Chapter 4 Corn and Sweet Potato Feast

The crops grown in Wangjiazhuang can have a yield of thirteen or fourteen stones! This news was spread rapidly, and it became more and more outrageous when it was spread to the back, and the outrageous statement of 100 stones per mu was believed.

After two days, it finally reached Fang Xianzun's ears, and Fang Xianzun directly reprimanded the person who delivered the news, in his words, as a county official, how could he not use his brain, how could he follow the crowd!

After Fang Wenjin reprimanded the news communicator, he immediately sent someone to call Wang Dalun, and specifically pointed out that Fang Wen'er must also come, because Mrs. misses her daughter. By the way, corn and sweet potatoes are also brought.

Wang Dalun received the call of Lao Taishan and was very reluctant to go. He felt that in the perceptive eyes of old Taishan, he had no secrets to hide from him. In addition to the unconsciously exposed official authority, Wang Dalun just felt uncomfortable all over his body.

And Fang Wen'er happily agreed, and began to instruct people to prepare the car, and asked people to put large bags of things on the car. Of course, you should bring more corn and sweet potatoes, these two things can be boiled and baked, and they taste very good, so you should bring more to your parents to taste.

Wang Dalun looked at the elated Fang Wen'er, smiled bitterly, and went back to Xingxian County with Fang Wen'er to meet Lord Taishan.

When he arrived at the county office, Fang Wenjin had already finished processing the official documents and was sitting and chatting with Qian Shijin. Seeing the two of them coming in, Fang Wenjin nodded at the two of them and greeted, "Coming?" Sit! ”

Fang Wen'er immediately stopped following up, rushed up and hugged Fang Wenjin's neck and said, "Father, it's rare for my daughter to go home, you welcome me like this, I'm so angry!" ”

Fang Wenjin smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "Let go, let go!" The person who is about to become a mother is still like a child, and when you have a child, I will see what you do! ”

"No, anyway, I'll always be a child who can't grow up in your eyes, so I'll rely on you!" Fang Wen'er hugged Fang Wenjin's neck and shook it desperately.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong? My good daughter is back today and I give a warm welcome! Fang Wenjin hurriedly begged for mercy.

"That's pretty much it!" Fang Wen'er let go of Fang Wenjin's neck with satisfaction, and said as if offering a treasure: "Father, I brought good things today, you sit down first, I'll get it, and let you and Uncle Qian taste it!" ”

"What's good?" Fang Wenjin asked.

"Wait a minute, you'll find out! Let the prime minister sit with you, he also knows, you ask him! After speaking, Fang Wen'er left, leaving Wang Dalun to deal with the interrogation of the two.

"Is what Wen'er said about corn and sweet potatoes?" Fang Wenjin turned his head and asked Wang Dalun.

"Yes, Lord Tarzan!" Wang Dalun hurriedly got up and replied.

"Sit down, it's all a family, there's no need to be so restrained!" Fang Wenjin motioned for Wang Dalun to sit down and speak.

"How many acres do you have harvested?" Fang Wenjin asked with concern.

"The corn has not been threshed yet, and it is estimated that there is a yield of eight stones per acre. After weighing, the average yield per mu of sweet potatoes is 14 stones! Wang Dalun replied.

"So many! It seems that you still had reservations about what you told us at the time! Although Qian Shijin was mentally prepared, he didn't expect it to increase.

"In the first year of trial planting, I didn't know the bottom, where did I dare to talk full." Wang Dalun said modestly.

"What kind of ground are you planting?" Qian Shijin continued to confirm the details.

"If you plant it in bad land, you won't plant it at home, for fear of being wasted! Luckily, they're competitive, so the yield is okay! Wang Dalun said in high spirits, he finally proved himself right.

"Well, I'm not worried about the yield now, I'm worried about how these two things taste, but they shouldn't be too bad." Fang Wenjin said on the side.

"Wen'er will get the things ready right away, and you can taste them then. These two things still taste good, and recently many people in the family don't even eat food, so they eat these. ”

"Oh, really? Listening to what you said, the worms in my stomach are moving, Xueren, let's have a good taste later. Fang Wenjin said with a smile.

"Well, I'm moving my stomach now!" Qian Shijin also said with great anticipation.

After a while, Fang Wen'er came in with steaming boiled corn and golden roasted sweet potatoes.

"Father, don't be too busy talking, come and try boiled corn and roasted sweet potatoes and see how it tastes?" Fang Wen'er said playfully.

Fang Wenjin saw that the two things were selling very well, smelled the fragrance, and said happily: "Okay, smelling it makes people have an appetite!" ”

After eating a bag of corn and a sweet potato, Fang Wenjin patted his stomach and said, "I'm so full, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat later." Xueren, what about you? ”

"Dong Weng, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat either." Qian Shijin said, then turned his head and asked Wang Dalun: "Uncle, can these two things only be eaten like this?" If that's the case, I don't think it will be able to replace the staple food! ”

"Hehe, master, there are many ways to eat these two things. Today, Master won't go back to eat, stay and taste the meal I specially prepared. Wang Dalun said mysteriously.

"A big meal? You're not going to let us eat sweet potatoes and corn, we're so full right now that we can't eat them. Fang Wenjin said jokingly.

"Yes, it's sweet potatoes and corn, it's definitely an eye-opener for you today, you have never eaten these things, I have been preparing them for a long time."

"Okay, it's rare that you've been preparing for so long, and we don't care if our stomachs can fit it today, let's let go of it and taste the meal you prepared." Fang Wenjin said with great interest.

When everyone was sitting at the table, Fang Wenjin looked at the large table of dishes in front of him, and asked in disbelief: "Dalun, you said that these dishes are all made of sweet potatoes and corn?" ”

"Hehe, of course, father-in-law, I've been preparing for this for a long time. Come, try this tortilla, how does it taste? Wang Dalun sandwiched a tortilla for Fang Wenjin.

"Nice, it tastes good! How is this done? Fang Wenjin nodded and asked.

"Hehe, I dried and threshed the corn that was first recovered, then ground it into flour and added some flour to make it." Wang Dalun explained.

"Then this nest and all these corn rice are made of ground noodles?" Fang Wenjin asked by inference.

"Yes, you taste it, how does it taste?"

"Well, it's okay, it seems that corn is still good as a staple food." Fang Wenjin said after tasting it.

"Try this dish again, it's fried with peas and corn." Wang Dalun pointed to the dish of "two acres of land" and said.

"Well, it tastes good. And sweet potatoes, why haven't I seen them? Fang Wenjin remembered that he didn't see the shadow of the sweet potato.

"Hehe, father-in-law, you can try this plate of pork stewed vermicelli." Wang Dalun avoided answering.

"Well, why is it different from what you usually eat, is this made with sweet potatoes?" Fang Wenjin took a bite and said.

"Yes, it's made by drying sweet potatoes and beating them into powder. How about you try this shredded sweet potato again? It tastes okay! Wang Dalun pointed to the shredded sweet potatoes and said.

Fang Wenjin tasted it, and then said happily: "Great, great!" Madame, take out that jar of good wine that I treasured, it is worth celebrating today! ”

"What's there to celebrate, I see you, it's the wine bug!" Mrs. Fang Li said angrily.

"Hehe, madam, you don't understand, with this table of dishes, you must celebrate, you must celebrate greatly! Madam, do you know that from now on, these two things can live countless people, and many people will not starve to death! This is a good thing all over the world! The more Fang Wenjin spoke, the more excited he became.

"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, Greetings! With these two things, you're just around the corner! And you'll go down in history! Let the people of the world have enough to eat, this is something that many virtuous ministers can not do, today, you have the opportunity to make it happen! Qian Shijin said excitedly to Wenjin.

"I don't value it much to go to the pavilion to pay respects, and I don't expect to be famous in history, but it is my long-cherished wish to let the people of the world eat enough! As long as I can do this, I will not be this official in vain, and I will live up to the people's honorific title of 'parent official' for me! The more Fang Wenjin spoke, the more passionate he became.

"My lord, I hope to follow you and help you accomplish this great cause!" Qian Shijin stood up, bowed solemnly and said.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is also willing to help you fulfill this long-cherished wish, and I am willing to do everything I can to help you complete this dream!"

Wang Dalun was made enthusiastic by the two, and he also stood up to express his position. At this moment, Wang Dalun's mind is no longer just thinking about money and profit, and his heart is filled with a sense of sacred mission.

"No, Daron, I don't want your money!" Fang Wenjin refused.

Without waiting for Wang Dalun to speak, Fang Wenjin continued: "What I want you to do is very simple, do your best to grow these two things, plant as much land as you can, and plant as many as you can!" I'm going to give the court a big surprise next year! ”

"Dalun, whether you can be promoted or not, whether you can go to the pavilion and pay respects depends on your performance next year. It's up to you to promote the cultivation of these two crops. Qian Shijin said earnestly.

"I will do my best, but I can't guarantee that other landlords will follow suit, after all, everyone has to have a process of adaptation."

Wang Dalun didn't dare to pack a ticket, the scientific and technological information of later generations was so developed, and agricultural promotion was not so easy to do, after all, under the influence of tradition and concepts, it was difficult for people to accept an unknown thing, which took time.

"You try to persuade other landlords, the key is that you are here, don't you have money now, buy more land, and strive to expand the scale." Fang Wenjin also knew the concerns of Daoist Wang Dalun, so he only asked him for a variety of things.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I plan to buy 2,000 acres of land this year, and more than 3,000 acres will be planted by then!" Wang Dalun hurriedly expressed his determination.

"Three thousand acres? It's still a little less! It would be nice to have 10,000 acres! Fang Wenjin said disappointedly.
