Chapter 162 Potato High Yield
Village Chief Li's hands were shaking with excitement. He calmed down for a while before asking Li Wanyue, "Girl Yue, where did you buy these seeds? The yield is so high. If everyone grows them, we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm planting this for the owner of Baiweilou. I plan to discuss with him and ask him to give me some seeds. You can also ask everyone if anyone wants to plant any. You can count the number and then I'll see how much they can give us."
"Oh, thank you so much, I'll go ask right away." The village chief was about to leave, but turned around and slapped himself on the forehead.
At this moment most people are either in the fields or helping with the work, so it would be better to wait until dinner time in the evening before notifying everyone.

With a lot of people helping out, we harvested about 10,000 kilograms of potatoes in two days.
The exterior walls and interior of the new house have been built, and all that remains is to install the doors and windows and do interior decoration.
A cellar was built in the warehouse and all the potatoes were transported to the new house.
The Li family gave some potatoes to each family that helped, so that they could have a taste.
Li Wanyue carried a basket of potatoes to Li Shuangshuang's home.
I just happened to hear Li Shuangshuang's sister-in-law speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"You can't even finish your own work, yet you still go to help others. Do they care about feeding your three mouths?"
Li Shuangshuang also knew that the mother and daughter had been at home for half a month, and her sister-in-law was upset, so after her injury healed a little, she immediately helped with the housework.
That is, I helped Yueyue's family harvest potatoes these two days, but when she came back in the afternoon, she also helped with cooking and collecting grass for pigs.
She retorted: "Sister-in-law, our family has always been close to Uncle Dashan's family. Yueyue has helped me a lot. It's okay for me to do some housework for them. Our family has earned a lot of money from them during this period. Why can't I help a little?"
"If we don't help them, how can they give us money? To put it bluntly, it's all earned through hard work. Don't make it sound like we're taking advantage of them."
"How dare you say this in front of my parents and my eldest brother? There are so many people in the village, why don't they ask someone else? They just want to help us."
"I'm too lazy to waste my breath talking to you. Hurry up and wash the clothes and cook." The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family turned and left.
Li Wanyue walked in only after hearing that there was no movement in the yard.
Li Shuangshuang put on a smiling face: "Yueyue is here, come and sit down."
She moved the stool forward.
"Well, get you some potatoes."
Li Shuangshuang took it awkwardly: "This is too much. We didn't help much, so why should we give such a good thing?"
"Every family that helped has given some, you can try some too."
"good."
Li Wanyue asked: "Shuangshuang, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"
Li Shuangshuang shook her head: "I don't know anything except farming."
Li Wanyue said, "It's hot now. If you want, you can go to town to sell cold noodles. I'll provide you with cold noodles and you can sell them in town. Just add some vegetables and sauce to mix them together. Zuixianju is the only restaurant selling them in town right now."
Li Shuangshuang frowned: "But I have never set up a stall before, I am afraid I can't do it well."
"Haven't you sold eggs at the market? Setting up a stall is similar to selling eggs. You can prepare a small amount and try setting up a stall. If you encounter any problems, you can go to find Shopkeeper Wu of Zuixianju."
Li Shuangshuang thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to try."
It was not easy for her parents to raise her, and now they have to support a family of three. She can't just stay at home and eat and live for free all the time.
She also wants to be self-reliant like Yueyue.
Li Wanyue asked her to go to her home after dinner, and Wang Guixiang taught her how to make cold noodles.
Two days later, Wang Guixiang set up her stall in the town.
Only thirty-six servings were prepared on the first day. She followed Li Wanyue's instructions and made one serving for people to taste.
Most people paid for one portion after trying it. After all, the weather was too hot, and this cold noodle dish was much cooler than hot noodle soup.
Some people have eaten at Zuixianju. Although the food here is not as delicious as that at Zuixianju, it is much cheaper.
About thirty copies were sold out in less than half an hour.
I sold them for eight cents each, and made a total of two hundred and eighty cents. The cost of flour and water was about one hundred and twenty cents, and the cucumbers were grown by myself, so I made one hundred and sixty cents in one day.
Li Shuangshuang was completely stunned. She actually earned so much in just one day.
Like a dream.
After Li Shuangshuang returned, she excitedly told Li Wanyue the good news.
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "Liangpi is suitable for summer. You can only sell it in these two months. There will be no business when the weather is cold. But you should do business first, and then do other things when the weather is cold."
"That's enough. If I can earn this much every day, two months will be enough for me to save some money. At least I can feel more at ease living in my mother's house."
"yes."
The two chatted for a while and then Li Shuangshuang went back.
…
On this day, Shen Yu and Xie Yan came to the Li family, and the Li family members called out "Master Xie" in a somewhat reserved manner.
Xie Yan said: "Uncle and aunt, don't be so reserved. Miss Li and I are friends. I am your junior, so we should just get along as we did before."
The Li family looked at each other, then politely invited the two to sit under the tree to enjoy the cool air.
Knowing that they came to discuss something with Li Wanyue, they went about their own business.
Shen Yu waved his hand fan to fan himself because it was too hot.
Xie Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. Li Wanyue saw that it was the bamboo-patterned handkerchief she had given him, then she looked away and went to the kitchen.
Shen Yu asked quietly, "Did you offend Miss Wanyue? Why is her attitude towards you different?"
Xie Yan didn't say anything, put away the handkerchief, and looked at Li Wanyue through the kitchen window.
After a while, Li Wanyue brought out two cups of sour plum soup.
Shen Yu took it and took a sip. The cool, sour and sweet taste instantly cooled him down.
He looked at the cup in shock, only to find that there were ice cubes in it.
You know, only rich families would store ice in winter and use it in summer.
How can an average family stock up on ice?
He asked in surprise: "Wanyue, do you still have ice at home?"
"yes."
Shen Yu thought that every time he came, he would come across new things, so he might as well go there every day, maybe he could see more new things.
He immediately asked, "How do you store ice? Do you have an ice kiln?"
"No, I made it myself."
Shen Yu’s eyes were as big as copper bells. Can ice be made by oneself?
