Chapter 137: Uses of Sweet Potatoes
The Su family has become a new landscape in Liulin Village, and even in nearby Jing County, where ox carts pulling grain or transporting sweet potatoes and purple potatoes come in and out every day.
The grain output of more than 100 acres of land is much more than that of other people's 150 acres of land, not to mention that there are so many sweet potatoes and purple potatoes, as well as rice planted near the capital that seems to be more fragrant.
"Girl, the Daxing County Order is here again, this time bringing a lot of officials, and the two masters are receiving them!" Xiao Gudong ran into the house and told Su Xiaoluo.
"In the past two days, I have told my father and second uncle all kinds of food cultivation methods and habits, let them receive them!" The autumn harvest is coming to an end, and Su Xiaoluo plans to build a greenhouse in his backyard to grow vegetables. Lately, whenever she has free time, she has been fiddling with those vegetable seeds, and the wild pepper she planted has grown an inch tall and will soon be able to be transplanted.
When she was tired from work, she would take two white tiger cubs and a red fox up the mountain, and the little squirrels would take them to find wild fruits and nuts, and she would also collect wild soybean and buckwheat seeds when she came across.
"Niu, are we about to enter Beijing!" Shang Yi, that guy is going to act quickly, he should really like Su Xiaoluo after doing so much foreshadowing and preparation! Red Fox struggled every day about whether to tell Su Xiaoluo about Shang Yi's true identity.
"Don't say it, when my sister knows that she has been deceived, she will definitely not spare that guy, and then we will watch the excitement on the side, how good!" I liked to see the excitement of the same and all kinds of the most.
Well, in fact, the red fox thinks so in his heart.
After the sweet potatoes and purple potatoes were harvested, Su Xiaoluo didn't expect the yield of sweet potatoes to be so high, with a yield of nearly 2,000 catties per mu, almost the same as in modern times.
"Girl, you can't put all these sweet potatoes away! If it doesn't come in handy, no matter how high the yield per mu is, it's useful! Seeing Su Xiaoluo's smile and smile, Zixu became more and more confused, these sweet potatoes can't be used as food, are you so happy?
"Sweet potatoes can be used for many purposes, let's pick out the small ones first, wash them and steam them out in a large pot, and dry them for a few days.
Those broken ones are soaked in water, and when I sort out the sweet potato flour method, it can be processed, and after it is done, it can be matched with many dishes, and it tastes smooth and chewy.
Those sweet potatoes with good shape and complete are stored for the next year to make some seeds, and the other part is kept for eating, which can be used to make shredded sweet potatoes, sweet potato balls, sweet potato cakes, sweet potato porridge, and it is good to burn and cook to eat! I don't understand why people reject sweet potatoes so much? "Regardless of whether others accept it or not, Su Xiaoluo still wants to plant sweet potatoes in the coming year.
"What about purple potatoes? Is there so many uses as well? Yingyue asked.
"Beauties, eating more purple potatoes can be beautiful Oh, although purple potatoes are not as versatile as sweet potatoes, but the nutritional value is definitely higher than sweet potatoes, whether it is a woman or the elderly, eating more purple potatoes is good for the body."
Just do it, the next day Su Xiaoluo took the maid to start picking sweet potatoes, and the men sent the intact sweet potatoes to the cellar and put them away.
"Girl, are you brewing any wine?" When Zixu saw those wine jars, his saliva was about to flow down.
"There are still two jars of wine brewed for the first time, and it will be officially completed tomorrow, so let's celebrate in the evening!" Zixu and Yingyue, as well as Sister-in-law Ma and Sister-in-law Jiang, are tired enough and should celebrate.
Zixu was thinking that the matter was almost dealt with here, and the officials who visited also went back, and it was time to send a letter to Xiangye, telling him that Miss Su now had time and could get up and go to the capital.
Shang Yi, who received the letter, entered the palace and told the emperor that he could mention Su Xiaoluo's matter in the early dynasty, and after laying the groundwork, he could make an order to summon her into the palace.
"Shang Xiang, you've worked hard for you recently!" Things in the court were already busy enough, and Shang Yi actually took the initiative to take on the matter of repairing the county lord's mansion, which made Ji Yunyou particularly moved.
"This is the minister's business!" What's the hard work of decorating your future new home, it's too late to be happy!
"Shang Xiang is open-minded and has the style of a gentleman, I will say, you won't worry about the little girl's family, right, if my sister lives in the capital for a long time in the future, she still needs Shang Xiang to take care of her outside, I thank the Prime Minister here." After that, Ji Yunyou really gave Shang Yi a salute.
After calmly accepting the emperor's salute, Shang Yi hummed lightly and turned around and left the imperial study.
His heart is far from being as calm as he appears, he has been in contact with Su Xiaoluo more times, and he has an in-depth understanding of Su Xiaoluo's character, that girl hates others to lie to her the most.
If she knew that she had concealed her identity, would she ignore herself again! The trust and partnership that the two of them had just built up was about to end here.
No, he doesn't allow that kind of situation to happen, and he must not make Su Xiaoluo feel guilty.
After thinking about it for two nights, Shang Yi didn't come up with a perfect plan, he rubbed his forehead and laughed at himself, Shang Yi, Shang Yi, everyone said that you are a genius and a young man, but after meeting Su Xiaoluo, how did you change!
It's not easy to use my brain, and I can't think of ideas that work, all I can do now is to wait for Su Xiaoluo to show his attitude!
Su Xiaoluo has been running up the mountain every day recently, and she can't help it! Every day, there are people in the family who come to ask for seeds of kinship and trust. If she wasn't at home, Grandma and Daddy could blame her for all these things, and if she was at home, she would be half tired of dealing with all those strange problems.
"Girl, someone from Daxing County has come, telling you not to go out tomorrow, wait at home to receive the holy decree." Tinker Bell panted and ran halfway up the mountain to take the bamboo basket on Su Xiaoluo's shoulder.
What a holy decree! Su Xiaoluo was stunned and didn't know what to do to react, Yingyue and Tingyu looked at each other with a smile, and finally waited for the holy decree, they were all waiting for this day in their dreams!
"Tinker Bell, just wait at home, and run up the mountain, don't be too tired to panic!" Su Xiaoluo calmed down and said indifferently.
If there is a holy decree, she will continue, anyway, she has not done anything bad, even if there is no reward such as gold, silver and jewelry, she will not be punished!
It is best to give another piece of land, originally Su Xiaoluo also planned to buy another piece of land in the coming year, if there is a suitable mountain to buy one, it would be good.
In this way, the red foxes have a stable territory, and they no longer have to worry about the hunters, and they don't have to worry about it as soon as they hear that someone is going to Xiaoqingshan.
Medicinal herbs and fruit trees can be planted on the mountain, and gentle places can also be cultivated to grow crops.
Now the days are already very good, Su Xiaoluo doesn't have too many extravagant hopes, too high pursuits, just hopes to farm steadily, use the knowledge he has mastered step by step to make a fortune, protect his relatives, and go out for a walk when he has the opportunity, and this life will be complete.
