Chapter 199 Reasonable Provenance
She didn't have much savings in her previous life, so she saved whatever she could.
And they spend money on so many people in the production team, do they know?
Will they be grateful to her?
not necessarily!
The captain nodded, "Let's harvest first, and we'll talk about these things after the harvest is finished. And you have to tell everyone which ones are suitable for making seeds!"
Xia Chan nodded, "Okay, I will listen to the team's instructions at any time."
After that, the brigade leader went to the brigade headquarters and rang the gong for the meeting. Soon all the villagers, including the educated youth, rushed over. Everyone looked at the brigade captain with confused expressions.
After all, the food and money had just been distributed, and it was not the time for winter hunting now. There was no water in the river and there was no way to fish, so they couldn't guess what the theme of today's meeting was.
Could it be that you are giving out rabbits to everyone?
Some people couldn't help but look forward to it when they thought of this.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I hurriedly called everyone over today because I have something to tell you, and it's a good thing." The captain raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. When everyone calmed down, he raised his hand high. I took the cassava in my hand, and when everyone saw it, I peeled off the skin of the cassava in front of everyone, and then ate it loudly.
Everyone didn't know what the captain was eating, but seeing how delicious he was eating, everyone couldn't help but drool.
"The thing I just ate is called cassava. It can be eaten raw like sweet potatoes. It is crispy and sweet when eaten raw. It tastes similar to sweet potatoes when steamed. It is soft and waxy. This cassava, our production team used to be No, yes When Xia Chan went to the market, she met people from other places selling at a stall. She asked about the planting method. After she came back, she told me about it. After discussion, we decided to find a place to do the experiment. Unexpectedly, it actually worked. "< br>
"We didn't say anything before because we were afraid that people would follow us in hoping and then be disappointed, so we decided to wait until the results are available before telling everyone. Today we are telling everyone because the results are available and cassava can be eaten. , you can dig it too.”
"Everyone has a good rest today. Tomorrow each family will send a strong laborer to work to dig cassava. When the cassava is dug out, leave the seeds and give each household a hundred kilograms first, so that everyone can taste the taste, and then report Give it to the leader and see what the leader means.”
Xia Chan didn't expect that the captain would find a reasonable source for her cassava, so that she wouldn't have to think of excuses. Moreover, every time there was a big market, there were so many people setting up stalls, who would remember every stall? What is being sold?
Everyone was very happy after hearing this. There was something more to eat. From now on, they could eat freely without having to control their food intake.
After the meeting, everyone went home. Have a good rest today and start working again tomorrow.
Xiao Tiantian came over and took Xia Chan's arm, and said with admiration, "Xia Chan, are you too calm? You can hide such a big thing from the captain for so long."< br>
"We can't hide it. What if some people who don't want to see everyone's good life know about it, secretly cause damage, or trample to death the cassava we planted?" Xia Chan spread her hands, looking helpless. There are all kinds of people in the production team, and it is indeed possible!
"Xia Chan, how do you dry those sweet potatoes and potatoes? I want to dry half of them and send them home." Xiao Tiantian said.
"You don't need to dry it, just divide it a little and keep it for yourself. You have been exchanging supplies with me. Then after I dry it, I will give you a hundred kilograms each. How about it? One hundred kilograms is really a lot. It's dried, and it's dried. After all, it takes hundreds of kilograms to dry out a hundred kilograms. There's no point in drying it so much. You'd better eat it yourself!" Xia Chan was short of Xiao Tiantian, so she gave it to her directly! Dried sweet potatoes or potato chips will also work.
Xiao Tiantian smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."
"What's the trouble? You exchanged this for me, it's not for free." Xia Chan said with a smile.
If it were a gift, Xia Chan wouldn't give so many. After all, drying dried sweet potatoes and potato chips is really troublesome. They have to wash and slice them one by one. They can't dry them in a day, and they have to carry them to the yard to dry them every day. It takes several days to dry before being packaged.
Xia Chan had to go to class in the afternoon, so she didn't chat with Xiao Tiantian and the others for long. Instead, she parted ways with them near the educated youth point. She went home to cook, eat, and tidy up before going to school.
The captain was afraid of causing more trouble, so he quickly asked someone to dig up 180 kilograms of cassava, quickly cleaned some of it, and then asked Aunt Lin to cook a little, put some raw cassava and cooked cassava in it, and then rode Bicycle to the commune to find Secretary Mo.
He thought it would be better to report it as soon as possible, before it was dug out, to avoid anything happening.
The team leader arrived at the commune office building and went straight to Secretary Mo's office. He excitedly placed two pieces of cassava in front of Secretary Mo and handed the chopsticks to Secretary Mo. Secretary Mo looked at the expectant team leader and was very surprised.
"Secretary Mo, this is cassava. This is cassava grown by our production team. I brought some here today just to let Secretary Mo have a taste." The captain handed over the chopsticks.
Secretary Mo raised his eyebrows, "Cassava? I heard that this was a life-saving food for farmers in the past, but we don't have it here!"
"Secretary Mo, you eat first. After you finish eating, I will tell Secretary Mo about the cassava situation in detail." The captain said with a smile.
Secretary Mo took the chopsticks over, picked out a piece of cooked cassava, and took a bite. "It tastes pink and a bit dry, but it's not as unpalatable as I heard. However, this product has a high yield and can be eaten when there is no food." Time can indeed be life-saving food.”
"I encountered this cassava when Xia Chan went to the market. I guess some relative sent it from other places or brought it here. I think people here have never eaten cassava. To us, cassava is a It was a rare thing, so I took it to the market and sold it. I happened to meet Xia Chan. Didn't she graduate from high school? She read a lot. She must know that cassava is edible and has high yield. If there is such a thing, everyone will not be hungry anymore, so she buys cassava. Came down and told me.”
"After we discussed it, we looked for open space on the mountain to do experiments. Unexpectedly, we actually planted it. Last year we planted a little bit, so we didn't report it to Secretary Mo. This year we planted it in a large area, on several hills. There are about ten acres, and there are five or six large cassava stalks hanging under one cassava tree. We conservatively estimate that we can harvest 30,000 jins of cassava this year," the captain said, gesturing with his fingers.
When Secretary Mo heard this, he stood up excitedly, "This year there has been drought and little rain. There have been a few drizzles in the middle, but it has not had much effect on the crops. The damage is quite serious. What are your plans?" ?”
