Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ming Zhiyan had finished listening and had memorized everything Jian Qingqing had said, she asked, “What if we make it into flour? Do we grind it into powder like flour?”

“Yes…” Jian Qingqing pondered for a moment. She knew that corn was dried and ground into powder, and sweet potatoes seemed to be the same. When she was watching the video, she had seen people making potatoes by hand and directly crushing them into juice. Then, the powder can naturally settle down. After it was dried, it would be potato starch. She just did not know if there were any other good methods.

She told him all the methods of making the three crops. “Sweet potatoes and corn are both dried and ground into powder. For potatoes, they are ground into powder and then let it settle down. What settles down is potato starch. It should be enough to dry it under the sun.”

It did not sound difficult. Ming Zhiyan heaved a sigh of relief. However, this time, it was the high-yield grain from Shifeng County that could not be eaten directly. He still had to keep it and give it to the people of other places. After next year, when all the people of Great Wei had planted it, everyone would be able to eat the high-yield grain.

He looked at Jian Qingqing and said gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Jian, for everything you have done for the people of Great Wei. I have already told the emperor about these things. The rewards should be coming soon.”

Jian Qingqing asked curiously, “Brother Ming, do you know what the rewards will be?”

Would it be like the gold and silver treasures on TV moving in one by one? Then she would be rich by then! If these things were to be passed down for hundreds of years, they could still be considered antiques.

Looking at her money-grubber look, Ming Zhiyan smiled and did not say what the rewards would be. “Miss Jian will know when the time comes, but it will definitely not be too little.”

Jian Qingqing was relieved. “That’s good.”

Although she did not care about the reward, she had done so much, and the reward represented the extent to which she was valued, she did not want to work so hard for so long and be dismissed so easily. This would make her so angry that she would vomit blood.

After collecting the grain, the pigs that had been raised for almost a year could be sold.

Jian Qingqing first slaughtered five of them and divided them among the villagers. After all, they had contributed to raising the pigs this year. The rest were all rushed to the factory.

The first few batches of cured chickens had already been bought by Ming Zhiyanan. Together with the stewed eggs, they were transported to the border defense. Therefore, Jian Qingqing had already made a return on the money invested in the chicken farm and factory. She had even made a small profit, now, she was just waiting for this batch of pigs to come out of the market. As for the pigs, Jian Qingqing did not intend to make all of them into preserved meat. She would dry some of them and make them into preserved meat. This way, she could eat them directly without having to cook them again. There was also a portion that was made into sausage.

There were many ways to process pork. However, she still preferred to eat preserved meat. Preserved meat was also very delicious as a snack, so she had people make most of the meat into preserved meat.

She swore that it was not because she wanted to eat it, but because she had learned that at the border. Some soldiers needed to go out and patrol for a whole day. At that time, they would not have time to cook, and it was not easy to make a fire to cook during a war, it was not convenient to cook on the go. Sometimes, they ate raw food, so it was most convenient to make the meat into ready-to-eat. The preserved meat was baked and dried, so it could be taken out and eaten at any time, the energy was also great, and it took less time to cook than the cured meat.

The cured meat would take at least one to two months to dry, and the dried meat would be dried in a day. It was very convenient, so Jian Qingqing ordered people to make most of the dried meat. After this batch of dried meat was made, it was quickly transported to the border..
