Li Dongsheng looked at his wife's charming face, and couldn't help it: "Okay, then I'll work hard and add a younger brother or sister to Siwei." ”

"Oh, it's not that I'm in a hurry... Qian Duoduo exclaimed, and then something indescribable happened.

The carriage at the gate of Lantian Houfu lined up, it seemed that he was going to go far away, it turned out that Li Dongsheng wanted to go back to see the sweet potatoes he brought back, he asked Mu Zhonghai to bring back the sweet potato vines from the Western Regions, and then let his father arrange to plant them in Lantian's own field, and the people who stayed at home came back to report, seeing that this growing sweet potato should be harvested, just ask the young master to go back and instruct.

Li Dongsheng is really concerned about sweet potatoes, and with this thing, the Han people in the Central Plains can solve the problem of hunger. Not to mention the taste and heartburn in the stomach, it has a high yield. You can put some in the porridge, you can also put some in the rice, and when there is a real famine, this is a life-saving thing.

After Li Dongsheng brought the harvested sweet potato vines and sweet potatoes back to the Central Plains, he asked Li Cheng to arrange for the tenants at home to sow seeds, and gave them all the standard requirements for sowing.

These tenants were grateful to the Li family's low rent, and although their hearts were full of doubts about what this sweet potato was, they still obeyed the owner's request to plant all the sweet potatoes in the best fields.

When Li Dongsheng took his wife and concubine and son to the sweet potato field at home, because he had not come back for a long time, the endless fields in his previous impression were gone, and what he saw in front of him was a dense greenhouse, and the glass on the top glowed dazzlingly under the reflection of the sun, and everyone was dazzled when he saw it. Li Siwei said: "Father, this scale is much larger than that Star Picking Tower, and it is much more shocking." ”

Qian Duoduo also came back for the first time after many years away from home, and when he saw that the familiar places had changed, he also nodded: "The change is really big." ”

The head of the Zhuang household is a relative of the Qi housekeeper named Zhang Hu, who is born with five big and three rough appearances, but he is very clever: "Master Hou, this greenhouse is really a good thing, and now our dishes are in short supply, and many people are rushing to ask for it." There's something bad about it ... ”

It was the first time for Li Siwei to go out of the city to play, and when he saw that everything was fresh, he couldn't help but answer: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Hu smiled: "It's that this glass is too valuable, and people often come to steal it at night, catch a few but break the glass, so everyone organizes people to be on duty, and everyone is not resting well." Ha ha. ”

Zhang Hu took everyone into the greenhouse, at a glance it was all green, sweet potato vines have spread all over the greenhouse, even on the wall, sweet potato is actually a very invasive plant, as long as it is planted in a field, it is difficult to clean up, because the rhizomes below the ground are easy to grow vines.

"This is a sweet potato?" Li Siwei looked at the green on the ground and touched his curiosity with his hand. Everything in the countryside was new and lovely to him.

"Yes, that's what I've spent years looking for. It not only has a high yield, but also does not pick the ground, in fact, it does not need to be planted in the greenhouse at all, it can be planted by the river, the field ditch, and the hillside. However, now the small number is planted in greenhouses, and when spring comes, all of them are placed outdoors. Looking at Zhang Hu's nervous expression, Li Dongsheng nodded and gave him a little encouragement, and said to Li Siwei: "The most critical thing about this sweet potato is that the roots he can eat grow under the ground, so there is no need to worry about natural disasters such as frost, rain, snow and hail, even locusts can't eat it, such crops are the best in the world."

Li Dongsheng saw that his tenants were really interested in sweet potatoes, and seeing that the sweet potato vines all over the walls were growing so lushly, the yield of sweet potatoes must be no different.

Li Siwei shouted loudly: "Having said so much, hurry up and dig it out to see, I haven't seen what life looks like!" Li Siwei was so happy, he saw that Zhang Hu had a hoe in his hand and reached out to grab it, and he was about to swing it. Zhang Hu was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Li Siwei: "Little Marquis, you are a nobleman, don't do it." ”

Li Siwei struggled desperately: "What a nobleman, I'll play." ”

Zhang Hu didn't dare to let go, this hoe obviously Xiao Hou Ye hadn't done it, if the hoe injured his foot, he couldn't afford this responsibility.

Li Dongsheng also thought of this and persuaded: "Siwei, you haven't touched this farm tool, first see how others use it, and then you come back." Otherwise, it won't hurt yourself. ”

The tenants next to him then used the hoe to work one after another, and Li Siwei asked the tenant directly next to the tenant how to use the hoe, and let the tenant teach him hand-in-hand. Li Dongsheng was very pleased to see it, and said to Qian Duoduo: "Lady, you have worked hard." ”

Li Dongsheng suddenly praised himself in front of so many people, Qian Duoduo blushed and said, "What do you say?" ”

"I'm an official outside, you teach your son at home, Siwei is now lively, very lovable, it's rare that he is not arrogant, sincere, has a strong curiosity about things that have not been touched, and is willing to humbly ask for advice. It's all thanks to you, lady. ”

At this time, Li Siwei had already picked a sweet potato vine with thick vines under the guidance of the tenant, raised the hoe and hoeed it down hard next to the sweet potato, and shaved the surrounding soil clean in a few clicks, and then saw that there were several sweet potatoes larger than a bowl were wrapped in the soil, Li Siwei squatted down and picked it directly with his hands, and several large and small sweet potatoes were exposed in the soil, Li Siwei happily held it with his hand and handed it directly to Li Dongsheng: "Father, look, there are a lot!" ”

Qian Duoduo is also an eldest lady, she doesn't know much about things in the farmland than Li Siwei, and she is also curious: "I didn't expect such a thin vine on the top, and such a big root growing underground, it's really amazing." ”

The surrounding tenants also began to shout happily: "Master Hou, there are really a lot!" ”

The greatest joy of the farmers is to see the harvest of the plants they have grown, so this field becomes a sea of joy. From time to time, there were cries of surprise, and Qian Duoduo also dug a few, happy like a child. Zhang Hu looked at the sweet potatoes piled up like a mountain, and said excitedly: "Young master, the yield of this sweet potato is too high, right, this acre of land is at least two thousand catties, right?" Two thousand catties, I never thought that there would be such a high-yield crop. ”。

"Let's weigh it first." Li Dongsheng is also very happy, he has spent so much effort to finally grow this sweet potato in the land of Datang. After so many years of hard work, it is not easy to finally bear fruit.

The tenants found a big name for collecting rent, and the last one was 3,500 catties. All the tenants were dumbfounded, there really is such a high-yield crop in the world, and their own Hou Ye is really amazing.
