There were really too many grasshoppers that Yu caught. If he fried them at home, they would fill a whole plate, no more, no less.
The key point is that it has only been a short period of time and so many have been caught. It seems that the locust plague will come in a month, which is definitely not an exaggeration.
"Sister, let's go back and roast the grasshoppers!"
"Well, Yu, let's go home quickly."
After returning home, Li Mengyue asked Yu to clean the caught grasshoppers and thread them one by one onto thin bamboo branches.
She took her tools and ran to the three acres of dry land at the foot of the mountain.
These are the three acres of dry land obtained through family division, and the crops planted here are unknown to the villagers of Xingying Village.
Old man Li bought the seeds from a foreign businessman in town.
Originally, Old Man Li had no intention of buying. He went to the town to give living expenses to his son. As a result, he heard a foreign businessman shouting on the street that he had imported a batch of precious seeds from overseas.
If his wallet had not been stolen and he had no money to go home, he would not have sold it at all.
At that time, Old Man Li didn't hear anything clearly. He only heard the merchant say that the yellow seeds were very precious.
He immediately had an idea: what if all the land at home was planted with this precious crop?
After the autumn harvest, I will take the crops to the town and sell them for a high price, but I am also worried that my son will not have enough money to go to school.
The businessman also saw that Old Man Li was listening attentively, and he had an idea, so he walked forward and pulled Old Man Li.
It is said that Old Man Li had good vision and saw the value of the seeds. He thought that no one in the town knew their value, but he did not expect to meet him who was so knowledgeable.
Under the merchant's praise, Old Man Li gradually lost himself and lost his ability to make objective judgments. He was deceived into buying thirty kilograms of seeds and spent a full five taels of silver.
You should know that these five taels of silver were the tuition for Li Jian's two months of study, but he ended up using it to buy seeds whose names he didn't know.
When Old Man Li came to his senses, he wanted to find the merchant to return the goods, but the street was crowded with people coming and going, and the vendors selling things were shouting constantly, so there was no merchant anywhere.
Only then did Old Man Li realize that he had been cheated. He threw the seeds he had bought at a high price on the ground and kicked them hard a few times, but he still felt unsatisfied.
He wanted to throw it away directly, but then he remembered that he had spent five taels of silver to buy these seeds, so he was reluctant to throw them away, so he carried them back home.
When he was planting, he was dumbfounded again. He was dizzy with the praise of the businessman and did not think to ask how to plant, which season was suitable for planting, and whether to plant in paddy fields or dry land.
However, this did not cause Old Man Li too much trouble. After all, most of the fields at home were planted with rice. Only the three acres of dry land reclaimed by his uncle Li An at the foot of the mountain had not been planted with anything.
So Li An planted all 30 kilograms of seeds in the dry fields.
Ever since Old Man Li was cheated by the businessman, he has not been to the town or to the dry land to see what has been grown. Naturally, he didn't know that the crops in the dry land were growing well.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy to divide the three acres of dry land to the wife when the family was divided.
At this moment, Li Mengyue arrived at the dry land and was surprised to find that soybeans were planted there.
People living in the post-era know that soybeans are a good thing. They are rich in plant protein and are known as "plant meat". Eating them can supplement nutrition for the human body.
㹏Soybeans can be cooked and eaten, or used to make various kinds of delicious dishes and condiments such as soy sauce.
She discovered that the food culture of that era was still relatively backward, and people did not know how to use various seasonings to cook, so naturally there was no soy sauce to enhance the taste and color of dishes.
When Old Man Li realizes the true value of soybeans, he will probably regret it to death.
Seeing that the three acres of land in front of her were planted with soybeans, Li Mengyue thought of soy milk, tofu, tofu pudding, dried tofu, fermented bean curd, pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, pork ribs soup with soybeans, braised chicken and other delicacies.
[Suku, I also want to eat the delicacies you think of.]
