Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 110 110 Do you have extra taro in your family?
Ten acres of land, the oldest piece, at least as big as ten basketball courts, and it is still a large area next to each other. At the moment, it is full of weeds. At a glance, it almost catches up with a small pasture.

The two sent food to the five workers, let them eat by themselves, and then walked to other wastelands.

It is also rare for the cattle to rest, and they are grazing at the moment, which is the young grass that was specially picked out when clearing the wasteland.

Five men worked, four of whom had to mow the grass first, and the other plow the field.

There are many people, and the work is fast. In just one morning, one mu of land has been cleaned up, but after plowing, there are still many grass roots, which will need to be cleaned up again later.

Li Changhui took Lin He for a stroll, and he probably knew that there were all of them. One-third of the places were next to the river.

"Brother Hui, why don't you dig a canal from here, let the water pass through the ground, and then flow back into the river. You see, the water level is a little higher over there, and it will be much more convenient to irrigate the ground then."

The main reason is that the area is too large. Even if it is close to the river, the other end is still far away.

If a canal is dug, the distance to carry water to irrigate the ground can be shortened by more than half.

"Okay, let's ask them for a while, and when the taro and soybeans are planted, we will dig a canal."

Lin He looked back and saw that several workers were sitting on the ridge of the field and eating at the moment. She took a general look at them just now and found that they were all strong men, who seemed to work hard and have strength.

"When they come to work, they probably want to see how taro is grown. Even if they may not be able to find it on the mountain this year, they can grow better by buying some seeds next year."

Li Changhui nodded: "Well, it's okay, maybe there will be people planting soybeans this year."

"Just plant it. The price of soybeans should continue to grow, but the information that soybeans can be squeezed for oil can only be sold once. It may not take long for people to know."

There are many oil mills, and Lin He can pick up cheap ones, but no one has tried to use things other than sesame and cottonseed to extract oil.

And cottonseed oil is still inedible.

Li Changhui frowned: "Soybeans can be sold once, but peanuts can also be sold once?"

"Ah?" Lin He was surprised, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Smart!"

She didn't even think about it!
"Let's go, they are almost finished eating, you go back first, I will stay in the field to help."

The two discussed going back to the working place. They had already had dinner, and one of them was putting the dishes and chopsticks into the basket.

Seeing them coming, he said with a smile: "Changhui's daughter-in-law is really good at this skill, no wonder you always hear your two children showing off outside."

Generally, those who are familiar with Li Changhui or the elders of Li Changhui will be called Xiaohe, and most of them are called Changhui's daughter-in-law, and Lin He has already gotten used to it.

Li Changhui took the pan and handed it to Lin He: "It's very good, both children have gained weight recently."

He also told Lin He: "Slow down when you go back, don't call me at noon, I will go back by myself when the time comes."

Lin He nodded, greeted the workers and went back first.

There was a voice teasing Li Changhui from behind, but she didn't care.

After all, no matter what the situation is between the two, at least in the eyes of others, they are a couple.

Besides, teasing Li Changhui is not teasing her, what a hurry.

When I got home, the egg pancakes for the two children had been eaten, and Li Yu even cooked the pig food.

Just now Li Changhui just chopped it up and poured it into the pot, it hasn't boiled yet.

Lin He talked to the two children and went back to the bedroom.

Their grain is also placed in the bedroom. There are several benches in the corner of the bedroom. On the benches are several large and small sacks, all of which are grain.

This was given to them by their parents-in-law when the family was separated. If they tighten their belts to eat, they can indeed enjoy the autumn harvest.

Of course, if you follow Lin He's recipe, you will be full for every meal, and occasionally you will eat half a bowl of rice if the dishes are delicious, and you will eat them all in six or seven months at most.

In addition to the staple food brown rice, there are also all kinds of beans, such as peas, soybeans, mung beans, and peanuts.

After searching, I found half a bag of soybeans, which only weighed about ten catties.

Seeing peanuts, I went to get a plate and put it on a plate, and then soaked it.

She saw Li Changhui taking out peanuts before, and she presumably planted some, but she hasn't asked the exact number yet.

People who grow crops all year round in the village can roughly know the size of a piece of land at a glance, half an acre?three points?
But she can't, she only knows a field there and a field here.

You can make salt and pepper peanuts at noon, eat and play, or drink at night.

She took out all the soybeans. These soybeans were only roughly screened, and there were still a lot of dregs and pebbles in them.

Whether it is planting or eating, it must be screened again.

I found a big dustpan, put it in the sun, poured all the soybeans into it and spread it out, and then went to get a small dustpan, which was specially used for sifting grain.

Li Hao dragged An'er's little stool over: "Mom, what are you doing with so many beans? You want to make tofu."

You can't use so many soybeans to make bean sprouts, but you need to soak more soybeans to make tofu.

"No, choose one, and wait a few days for the field to be planted. I guess these are not enough, and we need to buy some more."

This was just heard by Aunt Zhang who was next to her: "Xiaohe, what do you grow so many soybeans for? Soybeans are worthless, and making tofu is cheap."

Tofu and bean sprouts are not expensive, and many people can make them by themselves, but few buy them, even in the town.

So the price of soybeans is always very low.

The soybeans grown in the village are planted in the corners, or interplanted in the corn and sorghum fields. When they are collected everywhere, they weigh [-] to [-] catties.

No one has ever grown soybeans alone.

So Mrs. Zhang was also very surprised when she heard Lin He talk about growing soybeans.

"That's right, Brother Hui bought a lot of wasteland yesterday. There are not many taro seeds left. After planting two or three acres, it will be gone. The rest will be planted with soybeans."

Aunt Zhang disapproved: "Just grow soybeans, don't you grow some corn and sorghum?"

"Just plant soybeans," Lin He said with certainty, "If you have free land this year, Madam, you can also plant more soybeans."

She has kindly reminded her that it has nothing to do with her as to whether to plant or not.

Aunt Zhang muttered a few words in a low voice, but Lin He didn't hear clearly, and saw her walking towards their house as soon as she turned around.

Lin He didn't pay attention at first, until Aunt Zhang asked.

"Xiaohe, do you have any extra taro in your family? Can you sell us some, as long as a catty or two catties. Can you just buy it at the price of shopkeeper Liu?"
