Chapter 169: Production

Xiao Yu next to him took a look, it looked like a small piece of gold, but perhaps because of the age, he could hardly see the original color and appearance.

Digging a sweet potato can dig up gold, and this man's luck is also good.

Wait a minute.

Xiao Yu suddenly cheered up: "Isn't there a treasure under this sweet potato?" Why don't you dig down and try it? ”

Ling Yi and Zhong Lang were speechless.

Xiao Yucheng said with a smile: "It's not uncommon to dig out a small piece of gold, there may not be treasures, right?" ”

Although it is said that the area around South Vietnam was very rich in the past, and there were many treasures left behind, so there are often people here who inadvertently dig up some treasures when building houses or digging in the soil, but it is not so much that there are treasures when they dig up at will.

It's just a small piece of gold, and it's too unconvincing to think that there is a treasure.

Xiao Yu thought about it for a while and felt that it was unlikely, so he waved his hand and asked people to continue digging sweet potatoes. It didn't take long for all the fields to be dug up, and nothing strange was found.

This made Xiao Yu, who was full of expectations, a little disappointed.

Ling Yi immediately asked people to clean the soil on the sweet potatoes as much as possible, and selected them and divided them into two piles according to their size, and put them into baskets respectively.

Before it was weighed, it could already be seen that the yield of this sweet potato was not low.

Xiao Yu said beside him: "I don't know how to grow sweet potatoes on Li Ying's side." Cousin, do you know what Li Ying's sweet potatoes look like? What is the yield? ”

Because those soldiers were about to pick up the sweet potatoes back to Xiao's house, Ling Yi and a few people went out to make way out.

Ling Yi said as he walked: "It's still investigating." However, it was mentioned in the compromises of the palace of Jingnan County that they only found a few sweet potatoes, and after tasting them, only a dozen of them were sent to the capital, and it is said that they were all the rest. ”

Xiao Yu nodded.

Hao Jun said indignantly on the side: "Since this is the case, then their sweet potatoes must have been stolen from here, otherwise there are only a few!" ”

Ling Yi glanced at Hao Jun coldly, and said, "I didn't like it, who is to blame?" ”

Seeing that Hao Jun was suddenly silent.

Xiao Yu was secretly amused.

Out of the vegetable patch, Xiao Yu rubbed off the clay on the bottom of the fawn boots on the turf on the side of the road, patted Xiao Pei with the mud on the hem of the skirt, and said: "Sister, look, I said that it is inconvenient to wear a skirt to the ground, look at how convenient it is for me to do this." ”

Hao Jun said on the side: "But Sister Ayu, you also wear a straight shirt on the street." ”

Xiao Pei immediately laughed.

Hua Yue couldn't see what Xiao Yu looked like now because of the inconvenience of her eyes, and after listening to these words, she realized that she often wore men's clothes now, and remembered that she wore his old clothes when she was a child, and couldn't help but smile a little.

Xiao Yu looked up and just saw it, somehow a little embarrassed, and then said confidently: "I do think it's more convenient to wear men's clothes, and the people in the poison sect were so rampant before, isn't it more appropriate to dress up as a man?" ”

Hao Jun scratched his head and said with a smile: "That's true." ”

Xiao Yu stole a glance at Hua Yue, and saw that he had returned to his breezy appearance, and he was a little entangled in his heart, wondering if he would imagine her as a rough tomboy.

It didn't take long for all those sweet potatoes to be picked up and returned to the Xiao family's yard.

Ling Yi asked people to bring the scale.

Although it had been expected, after the weighing, Ling Yi and a few others were still stunned when they heard the number: the yield of corn is already amazing, and the yield of this sweet potato is actually even higher! The vegetable field, which is only a little more than a penny, has harvested more than 400 catties of sweet potatoes, which is more than the rice grown in an acre of good paddy fields!

Wang Lei and several old farmers were already excited, and their hands were shaking.

In addition to the surprise, Wang Lei, Hao Jun, and Xiao Yucheng were both regretful and annoyed there, and blamed themselves: "I didn't expect it to be such a baby, let the people from the county king's mansion touch a few and go to the saint to ask for merit, it's really infuriating!" ”

Several people were suddenly a little depressed.

Ling Yi had already said Hao Jun a few times today, but it was rare that he didn't train a few more people: "Although the Jingnan County Mansion stole a few, it didn't grow any yield for some reason. Therefore, the reward mentioned by the saint is just to see that sweet potatoes are also a rare thing, and they should be a scene. ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "In this case, if we can plant this sweet potato well, the merit of the Jingnan County Royal Mansion to plant this sweet potato first and dedicate it to the Holy Lord will become insignificant." Because the Holy One also knows that this sweet potato was brought back with the corn before. ”

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, and immediately cheered up again.

Hao Jun said: "Why don't the generals play directly and let Your Majesty know that the sweet potatoes in the County King's Mansion were actually stolen from us." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head: "Are you telling the Holy Lord that he was negligent in his duties, so that the divine objects related to the fortune of the country were quietly stolen without knowing it?" ”

This is a great sin!

Hao Jun was startled when he heard this, and quickly shook his head.

Ling Yi next to him said: "And now that the Holy Lord has planned to reward the County King's Mansion, if I bring up this matter at this time, it will inevitably be regarded as jealousy, and I can't tolerate others to make meritorious contributions." Besides, most of the saints also knew about this matter, and they said that they were impeached for dereliction of duty, as Ah Yu's sister said. It is better to plant this sweet potato to produce the yield, and the trial planting of the Jingnan County Royal Mansion is not worth mentioning. ”

The corners of Hua Yue's lips rose slightly.

At that time, the matter of planting sweet potatoes in the palace of Jingnan County will not only lose weight, but will also become a joke.

After all, anyone with a heart can guess where the sweet potatoes in Jingnan County Wangfu come from. They tried their best to get the credit for a trial planting, but they couldn't find the high yield of sweet potatoes, and seeing that the credit fell into the hands of Ling Yi and a few people, I was afraid that they were going to vomit blood, right?

Thinking of this, Hua Yue smiled and said lightly: "Then the matter of high yield of sweet potatoes should be reported as soon as possible, and be careful not to leak the rumors." ”

Xiao Yu nodded again and again: "And this sweet potato should also be planted on another piece of land, there were too many sweet potatoes like that before, I have to try to see if there are any good ways to save grain seeds." ”

Several people immediately claimed that it was.

Ling Yi then asked Wang Lei to arrange for someone to prepare the land.

At this time, it was past noon, and the Xiao family and the General's Mansion had always been accustomed to three meals a day, Xiao Pei had already ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal, and came over to invite a few people to eat.

After sitting down in the hall, Xiao Yu remembered something and asked, "Cousin, you said before that the Jingnan County Wangfu had already let people try this sweet potato before sending it to Beijing?" ”

Ling Yi bowed his head and said, "Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to present it to the Holy Lord at will, I heard that it was quite delicious." ”

Ling Yanying, who was sitting next to Xiao Yu, smiled, took her hand, and asked, "Sister Ah Yu wants to use sweet potatoes to cook again?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Do you remember the silk taro last time?" This sweet potato looks like the same type as taro, and I wanted to see if I could make a shredded sweet potato. ”

Ling Yan immediately supported and pulled Xiao Yu to the kitchen together.

At lunchtime, Ling Yan, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Pei all ate with relish, and listening to what Xiao Yucheng said, Ling Yihuayue and the two only sandwiched a piece to taste, maybe they didn't like sweetness.

On the contrary, Zhong Lang ate a few pieces.

Ling Yan secretly wrote it down, feeling that it was a wise move to go to the kitchen with Xiao Yu just now.

At that moment, Ling Yan took Xiao Yu's hand again, blinked and said with some embarrassment: "Sister Ayu, can you write down the method of pulling the taro for me?" ”

Sweet potatoes are such a valuable thing, it is very good to be able to eat them once, Ling Yan didn't think that she could take some back to the General's Mansion, but she could still make silk taro. I just don't know if Xiao Yu will write this exclusive dish to her.

Of course, Xiao Yu did not refuse, and immediately wrote this recipe to Ling Yan on a flower note.

This dish is actually not difficult to make, and an experienced chef can almost make it after eating it.

But Ling Yan was like a treasure, and said with a smile: "Sister Ah Yu is the best, don't worry, I won't teach this recipe to others." ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Actually, if you are learned, it is nothing, just a dish." ”

Ling Yan carefully put away the recipe. Although Xiao Yu said this, she didn't want to see the whole city make this dish, so she wouldn't let others steal it!

A few people gossiped in the small flower hall for a long time, and Xiao Yu suddenly mentioned the old words again: "I don't know if there is a treasure buried in the ground of sweet potatoes, I really want to dig it up and take a look." ”

Still thinking about it? Xiao Pei and Ling Yan next to him glanced at each other and were speechless. (To be continued.) )
