Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Huo Yunchao gave up and pointed in the direction: "Dad Xu, I found a suitable place for vigil. Here, it is in a cave halfway up the mountain. The entrance of the cave is very wide, which can block the wind without blocking the view. Father Xu, I don’t know if there are poisonous insects or poisonous gas in the cave. You tell Brother Rong and the others not to go into the cave, and just light a fire at the entrance of the cave."

The main reason why he asked Huo Yunrong and others to guard him was that he frequently appeared in the limelight and was too eye-catching, which easily attracted others to imitate and destroy him. What should I do if someone has pink eye and deliberately destroys the sweet potato field?

The wild sweet potatoes in this wasteland need to be improved in terms of variety, size and taste. The yield is far less than the 2000 kilograms per mu of sweet potato cultivation that Huo Yunchao participated in.

You must know that the rice yield of two shi per mu in the Dasheng Dynasty was approximately 240 kilograms in later generations.

The sweet potato yield in this wasteland can be about 400-600 kilograms per acre. Such a high yield can be achieved by relying on natural cultivation. If farmers take good care of it, water, fertilizer and other things can completely double the yield per acre!

According to the memory of the original person, the Dasheng Dynasty will still be a good year with good weather and good weather in the next year, which is very suitable for encouraging people to open up wasteland and plant sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes can be stored for 30-50 days. They can be made into dried sweet potatoes, ground into powder, or made into sweet potato powder, which can be stored for a longer period of time. In times of famine, more people at the bottom can survive.

Therefore, the emergence of sweet potatoes and the expansion of planting area are of extraordinary significance to Huo Yunchao personally and to Dasheng Dynasty.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Huo Yunchao did not dare to take risks and specially invited Huo Yunrong and others to come forward.

He came to watch the night because he was afraid that the jealousy would come and cause trouble for him.

It is essential to be on guard against others, and Huo Yunchao is not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice.

Huo Yunchao didn't want to bet but couldn't afford it. He was not sure if there were other places in Dashengchao where so many sweet potatoes grew naturally and he couldn't find living samples to prove his concept.

seeing is believing.

Huo Yunchao planned to rely on this naturally grown sweet potato field to convince Magistrate Chen of how high the yield of sweet potatoes was.

Sweet potatoes are more widely planted than rice and wheat and can grow in thin fields and wasteland.

Sweet potatoes can not only satisfy the hunger but can also be used to raise poultry and livestock. The extra sweet potato production every year can feed no one knows how many people. County Magistrate Chen can only calculate this account more clearly and accurately than him.

Huo Yunchao wanted to prove to County Magistrate Chen that he meant every word he said and that he was absolutely not lying!

After bidding farewell to Butcher Xu and the other four, Huo Yunchao told Huo Tianxiang his plan on the way home: "Dad, please send some sweet potatoes to the old clan leader and ask him to suppress the clan members and arrange for manpower to dig the sweet potatoes."

Huo Tianxiang agreed: "Old patriarch and clan members, I will take care of it. Chao'er, are you going to find Master Zheng to draw pictures?"

"Yes. I'm afraid my brother-in-law will have to work all night tonight and won't be able to rest."

Huo Yunchao had this intention. He turned to Xu Ning and said: "Madam, I need the help of you, Sister Xiaocao and the stepmother. We have to make sweet potatoes into edible dishes and show them to the county magistrate. More importantly, you three You still have to master the method. Tomorrow the county magistrate will send people to learn how to do it, and you have to teach them how to do it. We can't just rely on words to win people's trust. The more prepared we are, the better we can save a lot of trouble later."

"Okay." Xu Ningde

Knowing that he could help share the burden, he looked excited and said: "Mr., you ask us to do it."

The night watch job was not for a weakling like her. Her father was the first to disagree, and Huo Yunchao was even more disapproving. There were so many sons of the Huo family, so it was easy and convenient to just find a few trustworthy people.

Huo Yunchao gave Xu Ning reassurance: "It's actually not difficult. Sweet potato porridge, sweet potato rice, roasted sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes, and dried sweet potatoes can all be done in less than two hours. Sweet potato flour takes the most time, and we'll do it later. Find time to do it.”

Huo Yunhai didn't understand and asked: "Brother, why do you want Brother Rong and the others to guard you? Didn't we tell the sweet potatoes?"

Huo Yunchao glanced at Liu Laizi and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. The yield of sweet potatoes per mu in that wasteland is about four stones. If my sister-in-law and I manage the planting carefully, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu will not be ten stones." question!"

Liu Lezi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Huo Yunchao, his breathing became much heavier: "Chao'er, are you telling the truth?"

"Uncle Liu, didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Huo Yunchao asked with a smile.

Liu Lezi pinched the tiger's mouth hard, and the pain made him burst into tears: "Chao'er, I, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Bam—"

Huo Tianxiang suddenly hit Liu Laizi so hard that he lost his mind, and said angrily: "Are you awake? Do you want me to give you a few more blows?"

"Huo San!" Liu Laizi covered his painful forehead and jumped in anger: "You can obviously speak well, why do you need to touch me?"

Huo Tianxiang grinned and said, "I'm happy, I'm happy, what can you do to me?"

"you!"

Liu Lezi was so angry that he almost bit his tongue. He walked ahead angrily and his anger subsided.

Half of the time, he turned back and came to Huo Yunchao's side: "Chao'er, Uncle Liu wants to ask you, how do you make that sweet potato flour? Is it the same as making rice noodles?"

Huo Yunchao realized that he had a lack of memory and scratched his head: "Well, I can't remember how to make sweet potato noodles, but in my impression, it can't be exactly the same as how to make rice noodles. The process is probably similar."

Living in the 21st century with developed industry, Huo Yunchao was accustomed to all kinds of industrial products. Suddenly he was reminded of the method of making handmade sweet potato flour. He really couldn't remember it for a while.

It was rare for Xu Ning to see such an unconfident reaction from her husband-in-law, so she smiled and complemented him: "Uncle Liu, it doesn't matter if the husband doesn't remember clearly. We just need to know the general method and try it a few times before we can make it. "

Liu Lezi hesitated and said: "Then, can my wife do something about it then? Chao'er, I don't have any evil intentions. I, I just want, want... I want my wife to do something for herself. Something to be proud of.”

Huo Tianxiang no longer made fun of Liu Lezi, but listened silently as Liu Lezi tried his best to get his wife the qualification to learn how to make sweet potato noodles.

He and Liu Lezi had not dealt with each other for so many years, watching with cold eyes how Liu Lezi was a soft-boiled man who nibbled on his wife's children. When he suddenly heard Liu Lezi say such words, it felt as absurd as pie in the sky.

Huo Yunchao sighed softly and said: "Uncle Liu, when the day comes for making sweet potato noodles, I will tell the villagers that the method of making sweet potato noodles will not be hidden."

"Really? That's great! Chao'er, thank you!"

Liu Lezi rubbed his palms nervously and asked, "Hey, Chao'er, you said I'd go to Li Zheng to report

Is it appropriate to open 20 acres of wasteland to grow sweet potatoes? "

Huo Tianxiang scolded angrily: "Liu Lezi, you are such a beautiful person! You have been married for so long. Apart from being busy in farming, when will you have a full day of work? You want to open up twenty acres of land, what do you expect? Who will do all that work? Your wife? Or your children and grandchildren? Huh? I think you have big eyes and a small belly, but your house is not messy enough? At most ten acres!"

Liu Lezi retorted unconvinced: "Huo San, have you opened your eyes? How do you know that I don't want to do it? A prodigal son can't return his fortune in exchange for gold. Let's wait and see!"
