After lunch, Liu Yuhan went into the room, closed the door and entered the space.

It took 3 days outside and 6 days inside, and the temperature in the room was just right, always around 25 degrees. The cabbage grew very well and was green.

Other seedlings are also emerging. I went to see the potatoes I was growing, and they were already sprouting. Potato breeding is simple: wrap the potatoes in paper towels and place them in a large plastic container. Add the malt water (plain water will also work), then turn the container upside down and place it in a cool, well-ventilated place away from strong light.

Remember to check the paper towel every day to see if it is dry. If it is dry, add appropriate amount of water again. After about 7 days, the potatoes will have new sprouts.

When planting, cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces to ensure that each potato has a bud point and the volume of each piece is similar. The soil must be loose and breathable, and can be mainly humus soil. If available, add some small amount of river sand and potassium fertilizer as base fertilizer to supplement nutrients to the soil. You can also use some fermented animal manure instead.

Generally, potato rows can be spaced between 60 and 70 centimeters apart, while plant spacing should be maintained at 20 to 25 centimeters. This region boasts the highest potato yield per mu. In modern times, the highest yield per mu can reach 5,000 kilograms, with an average yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu, similar to that of sweet potatoes.

So this is why Liu Yuhan is so persistent in growing high-yield sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and hybrid rice.

In this ancient time when planting technology was backward and food was scarce, growing more grain meant fewer people would suffer from hunger.

Liu Yuhan set an alarm for an hour and planted the potatoes he had grown on about two mu of land. The remaining two mu was reserved for sweet potatoes. He still had some potatoes and sweet potatoes, so he should be able to plant about an acre of each, and he would continue planting when he had more land.

Just over half an hour had passed since they left the space. Old Lady Jiang took Mrs. Li and the people left behind in the village to go about their work.

Liu Yuhan took Xiaosi Liu Yun, who was guarding her door, to the kitchen and fed them some food as usual. She asked Liu Yun if she felt uncomfortable after taking the medicine. Liu Yun said no. Then she gave her half a ginseng pill.

They were asked to go to the yard, and the two of them were not idle either. They had already learned how to simply organize some medicinal herbs from the adults.

Looking at the two large pig feet on the chopping board, Liu Yuhan closed the kitchen door and sat in front of the stove. He took the two large pig feet to the space and used a sharp bone-chopping knife to chop them. Dongdongdong...

After chopping the pig's feet, I left most of it and put it in the freezer. I prepared some seasonings and started stewing the pig's feet.

After Xiao Yanshi left, Liu Yuhan took some soybeans to soak. The pig's trotters had been cleaned in the space and put into the pot with cold water and blanched with ginger slices.

Clean a pot and heat it. Add vegetable oil and a suitable amount of crushed rock sugar. Simmer over low heat until the sugar melts and darkens. Add the blanched pig's trotters and stir-fry until coated with the sugar. Add appropriate amounts of light and dark soy sauce and stir-fry until the trotters are fully colored. Add an appropriate amount of cooking wine, ginger slices, star anise, and cinnamon, and stir well. Add enough hot water to cover the trotters and bring to a boil. Add the soaked soybeans and bring to a boil.

Cover and simmer on low heat for more than half an hour (adjust the time according to personal preference, some people like it chewy, some people like it soft and glutinous). Taste the taste after opening the lid. If it is too bland, add a little salt and chicken essence, then turn to high heat to thicken the sauce.

After cooking the braised pork trotters and soybeans, Liu Yuhan stir-fried two large bowls of Chinese cabbage. He placed the vegetables in a clay pot, covered it, and began to cook a mixture of brown and white rice.

As the sky darkened, the villagers returned. Because there were fewer people today and the yams nearby had been dug up almost all, there weren't many left.

People from Xiaoshi Village and Dashi Village also joined the ranks of digging yams.

They've been making quite a lot of noise these past few days. They live in villages next to each other, mountains next to mountains. Some girls have married in Dashi and Xiaoshi villages, and some boys have married in Dashi and Xiaoshi villages. Some girls have to take care of their families, so it's possible they've told their families secretly.

Village chief Liu Mang didn't say much when he saw this.

The mountain was not theirs, so they just had to avoid going to the hilltop near their village, and while the village head wasn't bothering him, he even went to the home of Ma Bi, the village head of Dashi Village.

They laughed it off and explained that they discovered the yam by accident and were afraid of misleading everyone by saying that it was inedible, so they didn't tell him in time.

Ma Bi was in charge of three villages: Dashi Village, Xiaoshi Village, and Liujia Village. He was a middle-aged man with a long face. He was angry that Liu Mang had not spoken to him immediately and had treated him coldly.

Liu Mang didn't care. As long as he could save face, it was fine. After saying that, he patted his butt and left.

He is spoiled, this yam was found in his uncle's house.

Today is the first day of looking for medicinal herbs. Apart from Bupleurum chinense which is quite common and wild Astragalus membranaceus, the other herbs are scattered here and there.

Liu Yuhan had already discussed this with his family. The herb drying area in the yard was divided into two parts: one for their family and the other for the village collective.

It's getting late today, so let's go home first. Tomorrow we'll call over the women and elderly people who remain in the village and teach them how to organize the herbs we've gathered.

Seeing that everyone had left, Liu Yuhan took out another pot of warm vegetables and quickly made some egg drop soup.

Today's meal was so filling! Especially the braised pork trotter with soybeans. It was so delicious that it was almost intoxicating. Everyone was munching on the trotters, and for a moment, the only sound was the chewing. After the meal, we had a bowl of soup. It was so satisfying, so satisfying! I wouldn't trade it for anything.

After dinner, Liu Daling, Liu Shinan and their three friends went to see Xu Fugui. Liu Yuhan also noticed Sun Xiaohua, who was wandering around Old Xu's house and ran away when she saw someone coming.

The village chief uncle and his father Liu Xiaoman were also there.

Xu Fugui had already woken up and was leaning on the edge of the bed, whispering something to them.

Seeing them come in, Xu Fugui almost knelt down on the bed in front of them, and Liu Daling Liu Shinan started to clear out the people again.
