A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 94 [094] Sesame leaves
She doesn't know if anyone accepts this kind of thing in this era. Later generations seem to cost 800 yuan a catty. It is the kind of dried leech that is particularly clean. If it is of poor quality or color, it will sell for more than 400 yuan. The money is a catty, so she doesn't care if it's useful or not, anyway, it's just a daze if it's left here, so it's better to do something meaningful.

Therefore, when the sister-in-law came up from the pond, she would cleanly use her homemade chopsticks to collect all these leeches, and the accumulation would make a lot of money. What if it could be sold for money someday?It's not in vain for her to sacrifice so much to catch leeches here.

Mother disagreed with her approach, for fear that it would be contaminated on her body, Zhuo Lin would pat her chest to assure her at this time.

"I'll be careful!"

Her range of activities is very small, and she doesn't care about other people's ponds. She will only grope around her own four acres of land when the sister-in-law and her husband are in the rice fields.

After getting it home, wash it with clean water, put it on a clean bamboo sieve, and then dry it and let it dry naturally. In August in the Gregorian calendar, it dries quickly.

She found dried leeches and packed them in an earthen jar, put them in a dry place, and slowly accumulated them, just like she picked up cicada shells when she had nothing to do. No one wants it, but she will pick it up whenever she encounters it, but this thing is very light, and it may take her ten or eight days of hard work to pick it up for a catty.

Of course, she is not the only one who picks it up alone. My brothers heard that this thing can be sold for money. They will carry a pocket with them when they go out, and they will pick it up when they see it. It was also at this time that it began to emerge.

And she also discovered that the Zhuo family is good at listening to other people's suggestions, especially after they judge, they will agree and follow if they think it is right.

Don't look at Zhuo Lin's young age, but after more than half a year of putting on airs, everyone in the family agrees with what she did and said, and they all praised her for her good memory, and she can always remember what others accidentally confide. It’s because I have a good memory, but it’s just some experience. Anyone who has received higher education and has been beaten by society knows a lot of common sense.

In May of this year, A Niang and her aunt planted a piece of cotton on the wasteland on the river beach. They would water it from time to time and pick the insects on it. Insects are easy to grow in the cotton field. In the era without pesticides, It can only be rescued by this simple and crude method, including soybeans and sesame seeds grown in the river beach.

After the sweet potato is planted in the ground, when it grows luxuriantly, you have to turn over the vines that are pulled on the ground, turn them over, or trim them, so as to prevent them from only growing leaves and not growing the tubers below. Every crop has its own planting methods and characteristics, which the hard-working aunt and aunt can always do.

When sesame grows up, the leaves can be picked, washed and dried in the sun. In winter, you can make some noodles with sesame leaf pulp. It is unpalatable, so whenever Zhuo Lin goes to the river beach, she will pull the leaves under the rhizomes. The upper ones are afraid of affecting the growth. Some of the lower ones have turned yellow, and the elders are harmless.

　Finished today, see you tomorrow.
