Chapter 44: Potatoes

The wheat was brought back, and Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Hurry up and let Wang Dayi rest. After dinner, the ears of wheat were threshed.

"We don't have much wheat in our family, so I plan to keep it for myself and not sell it."

"Cheng, didn't you say you were going to open a bun shop? Just need a lot of it. "

Yang Xu also discussed with Wang Dayi, they must have a regular business student when they go to the town in the future, so it is just right to make a morning shop.

The steamed buns in town really don't taste good, and there are too few varieties. Yang Xu thought that he would open an early shop, and he and Wang Dayi would be busy and make a profit.

She likes to make some food, and she can't do anything else. What's more, she still has a share in Yipinxiang. Plus opening a shop, it will definitely be enough.

……

While resting, the two men grinded the wheat into flour and sifted it several times before it became yellowish flour.

The harvest in this village is quite good, and less than 500 catties of wheat have been harvested per acre of land.

Yang Fu didn't want the black flour, so the flour was sifted several times, and in the end, the wheat from two acres of land got more than 600 catties of flour.

On the contrary, it was the potato that gave Yang Xu a big surprise.

She planted a large piece of land at that time, less than one acre, and as a result, she collected more than 1,000 catties!

She didn't grow potatoes in modern times, but she had always heard that the potato yield was particularly high, but she didn't expect it to be so high!

Potatoes are not only eaten as vegetables, but can also be eaten boiled and steamed, which is similar to the effect of sweet potatoes. But it's much higher than the yield of sweet potatoes!

Potatoes can also be made into flour, which means that flour can be used to make many staple foods. At least food and clothing can solve the problem.

Yang Xu thought about it for a long time, this is a big deal, if it is a small fight, he will keep his own money or something. But this involves food and clothing, and that's the big deal.

"Brother Dayi, what do you say we should do? If I just don't say anything, I feel a little weak, after all, this is also something in the space. I ......"

"Then let's hand it over to the village chief, and say that it was discovered by accident. I tried to plant it, and then I clearly told the village chief about the yield, and then handed him more than half for him to distribute, and let the village chief decide the rest. "

At the beginning, Wang Dayi only heard Yang Xu say that the yield of potatoes was high, and he thought that the yield of the things planted in the ground was only a few hundred catties per acre, and no matter how high it was, it could not be a thousand catties.

As a result, I found out that this acre of land must have a yield of 2,000 catties!

This is also a good thing to improve everyone's life, and it is handed over to the village chief and let him decide for himself. Whether it is planted for the people in the village, and then reported or forgotten, these are up to him.

"Cheng, let's collect everything first. Forget about other things, and you won't report it. As for this potato, we will go to the village chief's house in two days and ask about the situation first. "

Mung beans have also been harvested a lot, and this mung bean should also be available in this era, but everyone doesn't know it.

There are also red beans, and Yang Fu doesn't grow too much, she mainly makes bean paste. The steamed buns with bean paste filling are delicious. It just so happened that he was going to open an early shop.

Wang Dayi was very happy, he used to love to eat bean paste filling, but he planted all the flocculents, and left a little to make the stuffing and sell rock sugar gourds. Now that I have collected so much, I can eat enough.

Yang Xu actually didn't care much about the high-yield potatoes, and the most important thing was the rapeseed and soybeans planted.

She eats meat oil every day, and she is a little tired. This canola can be used to make rapeseed oil.

When the time comes, the fritters can be fried, and there are sugar cakes or something, but they are all the best choice for the morning!

For soybeans, she prefers them.

The first is soybean paste, which can be used as soy sauce for cooking. You can also make a variety of sauces to eat. Whether it's putting small shrimp in it, or making meat sauce, mushroom sauce, and poplar catkins, I like it very much!

There is also tofu and soy milk, which is handled properly, and it is another profitable business.

Whether it is a dish made of tofu and dried tofu, it is soy milk, bean curd......

Anyway, there are many, many delicious things that can be made!

It took the two of them several more days to get all those things away and deal with them.

"Brother Dayi, I want to invite my uncle and aunt and cousin to come to the house for a meal."

Yang Xu originally said that he would invite Yang Jiadong and Wang Hongxia to have a meal at home. But Yang Ergang also helped, so it was reasonable, it was not good not to invite them.

Simply, she invited them all, although she didn't like Lin Honghua, but she just had a meal, and it was nothing.

"Cheng, we're all done, we have time. Is it that we should go to the village chief's house first to talk about the potatoes, or should we invite everyone to have a meal first? "

"Let's do it together! Let's go to the village chief's house tomorrow morning, half a day will definitely be enough, and then we will go to my aunt's house and my cousin's house, and invite them to dinner at noon. "

"Okay." Wang Dayi nodded.

……

Early the next morning, Yang Xu and Wang Dayi carried a basket of potatoes and went to the village chief Yang Dajia's house.

Yang Dajia had just eaten breakfast, and when the farm was over, he also rested for a few days, and it was rare to have a lazy sleep.

It was not early to wake up in the morning, so I had breakfast slowly. This year's harvest is very good, there are no more starving people, everyone can have a good winter this year, and he, the village chief, is also happy!

"Oh, Dayi and the girl are here."

"Uncle Yang is good."

"Come in and sit. Do you have anything to do? "

The two followed Yang Dajia into the house, and the village chief's daughter-in-law poured water for the two of them and brought a plate of peanuts over.

"Auntie is polite." Yang Xu said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's planted on my own land, and I collected a little. I also have to buy it, you eat a little, I only fried it in the morning. "

"Hey! Thank you, auntie. "

People really give it to you, and you can't be too polite. So Yang Xu took one and tasted it.

"Uncle, I'm here to show you something, this is it."

Wang Dayi took out the basket and showed a potato to Yang Dajia.

"What is this?"

"I call this a potato because it grows in the soil. Eatable. And there are many ways to eat it. It can be eaten as a vegetable, as a staple food or ground into flour. "

"How's the yield? Did you plant it? "

Yang Dajia hurriedly sat up straight, much more serious, this is a major matter involving food.

"That's why I came to the village chief. I found it by accident, and then I cut it into pieces and planted it, planted less than an acre of land, and harvested more than 1,000 catties. "

Wang Dayi also said solemnly.

"What! How many pounds? Yang Dajia couldn't believe it, did he hear it wrong?

"More than 1,000 catties, if you have an acre of land, you can have 2,000 catties." Wang Dayi understood the shock of the village chief, and he was also shocked at that time.

"Two thousand catties per mu!" Oh my God!
