Chapter 264: The West Bank is busy
Qiao Lan was very busy, too busy to take care of inconsequential people and things.
The land in the West Bank needs to recuperate, and most of the land is vacant after the autumn harvest, but the West Bank long-term workers have not stopped their work, so to speak, and they are busy almost from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
After the end of the farming, the picking of the peppers is carried out every day, and after the picking, it is necessary to dry and grind.
As we enter October, the West Bank seems to be busier, with sweet potatoes ripe and waiting to be harvested.
Sweet potatoes grow underground, and the vine leaves on the ground are so lush that most people don't know what kind of crop they are. Usually, Feng Dalang and a few others cut sweet potato vines to feed horses and cattle, and those who knew that there were still things planted in the north of the West Bank were only forage.
Qiao Lan has no intention of letting people know about the existence of sweet potatoes at present, and if she wants to dig sweet potatoes, she naturally can't dig them in broad daylight and in front of everyone, so she can only arrange it at night and let a trustworthy person start work quietly.
In October, eight of the long-term workers who were cutting trees in the forests on the west bank were under the watchful eye of the Tube Army, and in October, eight of them were transferred to take care of the pepper fields, and the original long-term workers were all transferred to dig sweet potatoes......
This time, it was the long-term workers, the nurses, and the tube army all went into battle.
At first glance, when they heard that they were going to dig up the sweet potatoes in the north, many of them were only surprised, it turned out that it was not forage, and there was still a lot of land in the field, no wonder the owner asked them to dig at night.
Everyone took shovels and shovels, sharpened their knives and killed the sweet potato field, however, the first sweet potato was planed, one sweet potato, two sweet potatoes, three sweet potatoes...... Thirty-five sweet potatoes of various sizes were placed on the ground, and the night was dark. But they couldn't hide the shock on their faces, a sweet potato plant has produced so many fruits, how many catties has this yield gone!!
More than 30 people went out day and night, wearing the stars and the moon, and spent two nights digging out 30 acres of sweet potatoes unknowingly and transporting them to the warehouse that had been prepared for placement. For these sweet potatoes, Yu Dana has built several warehouses in the forest to the north to store sweet potatoes.
Before entering the warehouse, there was no scale. Someone estimated. The yield is estimated to be 1,000 catties per mu, which is still a conservative estimate, however, Yu Dana quietly arranged for someone to weigh part of it. The yield per mu is not less than 1,800 catties. Rao was prepared. He was also taken aback.
For this result, Qiao Lan was a little complicated in her heart, both sad and happy. Sad because the original yield of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes per mu was only 1,800 catties in her hands, and she was happy that the yield was not against the sky, and it would be cheap to act in the future.
Harvested nearly 50,000 catties of sweet potatoes, all of them were seeded, and it was more than enough to plant the money and land, however, Qiao Lan had not yet decided whether to start planting sweet potatoes next year, not planting sweet potatoes, the money and land were so barren, and it was not easy to plant anything else, but planting sweet potatoes would inevitably cause a big wave.
Next year, the prefectural order will try to breed in advance, and I don't know what the final situation will be......
In the West Bank, who doesn't know to listen to incivility, don't look at incivility, talk less, do more things, although the long-term workers are itching, but they still don't dare to ask for one or two, but fortunately their lives are much better now, otherwise, it is really possible to take risks and secretly Chen Cang......
Raw sweet potatoes naturally can't be distributed to the long-term workers, but on the day of completion, Qiao Lan asked people to make a fire on the spot and roasted a bunch of sweet potatoes, two for each person.
In October, the autumn is cool, holding the steaming sweet potato, the warmth has flowed into the bottom of my heart, not to mention, the unheard of, straight to the nose of the fragrance...... It's unbelievable that just by baking it, it has a pleasant aroma, and if you eat it, it will be so delicious......
Qiao Lan had already eaten two of them, and when she looked back, she saw that the long-term workers were inexplicably moved and holding sweet potatoes, and they were not willing to eat any of them. Especially the Feng brothers, they have long been thinking about taking it back to their father, daughter-in-law and children to taste.
Yu Dana went over and said a few words to them, and they regretted that they put aside the sweet potatoes and ate them, and when they ate them, they felt that they were more delicious than they imagined, so they were even more regretful.
Qiao Lan called Yu Dana, thinking about whether to let them take some back and share them with their families. Yu Dana knows that his master has always been soft-hearted, and if he is not careful, he will do something unreliable, such as now. He hurriedly analyzed the current situation to Qiao Lan, since he didn't plan to plant sweet potatoes publicly, the less people knew about it, the better, for this reason, he instructed Feng Dalang and Second Uncle Lu to take care of the long-term workers, and when they went out of the West Bank, they must control their mouths.
"Master, you are too kind-hearted. Yu Dana said.
Counted down by his henchmen without a trace, Qiao Lan silently lowered her head and picked up a roasted sweet potato, and was just about to peel it off, when Yu Dana's faint voice came from her ears, "Master, you have already eaten two big ones." No matter how delicious it is, it has to be in moderation. ”
"Yu Dana, I see that you are getting bolder and bolder, and you even have to take care of my affairs. Qiao Lan's face was already dark, and Yu Dana didn't see it, "I'm also thinking about the master's body." You see, you're about to have dinner, and if you're full, you won't be able to eat dinner. You've also said that sweet potatoes aren't as filling as rice. You must be hungry at night, and even if you eat supper, it will hinder the master's growth......"
Yu Dana seemed to have turned on the Tang Seng mode, and the rambling was endless, so that Qiao Lan had to silently put down the sweet potato in his hand.
Here, Ye Feitian also came back, his face was full of joy, like a young man with a young man. Gems are happy, he is going to be a father, he was originally quite a steady and self-sustaining person, he smiled like a fool when he saw the sky, and he always liked to desert when he was on duty recently, such as Fang Cai, the baked sweet potato had just come out of the oven, he picked one up and handed it to Qiao Lan, and then picked up two but ran directly to find the gem. He remembered that the gem had been so bad lately that he couldn't eat at all.
Thinking of his right-hand man becoming a Tang monk and a fool, Qiao Lan couldn't help but sigh, what is the matter.
Qiao Lan personally sent baked sweet potatoes to Fuyuan and Yueyuan, with the original intention of rubbing Chen's crescent moon. It was okay to rub it, but Mama Lin felt that eating it directly was unsightly, so she asked Yu Xiaodie to bring delicate dishes and spoons......
Looking at the delicate dishes, Qiao Lan's interest in eating baked sweet potatoes suddenly lost.
While tasting the fragrant roasted sweet potato, Chen Yueya ignored Mama Lin's gaze and told Qiao Lan about Chen Shengli giving birth to a girl yesterday. She felt a little sorry that she would be nice if she were a brat.
"You're worried about others. What's wrong with giving birth to a girl, the girl is the intimate little padded jacket. You, you are influenced by Chen Wang's family, and you are patriarchal. Qiao Lan really wanted to popularize the postmodern idea that the little girl had the same boys and girls, but the little girl was busy interrupting her, "I didn't influence the old witch, I was afraid that Hu Langzhong and Xiao Hu Langzhong would dislike Chen Shengli." Isn't my mother also suffering because she failed to give birth to a son, hey...... On the day of washing, I wanted to go and see it, but the Chen family would also go, and I annoyed them. ”
"I don't think Xiao Hu Langzhong is that kind of person, if Chen Shengli gives birth to daughters one after another, I don't know if he will dislike it, the world is like this, it's really helpless. Go if you want to, and worry about what to do so much. With Qiao's family here, with me, at the bottom of the Daqing Valley, you can walk sideways. Nowadays, only they are afraid of you, how can you avoid them. Qiao Lan replied domineeringly, thinking about it, the Chen family is a Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten, and it is really annoying to come out every now and then, so she hurriedly added, "If you are annoyed, come back after seeing the little baby." ”
"Third brother, in fact, you are quite annoying to them. ”
"Sample, I was teased. ”
"Haha!" Chen Yueya laughed for a while, and asked one by one, "Can I take Yuxi there?" He doesn't seem to like to play with adults, I think they are both little babies, and they may be able to talk together. ”
"Hehe!" Qiao Lan laughed dryly, thinking that it was not that he didn't like to play with adults, but that he disdained to play with mortals.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Yuxi's cry came from outside, and he cried breathlessly, so it was not miserable. Qiao Lan hurriedly went out, and it happened that Shan Zixuan ran over with Yuxi, who was crying. When Yuxi saw Qiao Lan, she stretched out her hand to hug her, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Seeing him crying with a handful of snot and tears, Qiao Lan really didn't want to cooperate with him, but in front of everyone's eyes, such a cute baby couldn't get enough to hug, so it was too cold. She hugged Yuxi and found that he was crying as if he was cheating, which was even more strange, up and down the Qiao family, there was anyone else who could make him feel wronged? )
