Chapter 200: A New Idea
In fact, this is also inspired by the chestnut tree, Xia Xuege tried very hard to recall the high-yield crops in his previous life, and wandered in the forest, trying to find some other unknown food, but unfortunately, he failed, and after that, Xia Xuege put his experience on high-yield crops!
High-yield crops are an important foundation for the development of agriculture, especially in the case of backward production conditions in ancient times! High-yield crops are even more important, in modern society, corn, rice and wheat account for more than half of the world's grain production, and other oats and millets are more nutritious food, but the yield is not as good as the first three, and in addition, there are two types of food crops - potatoes and beans.
Among potatoes, potatoes and sweet potatoes are the most common, in the past days, Xia Xuege could often eat roasted sweet potatoes on the bad street, but in ancient times, Xia Xuege had never seen it, that day I had a whim, I thought it would be not here, so I spent it to find Xia Ziqiu to ask, and only after asking did I know that this thing, like chestnuts, can't be eaten!
In the south, there are some small fishing villages near the sea that have this thing, it is said that there are more than ten years ago, but then people died of eating, it was not promoted, and the people over there did not dare to eat it, just took some to feed the pigs, and now it can be obtained, completely because this thing is adaptable, there are a lot of this thing in the mountains near the small fishing village over there, but this thing still costs some silver!
Looking at the three sacks of sweet potatoes on the ground, Xia Xuege's eyes were green! Baby, it's up to you to make a fortune in the future!
"Xue Ge, this thing...... Really not poisonous? β
Xia Ziqiu was very melancholy, this thing, because it ate people to death, it was basically fed to pigs over there, and later there were also pigs fed to death. Nobody wants it.
Xia Ziqiu said, but Xia Xuege shook his head!
"Dad, don't worry, it won't be poisonous, this thing is a family with potatoes, that person. I guess I ate a sweet potato with long sprouts. As with potatoes, potatoes with sprouts are poisonous, and sweet potatoes with sprouts are also poisonous. Otherwise, how can someone eat it and not die? β
Xia Xuege said, but Xia Ziqiu was still furious in his heart, otherwise he would eat people to death...... But how is it good......
"Xue Ge, it's still like last year. Try the chickens and ducks at home? β
Xia Ziqiu said, Xia Xuege nodded. If you don't give it a try, Xia Ziqiu won't be at ease!
"Okay, but Dad, I want to discuss something with you. It's this sweet potato, we have to keep it, it's only July. I don't think you can keep it, can you find someone to bring in a few more sacks in October or November. I want to plant him next year, Dad, our family depends on him for a fortune! β
Xia Xuege said, Xia Ziqiu shook his head, Xia Xuege is greedy, but no one will think that there is a lot of silver, and Xia Ziqiu is the same.
"Okay, if it's really okay, Dad will get you a chestnut, if you can't fish out your little grandfather, a high-yield new crop is definitely enough!"
Xia Ziqiu said, it's not that he hasn't worried about such a thing, in case Tuien doesn't push it to Master Tuesday and Old Lady Zhou!
The two of them said they would do it, chopped a sweet potato and grabbed a few new half-sized chickens raised this year to feed!
Seeing the two of them busy, Zhou Yuanchun smiled!
It turns out...... There is no need for facts, it is ...... Sweet potatoes are non-toxic, the chickens that have been raised for half a month are still alive, simply, Xia Xuege cooked the sweet potatoes at home at one time, and the two sacks of sweet potatoes were made into dried sweet potatoes by Xia Xuege, and the sacks were roasted and eaten by the family themselves!
"Don't say it, the taste of this sweet potato is really delicious!"
Zhou Yuanchun said, took a spoon and took a bite, Xia Xuege's roasted sweet potatoes are very well controlled, and the family eats them well!
Xia Ziqiu also nodded!
"Yes, it's really delicious to eat, in the autumn, I'm going to go to the south, when the time comes, I'll bring a few cars back, if this thing can really work, our family will be really good in the future!"
The purpose of taking the imperial examination is to be an official, and those who want to be an official will generally be a little ambitious, and Xia Ziqiu is no exception, but later, Xia Ziqiu's ambition became a happy life for the family. There are no parents in the world, only unfilial children and grandchildren, so Old Man Xia can come nonsense, but it is different when he is an official, Xia Ziqiu has already split up, Old Man Xia can't give him a hat casually, and what Xia Zidong wants to do, it doesn't matter much, and it doesn't matter in the future!
And as soon as I heard that Xia Ziqiu was going to the south, the family was enthusiastic!
"Dad, what are you doing in the south!"
The South, in general, is a land of abundance!
"It's not to do anything, it's to buy goods, and your uncle's little daughter is going to get married, I have to go!"
Xia Ziqiu smiled, Xia Xuege remembered Sun You! Also, if it weren't for Sun You, his family would have to live today's well-off life, and he would have to walk a lot more!
"Your mother has a body, trekking through mountains and rivers, I won't take her with me, you are all at home, dad go over there, try to go back as quickly as possible, you think about it recently, there are some miscellaneous notes in the south in Dad's house, you see, what you want, all say, Mengting, you too, whatever you want, say it, don't be polite to your brother-in-law!"
Xia Ziqiu smiled, but Zhou Yuanchun opened his mouth!
"That's what you said, it's not our mother!"
Bear is a very interesting word, saying that you are a bear, a lot of Cheng dΓΉ is to say that you are cowardly, and to say that you are a bear, is to bully you.
Zhou Yuanchun smiled, and Xia Ziqiu also smiled!
"It's not you who bear me, I promised! Xue Ge, how much silver does Dad have? β
Xia Ziqiu said, and everyone burst out laughing when he said a word! Who would have thought that the hot Xiucai master was actually the head of his daughter, and he didn't even know how much silver he had in his money bag!
Xia Ziqiu asked, and Xia Xuege smiled.
"Dad, there are still three hundred and seventy-eight taels and six dollars, but you promised to buy me a ruler, deduct five taels, buy a ruler for the little aunt, and deduct another ten taels, and there are three hundred and sixty-three taels and six dollars!"
Xia Xuege said, Xia Ziqiu thought about it, and it was more than he thought!
"Okay, then you guys are busy first, Dad goes to the study, make a list, and see what your uncle Sun marries and what Dad will give!"
Xia Ziqiu smiled and left, the mothers in the house were chatting, this time the sweet potatoes came too early, if it was late, Xia Xuege would keep them for seeding, next year, the land at home, Xia Xuege is all planned, half of the corn, half of the sweet potato, of course, the plan is reserved!
Sweet potatoes are delicious, but they also have to be given to Old Man Xia, not for anything else, Xia Xuege has always been for the same thing when he interacts with the Xia family's old house - reputation, Xia Xuege actually doesn't care, but for the sake of this family, Xia Xuege has to care, if he is not filial, he is fine, but what about his father and mother and his younger brothers and sisters in the future?
Xia Xuege didn't want to implicate others, so he took two big roasted sweet potatoes, Xia Xuege went to the old house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Liang pointing at Meng and scolding again!
"You shameless, who are you throwing your face to? You are your ancestor! If you dig up so little wild vegetables, you're going to starve a few ducks to death! Or starve a few chickens to death! β
Liang's fingers were almost poked in Meng's face, Xia Xuege didn't say anything, Liang's death was facing him, and he had already seen her coming, and Meng's, I hadn't seen her for a long time, she had lost weight, and she was tossed by Liang's when she thought about it, otherwise Meng's was like that, he was not thin, and Meng's already had white hair at this time, his hands were full of dirt, and his old clothes were almost the same as those asking for food, but they were much cleaner than Meng's in the past.
It's all about yourself, so Xia Xuege won't interject!
"You shake your face, I still want to whip you, get out, if you don't dig enough, you will be hungry for the chickens and ducks at home, see if you can eat!"
Liang said, smashing the basket on Meng Shi's body, Meng Shi swayed, and his face was even more ugly!
"Mother, what are you doing! The wild vegetables on the edge of this village have been dug up, and there are wolves in the mountains, you want me to feed the wolves! Why are you so ruthless! β
Meng said, but in exchange for Liang's ridicule!
"Hey wolf? Just you? β
Liang pinched his waist with both hands.
"You really exalt yourself, just your virtue, don't say feed the wolf! Feeding the dog stinks! Get out of here, don't get in the way! β
"If you don't dig enough, Gorou and Shiro don't eat today, don't even think about eating a grain of rice, you will be pulled down if you starve to death, I will be quiet!"
After Liang finished scolding, he turned to Xia Xuege and said:
"Xue Ge is here, let's go and sit in the house, it's all said, just let your father move around more, don't take those useless ones!"
Liang's meaning is completely accusatory, accusing Xia Ziqiu of not moving around with his father, every time he sends it, it is useless, but Xia Xuege smiled!
"Grandma, look at what you said, my father is busy over there, you don't have a fifth uncle by your side, my father also said, in the future, I will be like my grandfather, both children and daughters, my family sent it, this is all sent by my father, milk, I know, you mean that my father sent it is not good, but we are not as good as the fifth uncle, my family is a merchant, milk you say so, then I should go......"
"My dad got food from the south, and in your eyes, it turned out to be nothing, and my dad spent a lot of effort in vain!"
Xia Xuege said, turned around and left, Meng Shi was happy when he heard that it was fresh food!
"Xue Ge, you don't want me to be milky! Come ......"
"Get out of here!"
Liang roared and walked quickly to Xia Xuege's side.
"Who said I didn't want it, you kid, why are you so stingy!"
Sure enough, it's a completely unreasonable old lady in the countryside! Xia Xuege smiled! Gave two large potatoes to the Liang family!
"Milk, didn't you say it's useless, this is a sweet potato, it's already ready, just peel it and eat it, you're busy, I'll go back!"
Xia Xuege said and left, but Liang frowned!
"You come back, what's the matter, it's just two, there are so many people in the family!"
Liang's is less disgusted! (To be continued)
