Chapter 224 The True and False Daughter’s Brother-in-Law (10)

In one morning, Qin Sheng and his family found more than 2000 catties of pumpkins and about 1000 catties of corn.About 3000 catties of grain were harvested, and Qin Sheng and his family were very happy.

Qin Sheng and the others considered that they didn't know how to store pumpkins, so they didn't plan to continue picking them. Instead, they carried all the more than 3000 catties of food home.

Although Chen Qiuxiang had space to store so much food, she didn't want to expose her own space, so she followed everyone back home carrying pumpkins and corn.

"Qin Sheng, what are you carrying?" Qin Sheng was seen by others when they went down the mountain and returned to the village, and asked suspiciously at the pumpkins and corn they were carrying.

"This is grain from the mountains." Qin Sheng said with a good temper, "We found it on the Loquat Mountain over there. Our family found more than 3000 catties of grain after searching for half a day."

"If you want to look for it, you can also go to the mountain to look for it." Qin Sheng said seriously, "I think there should be a lot of this kind of food called pumpkin on Loquat Mountain. If you look for it, you should be able to find a lot."

What Qin Sheng said is really not a lie. The total area of ​​Pipa Mountain is about four to five thousand mu. According to the yield of those pumpkins planted by Chen Qiuxiang, the yield per mu of pumpkins is multiplied by five thousand and divided by ten or twenty. Millions of catties of pumpkin.

Now Qin Sheng's family and Qin Shijiu's family have only picked less than [-] catties of pumpkins, and other families can find pumpkins of hundreds of thousands of catties if they go up the mountain to look for them.

"What kind of food is pumpkin?" the man asked curiously.

"Pumpkin is a kind of food that tastes a bit sweet after cooking. Our whole family ate it yesterday, no problem." Qin Sheng said, "Okay, I won't tell you more, my family still has several thousand catties of food. It’s on the mountain and hasn’t been moved back yet, so I don’t have time to continue talking to you.”

Speaking of which, Qin Sheng went home with pumpkins. The man looked at the appearance of everyone in the Qin family carrying a full load home, and then thought about the thousands of catties of grain that Qin Sheng said.

Thousands of catties of grain, who wouldn't want it?It took Qin Sheng and his family a long time to find several thousand catties of grain, so what if their family found it in a day or two?How many catties of grain can be found?
That person hurried home, still holding a small pumpkin weighing four to five catties that Qin Sheng gave him in his hand, he was going home to look for it, and the rest of the family went up the mountain together to find this kind of food called pumpkin, Of course, if you find corn, it is also very good.

Qin Sheng and his family went back and forth several times to move thousands of catties of pumpkins and corn home from the mountains. When looking for pumpkins and picking pumpkins and corn, they were not as tired as when they were moving home. In the afternoon, Qin Sheng’s family didn’t want to out.

It was really tiring, but they were very happy even though they were very tired. They were very happy to see the corn and pumpkins stored in the warehouse.

"These corns should be dried for storage, right? They look similar to wheat and soybeans, so they should be dried and stored?" Chen Qiuxiang said, looking at the corn in the warehouse.

Mrs. Zheng looked at the sky outside. The sky was clear and it was very convenient to dry the grain. Then she said to her sons, "Take the corn out to dry. It's better to store it after drying."

"Okay." The others replied, they definitely didn't want to go out in the afternoon, so it should be good to dry the corn at home.

Chen Qiuxiang took a look at the pumpkins. The storage of pumpkins requires a lot of straw to lay the bottom and then store them in cellars.

More than 2000 kilograms of pumpkins, Chen Qiuxiang asked others to put more than 1000 kilograms of pumpkins in the cellar with straw as the bottom, and then select those pumpkins without any wounds to store in them, so that they should be stored for a longer period of time.

Chen Qiuxiang planned to make the remaining pumpkins, which were about a thousand catties, into dried pumpkins, which could be stored for a longer period of time.

So, in addition to drying the corn, other members of the Qin family were also working hard to make dried pumpkins in the afternoon. After peeling the pumpkins, the pumpkin seeds were also removed, and the pumpkin meat was cut into strips and placed in the sun. dry.

While Qin Sheng's family was busy drying and storing grain, the entire Qin family village was already alarmed by the news of pumpkins and corn. Countless villagers flocked up the mountain to look for pumpkins and corn.

Although Qin Shijiu's family complained a bit, after they found several thousand catties of grain, they were also worried about how to store pumpkins. What if they picked too much and it broke because they couldn't finish it?Isn't that a pity?
So Qin Shijiu's family stopped going up the mountain after picking about five or six thousand catties of pumpkins and corn. They also visited some Qin Sheng's homes and asked them how they stored pumpkins and corn.

So, led by Qin Sheng's family, Qin Shijiu's family also began to dry corn and dried pumpkins, and put some fresh pumpkins in the cellar for storage.

The yield of sweet potatoes is also very high, not much different from the yield per mu of pumpkins. Although Chen Qiuxiang's planting is very sparse, the yield of sweet potatoes in the entire Loquat Mountain must be at least 200 million catties.

So, after Qin Sheng and his family stored fresh pumpkins and dried corn and pumpkins to dry, they went up the mountain with hoes and baskets on their backs. They were going to dig sweet potatoes.

Up to now, people in Qinjia Village are still busy looking for pumpkins and corn all over the mountain. Loquat Mountain is quite big, and the road is not easy to walk, so it is very labor-intensive to search for pumpkins and corn all over the mountain.

Now that the pumpkins and corns in the better places have been picked, other families in Qinjia Village have to go to higher places and deeper places to find pumpkins and corns.

But the people in Qin's Village didn't find it hard. Who of them was not happy that they could find so much food?Would rather work a little bit and harvest so much food, the people of Qinjia Village still think it's a good deal, can they make a lot of money?
Then, when other families in Qinjia Village searched for pumpkins and corns all over the mountains, Qin Sheng's family started digging sweet potatoes up the mountain again.

"Qin Sheng, what good things did your family find again?" Qin Nineteen saw that Qin Sheng's family went up the mountain again with a hoe and a basket, and suddenly became interested and asked.

"Go up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes." Qin Sheng said with a smile, "Didn't we rush to pick pumpkins and corn before? We didn't dig sweet potatoes."

"Now that the pumpkins and corns we have picked are almost the same, we plan to dig some sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are also delicious." Qin Sheng said.

"What is sweet potato? Is it food? It's the same food as that pumpkin and corn?" Qin Nineteen asked enthusiastically.

"Almost, and sweet potatoes are delicious too," Qin Sheng said.

"Is this sweet potato as productive as pumpkin and corn? Then I'm going to dig some and save the seeds. If our family grows these sweet potato corn and pumpkin every year in the future, we won't be afraid of starvation." Qin Nineteen said.

"That's right, if our family grows this kind of food in the future, then we won't have to worry about going hungry in the future." Qin Sheng also said.

As the peasants in ancient times, what did they care most about?It's food, so you don't have to go hungry.

But now, I don't know if the mountain god of Loquat Mountain has appeared or what is going on, but they are lucky to have given them so much high-yield grain.
