Chapter 438: Planting Sweet Potatoes

Jin Cheng still believed in Lu Xiaoyao, but this matter was related to all the people of Yucheng, and he had to be cautious, and after pondering for a while, Jin Cheng spoke up.

"Since the sweet potatoes belong to Hejia Village, let's take a trip tomorrow to Hejia Village to see how long it takes them to grow sweet potatoes? Let's see how much they produce per acre? When the time comes, decide whether to let the people of Yucheng plant sweet potatoes. ”

Jin Cheng's decision was very cautious, and Lu Xiaoyao also knew that he was acting steadily, after all, it was the matter of all the people in Guan Yucheng, and he couldn't just listen to her one-sided words and make a decision, when the sweet potatoes were planted and there was no good harvest, it would be worse for the people of Yucheng.

Lu Xiaoyao nodded, Jin Cheng's decision was good, she also wanted to go to Hejia Village to have a look, compare their methods of growing sweet potatoes, and then improve them by synthesizing their own methods, which will definitely increase the yield of sweet potatoes.

After the decision was made, Jin Cheng went out of Zhao Guanlan's camp, Lu Xiaoyao was very excited, and after Jin Cheng went out, he went straight to Zhao Guanlan's side and threw himself into Zhao Guanlan's arms.

"Xianggong, you believe me, sweet potatoes will definitely let the people of Yucheng get through the difficulties."

Lu Xiaoyao told Zhao Guanlan about the benefits of sweet potatoes, Zhao Guanlan hugged Lu Xiaoyao, and listened carefully to her saying that sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potato noodles, dried sweet potatoes, and sweet potato starch and so on.

Although Zhao Guanlan doesn't know what these sweet potato vermicelli are? But judging from the excitement of his daughter-in-law, Zhao Guanlan also knew that these were some good things, and with these things, the people of Yucheng would definitely get through this difficulty.

"Daughter-in-law, I have always believed in you." Zhao Guanlan leaned over and muttered in Lu Xiaoyao's ear.

Hearing Zhao Guanlan's words, Lu Xiaoyao's eyes showed a bright light, nothing made him happier than Zhao Guanlan's belief, wait and see, he will definitely let the people of Yucheng turn over with sweet potatoes.

Looking at the smile on Lu Xiaoyao's face, Zhao Guanlan also showed a touch of doting on his face.

Throughout the night, Lu Xiaoyao was in excitement, and he hardly fell asleep all night, and when the sky was slightly bright, he got up and washed.

Zhao Guanlan knew that she was thinking about going to Hejia Village, so she also got up and cleaned up, and the couple went out of the tent after dawn.

Jin Cheng didn't rest much all night, thinking about the things Lu Xiaoyao said, water conservancy engineering drawings, planting sweet potatoes, one thing after another passed through his mind, and he believed in Lu Xiaoyao even more in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this sweet potato could allow the people of Yucheng to last until next year's spring ploughing.

The sky was slightly bright, and I heard someone talking outside the tent, and Jin Cheng didn't continue to lie down, just got up and cleaned up, so when Lu Xiaoyao and the others came out, Jin Cheng had already come out of the tent.

"Go to Hejia Village."

"Go to Hejia Village."

Jin Cheng and Zhao Guanlan and Lu Xiaoyao met, and both sides spoke in tacit understanding, and after the words fell, the three of them laughed suddenly.

"Do you want to call Qingxue?"

After laughing, Lu Xiaoyao asked Jin Cheng, Jin Cheng still had a smile on his face, and nodded when he heard the words, "I have also been stuffy in the tent in the past two days, so I just took him to Hejia Village for a walk." ”

After Jin Cheng finished speaking to Lu Xiaoyao, he signaled them to wait for a while, and then walked directly to He Qingxue's camp.

While waiting, Lu Xiaoyao took Zhao Guanlan to the side of cooking, he didn't have the idea of playing those sweet potatoes last night, and today Lu Xiaoyao was going to let Zhao Guanlan and Jin Cheng taste the taste of sweet potatoes.

"Uncle Wang, you sit on the side, let's light the fire."

Lu Xiaoyao said to the man who was burning the fire, the man raised his head, and when he saw that it was the couple of them, his face was shocked, and he refused.

"Lord Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, this is not good, how can you two come to light the fire?"

The guy refused strongly, Lu Xiaoyao smiled, and directly threw Zhao Guanlan a look, and Zhao Guanlan pulled the guy aside to speak.

Lu Xiaoyao took a look at the red and glamorous stove, and a smile appeared in his eyes, the sweet potatoes burned by this charcoal fire must be delicious.

The stove is a big stove, Lu Xiaoyao picked up several sweet potatoes and threw them inside, first covered the sweet potatoes with a layer of cool carbon ash, and then brought the red and bright charcoal fire on one side with branches to the sweet potatoes.

There is porridge boiling in the pot, the fire is not big, it is the most suitable for roasting sweet potatoes at this time, Lu Xiaoyao sat in front of the stove with an expectant face, not afraid of the heat at all, and waited quietly.

When Jin Cheng and He Qingxue came over, they saw Lu Xiaoyao sitting in front of the stove so stupidly, Zhao Guanlan was talking to the guy on the side, and he didn't care what Lu Xiaoyao was doing?

The two were puzzled for a moment, and after exchanging glances, He Qingxue came over to Lu Xiaoyao's side, and Jin Cheng went over to Zhao Guanlan's side.

"Mrs. Zhao, what are you doing here? It's so hot, you're still by the fire, aren't you afraid of the heat? ”

He Qingxue came over and saw that Lu Xiaoyao's forehead was covered with sweat, and asked suspiciously.

Hearing He Qingxue's voice, Lu Xiaoyao pulled He Qingxue over with an excited face, leaned in front of her and said, "I'm baking sweet potatoes, you all taste it in a while, you will definitely like it." ”

Lu Xiaoyao smiled and spoke, He Qingxue already knew from Jin Cheng that Lu Xiaoyao mentioned planting sweet potatoes, there are people in Yucheng who grow sweet potatoes, and she has eaten them before, but generally this kind of sweet potatoes are mixed with rice, or mixed with porridge and cooked together, and she has not tried to roast to eat, He Qingxue is still a little curious about this, so she squatted in front of the stove next to Lu Xiaoyao.

Lu Xiaoyao estimated the time, and saw that the time was almost up, so he took a stick and gently peeled off the charcoal fire, revealing the roasted sweet potatoes inside.

After probing the softness, and seeing that it was almost there, Lu Xiaoyao used the tongs on the side to clip out all the roasted sweet potatoes in the stove.

"Minister, come and have a taste."

Lu Xiaoyao took a roasted sweet potato and scalded it until she yelled hard, but the excitement on her face couldn't be hidden, Zhao Guanlan and Jin Cheng had already taken a fancy to them, and when they saw Lu Xiaoyao like a child, they also shook their heads and laughed.

The roasted sweet potatoes were just right, the softness and hardness were moderate, and the sweet potato flesh inside was golden and clear, which looked appetizing, and He Qingxue couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Qingxue, give it, try it."

Lu Xiaoyao handed the first roasted sweet potato to He Qingxue, the roasted sweet potato had been cooled by her a lot, and the temperature was not hot, looking at the golden and clear sweet potato flesh inside, He Qingxue took a bite unceremoniously, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wow, it's delicious!"

The sweet potato meat is soft and glutinous, with a burnt fragrance, and there is a faint sweet feeling in the mouth after a mouthful, which is particularly comfortable to eat, and it tastes much better than the sweet potato that is boiled and eaten.

"Jin Cheng, you can taste it too."

He Qingxue handed the other half of his hand to Jin Cheng, and Lu Xiaoyao also gave one to Zhao Guanlan, and then they all began to taste the taste of roasted sweet potatoes.
