Chapter 109 109 Soybeans
Li Yu and Li Hao really stayed at home obediently. Even though Li Yu said that he could fully hug his younger brother, Lin He still refuted him and asked him to stay at home temporarily.

The two went out and walked into the village. When there was no one around, Lin He said, "Brother Hui, let's plant soybeans. After all the taros are planted, the rest of the land will be planted with soybeans."

This is a decision after Lin He's careful consideration.

"You mean oil extraction?"

We just talked about soybean oil extraction yesterday, and they made an appointment to visit the county in a few days. Why are soybeans planted today?

Lin He nodded, then shook his head again.

"More than that, the wasteland we bought is very barren. Soybeans can be used to fertilize the fields. And just right, if the method of extracting oil from soybeans is successful, the price of soybeans will not be low."

But now the price of soybeans is extremely low, cheaper than coarse grain brown rice.

However, soybeans can be used to make tofu, soy milk, tofu brain, and soybean sprouts. The tender soybeans can also be boiled with salt, and the taste is also very good.

Even the dry and hard soybeans are very fragrant if they are fried directly and eaten after they are cooked. However, if you eat too much fried soybeans, you will fart.

Li Changhui, who was walking in front, stopped abruptly: "You said that planting soybeans can enrich the fields?"

She was quite shocked, a rare expression on Li Changhui's face.

Lin He blinked, and nodded in a daze: "Yes, soybeans and peas can be used to fertilize the field, but these are usually interplanted with other lands, and have never been planted alone."

Peas are not even considered as interplanting. Just digging a hole on the edge of other crops and planting two seeds is considered planting.

In this way, not only can you eat pea tips and soybeans, but it will not take up much land.

In fact, not only soybeans and peas, but also rapeseed, but she didn't find rapeseed seeds, so she didn't dare to ask rashly.

In addition, there is a weed called milk vetch, which seems to be able to fertilize the field.

But it's a pity that she doesn't quite remember what zi vetch looks like. She only knows that it is a kind of weed with a lot of water and is very tender, and it can also be fed to pigs and cows.

Li Changhui's surprise was short-lived, and he quickly realized that he nodded to show that he understood.

"Okay, the rest of the land, plant half an acre of peas, and the rest of the land to plant soybeans."

It is a little late to plant peas, so I only plant half an acre; soybeans are just right, and it is the season for planting soybeans recently.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the way, the two briefly discussed about going to the county. They only mentioned it at the dinner table before, because there were two children, and neither of them elaborated.

After that, I was busy all the time, so I didn't have time. It happened that only the two of them were on the road at this moment.

The seedlings will be planted in early May, and the seedlings in their family are growing very well, not inferior to other people's fertile fields.

People who have seen their seedlings say that Li Changhui is as capable as before, and the seedlings in Susukida can grow so well. If it is replaced by good fields, their family may have the best harvest this year.

For these compliments, Li Changhui accepted them calmly, as before, showing no joy at all.

Lin He smiled happily. Others only knew that she was happy that the crops were growing well this year, but they didn't know what she was secretly happy about.

"Changhui Xiaohe, you are here, and I am going to find you."

Li Yongkang happened to be in their field and was talking to a man when he saw two people coming.

Lin He smiled and asked, "Uncle, you also bought here, how much land did you buy?"

Just a little nearby, the eldest aunt and the others are also busy in the field.

They have many families and cattle, so they don't need to find people to work.

"We didn't buy much, we just bought two acres and gave away two acres. That's all, your aunt also said that we bought too much."

Lin He: "Are you going to plant all those acres of land, uncle?"

It's only four acres of land, so it shouldn't be a lot.

However, Li Yongkang shook his head: "No, two acres is enough to plant. I just wanted to ask you what you plan to plant in the remaining open space."

Speaking of it, Li Yongkang was a little embarrassed.

Only two acres were planted, which was decided after discussion by several members of the family. In fact, it is not impossible to plant all taro. After all, Changsheng lived on the mountain and found a lot of taro.

Even Li Yongkang felt that he could plant them all.

But Chang Sheng's words dispelled his idea.

Li Changsheng said: "Father, why don't you ask brother Changhui and sister-in-law first to see what they plant. Brother Changhui bought so much wasteland, surely he wouldn't buy it and leave it empty?"

"Brother Changhui and sister-in-law are both very thoughtful and capable people. Even if it is a wasteland, I think Brother Changhui may have a way. He must have learned a lot of skills that we don't know about after being outside for so many years."

Li Changsheng's words successfully persuaded everyone in the family who wanted to plant all four acres of wasteland with taro.

No, I didn't meet Li Changhui in the morning. Li Yongkang estimated the time when they should deliver the food, so he came here specially.

Fortunately, he only asked now, but Li Changhui couldn't give him an answer if he asked this morning or yesterday.

Lin He said bluntly: "Uncle, we are going to plant half an acre of peas, and the rest will be planted with soybeans."

Li Yongkang was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confirmation, "Peas? Soybeans?"

Misheard?
Then Lin He nodded seriously when he saw it: "Yes, soybeans and peas are more fertile. Of course, if there is sandy land, it is also possible to plant some sweet potatoes, and the yield is large."

Li Yongkang looked at Li Changhui again.

Although he knew that Li Changhui listened to Lin He, he couldn't help but want to hear the exact answer from Li Changhui.

However, Li Changhui nodded affirmatively: "If uncle likes it, it's okay to plant all the taro, and you can also order a variety of soybeans, and maybe you can earn some more."

Soybeans are worthless, if someone else said this, Li Yongkang would never believe it.

But it was Li Changhui who said these words, so he hesitated a little.

Fortunately, he didn't know that it was Lin He's decision to plant soybeans, otherwise he might have taught him a few words, but Li Changhui's words were still a little different.

Just like what Li Changsheng said, Li Changhui has been outside for ten years. He used to know nothing but hard work, but now he knows how to hunt and read. He must have learned a lot when he joined the army.

Soybeans can't make money, maybe it's just for them. Maybe Li Changhui has other ways to sell soybeans at a high price?

Thinking about it this way, Li Yongkang no longer struggled: "Okay, then we will all grow soybeans."

Forget about peas, I have grown something to eat in the vegetable garden, that's enough.

Lin He saw his uncle's doubts, hesitation, thinking, and making a decision all the way, and couldn't help but pouted in his heart.

Really, she didn't believe what she said, but Li Changhui believed what she said, obviously Li Changhui also knew it from her.

The top of the head was pressed.

"Let's go, don't you want to see what places are there?"
