Chapter 231: Harvest
"Really, grandma looks at it, but the yield is really high?" Jia Lu was so excited that her voice was a little strange, and Daiyu looked at her suspiciously.
Grandma Liu nodded confidently,
"Yes, I don't dare to say anything else, this sweet potato will be harvested in another month, and it can be harvested at this time, otherwise I wouldn't dare to open this mouth to the girl!"
Jia Lu walked a few steps excitedly, the gardener who took care of the sweet potatoes was originally a person in the flower house of Ningfu, and he took care of all the precious things, plus he valued it, but he was not sure what the output was, he was still worried, and Grandma Liu's words seemed to give her a reassuring pill.
"Girl, isn't it worth it?" asked Grandma Liu.
"Absolutely. Immediately, Jia Lu shouted, "Mo Ran, go and call Tian San to come over!"
Ink Dye was waiting outside, and he went out.
Jia Lu said to Grandma Liu,
"Tian San is the one who takes care of the sweet potato, he has taken care of it for so long, he has some experience, the two of you discuss it, but if he says anything that is not accurate, I also bother you to point it out, after all, he has only seen flowers and plants, and has never planted crops, and in some aspects he is not as good as your farmer!"
Grandma Liu hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, girl, I see that the sweet potatoes are growing very well, and he takes care of them with all his heart." ”
Mo Dye replied outside, "Girl, Tian San is here!"
Grandma Liu ran out when she heard this, and Jia Lu also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Daiyu, Daiyu said,
"You tell me clearly, what is that sweet potato? Don't say it's a faint talk of honoring the old lady, as the saying goes, scarcity is precious, but all filial piety to the elders is chosen from the noble, like what kind of ginseng bird's nest, the precious one has always been a small amount, and the large yield is obtained by everyone, and such a thing is cheaper, how can this thing be honored to the old lady?"
Jia Lu's eyes rolled and said,
"Who said that the large amount is lowly, like rice and wheat are also large, and I don't see those nobles who eat less rice and pasta because of this, as long as the taste is good, what difference is there?"
Daiyu tugged at her and said, "You're fooling me again, look at your careful service, find a gardener to serve the grain, could it be that you have really eaten this thing?"
Jia Lu nodded and said, "I've eaten it, it's soft and glutinous and sweet." "I did eat it, but in a previous life.
Daiyu looked at her with a determined look, half-convinced.
At this time, Grandma Liu came back, and Daiyu didn't want to ask in detail, so she sent Grandma Liu out.
The next day, Grandma Liu proposed to say goodbye, and everyone in the house packed some things to send her.
I heard that Grandma Liu's family also has a little granddaughter called Qing'er, Jia Lu and Daiyu also packed some old clothes, Daiyu also looked at Ban'er's age and figure and packed some of Lin Rui's childhood clothes, sent them over, sealed a small bag of silver ankles, worried that Grandma would not accept it, quietly stuffed it into the clothes, and instructed Ban'er to study hard and other words, and asked Zijuan to send it over on his behalf.
Zijuan came back and said, saying that Wang Xifeng asked Grandma Liu to name the eldest sister, calling it Sister Qiao'er, everyone was surprised when they heard it, and Mama Li also said that it was strange.
"How could someone like Grandma Lian think of asking Grandma Liu to name her?"
Jia Lu didn't care, "What's impossible about this, it's all a mother's heart!"
Jia Lu's mind at this time is not on anything else, all of them are on the sweet potatoes that he is about to harvest, after the judgment of Tian San and Grandma Liu, it was decided to put the harvest time in a month later, Jia Lu counted the days with his fingers every day and finally waited for the time.
On this day, God is powerful, it is just the right sunshine, the autumn is high and cool, and the baby sweet potatoes planted by the four girls are about to be harvested, and the news spreads in the Grand View Garden.
There is nothing to do in the garden, but all the trivial things can be spread all over the yard, not to mention the so-called sweet potatoes planted by the noble girl, which is not a famous flower, and it is not special, it is said that it still grows in the mud.
The people's minds are not as good as caring about him for the time being, Jia Baoyu and the sisters felt strange, and they also came to Nuanxiangwu to take a look at Jia Lu's harvest.
"Let's dig up!" Jia Lu commanded.
Two or three people who looked like little maids dug sweet potatoes in front of a group of girls and young masters, and a few of them used hoes, but then the masters were nervous, afraid of breaking things, so they dug with their hands.
"Yo, there's something coming out, it's one!"
"Two of them!"
......
"There are three baskets of these! These things are one by one, look at the few, I didn't expect there to be so many!"
"This must be seventy or eighty pounds, right?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that, this thing is no better than other falling hands!"
A few small people who turned the ground were busy sweating and raining, and the people on the side were talking about this peculiar sweet potato, Baoyu looked curious, and took out a sweet potato from the basket casually, and held it with one hand, looking at it about the same weight as the inkstone, but after a while, the hand fell and hurt, so he could only put it down and stain the mud on one hand.
Tanchun looked at the dirty ball-like thing covered with dirt, leaned over to Jia Lu, and asked worriedly,
"Fourth sister, you're so dirty, but can you really eat it?
Jia Lu affirmed, "If you can eat it, you can eat it by peeling off the skin on the outside!"
Baochai is used to being a family at home, compared to the sisters who have been living in the garden, she has more vision and ideas, she calculated carefully, the biggest ability of this sweet potato is to think of this yield rather than taste, there are many people outside the house who are hungry, as long as they can eat, they make a lot of money, and they want to mix in this business, so they help to say,
"The third sister doesn't know, there is a famous dish called flower chicken in Changshu in the south, the chicken is wrapped in mud and roasted in the ground, and after the mud is pulled out, it is a delicacy that everyone is eager to eat. ”
"Okay, okay!" the little guy turned over the ground a few times, but he couldn't find the sweet potatoes.
Jia Lu didn't care about talking to others, and was busy organizing people to weigh out the three baskets of things, looking at them baskets and baskets of goods, Jia Lu's mood can be said to be excited and nervous, looking at the output is a lot, but I don't know the result or I can't rest assured.
"Back to the girl, there is about one stone of sweet potatoes. ”
"Great!" Jia Lu jumped for joy.
"There's one stone, and it's a lot!"
"It's not much, usually an acre of wheat costs two stones, this sweet potato has been carefully taken care of for so long, only one stone is not much!"
......
Jia Baoyu didn't know anything about farming, and he was a little puzzled when he listened to the discussion of his subordinates, so he grabbed Jia Lu, who was jumping happily, and asked,
"Fourth sister, do you have a lot of stones?"
Jia Lu blushed, too excited, and said,
"Of course it's a lot, when I got it back, it was a total of three half-dead vine seedlings, and it was only a long time, and there was a stone yield, if you add the Zhuangzi, there should be two stones, which is comparable to the general intensively cultivated wheat!"
