Zhu Xiuyun smiled casually and said:
"Haha, you know how to joke. What does Qingqing know? It's good to know a few words."
Whenever Meng Hang said Qingqing taught him homework, Zhu Xiuyun thought it was a joke.
I happened to meet Wang Sanmei in the fields just now. Su Mingjuan made an appointment with her to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms together tomorrow.
Zhu Xiuyun didn't want to go. She wanted to dig a ridge of sweet potatoes while her daughter was away.
He also mentioned that they had harvested potatoes today and that the mother and daughter would go home to clean them up. Zhu Xiuyun asked Su Mingjuan to take some to her second uncle's house.
He packed another separate bag and said to Meng Hang:
"Meng Hang, when you leave, take two potatoes back and let your grandma try them. Our family just started eating them today."
"Grandma Zhu, you can keep the money from selling it. We have a lot of food at home."
Meng Hang knew that Grandma Zhu was definitely talking about energy potatoes. In summer, vegetables mature quickly, and everyone expects energy vegetables to be sold, although they will also eat some.
"It's okay, just two potatoes, no big deal. Be obedient and pick them up when you leave."
Meng Hang had often visited the Su family since he was a child. It was normal for the two families to send things to each other. When Grandma Zhu insisted, she stopped being polite.
"Okay, thank you Grandma Zhu."
"You kid, why are you so polite to me?"
Zhu Xiuyun smiled, thinking that Xiaopangdun has grown up, is polite, and can say thank you, which he would not say in the past.
Zhu Xiuyun sat in the courtyard, washed her clothes first, and swept the courtyard. When Su Mingjuan came back from her uncle's house, she asked her to prepare dinner.
As a peasant woman, she is busy all day long and has no time to spare.
When Meng Hang left, he picked up the cloth bag Zhu Xiuyun placed in the corner and let out a surprise.
I was a little dazed, just why the two potatoes were so heavy and how much Grandma Zhu packed.
When he opened the bag and took a look, Meng Hang almost screamed, "There are really two potatoes, each one is as big as a child's head."
"Qingqing, come and see, the potatoes Grandma Zhu gave are so big."
Su Qing glanced at him and said lightly:
"There's nothing strange about it. Isn't it just a big one? Take it back quickly and let Grandma Meng make it into a dish. How does it taste?"
Meng Hang was right when he thought about it. It was just a big potato. It was not like he had never seen it before. When harvesting potatoes, there would always be a few oversized potatoes.
With a strong effort, he picked up the cloth bag and said, "Qingqing, I'm going back. After dinner, let's go watch Star TV together."
"Yeah!!" Su Qing nodded,
Because they harvested a lot of potatoes today, the mother and daughter of the Su family planned to make potato pancakes.
Pick a few that are not in good condition and are small in size, peel them and cut them into pieces, steam them in a pot, take them out to cool, mash them, add a bag of polenta paste and a bowl of flour and mix them into dough, then bake them into thin pancakes. Rolled with green cabbage leaves, green onions and miso, it's very delicious.
There is a lot of synthetic food at home, and even if it tastes unpalatable, it must be mixed in and eaten. The synthetic corn and wheat need to be blended into a paste in a special machine. Only in this way can it taste better. Most people like to use vacuum packaging to store it in the refrigerator. , take it out and heat it directly when eating.
Most people in the village, even if the crop yields in the fields planted in summer increase, are reluctant to eat more energy vegetables. They will sell them to the purchasing station to save money for their children to go to school, build houses, weddings and funerals, and need money for daily needs.
Eating vegetables grown on one's own land will taste almost the same, but at most it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, but it won't kill you. If you mix it with synthetic grains and eat it, you will be able to stop being hungry.
No one cooks and eats like the Su family. Su Mingjuan is used to eating at the Li family. The Li family rarely sells energy vegetables and eats most of them.
Since her mother is willing to eat and she is not picky, she eats everything and doesn't care.
Zhu Xiuyun knew her little granddaughter's ability. There was no shortage of energy food at home. If she could eat well, there would be no need to worry about anything.
Thinking of Boss Yang's shocked look when the mother and daughter were selling potatoes today, it was a bit troublesome. Qingqing must be restricted from using her powers in the future.
The next morning, Su Mingjuan got on the tram and went up the mountain with Wang Sanmei to pick mushrooms. Zhu Xiuyun took Qingqing to the new courtyard planting field to dig sweet potatoes.
"Grandma, you will dig the sweet potatoes later, and I will help put them in the basket."
Zhu Xiuyun said worriedly: "Qingqing, I didn't pay attention at first. Who knew potatoes and sweet potatoes would grow so big? Yesterday we went to sell potatoes, and the boss looked surprised. If we sold sweet potatoes to him, would it be too conspicuous? Already?"
"Grandma, do they only collect raw potatoes and sweet potatoes? Can't we process the potatoes and sweet potatoes and sell them?"
"They won't accept cooked food. The Meng Yuexing government stipulates that individuals are not allowed to sell processed food without a license. It is difficult to apply for the license. The fleet is also a middleman. The goods are collected directly into the factory or From a large trading house.”
"They don't harvest dried sweet potatoes. They cut the sweet potatoes into slices and dried them in the sun. The essence has not changed much. They are still raw, just like herbs and mushrooms after they are dried, and they are easier to preserve."
Zhu Xiuyun meditated. In her understanding, the vegetables they sold to the purchasing station or paid taxes were all fresh food. She never thought that they could use another method to process the vegetables and sell them in the sun.
"I'll dig a ridge and try it first. Even if they don't accept it, I can still eat it myself,"
Zhu Xiuyun was at his wits end. When he arrived at the planting field, he selected a ridge of sweet potatoes in the middle. He first cut off the sweet potato seedlings with a sickle, and then dug up the soil from the sides. As expected, the sweet potatoes grew bigger than the potatoes.
Zhu Xiuyun is excited and worried at the same time. She has been farming all her life. Who would have thought that one day she would be upset because the crops she planted grew too well.
Anyone who sees a sweet potato as big as a basin will be shocked. Even Su Qing opened his mouth in shock. This is too big. Let alone selling it, it will take a long time for the family to eat it!
The empire's control over the primitive planet is too strict. No matter how good it is when it is sold as non-staple food, no one can see what the raw materials look like.
What Su Qing doesn't know is that only primitive galaxies can be managed in this way, and it is also based on control of resources and restrictions on human rights on primitive planets.
In some areas of the medium galaxy and the central galaxy, there is no social structure like Meng Yuexing.
People live very freely and commerce is developed. Many people can open stores and sell things on Xingwang at will.
Meng Yuexing is not connected to the real star network at all, it is just a planetary local area network. There are still many people who have never been online.
It took Zhu Xiuyun more than an hour to dig out a ridge of sweet potatoes. Looking at so many sweet potatoes, the two of them were dumbfounded for a long time.
"Grandma, how are we going to transport the sweet potatoes?"
"Don't worry, let me rest first."
Zhu Xiuyun sat on the ground, his head covered with sweat. He would talk after a while.
Qingqing quickly brought her a glass of water.
Zhu Xiuyun took off his gloves, drank it in one gulp, and stood up.
"Qingqing, just wait, I'll borrow a wheelbarrow and bring it over. I can transport it with a few carts. I'll put it in the yard next door, and then we'll slowly slice it up and dry it in the sun."
Zhu Xiuyun borrowed a wheelbarrow from someone unknown, spread a layer of hay in the car, loaded the sweet potatoes, pushed it out of the planting field, and unloaded it into the yard next door.
After pulling several carts, I finished loading the sweet potatoes and locked the door of the new yard. I didn’t have time to take care of the sweet potatoes in the yard.
She returned to the planting field and saw that the time was almost 9 o'clock.
Restore the sweet potato field that was dug up, select appropriate stems from the cut sweet potato seedlings, and insert another ridge.
After finishing the work, my arms and legs ached, so I picked up all the sweet potato seedlings and piled them beside the pig pen to slowly feed the pigs.
"Oh, we're done, Qingqing, let's go back first and cut sweet potato slices in the afternoon after dinner."
Zhu Xiuyun patted the dirt on his body and started working after a break after dinner!
