My man's combat power explodes the table [traveling]

When Li Jianzhong came over, Luo Hua was sitting under the eaves peeling corn bracts, and he planned to dry the corn as soon as possible while the sun was shining.Li Shi, Qin Zheng, and even Fang Haoze were all helping out—Fang Haoze simply came here to join in the fun after eating corn.

The yard was overgrown with corn bracts.

Li Jianzhong crossed piles of corn mountains and walked to Luo Hua who was working with his head down.

"Little flower."

Luo Hua raised his head in surprise: "Why is Uncle Li here?" He put down the corn in his hand, "Is something wrong? Let's go into the room and talk about it."

"There are some things, but." Li Jianzhong looked around and saw that everyone was busy tearing corn husks, and it was not good to delay them, "You are welcome, let's talk about it here."

Li Shi who was next to him had seen him come in a long time ago, and when he heard that he had something to do, he immediately stopped what he was doing and stared at him without saying a word.

Li Jianzhong glanced at Li Shi, who obviously didn't welcome him, and was a little embarrassed: "Well, I just want to ask about this jade and corn."

Luo Hua followed him to look at Li Shi, and immediately received a naked warning stare.

He reacted in an instant, glared back at him angrily, and told him to quickly pour a glass of water for Li Jianzhong.

Li Shi snorted in dissatisfaction—he still remembered that Li Jianzhong encouraged his Xiaohua to break up the contract, how dare he walk away? ——Kicked Qin Zheng and asked him to pour tea.

"What are you doing?" Qin Zheng was kicked for no reason and glared at him angrily.

Luo Hua: ...

Li Jianzhong: ...

Luo Hua didn't bother to care about these two people playing tricks, so he raised his butt and planned to get up to pour water by himself.

"Stop busy, we don't pay attention to that." Li Jianzhong simply sat down beside Luo Hua, "Come on, tell me how to do this, and I will help you too."

Luo Hua thought for a while, his family is indeed busy now, it's better not to make up those fake things, and it is serious to hurry up and work.Thinking of this, he was not polite to Li Jianzhong, sat back down again, and told him a few words about how to fix the corn cob.

Li Shi didn't know what he thought of, he grabbed the basket and hurriedly sat on the other side of Luo Hua.

Luo Hua glared at him.What is he doing?Don't you know what Li Jianzhong is here for?

Li Shi blinked and pretended to be innocent.

Li Jianzhong: ...Boy, I really didn't come to persuade you to terminate the contract this time.

Qin Zheng, who knew the inside story, rolled his eyes.Fang Haoze, who didn't know where he was going, also covered his mouth and laughed.

Li Jianzhong suppressed a smile and coughed: "Don't worry, I won't talk about anything else today, just ask about corn." He reiterated.

Li Shili ignored him, bowed his head and continued peeling corn.

Li Jianzhong rubbed his head in embarrassment.

Luo Hua hurriedly apologized to Li Jianzhong: "Uncle Li, leave him alone, let's talk about ourselves." He pretended to be curious, "What does Uncle Li want to ask about corn?" Quickly ask, he is ready!

For this moment, he had discussed with Li Shi for two nights, and was evaluated by Li Shi as a woman's benevolence!

snort!The benevolence of the damned woman!

"Cough cough." Li Jianzhong went down the steps, imitating them by peeling off the corn bracts layer by layer and dragging them to one end, and asked Luo Hua, "That's it? What is this for?"

Luo Hua glanced at the corn on the cob in his hand, nodded: "Yes, peel off the outer skin and hang it upside down to dry."

Li Jianzhong was puzzled: "Dried? Isn't it just boiled and eaten like this? I ate the corn you sent in the morning. It was fragrant and glutinous, and it was filling my stomach. It was hard to eat, and I had to bite down and chew it. A corn cob was worth eating." Eat for a long time."

Luo Hua smiled and shook his head: "It's fresh when you cook it like this. I plan to dry these corns and store them. They can be stored for a longer period of time. However, you won't be able to eat them like this when the time comes."

"Then how to eat it after drying it? How long can it be stored?" Li Jianzhong asked.

"Store in a dry and ventilated room, a year or so is not a problem. As for how to eat," Luo Hua thought for a while, "it's quite a lot. Grind it into powder, mix it with flour and noodles, or fry it or steam it; cook it directly Cornmeal batter is also fine, and rice and beans can be added to make porridge, anyway, it can fill your stomach.”

Wouldn't that be equivalent to adding an extra staple food?Li Jianzhong immediately became excited when he saw it: "This, this corn can really be eaten as flour?"

Luo Hua shook his head: "In addition to being slightly sweet, this cornmeal is not as good as flour. If it is not ground finely enough, it will scratch your throat."

"It's okay." Li Jianzhong waved his hand, "It's fine if you can eat enough, who cares about those little problems."

"That's not a problem." Besides, he didn't care about the satiety function of corn.

Li Jianzhong slowed down, and looked at him expectantly: "Is this corn really worth ten shi per mu?" If there were really ten shi, why wouldn't their Hexi Village become rich? !

A stone is about 120 catties in modern times.Luo Hua made some calculations in his heart, then shook his head directly: "Uncle Li, I will tell you that there is water in these ten stones."

"How to say?"

Luo Hua held up a freshly peeled corn cob: "Didn't you eat it? You see, the corn kernels only have a layer on the surface, and the core inside is not edible. But as you can see, my cornfield is one acre About ten stones are produced, but the ten stones are counted together with corn cobs. Although the yard of my house is full of corn, it looks like a lot, but it’s really not much.”

Li Jianzhong calmed down slightly: "What percentage of the core's weight is it?"

"At least six to seventy percent."

Li Jianzhong frowned suddenly: "Less than half of them are really edible?" With this output, it is better to continue planting rice.

Luo Hua became serious: "Uncle Li, you know the conditions of the fields in our Hexi Village. Many counties in Gaozhou Prefecture can grow two crops of rice, so they live a good life. But our village is close to the mountains, and there are not many paddy fields but more dry fields. Basically, everyone can only plant one crop. Even if you can barely plant another crop, if there is little rain in autumn and winter and you rely on pumping water to irrigate, the yield is better than not planting. The year-round grain, and then pay [-]% of the land tax, leaving It’s just enough to feed the whole family.”

In the past few years, my father has been confused, and Li Jianzhong has basically handled matters such as food and tax in the village, so he naturally knows this situation.Now that he mentioned this, he didn't hide it: "It is true."

So their village is poor, not because outsiders say it is because there are many lazy people.

Luo Hua saw that he had already seen the situation of the village, and his arrival today just proved that what he said before that he wanted to do something for the village was true.

It’s fine if you really want to do practical things for the village.

Luo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Corn is drought-tolerant. As long as it is watered thoroughly during the seedling raising period and careful not to get pests later, it basically doesn't need to be taken care of. This is suitable for our village with a lot of dry fields. Right?"

Li Jianzhong nodded.Even if it is drought tolerant, it's not worth giving up growing rice for that little yield, right?He looked at Luo Hua suspiciously.

Luo Hua went on to say: "This kind of rice is the most fertile. The paddy fields in our village grow rice all the year round, and the fertility has been declining. This is the reason why everyone's field production is not getting better every year. As for the corn field, we can harvest rice every year." After that, plant a crop of corn in succession. Replanting a crop of corn can save the field from being deserted for an autumn and winter. Of course, planting a crop of potatoes or sweet potatoes occasionally can also enrich the field, which is not limited.”

"The grain harvest is at the end of July, can you still plant it?" Li Jianzhong was surprised, "The one in your family, I remember that the real boy planted it in April, right? Now it is also the grain harvest in June. Can you still plant it in July?" If yes, then you can consider it.

Luo Hua affirmed: "Yes. With the climate here, we can still rush to plant a crop in July and August, and the harvest will be harvested by the end of October."

Li Jianzhong nodded again and again: "If it is really possible to plant and grow continuously, there should be people in our village who are willing to plant." He estimated, "However, the yield of this corn is not as good as potatoes, and the people who grow it probably won't—"

Luo Hua interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Uncle Li, besides being used as food, this corn has other uses."

"What use is more important than eating?" Li Jianzhong disagreed.

Luo Hua shook his head with a smile, and then told him one by one in detail: "This corn cob, the stalks that have not been cut down in the field, are all very useful. If they are chopped, they can be fed to pigs; if they are dried, they can be used as firewood. "

"Small idea, these can also be made with rice straw." Li Jianzhong waved his hand.

Luo Hua took a deep breath: "Besides, these can also be used to make sugar."

"Sugar making?!" This is a good thing!Li Jianzhong raised the unremarkable corn bract in his hand suspiciously, looked left and right, and thought of the bare stick left over from the morning meal, but he couldn't see where it was related to sugar, "How is it possible?"

Luo Hua chuckled: "Really, I won't gain anything by lying to you."

Li Jianzhong looked at Qin Zheng and the two, and lowered his voice: "Then the candy you made," he swallowed, "is it edible? We can't harm anyone."

"Of course I can, otherwise I don't need to say it, right?"

Li Jianzhong hesitated: "You..." He hesitated for a long time, finally sighed, and then looked up with a relaxed expression, "It seems that your family is going to get rich. This corn is really good. You have collected so much now , are you willing to sell some to the villagers as seeds, so that they can plant them after the rice is harvested?" He paused, a little embarrassed, "If it is, it would be better to teach the villagers how to take care of it."

But nothing about sugar.

Luo Hua and Li Shi looked at each other.

Li Shi finally looked better this time, and he nodded towards Luo Hua.

Luo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat up straight and looked at Li Jianzhong with a serious face: "Uncle Li, I have discussed with Brother Shitou that I can sell the corn seeds, and I will also give the sugar recipe to the village so that everyone can learn it—" —”

Li Jianzhong gasped, he didn't dare to say anything, "Are you going to hand over the sugar making formula?"

Sugar!

How expensive candy is!

Most of the families in their village can only buy some sweets for their family members during the Chinese New Year all year round, which they can't taste at all at ordinary times.

If you know the recipe for making sugar, the materials are only your own crops, and you don't waste a little grain.

Even if you can't sell it for money, being able to eat more sugar on weekdays is a great benefit for everyone!

Li Shi Luo Hua and the others actually said they would hand it over?

Without waiting for Li Shiluo Hua to answer, he changed his mind, thought of other possibilities, and hesitated: "But what do you want everyone to do? Or should we pool money to buy this prescription?"

Luo Hua shook his head: "I don't need anything."

Li Jianzhong swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "You, you mean, you want, you want to give away the sugar making formula to everyone for free?"

Luo Hua nodded.

Li Jianzhong was dumbfounded, and he even trembled: "Why, why?"

Luo Hua scratched his head.How can this be said?

Of course he has a reason.

Although their family is poor now, they have corn in their hands and peanuts in the future.In addition to Uncle Feng's line, he had already planned what he would do next.

But most of the people in the village are still poor.Including several close members of the Luo family.

Muxiu Yulin will be urged by the wind.

In recent years, the people in this village have been distorted by Mr. Li's old stubborn group. If there is any inequality between the rich and the poor...something will happen if they are not balanced.Even if it's okay, doing small movements every day is annoying.

Since he has a way, why not contribute so that everyone can live a good life?

At that time, they don't care whether the whole village will produce sugar, or a few families will produce sugar, and the rest will sell the straw and so on to help the family. They don't care—as long as everyone's life can improve.

In this way, a few families can always get rich, and the few of them will not be eye-catching.

In addition, the sugar recipe was given by them, and the people in the village will still be grateful for their kindness. It is estimated that it will save a lot of trouble, and they can talk about anything they usually have.

Li Shi said that he is a woman's benevolence and timid.

so what?

This is a new dynasty.There is no excessive taxation, no abuse of officials, and they still have many years of peaceful life.

He is an agronomy major and has been engaged in research on farming, food and melons for many years. He has an innate love for the land and food.It is his responsibility to maximize the use of food output.

Only in this way can he feel that his past few decades were not just a dream.The knowledge he has learned and the abilities he has acquired will not become useless just because he changes places.

Maybe you have to ask, why not give these recipes to Luo Changan and others like the rice noodle recipe?It’s not bad to teach a few families you’ve made friends with, since they make money anyway, don’t they?At that time, when the families get rich, they don't care about it.

Luo Hua didn't think so.

Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, it is impossible for him to help them endlessly.

There is endless money to be made, and the days will definitely get better and better. He can't raise their hearts.

When discussing with Li Shi, he spoke in a secretive way, even a little incoherent.

I don't know what Li Shi made up his mind. Although he disliked him, he didn't object in the end.

That's why Luo Hua cooked corn in the morning and sent it to Li Jianzhong's house.

The purpose is to catch Li Jianzhong, a big fish.

However, when they threw out all kinds of temptations before, if Li Jianzhong bit the hook on the spot and asked for a prescription, they would change another way.Now, it has been proved that Li Jianzhong is of good character, so everyone is happy with the result.

After repeatedly confirming Luo Hua and Li Shi's attitude and the feasibility of the prescription, Li Jianzhong rubbed his hands excitedly and went back—he had to prepare well, their village had to do a big job!

Then, Li Jianzhong, who was ambitious and rewarded, was directly poured cold water on his face.

Hearing that the newly appointed village head asked everyone to buy corn seeds from Li Shi's house, everyone hesitated and waited and waited.

Everyone has heard that corn with an yield of ten stones per mu can only be eaten on the surface. After deducting the thick core, it is not as much as rice.The potatoes replanted in autumn and winter are basically stored grain. How can it be enough if it is all this output?Even if straw can be used to make sugar, there is no shadow of it, and no one dares to believe it easily.

But it made Li Jianzhong very angry.If he didn't have confidence in them, would he dare to say it?

Even if you don't see Tangfangzi, can planting it invariably change your life?How long have they been poor?How do you know if you don't try?

Take a look at the rice noodle that Luo's family is selling, it's what Luo Hua left out.The Luo family had already asked him about the house, and it took only a while for their family to build a new house.

According to his guess, this candy recipe was probably brought back by Li Shi.Otherwise, how could he bring corn back to plant in the first place?

Li Jianzhong was in a hurry to get angry, while Luo Hua was greeting guests on the other side.
