Chapter 53: Untitled

Mei Liu'er went to the village chief Wang Gengtian's house not exactly to talk about soybeans, she mainly went to talk about the things she was going to the state capital.

When Mei Liu'er arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief and his wife were eating, and when they heard a knock on the door, Wang Liu came to open the door, and when they saw Mei Liu'er outside the door, Wang Liu happily took Mei Liu'er's hand and entered the house, "Liu'er, little lady, have you had breakfast, sit down and eat with us"

"Auntie, eat quickly, I'll eat it, you eat and don't care about me" Mei Liu'er sat on the stool that Wang Liu brought her, and put the soybean tree in her hand at her feet.

"Liu'er little lady, what are you holding in your hand" Mei Liu'er saw what she was holding in her hand as soon as she entered the house, and he could see that as long as it was from the hands of this little lady, it must be a good thing, and this is probably a good thing that Liu'er little lady found again, but I don't know whether it was eaten or medicated.

"Uncle, this thing is called soybeans, you eat first, and after eating, I will tell you about this thing in detail," Mei Liu'er said with a smile and Wang Gengtian.

"Okay, then you wait for me for a while," Wang Gengtian, the village head, said to Mei Liu'er.

"It's okay, uncle eat slowly" Mei Liu'er said hurriedly, she was afraid that the village chief would eat too fast in order not to let her wait too long, eating too fast is not good for the stomach, especially for the elderly, they should chew and swallow slowly.

Wang Gengtian nodded and said that he understood, but you see that the speed of his meal is still much faster, Mei Liu'er is helpless, it seems that he will have to calculate some time to come again in the future, but he is afraid that he will not meet anyone after the meal.

At half a cup of tea, Wang Gengtian, the village chief, had a good meal, maybe he was too anxious to eat, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable, and he rubbed his stomach with one hand and walked over to Mei Liu'er, "Liu'er little lady, I'm done eating, let's get down to business."

Mei Liu'er took two apples to Wang Gengtian and Wang Liu's, the apples in the space are a good thing, although they may hold up after eating apples just after eating, but the fruit is also good after meals, but there is a lot of controversy about whether this fruit is eaten before or after meals.

Then Mei Liuer directly explained her intentions, first she told the village chief Wang Gengtian about soybeans, and then said that she wanted to go to the state capital before the end of the year, and she didn't say what she was going to do.

"Uncle, I have two things to tell you today, let's talk about this soybean first," Mei Liu'er said first.

"Okay, okay, little lady Liu'er, you say" Listening to Mei Liu'er's tone, Wang Gengtian also became serious.

"Well, uncle, this thing in my hand is called soybeans, which are edible grains, this soybean can be used to make various soy products, squeeze soybean oil and brew soy sauce, bean dregs or directly grind soybeans into coarse flour can be used as feed for livestock"

When Wang Gengtian heard that this thing that they regarded as a weed could be of so much use, he was surprised and distressed, this thing can often be seen on the mountain, and when it is tender, everyone cuts it home one by one to feed the pigs, oops, I don't know how many miles it has been wasted.

Mei Liu'er knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw Wang Gengtian's expression, so she said, "Uncle, this is nothing, usually everyone doesn't know, but now I tell you, then everyone knows, won't you make a mistake in the future and cut it home to feed the pigs?"

"Yes, yes, you're right, I'm going to gather people to go up the mountain to find it, and while there is still a period of time before the winter harvest begins, we will take advantage of this time to go up the mountain to find this."

"Soybeans can also be called edamame," Mei Liuer said.

"Yes, yes, this soybean edamame, just take advantage of this time to go up the mountain to find it, how can such a good thing not be taken back" Wang Gengtian was very happy, not to mention anything else about this thing, just the one that can squeeze soybean oil must not be missed.

"Uncle is not in a hurry, I'm talking to you about this second thing, I want to go to the state capital a year ago, I have some things to do, I want to ask the uncle, do I need any documents to prove to go to the state capital?"

Wang Gengtian was a little surprised why Mei Liu'er wanted to go to the state capital, and heard that she had something to do, so he didn't ask too much, and then heard Mei Liu'er ask if he needed a document, he thought about it and said, "I don't know much about this, mainly because no one in our village has been to the state capital yet, I'll help you go to the town's government office tomorrow to ask, and I'll tell you when I come back."

"I'll thank you Uncle first," Mei Liu'er thanked with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, I want to thank you, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know about these good things, these are all good things" Wang Gengtian laughed heartily.

Mei Liu'er also laughed, and then Wang Gengtian went to summon the heads of all families in the village to come to the village meeting to talk about the soybeans, Mei Liu'er didn't leave, she stayed to see if there was anything she needed to help with.

When Wang Gengtian went to gather people, Mei Liu'er mentioned slightly, "Uncle, generally most of the women in this family go to cut pigweed and feed the pigs at home, so maybe the women in each family know best where there are soybeans in the mountains, so you might as well let the women in each family also come."

Wang Gengtian thought about it right, so he summoned people to go, because it happened to be a meal, so every family basically ate at home, and after a while, they all gathered in the public house.

Wang Gengtian first told everyone about the use of soybeans that Mei Liuer told him, and the people in the villages here were also extremely surprised when they heard it, and after the surprise, they were happy, they were excited, and they thought of it with the village chief, and the other soybeans were fine, that is, the soybean oil alone was enough to make them excited.

You must know that oil is a very rare thing here, every household has a little oil, and they don't dare to eat it on weekdays, they dare to eat it when they have a guest at home, and the sesame oil in the grain and oil store in the town is very valuable, it costs twenty-five wen a pound, if this soybean can squeeze out oil, it would be good, there are many things on the mountain.

Then there are all kinds of chattering and all kinds of chagrin, people talk about the good life in the future, and they are annoyed that the pigs have eaten an unknown amount of oil.

Wang Gengtian told everyone to take advantage of the short period of time before the winter harvest to go up the mountain to search, and put it together after retrieving it, and then every household can get it, and the allocated ones are kept as grain seeds for next year's planting, and when next year's harvest is more, they are squeezing oil, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Mei Liuer told everyone again, "Everyone goes up the mountain to find it, just carry the basket or carry the basket to pick the pods back, and some of the ones that fall on the ground don't pick them up, let them grow, and when they grow out next year, let's go and watch it again, and then we will fertilize and weed it on the mountain, and when it can be harvested, it will be cut directly home."

After that, Wang Gengtian began to allocate manpower from various places to start looking, and it was decided to start early tomorrow morning, and then everyone dispersed.

The next day, everyone went up the mountain to find soybeans, Wang Gengtian went to the town to help Mei Liu'er ask about Wen Mu, Wang Erlang, Zhao Shi and others organized everyone to go up the mountain, and Mei Liu'er was at home waiting for news.
