Chapter 48 The father and son negotiate
After eating, Yang Xu picked up two baskets of potatoes and gave them to Wang Hongxia and Lin Honghua respectively. Anyway, he collected a lot, and Yang Xu still had a lot of them in his space, so he filled the baskets full.
Lin Honghua looked at the two backpacks, pulled them a few times with her hands, and then chose one. Wang Hongxia couldn't see her virtue, so she just glared at her and let it go.
Yang Xu was also quite helpless, Lin Honghua really just loved taking advantage.
Before leaving, Lin Honghua was quite unwilling because the girl didn't take anything with her!
I originally wanted to talk about potatoes, but the basket was full, so how could I find fault?
Then I said in a non-verbal way that I wanted something, such as meat, sugar, rice noodles, etc., but the damn girl didn’t say a word and just refused to give it! Then in front of so many people, I
You can’t even ask for it!
"The rabbits are very fat. Our family has never eaten rabbit meat! How about you bring one back to me, little girl? You have three of them anyway!"
Seeing the rabbit outside the door, Lin Honghua had another thought. This rabbit was a little too small, but it was still meat!
"Auntie, I raised that rabbit. The rabbit is still small! My brother-in-law caught it for me to play with, but he won't eat it."
Tianbao retorted, Auntie wants everything. Now she won’t even let go of the rabbits he raised!
"You are a boy, why are you playing with rabbits?" Lin Honghua pouted.
"Lin Honghua, that's enough! Tianbao doesn't have any playmates in the mountains. What's wrong with raising a few rabbits? You want to make up your mind too!"
Wang Hongxia couldn't stand it anymore and said something to Lin Honghua.
Lin Honghua wanted to say something more, but she saw Yang Ergang staring at her again.
Seeing that there was no advantage left, Lin Honghua muttered a few words and let it go.
Lin Honghua felt unhappy and did not dare to show it, so she had no choice but to go home with her unwillingness.
…
Today is an all-potato feast at the village chief's house. According to Yang Xu's instructions, there are several ways to eat potatoes, shredded potatoes, potato stew, boiled potatoes, and mashed potatoes for the two-year-old grandson.
"Dad, what is this?" Yang Qing asked Yang Dajia.
Why are there things on the table today that I have never seen before? No lunch?
"It's edible. Our family will eat this for lunch today." Yang Dajia had already taken a boiled potato, peeled it, and took a bite.
It’s not bitter, has no strange taste, is edible, and quite delicious! Yang Dajia’s eyes lit up, that’s it!
"Oh, this potato shreds are quite delicious." Yang Dajia's wife took a bite of the potato shreds and said, "It's quite delicious."
"Yeah, it's delicious. The meat is delicious, and the potatoes in it are also delicious."
Yang Qing saw that his parents had eaten it, so he ate this for lunch today. He didn’t dare to say anything, so he tried the potato stew. Hey! It’s delicious!
"Add some sugar water to Brother Liu's mashed potatoes and it will be delicious." Yang Dajia looked at his little grandson with a smile. Hey, this big fat boy, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Hey!" Yang Qing's wife agreed with a smile.
"Dad, where did these potatoes come from? I have never seen them or even heard of them."
"Wang Dayi brought it here this morning with the girl from the Yang family. He said he found it accidentally. He collected it a few days ago and brought it to us to try."
"Oh, is that Wang Dayi who lives in the mountains married Yang Xu?"
Yang Qing knew something about it and had met Wang Dayi a few times. He didn't have the prejudice of those in Murakami. Instead, he felt that he was a real man and a good hunter!
He also knew about Yang Xu. There were many people with the surname Yang in the village, and he had some connection with it. He also knew about the affairs of Yang Xu's family at the beginning. When Yang Xu was recovering from a serious illness, he even asked his wife to give him a gift.
The food is over.
"That's good. It's not easy for both of us. You still remember us! These potatoes are very delicious and filling. Let's grow some next year!"
"Plant! Our family will plant three acres of land next year!" This is delicious and the yield is so high. I must plant it!
"Ahem, dad, we can just plant a little and eat it. Our family only has eight acres of land and we have grown so many potatoes. What will our family eat next year?"
What's going on with his dad! Just plant a little and that's enough! He also wants to use the fields at home. Why can't he just think about it like this!
"Do you know the yield of potatoes?" Yang Dajia glanced at his son lightly. If he hadn't been on the safe side, he would have wanted to grow more potatoes!
"Ah? This yield is high? How high can it be?" It's just a little higher than wheat, but wheat can be stored for a long time! It seems like potatoes can't be stored for too long!
"The yield per mu is two thousand catties!"
"What? Dad, please don't lie to me, the output of this thing is so high!" Oh my god, didn't I hear it wrong?
"Why are you lying? The Dayi family planted less than an acre of land and harvested more than a thousand kilograms!"
"Dad, this is a big deal. These potatoes can be used as a staple food. With such a high output, our village will become prosperous! At least no one will starve to death when the harvest is bad."
Yang Qing put it away nonchalantly and looked at the potatoes on the table, his eyes shining.
"Yes! So, I was thinking about how to deal with this, hold a meeting or something, and talk to everyone about it." Yang Dajia said.
But everyone has not been hungry in the past two years. If you are not hungry, you may not want to change the status quo.
After all, this kind of potato is unheard of to everyone, and no one dares to plant such an uncertain thing on the land at home. After all, everyone has to rely on the few acres of land at home to make a living.
"Dad, there's another thing. If everyone grows this, we won't be able to eat it all in a while, so there's no way we can save it!"
If there is no way to preserve it, it cannot be eaten for a year, and it cannot be multiplied, otherwise it will all go bad.
"You don't have to worry about this. The Yang family girl said that these potatoes are dried and ground into powder. They can be eaten like noodles and can be stored easily. These fresh potatoes should be placed in the cellar. They should not be too hot or too cold.
, and it can be kept for a long time."
"That's it. Then why are we still hesitating? Next year our family will plant a few acres of potatoes! As for everyone, I will hold a meeting and make it clear to everyone. It will be up to them whether they will plant it or not.
Go by yourself."
Yang Qing also knew that everyone was afraid of hunger before and valued the food in the fields more than their lives. This matter involving food is definitely not something that can be made easily.
His father is the village chief, so he must set an example by planting the potatoes first. When the potatoes are harvested, everyone will see them and believe how high the yield is.
To take a step back, his family has eight acres of land! Even if the potatoes are planted in vain, the remaining five acres of land can be used to grow grain for a year.
After the father and son discussed it, Yang Dajia decided to go to Wang Dayi's house in the afternoon.
"Dad, I'll go with you."
