Chapter 25 Harvest Season
The next day, Liu Chong drove the Wrangler who Cai Hongming bought for his wife to Gulang early in the morning.: 3w.
The newly bought car needs to run away and let the parts in each part be fitted together to enhance the service life of the car. Cai Hongming asked him to go to the Tuoba Niu when he went to the county to change the glass. Sometimes the wind and sand are very strong in the desert, and the rolled stones can sometimes smash the glass windows. Just in case, it is better to replace them with bulletproof glass.
Today I want to harvest sweet potatoes, and I use a sweet potato harvester to collect sweet potatoes.
It is still very troublesome to harvest sweet potatoes. It is not like harvesting corn. It uses machinery to harvest sweet potato vines. When harvesting sweet potatoes, you must first cut off the sweet potato vines on it. This requires manpower. Cai Hongming followed the work for the whole morning and was so tired that his back was sore. Although martial arts practitioners are in good health, they can't stand the trouble of bending over the morning to cut sweet potato vines. So he was so tired that he didn't want to move in the afternoon and sat aside to rest. However, the sweet potato vines had been cut, so there was nothing to do. He just needed to harvest them with a sweet potato harvester and put them in a truck to transport them to the warehouse.
Because it is a raw place, the sweet potatoes collected this year are not very large, at least not as big as the sweet potatoes that were recorded in the Guinness record, and are all about five or six kilograms.
Liu Chong left, Pan Haimin took his stick and drove the sweet potato harvester, and Chen Dashan was driving the truck. The remaining few people had nothing to do, and suddenly had a whim and wanted to build a tumbler to pay the sweet potato.
So, they built a soil nest on the ground where the sweet potatoes had already been harvested, and finally built a soil nest of more than one person. Cai Hongming didn't know what to say. How many sweet potatoes should be roasted with such a high soil nest? These guys are doing it all. You must know that the sweet potatoes dug out of the soil have a lot of moisture and are not very sweet. They have to be left for a while to let the moisture in it disappear, which is delicious.
But obviously, they don't mind eating sweet potatoes.
Seeing that they did this, Cai Hongming was thinking about it, so he went to the rice fields to catch a few fat crucian carp. After slapping it, he didn't remove the scales and scatter the internal organs. He marinated it with ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. After marinating it, he cut a piece of palm leaves and wrapped it. Wrap it with a layer of mud on the outside and put it in the soil nest. This was not enough. After it was done, he ran to grab two fat hens raised by Uncle Fu. After killing it, he stuffed various medicinal materials into his stomach, and then sewed the butt with a needle. Wrap it with palm leaves and bake it with soil.
Uncle Fu was excited when he watched from the side. He went to the ostrich to pick up an ostrich egg and asked him to help bake it.
The taste of ostrich eggs with natural ingredients and water-diped Yuchan liquid is different from that of eggs and duck eggs. They have a different grass fragrance. Sha Afu will never forget it after eating them once. If Cai Hongming had not agreed, he would probably want to eat ostrich eggs every day. Seeing him holding the ostrich eggs and looking at his earnest gaze, Cai Hongming had nothing to say and had to help bake them.
It’s a little troublesome to roast eggs, so you can’t just put them in.
If this is the case, the eggs will explode when they are cooked and the things inside will spew out. You must first wrap a layer of hard clay outside, and then wrap it with a layer of paste soil.
Cai Hongming had too many things to roast. Li Chun and others made a dirt nest of more than one person tall and burned firewood, so he couldn't stand it. He made one by himself and cooked it next to it. The dirt nest he made was different from them. They were all made of large pieces of soil, and they were flat on top. A large pot was placed on top. In the pot, mushrooms, golden needle flowers, bacon, dried fish, mustard greens and other mixed things were put into a mixed brocade stew. When the things below were baked, the stewed in the pot would be better.
The stewed vegetables are fragrant, the roasted fat hens and fat crucian carp and the ostrich eggs are also extremely delicious. They only eat them at noon, and the group has a big appetite and a fat stomach.
However, the sweet potatoes roasted by Li Chun and others made by one person were no longer eaten by anyone.
The main reason is that the newly unearthed sweet potato is rich in moisture and is not sweet at all. Besides, there are little hens, crucian carp, ostrich eggs, stewed vegetables and other pearls and jades roasted by Cai Hongming. Eating them makes people feel scented.
More than 200 acres of sweet potatoes took three days to harvest.
Finally, Cai Hongming looked at the warehouse of sweet potatoes and realized that he was not good at all. He originally thought that a mu of sweet potatoes would only cost about one or two thousand kilograms at most, but he did not expect that after applying fertilizer and watering the Yuchan liquid to the per mu, the yield per mu was about five thousand kilograms.
What is this concept?
If one acre of five thousand kilograms is counted as one acre of five thousand kilograms, then two hundred and fifty acres would be one. In the past, he thought that except for some of the sweet potatoes sold at the barbecue stall, the rest were kept as livestock feed. Now he found that it is impossible. With so many sweet potatoes, the ostrich and yaks at home could not finish eating them day and night, and not to mention that these livestock could not eat them all.
Cai Hongming scratched his head, and it seemed that he had to find another way.
In fact, I already have a mature method in my hometown. That is, to make the excess sweet potatoes into sweet potato flour, and then process the sweet potato flour into vermicelli, vermicelli, and powder slices. The dried watery sweet potatoes can also be processed into dried sweet potatoes, which tastes good. This requires buying a batch of machinery. This is not planned, but he can only do this when he sees the sweet potatoes full of the warehouse.
When buying sweet potato machines, it is not about buying as long as you want. It also depends on the quality and compares the stores.
It’s okay for my wife to be at home, so Cai Hongming handed over this great task to her. He just needs to wait for her to contact the manufacturer and go over and take a look in person.
After the sweet potatoes are harvested, the rice is harvested. The rice fields are full of water. Before harvesting, the water must be dried and the fish and loaches raised in the fields must be harvested.
It was getting colder and crucian carp and loaches raised in rice days were all at the bottom of the mud, which was difficult to catch. But Cai Hongming had a solution, so he cooked some sweet potatoes and kneaded them, stirred them into a paste with Yuchan liquid, and poured them into a rice field where they were cut out.
The crucian carp and loaches in the field suddenly rushed over frantically. Pan Haimin and the others were amazed at the sight, but their hands were not vague. They quickly picked up the net and caught it.
Those fish do not like to eat sweet potatoes, but like to stir the sweet potatoes. The Yutang Liquid is transformed by the jade cauldron absorbing the essence of the bright moon, and the spiritual energy is accumulated. It would be strange if those fish don’t like it, so when they smell that smell, they immediately rushed over.
After a while, a bunch of crucian carp was caught.
On the ground next to it, Cai Hongming had someone lay two large pools with canvas. One net of loaches and crucian carp were picked up from the rice fields and put them down. After a while, the pool was filled with it, and fish could be seen swimming everywhere.
Cai Hongming had already contacted the fish collector and came to collect the fish in the afternoon.
Fortunately, the fishmonger in Gulang. The county fishmonger knew that he was the one who asked him to come to the desert to collect fish, and they would treat him as a lunatic.
In the afternoon, the fishmonger who collected the fish drove over. When he saw Cai Hongming putting canvas on the temporary fish pond next to him, he realized that he had brought too few cars. He quickly called someone to come from the county and kept struggling until midnight before he transported all the fish away.
Nowadays, the price of local wild loaches on the market is around 28 yuan per catty, and non-wild ones range from ten to twenty yuan.
The batch of loaches raised by Cai Hongming in the rice fields are good. They look similar to local loaches, and the taste is the same. However, the fishmonger still paid a few dollars and calculated twenty-four yuan for him. Because they were mixed with crucian carp, they only collected more than 80 kilograms per acre of loaches, which was less than 800,000 yuan. However, the crucian carp family is not wild or not. Anyway, as long as they live, they are all counted as five yuan per catty. The money for crucian carp is a little more, a total of more than 1.7 million yuan, and the two combined are more than 2.5 million yuan. This year, it has not been in vain.
However, Cai Hongming felt that he was still at a disadvantage because crucian carp was too cheap. It seemed that he would have to change something to raise next year.
After catching the fish in the rice fields, after putting the water, we start harvesting the rice.
Harvesting rice is the most convenient and does not require manpower at all. It is enough to use machinery. But even so, Cai Hongming and others were busy for nearly a week before they dried all the harvested rice into warehouses. Then they waited for free to grind the dried rice into rice and packed it, and then found a place to sell it.
Because rice is a new variety, the yield is very high, with a total of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, and a total of about 500,000 kilograms were harvested.
If there are so many, if there is no accident, Cai Hongming will probably not be able to finish eating in his whole life. But he did not think about just staying to eat by himself, and he planned to sell it. He had already made a plan in his mind. After the new store in the county was built, he would sell sweet potato porridge, rice and pasta during the day, and barbecue at night. Next to the store, a specialty store of products in Xidu Shengjing will be opened, which will form a one-stop production and sales station, and will produce and sell it by itself. If the taste is good, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell the things here in the future. Instead, you have to worry about not having anything to sell.
ps: There is a chapter above that Cai Tianshou should be Cai Tianfu, right? It was written incorrectly. Cai Tianshou is his second uncle.
The end of the year has come, and I found that I did nothing this year. All the planned things were ruined, so I had to rescue them temporarily. So I was very busy and tired, but I would also give some time to write. Thank you for your support. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
