The acres of land that were set aside had the household officials standing in person at the four corners, and Hu Yingjia, who was not at ease, also stood there to monitor, which made Qian Yuan laugh.

It's all come to this, and you still don't believe it?!

Well, in fact, Huang Maoguan and Chen Younian don't believe it, mainly because they don't dare to believe it.

No, the dug up sweet potatoes were put into the bamboo basket, and Huang Maoguan personally carried out the scales and recorded them personally, and in order to maintain accuracy, even the weight of the bamboo basket was deducted, and the clods of soil stained on the sweet potatoes had to be removed.

"How much has been planted in Pengxi Town?" Lu Yipeng asked curiously.

Qian Yuan calculated in his heart, "Nanyang has sent three batches, Pengxi Town first planted 20 acres, and then replanted 20 acres, this piece was replanted later, maybe the yield per mu is slightly less." ”

Lu Yipeng shook his head and said: "Such a novel crop, I am actually willing to allocate forty acres of land, and Pengxi Town is quite generous." ”

Qian Yuan didn't say anything, as early as the year before last, his father and brother sent tomatoes, corn, and sunflower seeds, which were selected to be planted in Pengxi Town.

In addition, more than ten clansmen in Pengxi Town have joined the Qian family guard, and many clansmen were injured and rescued by Xiao Qi, which is all love.

Besides, Qian Yuan also promised that the planting method and the harvest are all owned by the farmers, and the Qian family will purchase it with silver, and if the planting is illegal, it will be compensated according to the yield of three stones of rice per mu.

Until dusk, Huang Maoguan counted the total, doubled it three times, and swallowed, "About thirteen and a half stones." ”

Chen Younian said with a smile: "Zhancai, Wen Chang said, Your Majesty said, less than twenty stones, to show your talents!" ”

"Six and a half stones missing...... That's not enough! ”

Hu Yingjia stared from beginning to end, and even went down to the field to pick up a few sweet potatoes in person...... This guy is wondering if he is making a show, but unfortunately he didn't see any flaws.

Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei, and in this way, sweet potatoes yield 20 stone per mu in Nanyang, and the yield is slightly reduced when transplanted." ”

After a pause, Qian Yuan added: "It may be related to the season, the first batch planted is harvested in mid-September, about 178 stones, some old farmers speculate, if planted in March and harvested in August, it is possible to yield 20 stones per mu." ”

Huang Maoguan pondered in his heart for a moment and nodded slightly, "In this way, transplanting in the northeast and northwest also needs to be tried at the right time." ”

"Of course." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "There is no winter in the South Seas, there is no wind and snow, and the northeast and northwest are cold and windy...... Nature is very different, but sweet potatoes have also been grown in the cold regions of the West, so it should be fine. ”

The main promotion areas of sweet potatoes are the northeast and northwest, and it is really not rare in Huguang and southeast.

Qian Yuan and Mao Haifeng discussed the old farmers brought from Nanyang, it is likely that the temperature is not enough, the first batch of sweet potatoes is harvested in mid-September, when the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed a month, and it is already late autumn.

That night, everyone had an all-sweet potato feast...... In later generations, laugh off the big teeth, but in this era, it is a treasure.

Huang Maoguan really didn't have any shelf, so he personally followed Qian Yuan and watched him wash, cut, steam, boil, stew, and roast......

In addition to steamed sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, and baked sweet potatoes, there are also sweet potato cakes, sweet potato noodles, sweet potato glutinous rice crackers, sweet potato porridge, sweet potato flour steamed pork, and Qian Yuan even made a sweet potato shredded dish that Xiao Qi was full of.

Huang Maoguan smiled and picked up the steamed sweet potato into his mouth, only to feel that it melts in his mouth, sweet cotton is delicious, and he can't help but praise: "It's really an honor to be able to cook in person." ”

Chen Younian and Lu Yipeng didn't feel anything...... Back then, they ate too many of the experimental products that Qian Yuan tossed out in the small kitchen, and Hu Yingjia sneered, obviously feeling that Huang Maoguan was a little shameless.

Huang Maoguan was not angry, and said with a smile: "Wen Chang once said that outside the garden, Beijing has to show his talents and cook, but Yuwang, Gao Xinzheng, and Lu Pingquan chatted with a few people. ”

Chen Younian glanced at Qian Yuan and added: "In the southeast, only Jingchuan Gong, Wu Weixi, Qi Yuanjing, and Zhongcheng have this honor. ”

Qian Yuan laughed and shook his head, "Uncle loves Liyuan and makes dramas, Qian loves cooking and makes dishes, and the fun is not humane." ”

Huang Maoguan nodded, his hand did not stop, and after a while, he said, "Try a few acres tomorrow." ”

"Not sure?" Qian Yuan didn't care, "It's okay, and there are still a few places in Taizhou and Ningbo that also grow sweet potatoes, as well as artichoke and golden sticks...... However, they have all been harvested, and the yield is not low, at least higher than the rice harvest. ”

Huang Maoguan frowned and asked, "Can you also replace the five grains?" ”

"It's hard to say, it can be a staple food, or it can be a dish." Qian Yuan thought for a while, "The yield per mu of artichoke is about the same as that of sweet potatoes, and the yield of golden rods is much less, and the yield per mu is about six or seven stones." ”

Huang Maoguan was a little incredulous, in his opinion, treasures such as sweet potatoes are already hard to find in the world, and there are similar artichokes?

"It tastes good, so let's stay for a few more days and have some potatoes come over." Qian Yuan scooped a bowl of sweet potato porridge, "If the investigation is correct, the yield per mu will be more than ten stones, and it will be tried and promoted in the north, and it will be bothered by Lin Yuangong." ”

"This is the job of the household department." Huang Maoguan indignantly promised, "It can live all the people, this is a merit, just this move, the exhibition is enough to leave a name for future generations!" ”

"Ahem." Hu Yingjia said without yin or yang: "This thing is offered by maritime merchants. ”

Qian Yuan, who also said that sweet potatoes had nothing to do with him, rolled his eyes, "Qian Mou has a good eye!" ”

Chen Younian sneered and said: "Only by showing talent to appease Wang Zhi, setting up a city for trade, and planting a plane tree, can we attract a phoenix." ”

Hu Yingjia blurted out, "It's obviously Hu Ruzhen who soothed Wang Wufeng!" ”

The room was quiet, Huang Maoguan lowered his eyes slightly, Chen Younian and Lu Yipeng tried their best to hold back their laughter, and Qian Yuan looked at Hu Yingjia with a blue face with a smile.

Tsk, Hu Yingjia is Xu Jie's disciple, and he has always regarded Hu Zongxian, a member of the Yan Party, as an enemy, but now he is fighting for him...... It's so funny.

This thing is stupid, isn't it?

Seeing Hu Yingjia leave in a huff, Qian Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, "Hu Gong really lacks a successor." ”

Looking at the strange eyes that the three of them glanced over, Qian Yuan said with a straight face: "Qian Mou does admire Nanjin Weng. ”

Hu Yingjia is actually quite famous in history, very capable of making trouble, impeached Gao Gong twice, the first time if it wasn't for Emperor Jiajing happened to die, I was afraid that Gao Gong would be miserable, and the second time Gao Gong was expelled from Beijing by Xu Jie.

Shen Kun, the former prince of the country who once had a relationship with Qian Yuan, also died in the hands of Hu Yingjia, the Japanese invaded Huai'an, Shen Kun scattered all his family wealth and gathered the countryside to kill the Japanese, Hu Yingjia impeached him for conspiracy and rebellion, and Shen Kun was imprisoned and died in prison.

Hu Yingjia got out, the atmosphere in the house was relaxed, and Qian Yuan also asked people to bring a jar of rice wine to help the fun.

"As Qian said before, oranges are oranges born in Huainan, and oranges are born in Huaibei, sweet potatoes and artichoke planting methods, how to breed, when to plant, when to harvest, what are the differences between the north, south, east and west......" Qian Yuan said softly: "You can try planting in various places, ask the old farmers, and compile it into a book, I don't know if Lin Yuangong is willing to undertake this heavy responsibility?" ”

Huang Maoguan's eyes lit up, and then he waved his hand and said: "This thing was introduced by Zhancai, or is it better not to bother the two masters." ”

"Zhancai's temperament!" Chen Younian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has said that Zhancai belongs to monkeys, and when there is no quiet time when he jumps up and down, he abandons Hanlin to go south to attack the Japanese, it is really because he can't sit still in Hanlin Academy!" ”

Lu Yipeng also said with a smile: "Wen Chang also said in front of His Majesty, the paper is colorful, and he will not be able to enter the Hanlin Academy after 30 years, such a heavy responsibility must be the original Duke of Lin." ”

Although he knew that the two friends were helping, Qian Yuan couldn't help but stare at him...... A group of fox friends and dog friends will know that they will damage me!

Huang Maoguan stroked his long beard and muttered for a moment, "Zhancai is a genius, patrolling Zhejiang, and traveling all over the country, so Huang will prepare first, and then ask Zhancai to finalize the draft?" ”

"Thank you Lin Yuan Gong for your help!"

Everyone knows in their hearts, if sweet potatoes and artichokes really have more than ten stone outputs, they can be promoted to the northeast and northwest, this article ...... is enough to make Huang Maoguan famous for future generations.

This is a heavy gift from Qian Yuan, and it is also a temptation that Huang Maoguan can hardly refuse.
