Chapter 137: Staple Food

"Old sister, I'm bothering you again. 1357924?6810ggggggggggd" As soon as the grandmother of the Li family came up, she gasped and apologized to greet Zhao's mother.

In the past, she was not rare to come to the Zhao family, but now it is different.

The Zhao family is fun here.

As long as the weather is not bad, there are people who come to rehearse every night. The people of the Zhao family are also said to be kind, and everyone who comes will greet them warmly.

In order to let the big guys have a show to watch and have a place to sit, Dashan also made a lot of long benches.

In this way, the Zhao family also vacated a room and courtyard so that everyone in the village could rehearse there.

"Hehe, look at what you said, old sister, it's our honor that you can come to our house. Sister, come quickly, let's go to the theater together. You don't know, I like to be lively, and I love to get hot every day. You're all right, but you have to come and stay with me every day. Another day, we old sisters can also play with young people. ”

"Huh? Can we also play? Before this old woman came out of the drama expectation, she was shocked by Zhao's mother's words.

"Accident, hehe, old sister, I remember that when we were young, we were also looking forward to drama or something. I've seen all these plays played by young people now, and it's not too difficult. Our old sisters have experienced a lot, and if you want to act in a play, it is not an easy thing. Although we are old, we are not so old that we can't move, maybe, we will rehearse the play one day and get our bodies right. If you look at it in a while, those scenes are really not difficult. If you are interested, a few of our old sisters, let's discuss and come to a show. ”

This time, the old grandmother was tempted.

In fact, she has experienced a lot of stories. Over the years, what I have heard and seen, if it is rehearsed and played, isn't it all a play.

"Okay, big sister, let's hurry up, and take a look at their little and young drama for a while, let's learn a little too." In the future, we will also perform some of our own operas to play. Haha......"

"What are you going to play with, don't take me with you!" At this moment, a puzzled voice came from behind him.

Zhao's mother and grandma turned around together, and when they saw someone coming, they told their plans.

"Well, that's a good thing. I've been looking at it for a few days, and I'm not hiding it, but I look at it, my body is itching, and I wondered, wouldn't it be nice to perform some of the things I saw? Now listening to the meaning of the two sisters, we really think of a bunch of them. ”

"Okay, let's learn quietly now, and when we're almost done, we'll start discussing how to arrange our story. Think again, the performance will ......" Zhao Mu waved her hand happily, and the old sisters decided so happily.

Of course, there will always be some people who are against the tune.

Some people who are stubborn think that if these big and small women are together, they can get things done. Some families strongly oppose it. Today you say that you have not finished the work at home, and tomorrow you will say that you have not carried anything innocent. In short, find something to make a fuss about.

But the potential of a person is truly limitless.

Because I like it, even if there are family members who are embarrassed, many daughters-in-law and children can seize the time, do their own work, and then go to the courtyard of the Zhao family to rehearse and perform together.

Sometimes time is really tight, and there is not so much time to rehearse, and after dinner or after a busy schedule, you have to take time to see how others are rehearsing.

As a result, the Zhao family is now very lively.

Don't worry about popularity every day.

Many people are used to it, and know that the room on the left is for rehearsals. Because there is a performance, and people come from time to time. Therefore, many times, the Zhao family did not lock that room.

After many people came, they pushed open the door and went in, found a bench, carried their own thick bowls, drank tea, rested, and almost got it. I started rehearsing, and this little day has passed......

However, rehearsals are rehearsals, and the work in the field still can't be left behind.

Moreover, when the spring is busy, everyone will no longer rehearse.

At this time, even Li Hongmei has to be consumed in the ground every day.

"Man'er Niang, what we grow here, except for millet, wheat, corn and the like, is there nothing else?"

Looking at the plants in the ground, Li Hongmei was sad. In the past few days, several sisters have begun to ask her to borrow food.

Although it is said that there are borrowed and repaid, these people will not repay their debts if they want to.

However, she is annoyed and worried about the future if she continues to borrow like this.

There are always such low-yield grains, and only by planting one acre of land can one or two hundred catties of grain be obtained. This planting is really terrible.

"Let's say, if you go to some places outside the country, you may be able to find some food. For example, I know what is the name of a certain outsider...... Back to Luo Village, they planted some such large things in their village. However, if you eat too much of that kind of thing, heartburn, it is said that you can only feed pigs or something, and the yield is not bad. ”

"Oh." Li Hongmei inquired in detail, only to know that the kind of thing Man'er Niang said was not sweet potatoes.

That kind of thing is a good thing. The yield of one mu alone can be hundreds of catties. Moreover, the kind of sweet potato can be grown without too much fertilizer in the ground.

As far as she knows, if the ground is too fertile, the sweet potato will only grow when it is planted, but the sweet potato will not grow much.

The best of all is some semi-sandy land, which is quite a bit in the village. As for eating heartburn?

To be honest, eating too much of that stuff is really not good. But sweet potatoes can be made into something else. For example, vermicelli, fans and the like.

Thinking that there are no sweet potato fans to eat in this era, Li Hongmei still feels regretful.

"Man'er Niang, how do you know that there is such a thing in that foreign fan? How long do we have to go here? Also, how many days will it take to go back and forth. If you go to this sweet potato of theirs, will the people of that village be? ”

Seeing that she was so excited, Man'er Niang sorted out her thoughts.

"Actually, the reason why I fled here back then was because I was an outsider.

However, my mother is from this side, so when I was young, I would say this way.

If my memory is correct, it will take more than a month to go back and forth to that village in Waifan, and I guess it will take more than a month to walk. And that's without getting lost. With such a long distance, there are many possibilities to get lost. ”

Li Hongmei's heart is cold, this backward place is really helpless.

According to Man'er Niang's voice, the itinerary of the outer fan is the distance from one city to another. It's just that walking on your feet makes this a long distance.

"Alas, without a map, it is indeed difficult to find such a place. In addition to walking blindly, walking around, if you want to get to the destination, it is enough to choke. ”

In this era, it's really easy to get lost just by walking to find a certain place.

In modern times, when you drive to a certain city, it is easy to get lost, and it can take half a day to rely on navigation or something.

In this era when there are no maps, when you go out, you feel like it's all mountains, or plains everywhere.

When you go far and you get lost and can't find your way home, it's really worth the loss.

Because of this, in addition to the nearby ten miles and eight towns, many people are not familiar with a certain place and are reluctant to go. The reason, in fact, is also related to the ease of disorientation.

"So, let's plant it like this first, but the kind of idea you mentioned to increase the yield can still be implemented. I'm going to keep the best millet from this year, and the seeds of the other millet and I'm going to breed them next year to see if I can get better and better every year. ”

"Well, there's hybridization, and I remember, some crops can actually be hybridized."

Thinking of modern hybrid rice, Li Hongmei is excited.

Those rice, people's yields are really good. At this time, rice had not yet reached high yields.

Upland rice is only grown in some semi-dry fields. The yield is so low that it makes people want to cry. For this reason, Li Hongmei thought that she had to invent some rice that could also be grown in dry land.

After all, there is no artificial rain in this era.

Once the weather is dry or flooded, you can only live by pointing to the grain of the old year.

In fact, once the peasants of this era were affected, a large number of their sons and daughters would starve to death. In this era, Li Hongmei's sense of crisis is quite strong.

"Hybrid, you can try this."

Although Man'er Niang didn't understand why millet could still be hybridized, she still followed her advice, turned around, and went to study and ponder those things.

"Even if there are few varieties of vegetables, you can barely find some wild vegetables to make do with them. But there are fewer plants in this staple food, and I am really sad about myself. ”

Li Hongmei looked at her land, and now it has all been developed and planted with wheat, but she still can't be happy in her heart. Because she knows too well that so much land has been planted, but there will not be much food to go.

"I'm still going to have to find a few staple foods. I miss the modern potato, and the sweet potato, and the upland rice. ”

"Lady, what do you want, I'll buy it for you." In the distance, Zhao Dashan didn't hear clearly, just thought she wanted something.

Li Hongmei snorted a little angrily. "What I want, you can't buy, big guy."

Zhao Dashan was not convinced. "Lady, you say what you want, I will specify it for you to buy, how can you not buy it, as long as you have the heart to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done."

"Really?" Li Hongmei was encouraged by these words, but she became excited.

At that moment, as if jokingly, he said his thoughts.

"O mountain, I really want something. It's just that you really can't give me this thing. It is said that in a village in Waibo, there is a plant called burnt heart, which is very productive, and I just want that kind of thing now, can you bring it to me? ”
