Chapter 117 Annual Production of Ten Thousand Jin of Grain

The banquet began and various dishes cooked with potatoes were served on the table.

The fragrance almost makes everyone dizzy.

The spicy and sour potato shreds are crispy and refreshing, while the potato ribs and braised pork with potatoes are soft and tasty.

The cold shredded potatoes and potato chips are refreshing and less greasy, and the shredded potato pancakes are crispy, salty and fragrant!

The most popular ones are actually potato steamed rice and sweet potato steamed rice, one sweet and one salty, they are simply delicious!

Patriarch Wang was drooling over the spicy shredded potatoes. He took a big bite of the potato steamed rice and said with satisfaction, "This dish goes really well with rice! And the potato steamed rice, I can just eat this without the side dishes!"

Sun Chengshan couldn't stop eating, but he still said, "That's right! This bowl of potato steamed rice is half potato and half rice. Not only can the potato fill your stomach, but you can also leave some rice. It's really a good thing!"

Adults rave about dishes made with potatoes, while children and young women prefer the sweeter sweet potatoes.

Youyou and his cousins ​​sat at the children's table. Including Wang An and Sun Xiaohe, there were seven children in total.

Youyou can eat spicy food very well, but he has always been controlled and rarely eats strong food. Today he is finally free.

Among the kids at the table, only Yu Wang couldn't eat spicy food, while the others were clamoring for spicy and sour shredded potatoes.

Even in April, we were still wearing thick outerwear and were sweating from the heat.

In the end, the children's table did not lose to the adults and they finished all the food on the table.

Youyou served himself half a bowl of steamed potato rice, and then poured some of the broth from the stewed potato ribs and braised potato pork into the bowl.

He mixed it with his special spoon, then put a big mouthful of the rice into his mouth. It was so delicious that he squinted his eyes.

The other children saw this and followed her example. In the end, the children’s table didn’t have enough soup, so they used up all the soup at the adults’ table.

The angry adults wanted to curse and laugh at the same time.

However, they all secretly made up their minds to grow these new crops, if not for anything else, just to ensure that their children at home would have enough food to eat!

After the meal, the young people helped to clean up, while the older generation sat in the corner and talked.

Yu Lin originally wanted to help clean up, but was surrounded by the older generation and wouldn't let him leave.

By the way, Youyou was also kept.

During this meal, Youyou ate to his heart's content. His belly became round and his head nods as he began to doze off.

Yu Lin held her hand and asked her to stand for a while to digest the food, otherwise if she fell asleep now, she would probably have a stomachache.

Patriarch Wang said with a smile: "He can eat and sleep well. He is a blessed child!"

The topic changed and began to talk about the cultivation of these three crops.

"I won't beat around the bush. We are all going to follow your lead. We will even follow whatever your family does in the future."

Yu Lin nodded with a smile: "That's right, we are all from the same village. The Yu family will help everyone and won't leave anyone behind."

So Yu Lin told him his plan.

"Uncle Donglai, Uncle Chengshan, this is what I think. Please listen to me first. Is it okay?"

"Say it!"

"Now, in addition to the rice and wheat we planted, we also have to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. The number of households in the village is not too many, but not too few either. Take potatoes for example. I estimate that one mu of land needs 200 kilograms of potato seeds. This time, my family harvested 1,200 kilograms, which is only enough to plant six mu of land."

"I have a hundred acres of land, and this amount of potatoes is not enough for me to grow. If I give too little to others, they won't have enough to grow. If I give too much, it won't be enough for me."

"How about this? Potatoes have a short harvest time, usually about two months. I'll plant them myself this time. I can plant 1,200 kilograms of potatoes on six acres of land, and I can harvest 24,000 kilograms!"

"More than 20,000 kilograms of potato seeds are not only enough for my own family, but also enough to share with the villagers!"

A family with ten acres of land only needs to produce 2,000 kilograms of potato plants, and the annual output is 40,000 kilograms, and this is just potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have a higher yield. Based on ten acres of land, with 250 kilograms of sweet potato seeds per acre, only 2,500 kilograms are needed, and the annual output is 50,000 kilograms.

The same goes for corn. If ten acres of land produce 150 kilograms of seeds, the annual output will be 10,000 kilograms.

If you tell others that ten acres of land can produce 100,000 kilograms of grain a year, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

If there are many people in your family and you are diligent and able to endure hardships, it will be no problem to plant more than ten or twenty acres.

You should know that these three crops are not available on the market today. Once they flood into the market, they will probably be snapped up.

People in Yujia Village have eaten dishes made with potatoes and sweet potatoes, so they also believe that this thing will definitely sell well.

Even if one hundred thousand catties of grain is not sold as expensively as rice, one can still make ten taels of silver even if it is sold at one cent per catty.

You know, nowadays, if you go out to work, you only work for half a year in a year, which is still a lot. If you pay 30 cents a day, you can only earn five taels of silver if you live frugally throughout the year.

Besides, who would be so stupid as to sell food that is not available on the market at just one penny per pound?

Patriarch Wang and Sun Chengshan thought about it carefully and found that what Yu Lin said made sense.

Besides, isn’t it just a wait of more than two months?

I’ve been tightening my belt for so many years, so these two months won’t make any difference!

In addition, every household now has fields full of wheat that is almost ripe, and rice seedlings that are about to be planted.

If you want to grow new crops, you have to reclaim the land from scratch like the Yu family did.

The Yu family had money, so they asked villagers to help them reclaim the land. But the others didn't have money, so they had to reclaim the land bit by bit on their own.

Harvesting wheat, planting rice, and reclaiming wasteland all take time, and waiting two more months is not too much!

Just when Patriarch Wang and Sun Chengshan decided to agree with Yu Lin's suggestion, Yu Lin spoke again.

"There was also the issue of raising rabbits before the New Year. I remember several families asked me about it at that time. I wonder if they still have any ideas this year."

"Rabbits reproduce very quickly. If my family hadn't released some rabbits into the mountains, my front and back yards would be full of rabbits by now!"

The two rabbits that Yu Lin caught at the end of the previous year have now become old rabbits and rarely give birth to lambs.

But their offspring are more powerful. They give birth to a litter every month, with at least six or seven babies in each litter, and at most eleven or twelve, and almost all of them survive.

Last year, he not only sold a lot of rabbits to restaurants in the city, but also released a lot of them into the mountains.

There were a lot of rabbit skins and rabbit hairs at home. After nitre-forming them into leather, Liu would sew them together and sell them in the city for a good price.

Even if you don't sell them, it's still warm to make your own clothes.

So almost every part of a rabbit is a treasure.

After hearing Yu Lin mention this, Patriarch Wang asked, "You asked me to ask you a few days ago. What are your plans?"

The Yu family makes money by raising rabbits, which is enviable. Some people even go to the mountains to catch rabbits and raise them themselves.

Not to mention that this rabbit is difficult to catch, even if you catch it, it is difficult to raise it.

If he doesn't eat or drink, he will die soon. He is so delicate!
