An Ran changed the subject and said: Old man, there is one more thing. I have an idea. Let me tell you and see if it works.
The captain saw that she stopped talking and knew that he could not persuade her.
I followed her words and asked: What do you think? Tell me.
An Ran said: I see that the yield in our village is not particularly high, so based on what I read in books before, I came up with an idea, which is to make compost and use compost to increase grain production.
In about two months, the weather will gradually become warmer, which is a good time to start making compost. If the compost is successful, you can use it when the land is ready.
The team leader asked: How to make this compost?
What do you need?
Also, can the yield really be higher than in previous years by using this compost?
An Ran replied: To make compost, first I need a big pit, three meters wide and three meters deep.
Secondly, the things we use are simple, such as waiting for the snow to melt and expose the ground, dead leaves on the mountain, and broken corn stalks and leaves on the ground.
Just collect them all and throw them into the big pit, fill the pit up, then make a big wooden lid, cover the pit tightly and let it ferment.
The captain asked: Is this all right?
An Ran nodded. What she didn't say was that there was still a lot of fermentation agents in the space, but this was her secret and she couldn't tell anyone. She could just pour some in secretly when the time came.
The captain frowned and asked: Is this really okay?
Anran thought for a while and said: How about this, old man, I have a vacant lot near the educated youth site, I will make compost there first.
When I make the compost, you can give me a piece of land and I will try it out first. You can see how the seedlings turn out and then you can consider whether to use the compost or not. How about it?
The team leader thought this was a good idea. The piece of land near the educated youth site was empty and would not be used. It would be better to let An Ran do it first. If a small piece of land was allocated to them later, the villagers would not have any objection.
He nodded and said: Okay, you can use the land near the educated youth site to make compost, and we can talk about everything else after the compost is ready.
Then he asked again: Girl, when are you going to start?
An Ran rolled her eyes and said: Why are you in such a hurry? It's still freezing outside and the snow hasn't even started to melt!
The reason I say this now is because I am thinking about the heavy snow. Since I am here, I might as well say it at the same time to avoid forgetting it later.
The captain's mouth twitched and he said: How could you forget such an important thing?
You are also a talent.
An Ran curled her lips and said: I have been so busy today, isn't it normal that I forgot?
The captain tapped her with his pipe and said: You are very busy, always busy thinking about how to deal with people.
An Ran said indifferently: What can we do? It’s their fault that they are so annoying!
He remembered something and asked slyly: Old man, do you still want to have a side job?
The cannery has to stop if there are no wild fruits. If the wild fruits are not stored properly, they will go bad.
The side job I’m going to talk about next can be done all year round. Do you want to try it?
The team leader became excited and asked: What is your side job? Tell me about it.
An Ran took out the potato chips she had made, put them in front of the team leader and his wife and said: Old man, auntie, you guys try it first, how does it taste?
The captain's wife took a piece, put it in her mouth and started eating. The more she ate, the brighter her eyes became. She couldn't help but picked up another piece and asked while eating: Girl, how did you make this?
It's crispy and a little salty, and quite delicious.
Anran replied: This is made of potatoes.
The captain asked in surprise: Is this made of potatoes?
An Ran nodded and said: Yes, this is called potato chips. They can also be made sweet. They are a snack that both adults and children love to eat.
The most important thing is that this is easier to make than canning, and it doesn’t require much investment.
I think the potatoes in our village are a high-yield food. If they are cooked well, we can save some potatoes every year to make snacks like this.
And it can be made all year round. I can guarantee that as long as it is made, it will definitely sell very well in town.
The captain's wife thought it was feasible. She said: I think this is worth a try. It tastes good when eaten this way.
Moreover, every household in our village has a lot of leftover potatoes every year. It would be better to make this and sell it to increase the income of the village. Then every household won’t have to eat potatoes so often.
The team leader also thought it was a good idea. He said: "Old woman, let Dahu call the village chief and the accountant, and we will study it."
The captain's wife went to her son's room and asked Dahu to go find the village chief.
Soon, Tian Dahu called the village chief and the accountant.
After listening to the captain's words, the two tasted the potato chips and their eyes lit up. The accountant asked: Girl, is this thing really made of potatoes?
An Ran rolled her eyes and said: How could I lie to you?
If it’s not made of potatoes, what could it be made of?
The village chief said: Girl, if we make this thing, can we make a big pot of it with just a dozen potatoes?
An Ran replied: Yes, this needs to be sliced thinly, and you can make a lot from just one potato.
However, there is a prerequisite: the preparation of this thing requires a lot of oil and frying, so you have to think carefully about whether you want to make this thing.
