  Chapter 175 Selling Sweet Potatoes

Seeing that people were almost coming, Zhou Li said loudly: "Everyone, sweet potatoes are grown in the field of Ah Shan's family today. Some of you may not know what sweet potatoes are, so I will introduce them to you. They are the ones I have in my hand. This. It can be eaten as food. You may not believe it if you tell me about the yield per mu of Ah Shan’s family today, but it has reached tens of thousands of catties. She only planted four acres of sweet potatoes, and she actually harvested more than 40,000 catties.”

  As soon as his voice fell, some people present chattered.

   "Ten thousand catties per mu? Could this be fake?"

   "How is it possible, is Zhou Lizheng someone who would make fun of us?"

   "It's too much to produce ten thousand catties per mu. The rice we planted before was only two to three hundred catties."

   "Yes, the high-yield rice grown by Ah Shan this year is only a thousand catties per mu."

  …

Zhou Lizheng continued: "Ashan's field has harvested a total of more than 40,000 catties, 30,000 catties have been sold, and there are still 10,000 catties left. She also wants you to taste it. If you like it, I want to grow sweet potatoes next year. She will sell you seeds."

  The villagers looked at each other. If they can grow sweet potatoes with a yield of 10,000 jins per mu next year, they will use one or two mu of land to plant them, plus high-yield rice, and they will probably never be hungry again.

   I just don’t know if this sweet potato tastes good. If it tastes like bran, they don’t want to eat it. They have eaten enough bran before, and they don’t want to eat it anymore.

Zhou Lizheng said loudly: "The price Ah Shan sells to outsiders is two renminbi a catty, and it is also two cents a catty to you. You can try it. The worst rice costs fifteen cents a catty. High-quality rice costs twenty yuan a catty, but now you can buy ten catties of sweet potatoes for twenty copper coins, no matter what you say, you won’t lose money, think about it for yourself.”

   After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, giving them time to think for themselves.

  The villagers discussed again:

   "According to what Lizheng said, two renminbi a catty is not expensive. Twenty renminbi can buy ten catties, but I don't know how long ten catties can last."

   "Yeah, this sweet potato must have plenty of water in it. I don't know if I can endure hunger?"

"The worst rice for a catty costs fifteen Wen. If a catty of rice is steamed, it means two to two and a half catties. There is also water in this sweet potato. You can buy seven and a half catties for fifteen Wen. I think, It’s much more cost-effective to buy sweet potatoes than to buy rice.”

   "In my opinion, let's spend ten copper coins to buy five catties and try it first. If it tastes good and can withstand hunger, we can continue to buy it in the future. We can also grow it ourselves next year, and we won't be hungry again."

   "That's right, it's only ten copper coins. We can earn forty pennies a day, not much."

   "Well, I agree."

  …

Nangong Anshan said: "By the way, let me tell you how to eat sweet potatoes. When cooking rice, whether it is dry rice or porridge, you can put sweet potatoes in the rice and cook together. Just cut into pieces. If I don’t want to cut it into pieces, but after washing it, I can steam it in a steamer while cooking, or bury it under the stove and bake it with fire, which is very convenient.”

  Cao Zhenya thought about it for a while, and said firstly: "Ah... my little boss, I want forty catties."

  One person persuaded: "Mr. Cao, forty catties is too much, let's buy five catties first. If it doesn't taste good, it will fall into my own hands."

Cao Zhenya smiled and said: "It's okay, my daughter and I tasted it just now, this is very sweet, baked and eaten is simply delicious in the world, my daughter and I like it, so I simply bought a little more, one time Eat enough."

   Another person asked: "Is it really delicious?"

  Wu Binger said: "It's really delicious, even more delicious than the wild fruits on the mountain, sweet and not sour at all."

  Everyone felt that there was no need for Wu Binger to lie, so they also moved their minds to buy sweet potatoes.

   "Then I will buy five catties."

   "I'll buy ten catties."

   "I'll buy twenty catties."

  …

  Nangong Anshan glanced at the table and the pen and ink slips that had been prepared not far away, and said, "Everyone, go there and line up, someone will greet you right away."

  Cao Zhenya was the first to walk over.

  Others followed suit.

   An hour later, the sky completely darkened, and all the villagers who were willing to buy sweet potatoes bought sweet potatoes.

  Nangong Anshan calculated the number of catties recorded on the slips, and unexpectedly only sold 3,000 catties.

  She said: "It's very late today, Aunt Cao, you'd better have someone put the rest in the cellar of my house. If anyone wants to buy it again, just go to my house and buy it."

   That's all, it's not bad for her to make snacks with the rest.

  Cao Zhenya nodded, and immediately ordered people to do it.

   Another hour later, all the sweet potatoes had been put into the cellar, and some people who went back early had already started roasting the sweet potatoes.

  Nangong Anshan also ordered people to pile up all the sweet potato vines in the field and deal with them tomorrow.

  Zhou Lizheng bought a hundred catties for Nangong Anshan's face, and by this time, Mrs. Zhao had already roasted the sweet potatoes.

   Mrs. Zhao also has no objection to her man buying so many sweet potatoes. Nangong Anshan takes care of their family so well, so they should buy the most.

   Mrs. Zhao felt that the time was almost up. He pulled the sweet potato out of the stove, and then quickly opened it. When he smelled the sweet potato, he said in surprise: "This sweet potato is really fragrant."

  Zhou Lizheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, this sweet potato is delicious, you'll know after a taste."

"it is good."

  When Zhou Lizheng's family ate sweet potatoes, they were all shocked.

   "This sweet potato is really sweet."

   "Yummy, sweet potatoes are so delicious."

   "If I eat such sweet sweet potatoes every day, I have no problem at all."

   "That's right, I thought this was terrible, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

  …

Zhou Lizheng said: "Then let's plant it next year. One mu of land can produce 10,000 catties per mu. We can plant one mu of land and the rest of the family's land can be planted with high-yield rice. This way, after we hand over the grain next year, we can have a lot of rice. to eat."

  Zhao Shi said: "Yes, sweet potatoes are not unpalatable, it doesn't hurt to have more varieties."

   Others also said:

   "I agree too."

   "Sweet potatoes are sweet, I like sweet, and there are many kinds."

   "I also like sweet potatoes, I agree to plant them."

  Zhou Lizheng said: "Okay, that's the decision. Next year, we will ask Aran to buy seeds."

"it is good."

   At the same time, other people also feel delicious after eating sweet potatoes, and they all agree to plant sweet potatoes next year.

   Nangong Anshan's dinner tonight is mainly sweet potatoes.

   Nangong Cheng devoured the food, "Sister, this sweet potato is really delicious."

   Nangong Mo said: "I like it too, it's really too sweet."
