Chapter 422: It doesn’t matter whether the food is good or not, but you have to eat your fill first

"Yes, Shen Qingbai planted it for us. Can't she give it to whoever she wants?"

"It's fine with me. I have food and drink at home, and I earn money. Whatever Shen Qing says is fine."

"Same here. If she asks me to give her half of the yield from one acre, I'll be happy to do it!"

After paying half of it, there are still two thousand kilograms left, which is equivalent to five acres of corn fields!

"See what Shen Qing says?"

......

Mr. Jiang smiled with satisfaction and replied, "Okay, everyone knows our ideas, they are the same. I will find a boy to invite Ling Yi and Shen Qing to come over to discuss it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several familiar figures walking over from the other side of the wooden bridge. It was Shen Qing and Ling Yi and others.

"Oh, it's better to come at the right time than to come early! We are talking about you!" Grandma Qin shouted with a smile.

He recounted what had just happened in detail.

She asked, "That's roughly what we think, but it's useless for us to think about this matter. In the end, only you can make the decision!"

Shen Qing laughed: "I just found some sweet potatoes on the mountain. You guys did all the tilling, planting, weeding and fertilizing... so of course it's up to you to do with them.

But I agree with what my second uncle said! Not only can Fangyang Village and Fugui Village give them some for seed, but we can also send some to Sumu.

I heard from the third and fourth brothers that there is a severe shortage of food in Sumu."

But there is no way to give more. First of all, the total amount is there. If I take care of Blackwater City, I can't take care of Chenzhou too much.

Secondly, although both are related to farming, Blackwater City is more important to them!

Except for Blackwater City, other places can only carry out small-scale planting next year.

"Okay, we will send sesame candy to Chenzhou next month. I will ask Qingshan and the boss to send some to Sumu as well, and teach them how to grow it." Mr. Jiang replied.

He looked at Ling Yi and the others and asked, "While you are in the village, ask more about how to plant and what precautions to take, so that you don't have to worry when you plant next year.

By the way, Ling Yi, you can read, right? You can write it down so you don’t forget it later.”

Something flashed through Jiang Xiangzhong's mind at the back.

He knew the sweet potato yield yesterday. Since they were planning to plant it everywhere, perhaps he could compile the planting methods into a booklet for easy circulation...

Ling Yi didn't expect that what he worried about last night not only didn't happen, but everyone even wanted to send it to other people!

Their broad-mindedness is shameful.

These were simple ideas, just like the farmers in Blackwater City who grew a particularly sweet pumpkin, saved the seeds for seeds, and distributed some to friends and family;

The rice we planted was abundant and full, and we also wanted to save some seeds and exchange some with each other;

All farmers care deeply about their land and their crops. When they have good seeds, their first thought is to share them. For them, the willingness of others to use them is a form of recognition.

He said gratefully: "Thank you, village chief, for troubling you these days;

I am also planning to exchange one pound of beef or mutton for five pounds of sweet potatoes. I wonder if you are willing to exchange them, and how many pounds would you be willing to exchange?"

There were gasps at the scene.

Oh my god, I originally thought that ten kilograms of sweet potatoes could be exchanged for one kilogram, but I didn’t expect Ling Yi to directly exchange five kilograms for one kilogram!

How much beef and mutton will this cost?

Zhao Laoer swallowed his saliva and stammered, "This, this is too much. We can't finish it, right?"

Ling Yi immediately said: "It's okay, I'm talking about the best parts of beef and mutton, or a whole live one, so that it can be transported here and kept alive without having to rush to eat it;

Because the whole head contains bones, internal organs, fur and other worthless things, we can exchange them for more. Do you think it's okay?"

A group of people were stunned when they heard this.

Okay, why not?

This is great!

Ling Yi continued, "If it works, I've brought some writing brushes and ink. Let's write down how much each family wants to exchange, whether it's cattle or sheep, and whether it's a whole head or just the meat."

"Okay, I'll trade the whole thing for a sheep!"

Wool can be sold to brush workshops, sheep oil can be sold to soap workshops, sheepskin can be made into snow hats and boots for coats and cloaks, and mutton and mutton offal are very nutritious in winter. The most important thing is that sheep are small in size, eat less, are easy to raise, and can continue to be raised after giving birth to lambs.

Next year we won’t be able to exchange sweet potatoes for beef and mutton, so to prepare for a rainy day we have to raise some in advance.

"I still have more than 2,000 kilograms of millet, corn, soybeans, broad beans, etc., and 4,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes are enough for me to eat, and I will trade the rest!

Wait, we also need to leave some for Fangyang Village, Fugui Village, and Sumu, so let's leave another 4,000 kilograms."

"Then I'll trade for the cow, so our village can drink milk whenever it wants!"

There was a cattle-herding village that supplied the soap workshop, so he raised cattle for his own use and for the villagers to drink. The number of cattle was small, so it was not tiring to cut grass and milk them.

Moreover, with sweet potatoes, there is no need to worry about the shepherds in the village going hungry. They can drink more of the unsold milk, and after other families have enough to eat, they will also buy some milk to supplement their bodies.

"I'll change the sheep."

......

Jiang Xiangzhong took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he had prepared long ago, spread them out on the large wooden table under the tree, and began to record skillfully.

*

Ling Yi and his companions did not dare to delay. After counting the potatoes, they harnessed the horses to the carts and first pulled a batch of sweet potatoes back to Blackwater City. It would definitely be a large group to transport cattle and sheep from Blackwater City, and they would then transport the remaining sweet potatoes back.

This was a serious and important matter, so Shen Qing and the others did not try to keep them. They helped load the sweet potatoes into the truck and watched them leave.

After harvesting the sweet potatoes in the village, Shen Qing led his men to the capital.

As September approaches and the weather turns cooler, hot pot restaurants will soon be able to open.

When they arrived in Beijing, the city gates were closed and they couldn't go in to check on the progress of the hot pot restaurant's renovation. Fortunately, they had bought a farm last time, and Boss Lei, Liu Cuihua, Jiang Yuhong, Hehua, Feng Xing and others had been living there to take care of affairs for a while, so they could move in directly.

As soon as the door opened and Jiang Yu saw Shen Qing, her eyes lit up like stars in the sky, her face full of surprise: "Sister-in-law! Have you had dinner? I'll make you whatever you want!"

Shen Qing had been on the road for a long time and was already starving. He replied, "Whatever is quick, I'll do it. I didn't eat dinner and I'm starving."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuhong, Hehua and the others quickly turned around and went into the kitchen.

Boss Lei stepped forward and took the reins, shouting, "You guys go to the kitchen and wait for food, I'll feed the animals!"

He doesn't hunt these days, and spends all his time storing fodder and tending to the vegetable garden. Now there is much more fodder and vegetables in the garden!

In the kitchen, Shen Qing sat quietly on the chair brought by Feng Xing, waiting, his eyes following Xiaoyu who was cooking.

The fastest food to eat is of course dough dumplings. No need to knead the dough, roll it out, let it ferment, or prepare the fillings. It is faster than noodles!

Mix the flour into a paste, sauté the ginger and garlic in cold oil in a hot pan in advance, add the chopped bacon and stir-fry until golden brown, add boiling water, and add the dough balls after the water boils.

Finally, sprinkle with chopped garlic sprouts.
