102: Dig taro
After taking back the vegetables in the field, the Wang family was idle for a few days and the taro in it could be harvested again, the taro was found by Wang Tingting and Qian Sanduo in the back mountain before, and now almost every family in the village has some planted in the yard, and now the taro can be harvested. The ten acres of taro of the Qian family www.biquge.info need a lot of people to work, and everyone is willing to help with the work, and they all want to see how the yield of this taro is, and whether it is as good as the Qian family said.
In addition to the Qian family planting 10 acres of taro, only the Wang family planted two acres in the entire village, so in the past two days, the Wang family has put the production of tofu and dried bean curd full of progress, but began to dig taro. Although both families planted taro on reclaimed wasteland, the wasteland chosen by both families was not too barren, and the taro did not have high soil requirements, so the yield this time was very amazing.
Because the seeds are all good seeds provided by Wang Tingting, the yield is much more than the expected before, and the villagers who were invited to help by Qian Sanduo sighed after digging the taro, this kind of food is really good, the yield is high, and there is no need to take care of it, even the wasteland can be, it is simply the gospel of farmers, not to mention that Qian Sanduo also said that this kind of taro purchase is purchased according to 2 yuan a catty, which is much more cost-effective than planting vegetables.
Vegetables also need to be carefully cared for, cared for, weeded and caught insects or something, but taro is much easier to take care of, and taro is harvested faster, and it can be dug up completely when it is ripe, unlike vegetables. And the value of taro is higher, maybe in modern times the price of taro and vegetables is about the same, but here, taro can fill the stomach and is easy to store, so the value is naturally higher than vegetables.
And according to the yield, the yield of taro is much higher than the yield of one acre of vegetables, so the people who came to help in the Qian family's taro field are very excited to want to plant taro at home, and now that the Qian family's taro has been harvested, you can buy some as seeds.
"Uncle Qian, can you sell us a little taro, we plan to plant taro next year, before there were not so many seeds, we can only plant them in our own yard, now that your family has harvested so much, we are thinking about whether we can buy some." Aunt Wang said.
"Of course there is no problem, I also want to tell the village chief about this, since our family has such a big harvest of taro, we will not be bad if we plant it, this taro can be full, and can be used as a vegetable, it is a good Dongxi, even if it is planted, you don't like to eat, you can also sell it to me, I promise 2 yuan a catty, absolutely not let everyone have worries." This taro is a wild plant, there may be other places, but it may not be known that it is edible, so we may not have many people in the town in the past two years, but it will be good in a few years, and it will be sold to those merchants who buy it, and the price will definitely be higher than the price I gave, after all, I am now directly in contact with the merchants who bought vegetables before, and the price is unlikely to be very high, 2 yuan a pound is the limit, unless the value of taro is discovered by more people. Qian Dahai said.
"2 Wen Qian a pound we are already very satisfied, besides, it is not sold for money, we can also eat at home, now every family is better off, but it is still impossible to let go of the stomach to eat, if the yield of taro has been done like this, then we can eat every day, the rest can be exchanged for a sum of silver, there is nothing more cost-effective than this, thank you so much, otherwise where would we know that there are such good things." In the past, even if we saw taro on the mountain, we didn't recognize it, we only thought it was a weed. Aunt Wang said.
With the hard work of many laborers in the village, the taro of the Qian family was basically harvested, and the yield was really surprising to all the people, although it was said that it was a bumper harvest when it was harvested before, but in the end all of it was harvested, and it was found that basically the yield per mu was not less than 6 tons, what is this concept, you must know that the ancient grain yield was very low, and the yield of one mu of rice was 200 catties, and one mu of wheat was more than 100 catties.
This is determined by the limitations of the seeds of this era, the way they have been cultivated, and other factors, so when a grain species that can produce 6 tons per mu appears, you can imagine everyone's excitement. In addition to the fact that the food in this era has no oil and water, lacks nutrition, and needs to eat more, there is also an important reason that the yield per mu of grain is too low, so that although it seems that the land is not small, the harvested grain is not enough for the family to eat.
Of course, the yield of these fine grains is low, and the yield of some coarse grains is relatively high, such as brown rice, such as sorghum, corn, etc., which is much higher than the yield of wheat and rice, which is why the common people love to sell the fine grains they grow at home and buy coarse grains to eat, otherwise they will not be full.
Even coarse grains can't be full, two meals a day, and many times there is clear soup and little water, no wonder the people present are so excited. Even because of the previous purchase of vegetables by Qian Sanduo, the living standards of all the people in the village have improved, but one is that everyone does not plant much, and the other is that rural people have a sense of crisis, will save money, and naturally eat food, there is not much change, but with this taro, there will definitely be no starvation, not only can you eat two meals a day, but there is no problem with eating three meals.
"I'm going to call the village chief, this taro is so important to our Qinghe Village, with this, we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore. I didn't expect that the weeds that grew casually in the mountains were such treasures, why didn't anyone notice it before, otherwise Qinghe Village would have benefited a lot. An uncle next to him said.
After the uncle finished speaking, he quickly went to the village chief's house, and the people around him also spontaneously went to inform the other people in the village, and they were very conscious that they didn't have to wait for the village chief to ask everyone to call people.
Soon the villagers of Qinghe Village came to the wasteland where the Qian family planted taro, and what they saw was a large pile of harvested taro, which was the first time everyone had seen so much grain, just ten acres of grain produced on the land, there were so many, it was very amazing, no wonder they were all called.
