Supermarket Space: Traveling Through the Ages and Marrying a Rough Guy

Cassava is a perennial plant with no obvious maturity period. The maturity period mentioned in production refers to the period when the yield and starch content of the root tubers reach the best in a year.

Generally, cassava planted in spring can be harvested from November to January of the next year. The roots of cassava contain a lot of starch, and cassava is not resistant to storage. It will deteriorate and rot within three to seven days after harvesting.

So Song Xi didn't let people harvest all the cassava, but harvested part of it and taught everyone how to make cassava starch. Since there is no cassava grinder, and the crushing machine in the supermarket can't be used, so Stone mills are used manually to grind the washed and cut cassava into cassava pulp.

Then filter the cassava pulp with gauze to remove the residue, then put the cassava pulp in a bucket, let it settle overnight, pour off the water on it the next day, wash the wet cassava powder at the bottom, and then settle again, and wait for the precipitation to complete Pour off the water, then dig out the wet cassava powder underneath, put it on a dustpan lined with clean gauze to dry, and after drying, grind it into fine powder and store it.

The flour yield of cassava is not high. It is the first time to make cassava starch. It took a whole hundred catties of cassava to produce less than twenty catties of tapioca starch. This ratio is too bad. It is better to cook it directly. Cook it directly, one hundred catties of cassava should be enough for a family to eat for a few days, right?

But if you want to preserve cassava for a long time, you still have to use this method, because fresh cassava cannot be preserved for a long time, especially in this era, there is no good preservation method and technology at all.

Cassava is a crop that is easy to grow and has a high yield. In addition, there is Lingquan water here in Song Xi, so the yield of cassava is about to break through the limit. The yield per mu has exceeded 10,000 jin. It is said that the total output is about 100,000 catties.

In Ping'an Village, there are children who have reached the age of 16 and moved out to live alone, so there are almost 310 households in Ping'an Village, and each household needs 30,000 catties for 100 catties.

Qian Weimin arranged for people to dig out more than three acres of land first, distribute one hundred catties to each household, and slowly make tapioca starch from the rest. When there is nothing to eat, tapioca starch is a life-saving food.

Qian Weimin’s idea is good, but the weather is not beautiful. Qian Weimin went to the commune for a meeting. In autumn, locusts flooded some villages, and the crop production plummeted. Only 30% of the food was harvested. If it is not enough, naturally we cannot pay the public grain.

The captains of the commune, let the captains of the production teams help the villages affected by locusts to tide over the difficulties.

Qian Weimin remembered that after the locusts appeared, Song Xi immediately arranged for the students to use their extra-curricular time to catch the locusts. At that time, he didn't know why Song Xi did this. He only thought that Song Xi was paying the students wages in a different way. Ping'an Village Primary School made a lot of money relying on those two mountains and the three acres of sandy land.

Now he understands that Song Xi is preventing locust disasters, why is Song Xi so powerful? She is indeed the lucky star of Ping'an Village.

Everyone's production is not high these days, and the people in their own village can only get enough water, but now they have to dig out some food from their mouths to support others. All the brigade leaders are frowning, because they don't know what to do when they go back Open this mouth with everyone.

Qian Weimin also knew that showing off would easily lead to jealousy, so he didn't say anything immediately, but waited for everyone to leave with sad faces before he came to the commune leader and said in a low voice, "President, we in Ping'an Village happened to plant a plant this year. There are several acres of cassava, and the yield is not bad, we can bring out 5,000 catties of cassava to help everyone."

"Cassava is a crop that contains a small amount of toxins. Try not to eat it raw, let alone eat it in large quantities, otherwise it will cause poisoning. However, you can peel off the inner and outer skins of the cassava before eating, peel it off, cut it crosswise, and put it in a bucket Add clean water to soak, add as much clean water as possible, change the clean water every four hours, soak for 48 hours, and then you can cook. Or put it in a basket and put it directly in the river to soak, that’s also possible.”

"Soaked cassava can be boiled in sugar water, stir-fried or steamed."

The head of the commune widened his eyes in surprise after hearing Qian Weimin's words, but still raised his eyebrows in puzzlement, "Isn't cassava something from the south? Why did it come to our side?"

Qian Weimin explained, "Actually, cassava is widely distributed. There are cassava in many places in China. It just so happens that there are some wild ones on our mountain. The teacher in our village discovered it and dug it out for further research. Cultivated, and then more and more, developed into this."

The leader of the commune nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Don't you have tractors in your village? Then please ask Captain Qian to arrange for someone to deliver the cassava as soon as possible, so that I can distribute it to everyone as soon as possible."

"Also, since you have such talents in your village, you should cultivate them well. Don't be afraid of affecting your own status and suppress others. Otherwise, it will not only be a loss for your Ping'an Village, but also a loss for our entire commune." Commune The leader said seriously.

Because some people used to be afraid of being overtaken by the villagers under their hands, and suppressed the villagers in various ways. In the end, the villagers reported the unfair treatment to their superiors, otherwise he might not even die.

What leaders hate the most is this kind of person who uses power to oppress others.

"Yes." Qian Weimin nodded earnestly. He never thought of suppressing Song Xi, let alone being afraid that Song Xi's ability was superior to his own. He even wanted to train Song Xi to be the captain of the production team, but he could tell Well, Song Xi didn't want to come in front of people, she would rather come up with ideas behind her back than face so many troubles in front of her.

"By the way, go back and write down how to eat cassava, so that people who don't know how to eat cassava will poison themselves." The commune leader ordered.

After Qian Weimin went back, he immediately went to Ping'an Village Elementary School to talk to Song Xi about this matter. Song Xi supported Qian Weimin's approach. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable. If one party is in trouble, all parties support it. Everyone is united. Only then can we tide over the difficulties smoothly.

"By the way, Song Xi, there's already a lot of earthworm dung and Songta Village Headquarters. When are you going to come and deal with it?" Qian Weimin no longer regards Song Xi as his junior, but Treat it like a clan elder.

Song Xi nodded, "I'll take a few students there on weekends."

She plans to hand over the small workshop of fertilizer production to her students at that time. She herself doesn't want to wear several jobs, because she has no skills at all!

"But aren't weekends your rest time?" Qian Weimin also felt embarrassed to take up her only rest day of the week.
