Chapter 108: Eating
How much is 200 catties, 200 catties of rice can produce 140 catties of rice, and 140 strong men can eat a full meal. What about more than 1,000 catties, as well as the sweet potatoes of the nine acres of land that have not been dug up, that adds up to at least more than 10,000 catties, plus double cropping rice, the grain is definitely enough. Thinking of this, Marchand was excited, and shouted loudly:
"One thousand two hundred pounds! 1,200 pounds! 1,200 pounds! Ma Shang's three sounds of 1,200 catties straightened up in shock to the Tian family, who was burying their heads in digging sweet potatoes. Xu Ming and Lin Yunlei, who were helping to carry sweet potatoes, and the four entourages were also shocked.
Although the Tian family thought of the bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, they did not expect such a bumper harvest, so when Ma Shang shouted, everyone didn't believe it now, and then it was ecstasy, they wouldn't believe that Ma Xianling would lie.
Compared with the Tian family, Lin Yunlei directly expressed his suspicions, "Is there really 1,200 catties?" Lin Yunlei was overjoyed in his heart, but at the same time he didn't believe it, he estimated a maximum of 1,000 catties, and he was afraid that the extra 200 catties would be a false hug. Although Ma Shang is his father's subordinate, he also loved him very much when he was a child, but his father has been gone for many years, and Ma Shang has not been by his side and his eldest brother, maybe something has changed.
"Lord, ......it's all here, look!" Ma Shang felt that he was too embarrassed for him to expose Lin Yunlei's identity, but he didn't dare to call him Little Brother Lin like the Tian family, which was almost exposed just now. Ma Shang looked at Xu Ming next to him, how could he help the little master come up with such a stupid idea, Xu Ming replied to him, you said that you were stupid. I can't even do this little thing.
Lin Yunlei took the paper handed by Ma Shang. For the matter of checking the trap just now. It seems that he didn't remember it at all, but his eyes when he looked at Ma Shang were like knives, and Ma Shang was shocked, and quickly hid behind Xu Ming. Lin Yunlei saw that Ma Shang was unproductive, and felt that he was still pretending to be young when he was old, and he was really unproductive, so he didn't care about him, and looked down at the data by himself. Sure enough, all the data added up. It's one thousand two hundred and thirty taels.
Lin Yunlei's heart blossomed, it seems that the problem that his eldest brother was worried about has finally been solved, not to mention this double-season rice, just planting sweet potatoes alone will not be able to eat the grain. For a while, Lin Yunlei was eager to plant sweet potatoes on the land of the four northern counties.
"Don't think about growing only sweet potatoes, these sweet potatoes are suitable for dry and sandy land, but not for good land, and growing sweet potatoes on good land is completely thankless! And sweet potatoes can't be eaten as a staple food, only as a supplementary food, or a vegetable, and people will feel uncomfortable if they eat too much! Xia Zhi saw Lin Yunlei grinning while holding a piece of paper. Guessing that he thought of something, he hurriedly spoke out to stop it. If there were sweet potatoes, everyone would grow sweet potatoes instead of rice, it would be her sin, so she quickly reminded her.
Listening to Xia Zhi's muttered bass, Lin Yunlei woke up from his excitement, but he didn't expect him to think badly for a while, but fortunately, Xia Zhi's reminder from the child.
"Well, I know what to do, but I thought about it for a while, thank you for the reminder of Xiao Xia Zhi, as a report I promised you to sell sweet potatoes to Xianglou, how about it?" After Lin Yunlei finished speaking, he still winked at the summer solstice.
"You, you——, you are-" Xia Zhi pointed at Lin Yunlei and said in surprise, I didn't expect this guy to be the owner of the Fragrance Building, before the sweet potatoes were about to ripen, he found the shopkeeper of the Fragrance Building and said that he wanted to sell the sweet potatoes to them to make vegetables or pastries, but he didn't know what to do with the refreshing shopkeeper before he didn't agree, no matter how much Xia Zhi stalked, the shopkeeper must insist on waiting for the owner's reply. It is conceivable how surprised Lin Yunlei was the boss of the fragrance building at this time of the summer solstice.
"Why are you looking at me like this, aren't you glad that I agreed to your conditions?" Xia Zhi's surprised expression pleased Lin Yunlei, Lin Yunlei's calm mood just now instantly became bright again, he felt that Xia Zhi was too cute, and couldn't help but make fun of Xia Zhi again.
However, the current summer solstice didn't dare to pit Lin Yunlei like before, but nervously grabbed the words: "What's the matter!" I'm happy, hey, happy! "At this time, the summer solstice seems to be a little weak, and there are some dog legs. Xia Zhi muttered in his heart, he knew that he was the boss of the fragrance building, so he wouldn't do it with him, but unfortunately it was too late now, and he could only see that the situation could be reversed.
"Oh, yes, I think Xiao Xia Solstice are you obviously unhappy, or forget it!" Lin Yunlei felt that the summer solstice was very interesting.
It's bad, it's bad, it's not something that happened before I hold a grudge, I deliberately don't want to accept her family's sweet potatoes, I can't do it, I have to think of a way. "Then how can it be, the eldest husband is hard to chase after him, I can't let Brother Lin have a reputation for not being trustworthy, Xie Lu Brother Xie Lin, I will definitely give a few recipes to Xianglou when the time comes!" Xia Zhi's heart was bleeding profusely, and this recipe was very valuable. But for the sake of the sales of his own sweet potatoes, he fought hard.
"Oh, Xiao Xia Zhi can actually cook, why don't you cook a few at night?" Lin Yunlei didn't expect that Xia Zhi was willing to give the recipe to Xianglou in order to sell sweet potatoes to Xianglou, you must know that in this era, the things that can be used are all ancestral, and most of them are passed on to men and women. This summer solstice is bleeding profusely, and I don't see her sad look of losing silver now. He had heard that Xia Zhi was not only smart but also a money fan.
"Hehe, there will be a few, I'm learning to cook, if Brother Lin wants to eat, say that I will definitely do it for you!" The summer solstice has arrived, and Lin Yunlei is now her biggest rich man, so she must serve well.
"That's really troublesome little summer solstice, I must go back and think about what to eat!" Alas, oh my mother, this little summer solstice is too cute, and I don't know how to scold her in my heart, and I have to make a begging appearance on the surface.
"Hehe, Brother Lin, you think slowly, I seem to be busy over there, I'll go first!" For fear that Lin Yunlei would come up with some strange dishes, and flee on the summer solstice, Lin Yunlei laughed at the Ha Lu Ha Da Lu who was watching from behind.
Xia Zhi scolded while running, you little fox, now the old lady begs you, and when you fall into the hands of the old lady that day, you can't survive, you can't die. After muttering, he made a gritted tooth appearance, and when he heard the voice behind him, he couldn't help muttering again, laughing and laughing, why don't you laugh to death.
Lin Yunlei's four followers all shook their heads when they saw that their master was bullying an eight- or nine-year-old girl, and they all agreed that their master was getting more and more offline. But maybe their eyes were too hot, and Lin Yunlei noticed it, so he turned his head and threw a knife at the four of them, and the frightened four people hurriedly lowered their heads to work, and they didn't dare to look around. The live mouse saw the cat pattern.
One afternoon, the Tian family plus Lin Yunlei and so many of them dug more than three acres of sweet potato land, and when they arrived at the most Lu Hou, the daughter-in-law of the Tian family went to cook early, leaving a man to pull the dug sweet potatoes home in an ox cart in the field.
Xu Ming and Ma Shang, Lin Yunlei really didn't leave, as soon as Li said that he would cook a sweet potato dinner for the three of them in the evening, several people made up their minds not to leave today, just knowing that the sweet potato can be eaten, but I don't know how to eat it, that's not good.
Before it was dark, people pulled the sweet potatoes home. When they returned to Tian's house, the Li family had just cooked dinner, and the group washed and went to the dinner table. In the middle of this, Lin Yunlei made up the meeting gift of Tian Lichun and Tian Jingjing. At that time, Xia Zhi was particularly nervous with five taels of silver, and walked by, which frightened Lin Yunlei into a cold sweat, thinking that this little girl's ambition is really strong. But fortunately, the summer solstice is just to make a show and scare Lin Yunlei.
There is no seat for them at the dinner table, and even the Li family has no place, for this kind of patriarchal performance, Xia Solstice has long been accustomed to it, and generally the visiting women are not at the table. But as long as you are a man, even if it is a child, you can sit openly, just like Tian Jing, who is now in the arms of Boss Tian.
But today is different, Ma Shang has to pull the summer solstice seat, saying that the summer solstice is a great hero, and he must sit on it. Xu Ming and Lin Yunlei both nodded in agreement, Xia Zhi didn't expect that even Lao Luotou and the four brothers of the Tian family nodded in agreement, Xia Zhi supported his forehead, this is too much of Lao Wang's boasting of selling melons.
However, no matter how reluctant Xia Zhi was, he did it next to Tian Laosi, and what was even more annoying was that Lin Yunlei was sitting next to her. When she sat down at the table, he also mouthed and said that he still owed him a few dishes. The angry Xia Zhi turned his head and ignored him, this person is really annoying.
Li's first dish is a series of dishes made from sweet potato seedlings such as sweet potato seedlings and stir-fried sweet potato stalks, spicy fried sweet potato seedlings, cold sweet potato stalks, fried shredded pork with sweet potato stalks, and other dishes that come up at the back of the most popular dishes, and then a small pot of steamed sweet potatoes is served, cut into sections one by one, which is convenient for people to eat.
The dishes made of bright green sweet potato seedlings are very moving, but unfortunately Tian Laosi does not allow her to move the meal first, and she must let the guests eat first, which makes Xia Zhi depressed, so it is better to let her and Li go to eat together.
Lin Yunlei saw the dish made by the brightly colored sweet potato seedlings, and even couldn't help but be happy, took a section of sweet potato, and took a bite of the sweet potato seedlings, only to feel that the soft and fragrant things in his mouth were sweet. Xu Ming and Ma Shang were not polite when they saw Lin Yunlei eating, they took the sweet potatoes and served them, and nodded in appreciation while eating. After eating the most, Li also brought a bowl of sweet potato porridge to each person, a yellow sweet potato porridge, and Lin Yunlei drank bowl after bowl. Compared with the steamed sweet potatoes just now, he prefers sweet potato porridge, and he feels that he never gets tired of eating sweet potato porridge.
Xia Zhi said to the three of them while eating, the role of sweet potatoes planting methods, in short, try to let the three of them understand how to grow sweet potatoes, she doesn't want the surnamed Lin to run to her house every day.
The guests and hosts who had a dinner were very satisfied, and the Tian family arranged for Ma Shang, Xu Ming, Lin Yunlei and the four entourages to rest. (To be continued......)
