Chapter 439 to investigate
I have to say that the taste of roasted sweet potatoes is really good, and the four of them are very satisfied, especially Jin Cheng, who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas until the first time he eats this kind of roasted sweet potato, which is very strange, and he has eaten several in a row.
After eating, Lu Xiaoyao returned the stove to his husband, and then he talked to Zhao Guanlan and Jin Cheng and left.
"Mrs. Zhao, I believe you now, this sweet potato is really delicious."
The journey to Hejia Village is not very far, in order to see the surrounding land situation, Lu Xiaoyao decided to walk to Hejia Village, and said while walking Jincheng, it is obvious that he is very satisfied with the baked sweet potatoes.
Hearing Jin Cheng's words, Lu Xiaoyao smiled, and then slowly spoke, "I told you last night that there are many ways to eat sweet potatoes, and baked sweet potatoes are just one of them, like sweet potato vermicelli, dried sweet potatoes, are all more delicious things, if you really grow a lot of sweet potatoes, I can teach everyone to make sweet potato vermicelli, make dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato starch, and sell them to other cities when the time comes, you can exchange them for rice and silver, anyway, it is not a loss-making business." ”
Hearing Lu Xiaoyao say this, Jin Cheng's eyes showed a touch of burning, as Lu Xiaoyao said, using sweet potatoes to do business in other cities, Yucheng's predicament will naturally be solved.
"Okay, let's go to Hejia Village first, if it can be done at that time, I will definitely support it."
With Jin Cheng's words, Lu Xiaoyao's heart was like taking a heart booster, and his whole body was full of spirit.
Wait, her bold words will come true.
Hejia Village is not far from Liujia Village, and the land of Hejia Village is the land of Hejia Village over the hill in front, and the boundary of Huojia Village is going forward.
Coming to the land belonging to Hejia Village, Lu Xiaoyao stopped, on the dry land, sweet potatoes were planted in the ground, and the sweet potatoes were already blooming at this time, and they would be able to bear fruit in a short time.
Looking at the growth of the sweet potato field, according to the current situation, the sweet potato harvest here will be able to be harvested in less than two months, and it is possible to plant another season of sweet potatoes at this time.
"Xianggong, Shizi, this is the sweet potato seedling."
Lu Xiaoyao pointed to the seedlings on the dry land and said, the seedlings of sweet potato seedlings are growing very well, Lu Xiaoyao is a little strange, the seedlings of sweet potato seedlings are so good, how can they not be scattered? The seedlings are too good, the sweet potatoes will not grow much, the seedlings should be scattered several times during the planting of sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes that come out are big and sweet, all of them are delicious, and the scattered sweet potato seedlings can be used to feed pigs and livestock, and can also continue to be used to grow sweet potatoes, which is a good place for sweet potatoes.
Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's introduction, Jin Cheng and Zhao Guanlan both set their eyes on the sweet potato seedlings, they didn't know much about the sweet potato seedlings, but when they saw the green leaves, they also knew that the sweet potato was growing very well.
Lu Xiaoyao cared about the sweet potato seedlings, and then went to check the land, if the land where the sweet potatoes are planted is sandy, the sweet potatoes grown are more delicious, and they are better to dig when digging, what surprised Lu Xiaoyao is that the land in Hejia Village is really sandy.
"What are you doing? What are you doing with my sweet potatoes? ”
Just when Lu Xiaoyao was inspecting the land, someone asked from the entrance of the village, and the villagers saw someone gathered in the sweet potato field, and they couldn't see who it was from a distance? So he asked loudly, and after the words fell, a group of villagers rushed over with their guys.
"Hey, Lord Zhao, why are you?"
Among the people who came was Lizheng Hezhou of Hejia Village, who had seen Zhao Guanlan when digging channels to drain the water, and also knew that he was the official of the water control this time, and when he saw that it was his party who appeared in the sweet potato field, his face could not hide his surprise.
"Herizheng, it's us." Zhao Guanlan said with a gentle expression.
Lu Xiaoyao got up from the ground, looked at Li Zheng who was speaking, and asked, "He Lizheng, may I ask where your sweet potato seedlings came from?" Is it planted directly from sweet potatoes? Or in other ways. ”
Lu Xiaoyao inspected the land and said with some puzzlement, mainly because these sweet potato seedlings are too dense, so the yield of sweet potatoes is not much, and the size will not be large.
He Lizheng didn't know Lu Xiaoyao, he looked at her with some suspicion, Zhao Guanlan hurriedly explained, "He Lizheng, this is my wife, we came today for the sweet potato, and I will talk to you in detail later." ”
Hearing Zhao Guanlan's introduction, He Lizheng immediately relaxed his attitude and respectfully greeted Lu Xiaoyao, "It turned out to be Mrs. Zhao, do you know anything about sweet potatoes?" The sweet potatoes on our side are directly planted, and when they are to be planted, they are separated and chopped into pieces and buried in the ground. ”
He Lizheng's statement also confirmed Lu Xiaoyao's guess, as expected, it is no wonder that the sweet potato seedlings are so dense and lush, and the yield of sweet potatoes grown in this way is not high, and it will cost a lot of sweet potato seeds.
Lu Xiaoyao had a plan in his heart and nodded to Zhao Guanlan.
"He Lizheng, how many of these sweet potato fields are there in your village? Could you please take us for a spin. ”
Zhao Guanlan was very prestigious in the eyes of the people of Hejia Village and Liujia Village, and after hearing his request, He Lizheng nodded, beckoning the villagers to go back, and took Zhao Guanlan and Lu Xiaoyao to the place where sweet potatoes were planted in Hejia Village.
In addition to the area at the entrance of the village, patches of sweet potatoes are also planted in the back mountain of Hejia Village, and He Li is introducing Lu Xiaoyao to them while answering Lu Xiaoyao's questions.
There are still a lot of people who grow sweet potatoes in the village, and it is also because of the floods in Yucheng every year, after the floods, there will be a famine in Yucheng every year, although there is relief food from the imperial court, but it can't last long, so people starve to death every year.
After planting sweet potatoes in Hejia Village, the situation here is much better, mainly because of the dry land in Hejia Village, which is suitable for the growth of sweet potatoes, so I got this luck and can last next year's spring ploughing.
After walking around the sweet potato fields in Hejia Village, the group followed him to He Lizheng's house.
Hearing that He Lizheng brought officials from the imperial court to the house, Aunt He hurriedly came out to greet him, and other people in the village also came to Lizheng's house to join in the fun.
Almost all the people in the village who participated in digging the channel knew Zhao Guanlan, and greeted Zhao Guanlan one by one, Zhao Guanlan was originally a rural person, and there was no shelf on his body, and he talked to everyone with a smile as when he dug the channel that day, and gained the favor of many villagers.
Jin Cheng saw all this, and became more and more satisfied with Zhao Guanlan, and decided to go back and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all these things, telling him that he had not seen the wrong person.
Aunt He beckoned the group to sit down in the hall, and busily took people to cook, preparing to entertain the distinguished guests at noon.
He Lizheng's house looks pretty good, it should be more than enough than the top, Lu Xiaoyao walked around and came to this conclusion.
