Chapter 35 Selling Sweet Potato Leaves

In the next few days, Xiaowei's Mansion returned to its former calm, and the relationship between Wei Ruo and his family members became colder than when he first arrived.

Especially He Yun, when Yun was warm to Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo didn't respond very enthusiastically, but now that Yun is cold, Wei Ruo is even colder.

Wei Yichen was a little worried about this, but Wei Ruo didn't care.

She doesn't care how other people in the family treat her. She has several things on her hands that need to be busy.

First of all, the sweet potatoes on Xiaoyang Mountain have already grown vine leaves.

Sweet potato vine leaves (sweet potato leaves) are also a good food, which can be picked off and eaten as green vegetables, which is an additional benefit of sweet potatoes before they mature.

And sweet potato vine leaves have an advantage. Pick as much as you can sell, and leave it in the ground if you cant sell it, providing nutrients for the underground sweet potato tubers.

It was the first time picking sweet potato vine leaves, the nanny was a little uncertain, and Wei Ruo sent Xiumei over because it was inconvenient to go in and out.

After Xiumei and the nanny met, the two directed the long-term worker to pick a part of the sweet potato fields. The picked sweet potato vine leaves were divided into handfuls, **** with straw, packed in baskets, and placed in a container that was convenient for transportation. On the bullock cart.

For the first picking, considering that the common people didnt know enough about sweet potato vine leaves, Xiumei and the nanny only picked two baskets according to Wei Ruos instructions.

Then the bullock cart was transported to the market for sale, and it cost two cents a piece.

This price is set by Wei Ruoding, it is not expensive, and the profit is small but the turnover is high.

Wei Ruos prices for agricultural products are generally not too high, and he pursues quantity to win; on the contrary, Wei Ruo will try to set as high a price as possible for some things that only dignitaries and wealthy children can afford.

The sale of sweet potato vine leaves is also to better promote the sweet potato crop, and to prepare for the subsequent launch of a larger number of sweet potatoes.

On the way to the market, the nanny went home and fried a large plate, and brought them to the market.

After taking it to the market, use smaller zong leaves to roll into a funnel shape, and put the fried sweet potato vine leaves into it, each with only one bite.

Let the long-term workers who help to transport help to yell: "Two pennies a piece, free tasting."

Due to the lack of arable land in Xingshan County, vegetables are more expensive than those from other places. In addition, the bad weather in recent years has reduced the production of vegetables, and Japanese pirates have caused troubles, resulting in fewer caravans coming and going, and fewer vegetables from other places. , the final result is that the price of vegetables in Xingshan County is several times more expensive than elsewhere.

The green and fresh vegetables worth two cents really attracted many people to watch.

Although I havent seen it, there are finished products to try.

The nanny enthusiastically handed the rice dumpling leaves with fried sweet potato vine leaves to the onlookers.

After learning that this is an edible vegetable with a refreshing and delicious taste, and the price is very affordable, some people began to buy it with the mentality of giving it a try.

After a while, two baskets of sweet potato vine leaves were sold out.

After leaving the market, Xiumei followed the nanny to their current residence.

There is a shop in the front and a small house in the back. It is not a big place, but the nanny's family of three is very satisfied.

Especially the location, the choice is very good, it is close to the Captain's Mansion, and the shop in front is in a busy street, so when the shop opens, there should be no worries about the traffic.

Xiumei and Xu's family spent lunch in the small house together and then returned to Xiaowei's Mansion.

When he came back, he brought Wei Ruo sweet potato vine leaves and some fungus vegetables. They were all prepared by the nanny's family for Wei Ruo, they were afraid that Wei Ruo would not be used to eating in the Xiaowei's mansion.

After that, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to guard the door of her room and not let anyone in.

Then he went into the space by himself and collected the sweet potatoes planted on the two lands in the space.

The speed of growing plants on the land in the space is different from that outside. The sweet potatoes on Xiaoyang Mountain in the north of the city have just grown full of sweet potato leaves, and the ones in her space are ready to be harvested.

After collecting two baskets of sweet potatoes, the experience value of the space has increased a lot, and there are only less than 100 experience points left for the 1,000 experience points needed to upgrade.

With the upgrade in sight, Wei Ruo is looking forward to the new seed that will be updated after the upgrade.

Wei Ruo didn't transport the harvested sweet potatoes out of space, and it was too suspicious to conjure up two baskets of sweet potatoes out of thin air.

Wei Ruo stored the sweet potatoes in the space after harvesting them. As long as the storage environment is dry, they will not go bad in a short time.

Now it is inconvenient to transport it out of the space for sale, so lets keep it in the space and make it her backup food.

In case of disaster at any time, there is a shortage of food and water, there is ready-made spare food and water in the space, at least it can guarantee that you will not starve to death.

The next day Wei Ruo went to the south of the city in person, and with the documents Wei Mingting gave her, she was successfully let off by the guards at the south gate.

In the south of the city, Wei Ruo chose a piece of flat land with convenient transportation and close to the water source as her experimental field.

Let the two long-term workers assigned to her by Yun's carry out the work of weeding and plowing.

Later, they were asked to carry water from a nearby river to irrigate the land every day.

It is really puzzling to ask people to water every day when there is nothing planted on the ground.

Moreover, Wei Ruo asked the long-term workers to turn the land into seedling fields that can grow rice. It was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and the rice in other peoples homes had grown beyond their knees. Not really know how to grow.

Nanny Zhang and the two long-term workers have some opinions on this, and feel that Wei Ruo's operations are weird.

After working for two days, Nanny Zhang couldn't help but mentioned to Wei Ruo: "Miss, why don't you change some other crops? Although I haven't farmed for many years, when I was in my hometown, I often heard people say There is a time for everything, and there is a time for growing crops, melons, fruits and vegetables, after this time, it will not be able to grow well!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I promise you will have time to sow rice after you clear the land." Of course Wei Ruo knows the importance of time.

It will be June soon, and normal rice will definitely not be able to be planted.

But the rice seeds in her space are varieties that can be used for both 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 she can fully catch up.

In this way, she can also experiment with saline-alkali land improvement and late rice planting.

If it succeeds, not only can the arable area of Xingshan County be greatly increased, but also two crops of rice can be planted a year, which can increase food production in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.

"Then what about the straw and rice bran for the melons, fruits and vegetables that the eldest lady asked us to collect?" Madam Zhang asked again.

"Those will continue to be stored, and it will take some time. When the time comes, I will tell you how to use them." Wei Ruo said.

Nurse Zhang looked at Wei Ruo's confident face, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Forget it, its useless to say it, the eldest lady doesnt seem to be able to listen to persuasion.

And the eldest lady also said that it is her fault that this matter cannot be done, and that she will be punished at that time, and it has nothing to do with her.
