There is a good husband in the crossing house

Chapter 035 Don't Waste It

Vermicelli, starch, sweet potato balls, roasted sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato date cake, shredded sweet potatoes...

A variety of ways to eat sweet potatoes floated through Qi Lan's mind.

But now, the village chief actually told him that sweet potatoes can only be fed to pigs?

Damn, how many delicacies have been missed!

Qi Lan's twitching expression frightened the village chief, who thought something happened to Qi Lan, so scared that he almost slapped him on the back of the head, wanting to slap that [dirty thing] away, but luckily Qi Lan Lan reacted quickly, and came back to his senses with a wipe of his face.

Looking at the two acres of sandy land in front of him, Qi Lan didn't say a word, but squatted down and took out two sweet potatoes with his hands. It's not time to dig the sweet potatoes yet.

So the sweet potato is small, only about the size of a fist, so Qi Lan gnawed the outer skin with his teeth and spat it out, then took a bite.

Suddenly, a sweet taste filled the mouth.

This is a sweet potato with red skin and yellow flesh. This kind of sweet potato has a lot of water and sugar, so it is not easy to store. However, it is a very good choice if it is used to make roasted sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes.

"Grandfather of the village chief, do you know who still has sweet potatoes with red skin and white flesh?"

This kind of red-skinned and white-fleshed one has heavy starch and is easy to preserve. It is most suitable for making sweet potato starch. This sweet potato starch can be used to make many things, and the most famous one is sweet potato flour. Yo, just thinking about it makes me hungry.

"Here, isn't this one? You see, these are two kinds of leaves, one with white flesh and one with yellow flesh."

The village head directly pointed him to two kinds of sweet potato vines in the field. It turns out that the leaves of the two kinds of sweet potatoes grow differently.

Qi Lan roughly took a look. The two acres of sweet potato fields, white and yellow, were exactly half and half.

It's a pity that the sweet potatoes are not mature yet, so it's a waste to dig them up now.If you keep it for another month or so, the size of this sweet potato can be doubled again.

So Qi Lan had no choice but to let go of those thoughts for the time being. In the end, the village chief took him to see another two acres of waterlogged fields. At this moment, there was nothing in the waterlogged fields except for a few handfuls of cabbage seedlings and some newly sprouted radish seedlings. up.

"This flooded field is almost soaked in water every summer. The water just receded a while ago, and it will be completely full of water until around April and May next year, but it would be a pity to ignore it at all.

Therefore, almost all those who have flooded fields at home take advantage of these few months to plant some Chinese cabbage and radishes, and sell them in winter, at least for a few dollars. "

Qi Lan took a closer look, and it was indeed as the village chief said, even though the two mu of waterlogged fields had receded for a while, the land was still soaked, and the ground was almost full of silt. Those radish and cabbage It grows in the mud.

Qi Lan looked at the surrounding terrain again. This flooded field is close to the river, no wonder it is flooded by someone every year, but Qi Lan is very satisfied looking at these.

"Grandpa, the village chief, when my house is finished, I want to ask someone to dig this flooded field deeper."

The more Qi Lan looked at it, the more satisfied he became. If the house was not more important, he really wanted to move everyone here immediately.

On the contrary, the village chief looked at him like a fool: "Dig deep? Others are eager to fill it up, and you still want to dig deep?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, I know in my heart that I won't mess around. Don't you feel relieved when I do things? You will know when the time comes." Qi Lan mischievously bought a pass, he already has this matter Thinking about the restaurant in the town, Qi Lan didn't expect that he would have to ask for help so soon.

However, this is a win-win thing, why not?

Now that Qi Lan has talked about this, the village chief can't say anything more.

After all, he is just an outsider after all, and it's one thing for Kid Qi to respect him, but he can't rely on the old man to influence his decision.

Besides, the village chief also knew that Kid Qi was definitely not the kind of person who likes to mess around, and he probably made such a decision because he really had some ideas.

After all, he grew up in the county town, unlike those mud-legged people who have been trapped in the mountains all their lives, they must know more.

Taking a look around at her own field, Qi Lan probably knew in her heart that rapeseed is growing in the paddy field, so don't worry about it, and wait for the rapeseed to be harvested next year to press the oil for consumption.But it's not good to leave the fields that have just harvested corn empty.After thinking about it, the corn is harvested, and it's almost time to plant wheat. Why don't we wait a few days to go to the town to buy some wheat seeds and come back, and then plant all the wheat.

Thinking that next year she will be able to eat white flour from her own home, Qi Lan is immediately motivated. For the sake of white flour, she rolls up her sleeves and works hard!

The sweet potatoes in the Shatian are raised first. After the house is built and the waterlogged fields are dug deep, the sweet potatoes can be dug. Thinking of roasted sweet potatoes, shredded sweet potatoes, and dried sweet potatoes, Qi Lan feels that his mouth is watering.

"Xiao Fang, quickly take a small hoe, let's dig sweet potatoes together."

Thinking about the two acres of sandy fields, and wondering how many sweet potatoes could be harvested, Qi Lan felt that he could actually dig some and come back to eat.

Anyway, they have a small family, so they can't eat much, can they?

"Digging sweet potatoes? Our family doesn't feed pigs. What does your husband want to dig sweet potatoes for? Feed chickens?" When Qi Lan and the village head went to see the land, Su Fang was finishing the last quilt at home. After putting away all the needles and threads, he was at a loss when he heard Qi Lan asking him to dig sweet potatoes.

"What kind of chicken are you feeding? Let's eat by ourselves." Qi Lan didn't have time to explain, she carried a small back basket by herself, put the small hoe in it, and pulled Su Fang to the sand.

Su Fang still didn't know how to eat sweet potatoes, but seeing her husband's confidence, she thought of the delicious fish and candied dates that her husband had cooked before, so she stopped asking.Anyway, just listen to my husband, my husband will definitely not lie to me!

The two quickly dug up half of the basket of sweet potatoes, and Qi Lan even put some of the sweet potato vines in the space.Anyway, the climate in the space has never changed, so he plans to enter the space with Xiao Fang later to plant some sweet potatoes.

On the road, someone saw the two carrying ungrown sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines on their backs. Qi Lan said that they were feeding the chickens. They still have so many pheasants in their house, so they also want to eat, don't they?

"Husband, you still said you didn't feed the chickens." Su Fang muttered, obviously what the husband himself told others was also feeding the chickens, okay?

"Isn't that what you said in front of others? If you say we eat, you have to explain how to eat, what a waste of time."

Qi Lan asked Su Fang to pinch out the tender sweet potatoes and fry them at night, while she fetched water to wash the sweet potatoes.

Forget about starch, such a little sweet potato can't make much starch.

So tonight, Qi Lan is only going to eat roasted sweet potatoes and cook a pot of porridge.

Well, by the way, there is also shredded sweet potato. As for the sweet potato, what are you doing with it? I bake it tonight and you can eat it tomorrow!
