"Okay, since Miss Xia has this confidence, then let's plant Chinese cabbage, but what is the fruit you are talking about?"

Village Chief Li never doubted Xia Ning's ability, let alone him, I'm afraid there are no people in the village who question Xia Ning, on the contrary, everyone has a great sense of trust in Xia Ning and the second master.

What's more, Miss Xia has already thought of the future sales channels for them, so what else do they have to worry about?

Now it has been determined that the main crops planted in March are spring potatoes and peanuts, vegetables are Chinese cabbage, and finally there is a class of fruits left.

The first three crops are actually quite real, he has no opinion, but this fruit, to be honest, no one in their village knew this before, usually picking some wild fruits in the mountains to eat.

"March is a good time to grow watermelons and sugarcane." Xia Ning didn't sell it, and directly said her plan, in fact, after she came to Baiyun Village and checked the soil here, the first thing she thought of in her heart was watermelon and sugarcane.

She didn't know what the surrounding soil was like, but Baiyun Village was basically sandy loam, and such soil was the most suitable for growing watermelons and sugarcane.

As a high-yield fruit in summer, watermelon is definitely worth the price, not only allowing the whole village to eat sweet and juicy fruits, but also selling them at a good price.

Fruit was considered a luxury in ancient times, and only the rich could enjoy delicious fruits, and Xia Ning wanted Baiyun Village to realize fruit freedom, so that the whole village could eat fruits.

Secondly, this watermelon is large and sufficient, even if Cangshan County can't sell it, it can also be transported to several surrounding counties and towns for sale, anyway, a rare fruit like watermelon is definitely not sold.

As for sugarcane, although it can also be eaten as a fruit, its greater value and use is to eat it as a sugar, and it happens that in ancient times, sugar was also a rare product.

What's more, she knows how to make brown sugar from sugar cane, which in turn can be refined into white sugar, rock sugar, and brown sugar.

If their village dedicates a large piece of land to grow sugarcane, then around October, their village will not have to worry about not being able to afford sugar, which can not only save the villagers a sum of money to buy sugar, but also greatly increase the income of the base.

It's a great deal no matter how it works.

"I know sugarcane, but isn't that a bit too much trouble to eat as a sweet stick?" Village Chief Li frowned slightly, not quite understanding why Miss Xia wanted to grow sugarcane? That thing doesn't have much effect except for sweetening the mouth, and it's not full at all.

Xia Ning looked surprised, "Don't you know that the sugar used on weekdays is made from sugarcane?" ”

"What?!"

Village Chief Li was suddenly excited, and the whole person stood up in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.

The sudden movement startled Xia Ning, "Don't get excited, sit down first." ”

Before deciding which crops to take out, she actually asked the Song family's daughters what crops were there, so she knew that there were no watermelons in Dongchu, but there were sugarcane.

There is sugar for sale in Dongchu, although the sugar bought by ordinary people is yellowish and has some impurities, but it is enough to show that this dynasty has a sugar production industry, and sugarcane as a sugar crop, its existence is not surprising.

Just looking at Village Chief Li's reaction, it seems that everyone doesn't know that sugar is taken from the sugarcane crop?

"Miss Xia, you're not joking, are you? The brown sugar and granulated sugar we eat on weekdays are made from sugar cane? Village Chief Li suppressed his excitement, but an incomparably bright light burst out in his eyes.

What a long insight!

I never thought that edible sugar would come from such an inconspicuous crop as sugar cane.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and instantly became extremely excited, "Could it be that you know how to make sugar from sugar cane?" ”

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Village Chief Li felt his heart beat faster, and he was about to pout with excitement.

If it weren't for Miss Xia's knowledge of how to make sugar, why would she encourage the villagers to grow sugarcane?

If their village can make their own sugar, then they have to. Oh my God! He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Xia Ning smiled indifferently, "Well, I know how to make it, so I plan to build a food processing factory when the sugarcane is ripe, so that we can be self-sufficient in the future, and we don't have to go outside to buy sugar at a high price." ”

"Really? That's great! After getting a positive answer, Village Chief Li was happy and didn't know why, thinking about it or he was too narrow-minded, with Miss Xia's ability and strategy, how could she let everyone do useless work?

The crops she wants the villagers to plant must have great value and use, otherwise wouldn't it be better to plant other crops, so why bother planting sugarcane?

If you think about it carefully, these crops that Miss Xia said are really really good things.

"Species! All kinds! These crops have been planted in our village! I'll arrange it now, and I'll try to start construction in the afternoon. ”

After figuring out the trick, Village Chief Li immediately made a decision excitedly, and even said on the spot that the seeds would be planted this afternoon, and he really didn't want to wait any longer.

After all, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and it is a good time for spring planting.

It is best to bury all kinds of seeds in the ground before the first spring rains, as the old saying goes: spring rains are as moist as oil, and the branches are full of green.

Xia Ning got up and said, "Okay, then the village chief, you tell everyone first, I'll go home first and sort out the new seeds, don't worry, I have prepared a lot of these seeds in advance, that is, every household in the village has planted them, and the amount is enough." ”

"Good, good! I'm relieved that there are enough seeds. Village Chief Li was completely relieved at this time, and he was ready to do a big job.

With such a good opportunity, he is bound to involve the whole village, and he must encourage everyone to open up more wasteland and farm, even if it is very hard, but at most it will be hard for two or three months, but in the second half of the year, they will be able to reap rich rewards.

It's definitely worth it!

After Xia Ning returned to the Song family's compound with ingenuity, she went directly to the storage room and took out the seeds she had bought in advance from the porcelain pot space.

"Qiaoxin, come in and help me move these bags to the compound."

"Oh, okay."

After waiting for her master for so long, Yang Qiaoxin was naturally keenly aware of the unusualness of the young lady, and she was not frightened by this, after all, it is not something that ordinary people can do to conjure things casually.

Such an ability can't help but fill people's hearts with a sense of awe.
