As Feng Qingxue was educating her younger sister and other children, the adults in the main hall were discussing recent events.
"I'll arrange for people tomorrow," Wang Zhengguo took a swig of his wine, "Taking advantage of the absence of rain and snow these two days, haul the manure first and spread it evenly over those two thousand acres of land. We will plant sweet potatoes in spring; they yield high and are drought-resistant. We'll also plant some economic crops such as cotton, peanuts, sunflowers, and beans. There are leftover seeds in the warehouse that have been well-preserved and usable. In this way, by next autumn, every household will be able to get some oil and cotton."
Having just food is not enough, as people also need clothes to wear.
Whether the farmers have cloth or oil depends on whether the production team has cultivated cotton and oil-producing crops or not.
