Chapter 364: Harvest

The people of Baihua Village have been picking sweet potato vines in their own fields to feed the pigs, there is a reminder from Su Banxia before, every household in the village has raised five or six pigs, and the least has raised four, which is something that is unimaginable compared to previous years, the most pigs are raised by the village chief's family, and Bai Songlin's family has more land, plus Bai Songlin believes in Su Banxia very much, not only built a new pigsty, but also bought ten pigs in one breath to raise.

In the past, there were important people in the family who went to look for wild boar grass, and this year they only needed to pick sweet potato vines in the field, and the sweet potato vines in the field also raised ten small pigs into half-sized fat pigs, and they could be sold at the end of the year.

The pigs raised at home grew well, and the sweet potato tips were pinched to sell before, and the people in the village had a much better life.

Bai Songlin took the villagers to his field first, and the stubble vines of the sweet potato vines were all picked, and the rest was the main vine, which according to Su Banxia's previous statement was to keep it for the last cut.

Su Banxia was the first to bear it, took a sickle and cut off the vines, and said: "You cut these old vines first, bundle them into a handful, and chop them directly after you go home. ”

In modern times, there is no such trouble, she has seen it all packed in large plastic bags, and when needed, it can be taken out and fed to the pigs.

Bai Songlin was happy and beckoned the people in the village to cut pigweed, which was specially discussed by everyone, and they didn't want Su Banxia's salary, so they took the initiative to come.

The previous wages Su Banxia paid off for everyone, and Su Banxia, who sold sweet potatoes, did not accept their silver, but helped them introduce the restaurant in the city, and the people in the village were very grateful, how could they ask for Su Banxia's silver at this time.

A swarm of bees, the villagers went to the ground and began to cut pigweed, and the white pine forest brought a few five big and three thick men in the village to help dig sweet potatoes.

When the first sweet potato was dug out, looking at the bowl mouth of a big sweet potato in front of him, and there were a few fist-sized sweet potatoes hanging under the vines, Xie knew that it was done.

The few adults who came with me didn't expect that looking at the plain vine, there were so many sweet potatoes below, and this sweet potato would cost five or six catties to say the least.

A sweet potato plant weighs five or six pounds, how many sweet potatoes can be obtained from this acre of land.

Su Banxia didn't want everyone to be disappointed, so she took precautions in advance: "Maybe there won't be so many sweet potatoes in the future, everyone is happy too early." ”

It was like a ladle of cold water poured over the heads of several people.

Xie Xiaoxiao's mentality is very good, and he said happily: "I'll dig it too, even if it's not so heavy, I think no matter how bad I am, I have to have a harvest of one or two catties, and it's not bad to go down an acre, it's much better than planting corn and sorghum." ”

He is very optimistic, because he has seen the sweet potatoes planted by Su Banxia before, and he knows how little this harvest is, but the overall difference will not be too big.

Several other adults were also eager to try, and Su Banxia did not stop them, letting these pampered adults go to the field to do farm work.

It's all hot and fresh, for example, after Xie Zhizhi dug up more than a dozen sweet potatoes, he was already tired, and the other adults were not much better.

The sweet potatoes in the ground were dug out, this piece of land is sandy, it is relatively easy to dig, the dug up sweet potatoes were thrown together, Su Banxia got the sweet potatoes from the sweet potato vines, put them in the basket, and the dug sweet potatoes were thrown aside, planning to pick them out and eat them separately.

After Xie Zhizhi handed the hoe to a man in the village, he picked up a sweet potato that had been dug up, went to the side of the stream to wash it, and gnawed it with the skin.

Several adults were dumbfounded: "Lord Xie, can this sweet potato still be eaten raw?" ”

Xie Zhizhi had a triumphant expression and said, "You don't know this, sweet potatoes are eaten in a variety of ways, and they are sweet when eaten raw, I don't believe you can try them, they taste very good." ”

In Qingxi Village before, he especially liked to eat raw sweet potatoes, but there were not so many at that time, and he didn't dare to let go of them.

Now that there are so many sweet potatoes, you can finally do whatever you want.

They came to supervise the digging of sweet potatoes, and although they were tired, they didn't have any reason to go back, and they worked with everyone in the fields.

Su Banxia has never been a delicate person, everyone is busy with her work, she naturally has to help, the convoy has been waiting outside for a long time, baskets of sweet potatoes were carried into the carriage and put away, the weighing sweet potatoes Sinan candle bookkeeping, before Xie Zhizhi also said the purchase price of the imperial court, six yuan a catty, this price is compared to Su Banxia's zero sale that is the price of cabbage, but Su Banxia is very satisfied, after all, the court is a big buyer.

A basket of sweet potatoes is about 100 catties, and the difference is not big, Si Nanzhu sent away a carriage of sweet potatoes, and more than 10,000 catties have been recorded in the account book.

There is a lot of land in Baihua Village, and Su Banxia calculated it and estimated that he could dig about 100,000 catties of sweet potatoes.

If you add Qingxi Village, this year's sweet potatoes will be enough for her to make a fortune.

The rotten sweet potatoes Su Banxia did not waste it, and after sending some to the people in the village to eat, he contacted the restaurants in Ningyang City and Changping County, and those restaurants knew that there were sweet potatoes for sale, although they were dug up, but it did not affect the consumption, and they bought more than half of them directly when they came to the village.

The remaining small half, after Su Banxia kept some for himself, gave it all to the people of Baihua Village.

This busy day is more than ten days, and there is also news from Qingxi Village that all the sweet potatoes have been dug up.

And Xie knew that it was enough here, and Su Banxia began to arrange for Baihua Village to go to Qingxi Village to pull sweet potatoes back.

Previously, they were all satisfied with Xie Zhi, so that Baihua Village did not have any good sweet potatoes left, and when the accounts were calculated, Su Banxia was shocked, this is not a small number, more than 90,000 catties of sweet potatoes, which she never dreamed of.

Thanks to the fertile land of Baihua Village, and the abundance of land, she alone has fifty acres of land, not to mention the land of the rest of the people in the village.

The silver had to wait until he returned to Shengjing City to get it, and Su Banxia was not in a hurry, so he sent Xie Zhixiao away, and then returned to Qingxi Village with Sinan Candle.

Everything in Qingxi Village was taken care of by Su Yuanyuan, and the people in the village did not show favoritism, the sweet potatoes were piled up together, and there was not even a mention of silver.

Su Banxia was grateful, and bought all the sweet potatoes at the price of the imperial court, and then gave the sweet potatoes bred in Baihua Village, of course, if the village next door to Baihua Village wanted to grow sweet potatoes, they had to pay for it.

After these columns were busy, another five or six days passed, Su Banxia found a carriage, arranged things, and left with Si Nanzhu.

For most of the month, Su Banxia and Sinan Candle were very tired, and in order to leave early, the two of them worked very hard.
