Xu Lai first made Wanzi run two laps in the open space, and the round Wanzi got so hot that it stuck out its tongue.
Xu Lai quickly took it to a shady spot, took a bottle of water and a bowl for the dumpling to drink from her space, and poured the water into the bowl for the dumpling to drink.
After resting for about ten minutes, Xu Lai took Wanzi to the open space and made her run two laps.
After repeating this process until the blinding sun rose into the sky, Xu Lai put the meatballs into her spatial storage and then took the electric tricycle out of it.
Then, he put two baskets of potatoes and sweet potatoes from his spatial storage into the tricycle's cargo compartment, and took two old cotton coats from his spatial storage to cover them.
Today she's going to the Qin family's trading market to sell some of the potatoes and sweet potatoes in her spatial storage.
Since the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the space yielded a bumper harvest, the pasture on those two acres has also matured.
They are still busy harvesting the last of the hay in the space.
"Once the pasture grass on these two acres is harvested, we'll use the two acres over there that were previously planted with potatoes to grow more pasture grass!"
Xu Jiangming, wearing a straw hat, holding a sickle in one hand and supporting his waist with the other, offered his suggestion.
In rural areas, crop rotation is emphasized in farming.
This is also an effective agricultural management measure aimed at improving the soil environment, increasing crop yields, and reducing pests and diseases.
Crop rotation combines land use and soil conservation by planting different crops in different seasons or years, which helps to solve problems such as uneven soil nutrient distribution and increased pests and diseases that may result from continuous planting of the same crop.
Fortunately, the space is used to raise poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese. Usually, once the crops have grown a bit, the poultry are released in to eat insects.
So ever since they started farming in this space, the crops have never been sprayed with pesticides.
Xu Haiguo, who was cutting hay behind Xu Jiangming, nodded in agreement after hearing his second uncle's words.
When it comes to farming, none of the five members of their family can compare to their second uncle.
Looking at the large amount of unharvested hay in front of him, Xu Haiguo lamented in his heart, wondering why his daughter hadn't stocked up on a hay harvester when she was hoarding supplies before the natural disaster.
Relying solely on manual harvesting would cause him considerable back pain.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Lai was halfway there in his tricycle, he encountered a young man selling food on the roadside in a truck.
Xu Lai stopped his tricycle and walked closer to the truck bed. He saw some people going to and from get off work looking at the contents of the bags in the truck bed.
These bags contain various ingredients: some rice, some flour, and others cornmeal, soybeans, and other whole grains.
In Xu Lai's opinion, the young man was selling quite a few kinds of grains, but the quality wasn't very good.
Just like that rice, it looks slightly yellow, and it's obviously old rice.
The rice in the other large sack looked quite nice, but the grains were all broken.
"Boss, how much is your rice?"
Out of curiosity, Xu Lai asked.
"This rice costs four work points per jin, two jin cost seven work points. How many jin do you want? If you want more, I can give you a discount!"
No wonder so many people are gathered around this truck; the grain prices here are much cheaper than those in the government's supermarket.
Although the quality of this grain is not as good as that of the government's general supermarket, what more could we ask for in this time of extreme food shortage?
As long as it doesn't affect eating, of course you should buy the cheaper one.
Xu Lai watched as the young man busily sorted, weighed, and distributed grain to the people who gathered around to buy it.
The movement was executed in one smooth motion, indicating that this person had done this kind of thing quite often.
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw that he had finally finished his work.
Xu Lai then leaned closer and whispered, "Sir, I have some good quality potatoes and sweet potatoes here. Would you like to buy them?"
"Potatoes and sweet potatoes? Do you have any? I want to take a look!"
The young man glanced at Xu Lai and said.
This young man sells and buys grain; he seems to be a middleman dealing in grain.
“Okay, I happen to have a basket of potatoes and sweet potatoes on my electric tricycle.”
After saying that, Xu Lai walked to her electric tricycle first, and then lifted the old cotton-padded coat covering the two baskets on the tricycle's cargo box, revealing the potatoes and sweet potatoes inside.
When Chen Cheng saw the two baskets of potatoes and sweet potatoes, his small eyes instantly lit up.
"These potatoes and sweet potatoes are so fresh!"
Chen Cheng immediately reached into the potato and sweet potato baskets and picked up a potato and a sweet potato, each bigger than his palm, and examined them carefully.
These potatoes and sweet potatoes look like they were just dug up recently, and there isn't a single wormhole on them.
It looks like it's in excellent condition.
Chen Cheng took several potatoes and sweet potatoes from the basket, examined them, and then turned his gaze to Xu Lai.
This continuous heavy rain and flood disaster lasted for a full year and two months. After the rainstorm and flood disaster ended, high temperatures returned.
He was very curious about where these potatoes and sweet potatoes came from.
However, as someone in his line of work, he also knew that "curiosity killed the cat," so he swallowed back the words of doubt that were on the tip of his tongue.
"So, are you satisfied?"
Xu Lai looked at the young man's surprised expression and asked him with some amusement.
"They're really good. Are you selling both of these baskets?"
Chen Cheng quickly asked.
"How's the price? If it's good, I still have some grain I want to sell!"
"Really? The quality can't be worse than these, right?"
Chen Cheng became even more interested upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, the quality is guaranteed to be no worse than these!"
Xu Lai thought of the more than 20,000 kilograms of potatoes and more than 10,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes that she had stored in the sand in her space, as well as the vacuum-packed rice and flour that she had stockpiled before the torrential rain and flood disaster.
