Chapter 396: New Variety

When Deng Ying came, the three of them walked west together, and Li replied that the brick house they lived in was really quite conspicuous, and now that there are many people living in it, the popularity of this house has increased.

"Mr. Hu, we're here. Qiao Hongyuan said loudly outside the house.

"Eh, back to the house. Hu Yueliang replied.

The three researchers were there, busy cutting the vines from the sweet potato ridges.

Qiao Jiayue just wanted to help, so she asked Li Da to stop her, "Girl Yue, go and help us boil a pot of water." ”

The land behind the house is not very large, and the few of them are completely busy.

Qiao Jiayue responded, but when she went into the kitchen, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, there was a mess everywhere, everything was placed indiscriminately.

It's really hard to expect three men who can only study to get by.

Qiao Jiayue rolled up her sleeves and began to get busy, she didn't do less housework at home, and the speed was still very fast.

She cleaned up the stove first, lit a fire and boiled water, and then left her hands free to do other things.

After she had taken a moment to get the kitchen in order, she looked at what was going on.

"This is a sweet potato?" Qiao Jiayue said, pointing to the strangely shaped bumps on the ground.

Can that be eaten?

"It's a variant. Li replied and explained to Qiao Jiayue, "Don't look at these pimples as unsightly, they are actually good things." ”

The five men worked together, and the speed was still very fast, and there was basically no place for Qiao Jiayue to come in handy.

Qiao Jiayue brought them the hot water that had cooled down, and a few people hurriedly drank a few sips and hurried to the house.

The things on the ground behind the house were still confiscated, Qiao Jiayue walked over curiously and pinched a handful of vines, and then she found that this vine was a bit similar to the fast-growing wild vegetables.

A milky white viscous liquid flowed out of the gap, and Qiao Jiayue's fingers were stained with some of it, and she rubbed it on the leaves with a frown.

The feeling just now is a bit like the liquid that sticks to your hands when peeling sweet potatoes, and it is not easy to wash off.

Qiao Jiayue went to look at those pimples again, she broke it with her hand, the texture of the hair was not as hard as she imagined, and the appearance inside looked a little soft.

This thing is so weird, can it really be eaten?

At this time, Li replied, and when he saw Qiao Jiayue's puzzled look, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This sweet potato doesn't look good, but according to our simple test, it is rich in starch and is very suitable for making sweet potato powder." ”

Qiao Jiayue was a little skeptical, is it really fake?

Li A saw Qiao Jiayue's disbelief, so he continued: "You'll know later." ”

Immediately after, Qiao Hongyuan and Deng Ying came over with a strange thing.

The bottom is the appearance of the barrel, but there is something strange on it, and Qiao Jiayue can't analyze anything.

After a while, a large basket of washed sweet potato lumps was placed next to the strange machine.

Li A took a small one, stuffed it into a hole above, pulled a pole with his right hand, and with a click, the sweet potato had been crushed and fell into the bucket below.

After Li A made a demonstration, Deng Ying took over, and Qiao Hongyuan assisted on the side to cut the too large sweet potatoes into small pieces.

This machine is wooden, which makes it very easy to look at, and it is not a struggle to use at all.

Qiao Jiayue saw that her hands were itchy and decided to give it a try.

She tried to crush a few sweet potatoes, and the feeling was like crushing strawberries at home.

Seeing that there was half a bucket of sweet potatoes in the wooden barrel, Li A took the lead, and several people followed curiously.

I saw Li Da add a large amount of cold water to the barrel and stop at two-thirds of the barrel.

Then he took a round wooden stick and put it in the barrel and started stirring.

The water, which was originally quite clear, quickly turned milky white.

When Li A pulled out the stick, he said, "Xiaoyuan, help me get a sieve." ”

The sweet potato residue was left in the sieve, which was at least five times smaller than the previous bucket.

"That's it?" Qiao Jiayue couldn't believe it, it's as simple as that?

In the past, when the brigade made sweet potato powder, it was necessary to knead the crushed sweet potatoes vigorously, which was a hard work, but not everyone could do it.

This kind of sweet potato doesn't even need to be scrubbed, just stir it like this, and depending on the situation, the powder yield is quite high.

"How does this sweet potato taste when cooked?" Qiao Jiayue turned her head and asked Li A.

"Once this sweet potato is boiled in water, it will turn into a pot of sweet potato paste, and it tastes okay. Li A recalled the taste, it tasted no worse than sweet potatoes, and it was not easy to have a stomach.

"What about its leaves?" Qiao Jiayue was very curious, the sweet potato became like this, would the sweet potato leaves still be the same as the original?

"Its leaves are relatively tender, not suitable for fresh eating, and have an astringent taste, but if it is stuffy for a while, it is a very suitable feed. ”

Li replied that the taste of this sweet potato leaf was indeed not very good, not as amazing as sweet potato at all.

When Li A and Qiao Jiayue were talking, Hu Yueliang and Bai Ruosheng came out of the house with smiles on their faces, and it seemed that they were in a good mood.

"We're going to the brigade headquarters, do you want to go together?" Hu Yueliang changed the things in his hand to the other hand, and then closed the door.

"Go!" Qiao Jiayue said quickly, guessing that they were going to the brigade to report their results.

In the brigade headquarters, if you want to say who knows the most about Li A's research on the three of them, it must be Qiao's father.

As soon as Qiao's father saw them coming, he knew what the situation was, and called Qiao Hongyuan to go to the reservoir to ask someone to come back for a meeting.

The three researchers are all practical people, and Qiao's father has a hunch that what they came up with this time must be very amazing, and maybe it will have a huge impact on the Alpine Brigade.

Qiao Yibing didn't really want to come over, but when they heard that the three researchers had made a new discovery, they didn't dare to ignore it.

This year's rice harvest will be inseparable from their guidance.

After everyone arrived, Hu Yueliang stood up to explain to all the cadres of the brigade, and also provided samples they had made these days.

If you are interested, you can do it again on the spot.

After Li A's demonstration, everyone was still a little unable to come back to their senses, this is the variety of sweet potatoes combined with fast-growing wild vegetables, and it feels incredible when you think about it.

Qiao's father took a piece of fresh sweet potato and played with it in the palm of his hand, and then before he had much force in his hand, the sweet potato rotted in the palm of his hand.

He frowned slightly, "This new variety of sweet potato is not resistant to preservation." ”

In this regard, Hu Yueliang did not deny, "It is true, but this shortcoming cannot hide its advantages at all." ”

Qiao's father thought thoughtfully, "This sweet potato is drought resistant?"

"The water demand is relatively large, and it is also more fat. Hu Yueliang doesn't think this is too much of a shortcoming.

"But it has the advantage that it can be planted all year round, and the temperature doesn't affect it much. It can be harvested three or four times a year. ”

And it has a high powder yield, sweet potato powder can continue to be deeply processed, and it has become a special product of the alpine brigade. ”

Harvest three or four times?

"Really, are you planting vegetables?" Qiao Zhenghuo couldn't help but complain.
