After the sweet potato vine is cut, another person carries it aside, plucks the young shoots and petioles at the tip, cleans them up, and sends them to the kitchen.

Uncle Zhong and the others are all people who are used to doing farm work, and the vegetable field is only the size of one-third of the land, so it didn't take much effort to cut the vines clean.

Then a few men began to dig with their hoes.

When the first sweet potato plant was unearthed, the officials present exclaimed.

The sweet potatoes were the size of two adult men's fists, and each plant could bear three or four, which weighed at least three or five pounds.

Lin Ruan was barely satisfied with the yield of these sweet potatoes, which she had carefully planted, without using her abilities, but she had put a lot of farm fertilizer, and it grew like this, more than twice as small as the sweet potatoes she had seen in her previous life.

However, considering that those sweet potatoes in the previous life were all hybrid varieties that had been improved over many generations, it was reasonable that the yield of this primitive variety could not keep up.

It took nearly half a day for all the sweet potatoes to be dug up.

After washing the soil, he weighed all the sweet potatoes in front of the officials.

When the officials heard the total output reported, they were all stunned.

The sweet potatoes in three thirds of the land have reached more than 1,300 catties!

What a high yield!

You must know that the yield of rice, wheat and bud rice is only a few hundred catties per mu. This sweet potato can have more than 1,000 catties in three points, and then one acre of land, can't there be a yield of three or four thousand catties?

If this sweet potato is popularized, will they worry about food again in the future?

Lin Ruan was very calm, picked up some sweet potatoes and sent them to the kitchen, and at noon today, he used this sweet potato banquet to entertain these officials, so that they could taste the taste of this sweet potato themselves.

There are a lot of foods that can be made with sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, sweet potato cakes, sweet potato rice, sweet potatoes, sweet potato syrup...... In addition, fried sweet potato sprouts and petioles fried meat, as well as cold sweet potato leaves and other dishes, the officials were full of praise.

In the afternoon, Lin Ruan handed over the sweet potato to Chen Zhizhou.

All these sweet potatoes have to be kept as seed potatoes, which is of great significance, although they are kept in the official warehouse for proper storage.

Sweet potatoes are a bit troublesome to preserve, and you need to ensure temperature and humidity, otherwise they are very perishable in winter.

Lin Ruan told Chen Zhizhou all these precautions, and Chen Zhizhou solemnly escorted the sweet potatoes back to Qingzhou City.

The other officials followed.

Xiao Jingchen stayed.

After the idlers and others left, Lin Ruan finally couldn't help but reveal his thoughts: "Why are you so thin?" Didn't you eat well? You're such a big person, why can't you even take care of your own body? ”

Xiao Jingchen looked at her like a little wife with complaining concern, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, pulled her into his arms, hugged her gently, and rubbed his chin against the top of her head: "The situation over there in Huzhou is very bad, more serious than imagined. The inaction of the local yamen has displaced a large number of people, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. If it weren't for the knot you wrote, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out of it now. ”

What's more, he found the people of the king of Chu on the Huzhou side, who were spreading rumors among the people in an attempt to provoke the people's dissatisfaction with the court.

Fortunately, he found out in time and took those people down, otherwise those desperate people might really make a big mess.

After Lin Ruan listened to Xiao Jingchen's words, he couldn't help but scold: "This King of Chu is really stupid and bad!" What good is it for him to stir up the people's hearts at this time? In case the plague spreads throughout the Great Zhou, what good can he get! ”

Xiao Jingchen thought of the King of Chu, and his eyes couldn't help but be cold: "I asked people to investigate the matter of the refugees coming to surround your courtyard that night, and the most suspicious one is the King of Chu." ”

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows: "He already knows that the matter of the Dark Pavilion is related to me?" ”

Xiao Jingchen nodded: "It's likely that Nightmare has returned to him, Ah Ruan, do you want to go to Huzhou with me?" I'm not worried about you being here alone. ”

Lin Ruan thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't go, there are still a lot of things to do here." When I get to Huzhou, I won't help you, but I will distract you. ”

Xiao Jingchen didn't force it, and when he saw that she refused to go, he also complied with her.

The two talked for a while, and Lin Ruan saw that his face was very tired, so he asked him to go to Lin Han's room to rest, and he went to Shenwu Mountain, picked a few ginseng plants, caught chickens and slaughtered them, and stewed chicken soup with his own hands.

In addition, he asked Feixu to ask those brocade guards about Xiao Jingchen's food and lodging in Huzhou, and knew that because he was not used to eating the food there, and the conditions were extremely bad, he was busy with affairs, and he often didn't take care of eating.

So Lin Ruan asked people to go to the county to find out what to remember and get some hot pot base back, put it in a jar and seal it tightly, ready for Xiao Jingchen to take it to Huzhou.

In addition to this, Lin Ruan made some instant noodles again.

The method of instant noodles is not difficult, flour with salt, eggs and water kneaded and rolled into a dough, then cut into thin strips, put in boiling water to cook, and then take out and put it in the oil pan to fry dry.

When Xiao Jingchen woke up, Lin Ruan was making chicken and mushroom sauce.

Dice the chicken and marinate with various spices. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms and cut them into cubes, then fry them in a pot with the marinated chicken to dry the water, and then put them in a jar to seal, this sauce has a lot of salt and can be stored for a while.

Xiao Jingchen stood in front of the kitchen door, watching Lin Ruan busy in the kitchen, and felt a little sore in his heart.

Lin Ruan noticed that there was someone at the door, looked back, and saw that it was him, so he smiled and said, "Woke up?" I stewed ginseng soup for you, you drink a bowl first. ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his feet and entered the kitchen, and glanced at the green calyx that was burning the fire.

The green calyx quickly got up and let go out, and Xiao Jingchen sat on the pony in front of the stove, and replaced the green calyx to add firewood to the stove.

Lin Ruan looked at his somewhat clumsy but extremely serious appearance, smiled, turned around and handed him a bowl of chicken soup, and when he took it, he continued to turn over the sauce in the wok.

The two of them were like a young couple from an ordinary family, chatting about inconsequential topics in the kitchen, which made Feixi, Luohua and Yigan Jinyi Wei dumbfounded.

Their wise and martial prince is actually burning a fire!!

This is back to Kyoto, and those famous daughters are afraid that their eyes will be shocked!

Due to the situation in Huzhou, Xiao Jingchen could not stay in Yulin County for a long time, so early the next morning, Xiao Jingchen took his men and horses and prepared to return.

Lin Ruan handed him the things he had prepared last night: "Soak the instant noodles in boiling water, get some hot pot base and mix them to eat, the mushroom and chicken sauce sandwiched in the steamed bun is the most appetizing." When the ginseng slices are fine, take a tablet in your mouth to replenish your vitality. ”
