The Blessed Princess
Chapter 35 Selling Sweet Potato Leaves
In the next few days, the Xiaowei House regained its calm as before, and the relationship between Wei Ruo and his family members became colder than when he first arrived.
Especially He Yun, when Yun was being warm to Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo was not very enthusiastic, but now that Yun was cold, Wei Ruo was even colder.
Wei Yichen was a little worried about this, but Wei Ruo did not care.
He didn't care how the rest of the family treated him, he had a few things that needed to be preoccupied.
First of all, the sweet potato on Xiaoyang Mountain had grown grape leaves.
Sweet potato leaves (leaf sweet potatoes) are also a good food to pick and eat as a green vegetable, an added bonus before the sweet potatoes ripen.
And sweet potato leaves have the advantage, pick as much as they can sell, and leave in the soil if they cannot be sold, providing nutrients for the sweet potato tubers in the soil.
This was the first time picking sweet potato leaves, her nanny was a little unsure, and Wei Ruo sent Xiumei over for being uncomfortable to get in and out.
After Xiumei and the nannies met, the two directed long-term workers to pluck a portion of the sweet potato field The leaves of the picked sweet potato were divided into several handfuls, tied with hay, packed in baskets, and packed in baskets, and placed in the container it is convenient for transportation On the bull cart.
For the first plucking, considering that the layman did not know enough about the sweet potato leaves, Xiumei and the nanny only took two baskets according to Wei Ruo's instructions.
Then the ox carts were transported to the market for sale, and they cost two cents per piece.
This price was set by Wei Ruo, the price was not expensive, the profit was small but the turnaround was quick.
Wei Ruo's prices for agricultural products were generally not very high, and he was chasing the quantity to win; instead, it was, Wei Ruo would try to set the highest possible price for some things that only the rich and the rich could afford.
In addition, the sale of sweet potato leaves is also to further promote the sweet potato plant, and to prepare for the next launch of sweet potatoes in greater quantities.
On the way to the market, the nanny went home to fry a large plate and take it to the market.
Once brought to the market, use the smaller zong leaves to be rolled into a funnel shape, and put the fried yam leaves into it, each with just one bite.
Then ask the long-term worker who helped transport to help yell: "Two cents per fruit, free tasting."
Due to the lack of arable land in Xingshan County, vegetables are more expensive than elsewhere, and the weather is unfriendly.bad over the past few years, and vegetable yields have declined. , and Japanese pirates caused problems, resulting in fewer caravans coming and going, and fewer vegetables being shipped from elsewhere. The end result is that the price of vegetables in Xingshan County is several times more expensive than elsewhere.
These two-cent green and fresh vegetables really attract a lot of people to watch.
Although I haven't seen it yet, there are finished products you can try.
The babysitter enthusiastically handed Zongye with fried yam wine leaves to the audience.
Knowing that this is an edible vegetable with a refreshing and delicious taste, as well as a very affordable price, some people start buying it with the mentality to try it.
After some time, two baskets of sweet potato leaves sold out.
After leaving the market, Xiumei followed her nanny to their current residence.
There was a shop in the front and a small house in the back, the place was not big, but the three-member nursing family was very satisfied.
Moreover, the location was very well chosen, close to the Captain's Mansion, and the shop in front was in a bustling neighborhood, so when the store opened, there was no need to worry about traffic.
The Xiumei and Xu families spent lunch together at Xiaowei's Mansion, where they returned after lunch.
When he returned, he brought Wei Ruo's sweet potato vine leaves and some mushroom vegetables. They were all prepared by the nanny family for Wei Ruo, they were afraid that Wei Ruo would not get used to eating in the Xiaowei mansion.
Afterwards, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to guard the door of his room and not let anyone in.
The speed of plant growth on the ground in space is different from outside.The sweet potato on Mount Xiaoyang in the north of the city has just grown full of sweet potato leaves, and the one in its place is ready to be harvested.
After accumulating two baskets full of sweet potatoes, the value of the space experience had increased tremendously, and there were only less than a hundred experience points left from the thousand experience points needed to level up.
With the visible improvement, Wei Ruo looked forward to new seeds that would be renewed after the upgrade.
The sweet potatoes Wei Ruo harvested did not come out of the room, and it was too suspicious to pop out two baskets of sweet potatoes from thin air.
Wei Ruo stored the sweet potato in the room after harvesting it, during the dry storage environment, it would not rot in a short time.
It's not convenient to take it out of the room to sell right now, so let's keep it in the room and make it a backup food.
If disaster strikes at any time, there is a shortage of food and water, and there is ready-made food and water reserve in space, at least to ensure you don't starve to death.
The next day, Wei Ruo went south of the city personally, and managed to get the guards at the south gate to release him with the documents Wei Mingting had given him.
In the south of the city, Wei Ruo chose a flat piece of land with convenient transportation and close to a water source as his trial ground.
Let the two long-term workers assigned to him by Yun do the work of weeding and digging.
After that, they were asked to transport water from a nearby river to irrigate the land every day.
It is really confusing to ask people to water every day when nothing is planted in the ground.
In addition, Wei Ruo asked long-term workers to turn the land into a nursery field that could grow rice.It was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and the rice in other people's homes had grown beyond their knees. I don't really know how to plant.
Nanny Zhang and the two long-term workers had an opinion on this, and felt that Wei Ruo's operation was strange.
After working for two days, Nanny Zhang inevitably told Wei Ruo: "Miss, why don't you replace the other plants? Even though I had not farmed for years, when I was in my hometown, I often heard people say Everything has its time, there is a time to grow crops, melons, fruits and vegetables, he said, after this time, they won't be able to grow well!" "Don't worry, I know what I am
do it, I promise I'll wait for you to clear the ground There's still time to sow rice." Of course, Wei Ruo knew the importance of time.
The month of June is soon, and ordinary rice definitely cannot be planted.
But rice seeds in the room are varieties that can be used for early and late rice.
The early rice will bloom next month, while the late rice will not be sown until the sixth and seventh months of the lunar calendar, and he can catch up completely.
In this way, he could also experiment with improvements to saline-alkali land and late rice cultivation.
If successful, not only the arable area in Xingshan Regency can be significantly improved, but also twice the rice planting can be planted in a year, he said, which can increase food production in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
“Then what straws and bran are there for melons, fruits and vegetables that the oldest mother asked us to collect?” Madam Zhang asked again.
"It takes some time for them to continue to be stored. When the time comes, I will tell you how to use it," Wei Ruo said.
Nanny Zhang looked at Wei Ruo's confident face, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back down.
Forget it, it's useless to say, the oldest woman can't seem to listen to people's persuasion.
And the oldest woman also said that it was her fault that this matter could not be done, and that she was the one to be punished, and that it had nothing to do with her.
