Chapter Forty-Eight: Father and Son Counsel
After eating, Yang Xu picked up two baskets of potatoes and gave them to Wang Hongxia and Lin Honghua respectively. Anyway, there are a lot of harvests, and there are still a lot of them in the poplar space, so the basket is full.
Lin Honghua looked at the two back baskets, pulled them a few times with her hands, and then chose one. Wang Hongxia couldn't see her virtue, so she glared at it.
Yang Xu is also quite helpless, Lin Honghua is really, she loves to take advantage of that.
Before leaving, Lin Honghua was quite unwilling, and the girl didn't take anything away for herself!
I wanted to talk about potatoes, but people filled the back basket with it, so why should I find fault with it?
Then I said something in and out of my words, I wanted something, such as meat, sugar, rice and noodles, and the dead girl didn't say a word, just wouldn't give it! In front of so many people, I can't ask for it!
"That rabbit is quite fat, and our family hasn't eaten rabbit meat yet! Why don't you get one for me? You've got three of them anyway! "
Seeing the rabbit outside the door, Lin Honghua moved her mind again. This rabbit is a little smaller, but it's also meat!
"Auntie, I raised it, and the rabbit is still young! My brother-in-law grabbed it for me to play with and didn't eat it. "
Tianbao retorted, "Auntie wants everything." Now he doesn't even let go of the rabbits he raises!
"You're a boy, what kind of rabbit are you playing!" Lin Honghua pouted.
"Lin Honghua, you're enough! Tianbao doesn't have any playmates in the mountains, what's wrong with raising a few rabbits? You want to make up your mind too! "
Wang Hongxia couldn't stand it anymore, and said a few words to Lin Honghua.
Lin Honghua wanted to say something more, but saw Yang Ergang's eyes glaring at her again.
Seeing that she couldn't get any bargains, Lin Honghua muttered a few words.
Lin Honghua was not happy in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it, so she had to go home with unwillingness.
……
At the village chief's house, today can be regarded as an all-potato feast. According to Yang Xu's several ways to eat, shredded potatoes, potato stew, boiled potatoes, and made mashed potatoes for the two-year-old grandson.
"Dad, what's this?" Yang Qing asked Yang Dajia.
Why is it that there are all things on the table today that I have never seen before? Skipping lunch at noon?
"If you can eat it, we will eat this at noon today." Yang Dajia had already taken a boiled potato, peeled it, and took a bite on his mouth.
It's not bitter, it doesn't have a strange taste, it's edible, it's delicious! Yang Dajia's eyes lit up, that's it!
"Oops, this shredded potato is quite delicious." Yang Dajia's daughter-in-law tasted a bite of shredded potatoes, not to mention, it was quite delicious.
"Well, it's delicious, the meat is delicious, and the potatoes in here are delicious."
Yang Qing saw that his father and mother had eaten it, so he ate this at noon today. Didn't dare to say anything, tasted potato stew. Hey! Delicious!
"Add some sugar water to Brother Liu's mashed potatoes, it's delicious." Yang Dajia looked at his little grandson with a smile, hey, this big fat boy, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
"Hey!" Yang Qing's daughter-in-law agreed with a smile.
"Dad, where did this potato come from, I've never seen it, and I've never even heard of it."
"In the morning, Wang Dayi brought the girl from the Yang family to send it, saying that she found it by accident, and she received it a few days ago, and then sent it to us to taste."
"Ao, is it the Wang Dayi who lives in the mountains and married Yang Xu?"
Yang Qing knows a little bit about it, and he has seen Wang Dayi a few times, so he doesn't have the prejudice of those people in the village, but thinks that he is a real man, a good hunter!
Yang Xu also knew that there were more people surnamed Yang in the village, more or less involved, and he also knew about Yang Xu's family at the beginning, and when Yang Xu first recovered from his serious illness, he also asked his daughter-in-law to send vegetables over.
"That's good, it's not easy for the two of you, remember us! This potato is very delicious, and it is full, so we will plant a little bit in the coming year! "
"Species! Our family will plant him three acres of land next year! "It's delicious, and the yield is so high, it must be planted!
"Ahem, ahem, Dad, let's just plant a little bit to eat, our family only has eight acres of land, and we have planted so many potatoes, what will our family eat next year!"
What the hell is going on! Just plant a little! I also want to use the family's field. Why can't you just think about it!
"Do you know the yield of these potatoes?" Yang Dajia glanced at his son lightly. If it weren't for the sake of insurance, he would have wanted to be more diverse!
"Huh? This is a high yield? How high can it be. "It's a little higher than wheat, but wheat can last a long time! It doesn't look like this potato can be left for long!
"Two thousand catties per mu!"
"What? Dad, don't lie to me, this thing has such a high yield! "Oh my God, I didn't hear it wrong!
"What are you lying to, the righteous family planted less than an acre of land and collected more than a thousand catties!"
"Dad, this is a big deal, this potato can be eaten as a staple food. With such a high yield, our village is well developed! At least when the year is bad, no one starves to death. "
Yang Qing put it away carelessly, looking at the potatoes on the table, his eyes lit up.
"Yes! So, I'm just thinking about how to deal with this, have a meeting or something, and talk to the big guys. Yang Dajia said.
But everyone hasn't been hungry again in the past two years, and if you don't starve, you may not want to change the status quo.
After all, this potato is unheard of by everyone, and the big guys don't dare to plant this uncertain thing on the land at home, after all, everyone has to rely on the few acres of land at home to eat.
"Dad, there's another thing, if everyone grows this, they won't be able to eat it for a while, and they can't save it!"
If there is no way to preserve it, it will not be eaten for a year, and it will not be able to be varied, otherwise it will all be spoiled.
"You don't have to worry about this, the girl of the Yang family said, these potatoes are dried and ground into powder, which can be eaten like boiled noodles, and it is easy to preserve. It is this fresh potato, put in the cellar, not too hot and not too cold, it can also be stored for a long time. "
"That's it. So what are we hesitating about? Next year, we will plant a few acres of potatoes! As for everyone, let's have a meeting and make it clear to everyone, and when the time comes, everyone will plant or not, and it will be up to them to go. "
Yang Qing also knew that everyone was hungry and scared before, and they valued the food in the field more than their lives. This involves the matter of food, and it is certainly not easy to make up your mind.
His father is the head of the village, and he must set an example by planting it first, and when the harvest is over, everyone will see it, and they will believe that the potato has a high yield.
Take a step back and say, his family has eight acres of land! Even if the potatoes are planted in vain, the remaining five acres of land will be planted with grain, and it will be a year.
After the father and son discussed, Yang Dajia decided to go to Wang Dayi's house in the afternoon.
"Dad, I'll go with you."
Then the father and son rested for a while after dinner, and in the afternoon they couldn't wait to go up the mountain.
