112 We are not for the yield
Originally, Lin He was going to slowly sift the soybeans, but with the help of Aunt Zhang, he got them all ready before lunch.
The grains are full, and they are kept for making seeds, and the rest of the deflated ones are packed separately by Lin He and can be used to feed chickens - at present, they can only be fed to pheasants, and the chickens are too small to eat.
Li Changhui went home on time for dinner, and when he got home, he saw his eldest son frowning at him.
"What's wrong?" Li Changhui looked at Li Yu: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”
Li Yu glanced at the kitchen, his mother was serving soup, and then secretly explained to his father.
"Dad, Grandma Zhang came to the house before, and she kept talking to her mother, and she was still smiling at first, but when Grandma Zhang left, her mother kept frowning."
As he spoke, he pointed to the household next to him, indicating who he was talking about Grandma Zhang.
Li Changhui glanced at the other side: "What did she say to your mother?" ”
Li Yu tried to recall: "It seems that what happened to the soybeans, my mother was a little unhappy all of a sudden." ”
Soybean?
Li Changhui nodded to indicate that he understood, and then strode into the kitchen.
It's just that before Li Changhui asked, Lin He looked for him first.
"Brother Hui, Aunt Zhang told me something just now."
The basin was already scooped with water, and Li Changhui asked while washing his hands, "What did she say?" ”
Li Yu, who followed in, hurriedly listened carefully.
Lin He didn't sell it: "I didn't know before, but after listening to what Aunt Zhang just said, I knew that the soybean yield is also extremely low." ”
Soybeans are not very picky about the land, as long as they don't encounter extreme climates, they can basically survive if they can be planted anyway.
But there is one thing that Lin He has never thought about.
If soybeans can be grown on wasteland, why is there so much wasteland in the village, but no one has ever used it to grow soybeans?
Before Aunt Zhang told her, she didn't think about it at all!
The yield of soybeans is very low, and the price is even lower, so low that even if you plant several acres, you can't change the situation at home, because you can't exchange a few dollars, and you may not even be able to sell them at all.
Everyone planted soybeans scattered, not for sale at all, but for keeping them at home to eat.
But whoever grows bean sprouts all year round, makes tofu all year round, and makes it two or three times a month, even if he is very diligent.
"Very low? How low is it? ”
Li Changhui didn't know about it either.
"Aunt Zhang said that one acre of soybeans can harvest about 200 catties of soybeans at most, or even less."
And according to the current price of soybeans, you can buy two catties for one penny, and you can earn dozens of dollars for one acre of land, which does not exclude seeds, manpower, manure, and taxes.
What's more, they are still planting wasteland, which is very barren, and the yield will only be lower, even if Lin He has the ability to cheat, there is no guarantee how much the yield can be increased.
"Two hundred pounds?"
Li Changhui repeated in his mouth, compared it in his heart, and said: "It's about the same as the yield of rice." ”
Lin He was stunned: "The yield of rice is so low? ”
She knew that there was no hybrid rice at this time, and she knew that the rice yield was not high, but she didn't think it would be so low.
Li Changhui nodded: "Yes, it's very low, so polished rice is so expensive, but if soybeans can be sold at such a high price, it's actually not bad." ”
If soybeans can be squeezed for oil, then the price will definitely rise a lot.
"Don't think about that, we won't lose money after all, besides, we don't grow soybeans to fertilize the fields? You said it yourself, what do you want to do now if you want soybeans to make money? ”
Lin He nodded dumbfoundedly: "Yes, soybeans are planted to fertilize the fields." ”
Immediately, he couldn't cry or laugh: "There are too many things in the past few days, I can't turn my brain, and when I heard Aunt Zhang say that the output is very low, I was stunned." ”
Li Changhui took the soup bowl in her hand: "Let's eat, take a good rest after eating, I may still be busy these days." ”
Li Yu has already served the meal and is serving it.
"Then after you go to the field in the afternoon, remember to make it clear to your uncle that the soybean yield is too low, even if you can sell it at the price of polished rice, it will definitely not be as good as planting a season of taro to make money."
"Their family doesn't buy much land, so they can grow all the taro, and as long as the manure keeps up, the yield will not be low."
As for manure, it basically doesn't need to be too much, the uncle has a lot of family, a lot of chickens, a lot of pigs, not to mention cattle.
Pigs and cows are big dung pullers, otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed to pick them before, as long as they are a little even, it is enough to plant taro.
However, the manure pit of their house, which was estimated to have been picked up in the past, is now almost all eaves water flowing in, and there is very little manure.
It mainly depends on Lin He's spiritual power.
Li Changhui said that he knew, and beckoned her to eat first, rest well after eating, and don't think so much.
Yesterday's braised pork hadn't been eaten yet, and it happened that he could eat another meal at noon, so Lin He only burned one soup.
During the meal, Lin He said by the way that he would bring some taro leaves back tomorrow, and Li Changhui said that he would just tell his uncle in the afternoon.
Li Changsheng and Li Changqiang, the brothers, deliberately brought dry food when they went out in the morning.
According to the original plan, it was originally dug during the day and sent to Shopkeeper Liu at night.
This is not an accident later, no one thought that there would be such a big wild boar in such a close place.
So the plan changed a bit, and it became to dig taro during the day and send it to town in the afternoon, and the brothers had to return before dark.
Tell the uncle that when they go back, just let the uncle tell him.
After lunch, Li Changhui only rested for less than two quarters of an hour before going to the field, and also took away two pheasants for the uncle's family - he didn't expect to meet them in the field before, so he didn't bring them.
The rest of the rabbit, Li Changhui also dealt with it, so that Lin He could cook it in the afternoon.
Around Shen Shi, Lin He sent a basket of corn steamed buns to the field, and the golden corn flour was finely ground.
The taste of corn is much better than that of brown rice, and it also has a faint sweetness, and Lin He also deliberately added a few handfuls of refined flour, which became even fluffier after fermentation.
Even Ang Lee ate a small piece.
It was a compliment again, and all those who were brought to the field were eaten up.
Fortunately, she steamed a lot, and there are still some leftovers at home, so she specially saved them for tomorrow morning.
sent food to the field, Lin He went home to stew rabbits, the recent rabbits are very fat, and there are four or five catties of meat after this one is peeled, which can be stewed in a big pot.
The bamboo shoots are soaked at noon, the rabbit meat is fried in chili sauce, and when the soup is stewed, in addition to the spices, a few dried chili peppers are also put in.
In a big pot, there is only a little bit of spiciness, even if it is Li Hao, it is completely acceptable, but it will taste more flavorful and more delicious.
When the rabbit was stewed, it was not yet dark, so Lin He asked Li Yu to go to the field to call him father.
Not long after, Li Changhui led a few people to work, Lin He packed it in advance with a big bowl, the big bowl was not enough, and he also took two small clay pots to put it.
Leaving the family to eat, the rest was divided equally among several people, and even the broth was counted spoonful by spoonful, and several people were the same.
