Chapter 87 - Rice crackers 2
Chen Xiayue thought about it and felt that what Zhang Chengchuan said was very reasonable. The south is not bad, and there are many places in the south where rice fruit trees and oil fruit trees can be placed, not necessarily even in the north where heavy snow seals the mountains.
There are still many provinces in the south, so Chen Xiayue asked the system to pull out the national map. There are still many provinces south of the Qinling Mountains and south of the Huaihe River.
Chen Xiayue planned to spend 500,000 gold coins to buy 10,000 rice fruit trees. Relatively speaking, rice crackers are what everyone needs more, and oil fruit trees don’t need that much.
In more than a dozen provinces, Chen Xiayue has planted nearly a thousand rice fruit trees in each province, and of course all of them are in mountainous areas. And the mountainous areas she put in are all inhabited by people nearby, otherwise how could everyone discover the existence of rice fruit trees?
There will also be an oil fruit tree around these rice fruit trees. Chen Xiayue doesn’t have so many gold coins to buy oil fruit trees, so she bought more than a dozen oil fruit trees.
There is only one oil tree in each province, no more.
Chen Xiayue was satisfied after the rice fruit tree was put in, and urged Zhang Chengchuan to quickly send the cooked Laba porridge to her grandparents, so that they could also taste the Laba porridge she made.
The Laba porridge made by Chen Xiayue is thick and sweet. Not only Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang like it, but also adults and children in the family.
The Yunhe Brigade really doesn’t care much about festivals like Laba Festival, how to celebrate it or how to celebrate it, after all, it’s not a big New Year’s Eve.
But after eating Laba porridge today, everyone remembers the day of Laba, because this Laba porridge is so delicious.
It doesn’t mean that as long as it is sweetened with sugar, the Zhang family also understands that this Laba porridge is not only delicious because of the sugar, but also because the people who make Laba porridge are so good at their craftsmanship.
The Zhang family whispered in private that although the young daughter-in-law of the second room was not in good health, her cooking skills were really good. Her mother’s father deserves to be a chef, and her daughter’s craftsmanship is so good.
Of course, even if the eldest Boehm Wang Cuifang still complained about how bad Chen Xiayue was, no one would pay attention to her. She was the daughter-in-law of the second room, not her Wang Cuifang’s daughter-in-law, and it was not her Wang Cuifang who lost.
And they are all beneficiaries, how can they be like Wang Cuifang who doesn’t know how to eat other people’s food and speak ill of others behind their backs?
After eating the Laba porridge sent by Chen Xiayue, the other rooms also gave gifts in return, such as dried radish, pickled cabbage, sun-dried dried vegetables and dry goods in the mountains.
Don’t be an idiot about Chen Xiayue’s things, it’s better to get along with each other.
Everyone in Chen Xiayue and Zhang’s family is happily eating Laba porridge, and many people across the country are not full and hungry.
A mountainous area in Guizhou Province.
The people in the mountains do not grow much food, because there is not much land to grow, so winter is very difficult.
Li San was born in a mountain village in the mountainous area of Guizhou Province. Their village is about dozens of miles away from the county seat. The most important thing is that the road into the mountain is particularly difficult.
There is not much arable land in the mountains, and the only crops that can be planted are sweet potatoes and corn, and crops such as rice and wheat are unlikely. Even sorghum cannot be planted on a large scale.
The yield of soybeans, mung beans and other crops is not very high. Everyone thinks that it is not as cost-effective as sweet potatoes and corn, so they will not plant legumes on a large scale.
Because of the lack of arable land, it is common for people in the mountainous areas to be hungry. Li San has not eaten for three days, that is, he found some edible wild vegetables and cooked them, but he couldn’t fill his stomach at all.
There are six children in Li San’s family. He is the third and the least valued. His parents and siblings are almost like him.
It is cold and hungry in the winter, which is a true portrayal of most of the people in Li San and his village. There is nothing special about Li San and his family.
On this day, Li San went to the mountains to find something to eat as usual. In the winter, I don’t know if I can find some wild fruits that slip through the net, or if there are some wild vegetables.
It also snows in Qian Province, but compared to the heavy snow in the north, the snow in Qian Province is a thin layer, so Li San can still look for something to eat under the snow. .
Of course, if you are lucky enough to find a nest of animals such as squirrels, you can also see if there is any food for small animals in it.
Li San did not enter the mountain alone. The adults in the family would tell the children not to enter the mountain alone. There are wild animals in the mountain.
Thirteen-year-old Li San certainly couldn’t go into the mountain alone. He went into the mountain with three friends of the same age, and before he knew it, he went a little farther.
“Li San, Li San… What do you see over there covered with trees?” Liu Er, one of Li San’s friends, said excitedly, pulling on Li San’s arm.
Not far from Li San and the others, there was a big tree covered with fruits similar to grapefruit. The trunk of the tree was one or two meters thick, and the tree was full of fruits.
“Let’s see if I can eat it.” Li San and the others are all young boys, and they are not as cautious as Liu Wu of Yunhe Seventh Team. When they saw the fruit of the tree, they were only surprised. They couldn’t remember why this happened. There were still so many fruits hanging on the tree.
Li San and the others went under the tree and watched the tree branch from a height of about one meter above the ground into two huge trunks.
Li San and the others climbed up neatly. They are all children who grew up in the mountains. They have rich experience in climbing trees and have good skills. Not to mention such an easy tree to climb, even a straight betel nut tree can be used. Climb up.
Li San picked a large fruit and touched it, it felt like the skin of a grapefruit, but Li San leaned up and sniffed it, and it didn’t seem to smell like a grapefruit.
Moreover, the appearance of this tree is not a grapefruit tree, neither the appearance of the tree nor the appearance of the leaves is like a grapefruit tree, just the fruit looks like a grapefruit.
Li San broke off a branch and cut the peel, and then saw that the peel of this fruit was really similar to that of a grapefruit, and when he opened it, he saw a full albuginea.
Li San also tore open the albuginea seriously, and saw something like rice inside, with very distinct grains. Li San didn’t care, nor did he think about whether it would poison people if it was poisonous after eating it, and ate it directly.
“Bah, bah, Li San, why do I feel like this is rice? It’s still raw.” Li San’s little friend Liugen also took a bite and said with a frown.
When the rice crackers are just picked, they also carry moisture after the rice is harvested. If you want to store them, you need to dry them in the sun.
Li San also tasted the taste of rice. He chewed the rice grains in his mouth, and then looked up at the fruit of the tree, and was very pleasantly surprised.
“Liu Gen, Liu Er, Agou, we have food to eat.” Li San said happily, Li San happily picked several rice crackers with the others, remembered the location of the rice crackers, and hurried back home.
They have to go back and tell the adults at home the good news. The output of a rice **** tree is very high, so many rice crackers they have to go back and tell the adults, there is no need to go hungry.
