The store sells raw sweet potatoes directly, and they are no longer roasted and then sold like before, and the size is not as uniform as the previous roasted sweet potatoes. Therefore, the way of selling is different, it is no longer about selling by catty, and it costs eight pennies a catty.

After all, raw sweet potatoes are cheaper than roasted sweet potatoes, and the price is close to the people, and ordinary people can afford them.

The price of rice is relatively high, 100 wen per bucket, which is much more expensive than the price of 60 wen per bucket of rice sold by other rice shops in the county.

But the guy in the store explained that their rice varieties are different, and they are more fragrant and chewy than ordinary rice.

Ordinary people will not buy this kind of rice, they only want to be full, and pursue cost performance, not taste.

The different selling price strategies were formulated by Wei Ruo, and the sweet potatoes were mainly for ordinary people, and the prices were low, so that everyone could afford to eat them. If you meet someone who has not eaten for a long time due to the thin face and thin muscles, the store will also give each other a few for free.

The sales target of rice is a dignitary who has the pursuit of quality of life, firstly, the rice she purchased from Huzhou Mansion does have this quality, which is worthy of this price, and secondly, the purchase cost and transportation cost of these rice Wei Ruo should also be taken into account, and the price will naturally increase.

As for the mushroom sauce, Wei Ruo made it himself.

She and Xiumei boiled a large pot in the small kitchen of Yingzhuyuan together, and then filled twenty jars in small clay pots.

Because the amount of the first production was not large, Wei Ruo did not plan to sell it in the store, but used it to eat and give it away.

When Wei Ruo went to Xie's house for class the next day, Wei Ruo sent two cans to Mr. Wang, and then sent two cans of shiitake mushroom sauce to Xie Ying.

Xie Ying took the two small earthen jars that Wei Ruo handed her and asked Wei Ruo curiously, "What is this?" ”

"This is shiitake mushroom sauce."

"Shiitake mushroom sauce? Made with shiitake mushrooms? ”

"Well, put some lard in the pot, add minced meat and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in green onions, ginger, garlic, diced mushrooms, and then add salt, cooking wine, pepper powder, and white sugar and stir-fry evenly. Finally, add some soy sauce. Wei Ruo explained.

Xie Ying was stunned when she heard it: "I don't understand, but I feel very powerful." Can you eat this sauce straight? I don't know how to cook, but I know if I've eaten it, and I know if it's good or not. ”

"It is generally used for bibimbap, vegetables, noodles and the like, and it will be a little salty if eaten directly, and it is natural to eat it." Wei Ruo replied.

"That's fine."

Xie Ying couldn't wait to ask the maid to bring her chopsticks, then opened the jar, dipped a little with the tip of the chopsticks, and put it in her mouth.

Xie Ying's eyes lit up instantly: "It's so fragrant, it's delicious!" ”

Xie Ying really thinks it is delicious, she likes the rich taste of this sauce, with the aroma of meat and mushrooms, as well as the rich taste of soy sauce.

"If you like it, if you like. I'll bring it to you when I'm done. This should be fresh, it will affect the quality if it is left for too long, and I will make some new ones for you after a while. Wei Ruo replied.

Although it can be stored properly for some time by firing it with soy sauce, covering it with cooked oil, and sealing it with an earthen jar, it cannot be stored as long as it is in modern times with preservatives and vacuum packaging.

"Good. In that case, I'll give my brother a little bit. I was reluctant to give him only two cans, but if there were more, I would have been a little nicer to him! Xie Ying said.

"Hmm." Wei Ruo couldn't help but smile, the unique way of getting along with the Xie family brothers and sisters was very cute in her opinion.

After all the sweet potatoes were harvested, Wei Ruo was ready to plant new crops. Land resources are limited and cannot be left empty.

At this point in time, there are suitable for mountain planting, rape, radish, and broad beans are all very good choices.

If you really consider the cost performance, it is best to plant wheat at this time, so that it can be harvested from April to June of the lunar calendar next year.

However, the terrain of this Xiaoyang Mountain is not suitable for wheat planting, and the original choice to grow sweet potatoes is because sweet potatoes do not need to do too much treatment for sloped mountains.

In contrast, the terrain in the south of the city is more suitable for growing wheat.

When a large area of waste land was opened up in the south of the city, Wei Ruo not only bought a medicine field with Xie Ying, but also asked the nurse to buy a large amount of land.

Although the land purchased by the nurse is not geographically as good as the one that the government is free to open to the poor people, the terrain is still much better than the mountainous land in the north of the city.

The price was also cheap, and fifty taels of silver claimed a full hundred acres of flat land.

After this period of improvement, the land is ready to grow crops. Wei Ruo planned to plant wheat on that land. When the wheat is harvested next year, it will be just the right time to plant Wei Ruo's late rice varieties.

Not only did Wei Ruo plan to plant wheat on the land purchased by the nurse, but Wei Ruo also planned to let other people in the south of the city also plant wheat.

It is too late to plant rice at this time, but if you grow ordinary vegetables, it is not cost-effective for the poor people who have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing.

Although the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Road like to eat rice far more than pasta, but in this case, who cares so much, and being able to grow grain to feed their stomachs is the most important thing.

To promote this matter with the people in the south of the city, Wei Ruo needs the help of the government.

So Wei Ruo called Mama Qin and told Mama Qin what he thought. She knew that Chu Lan was profitable in this matter, so she didn't have to beat around the bush to make requests to his people, let alone be embarrassed.

"Miss Wei is very good, planting wheat at this time is indeed the best choice." Mama Qin very much agreed with Wei Ruo's judgment.

"If I can, I also hope that Mama Qin can help to transport wheat seeds from the north, but there are still very few wheat plants in Taizhou Prefecture, and there are not enough wheat seeds. In the south of the city, the planting area is large, and the amount of wheat seeds needed is very large, and those people are already penniless, and it is very difficult to obtain wheat seeds on their own. ”

"Miss Wei, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Seventh will help Miss Wei handle this matter." Mama Qin didn't need to go back to ask Chu Lan to give an affirmative answer.

His Royal Highness the Seventh is so concerned about the reclamation of wasteland in the south of the city, he must be rushing to make meritorious achievements, and now that he has come to this point, how can there be no reason why the wheat seeds are not done?

Hearing Mama Qin's answer, Wei Ruo knew that it was the right choice to find Mama Qin.

Chu Lan's participation still has great benefits, this kind of thing that is not easy for ordinary people to do, can be easily completed by him.

"I first thanked His Royal Highness the Seventh and Mama for the people who opened up the wasteland in the south of the city." Wei Ruo thanked him.

"Miss Wei doesn't have to be polite, the people who open up the wasteland should be grateful to you is the right person." Mama Qin said.
