Chapter 32: The Great Harvest
Those people of the original Zhang Ying tribe don't see it that way, the leader's ability is obvious to all, a small tribe that was about to become extinct, under the leader's management in just a few months, it immediately grew to more than 2,000 people, and also produced enough food for tens of thousands of people.
A leader with such outstanding abilities will definitely be in the thick of the future! And the leader has a deep affection for Yingzi, which is a great joy for those people in Zhang Yingyuan's tribe.
Eighteen "village officials" followed Li Mo to the place where the sweet potatoes were stacked, picked up a huge sweet potato from the ground and said:
"Brothers, this sweet potato is full of treasures, and there are many ways to eat it, let's talk about the first one first; Raw. ”
Yun Mo pulled out the hunting knife he brought when crossing from his waist, peeled off the sweet potato skin three times and divided it by two, and a snow-white sweet potato appeared in front of him, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they looked at the snow-white sweet potato meat.
"This sweet potato is crispy and sweet when eaten raw, let's try it."
Yun Mo put the snow-white sweet potato meat in the palm of his hand, slashed it on the sweet potato meat with a hunting knife, and then with a slight pull, a small piece of sweet potato meat was separated.
The training effect is good, during this time, Yun Mo trained with all the soldiers, not to mention how many killing skills Yun Mo has learned, but the speed and strength of the knife, he can already control it as he wants.
A small piece of sweet potato meat was distributed to the hands of the eighteen "village officials", and the "village officials" hurriedly put the piece of sweet potato meat in their mouths and chewed it;
"Click......"
"It's so sweet."
"It's crunchy and sweet."
"Chief, this sweet potato is so delicious."
After Yun Mo ate the raw sweet potato in his hand, he clapped his hands and continued:
"The second way is to cook and eat directly, you send someone to send some to the kitchen, and you will eat boiled sweet potatoes at noon today."
"Okay, I'll send someone."
The head of the household is in charge of the money and grain, and this kitchen is also under his control. The village official-level household secretary is still in charge of more than 2,000 people's food and kitchens, and this power is not small.
"The third way to eat is also the main way to eat, 80% of the sweet potatoes we harvest should be stored in this way.
It is to grind sweet potatoes into powder and dry them to make potato noodles, and potato noodles can be made into very delicious sweet potato steamed buns. ”
Hubu Shangshu was not calm, and after he confessed his sin to Yun Mo, he called a few people to carry a basket of sweet potatoes to do the experiment.
This place in the Western Regions ferments quickly, and after a day or two, you can eat delicious sweet potato steamed buns. The Han nation, known as the foodie nation, can quickly invent a variety of ways to eat as long as it can be eaten.
In addition, the two acres of measured sweet potato land have also been weighed, and the yield per mu is more than 7,000, and the more than 3,000 acres of sweet potato land can definitely harvest more than 20 million catties of sweet potatoes.
The water content of sweet potatoes is about 50 percent, and more than 20 million catties of sweet potatoes can get more than 10 million noodles.
An average person eats two catties of noodles a day, and needs 800 catties of noodles a year, and more than 10 million catties of noodles can feed more than 100,000 people.
Scarcity is precious, people in the Western Regions hardly farm, he is considered a nomadic people, most of the grain in the Western Regions is transported by merchants, at least how can the grain transported from hundreds of miles away be cheap.
If you don't eat meat for a long time, an adult man can easily eat five or six catties of noodles a day, in this case, why doesn't Yun Mo use noodles to exchange for livestock?
Yingzi's personality is introverted, wherever Yun Mo goes, she follows silently, never saying much, but Yun Mo just likes this kind of character, because his mother is such a character.
When Yun Mo looked at the sweet potato, he went to see the harvest of other crops, the planting area of these crops is not large, and all the harvest can only be used to make seeds.
Qingxiang Valley is really a treasure land, the land here is fertile, all kinds of crops brought here by Yunmo have obtained different degrees of bumper harvests, the yield of wheat per mu has reached 960 catties, the yield of potatoes per mu has reached more than 5,000 catties, the yield of corn per mu has reached more than 1,800 catties, the yield of cotton per mu has reached more than 930 catties, and the yield of hybrid rice per mu has also reached more than 900 catties......
After seeing all this, Yun Mo and Yingzi walked back, and the two talked quietly as they walked:
"Brother Yun, winter is coming, but we don't have many clothes to protect us from the cold!"
"This matter must be done quickly, and the green salt will be exchanged, and if Jiaohe City is not enough, it will be exchanged in Xizhou City, Hami City, and Gaochang City."
"Can't you exchange it for food? The grain we have harvested now is enough to feed more than 2,000 people for five or six years. ”
"Silly girl, food is the foundation of our development, and although green salt is a necessity, for us, we can have as much as we want."
"What if I can't change that much?"
"If you can't change so much cotton, you can change more fur, aren't we producing coal here? Wait a minute, I'll design a hot kang to ensure that you can't freeze it. ”
"Brother Yun knows so much, but I'm too stupid to help Brother Yun."
After Yingzi finished speaking, he lowered his head sadly, and Yun Mo gently shook Yingzi's little hand, and said with a smile:
"A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, not to mention that our family Yingzi is talented and virtuous!"
In seven or eight days, all the crops were harvested, and several caves and several granaries were filled.
……
People's greatest contribution to themselves is to make themselves happy, to enrich their taste buds, and eating is the most eternal theme in life.
I believe that even if people who eat do not have dreams, in the face of food, they will become dreamy and have dreams, that is, to eat a good meal and eat it well.
The sweet potato steamed buns and millet porridge in Qingxiang Valley are rare delicacies in the Western Regions at this time.
More than a dozen large steamers are lined up, the steamers are filled with white and fat sweet potato steamed buns, and next to each steamer is a large vat of millet porridge and a large vat of mutton soup, the mutton soup is topped by a layer of shiny oil flowers, and the green green onions ripple in the oil flowers.
Sweet potatoes, millet porridge, and mutton soup emitted an enticing aroma, and the more than 2,000 people queuing up to eat, each holding a clay bowl larger than his head, all swallowed their saliva and stared at the rows of steamers.
"Chief, please come to the front."
At this time, Yun Mo also came to line up to eat with a large clay bowl, of course there is a small stove in the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhang Ying and Mei Lan Zhuju can eat a small stove in the City Lord's Mansion.
And Yun Mo just came to eat a big pot of rice, whether it was to buy people's hearts, Yun Mo didn't understand, but before the crossing, Yun Mo watched the anti-Japanese drama on TV, and the commander of our army would always eat with the soldiers, and Yun Mo would draw a gourd according to the scoop.
Yun Mo put down the shelf and ate a big pot of rice with everyone for a while, his prestige did not diminish in the slightest, but made everyone feel that their leader was amiable and a good leader worthy of entrusting his life.
