Chapter 168: Sweet Potato

Xiao Yu only now remembered that in addition to corn, she also brought sweet potatoes and peanuts back from Luofeng Mountain.

When he was in Changzhou before, Xiao Yu had briefly remembered this incident, and then accidentally forgot about it, but now that I think about it, it doesn't matter if the peanuts are left for a long time.

If the sweet potatoes are not properly preserved, I am afraid that they will all grow seedlings, right?

I only heard Hua Yue say lightly: "It means that the sweet potatoes placed in Xiao's house were not taken care of and stolen." ”

This sentence brought Xiao Yu back to his senses. Hua Xuan went to sea for so long and didn't find these things, and now these corn and everything she and Hua Yue brought back from Luofeng Mountain, she didn't believe that Li Ying could really find these crops that she had never seen before.

Since this is the case, there is only one possibility, these sweet potatoes were also brought back by Xiao Yu and Hua Yue.

The Xiao family's sweet potatoes were stolen, but everyone didn't know it!

Ling Yi frowned and said: "It's been a few months in Changzhou, and the people in the General's Mansion can't even keep an eye on a little girl, so they actually let her take something quietly, and no one has found out yet?" ”

Hao Jun, who was next to him, blushed and turned white for a while when he heard this, and knelt down on one knee to ask for guilt: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the general!" ”

And Xiao Yucheng, who was traveling with him, also knelt down without saying a word.

Ling Yi said in a deep voice: "Dereliction of duty, of course, it will be dealt with by military law, but now give the two of you a chance to make up for it, hurry up and find out what is going on!" ”

Hao Jun and Xiao Yucheng received the order in unison, and they were about to withdraw.

Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped the person: "Wait a minute." I want to ask, after I went to Changzhou, what happened to those sweet potatoes and peanuts? ”

You have to figure out what went wrong before you know what went wrong.

Hao Jun replied: "Ah Yu, not long after you went to Changzhou, the sweet potatoes looked like they wanted to sprout. So Lord Wang did what you said before, and buried all the sweet potatoes in the ground. ”

It stands to reason that sweet potatoes are no problem to store for half a year.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead: "How did you judge that the sweet potato was about to sprout?" And when did I say bury sweet potatoes in the ground? ”

Ling Yi coughed lightly and said, "Before planting corn, I asked you if you knew how to grow sweet potatoes and peanuts, and you said at the time, if you really can't do it, just bury it in the soil and see if it can grow." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yu was dumbfounded and speechless.

To pretend that you don't know how to grow these things, you need to explore this kind of trouble!

After a while, Xiao Yu reluctantly asked, "Then, how did you judge that the sweet potato was about to sprout?" ”

Hao Jun shook his head and replied honestly: "I don't know either." ”

Xiao Yu reluctantly changed the question directly: "What happened later?" ”

This sentence stopped Hao Jun, he didn't care about those sweet potatoes, he only guarded the corn field every day, and he really didn't know what happened to the sweet potatoes after they were buried in the ground, otherwise they wouldn't have lost them.

Seeing Hao Jun's appearance, how could everyone not understand?

Ling Yi's anger in his heart went straight up.

Xiao Yucheng said from the side: "The sweet potato was planted in the vegetable field at the edge of the yard, and then the seedlings grew, and the vines and leaves covered the field, and Sister Ah watered and fertilized it every day." ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but glance at Hao Jun and Xiao Yucheng: "How could it be that Sister A is taking care of it?" What are you all doing?! ”

Hao Jun hung his head and said, "Of course, it's to guard the cornfield." ”

The sweet potato should not have been taken from the cellar by Li Zhang's people, after all, it had been counted before, and it was planted in the ground and stolen.

But aren't there people from the Great General's Mansion near the courtyard of the Xiao family, and they actually stole the sweet potatoes from people, Ling Yi couldn't help but blacken his face.

Xiao Yu turned his head and said, "Then when I go back, let's go to the sweet potato field to have a look." ”

Hua Yue stood up and said, "It's better to go now." Yuanzhi, let people send this flower to Xiao's house and give it to Miss Ayu to enjoy. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned: "This ......"

Hua Yue smiled slightly and asked, "Doesn't Miss Ayu like this flower very much?" ”

In fact, Xiao Yu was so happy that he was a little incredulous, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Then thank you first." ”

Zhong Lang was used to seeing this now, but Ling Yi was a little surprised, and glanced at Hua Yue meaningfully.

Is his cousin going to be abducted by Hua Yue?

Seeing Xiao Yu's eyebrows and eyes crooked with a smile, his eyes were radiant, as if he had won some kind of treasure, Xiao Pei couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then he thought of Qin Guangyu again, and couldn't help but feel a gloom in his heart.

Xiao Yu didn't notice everyone's reaction, and couldn't help but tell the attendant who moved the flowers to be careful, and then returned to Xiao's house with Ling Yihuayue and the others.

Everyone came to the small sweet potato field, and Wang Lei also came.

Xiao Yu saw so many sweet potatoes that he had planted less than a penny, and he was so distressed that he was dripping blood: "These sweet potatoes are planted whole?" ”

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Do you want to cut it?" ”

"Since it's a trial seed, you should always leave a few to try other methods. When you planted it, did the sweet potato sprout? Xiao Yu couldn't help but support his forehead.

"It's just that it feels a little wrinkled, and it hasn't budded yet." Wang Lei said.

So why plant so fast!

Xiao Yu couldn't show that she knew that sweet potatoes could be put on for a few months, so she had to sigh, didn't say more, and directly opened the sweet potato seedlings to see the situation.

If you do the math carefully, this sweet potato has been planted for a few months, and looking at the arch of the soil, it seems that a lot of sweet potatoes have grown.

Xiao Yu took the small shovel in the hand of the old farmer next to him and dug up the soil directly.

Everyone gathered closer to watch.

Seeing Xiao Yu lift the sweet potato vines aside in three or two clicks, and then dig it, Xiao Pei said distressedly: "Ah Yu, be careful, don't get hurt." ”

I don't know if I'm worried about hurting people or sweet potatoes.

Before the words fell, a large bunch of sweet potatoes had been pulled up by Xiao Yu, and everyone was stunned: "It's grown so much!" ”

Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Although this sweet potato has been planted for a long time, I don't know if it grows as fast as corn, but the yield is still okay.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt even more distressed about these wasted sweet potatoes.

It is comforting to know that after digging up the sweet potatoes in the ground, there will definitely be more than the original, which is better than just leaving them in the cellar.

At that moment, Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "This sweet potato can already be dug up!" Take a look at how much is produced. ”

When Ling Yi heard this, he immediately asked people to come over to dig sweet potatoes, and then asked Wang Lei: "Is there a record of this sweet potato after it is planted?" ”

Wang Lei was a little embarrassed and said, "No." ”

After Ling Yi and Xiao Yu went to Changzhou, Wang Lei and the others were all focused on the corn, and they really didn't care much about the sweet potato, otherwise they wouldn't have been stolen and didn't know.

At this time, Xiao Yu next to him shouted: "Oh, these sweet potato seedlings can be used to feed rabbits and chickens, don't throw them away." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Yu hurriedly walked a few steps, and asked the person digging the sweet potato to cut off the vine and tie it up and put it aside, and then continue digging.

After finishing the sweet potato seedlings, the men carefully dug up the soil again, and one of them suddenly bent down and picked up something: "What is this?" (To be continued.) )
