Chapter 1202 New Idea for a Good Harvest of Beanworms

"Li Lang, Li Lang, look at how many worms I brought back, all plump."

Thin ice had formed on the shore. Princess Yongmu did not greet the child. She took people to the 20-acre bean field to get worms.

Eight days ago, she had already brought back a batch of bean worms, which were raised in the land specially reserved for the Li family's farm.

They are seed worms, and they will be used for reproduction next year.

Select the big and strong ones, and lay eggs in the greenhouse next year, and then transplant them to the bean field.

The ones brought back from the vegetables now are edible bean worms, which need to be buried with sand.

Layer by layer, that is, put a layer of sand, then put a layer of bean worms, continue to cover with a layer of sand, and put bean worms...

Generally, five layers are enough, and they are taken layer by layer when eating.

Not only is she collecting, she is the starting gun. She said to reserve seed worms, and the people of Jingzhao Prefecture followed her to select seeds and hide them according to the instructions in the newspaper.

She said that they can be eaten, so they are all collected, and the people quickly collected and stored them.

There is no need to wait. All restaurants and hotels start to purchase, and the purchase price of Lijiazhuangzi is announced.

Restaurants and hotels must offer at least 10% higher prices to receive worms, otherwise people will not sell.

If it is 20% or 30% higher, people would rather sell to Lijiazhuangzi than a little more.

People are not stupid, they know that Lijiazhuangzi is holding the price.

If the price is increased by 10%, it will be unfair to Li Dongzhu for holding the price so high.

"We will fry them for lunch." Li Yi reached out and grabbed a few fat bean worms from the big basket and swallowed his saliva.

Bean worms are specially raised, and they feel clean psychologically.

If you see a single bean worm, you will not want to eat it, unless you are very hungry, you can eat it raw.

Baskets of them, people will think that this is food, no different from fish and shrimp.

Grasshoppers can be caught and strung on a string and fried, and there are also tussah silkworms.

Tussah silkworms look scarier than bean worms, with edges and corners? And hairy thorns? Like caterpillars.

The bean worms didn't know their fate, they were surging there.

"I have 20 mu of them." Princess Yongmu used to be afraid of worms.

Ever since she knew that bean worms are better than eggs, and they can also increase people's income.

After getting to know them slowly, she found that worms are quite interesting.

"Do we have enough food in our farm? I can sell the ones I raise in my farm, or give them to whoever you want."

Li Yi naturally regarded the bean worms raised by Princess Yongmu as those from the farm, and the ones from the farm became tradable.

"Shall I ask someone to send some home?" Princess Yongmu was happy, and Li Yi didn't mention buying her bean worms.

"The peppers have been harvested, and the dried peppers are also sent out. Next year... Next year, pick a little onion, not too much? I still need to save seeds, so I can plant them later."

Li Yi glanced at the green pine next to him, and the green pine disappeared in a flash, and Ge Yan, Zi Yu, and Huang Bai started slowly.

Xiaolan laughed heartlessly there, and Zi Yu started slowly, and stopped suddenly again, PIA.

Ziyu got up and glared at Xiaolan. Xiaolan bent over and glared back. Ziyu looked away.

"Li Lang, are bean worms really better than eggs?" Princess Yongmu ignored the two people.

"How is that possible? It's just propaganda. In order to get everyone to eat, eggs and bean worms are used to make dishes. The quantity of dishes is different."

Li Yi never thought that worms and cocoons were inferior to eggs.

Eggs can be cooked in various ways, but other things can be cooked in fewer ways.

Speaking of protein, a worm has more than an egg.

Four boiled eggs can make you full, but can four worms make you full?

Eggs can be eaten after they are cooked, but Li Yi feels that he can't eat boiled worms.

Unless the environment changes, you will starve to death if you don't eat them.

"It's more expensive than eggs!" Xiaolan said, holding Princess Yongmu's arm.

"Because there are fewer, and it is indeed better than growing beans. From a nutritional point of view, it is cost-effective to raise bean worms, with the loss of beans and the extra bean worms."

Li Yi is not hyping bean worms. He calculates the ratio of reduced soybean production to the overall nutritional intake of bean worms.

For those who raise bean worms, the consideration is the price.

Li Yi concluded from a biological perspective that raising bean worms in bean fields provides more protein for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

He would not lie about this matter. He only needs to consider asking the people to distinguish between bean moths, frost moths, willow moths and other species.

Why don't you eat other moths? Because they are prone to allergies, that is, they are poisonous.

Mulberry moths are mulberry silkworms, and the probability of protein allergies is high.

Tussah moths, that is, tussah silkworms, have low allergies.

The golden pupa eaten later is actually mulberry silkworms, but after special breeding, they are poisonous.

Otherwise, mulberry silkworm pupae cannot be eaten. Once they are allergic, what can be used to treat them?

Now the Tang Dynasty does not eat mulberry silkworm pupae. There are examples of people eating them to death.

Tussah silkworms can be eaten, but only in the north, Chang'an, and the most in Bohai State, where the Khitans have the best control.

"This year, people in the northern part of Hebei will send a large amount of hazelnuts, pine nuts, cocoons, platycodon, and other things, as well as ginseng and pine mushrooms."

Li Yi said to the people around him, life is better now, isn't there a trade channel with the northeast region?

He ruined the plan of someone wanting to marry a Tang princess, and trade flourished.

The Khitan King Li Shihuo was so old, but he insisted on marrying a young Tang princess.

That was Princess Yongle, who was also not the biological daughter of Li Longji or Li Dan.

The key point was that after the marriage, she died a year later, and the princess became his brother's wife again.

Like Princess Jincheng, it feels like it’s not easy to marry a Tang princess. Anyone who wants to marry one has to kill one first.

Li Yi didn’t agree. He said he didn’t need you to marry her. If you want to make trouble, he will deal with you directly.

The Northeast region got benefits last year, mainly thermos, kerosene lamps, and some medicines.

The kerosene for the kerosene lamps was continuously transported there for sale, and the price was not low.

None of the thermos bottles were brought back for replacement. They were not broken. The price was so high, so people who used them were very careful.

“Li Lang, the ginseng there is better than Codonopsis and Salvia.” Princess Yongmu commented on the Northeast ginseng.

"There are overlaps and differences in functions. For example, if you go to the plateau, the ginseng there is not very effective.

But the ginseng there is indeed effective in keeping people alive. I hope I can extract it in the future.

No matter which kind of ginseng it is, it can be used for injection to treat diseases.

Grow it, grow it every year, collect wild ones, and grow them year after year. Fertilize them and you can eat them in five years, but you need to increase the amount.

After eight years, the grown ginseng will shrink and grow, and then gradually grow bigger."

Li Yi thought of something. Ginseng is not in short supply now, but it will be in short supply if you use too much in the future.

Grow more, and five-year ginseng will be good, which can be used to extract active ingredients.

People don't know the technology of growing ginseng now. You need to cover it with straw curtains, and then move the sunny slope to the shady slope.

When he first developed this technology, it was mostly for export and sold to the Japanese.

Later, the Japanese had an inspection team come, and the local officials in Northeast China were flattering.

They answered whatever they asked, and asked the ginseng growers to visit and explain to the Japanese.

Then the Japanese understood, what the hell, we bought such expensive ginseng, you grow it like a big carrot? OK!

Then the Japanese adjusted the price, and it dropped from the peak to the valley in an instant.
