Chapter 57 New Year's New Weather

Li Xiao, who was busy laughing with her parents and brothers and preparing for the Chinese New Year, naturally didn't know that her fruit wine was being missed by the princess who was far away in the capital.

Because life is getting better, Li Xiao left six jars of fruit wine for her family this year.

The transplanted fruit trees did not bear fruit this year, and they would not be harvested until at least next year. She was so busy that she did not care to soak more.

Soon, the last day of the 324th year of the Dali calendar became a thing of the past amidst the laughter of Li Dashan’s family.

The new year is here!
On the first day of the new year, eight-year-old Li Xiao stayed in bed because after returning to her room after staying up late for the New Year, she was too excited to think about the future and could not fall asleep for a long time.

Breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year is plain noodles. It is a custom here to eat vegetarian food on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In fact, according to Li Xiao, it is a custom formed over time because the people are poor.

When Li Xiao got up, everyone in the family ate. Li Yuan gave her a small handful alone, added vegetables and an egg.

Oh, don’t ask, just ask that eggs are vegetarian.

During the New Year this year, a lot more villagers came to Li Dashan's house to pay New Year greetings. The house was very lively with people coming and going.

Li Qingsong also went door-to-door with his younger brothers and sisters to pay New Year greetings.

After New Year's Eve, Li Dashan once again found the Li Dazhuang brothers. His family's more than seven acres of dry land and 42 acres of low mountain land had to be sorted out.

This year, 22 acres of low mountain land are planted with yam, the remaining low mountain land and five acres of dry land are planted with unicorn fruit, and the remaining land is planted with pepper.

Once the land is cleared, the yam seeds will have to be raised.Then we have to go into the mountains to prepare pepper cuttings and unicorn fruit cuttings.

Seedling raising is an important step in transplanting. Because it is the first time, all seedlings can only be prepared as much as possible.

Three men, plus three boys, spent half a month carefully tidying up the floor.

When they started to prepare the land, Li Xiao and Li Yuan were already sifting out reed seeds and leftover seeds. When the land was ready, by the beginning of February, the leftover seeds had been planted.

I've put down some spare parts, and the reed heads are almost drying.

In order to plant the reed heads as soon as possible, Li Dashan invited a few more well-connected and diligent people to help.

It took ten adults, plus a few children, two days to plant all the reed heads, covering more than ten acres.The remaining yam tubers must be used to grow seedlings.

Another two days of busy work.

In the past few days, the news that Li Dashan's family paid people to do work has naturally spread.

Li Dashan took the opportunity to find the village chief and told him about his discovery of high-yield yam in the mountains. However, according to her daughter's teachings, he only said that he sold half of the [-] kilograms and kept the other half for breeding.

I want to ask the village chief to come forward and see who in the village is willing to plant yam. He can send up to fifty seedlings.

Li Dashan also told the village chief that the yam can be eaten or used for medicine. Jishitang collected [-] yuan per catty last year.

Even if there is a lot planted in the village this year, the price will not be too low. Besides, there are many restaurants and wealthy households in the town. The yam tastes good, so there is no need to worry about selling it.

Besides, his family plans to plant 22 acres of low mountain land. When the time comes, everyone can learn how to plant and raise it. They don’t hide their secrets!

After hearing this, the village chief was naturally happy. He immediately struck the gong and gathered everyone under the big banyan tree.

When everyone heard the news, after being quiet for a few breaths, they started talking one by one.

Many people gathered around the village chief asking this and that, and the village chief was extremely noisy.

After loudly telling everyone to be quiet, Li Dashan was asked to show up and explain. Li Dashan had no choice but to repeat what he told the village chief.
