Chapter 293 I'm Not That Generous (Sorry for posting the wrong chapter. Please skip.)
During this period, Xuan Shen had no time to go out.
The matter of finding his father's coffin was put on hold.
Li Lanzhen also devoted herself to the planting and harvesting of greenhouse vegetables.
Now more than 40 greenhouses have been fully built.
The two greenhouses that were finally built were also filled with sweet potato vines and potatoes that had already grown two leaves.
Li Lianzhen looked at the weather. The temperature was getting lower and lower. Sweet potatoes and potatoes were afraid of freezing when transported over long distances.
Once frozen, they would be useless, so she wanted to send out a batch of food as soon as possible.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the first five greenhouses should be ready to be dug in the next two days.
She silently calculated in her mind that the greenhouse should be able to produce about 30,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
She has stored about 50,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes in her space.
The ten acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the space should be ready to be dug up.
Add to that the pumpkins and winter melons stored in the space, there are about 50,000 kilograms.
In this way, the first batch of food transported to the military camps of the border guards can reach more than 200,000 kilograms.
Thinking of this, she walked into the first five greenhouses.
Originally, there were ten vegetable greenhouses, which were divided into two halves. Five greenhouses were used to grow vegetables, and the other five greenhouses were used to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.
When she went in, she met Zhang Deshui.
Watching him with his hands behind his back, happily walking among the sweet potato and potato fields.
Li Lanzhen knew that sweet potatoes and potatoes should have a good harvest.
Seeing her come in, Zhang Deshui greeted her warmly.
"Sister-in-law, you are here, come and see!"
Li Lanzhen took a few quick steps towards him and looked in the direction his finger was pointing.
There were two sweet potatoes and three or five potatoes.
But, they are all surprisingly big!
Li Lanzhen grabbed a sweet potato.
"Oh my god! Is this what you just dug out? Isn't this sweet potato so big?"
Li Lanzhen couldn't hold it with one hand, so she had to hold it with both hands.
Zhang Deshui laughed proudly.
"The land here is so good and fertile! It can produce a lot of things!
I think the yield per mu of land this time can reach about 6000 kilograms."
Li Lanzhen bent down and picked up another potato. The potato was not as big as a sweet potato, but it was much bigger than the common ones.
"Brother-in-law, look at these sweet potatoes and potatoes. When are we going to dig them up?"
Zhang Deshui said with his hands behind his back and a smile.
"You can dig it out now, or you can dig it out after two days of growth!"
He looked around and said happily.
"After digging out the potatoes and sweet potatoes, we quickly leveled the land and prepared the soil, and then we can continue planting.
The land here is fertile and there is no need to plant the wrong crops.”
"Okay, I'll go discuss with Xuan Shen and see when to transport them away."
In the evening, Xiaowu took Shitou to the Sifang Restaurant in Youzhou City to discuss matters with Manager Hua.
Shitou was selected by Xiaowu himself, and he has been keeping him by his side to teach him. He said that Shitou is calm and composed in the face of difficulties, and has a smart and clever mind.
So Shitou became Xiaowu's little follower.
They don't like rowing, so they just run through the mountains and forests, saying that this can build up their physical strength.
More than two hours later they came back.
Tell the shopkeeper Li Lanzhenhua to bring a boat over tomorrow to pick up the food.
So at breakfast the next day, Han Shunde arranged for people to dig sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Almost all of them are strong laborers and young people around sixteen or seventeen years old.
After Mr. Xu and Lu Boyan found out, they also stopped classes for half a day and joined the team digging potatoes and sweet potatoes.
One of them is responsible for keeping accounts, and the other is responsible for watching the scale.
It was originally decided to use five greenhouses to grow crops.
Zhang Deshui decided to plant sweet potatoes in three greenhouses and plant potatoes in two greenhouses.
But everyone said that eating sweet potatoes would cause heartburn, so they asked him to plant more potatoes and less sweet potatoes.
He shook his head. "It's more important to have a full stomach, why worry about heartburn? The yield per mu of sweet potatoes is much higher than that of potatoes. If sweet potatoes cause heartburn, just add some wild vegetables to them and eat them. Isn't that better?"
Everyone thought his words made sense and felt ashamed that they had just filled their stomachs and already they were complaining and being picky.
Two days later, all the sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug!
The average yield of sweet potatoes per mu reached more than 6000, and the yield of potatoes per mu reached more than 5000.
Han Shunde and his friends, who had already witnessed the high yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, were also grinning from ear to ear.
Not to mention Shopkeeper Hua, Bai Houpu, and the people in the small mountain village who saw the per-acre yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes for the first time.
All the burlap bags that Hua Zixi brought were used up, but it was still not enough.
Later, Han Shunde and his colleagues took out all the baskets and padded them with thick straw to keep them warm.
This solved the loading problem.
As for the sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, winter melons and other grains in the space.
It was estimated by Li Lanzhen and Xuanshen in the space that it was at least 80,000 kilograms.
"Aunt, you should leave some in this secret place."
Xuan Shen knew that Li Lanzhen wanted to take out all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the space and send them to the border, so he made a suggestion to her.
Li Lanzhen waved her hands and said, "It's okay, take them all. You see this ten acres of land, the growth rate is much faster than outside. By the beginning of next spring, when we need to plant on a large scale, we can save enough seeds.
In this way, the first batch of food that Taohuayuan sent to the border guards, a total of 20 kilograms, was loaded onto the ship.
Bai Houpu also collected more than 200 kilograms of medicinal herbs and took them along.
Wu saw Bai Houpu and his companions brought herbs.
He walked up to Li Lanzhen and whispered to her.
"Sister Lanzhen, would you like to take some of the herbs in the valley?"
Li Lanzhen shook her head, "No, I'll keep all of these with you.
There are more and more people in Taohuayuan, so we need to stock up on a lot of medicinal materials for emergencies."
Li Lanzhen is selfless and wants to do something for this country that is in need of reconstruction.
However, it does not mean that she can harm the interests of herself and her loved ones!
She first had to make sure she and her family had enough to eat and were not harmed by disease.
Only under this premise can we contribute surplus food and other supplies.
Li Lanzhen knew that she was not that magnanimous!
In fact, deep down, Wu was unwilling to hand over these medicinal herbs.
Li Lanzhen once told her to take good care of the medicinal herbs in that small valley and not tell anyone else, except for them.
She picks and prepares them according to the season, makes them into powder and pills, and then stores them.
For this purpose, Li Lanzhen also gave her 1000 small porcelain bottles to hold medicine powder and pills.
Later, Bai Houpu and others discussed who would deliver the supplies, and Xuanshen also followed Manager Hua to the border to deliver the grain and medicinal materials.
Bai Houpu instructed Xuan Shen, "When you go to Youzhou City, don't forget to report to the government office.
Ask the prefect to write a letter and ask him to send troops to protect you."
Li Lanzhen immediately understood what Bai Houpu meant.
Otherwise, ginger is still spicy!
By doing so, the safety of Xuan Shen and Manager Hua, who are transporting food and medicinal materials, can be ensured.
Secondly, he also handed over this part of the credit to the prefect of Youzhou City.
Li Lanzhen didn't want to get involved in these matters. She just wanted to provide this batch of grain.
And she knew she had to do it!
Emperor Jingyuan gave her the title deed to this Peach Blossom Spring.
It wasn't just because she saved Su Chen and the princess, but also Xuan Shen and the prince.
In fact, he valued Li Lanzhen's ability to provide more than 5000 kilograms of grain per mu!
