(Thanks: the "sachet" sent by the Cape Wangtian Cliff.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info it's the weekend today, and I wish you all a great weekend! Ask for subscriptions, ask for tickets. )

The cost of six pairs of medicines and fifteen yuan is indeed very cheap, and Dr. Xu also sent a few Huo Xiang heat-relieving pills to that girl. This is a medicine that is difficult to buy, this is researched by Dr. Xu and Yang Yun, and of course, Yang Yun stole the prescription from his previous life and told Dr. Xu to let him research and make it. At present, the pills are only available to people who are good with Dr. Xu, and the pills are not yet sold normally.

The girl got the medicine. I was grateful to Yang Yun and Dr. Xu, and went home with a thousand thanks.

"Grandpa Xu, how do you know that girl has no money, so you charged her fifteen yuan."

"I think it's the person you brought, so naturally you will have some face and get cheaper."

"Grandpa Xu, when did my face become so valuable." Yang Yun knew that Dr. Xu was joking with her.

"If you think your face is worthless, then I'll charge double the price next time."

"You are really mighty and domineering, I can't say you, I'll go home and be ......sad" Yang Yun talked to Dr. Xu and went home, the Yang family came to sell eggs from time to time, and Yang Yun didn't want to go away for too long. In fact, both she and Dr. Xu saw that girl, and the clothes she was wearing definitely had no less than 6 patches.

During the Yang family's days, there were people from other villages who came to sell raw eggs, Yang Yun calculated the general ledger, and the Yang family pickled a total of 3,000 salted eggs, of which 1,000 were spiced salted eggs. Now in the courtyard of the Yang family, a relatively shady corner, there are countless jars of pickled salted eggs, which looks quite spectacular.

The little rabbit of the Yang family was finally born forty days ago, and today is the day when the rabbit is weaned and moved to the nest, and the eight little rabbits can leave the mother rabbit and stay in another nest to feed. This morning, Yang Yun took the two new cages that had been cleaned to the outside of the utility room, and divided the eight rabbits into two cages and locked them up.

Generally, female rabbits give birth to rabbits, and they can be remated after two months, but the rabbits born later are prone to illness and death, the female rabbits of the Yang family, Yang Yun let her have baby rabbits so early, and Yang Yun doesn't know where to find a male rabbit to come back, and the market doesn't know if anyone sells live male rabbits.

The weaning period of baby rabbits is generally 35-45 days, and Yang Yun chooses 40 days, which will make the survival rate of rabbits higher, and Yang Yun will be responsible for feeding rabbits in the future. The Yang family is also going to start getting busy recently, and it is already July, and the Yang family and the Li family agreed that tomorrow, they will go to the back mountain to dig out the sweet potatoes that were planted in the first acre.

After the family finished eating that morning, Grandpa, Yang Yong, and Uncle Li went to dig sweet potatoes in the wasteland behind the mountain. Yang Yun finished washing the clothes and feeding the chickens and pigs before carrying a bamboo basket with a few bowls and a large pot of summer tea. Yang Yun was based on the recipe of her previous life, and after asking Doctor Xu, she boiled a pot of tea. The recipe is boiled from three ingredients: hawthorn slices, honeysuckle, and chrysanthemum.

Because of the addition of hawthorn slices, there is a faint sour taste, and after drinking, I feel that the mouth is quite sweet, delicious and thirst-quenching. Yang Yun went to the back mountain and poured out some summer tea for her grandfather to drink. Yang Yun went to pick up sweet potatoes by herself, Uncle Li and Grandpa, Yang Yong, and Dabao took turns to turn the sweet potatoes out of the soil, and Yang Yun, Xiaobao, and Aunt Li were responsible for unscrewing the sweet potato vines behind them, and the sweet potatoes were picked up in the bamboo basket.

The tender rhizomes and leaves of the sweet potato vine can be cooked and fed to the pigs, and the older sweet potato vines can be fed to the cows.

The two families got up early and worked in the dark, and spent four days digging up all the sweet potatoes in one acre of land. Digging sweet potatoes is a delicate job, in order not to dig bad sweet potatoes, you have to be careful when digging. Although they were very careful, there were still a lot of sweet potatoes, which were cut in half by the hoe, and Yang Yong and Dabao dug the most sweet potatoes, and the two young men did not master the strength.

After digging all the sweet potatoes, they were cleaned of the soil and stored in the Yang family's cellar. Yang Yun suggested that the two families divide the sweet potatoes at first, but Uncle Li had heard Yang Yun say that he wanted to make sweet potatoes for food, so he made the decision to put all the sweet potatoes on the Yang family's side. The spoiled sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines were divided equally between the two families and fed to the pigs.

The yield of sweet potatoes on this acre of land is gratifying, grandpa they estimated that the sweet potatoes harvested from this acre of land are at least 1,300 catties, which is much higher than the previous wasteland yield, and the sweet potatoes harvested from an acre of land before were about 5 or 600 catties, and the recovered sweet potatoes are a few hundred catties more.

Grandpa they don't want to take a look, the wasteland is paved with a layer of river mud, grandpa they go to the big pit of manure from time to time, pick fertilizer and water sweet potatoes, you say that the sweet potato field fertilizer is so sufficient, can the yield not be high. The Yang family now raises pigs and chickens, and those manure are the best organic fertilizer.

"If the sweet potatoes grown by the people in the village have such a high yield, then the people in our village will not have to go hungry in the future." Grandpa looked at more than 1,000 catties of sweet potatoes and sighed with emotion.

Alas! Grandpa's yield is satisfied, and when the wasteland is raised for a few more years, the yield of sweet potatoes in one acre of wasteland can be increased to 2,000 catties in the future. In the previous life, if you plant sweet potatoes casually, one acre of land can produce about 2,000 catties to 3,000 catties, what is this more than 1,000 catties.

"But no, Yun girl said at the beginning that she would use sweet potato vines to sow seeds, I didn't believe it, I didn't expect it to be successful, I think the other four acres of sweet potatoes we planted, the yield will not be low at that time."

"That's for sure, you can see the sweet potato vine, the sweet potato vine is thick, and the leaves are dark green, which proves that the fertilizer we have is very sufficient, and the yield is definitely not low. Let's use the method of doubling vines to sow sweet potatoes, I think we have to talk to Li Zheng, let our village use this method to plant sweet potatoes in the future, which can not only save a lot of sweet potato seeds, but also increase the yield in everyone's field. ”

"Well, I should talk to Li Zheng about this." Uncle Li also agreed with his grandfather's opinion.

"Grandpa, Uncle Li, don't be in a hurry about this, it's not too late to tell Li Zheng after our other four acres of sweet potatoes are harvested. Seeing is believing, and when the time comes, everyone will see that we have collected so many sweet potatoes, and they will believe what we say. This will be sweet potatoes and they have not been harvested, where would they believe that one acre of land can produce so many sweet potatoes. ”

"Yun girl said the same, Xiaobao and his father, let's wait for the sweet potatoes to be harvested next month, and then talk to Li Zheng."

"Well, listen to you, by the way, Yun girl, didn't I hear you say that you want to take sweet potatoes to eat? What are you going to do? ”

"Keep this secret first, Uncle Li, you will know when the time comes, I still have to study the food of this sweet potato." Yang Yun wants to precipitate sweet potato flour first, but how to cut sweet potatoes into puree and then precipitate sweet potato flour is a big problem.

"You girl, you won't spoil the food again, I can tell you, if you spoil these sweet potatoes, see how I clean you up." Food is the foundation of a family's survival, and grandpa naturally doesn't want Yang Yun to waste food.

"Grandpa, don't worry, no matter how ignorant I am, I won't spoil the sweet potatoes we worked so hard to grow. I just want to get some new food to eat, you think about it, more than 1,000 catties of sweet potatoes can not be sold much after deducting taxes. If I turn these sweet potatoes into something valuable, our two families will be able to make more money and buy rice to eat. ”

"Hehe, Yun girl's bag of melons is good, Uncle Li believes in you, if you want to find someone to work, look for Uncle Li."

"Okay, in the future, our two families will make money together."

"Xiaobao and his father, you are used to her, it is because of your connivance with her that she is becoming more and more lawless."

Grandpa, I am your granddaughter, why can't you trust your granddaughter more, Yang Yun turned over in her heart. Yang Yun felt that Uncle Li trusted Yang Yun more than his grandfather, and if Yang Yun had any kind of method, Uncle Li would always support Yang Yun easily. Grandpa's thinking should be more conservative, after all, the older generation wants to live a stable life, and Uncle Li has two children at home, and he will always help the children marry his daughter-in-law and build a house in the future.

This is a deep-rooted tradition in a country for thousands of years. People always have to gamble to have a chance to win a different future.

When Yang Yun went to bed at night, her mind was full of thoughts about how to puree the whole sweet potato. It is not possible to use a stone mill to grind beans, and it is necessary to cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces first, and then put them in the stone mill to grind, which is too labor-intensive and material-intensive. Yang Yun suddenly thought of Zhou Limin's master, Yang Yun hadn't seen Zhou Limin for a long time, and heard Chun'er say that now Zhou Limin's master took him with him, and often went to many places to help others do carpenter work.

Yang Yun felt that Zhou Limin was very talented, Yang Yun originally drew a few patterns, and asked Zhou Limin to help carve pastry molds, and he helped Yang Yun design a more beautiful and special mold on the original drawing, at that time, Zhou Limin had only studied for a few months, and he had such achievements, this Zhou Limin was quite talented.

Yang Yun wanted to tell her thoughts and tell Zhou Limin's master to see if he could help Yang Yun make a blender. Yang Yun's idea is also quite simple, it is designed according to the appearance of the electric mixer in a modern home, but there is no electricity. How to change the blender from electric to human, or use an animal to pull the blender so that the blender can puree the sweet potatoes.

"Chun'er, when will your eldest brother come back?" When Yang Yun went to the river to wash clothes the next day, she asked about Chun'er, if Zhou Limin came back, his master must have come back from other places.

"My eldest brother will go home tomorrow, Xiao Yun, you won't be, you can count it, so you can guess that my eldest brother is going home soon." Yang Yun was sweating wildly on the side, this is too coincidental, I only thought about finding Zhou Limin's master last night, and asked about Chun'er today, Zhou Limin will come back tomorrow.
