After the porcelain basin became fine, I was sent to the wild to do infrastructure construction

Chapter 538 Chapter 538, New Crop
"Okay, since Miss Xia has this confidence, let's grow Chinese cabbage, but what kind of fruit are you talking about?"

Village head Li has never doubted Xia Ning's ability, let alone him, I am afraid that there is no one in the village who doubts Xia Ning. On the contrary, everyone has a great sense of trust in Xia Ning and the second master.

What's more, Miss Xia has already thought about the future sales for them, so what else do they have to worry about?

Now it has been confirmed that the main crops planted in March are spring potatoes and peanuts, vegetables include Chinese cabbage, and finally there is a category of fruits left. He has not forgotten what Miss Xia said at the beginning, this time the planting task is food, vegetables and fruits There are.

The first three crops are actually quite real, and he has no objection, but the fruit, to be honest, no one in their village knew about this before, and they usually pick some wild fruits from the mountains to eat.

"March is suitable for planting watermelon and sugarcane." Xia Ning didn't hold back, and directly stated her plan. In fact, when she came to Baiyun Village and checked the soil quality here, the first thing she thought of was watermelon and sugarcane .

She doesn't know the surrounding soil conditions, but Baiyun Village is basically sandy loam, and this kind of soil is most suitable for growing watermelons and sugarcane.

As a high-yield fruit in summer, watermelon is absolutely worth the money. Not only can the whole village eat sweet and juicy fruit, but it can also be sold at a good price.

Fruits were considered a luxury in ancient times, and only the rich could enjoy delicious fruits, and Xia Ning wanted to realize the freedom of fruits in Baiyun Village, so that the whole village could eat fruits.

Secondly, this watermelon is big enough, even if Cangshan County can't sell it, it can be shipped to several surrounding counties and towns for sale. Anyway, rare fruits like watermelon will definitely not worry about selling them.

As for sugarcane, although it can also be eaten as a fruit, its greater value and use is as a kind of sugar, and just in ancient times, sugar was also a rare commodity.

What's more, she knows how to make brown sugar from sugar cane, and brown sugar can be refined into white sugar, rock sugar, and brown sugar.

If their village dedicates a large piece of land to grow sugarcane, then around October, their village will not have to worry about buying sugar. This will not only save the villagers a lot of money for sugar, but also greatly benefit the base An increase in income generation.

It is very cost-effective no matter what.

"I know about sugarcane, but it's just a sweet stick to eat. Wouldn't it be too much trouble?" Village Chief Li frowned slightly, not quite understanding why Miss Xia wanted to grow sugarcane?Apart from sweetening the mouth, that stuff doesn't have much effect, and it doesn't fill you up at all.

Xia Ning looked surprised, "Don't you know that the granulated sugar used in daily life is made from sugar cane?"

"what?!"

Village Chief Li was shocked immediately, and he was so startled that he stood up, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

The sudden movement startled Xia Ning, "Don't get excited, sit down first."

Before deciding which crops to bring out, she had actually asked the female family members of the Song family what crops they had in their native land, so she knew that there were no watermelons in Dongchu, but there were sugar cane.

Dongchu has sugar for sale. Although the sugar that ordinary people buy is yellowish and has some impurities, it is enough to show that this dynasty had a sugar production industry, and sugarcane is a sugar crop. Nothing to be surprised about.

Just looking at Village Chief Li's reaction, it seems that everyone doesn't know that sugar is obtained from the crop of sugar cane?

"Miss Xia, are you kidding me? The brown sugar and granulated sugar we eat on weekdays are all made from sugar cane?" Village Chief Li suppressed his excitement, but his eyes burst into an extremely bright light.

What a long experience!
It never occurred to me that table sugar comes from such a humble crop as sugar cane.

Suddenly he thought of a possibility, and he became extremely excited, "Could it be that you know how to make sugar from sugarcane?"

Thinking of this possibility, Village Chief Li felt his heart beating faster, and he was almost overwhelmed with excitement.

If Miss Xia didn't know how to make sugar, why else would she encourage the villagers to grow sugar cane?
If their village can make their own sugar, that's... God!He couldn't even think about it now.

Xia Ning smiled lightly, "Well, I know how to make it, so I plan to build a food processing factory after the sugarcane matures, so that we can be self-sufficient in the future, and we don't need to go outside to buy sugar at a high price."

"Really? That's really great!" After receiving the positive answer, Village Chief Li was overjoyed for some reason. Thinking about it, he was too narrow-minded. With Miss Xia's ability and strategy, how could she let everyone do useless work?

The crops she wants the villagers to plant must have great value and uses, otherwise, wouldn’t it be better to grow other crops, why bother to grow sugar cane?

Thinking carefully about the crops Miss Xia mentioned, they are all really good things.

"Plant! Plant them all! Our village has grown all these crops! I will make arrangements now and try to start construction in the afternoon."

After figuring out the key points, Village Chief Li immediately made a decision excitedly, and even said on the spot that the planting would start this afternoon, and he really didn't want to wait any longer.

After all, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and it is a good time for spring planting. One more day of delay will affect the growth time of crops.

It is best to bury all kinds of seeds in the ground before the first spring rain in spring, as the old saying goes: Spring rain is as moist as oil, and the branches are full of green.

Xia Ning got up and said, "Okay, the village chief, please tell everyone first, I will go home and sort out the new seeds first, don't worry, I have prepared a lot of these seeds in advance, that is, every household in the village will plant them. Portions are also adequate.”

"Okay, okay! I'm relieved if there are enough seeds." Village head Li was completely relieved now, as if he was ready to do a big job with his hands and feet free.

With such a good opportunity, he will definitely involve the whole village, and must encourage everyone to open up wasteland and farm more. Even if it is hard work, it will only take two or three months at most, but they will be able to reap a good harvest in the second half of the year. return.

It's definitely worth it!

After Xia Ning returned to the Song family compound with ingenuity, she went directly to the storage room and took out the seeds she had bought in advance from the space in the porcelain pot.

"Qiaoxin, come in and help me move these bags to the compound."

"Ah, good."

After serving her master personally for so long, Yang Qiaoxin was naturally keenly aware of the unusualness of the young lady, and she was not frightened by it. After all, it is not something ordinary people can do to conjure things up.

Such an ability can't help but fill people's hearts with a sense of awe.
