Chapter 1197 My cousin~
"I know." Zhu Da responded and waved the hoe more carefully.
This sweet potato can be eaten regardless of whether it is injured or not, but the injured sweet potato should not be put away.
They still have a lot of them in their cellar. Apart from tasting the fresh ones, most of them have to be taken in and eaten slowly.
I don't know if it was because of his hand shaking or something else, but Zhu Da's hoe tilted slightly.
"bump--"
Zhu Si then shouted: "Ouch, brother, you dug the wrong way..."
Zhu Da was a little annoyed: "If you have the ability, you will dig it?"
Zhu Si touched his nose and said quickly: "Come here, come here..."
When the others saw it, they all showed kind smiles.
Isn’t that right? Who likes others to point at them when they are working?
What's more, Zhu Da didn't do it on purpose. He didn't look at him and was a little annoyed. But you still said it next to him. It's strange that he wasn't annoyed.
From now on, it will be much smoother.
Soon, a bunch of sweet potatoes appeared.
The red leather things were attached to the vines, and except for one which was half dug out, the others were intact.
Zhu Da laid out several of them and compared them with his fists: "Mom, the biggest one is only half the size of my fist, and the small one is half the size. It looks like it's a little worse than the previous one."
Uncle Zhu Jia also picked it up and looked at it, and said: "It's a little bit worse, but it's already very good. Didn't your mother say at that time that sweet potatoes in early winter don't grow as well as those in spring and summer? They like warmer weather.
The warmer the weather, the faster it grows, and the colder it grows, the slower it grows..."
While he was talking, he mentally evaluated the Zhu family's land and roughly knew how much the Zhu family could collect.
From this point of view, the number is still very amazing.
As soon as the Zhu family took action, the people in Zhujia Village heard the news and rushed over one after another.
"Aunt Zhu, are these sweet potatoes ready to be harvested?!"
"Oh, this head is not small. I thought it would be much smaller."
"It's already a little smaller, but it's bigger than a grain of rice, hahahaha..."
…
Everyone gathered around the Zhu family's land and saw the trees that Zhu Da dug out, with smiles on their faces.
Isn't it right? The Zhu family can receive such a big body. No matter how bad they are, they are at least half as big as someone else, right?
In this season, it would be good to have a small harvest. The sweet potatoes are still so big. If they are harvested in one piece, there will be one or two loads, right?
These two loads can save lives in winter.
Although there is a little less now, that is because I have no experience, and I planted early winter sweet potatoes, so the growth time is shorter, and the weather is not as warm as spring and summer, so the harvest is naturally less.
If it were spring and summer...
Just think about it, how could they not be excited?
Ye Yuran looked at the sky and said: "Don't worry, everyone. Let's ask Li Zheng and the clan leader first to see how the weather will be in the next few days. If the weather is good, it can last a few more days. If the weather is going to change,
, it’s not too late for us to collect it.”
Everyone was quite convinced by her words, so they gathered around her and headed towards the inner circle, to the patriarch's house.
Without thinking, I took a step forward and saw Li Zheng and the clan leader walking towards this side, each carrying his own son.
"Hahahaha... Aunt Zhu, you don't need to make such a trip, we also want to join in the fun." As he spoke, Li Zheng caught a glimpse of the sweet potatoes on the ground, and his face was filled with joy.
He walked over quickly, looked at the sweet potatoes on the vines, and picked up a medium-sized one.
"Not bad, better than expected."
"Ms. Zhu, you are really good at growing sweet potatoes. Can you harvest several tons from this land?"
Compared with other families in the village, the Zhu family has one more acre of land for planting seedlings, so naturally it has more land than other families in the village.
But even so, the people in the village don't think there is any problem - what problem can there be? They have planted it with you and distributed the sweet potato seedlings to you. What else do you want?
As long as you have some sense, you won't get pink eye because of this matter.
Ye Yuran smiled and said: "I don't know, but with such a small harvest, I'm afraid it won't be enough. I'll have to trouble Li Zheng when the time comes. The clan leader can help me collect some in the village."
"Do you want to collect some more?" Li Zheng, the clan leader was naturally greeted in advance, but he still pretended not to know. Li Zheng asked in surprise, "You have so many sweet potatoes at home, but they are not enough to eat?"
"Aunt Zhu, don't be joking. If you don't have enough food for the village, then there won't be enough food for other people in the village." The clan leader also agreed beside him.
"Hehehe..." Ye Yuran laughed, "It's enough to eat, but it's the New Year that's coming, so I want to bring everyone with me to earn some money to buy new year's goods."
As she spoke, she looked at the people surrounding her.
She asked loudly: "Everyone knows that our family sells food, right?"
"Yeah, we get it."
"What's wrong, Aunt Zhu, what does this have to do with our sweet potatoes?"
…
The people around him also showed doubtful expressions.
Of course they are happy to help them make money, but...
Can Mrs. Zhu’s food stall eat so many sweet potatoes in the village?
"It's like this. Our family has found a way to cut sweet potatoes into slices, dry them in the sun, grind them into powder, and make them into food." Ye Yuran is not afraid that this method will be copied by others, and he is generous.
Fang Di said, "When the time comes, the food will be sent to the town and sold in restaurants. Do you think the quantity will be large?"
A group of people were excited: "What?! Take it to a restaurant and sell it?!"
"Oh my God, Aunt Zhu, you are so awesome!"
"Really, Aunt Zhu, do you mean that you take our sweet potatoes and sell them there too?"
"Then how much can we charge?"
…
Ye Yuran waited until they were all excited, then said slowly: "Don't be impatient, just listen to me."
"This business is a long-term business and cannot be completed at once. Although every household in our village has planted sweet potatoes, it is impossible to sell them all at once. Otherwise, we will suffer from the northwest wind in the future?"
"So, I would like to discuss this with you. After everyone harvests sweet potatoes, if any family has more, they should go to the clan leader and register them."
"At that time, Chief Left and Chief Right will take my daughter-in-law and teach you how to slice, dry and store these sweet potatoes."
"Whatever amount I need here, Li Zheng, the clan leader will go from house to house and line up to draw, ensuring that every family gets a turn and makes money."
…
For the people of Zhujiacun, Ye Yuran's words were simply an unexpected surprise.
You know, before they only thought that these sweet potatoes could fill their stomachs and prevent people at home from starving to death.
Unexpectedly, before this was harvested, Aunt Zhu threw out another bait-this sweet potato can not only fill the stomach, but also make money?!
Naturally, rice grains are reluctant to be sold. Food to fill the stomach must not be sold unless it is absolutely necessary.
But sweet potatoes are different. This was originally an "accidental profit". Now there is another "accident". How can we not be surprised?
