Chapter 24 (1/2)

Lian Ze looks up and says, ”elder sister, do you really want to go?”

Lian Fangzhou nodded and said with a smile, ”don't worry! Didn't Hunter sun come back well after so many visits? Where to go, where not to go, how far to go in that forest, he must have a clear mind! Follow him, nothing will happen! ”

Even Ze see can't persuade her, had to stuffy ”Oh” one.

Lianfangzhou looked around and found that apart from forests, there are many wastelands with short shrubs and weeds that are suitable for cultivation.

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but see a twinge of hot eyes: in the end, it's ancient. If we put it aside now, let alone wasteland, I'm afraid that the forest land has been reclaimed.

”There are so many wastelands, but we don't have much strength. If only we could reclaim them! You can grow many things! ” Lian Fangzhou could not help sighing.

”Elder sister,” Lian Ze looked at her and said with a smile, ”it's not that easy! To reclaim wasteland, we need to send people to measure and value it, and pay for it. Then we need to go to the County Yamen to put it on record and take the title deed. That's what counts! ”

”And money!” Lian Fangzhou understood. No wonder no one reclaimed!

”How much will it cost per mu?” She asked hastily.

”I don't know that.” Even Ze shook his head and said, ”no matter how much, we can't drive now!”

”You said the same!” Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, ”when we get rich, we can have a try. It's all mountains, not good fields. I don't think it's expensive!”

It's a good thing that you can get the title deed with some money

”Even so, it depends on whether it is worth it or not,” lianze said again. ”After the wasteland is opened up, it will be taxed every year! It's like three hundred Wen for an acre of land. ”

“……” The original ancient taxes are so numerous! If only there were a loan for farmers!

They were busy for a long time, and finally dug up all the sweet potatoes. Lianze and lianfangzhou put them in baskets. One picked a small half of the baskets. Lianfang Qing and lianche also took a basket made of bamboo, each carrying a basket.

The four ants moved back and forth three times, and finally brought all the sweet potatoes back home.

In the past, they were directly stacked in the corner of a room, but even Fangzhou let them all pile up in the attic.

The loft is dry, the sweet potato will not rot, it can be better preserved, and the moisture contained in the sweet potato will slowly evaporate more, so the sugar content in the sweet potato will be increased, and it will taste sweeter.

In fact, there are many ways to eat sweet potatoes. In addition to making sweet potato porridge and baking at the edge of the stove, you can also cook sweet potato syrup, peel off the skin and cut it into pieces, hang it in a thin oil pan and fry it, throw it into a plane and dry it in the sun to make sweet potato silk, steam it and cut it into pieces and spread it out in the sun to make sweet potato dry. If it is polished into powder, it can also make cakes of various tastes, beat it into pulp, and Can make sweet potato powder

However, as far as the current economic situation of even the family is concerned, many eating methods can only be reviewed in the brain.

Sweet potato flour, sweet potato cake is the most remote; boiled sugar water, sugar? How much oil does it take to fry in the oil pan? Lianze can eat her!

The only thing I can think about is making some sweet potato silk and drying some sweet potatoes.

This can't be done more, because although the taste is much better after this treatment, it's basically a category of snacks, not enough to eat! And they need this sweet potato to fill their stomachs now!

So we can only make some dozen tooth sacrifices and save some for the Spring Festival.

Early after supper, Lian Fangzhou forced Lian Ze to go with her to the village head Sun Changxing's house and ask about going to xianteng mountain.

Sun Changxing's family is a migrant with no farmland, only two or three mu of thin land, poorer than Lianjia's, living in a thatched hut, so we can imagine the situation at home.

But what Lian Fangzhou admired most was that sun Changxing and his wife had to bite their teeth to send their only 13-year-old son, Sun Ming, to the school in the county. It's said that the result is not bad. It's one of the five scholars who are expected to be admitted to the Academy next year.

It is precisely because the couple have to pay a large amount of money every year, so they have been unable to buy good farmland, and sun Changxing has to venture into xianteng mountain again and again.

When Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze came, they were sitting at a simple table for dinner.
