Chapter 234: Saving the Year of Famine (23)

When the people in the village saw it, they actually dug out this round lump from the ground, no matter what it was, since the old lady let it be planed, it proved that this thing must be edible, and it grew from what was planted.

Whoever has the same mirror in his heart.

All of a sudden, the village chief and the others came to their senses, and they all went down to their respective fields, holding hoes, and adults and children were digging there.

Sure enough, a lot of this round lump was dug out of the ground.

Although the pimples in their field are not as strong as those in the old lady's field, at least they are.

And the kid broke the thing that wasn't round lumps, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it, but he didn't expect it to be sweet.

As soon as the big guys heard that this thing could be eaten, they immediately came to their senses, you must know that after the locusts, they all thought it was over, relying on this little food, let alone persisting until next year, this winter will not be able to pass.

Who would have thought that there would be another village.

So they all came to work, and the whole field was in full swing.

It was only three days of work for them to dig up everything in the ground.

Looking at these things piled up into a hill, they all blossomed, these things were much more than they imagined, they didn't expect that one acre of land could produce so much.

When they went back every day, Mrs. Zhang taught them how to eat this potato and sweet potato, which can be steamed and eaten directly, or roasted on the fire and eaten, of course, it can be left in it when cooking porridge.

Of course, sweet potatoes can also be ground into flour, and after grinding into flour, they can become noodles, and they can also be made into vermicelli, cold noodles, and vermicelli.

Eat it as a dish in a different way.

If you can't put the sweet potato, you can also cut it into slices and dry it. Wait until winter to put it directly in the pot and eat it.

This potato can be used as a vegetable, shredded and fried, eaten cold, and steamed directly as a staple food, especially the potato cakes and potato noodles made by Mrs. Zhang, these things are full of praise from the whole village, and this thing is full of food.

All of a sudden, everyone in the village came to their senses, and every family was busy.

Mrs. Zhang said that if you want to store these things, you must dig a cellar, and there is no way, otherwise these things will not be able to be stored.

Originally, there were some people in the village who had cellars, so naturally they had to expand it again.

Because this cellar has not been used for many years, and there is not even food, what is the use of the cellar!

The cellar is deserted, and now it has to be rebuilt.

After the repair, all the potatoes and sweet potatoes were transported in, mainly because the amount was too large.

After a rough weighing, this harvest was two or three hundred thousand catties.

At this time, even the village chief and a few old people were surprised, they didn't have much land to plant.

After all, the hands are there, and they can't plant more if they want to, mainly because the old lady's family planted more, and the old lady planted more than ten acres of wasteland in their family, and then opened twenty acres, and they added a few old people together, and they planted fifteen acres of land.

Forty-five acres of land yielded so many things.

In the past, they would produce a maximum of two or three hundred catties of grain per acre of land, and it was a bumper harvest year.

Who would have thought that an acre of land could produce thousands of catties?

Their combined population is less than 40 people, and so many people actually receive so many things, two or three hundred thousand catties, if you calculate the average family, it is nearly 10,000 catties.

If they are allowed to eat this thing, even if they eat one pound a day, it will only be 365 pounds a year.

No!

simply opened the belly to eat, 1,000 catties in 1 year that year, enough to support people to death.

I can't finish it, so even if they eat this little thing, it's enough for them to eat it for 10 years.

All of a sudden, it's a little joyful and worrying.

The main reason is that these things are not easy to preserve, and if they are broken, it is not a big loss.

Mrs. Zhang had a bumper harvest, and immediately asked her son to take the potatoes and sweet potatoes and went directly to Fucheng.

After beating so many things, it is impossible to eat them all.

A portion of it is enough for them to be rich for two or three years.

But you can't eat potatoes and sweet potatoes all at once.

It's okay to say that this sweet potato has to be heartburned if you eat too much.

No, she took sweet potatoes and potatoes directly to the restaurant owner, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the last time she received wild boar, don't you still worry about it.

When I heard that the old lady was coming with her son, I thought that I had brought wild goods again, but I didn't expect to see that these people came empty-handed, only bringing a cloth bag, which didn't contain many things at first glance, and I was a little disappointed.

But he politely welcomed people inside.

Mrs. Zhang directly asked her son to put the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the bag on the table.

Even if the shopkeeper is well-informed, he can't see what this thing is.

"What the hell is this thing, old lady? Please forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I really haven't seen it. But I figured it was a bit like taro or something, and it should be edible. ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded.

"The shopkeeper, to be honest, these two things, the round one is called a potato, this one is a long pointed head and a sharp brain, this one is called a sweet potato, which can be used as both food and vegetables, to tell you the truth, this is what we planted in the field ourselves.

This thing planted, I heard that it was something passed down from Fanbang, no one wanted to plant it, and we were also given to us by people on the way to escape the famine, it is said that this thing is highly productive, and we settled here, so we don't think we have to plant something.

Taking advantage of the good year, I can collect a little bit and calculate a little, but I didn't think that this thing is really high-yield, and there are thousands of catties of real estate per acre. After the locusts, everything in this field has been eaten, and we are not thinking of collecting this quickly, otherwise we will be hungry this year.

This time, I found the shopkeeper, and naturally I wanted to sell this thing to the shopkeeper. ”

The shopkeeper's heart moved, this is something from Fanbang, that's a novelty!

The problem is that they don't know how to do it.

The taro is boiled and cut into slices and then dipped in sugar.

Could it be that this thing eats like that?

"Old lady, you look strange at this thing, the problem is that I look at this thing is similar to taro, the problem is that the taro can't be sold at any price, after all, it's an ordinary food, and it can't make any tricks.

If you really have thousands of catties per acre of land, I'm afraid you have collected a lot, and if you sell it to our restaurant, we won't be able to sell it. Besides, I don't know what price you should ask for! The main thing is that I haven't seen it on the market. ”

The shopkeeper is also telling the truth, after all, taro is a thing that can be used for cooking for so many things, and there are no tricks.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes in front of them, who knows what they taste like, if they are not as good as taro, why do they spend money to find this sin.

However, I heard that this thing is a good thing, no matter whether this thing is delicious or not, but the people can fill their stomachs, then it is a good thing, the problem is that no matter how good the thing is, for their restaurant, what can't be sold in their restaurant is not a good thing.
