Chapter 60: The Potato King

Time is the easiest thing to pass by inadvertently, especially for busy people.

After the second year of junior high school, Wang Dazhui started working overtime. Because the preparation time for the gunpowder factory is still very tight.

In addition, he still has too many things to deal with, such as going to Di Renjie's house every few days to see Di Renjie's father.

Di Renjie's father has improved a lot after this period of recuperation, and the most important thing is that the pain in his waist has been reduced a lot.

Wang Da Hammer not only formulated strict recipes and recipes for him, but also arranged for people to massage Old Man Di every day according to his own requirements, and the effect was particularly good.

According to Wang Dazhui's estimate, in the summer, Old Man Di will almost be able to go to the ground on his own.

In addition, there are many things that Wang Dazhui needs to worry about in the business of Qianjinfang and Hongyun Supermarket, because there are many things that only he can solve personally.

However, it is full of chewy fast food restaurants, and there is no need for Wang Da Hammer to worry about it for the time being, because according to the fast food recipes provided by Wang Da Hammer, I believe that there is no need to innovate for a long time.

I don't know if you still remember, I mentioned earlier that Wang Dazhui and Min'er bought a batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes when they went shopping?

Wang Dazhui ate some of these potatoes and sweet potatoes at that time, and the rest were hidden by him in the cellar.

He kept these as seeds, and now that the new year is over, it will be spring, and it is time to take them out and sow them.

I believe that the planting of this thing is a great credit to Wang Dazhu.

In this era of the Tang Dynasty, the grain output was pitifully low, and the dry land in the north only produced one stone to two stones per acre.

Rice is planted in the south, because it can be planted two more seasons a year, and the yield is slightly better, but the area of such paddy fields is not large, and many places are hilly and mountainous, and in such places, the life of the people can be said to be very difficult.

Therefore, in ancient times, it was particularly easy to cause famines, and all kinds of peasant uprisings, it can be said that the people really couldn't survive, so they had to raise the banner to rebel.

In fact, in Wang Dazhui's room, there are several pots of potatoes and sweet potatoes that Wang Dazhui tried to plant, and the green leaves add a touch of green vitality to his room in winter.

Wang Dazhui put them like children, put them by the stove and took care of them carefully, watching them sprout and gradually grow leaves, Wang Dazhui's heart was full of a sense of achievement.

Under his careful care, several pots of potatoes and sweet potatoes have grown very strongly, especially since the temperature has risen recently, and their seedlings have grown very luxuriantly. I believe that it will not be long before it will bear fruit.

……

To grow potatoes, you have to have land, and the Wang family can be said to have no acre of land when they first arrived in Chang'an.

However, this is also difficult to stop Wang Da Hammer, money can make ghosts grind, not to mention contracting land.

In addition, potatoes and sweet potatoes do not need to be particularly fertile, even on sloping and mountainous areas.

There is basically no harvest for other food crops on such mountainous slopes, and it is not easy to recover the seeds, but there is no problem at all in growing potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Therefore, Wang Dazhui asked Uncle Bao to come forward to contract a piece of sloping land located on the outskirts of Chang'an, which is basically deserted and full of wild grass.

The Chang'an County Commander heard that Wang Dazhui was going to contract a piece of wasteland that no one cared about, and he felt very strange.

"This housekeeper, does Wang Xiannan really want to contract this overgrown wasteland?" Chang'an County Ling Qiu Wanshun was very incredulous after asking Uncle Mingbao about his intentions.

Uncle Bao went to visit Chang'an County Order as the housekeeper of Wang Dazhui's family.

"Yes, it is this wasteland that Wang Xiannan specially asked the villain to contract with the adult. That's right, and Wang Xiannan also said that even if there is a better land, there is no need. Uncle Bao explained with an embarrassed face.

"In this case, there is no problem with the official here, this land is also barren, and the fifty taels of silver are sold to the Wang County man, and there is no need to say that it is rented or not, so it should be regarded as a favor for the Wang County man." After the Chang'an County Order confirmed that it was correct, he happily agreed to Uncle Bao's request, collected the silver, and ordered someone to hand over the land deed to Uncle Bao on the spot.

Uncle Bao went back to tell Wang Da Hammer about the before and after, Wang Da Hammer was very satisfied, he originally planned to use fifty taels of silver to contract that wasteland for a few years, but he didn't expect to buy it directly now, which is better and more cost-effective.

"Uncle Bao, this deal is a good deal, I believe that when the potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted and mature in the future, this Qiu Wanshun will definitely regret asking for less today." Wang Dazhui joked.

"Young Master, your ideas are wild, how can others know that these potatoes and sweet potatoes can be grown even if they are wasteland? I'm afraid they don't even know that these two things can be eaten as food. Uncle Bao admires Wang Dazhui more and more.

"Now that the land is settled, then during this time, you should first have the land cleared, and then loosen and loosen, and after a while the weather is warm, we will immediately plant potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"Don't worry, this young master, I will let them plow the land well, and you can plant it directly when the time comes."

Uncle Bao feels that his life has been very fulfilling since he followed Wang Da Hammer, and he doesn't need to think about many things by himself, as long as he does what Wang Da Hammer tells him to do.

And these things, in Uncle Bao's view, are all good things for the benefit of the country and the people, not only to make money, but also to improve the daily life of the surrounding people.

Take Hongyuan Supermarket and Mankou Fast Food as examples, these two stores have brought a lot of benefits to the people of Chang'an City.

The things in the supermarket are not only placed in different categories, which is easy to find, but also clearly marked with prices. Unlike other places, the price is not at all, it is all the boss who says it with his mouth.

On top of that, everything in the supermarket is the most affordable of its kind on the market and caters to the masses very much.

When he used to follow the Iron Eagle Gang to do things, everyone avoided him wherever he went, just like seeing flies and bugs, but now it is completely different, and when he arrives at the market, everyone calls him Boss Bao, and he is very enthusiastic.

Although he said that he would only be a bodyguard for three years, now Uncle Bao has no idea of leaving Wang Da Hammer at all, because he understands that only in Wang Da Hammer can his life be meaningful.

Therefore, when helping Wang Dazhui do things, Uncle Bao is very dedicated, and he does it completely as his own business.

In the field where potatoes are planted, Uncle Bao found someone to burn the wild grass on it first, and then asked people to turn the land twice with ploughing oxen to clean it up neatly.

When Wang Dazhui came to the ground to check, he didn't believe that it was the wasteland he had set his eye on.
