Chapter 208 Borrowing Ice

  No matter what the villagers think, this matter is settled, although the profit is much less, but there is still work to do, so the villagers are not too depressed.

   Finally, Gu Chengrui told Father Gu and Uncle Gu about the arrest of Qiao Lansheng. If they want to run the ship, they can start.

   At least no one specifically targets them.

   In the next two weeks, Zhou Ying took advantage of the opportunity to transport soybeans and mung beans, and successively took 5,000 catties of 80 powder from the space and put them in the warehouse of the restaurant.

  The long-skilled workers in Zhuangzi also prepared 10,000 catties of black noodles, and a boatload of bran and bean curd for the cattle and sheep should be enough for the cattle and sheep to eat for the first half of the year.

   At the same time, the eighty percent of the land at home allowed them to plant all sweet potatoes. In the future, if they want to promote the seeds with all their strength, there must be a source.

   In the blink of an eye, it was the wheat harvest season. Sure enough, the yield of wheat was still reduced, but what Zhou Ying did not expect was that an acre yielded only about 70 kilograms, and even if there was little top dressing, it was just enough for seeds.

   This also made her deeply aware of the hard work of farmers now, so the price of food is still cheap.

  After the wheat was harvested, people then planted autumn crops.

The next step is to harvest peppers. Although the output is much worse than expected, one mu of land has yielded five or six hundred catties. Zhou Ying received it at the price of five cents per catty, and the income of one mu of land is also at the top three. Four acres of wheat income.

   So, someone planted another season of peppers despite Zhou Ying's dissuasion.

   But no matter what, the next situation is not optimistic.

  Because there was only one rain after the year, the drought was severe everywhere, and the water level in the river was also plummeting. If it wasn't for a waterwheel hitting the ground, the water wouldn't even be able to be poured.

   Zhou Ying saw this. After harvesting in the space this time, she planted all the dry land with sweet potatoes, and planted peppers on the edge of the land. Of course, she still set aside ten acres of land to grow vegetables.

   At the same time, after the sweet potatoes planted in the grasslands were also mature, she dug a large part and put them in the warehouse.

   It's so hot every day, there is no one in the restaurant at lunch time.

   Zhou Ying made some ice with saltpeter, then froze some clean crushed ice, put a piece of watermelon and half a cup of milk, and ate it beautifully.

Shopkeeper Liu rushed in and asked anxiously, "Girl Zhou, do you still have ice here?"

After    finished speaking, he looked at the ice product in her hand, stunned for a moment and said, "What are you eating?"

   "I made my own ice cream, do I want you to have a cup?" Zhou Ying asked in a stunned moment.

   "Then I'm welcome. It's a hot day and people really don't want to get out of the water." Shopkeeper Liu looked at the cold ice bowl, and finally couldn't help but nodded in response.

   "Then wait a moment, I'll make a new bowl for you." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen, and after a while, she made a bowl and handed it to him.

   Shopkeeper Liu was not polite either. He immediately picked up the spoon on the side and lifted it up. After taking a sip, he took a deep breath and said, "It's cool, it's cool from the inside out, you'll really enjoy it."

As soon as his heart cooled down, he also thought of the purpose of coming here, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, do you still have a lot of ice here, can you spread it out for me, on this hot day, the chickens just killed in the morning will turn sour at noon. already."

   "No, the ice in the ice cellar is not dry, otherwise the meat in it will be completely ruined.

   But I can tell you how to treat ice. "

   "Zhibing?" Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment, then looked at her in astonishment.

   "Hurry up and eat, and I'll teach you after eating." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she lowered her head and started eating, otherwise her ice cream would have melted.

   Shopkeeper Liu was curious when he heard it, but he still lowered his head and started to eat.
