In addition, I often go up the mountain to look for things, but unfortunately I don't find anything else except for some spices, such as corn and potatoes, and I am not discouraged about it, and I will go overseas to get it back in the future.

In order to make the sweet potato thing more natural, Yingman finds a night every month to pour some diluted spiritual spring water on the sweet potatoes, so that they can grow better, and will also water some fertilizer on weekdays, so that Zhao Shi said that she is wasteful, and Yingman naturally does this so that the sweet potatoes can break through the soil layer and emerge from the ground, so that the possibility of discovery is greater.

And just as she expected, after the autumn harvest, she could also see some sweet potatoes exposed in the soil, so she called everyone in a fuss: "Daddy, come and see, there seems to be something growing under this pigweed." ”

"What?" Old Man Wang heard the voice and walked over.

"Dad, look, is there something down here?" Ying Man saw Old Man Wang, and immediately pointed to the sweet potatoes under the cut off sweet potato vines, which exposed the soil layer.

"Really, maybe it's the roots. Old Man Wang looked at it, but he didn't care much.

"Are the roots so thick?" Yingman was not surprised to see him like this: "Dad, you said that the roots of radishes can be eaten, is this okay?" ”

After hearing this, Old Man Wang groaned, "Dig it out and take a look, you can go and get the hoe." ”

"Good. Yingman immediately ran to the firewood house on the other side, where all the family's farming tools were placed.

"What's wrong, I just heard you call me. "Zhao only came over at this time, and she was just chatting with the old family.

"It's the hogweed among us that grows strong underneath. Yingman replied, took his hoe and went to the place where the sweet potatoes were planted.

"What's going on?" the other people who were at home also walked over curiously.

In the backyard, the old man Wang had already cut off the vines on the sweet potato, and when Yingman took the hoe, he took it, gestured for a while, and then raised the hoe, hoeed it hard, and then pulled it forward, and brought the soil out.

Seeing this, Yingman hurriedly stepped forward and dug out all the sweet potatoes that had been exposed, all of them were the size of a bowl, both long and short, and there were seven or eight under a sweet potato vine.

"It's a lot, if this can be eaten, we don't have to worry about going hungry after planting this. Yingman looked at the sweet potato and said.

"What is this?" asked Wang Yulu's eyes flashed.

"Hogweed, the leaves can be eaten, and the roots below should not be poisonous. Ying Man replied, knowing what he was thinking by looking at him, and he didn't say anything.

Although Wang Yucong has some arrogance of a scholar, as well as the remaining best traits of selfishness, but it is still within the acceptable range, and Yingman does not mind helping his eldest brother.

"Try it and you'll know, if it's not poisonous, this thing can definitely save thousands of people, I remember this doesn't seem to be too sudden, it can also grow in a big drought. Although Wang Yucong has not been able to pass the exam, it does not mean that he is stupid, and he suddenly took a fancy to the benefits that can be bringed.

"Second one, you go catch a chicken and try it. When Old Man Wang heard this, he also understood a little, and knew that he was not a brainless person who let his son study to change the family, so he immediately ordered.

"Good. Although the second Wang Erhu didn't know why, he was very obedient, but Wang Yuting was a little depressed, the matter of sweet potatoes was known to them, and it seemed that there was no way to exchange this for something.

After the chicken was caught, he fed some finely chopped sweet potatoes, and after a while there was no problem, he took it to boil, and after cooking, he took it to everyone to eat, and the sweet taste made people happy, and several grandchildren were even more gobbling it up, after all, they rarely ate this sweet thing.

"Delicious. Zhao's eyes were also shining.

"Dig up the rest. Old Man Wang said after taking a bite.

"Good. Wang Yuliang nodded, and after eating half of the sweet potatoes in his hand, he went to the backyard with Old Man Wang, Wang Erhu, and Wang Sanhu, and dug out all the sweet potatoes and planted some in the corner.

Obviously, sweet potatoes planted on ridges grow better than those planted in the corners, and they grow bigger, "It seems that this needs to be planted on ridges and have some room to grow well." ”

"A total of 400 catties were collected, which is just a ridge of land plus the corners of the wall, and it is only three points of land. This division refers to the meaning of dividing an acre of land into tens.

"Three points of land, if it is one acre, the output must be more than 1,300 catties. Wang Yuliang quickly calculated the approximate yield, and was a little stunned, knowing that they hardly took care of it, and only occasionally applied some fertilizer.

After waiting for this conclusion, Wang Yucong was really excited, if this was reported, he might be able to be directly accepted by virtue of this.

"How do you want to report it, do you want to tell the county order, the credit will not be swallowed, it won't work if you don't tell it, although this yield is good, but that's all for now, it's better to plant an acre next year." Yingman said, she also learned some words with Wang Yuliang, and she is the only woman in the family who knows how to read, after all, Zhao has always felt that her life is expensive, and it is not good to not know how to read.

They are close to the capital Yingtianfu, but they also belong to a county, but the distance to the county seat is about the same as Yingtianfu, and most of the villagers still prefer to go to Yingtianfu to sell things, in the end it is the capital.

Yingman's search for news in the past few months is not in vain, she wants to promote sweet potatoes, so she naturally has to find a way, so she heard all these clearly.

Wang Yucong was very excited before, and he couldn't wait to report this matter immediately, and calmed down after listening to Yingman's words: "Little sister is right." ”

"Then plant another year next year. Old man Wang saw that his eldest son agreed, and he didn't say anything, but looked at his youngest daughter differently, he originally thought that the old woman's statement of wealth and wealth was nonsense, but now he doesn't think so.

Next, Wang Yucong began to ask Yingman about how to grow this pigweed, but the name was also changed, from pigweed to sweet potato, this is not Yingmanqi, nor Wang Yuting, but Wang Yuliang, maybe that's how the name sweet potato came from.

Yingman also said all kinds of things about planting, Wang Yucong heard that this can be planted as long as it is pruned with vines, and he is even more happy, which means that the demand for this kind of sweet potato for planting melons is reduced, and a lot can be saved.

But apart from this, Yingman didn't say anything else, after all, she was very careless when she took care of it before, if she said one, two, or three at this time, there must be a problem, it is better not to expose it or not to expose it, and save trouble.
