After Kong Tianyou returned home, he didn't have much impact on the Yang family, but there was one less person in the family, and he competed with Yang Xuan for something to eat. In the past, Yang Yong and Yang Xuan grabbed something to eat, but later Kong Tianyou came to Yang's house, and Yang Yong automatically quit coming to this game. Now that Kong Tianyou is gone, Yang Yong, a big child, has grabbed Yang Xuan again. Watching the two brothers childishly grab vegetables to eat, Yang Yun was really angry and funny, but she also felt very warm, this may be a way for brothers and sisters to exchange feelings.

The nine rabbits raised by the Yang family are all very good, they look healthy, and there is no situation where the female rabbit eats cubs, and when it is a month, they will help the rabbits move the nest. After the last heavy rain, the plants in the wasteland have grown more luxuriantly, but fortunately there is no drought.

This morning, Yang Yun brought a small shovel and a vegetable basket, and went to the sweet potato field in the back mountain to see, the first acre of sweet potatoes planted has been planted for more than three months now, Yang Yun wants to dig a few to see how big the sweet potato fruit is. Sweet potatoes are planted and can be harvested in March to April.

Yang Yun went to the back mountain and carefully dug it with a small shovel, the first acre of sweet potatoes planted, and soon Yang Yun dug up several sweet potatoes. Yang Yun checked the freshly unearthed sweet potato, the fruit of the sweet potato was already quite large, and there were several sweet potatoes under a sweet potato, all of which were large and small, the big one was the size of an adult's fist, and the small one was the same as an egg. Yang Yun calculated the time, and in July, she could harvest the first sweet potatoes planted on this acre.

Yang Yun dug out more than 20 sweet potatoes, and then refilled the dug place and buried it, the sweet potatoes that had been dug up, Yang Yun wiped off some of the soil, and took the sweet potatoes home, and today the family can eat fresh boiled sweet potatoes. After Yang Yun went home, she washed the sweet potatoes and put them directly in the pot to boil them in water. After cooking some corn porridge at noon, stir-frying two vegetables, and serving freshly baked sweet potatoes, Yang Yun felt that this kind of life was actually quite satisfying.

Yang Yun also sent some to Uncle Li's family, when the two families said that they would plant sweet potatoes together, all Yang Yun went to dig sweet potatoes, and naturally the two families wanted to taste the newly unearthed sweet potatoes together.

"Grandpa, in the sweet potato field in the back mountain, the first mu of sweet potatoes planted can be harvested in July. If you try it, the sweet potatoes we grow must taste very good. Yang Yun picked the largest sweet potato for her grandfather. After Grandpa took it, he peeled off the skin, tasted it, and nodded to Yang Yun, the sweet potatoes grown by himself tasted really good. Grandma also praised sweet potatoes for being delicious.

Yang Yun took a sweet potato by herself, peeled it off and put it in her mouth, and took a big bite, it was really fragrant and delicious, the original food without chemical fertilizer pollution, the taste was different, and the aroma of sweet potatoes had a sweet taste. Some sweet potatoes are put for a long time, and the starch of sweet potatoes will be slowly converted into sugar, and those who like to eat sweeter potatoes can be put for a while before cooking.

"When the time comes, I will dig up the acre of sweet potatoes in July, and after the ground is vacated, I will pull out some sweet potato vines from the other four acres and replant them, and the second sweet potato planting will be just ready for harvest when winter comes." Grandpa was eating sweet potatoes while talking to Yang Yun about things in the field, after all, grandpa is a veteran of farming, and grandpa knows everything about the use of the field.

"Well, it's not wrong, so that the land will not be empty and wasted, and the two big pits on the right side of the mountain are full of fertilizer. Let's transport some fertilizer to fertilize the land first, and then replant sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes have enough fertilizer supply, not only will they grow more, but they will also be very large. "In those two big pits of manure, Yang Yun and Yang Yong poured some chicken manure and pig manure down from time to time. The organic fertilizer inside is already full.

"That's how it should be, you see the sweet potatoes you dug up, the yield is much better than the ones we planted before, the sweet potatoes planted before, the land is too barren, the size of the sweet potatoes grows small, and the yield is not much if you harvest an acre of land, except for the mother seed."

"As long as the sweet potatoes in the field can be supplied, the yield is very considerable, and our sweet potatoes can not only be eaten by people, but also fed to pigs. In the future, we will bring a few more piglets back to raise, and if we sell fat pigs at the end of the year, our family will be able to earn a lot of silver. Yang Yun thought that if she raised a few more pigs at home, she would not only be able to sell fat pigs to make money at the end of the year, but also have meat to eat.

"Now there is still half a month before July, the matter of raising pigs is temporarily forgotten, there are already two at home, which will be brought back to raise, and it will only be a few months at the end of the year, and it will not be sold at that time." Grandpa thinks that he will catch piglets and raise them again, and he will not be able to sell them at the end of the year.

Yang Yun is also in favor of raising pigs for the time being, for sweet potatoes, Yang Yun has other uses, Yang Yun still wants to make some money with sweet potato flour. And sweet potatoes can be made into a lot of different foods, at this time it is really not suitable to buy piglets back to raise, the more pigs are raised, the more sweet potatoes are eaten.

"Grandpa, I know, when the time comes, we will have more food in the field, so let's raise it again. Grandpa, why don't we buy a few more acres of land and come back to plant sweet potatoes. Yang Yun took the opportunity to mention the matter of buying land again. The eighty taels of silver, Yang Yun felt that it was a pity not to buy the land.

"Let's talk about buying land later." Grandpa didn't seem to be too anxious about buying land. Alas! Grandpa is not in a hurry, and Yang Yun is not good at saying anything, after all, the land is bought, it is grandpa who is planting, if their labor is limited, the land will not be able to be planted.

The weather in July is really hot, everyone is working early and late, the village people are not easy to go out at noon, Yang Yun is now doing things in the morning and evening, the weather is too hot, if heat stroke will be troublesome, there are already several families in the village who have heat stroke. Yang Yun is now very strict with Yang Xuan, and the time when he goes out to play.

Yang Xuan now goes to Kong Zhongkan's house to study in the morning, and only goes to Dr. Xu's house to study medicine in the afternoon. Kong Zhongkan has already agreed with Li Zheng that he will start teaching the children in the village in August. Yang Xuan is now studying in the Kong family, and he also has a companion with Kong Tianyou. Kong Zhongkan opened a school to teach in his own house, which actually belonged to his private school, not to the public teaching in the village. The school will not officially open until August.

When the Confucian family built the house, there was already a university hall for students, and there was a school in Kong Zhongkan's house, and there was no need to build another house in the village for the school. Running a private school is a good thing for Kong Zhongkan, because whether to attend classes or not, and how to attend classes, is up to Kong Zhongkan himself, and the village has no right to ask about his teaching methods.

Now the tables and chairs used by the students in the school are all built by Kong Zhongkan at his own expense, and the people in the village know that Kong Zhongkan wants to run a school, so they all take the initiative to help do some work. The student's restraint, Zhou Lizheng has already told the villagers, a quarter and three months is one hundred and fifty Wen. However, the class time is only in the morning, and Kong Zhongkan said that in the afternoon, students can arrange their own time and whether to go to the school to study. Kong Zhongkan also took into account that the children of the peasant family had to help with the work, so there was no restriction on whether they went to class in the afternoon.

Yang Yunyou told her family that Yang Yong and Yang Xuan would go to the school in the morning, Yang Xuan would go to Dr. Xu's house to study medicine in the afternoon, and Yang Yong would help the family work in the afternoon. Yang Yong was reluctant at first, wasting a morning's time, he felt that he could help his family and the field do a lot of work, Yang Yun told him that reading is just to be reasonable, to know the truth of life, and to know what is courtesy, righteousness and shame.

In the end, Yang Yong was persuaded by Yang Yun, saying that he would go to school in the morning and go home to work in the afternoon. Yang Yun still thinks the same way, and doesn't want his brother or younger brother to take the imperial examination, Yang Yun understands the unspoken rules of officialdom, even if he can rise to prominence, but the Yang family is thin, and there is no tough backstage, if you want to stand tall and stand firm in the officialdom, it is very difficult, and being an official is better than being a rich man.

This morning, Yang Yun went to the utility room and wanted to take two pickled radishes out to cook, and suddenly remembered that when she was in May, she pickled a jar of salted eggs, and now it has been more than a month, and it should be ready to eat. Yang Yun took out the jar containing salted eggs, opened the sealed lid, and took out five salted eggs from it. Looking at the appearance of the eggs, it should have been pickled for enough time, Yang Yun wiped the salt on the eggs back into the jar, took the eggs back to the kitchen, washed off the salt on them, and then cooked them like boiled eggs to eat with porridge.

"I have boiled eggs to eat today." When Yang Xuan got up for breakfast, he saw five hard-boiled eggs on the table, he quickly took one in his hand, knocked open the egg shell, and took the egg in his mouth and took a bite, only to find that the egg was so salty, and quickly spit it into the bowl.

Yang Yun happened to go to the kitchen to get a dish, and as soon as she returned to the house, she saw Yang Xuan spit out the eggs.

"Oops! I forgot to tell you, the eggs are the kind of salted eggs I pickled last month, and they have to be eaten with porridge, so you can't eat them directly like this. Yang Yun looked at Yang Xuan with some apologies, she really forgot to tell her family. Grandpa, they only cracked the shell of the egg just now, and before they could eat it in their mouths, Yang Xuan's stinky boy moved the fastest.

"Sister, why didn't you say it earlier, it made me eat so salty."

"You little fool, who made you move so fast, you see brother they have just cracked the eggs, and you have already bitten them in your mouth. It's okay, my sister will serve you a bowl of porridge, and you can eat it with pickled eggs. Yang Yun served a bowl of porridge to Yang Xuan with salted eggs.

"Sister, this salted egg with porridge is quite fragrant, especially the egg yolk in it, it will flow butter." Yang Yong ate salted eggs and thought it tasted good.

"Uh-huh, the egg yolk is delicious, it's really fragrant, sister, I still want to eat it." Yang Xuan's own egg yolk had already been eaten, and he was about to drool when he looked at Yang Yun's salted eggs. Yang Yun looked at Yang Xuan with some doting, and dug up her egg yolk to Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan wanted to go to Kong Tianyou's house to study for breakfast, Yang Yun went to the utility room, took out twenty salted eggs, and asked Yang Xuan to bring ten to Kong Zhongkan and ten to Dr. Xu's house. Explain to Yang Xuan and Doctor Xu that they can eat it directly by boiling it with porridge, and these salted eggs can be left for a few days, not afraid that they will spoil. Yang Yun watched Yang Xuan walk away from the courtyard gate before walking back into the house. (To be continued.) )
