Mei Xueyan had a rare leisurely life until late autumn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mei Xueyan and Lin Sanlang couldn't drag it out any longer, Lin Sanlang was going to the capital to receive the position, and Mei Xueyan wanted to personally present the "auspicious" tribute to the emperor and the queen mother.

On this day, Wu County Commander wore the official mansion, the black gauze hat was neatly worn, and led all the officials of the county government to Mei Xueyan's small courtyard together, I don't know what important thing they thought they had, everyone looked solemn, it is said that Wu County Commander had ordered before that he must bathe at home and burn incense and change clothes before he can come.

So these people are all clean one by one, in fact, they are just digging sweet potatoes, Mei Xueyan can't cry or laugh.

"Can you do it?"

Mei Xueyan waited impatiently, so she asked.

Everyone stood around the courtyard, looking at the two small vegetable beds in the center, while Wu Xianling stood in the center and looked up at the sky.

"The auspicious time has come! Please auspicious unearthed! Wu County Ling said loudly.

Mei Xueyan was helpless, what is this, it can be seen that Wu Xianling's expression is dignified and serious, so he can only go with him.

However, Wu Xianling found a problem.

"Is Xiangrui really mature?" Wu Xianling asked cautiously.

"Count the days, it should be ripe, and you will know if you dig one out."

Mei Xueyan is not a peasant woman, and she has never grown sweet potatoes herself, so she can only speculate theoretically.

Wu Xianling nodded expressionlessly, it can be seen that he is very nervous, the hand holding the hoe is a little trembling, Wu Xianling raised the hoe, it didn't fall for a while, and retracted again.

"How are you going to dig it?"

At this time, Wu Xianling realized that he didn't know how Xiangrui grew on the ground, and he didn't dare to start for a while.

"Just go down with a hoe!"

Wu Xianling shook his head and said: "You know, it's better for you to come, not to mention that you are the one who brings auspiciousness, and it should be up to you to take action." ”

"Okay."

Mei Xueyan took the hoe happily, loosened the soil under the sweet potato roots, and then held the vine of the whole sweet potato, and pulled it up, the sweet potato was originally very deep, but because it was carefully cared for, the soil was loosened from time to time, so the soil was not compact, and Mei Xueyan hoeed and loosened the soil before pulling it out, and under the force, it was directly uprooted in a string.

Wu County Ling and the officials all stretched their necks to look, Wu County Ling's expression was even more interesting, his face was full of worry and expectation, his face was blue, and when Mei Xueyan pulled the sweet potato, it was like pulling his flesh, and his face was distorted in distress.

"It's done!"

I saw a bunch of sweet potatoes hanging like a gourd on the sweet potato vine, the big Lin Saburo couldn't hold it with both hands, and the small one was the size of a child's fist, adding up to an estimated three or four catties.

“……”

Wu Xianling wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it because he was excited, and he opened his mouth as if he had been pointed.

"A vine has three or four catties, and these two small vegetable furrows are planted with hundreds of plants, which is equal to three or four hundred catties, and that one acre of land is ......."

Someone is quickly calculating, it is the deputy chief bookkeeper of Mei Xueyan when she was in the county government before, Mr. Zou, and now he is the chief bookkeeper of the county government.

"What a blessing!"

"That's it, God bless me Jingguo!"

"Hahaha, our people don't have to suffer from hunger and cold anymore!"

The people rejoiced, and all rejoiced in this good thing, which was good for all the people.

"Huh? Here are two sweet potatoes with broken roots and not being pulled out. ”

I saw Mei Xueyan fiddling with the soil and taking out two large sweet potatoes, everyone gasped, one sweet potato was already more than four catties!

Wu Xian Ling suddenly laughed loudly at Tianlang, laughing and laughing but kneeling on the ground and crying.

"If there had been this auspicious season, my relatives would not have starved to death......

Mei Xueyan heard Mrs. Xian Ling say that when Wu Xianling was a teenager, he once experienced a drought, because there was no food, his family was starved to death, maybe he only heard others say how terrible it was to starve to death, and he couldn't really understand it, but Wu Xianling had experienced it personally, and he knew how terrible and terrible the famine was.

Under the famine, people can lose their minds, lose their morality, lose their ethics, nothing exists, as long as they can live, anything can be done, and it is not a joke that Yi Zi eats food.

Wu Xianling cried with joy and thought of his relatives who had starved to death.

Everyone dug out the remaining sweet potatoes and harvested several baskets, Wu Xianling looked at this basket as if he saw the child he had born, and the basket was touched like a treasure.

Mei Xueyan estimated that these two pieces of land were taken care of by many people, and even Wu County's order sometimes came to catch insects and fertilize, and the growth was expected, if it was placed on ordinary land, the yield should be lower.

Of course, sweet potatoes are drought-tolerant and poverty-tolerant crops, and some farmers plant them on the slopes of the mountains, and they can harvest a lot, otherwise those wouldn't have grown sweet potatoes on the infertile land overseas.

The final result is undoubtedly better, and even the yield exceeded Mei Xueyan's expectations, and the yield per mu even reached nearly 100 stones.

Originally, the prefectural order had been prepared for the winter when there was no food, and some people would starve to death, so basically this situation would not occur.

Mei Xueyan also knows that sweet potatoes are at most coarse grains, which are good for the body, but everything can not be eaten more, and she does not encourage the fields to be planted with sweet potatoes in the coming year, but every household can plant some, because sweet potatoes are indeed sweet and taste good at ordinary times.

The carriage into Beijing was filled with two baskets of sweet potatoes, which were carefully selected by Wu County, all of which were selected by Wu County, and they were all large and regular in shape.

Naturally, along with Mei Xueyan, there is Lin Sanlang, who has already been ordered and has been appointed as the deputy general of the Chiyan Army.

From the Lu family, Mei Xueyan learned that her father, whom she had never met, joined the army, and initially formed some stragglers, but defeated the iron cavalry of the Liao, and the newly built army was the predecessor of the current Chiyan Army.

To say that fate is too wonderful, the founder of the Chiyan Army is Mei Xueyan's father, and her husband is now the deputy general of the Chiyan Army.

On the carriage into Beijing, there was Feng Qiumo's grandson Feng Zichen, Mei Xueyan asked him if he wanted to go to the capital with her, Feng Zichen's answer was that his grandfather was from the capital, so he wanted to go back to the capital for his grandfather.

A group of three people, sitting in a spacious and comfortable carriage, headed for the capital.
