Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 36 Sold out, small profit

These sweet potatoes were grown by my grandmother herself, in the vegetable garden in front of the house. There were not many, just a small patch, but they grew very well.

A few days ago, Li Xiang went into the mountains to dig Polygonatum sibiricum. Grandma was alone at home, so she dug up the sweet potato field and harvested about two hundred kilograms, which are now piled in the old kitchen.

When the weather gets colder, Li Xiang will dig a cellar and hide the sweet potatoes, otherwise they will freeze.

When the sweet potato vines are lush, the vines are also a vegetable, very refreshing and Li Xiang’s favorite.

Roasted sweet potatoes are a rare delicacy.

The roasted sweet potatoes sold in big cities are extremely expensive, and they don’t have this kind of fragrance and sweetness.

Li Xiang’s organic sweet potatoes are soft, sticky, golden, translucent, sweet and tempting after being baked.

"Grandma, eat it!" Li Xiang was very filial and handed the first sweet potato to his grandmother, "Be careful, it's hot!"

However, this kind of baked sweet potato is best eaten while hot.

The second and third ones were thrown into the dog bowl. Dahuang and Erhuang had been waiting by the side, drooling.

The fourth and fifth ones belong to Li Xiang.

Since the sweet potatoes were too big, grandma gave the leftovers to Da Huang. Da Huang ate them the fastest, so when Er Huang was still eating, it just watched.

Li Xiang naturally would not forget the cat.

He broke off a small piece, walked into the house and put it in the cat bowl. The old cat smelled the fragrance and crawled out immediately.

The cat in Li Xiang's family has plenty of fish to eat every day, but eating some sweet potatoes is also very good for the cat's health.

Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins, dietary fiber and minerals, which help improve cats' immunity, promote gastrointestinal motility, and improve constipation and other problems.

Pet cats in the city suffer from hairballs blocking their stomachs and urinary retention, but cats in rural areas basically do not have these problems.

Of course, Li Xiang only feeds the old cat, and the kittens are currently mainly drinking milk.

Kittens' gastrointestinal tract is not fully developed, so eating sweet potatoes at this time may cause indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. How could Li Xiang, who even picks out fish bones from the cat's bowl, feed the little ones anything he wants?
The five little ones still play in the cat's nest every day. Fortunately, the loving cat's nest made by Li Xiang is big enough, otherwise, it would be so crowded for the mother cat and her five children.

It’s not that they don’t want to come out, but that the little guys are too young and the “threshold” of the cat’s nest is too high, so they can’t climb out. Even if they finally “escape” outside, they will be taken back by the mother cat in time.

This old cat takes very close care of her children.

Because Xiaobai has "huge potential", when Li Xiang went to see the kittens again, he didn't feel so sad when he saw Xiaobai being bullied. Instead, he felt that this might be a "training" for it.

If these "temperings" are lacking, perhaps one will not be able to become a talent?
"When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry...The same goes for kittens." Li Xiang sighed.

Li Xiang felt sympathy for the naughty cow cat: You are so awesome now, but in the future you will be no match for your brothers who are often bullied by you.

All I can say is that every cat has its own destiny.

Li Xiang decided to wait until the kittens grew up a little and could tell the genders, then sell the cow cat and the orange cat at the market, or exchange them with people for a few "mates". There must be male and female cats among these cats. If they were all kept together, the cats would have no ethics and would definitely mess around. Li Xiang was also considering their reproduction.

The scenes of Li Xiang steaming Polygonatum odoratum, roasting sweet potatoes, and feeding dogs and cats at night were naturally filmed and edited into the video.

Once the video was released, it received over 10,000 likes and thousands of comments within a day.

I have to say that although he only has 70,000 to 80,000 fans, his fan base is very strong. Since he has good character, and his products are of good quality and low price, and genuine, there are quite a lot of people who repurchase his products.

The "nine-steamed and nine-dried" Polygonatum odoratum had not yet completed all the processes, but fans began to place reservations one after another.

The main thing is that this thing is really good. Its main effects and functions are to enhance immunity, regulate qi and blood, and nourish the kidneys and replenish essence.

In particular, it nourishes the kidneys and replenishes essence. The detailed explanation is that it nourishes the kidneys and can relieve the symptoms of dizziness, headaches, premature graying of hair, soreness of the waist and knees, and general weakness caused by kidney deficiency.

In addition, it has the effects and functions of tonifying the spleen, replenishing qi, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs.

Other selling points may not be powerful enough, but treating kidney deficiency is really attractive.

Nowadays, everyone is in sub-health, especially middle-aged men over 40 years old. Their sexual function is declining and they are unable to do what they want. Therefore, when Li Xiang launched this "good medicine", everyone was very enthusiastic.

Nine-steaming and nine-drying, which requires nine days and nights, is a method of preparing medicinal materials.

After nine steamings and nine dryings, Polygonatum sibiricum becomes sweet, warm in nature, soft in texture, and rich in oil, which eliminates its irritation (eating raw Polygonatum sibiricum will make the tongue numb and the throat uncomfortable), extends the storage time, and most importantly, can enhance the effects of strengthening yang, replenishing qi, fighting anemia, and improving immunity.

Li Xiang steamed at night so that he could get the sun during the day. And it was especially warm to roast by the fire at night, but sometimes the wind was a bit strong, so he decided to build another kitchen to protect against cold and wind, specifically for use in autumn and winter.

The original kitchen was open and its "walls" were made of bamboo, making it suitable for use in summer.

Li Xiang now has some money and can afford bricks, tiles and cement, so he has the financial ability to build a spacious kitchen.

However, there is no time for now, as we need to wait for the “nine steaming and nine drying” process of Polygonatum to be completed.

Time passed quickly. After careful selection, Li Xiang had collected 95 kilograms of fresh wild Polygonatum sibiricum, steamed them in large steamers every night and dried them during the day. After nine nights and nine days, he had obtained a total of about kilograms of high-quality dried goods.

Li Xiang's quoted price is 480 yuan per kilogram, which is cheaper than the market price, as a way of giving back to fans.

His fans were also very supportive. They had already placed orders when he was filming the video and had almost ordered enough of the goods. After the goods were completed, they started a live broadcast to sell them, and they were sold out in an hour.

The total amount was more than 45000 yuan, which is not a lot, but for Li Xiang who only worked hard for ten days, it was a good deal, equivalent to four or five thousand yuan a day.

Li Xiang now has about 10 yuan in cash, so he can have a good Chinese New Year this year.

"Thank you fans, thank you friends!" Li Xiang expressed his gratitude repeatedly during the live broadcast. People gave him face, so would it be justified if he didn't even say "thank you"?

The autumn wind became bleak, and Li Xiang went to the city to buy some winter clothes for himself and his grandmother. He also bought some snacks that girls like, such as chocolate, plums, spicy strips, potato chips, yogurt, melon seeds, biscuits, jelly, etc., because it was November and Jiang Caier's month-long vacation was coming and she would be back soon.
