Chapter 785: Additional Income to Be Tried

"It's better to eat at Li Dongzhu Zhuangzi. Before I came here, I heard that the same size oysters and scallops are sold in the East Market for five yuan."

Princess Xiaolan and Princess Yongmu didn't eat vegetables just now. They were sitting and eating melon seeds.

Datang now has several varieties of watermelons, including those that specialize in seed production. They are not sweet, but have large seeds and many seeds.

Seed melons are mostly grown in Longyou Road and are eaten by the middle and upper class. How can the lower class have money to buy melon seeds?

Li Yi looked at a small pile of melon seed shells and smiled: "If you think Zhuangzi is good, then stay here forever. If you like to eat melon seeds, there will be enough for you all year round."

"I don't like to eat melon seeds, I just want to wait for you." Xiaolan retorted, smacking the melon seeds until her tongue hurt.

Li Yi nodded and followed the topic of melon seeds and said, "The Gobi area is most suitable for growing melons. I have a technology called stone-soil technology.

If you put stones on the Gobi soil and plant melon seeds, you don't have to worry about it. Wild beasts generally don't cause much harm. There are no wild boars there.

When the season comes, all that is left is income. I take out the melon seeds and dry them in the sun. I have a way to fry them to get the current taste. "

"Wuxiang knows." When Xiaolan heard about melon seeds, she couldn't help but reach out to grab them.

Princess Yongmu tapped her finger on the table, and Xiaolan stuck out her tongue.

Princess Yongmu looked at the melon seeds and asked curiously: "Li Lang, why do you put stones on the ground?"

"I also learned it. It is said that when stones are pressed on the soil, the soil will not be easily dried by the wind. When it rains, the stones can also retain the moisture.

The seedlings of the cold melon are particularly tenacious. After they sprout, they emerge from the soil without caring about the rocks on them.

Take the seeds, soak them in warm water, and plant them. No one needs to take care of them anymore, and there is no need to hoe the grass. "

Li Yi compared the information and said, that's what they grow, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Do birds eat watermelon in the wild?" Princess Yongmu didn't know who ate watermelon.

"Hedgehogs, wolves, badgers, wild horses, sheep, wild boars, pheasants, everything."

Li Yi looked at the information and gave the answer. He ate watermelon if he found something, including people.

"You want to tell the common people?" Princess Yongmu first thought of the fact that Lijiazhuangzi's ordinary skills were not kept secret.

"People who live near the Gobi have to collect the seeds after planting them and transport them out. Only by raising the price of watermelon seeds will merchants collect them."

Li Yi doesn't care about technology. What he considers is whether the people who plant melons can make money.

The melon farmers themselves do not have sales channels, so everything depends on the purchaser.

Princess Yongmu lowered her head and thought about it, then asked, "How much will the merchant give me for the melon seeds now?"

"It depends on what the merchant thinks, how far the distance is, and the quality of the melon seeds. The price they give is usually very low."

Li Yi talked about businessmen and shook his head again.

He provides benefits to businessmen and promotes business development, but he also knows the nature of businessmen.

It is better to grow seed melons than watermelons in the Gobi. The shelf life of watermelons is short, and the seeds of seed melons are harvested.

If Zhuangzi collects watermelon seeds for twenty cents per catty, merchants from the nearest place on Longyou Road only charge one cent for a catty of raw melon seeds.

Excluding transportation fees, merchants made huge profits, so they had to collect taxes, a tax of one in twenty.

How many watermelon seeds can be produced from one acre of land? According to the current watermelon varieties, land area, fertilizer and care conditions, one acre can produce approximately fifty kilograms of seeds.

The one from Longyou Road is better, producing more than 70 kilograms of seeds.

Princess Yongmu obviously thought of the same question: "Is it cost-effective to plant watermelon seeds?"

"How should I put it? If you don't take care of it, you can earn fifty yuan for one purpose after deducting the cost. When growing wheat, one acre of land will produce one hundred twenty or thirty kilograms, which is about ten buckets of rice, and a bucket of rice will cost you twenty or thirty yuan."

Li Yi talked about the output and price, but he hasn’t said anything else yet.

"It's cost-effective to grow food." Xiaolan gave the answer by direct comparison.

"Xiaolan, I will ask you to go to the Gobi to plant wheat tomorrow. If you want to grow wheat and produce one stone per hour, you must take care of the fields every day.

I will equip you with heavy armor, a sword, a crossbow, and a bow. You can take care of it yourself. Plant ten acres first, and then..."

"No, no, I don't want it. I'm a girl. If I don't do it, I'll die." Xiaolan shook her head like a rattle.

"The wheat we eat only produces one stone per acre?" Princess Yongmu was thinking about the yield issue.

"We have good land here. One acre can produce two to three stones. Wheat cannot be grown in the Gobi Desert. It is not difficult to grow it.

The people who live there grow some vegetables and then herd sheep or goats to eat grass and dig roots.

When there is a heavy rain, if the number of sheep is not large, it will remain the same. "

During the Chinese New Year, Li Yi frowned when he talked about the people living in the Gobi area.

It's quite bitter there, and it's not very far from Jingzhao Mansion.

Those people raised sheep, but when they were about to sell them, they did not give them grass to eat. When they were sent to Chang'an, the sheep screamed with hunger.

Just like a pig farmer, you need to be hungry, otherwise you will be overfed and overweight.

In the eyes of others, it is a way of life, but in Li Yi's eyes, it is helplessness.

He considered the Tang Dynasty as a whole and the court. Some people were not living well, so he had to find a way.

Just like that story, two pairs of father and son saw a beggar.

The father of a son and his son said to his son that if you don't work hard, you will be like him in the future.

The father of another couple told his children that if you don't work hard, you won't be able to help them in the future.

Li Yi is now at the second level. He has to find a way to let more people live a good life.

I happened to see watermelon seeds today, so I wonder if we can let the locals try to grow them.

Provide seeds and methods by yourself, and the locals can increase their income and improve their living standards by working hard for ten days or half a month.

"How can you know that the floating life is just a piece of grass, time makes people old, wind, moon, flowers and birds, a smile is the fate of the world..."

The song was sung on the stage, and the "audience" sang along, and the sound suddenly became louder.

Li Yi suddenly stopped talking and clapped his hands to beat the rhythm.

Princess Yongmu blinked her big eyes, still not understanding why to raise goats, and then the number was that much.

She also didn't know how much per mu yield was. If you can't grow crops in the Gobi Desert, how can you grow vegetables?

After the song ended, the host came on stage to announce.

"Eat it, it's ready to eat, use a colander to scoop it out, the scallops will shrink too much if they are cooked for a long time, and the oysters will be cooked into residue."

Li Yi came back to his senses and used a small colander to scoop out the two seafood he had just put in.

He glanced at the empty plates in front of the two people and took a small bowl to scoop the seasoning.

Chili oil, garlic juice, ginger juice, cold noodle soup, sesame paste, beef sauce, soy sauce, aged vinegar, sugar, tofu, oyster sauce, chopped green onion and coriander. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

No chives were added because these seasonings were salty enough. If chives were added, more cold noodle soup would be needed.

"Come on, each person scoops two spoons. Salt is added to the dumplings this year. Don't dip them in soy sauce when eating. Just dip them in vinegar or eat them directly."

Li Yi scooped the seasoning he had mixed into his big plate and talked about dumplings.

"Are they boiled dumplings?" Princess Yongmu was greedy for dumplings. All the dumplings she ate were taken from Li's manor.

As for stuffing, Queen Wang didn't trust others. Li's manor had already wrapped them, so she quickly took them and sent them over.

Li's manor's dumplings were very lightly salted, so they were eaten with soy sauce.

There were still many people during the New Year, including captives. How could there be so many plates to use? Just add more salt.
