Chapter 44 Potatoes

After bringing all the wheat back, Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly let Wang Dayi rest. After dinner, he started to thresh the wheat ears.

"We don't have much wheat here, so I plan to keep it for myself and not sell it."

"Cheng, didn't you say you wanted to open a bun shop? I happen to need a lot."

Yang Xu also discussed with Wang Dayi that in the future they would have to have a regular businessman when they went to town, so a breakfast shop would be just right.

The steamed buns in the town really didn't taste good, and there were too few types. Yang Xu thought that by opening a breakfast shop by herself, she and Wang Dayi could make a profit by working hard.

She just likes to tinker with food, and she can't do anything else. Besides, she still gets a share of Yipinxiang. Plus opening a shop, it will definitely be enough.



The two of them ground the wheat into powder while resting, and then passed it through a sieve several times before it turned into slightly yellow flour.

The harvest in this village is pretty good, with less than 500 kilograms of wheat harvested from one acre of land.

Yang Xu didn't want the black flour, so he sifted the flour several times. In the end, two acres of wheat only yielded more than 600 kilograms of flour.

Instead, it was the potato that gave Yang Xu a big surprise.

She only planted a large area of ​​land at that time, less than an acre, and ended up harvesting more than a thousand kilograms!

She had never grown potatoes in modern times, but she had always heard that potato yields were particularly high, but she never expected them to be so high!

Potatoes are not only eaten as vegetables, but can also be eaten boiled or steamed. The effect is similar to that of sweet potatoes. However, the yield is much higher than that of sweet potatoes!

Potatoes can also be made into flour, which means that with flour you can make many staple foods. At least it can provide enough food and clothing.

Yang Xu thought about it for a long time. This was a big deal. If it was just a small matter, he would just keep it for himself and make money. But this involved food, clothing, and food, so this was a big deal.

"Brother Dayi, what do you think we should do? If we just don't say anything, I feel a little guilty. After all, this is also something in the space. I..."

"Then let's give it to the village chief and say that we discovered it by accident. We will try to plant it, and then we will clearly tell the village chief about the yield, and then give him half of it for him to distribute, and as for the rest

Let the village chief decide for himself."

At first, Wang Dayi only heard from Yang Xu that the potato yield was high. He thought that the yield of the things grown in the ground was only a few hundred kilograms per acre, and no matter how high it was, it would not be as high as a thousand kilograms.

After harvesting, I discovered that this acre of land must have a yield of two thousand kilograms!

This is also a good thing to improve everyone's life. Leave it to the village chief and let him decide. Whether to plant it for the villagers and then report it or forget it, it is up to him.

"Okay, let's collect everything first. Forget about other things, we won't report them. Just these potatoes, we will go to the village chief's house in two days and ask about the situation first."

We also harvested a lot of mung beans. Mung beans should have existed in this era, but everyone didn’t know about it.

There are also red beans, and Yang Xu doesn’t grow too many. She mainly grows them to make bean paste. The buns filled with bean paste are very delicious. It just so happens that he is opening a breakfast shop.

Wang Dayi was very happy. He used to like to eat sweetened bean paste stuffing, but after planting all the stuffing, he left some to make stuffing and sell candied haws. Now that he has harvested so much, he can eat enough.

In fact, Yang Xu didn't care much about the high-yielding potatoes. What he cared about most was the rapeseed and soybeans.

She is a little tired of eating meat and oil every day. This rapeseed can be used to make rapeseed oil.

At that time, the fried dough sticks can be fried, as well as sugar cakes and so on, which are the best choices for breakfast!

As for soybeans, she likes them even more.

The first is soybean paste, which can be used as soy sauce for cooking. It can also be made into various sauces. Whether it is put with shrimps, meat sauce, mushroom sauce, or Yang Xu, I especially like it!

There is also tofu and soy milk, if handled properly, it is another profitable business.

Whether it's tofu or dried tofu, soy milk, tofu curd...

Anyway, you can make a lot of delicious things!

The two of them worked for several days before collecting and disposing of all those things.

"Brother Dayi, I would like to invite my uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​to my house for a meal."

Yang Xu had originally agreed to invite Yang Jiadong and Wang Hongxia to the house for a meal. But Yang Ergang also helped, and it would be a bad idea not to invite them.

She simply invited them all over. Although she didn't like Lin Honghua, it was just a meal, so it didn't matter.

"Okay, we are all done and we have time. Should we go to the village chief's house to talk about potatoes first, or should we treat everyone to a meal first?"

"Let's do it together! We will go to the village chief's house tomorrow morning. Half a day will definitely be enough. Then we will go to my aunt's house and cousin's house and treat them to dinner at noon."

"Okay." Wang Dayi nodded.



Early the next morning, Yang Xu and Wang Dayi carried a basket of potatoes and went to the village chief Yang Dajia's house.

Yang Dajia had just had breakfast. The busy farming season was over and he had a few days of rest. It was rare for him to sleep in.

It was already late when I got up in the morning, and I ate breakfast slowly. This year's harvest was very good, and no one was starving to death anymore. Everyone was able to have a good winter this year, and he, the village chief, was also happy!

"Hey, Dayi and Xu Yatou are here."

"Hello, Uncle Yang."

"Come in and sit down. What can you do?"

The two followed Yang Dajia into the house. The village chief's wife poured water for them and brought a plate of peanuts over.

"Auntie, you're welcome." Yang Xu said with a smile.

"It's okay. I grew this on my own land. I harvested a little. It's no longer necessary to buy it. You guys can eat some. I just fried it in the morning."

"Hey! Thank you, aunt."

If someone sincerely gives you something, you can't be too polite. So Yang Xu took one and tasted it.

"Uncle, I came here to show you something, this is it."

Wang Dayi took out his backpack and showed Yang Dajia a potato.

"What is this?"

"I call this potato because it grows in the soil. It is edible. And it can be eaten in many ways. It can be eaten as a vegetable, a staple food, or ground into powder."

"How's the yield? Have you planted it?"

Yang Dajia quickly sat up straight and became much more serious. This was a major matter involving food.

"That's why I came to see the village chief. I found it by chance, and then I cut it into pieces and planted it. I planted less than an acre of land and harvested more than a thousand kilograms."

Wang Dayi also said seriously.

"What! How many pounds?" Yang Dajia couldn't believe it. Did he hear it wrong?

"More than a thousand kilograms, if one acre of land, it can weigh two thousand kilograms." Wang Dayi understood the shock of the village chief, and he was also shocked at the time.
