Chapter 80 Brown Sugar



At this time, Li Waishan was scratching his head while holding a bowl at home. The advanced model of their brigade was taken away by the Changqi production team next door. At that time, he went to the county town for a meeting with great pride, and thought that they would definitely be punished.

After all, their brigade was the first to hand in grain today, and the output was high. Unfortunately, the Changqi production team next door not only handed in a lot of pork today, but also had several fish ponds, which largely solved the problem of meat for the people in the county, at least the supply was provided.

In the end, they received some verbal praise from Shanghe Village.

How could Li Waishan be willing to accept this? There was nothing he could do. All the villagers only cared about the farmers. They kept their heads down every day and even during the winter they would take a look at how the wheat in the fields was growing.

It's not like he hadn't thought about learning from other teams and encouraging villagers to raise pigs, but whenever he mentioned raising pigs, it was like asking for their lives. People couldn't even have enough to eat, so how could they raise pigs? Therefore, the task of raising pigs for each hair was just a few that the team could barely raise.

The brigade does have a lake, but we don't dare to raise fish. If we really want meat, we will catch two to satisfy our craving. No one in the country likes to eat this stuff, as it is fishy and earthy, but people in the city like it.

Fish will not die in droves if you don't take good care of them. The fish raised by the Changqi Farm Team had died in large numbers several times before. But the entire farm team worked together and made a lot of money after raising fish. Every household in the team could live a good life.

Their production team was very united, but they were all focused on growing crops. Anyone who dared to lag behind in farming would be criticized to death by the team. Others really didn't dare to try, so their team became poorer and poorer, and the poorer they became, the less they dared to try. The team's account books were full of rumors, and some accounts had been overdue for several days. He always sat in a corner during every meeting, for fear that others would ask him to pay back the money or exchange for food.

After taking a sip of water, he put the bowl heavily on the table, which scared Mrs. Li. "What are you doing? There are only a few old bowls left at home. Don't break them."

"Stop talking, I'm really annoyed."

Mrs. Li glared and was about to explode when she heard a knock on the door.

"Is this the village chief? Is anyone home?"

"Where is my soul? Knock knock knock, who is it?" Mrs. Li didn't take her anger out on her husband, so she could only transfer it out.

Su Li frowned when she heard what Mrs. Li said.

When Mrs. Li opened the door and saw that it was the third daughter-in-law of the Xie family, she was immediately furious. It was all Su Li's fault. If it weren't for her, her Cuilan would have married Xie Zhengchuan, and she would have received some of his allowance, and both her family and her parents' family would have been better off. Cuilan would not have been so desperate as to find an educated youth and now she was a widow with a big belly.

"What are you doing in our house? You are not welcome in our house. Come as far away as you can. You are really asking for trouble."

"I came to discuss something with the village chief."

"You, what's your problem? Don't try to fool me. If you want to say it, just get out of here."

Su Li frowned as she looked at the mean woman who was pinching her waist in front of her, "You ask the village chief to come out. You can only talk to the village chief about this!"

"Bah! You little bitch, you come to me to show off your lust, you shameless vixen, don't you see who I am, I..."

"What are you doing, old woman? Who are you quarrelling with?"

Li Waishan was sighing in his room when he heard the noise outside. He got up and went out to take a look. His wife looked ferocious and like a fighting cock.

When he came out, he saw that it was Su Li. He now had a very good impression of Su Li. Although this girl was lazy, she was kind-hearted. She came to him because something had happened. He knew exactly why his wife scolded her. It was all because of that useless thing. Humph!

Li Waishan pulled Li Pozi and glared at her. Li Pozi shrank her neck in fear. She was still very afraid of Li Waishan. This man cared a lot about the affairs of the village. If this vixen was really delayed by her, she might get a beating. She glanced at Su Li, snorted, and walked into the house with her fat buttocks twisted.

If Su Li came to see him before, he might not have paid any attention to him, but now he is strange after all.

"Zhengchuan's wife, what do you want from me?"

Su Li gritted her teeth and tried to keep calm for a while, but if she took a step back, she would suffer from breast enlargement!

Su Li said, "Uncle Waishan, I have something to ask you. I heard that other production teams have set up factories and fish ponds, and they are all thriving. Why doesn't our production team have any?"

When Li Waishan heard what Su Li said, he jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Zhengchuan's wife, you...what do you mean by this?"

Su Li said, "I don't mean anything else. I just heard about it and wanted to ask. Uncle Waishan, you know I write books. There was a reader who liked my books very much. He said he was 100 years old and would not live long. He had a secret recipe passed down from his ancestors and wanted to pass it on to me. I hope it can help more people."

"What...what secret recipe?" Li Waishan tried hard to calm himself and make his facial expression appear calm, but the slightly twitching muscles under his eyes still betrayed his inner anticipation and nervousness.

"It's a secret recipe for making sugar. As you know, some aristocratic families have more or less ancestral things in their hands, but because of the general environment, they can't take it out, and they dare not take it out. Besides, the old man may have passed away. I also want to fulfill his last wish."

Su Li spoke sadly, but Li Waishan was so frightened that his voice was trembling.

"What...what kind of candy, water candy, milk candy in broad daylight? It takes a lot of sugar to make this thing. Our production team doesn't have money or candy coupons."

The candied figurines in the county town are very popular. Generally, only those who are rich and have tickets in the city can buy them. People in the countryside generally cannot afford them.

"It's brown sugar. Look, I made it myself. And here's the recipe. Take a look."

Su Li left a bundle of sugarcane at home last night while Xie Zhengchuan was not back. The kids at home have all tasted it. She has many videos of her hands-on experience on her phone, and the traditional recipe for making sugar is indeed very suitable for the people of Shanghe Village.

She has tried to make a small jar in her own space.

Li Waishan took the pottery jar and recipe handed over by Su Li, and took a look at the recipe first. There were a lot of words written on it. He could understand the words, but he didn't know how many grams it said.

He opened the small pottery jar in his hand and looked at the red sugar inside. His hands were shaking with excitement. "You, you, you are not talking nonsense. Did you really do this?"

Although he didn't ask this, he was looking at the small jar of brown sugar in his hand. The color and purity of this brown sugar were better than those sold in the county. At this moment, he was sure in his heart that no matter how brave Su Li was, she would not dare to lie to him about such a thing.

Su Li looked at Li Waishan and said calmly, "Yes, I did it. I also asked someone to get me a batch of sugarcane seedlings. They can be planted in all seasons. This season is just right for planting."

“Is it…appropriate?”

It’s suitable, why not?

Even if it is not suitable, it has to be suitable.

We have the powerful app Pinxixi, and the seedlings on it are all high-quality seedlings, which are cultivated after many experiments.

Moreover, the soil in your own space can be directly used as fertilizer. With the addition of spiritual spring water, the soil quality of this era can be directly transformed.
