As soon as this idea came out, as they had originally imagined, people who had other ways out would not come over, and those who came over were really unable to do so, so they came to survive.

This can not only help people who really need help, but also eliminate some people who just want to be cheap but not work, and there is no need to make excuses to refuse to "borrow food".

Do you want to borrow food?

OK, come here to work, just work, all three meals are included.

What, just want to borrow food, not work?

I'm sorry, there are so many people working on hungry in our village. I want to give you the food, so what should they do?

The growth cycle of sweet potatoes is generally 3-4 months, and it is usually only in May. However, due to the drought last year, Lijia Village could not wait for that time, and started to work after falling from the mountain, nearly two months in advance.

Of course, they did not grow them all at once so long, but planted them in batches.

Part two months in advance, part one and a half months in advance, part one and a month in advance, part one and a half months in advance...

In this way, there will be harvesting every few days. If you harvest a little earlier or later, the impact will not be great. The key is to be able to fill your stomach.

Because it is planted in advance, it is necessary to prevent cold. In addition to finding ways to build hay and increase the temperature of the wood ash, it will also find ways to burn fires next to the land, pull around and block them, and try every means to make the temperature in the ground higher.

Bian Pingling told them that if it is an ideal state, it is necessary to build a heat-insulated house for these lands. When there is sun, open the roof and bask in the sun; when there is no sun, burn the fire to increase the outdoor temperature (it would be better if there is a roof that is airtight but light-transmissive).

Everyone said she was whimsical, but even though she couldn't build such a house, they would start to start to think of ways to make the land she was responsible for "warm".

Sweet potatoes are drought-resistant and like sunlight. Their growth temperature should generally be above 10 degrees. Although they are planted early, they are prone to reduce yields, but for Lijia Village, which is waiting for it to save their lives at this time, as long as they can be harvested.

It’s okay to spend this time and wait until the next batch of harvests.

Compared with sweet potatoes, potatoes prefer relatively cool and low temperatures. They are usually sown in March or September. When the average weather temperature exceeds 25 degrees, they will stop growing.

The ripening cycle is similar to sweet potatoes, and it is about three months.

Therefore, compared with sweet potatoes, potatoes adapt better.

When the first batch of potatoes were harvested, the group was happy like something.

"Class leader, look, the potatoes have grown."

"It's really grown, it's grown, we have something to eat."

"Hahahaha...we have something to eat!"

"It just seems to be a little too small, and it feels like it is not as big as the sweet potato."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big man next to him slapped him: "It's good to eat, what else do you want? The sweet potatoes there are dug out, some are not as big as this one."

"That's it's good to grow something that can fill your stomach this season. Don't always think so much. If it's so easy to do, we won't go hungry."

"Look at other villages and then look at our Lijia Village. Do you feel very happy? So, you shouldn't be too greedy."

Because the land was planted one after another, and when harvesting, everyone did not rush to collect all the potatoes and sweet potatoes, but instead harvested the earliest land.

One acre of land can be collected, but it is a little smaller, and it is not enough to fill your stomach in each household. But it’s okay, add some wild vegetables, eggs, kill rabbits, etc., and mix them into a big pot. You can get half full of it.

Compared with other villages, even sweet potatoes are so thin that they can see the bottom of the bowl. At least they are still muddy and can still see meat. I wonder what those people have become envious.

"Old Li, you still have a vision. Look, your Lijia Village has started to harvest." The leader Chen next door heard the news and came to see their harvest, bursts of envy.

Their Chenjia Village moves a little late, and if they want to collect, they have to wait half a month.

"You are too soon, why are you anxious? If you plant things in the ground, can they still run away? If it really doesn't work, just collect half an acre in advance. If it's a little smaller, hold on first. Anyway, everyone doesn't want to fill their stomachs with this, as long as they don't starve to death." When Chief Li heard what he said, he was afraid that the other party would ask for money to borrow food.

In the first harvest of Lijia Village in ten miles, it sounds nice, but God knows that the sweet potatoes and potatoes they harvest are so small that some of them are not as painful as eggs.

No matter how much I feel sorry for, I can’t let everyone work hungry, right?

Cultivate and plant.

There is not so much grain planting for potatoes, there is no way, but sweet potatoes are different. You can pinch them as long as there are seedlings, regardless of whether they will reduce their yields at that time. Anyway, as long as they are planted, they will be able to harvest them.

Bian Pingling said that even if the sweet potatoes under the ground cannot grow, the vines on them can be taken out to feed them to pigs.

Yes, that's right.

Seeing the chickens in the village and the rabbits had already been on the table, everyone who was greedy for meat had already started to think of pigs.

As long as there are piglets, they will definitely be able to raise them.

When they collected sweet potatoes, except for the broken part, the sweet potato leaves and the tender vines were all stabilized and put them in the basket as vegetables. As for the kind that was so old that they could not pinch or bite, they also collected them together and found an open space to dry them.

The dried sweet potato vines can also be boiled into pig food with water. Although they don’t have pigs yet, they must not be prepared, right?

As long as you dare to think about it, you will definitely raise it in the future.

In the past, when Lijia Village was poor, it was normal for each family to live in their own family. But it was different now. Now the whole village is working together, even chickens and rabbits can be raised together. Are you still afraid that you can't raise a pig together?

Well, one pig is not enough, it takes three or five to raise it to be enough.

"Oh... even if you don't starve to death, you have to have something to eat." Chief Chen sighed, "Now there is no food in most villages. When I first came in from the gate of your Lijia Village, I saw many new faces, all from nearby villages, right? They were all thin and almost skinny. You can see at a glance that they are different from the people before."

They followed Lijia Village. Although the conditions were not as good as Lijia Village, they still had a foundation to see, but Bianjia Village next door was not so lucky.

He just heard that the village there was no food left, and many families either found ways to "borrow grain" from their relatives' homes, or guarded their own land that could not be harvested, for fear that someone would dig it up, and that people would really starve to death by then.

"Oh..." Village Chief Li sighed, "Do you think I want to recruit? We can't fill our stomachs, so how can we still have so much food for others? But there is no way. Everyone is from the village, and we can't watch the people in all the villages starve to death, right? There is no way, so we can only add more water to the pot, make it thinner, and even a few more bowls..."
