Rebirth of farming for a living

Today is the day Li Qiuyan has decided to harvest sweet potatoes.

Last time I dug two trees in advance, but the fruits were not big enough.After waiting for these days, Li Qiuyan asked Li Xiangnan to dig another tree a few days ago, and the results were gratifying enough.

Li Qiuyan is gearing up and waiting until today to see the final result.

Early in the morning, except Wang Erniu and Li Xiangbei, all the men came over. They had already agreed not to go up the mountain today.

In the morning, Li Xiangnan drove an ox cart to send Li Xiangbei and the Zhou family and Wang family to the town to check out the shops, and then drove the ox cart back.

Switching the two oxcarts to haul sweet potatoes will make it much faster.

Li Qiuyan asked Li Xiangnan to demonstrate the method and asked everyone to dig carefully to avoid scratching the skin of the sweet potatoes and making them difficult to preserve.

A group of people started working in full swing.

Li Qiuyan was very busy, busy looking at the fields, and busy delivering water and food.

Wang Congcong went to the embroidery room, and she made an agreement with Yingzi to let Yingzi stop making pickled vegetables today and help her cook, and get paid as usual.

Yingzi naturally has no objections. Even if the relationship between the two people is not paid, Yingzi will not have any objection.

Not long after, cartloads of sweet potatoes began to be pulled home, and Li Qiuyan directed them to be delivered to the backyard.

The honeysuckle in the backyard has long been transplanted to the mountain, so the place is vacant.

A few days ago, Li Qiuyan asked Wang Daniu and Li Xiangnan to dig a cellar in the backyard.I plan to dry the sweet potatoes for a while and then store them underground. The sweet potatoes stored in the cellar can be stored for a long time.No longer afraid of sprouting.

With more people and greater strength, after digging for a long time, almost half of the land was cleared.

Li Xiangnan squatted on the ground, sucking noodles, and chatting with Li Qiuyan: "Why is the output of this thing so high? It has only been half a day, and there are already older ones in the backyard."

Li Qiuyan didn't expect it, but a good harvest is of course a happy thing, and the cellar he prepared might be a bit small.Li Xiangnan also thought about it: "Your uncle and I will dig another one later."

Li Qiuyan also nodded. This kind of cellar for storing sweet potatoes is called a cellar, but it is actually very simple. It is just a pit.

It's not worth anything except a little effort.

"Hey, how can a cow eat this thing?" Wu Qing's surprised voice came.

Li Qiuyan raised his head and saw that the cows were also tied to the ground. Maybe they were hungry. Both cows were chewing sweet potato vines happily.

Li Xiangnan said cheerfully: "I will feed them some water when I go home next time, and I will do my best."

Wu Qing also squatted down: "What, your sweet potatoes, will you plant them next year?"

"Grow it, why don't you plant it? This stuff is delicious too." Li Xiangnan answered hurriedly.

Li Qiuyan smiled: "Go back and pick some up and cook them for everyone to try in the evening."

"That's great." Wu Qing smiled and then hesitated: "Can you plant some of these sweet potatoes for me next year?"

As a qualified farmer, Wu Qing was naturally moved when he saw this terrifying yield.

Li Xiangnan said nothing. This thing belonged to Li Qiuyan. He didn't know how Li Qiuyan would arrange it.

Li Qiuyan thought about it and realized that there were indeed a lot of sweet potatoes. Just relatives and friends, there was no way he could finish them all.But there is nothing that can be hidden from others in the village?When the time comes, if the neighbors come over and ask, it’s not a good idea not to give them. After all, if you want to start a vermicelli business, you definitely want as many people to grow them, the better.

Li Qiuyan pondered for a moment: "Uncle Wu, my father hasn't figured out how to plant it yet. You wait until my father thinks of a way before I tell you. Don't worry, I will definitely let you plant it. It's just about how much you want to plant right now. There’s no guarantee.”

Wu Qing felt relieved after hearing this: "Okay, then I'll wait for your letter."

Li Qiuyan smiled and nodded.

More than an acre of sweet potatoes, so many strong laborers, it actually took a whole day to dig.

However, the results are very gratifying. A rough calculation shows that it weighs at least more than 4000 kilograms.

Li Qiuyan was also shocked. In his previous life, this number was nothing, and it was even considered a reduction in production.But there was no chemical fertilizer, urea, or anything like that at that time, and I only used farmyard manure once.

And even if there is an error in this number, it will not be too large.

Because this was obtained by Li Qiuyan first weighing a cart of sweet potatoes and then counting the carts.

In the evening, Li Qiuyan picked up some sweet potatoes that were accidentally scratched and cooked them for everyone to eat.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively, with wine and meat.But when the sweet potatoes were served, everyone's eyes lit up.

Yingzi also liked it very much: "It's sweet, like a snack."

Wu Qing was also surprised: "It's quite satisfying to eat this thing."

Li Qiuyan smiled: "Yes, Uncle Wu, but you can't eat too much of this, as it will easily bloat you."

Wu Qing waved his hand nonchalantly: "A bloated belly is better than being hungry. Yan Yan, you should leave more for Uncle Wu."

Li Qiuyan smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are so many, we can't finish them. We may have to find outsiders to plant them when the time comes."

Wu Qing was overjoyed after hearing this. He also had many relatives and friends, so he wanted to help them catch up with this good news: "I'm waiting for you to believe me, Yanyan."
