old sugarcane roots for support.

The land was a little dry at this time, and it required some effort and bending over for a long time, so it was left to Mr. and Mrs. Bai.

Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai used knives to trim the sugarcane leaves and roots.

There is a lot of sugarcane in the entire valley. When we take it home for pruning and processing, we have to deal with the piled up sugarcane leaves, which will also delay the progress of sugar production.

Everyone decided to do it in one go and trim the uprooted sugarcane directly on site, which would only require a few more days of work in the valley.

Although Bai Qingyun is young, he is very strong. He neatly tied up the smooth and trimmed sugarcane piled up by the two elders with vines, and then quickly put them into the warehouse in the space for storage.

The family was busy like this for five days before all the sugarcane forests in the valley were cut down and the warehouse in the space was filled with sugarcane. The Panda System enjoyed it. Apart from grilled fish, its greatest joy every day was chewing sugarcane. The sweet juice flowed from the corners of its mouth, was caught by its protruding belly, and stuck to its hair after drying.

It was the first time that Bai Qingyun saw a system getting a haircut in the space out of boredom. After learning the truth, he laughed so hard that he fell backwards. This laugh was probably all the merits of the past seven years.

Finally, with a resentful expression on the system's face, he went to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water for him to take a bath in as atonement.
