There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 228

When Yi Meng was helped in by Quan Quanjin, she immediately received teasing looks from several other people in the room.

Before she could react, she heard Wang Daya say: "Meng Niang, quickly see if the corn is ready."

Being interrupted by her like this, Yi Meng's attention was really diverted immediately.

There are wooden boxes filled with soil on the kang of this house, and a thick layer of soil is spread on the ground.

It's not easy for Yi Meng to go to the kang to see it now, so he can only look at the corn plant closest to the door.

Now the corn whiskers have grown, yellow and clear.

The corn is also very plump, with a chubby ear, which is very attractive to look at.

Yi Meng peeled off the top husk of an ear of corn, revealing the golden corn kernels inside.

One next to the other, it looks very full.

I picked one of my nails, and corn juice came out.

"It's done!"

Under the nervous and expectant eyes of everyone, Yi Meng finally said these two words.

Everyone immediately cheered.

As farmers, what makes them most happy is naturally the bumper harvest.

And before this corn, they also ground some flour, and it tastes good, fragrant and sweet.

Look at the corn in this room again, it still grows inside the house, not as reckless as it grows outside, but looking at an ear of corn, the number is really not old or young.

If they were all planted in the ground, the harvest would probably not be worse than other types of crops.

Yi Meng waited until everyone finished cheering, and then said: "Now it is ripe, but it is very fresh and tender, and it tastes sweet. But if you want to save the seeds, or grind them into powder, it will take a long time."

Yi Meng had naturally eaten corn in her previous life, so she could clearly tell the difference between old corn and tender corn.

When everyone heard it, they were not disappointed.

Wang Daya even clapped his hands and said: "It doesn't matter how long it takes, we have planted several houses! We will save more seeds later, and we will plant them all when spring comes next year!"

"Yes, then there will be a lot of corn to eat in the future."

Qu Laidi followed suit.

Like her husband Qi Sangui, Mu Yunniang usually doesn't talk much, but at this moment, she also seldom speaks in agreement.

Yi dreamed that everyone had a plan in mind, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't forget to tell your parents about this, so that they will be happy too."

After finishing speaking, Yi Meng couldn't help swallowing as she looked at the corn that she had peeled off a little.

She wants to eat boiled corn.

Fresh and tender corn, the kind that takes a bite of water.

Qi Quanjin was naturally happy that the corn was ripe, but he didn't forget to pay attention to his daughter-in-law.

Seeing his daughter-in-law watching the corn swallow her saliva, she felt both amused and distressed, and said, "There are still seeds left in the barn, and there are many of them planted at home. I think I'll break them down today, so that they can be harvested." Let's all try it out!"

Are you reluctant?

Certainly not willing!
But gluttony is really gluttonous!
They haven't tasted the taste of fresh corn yet!

So with Quan Quanjin taking the lead, everyone immediately got busy.

Not too much tearing, just tear off the ones that grow first on the kang, and keep the ones on the ground as seeds.

Yi dreamed that they were busy working happily, but he still couldn't hold back and said: "These corn stalks are cut and dried, and they can be used as firewood later."

"Just burn it like this? What a pity!"

Wang Daya stopped breaking the corn and looked at Yi Meng expectantly: "Meng Niang, can this thing be fed to livestock? Our family still has so many mouths!"

"can!"

Yi Meng readily agreed, but then realized that she didn't really understand, so she said in an uncertain tone: "Let's get some chopped up and feed them to the livestock at home, and don't give too much. Let them eat some and see if there is any reaction. If there is no reaction, feed them more later.”

"Success!" Wang Daya was relieved when she heard this.

It's not good for Yi Meng to stay here any longer.

She was pregnant, and her family wouldn't let her work, and she wasn't even allowed to go to places that were slightly dangerous on weekdays.

Now everyone is busy with their work, she just stands here, not getting in the way, afraid of accidentally hurting her.

So she took the job of delivering letters to the rest of the family and went out first.

The two elders of the Qi family were naturally very happy when they heard the news.

Even Qi Manman's eyes were shining, begging Qi Chengshi to take her to have a look.

So Qi Cheng waved his hand, took his little granddaughter and grandson, and followed Qi Zheng to watch the excitement.

That night, the Qi family compound was filled with the unique aroma of boiled corn.

Thanks to the north wind blowing, it's cold outside, and the doors and windows of every house are tightly closed, otherwise, if they smell the smell, they may have to come and ask.

It's not that I'm greedy for a bite, but mainly because of curiosity.

No one is asking now, and the Qi family is happy to keep it a secret.

Next year, it will be cultivated in an all-round way, and the villagers will be told what it is after a good harvest.

When the time comes, let them taste the taste of this thing for themselves, and it will be easier to convince them to join in.

The days passed so slowly, and it was the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, the Qi family became busier.

Vegetable seeds have already been planted in the places vacated by the previously harvested corn.

Thanks to the blessing of the space spring that Yimeng took out from time to time, the vegetable seeds planted at the end of October grew well in the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and could be picked and sold at any time.

Cucumber and watermelon seeds that were rewarded with corn seeds were also cultivated in the room.

Cucumbers are not as straight as what Yi Meng saw in later generations, they are basically gagged, just like dysplasia.

But the taste of such cucumbers is exceptionally good.

Fragrant and refreshing, whether it is cooking or eating as a snack, it is very good.

The appearance of watermelon is even worse.

The sweetness of watermelon is strong, but the skin is thick.

Even so, everyone loves watermelon very much.

It's just that Yi Meng can't eat too much.

Cucumbers and watermelons are basically free to eat in Qi's family, but they have not been sold outside.

These two things are easy to leave seeds. If someone deliberately leaves seeds, it will definitely be a big loss for the Qi family to cultivate them next year.

So the family decided that before promoting cucumbers and watermelons, they would enjoy them all, just like corn.

There are not many other things about them now, but more on the spot.

The remaining 100 mu before, plus the 600 mu allocated by the county magistrate, amounted to more than [-] mu of land.

There are no particularly rich families in the village now, and they can buy a house with a yard of one or two acres at most to cover the sky.

The rest, as long as no one buys them, they will all be used by the Qi family.

In this way, their family will really be cultivating corn, cucumbers and watermelons on a large scale next year.

Thinking of that scene, the whole family felt that a lot of money was waiting for them to pick up.
