Mind Reading: Koi Cub brings script to save the whole family

Yuliang organized a convoy early and took the brothers Lu Dashan and Lu Xiaoshan, as well as some temporarily recruited workers, back to the village.

Every family planted several acres of potatoes, and the second branch of the Yu family planted the most.

Yu Lin is not in a hurry, go to help someone else first.

The people brought by Yuliang also helped, and their wages were paid by Yuliang.

It took five days to harvest 400,000 kilograms of potatoes. It took another two days for the second branch of the Yu family to harvest 80,000 kilograms of potatoes!

The surplus grain was purchased at the market price set in advance, two cents per catty.

The Yu family's eldest branch had six acres of potatoes and harvested 24,000 kilograms. They kept 4,000 kilograms, and the remaining 20,000 kilograms brought in 40 taels of silver.

The Wang family and Sun Chengshan's family followed the example of the eldest son and kept the seeds, and the rest were sold for less than thirty taels of silver.

Other families in the village didn't grow much, and their income ranged from a few taels to more than ten taels.

Everyone chose to keep some potatoes, one for seeds and the other for food.

No matter what time, you will never worry as long as you have food.

Finally, it was the second branch of the Yu family, which sold 80,000 kilograms of potatoes, kept 30 acres of land for seeds, and had stored grain. They sold 70,000 kilograms of potatoes and earned 140 taels of silver.

Liu had stopped caring about money a few years ago, and there was no grandfather in the family. Everyone could give the money they earned to her if they wanted to, and keep it for themselves if they didn't want to.

So the profit from selling potatoes was also divided equally among them.

Finally, the three brothers unanimously agreed to give Liu 50 taels, and the remaining 90 taels of silver were given to the three brothers, with 30 taels each.

Everyone in the village was jealous of the second branch of the Yu family, but they were unable to make the decision to buy the 100 acres of land.

Now that I have some money in hand, I started thinking about whether to renovate the house first or continue buying land.

The convoy organized by Yuliang was only enough to carry away half of the goods at a time.

The rest will need another try.

In mid-October, all the potatoes were shipped away, and we spent another half a month busy planting winter wheat.

After a break, winter came in a blink of an eye. Before the first snow fell, in mid-November, the whole village once again worked together to harvest sweet potatoes.

It was still the same as potatoes. The surplus grain was collected by a caravan, and the market price was the same as potatoes, two cents per pound.

Every household kept some seeds and stored grain, and most of the rest was sold, earning a lot of silver.

At this point, all the reclaimed land in the village was vacated.

At the end of November, the first snow arrived as expected.

People wrapped themselves in thick cotton clothes and stayed indoors as much as possible.

A charcoal fire was placed in the main room of the second branch of the Yu family, and the whole family gathered around the stove to keep warm.

There were also potatoes and sweet potatoes roasting in the stove, giving off a sweet aroma.

Liu, Yang and Yao were making winter clothes for the New Year.

Zhang looked at Yu Ju and Yu Anan in the stroller.

Yu Sen was fiddling with herbs in a corner, while Yu Mu and Yu Lin were making soil blocks to grow corn seedlings.

Youyou and Li'er gathered together, and I don't know what they were writing.

Taoist Xuantian continued to test Yu Ze on his homework in preparation for the county examination in the spring.

The whole family is enjoying themselves.

"Dong dong dong" there was a knock on the door.

Liu said, "Second brother, go open the door."

Yu Lin stood up and walked out. Patriarch Wang and Sun Chengshan were standing at the gate of the courtyard.

He said, "Uncle Donglai, Uncle Chengshan, the door is not locked, just come in!"

As he spoke, he walked forward and opened the gate.

Patriarch Wang smiled and asked, "Is Dalin busy?"

Yu Lin said: "No hurry, let's go to the main room first, it's cold outside."

The three of them walked in one after the other.

Liu looked up and saw that it was them, so she greeted them, "Come and sit down! Yunniang, pour some water for your uncle Donglai and the others."

In the main room, Yang moved two stools, placed them next to the stove, and poured a cup of hot tea for each of them.

Patriarch Wang sniffed, and a sweet fragrance filled his nose.

"Oh, you guys know how to eat it. Aren't you afraid it won't get burnt if you roast it like this?"

Yang explained, "That's what Youyou said. Control the heat well. If you bake it this way, only the outer layer will be burnt, and the inside will be sweet, soft and delicious."

Sun Chengshan said: "You know what, this is a suitable snack for the children."

Children love sweet food, but they can’t afford candy in the city, so the roasted sweet potatoes are sweet and just right.

"We have plenty of sweet potatoes and potatoes at home now. I roast them for the children to eat when I have nothing to do. At least they won't go hungry now!"

Closer to home.

Liu asked, "His uncle came here, what's the matter?"

Chief Wang said, "Well, I came to ask, this land is now empty, what should we do with it? We can't just leave it empty like this."

"Then we have to ask the second and third sons about this." said Liu.

Yu Lin nodded: "I have discussed it with the third brother. Although we only planted potatoes and sweet potatoes this year, it seems that the time is still quite tight."

"It takes two months for potatoes to mature, and three months for sweet potatoes and corn, which makes seven months. In between, it takes two months to harvest and sow, which makes nine months. There is also rice and winter wheat. The busy farming season lasts from the beginning of the year to the end."

"I discussed it with the third brother. We decided to raise rice seedlings in March and plant them in April. Winter wheat will be sown at the end of October. For the rest of the year, sweet potatoes will be planted in May and harvested in August. Corn will be planted in June and harvested in September. Potatoes are cold-resistant, so they will be planted in November of the first year and harvested in March of the second year."

"If you calculate it this way, only the potato's maturity time is extended. If it's summer, it only takes more than two months, but in winter, it takes a little longer. The advantage is that all farm work doesn't have to be squeezed together, making everyone busy and dizzy."

"At the same time, for example, Uncle Donglai has ten acres of land. If he plants potatoes now, he can plant all ten acres of land with potatoes. The yield will be greatly increased next year, and he can sell more for more money."

"By the same token, you can plant ten acres of sweet potatoes and ten acres of corn. This way the yield will be greatly increased and you can make more money."

Patriarch Wang and Sun Chengshan discussed it and decided to follow Yu Lin's suggestion.

Glancing at Yu Mu's movements, the chief of the Wang clan asked, "What are you doing?"

Yu Mu raised his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Donglai, let me try Dong Yumi and see if it works!"

Patriarch Wang suddenly realized that all the Yu family members were smart.

If winter corn can also grow, we will have an extra season of food, which can save lives!

After Patriarch Wang and Sun Chengshan left, they told the news to people from all ethnic groups.

After being idle for more than ten days, Yujia Village became lively again.

Winter planting of potatoes gets everyone excited.

Then new problems arise.

That is, many households have left potato seeds from the original planting area, which is almost only half of the original land area.

If we were to sow all the potatoes now, there would be fewer potato seeds left.

Even if all the remaining food rations were used as seeds, there would still be not enough for many families.

Upon hearing the news, it was the second branch of the Yu family who stepped forward and supplied them with the required potato seeds, which enabled everyone to successfully sow the seeds.
