After Lai San's family left, Li Yuqing quickly counted the number of people, there were fifty or sixty families in the village, except for a few families with bad character, and a total of nearly half of the village names that did not plan to plant.

Li Yuqing is very happy about this number, originally planned not to have so many races, and it was also ready to plant it herself, but now it seems that she is too unconfident in herself, which also shows that the people in the village trust her very much. Li Yuqing decided to let them plant an acre of land this year, and then it will be up to them to see how much they want to plant in the future.

Among them, the person who helped Li Yuqing before automatically found Li Yuqing and asked her to give more potato seeds. They believe in Li Yuqing very much, so they follow her to have a variety of points this year, Li Yuqing looked at them with a look of admiration, and had no choice but to agree to let them try more than half an acre.

After dividing the amount of their respective plantings, Li Yuqing asked the village chief to find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but fortunately, Li Congwen is now studying and there is no shortage of these at home. Then write that when she now provides potato seeds and other harvests, she will harvest them at the price of wheat, and the price of good potatoes will be the same as the price of good wheat, and the same will be true for bad ones.

I wrote a total of two copies, and after I wrote it, I handed it to the village chief to read it first, and the village chief took it in his hand and pretended to look at it (in fact, the village chief didn't know a few words), and then handed it to a man next to him and said, "Ahem, pass it down and take a look, no problem, just press the handprint, and it is not clear in duplicate in the future." ”

Just thinking about it also knows that the village chief can't read a few words, let alone the villagers, everyone has pressed their own handprints after passing it in their hands, and after they are all pressed, one is in Li Yuqing's hand, and one is in the village chief's hand for backup.

When the others were dispersed, Li Yuqing still remembered that there were five or six acres of potato seeds left, and when he saw that the village chief looked anxious, he thought about it and asked, "Uncle, there are still five or six acres of seeds, do you want to plant them, if you want, you and Uncle Da Niu are one and half, I promised him to leave them for him before." Now that the soaphorn is down, she is still busy, so she doesn't plan to plant potatoes, so Li Yuqing happily plans to divide the rest to Li Daniu's family and the village chief's family.

The village chief was still anxious about whether Li Yuqing would forget him, but he was embarrassed to say it clearly, and now he scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and now he saw that she was still thinking about herself, and she was so happy that she was so happy, and hurriedly said, "Since you have spoken, I can't refuse your face, plant, you must plant"

Li Yuqing listened to the black lines on his head, this village chief monster will give himself a long face.

For this reason, she returned home and told her family about her arrangements, and was nagged by Cai's all night, "Say anything, why don't you leave some seeds for your own family, this potato is delicious, how can it be as expensive as food, etc." It was really uncomfortable to be nagged, and it wasn't until Li Yuqing said that they had other things to do, and Cai's family, who had no time to manage the potatoes, let her go.

Even if she let her go, Cai didn't believe what Li Yuqing said, saying that there was something to make money about starting to get busy soon, in fact, Li Yuqing didn't lie to her, because after helping the villagers plant potatoes, the soaphorn on the mountain was almost beginning to mature.

Since the matter of the potatoes was finalized, Li Yuqing has been in the village if it is okay. In this day and age, there is no fertilizer, and croppers use their own or animal manure to grow fertilizer on the ground, but for plants such as potatoes, manure is not suitable here.

There was no way, Li Yuqing asked them to mow the grass, and then piled it up in the ground to ignite it to form grass and wood ashes, and scattered it in the ground to strengthen the ground.

So in the past few days, there are a lot fewer people in the village than usual, and they basically go to the mountains to cut firewood and weeds, although they are tired, everyone's face is full of longing for the future.

It has been more than half a month since Li Congwen went to school in the town, and Li Yuqing has been busy for more than half a month.

During the two-day holiday, Li Congwen also took the time to find Li Yuqing. It's a pity that she was busy raising potato seedlings and preparing soaphorns at the same time, so she didn't encounter it, so she could only look forward to meeting it next time with regret.

It's early November, and the soaphorn on the mountain is almost coming down. Chen Dazhuang and others were also busy during this time, Chen Dazhuang was a carpenter, so Li Yuqing asked him to teach Li Daniu to make small wooden barrels together, so that there would be a place to put the soaphorn liquid boiled in the future, so Li Yuqing's family was busy during this time.

Potato seedlings are also very troublesome, so many seeds she can't get by herself, fortunately, potatoes have strong adaptability and are very good seedlings, so she called all the women who want to plant potatoes over, and then they will be planted in a unified manner.

In this way, it is easy for people to teach together, and if you know how to plant later, you don't have to work so hard. The people in the village heard that they were going to teach one by one to gather after the competition, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Soon taught them how to bury and raise seedlings, and the rest was on their own, Li Yuqing only had to take the time to look at it, and then teach them to plant separately.

Time flies, a month flies in a blink of an eye, Li Congwen came again in the middle, although he saw Li Yuqing as he wished, he said a few words to her about estrangement, Li Yuqing didn't come to tell him in a hurry, and he was called away by the villagers to ask about the block.

During this time, Li Yuqing slept very little every day, and he lost a lot of weight, but his complexion was fine, and now it is the most important step for potatoes to be divided, if he is not divided, his previous efforts will be in vain.

First of all, Li Yuqing found a knife and boiled it in hot water, which can sterilize at high temperature and prevent infection during cutting. Then take the potatoes that have been raised with seedlings, look at the sprout points, and then cut them.

Afraid of the second infection of the cut potatoes, Li Yuqing asked the grass and wood ashes to be prepared in advance, and the cut potatoes could be dipped in some plant and wood ashes, so as to prevent it from rotting.

Put the potato sprouts aside and let the rest of the people do as she did, with Li Yuqing guiding on the side. The equal parts were almost the same, Li Yuqing felt that it was good, so he used a carriage to pull the seeds into the ground, and Li Yuqing taught them to dig a pit and put the buds into the soil with the buds pointing upwards. It is best to cover the soil at a distance of 3~5 cm from the soil surface at the tip of the bud.

The villagers looked carefully, and then learned from Li Yuqing's example, at first there was no grasp of how much soil was covered, and then everyone did it well, seeing this Li Yuqing completely relieved, and the remaining days the village began to be busy planting potatoes.

During this time, Chen Dazhuang and Li Daniu went to the mountains to cut down a lot of trees and make a lot of wooden barrels, some big and some small. Li Yuqing kept the big wooden barrel and soaked it in the soap horn with water, and it was easy to cook only when it was soft. The small wooden barrel is also made of lids, which are small and cute, and the boiled soaphorn water is kept and poured inside, so that it can be sold outside.

Because it wasted a lot of time just to teach the villagers to plant potatoes, now the time is pressing, so even the old man Chen has helped a lot, He and Cai have changed their patterns to make food every day to treat everyone, and the family is busy.

After everyone planted the potatoes, Li Yuqing told the family that they had a good rest for a day, and after eating early the next morning, they called Li Daniu and beckoned the family to go up the mountain with a basket on their backs.

Although Qianzhou is like spring all year round, some of the leaves on the mountain in autumn have fallen off, with the direction of the soaphorn tree in the memory, no one spoke along the way at first, the more Chen Dazhuang walked in, the more curious Chen Dazhuang was, what is this soaphorn, what is the use of making a barrel for a month.

"Yuqing, don't blame my uncle for talking a lot, what is this soap horn and what is the use. As soon as Chen Dazhuang finished speaking, Li Yuqing felt the sound of eyes glancing around her, and saw a person looking at her with bright eyes, waiting for her to explain.

Li Yuqing smiled unnaturally, "Didn't I explain the soaphorn before, why don't you know." ”

As soon as Chen Dazhuang heard this, he immediately asked Li Daniu with a look, which means, "Yuqing told you, why don't you tell us." ”

Li Daniu is also very innocent, with an expression that I don't know anything. It just so happened that these expressions were taken into Li Yuqing's eyes, and she coughed embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, maybe I've been too busy lately and remembered wrongly, I'll talk to you about the use of soaphorn now." ”

When everyone heard him say this, they slowed down one by one, and sounded seriously: "It has long been processed and used to wash clothes and hair, just like what we usually eat sticks to our clothes, and it is generally difficult to wash it off, so our chests and sleeves feel black and greasy." ”

Li Yuqing said that everyone looked at their clothes embarrassedly, and sure enough, as Li Yuqing said, their faces turned red unconsciously. "Soap soap can easily wash away these dirt, and you can also wash dishes, chopsticks, hair, etc. ”

"Really, the soaphorn is really so amazing, I don't know how many years I've lived, and I don't know as much as you little girl. Old man Chen couldn't help but say with emotion.

Listening to Old Man Chen's words, Li Daniu smiled and comforted Old Man Chen, "Uncle, don't compare with Yuqing, you don't know yet, Yuqing was injured and comatose and met the gods before, what a blessing this is, it's not something we can compare." ”

Old man Chen heard Li Daniu say this, and his mood immediately improved, "Also, how can I compare a mortal with an immortal, I'm really old and confused haha." ”
