022 Wander the streets and encounter artifacts
"Look at the teeth in my mouth, I slapped you out three of them, and they haven't grown back yet. Look at these hands and feet," Jiang Zhen said, pulling up his trouser legs, lifting his back, rolling up his sleeves, and the scars were shocking.
Jiang Yi, who was listening silently next to her just now, burst into tears, stood in front of her younger brother, and said to her cousin and his wife; "My brother is where he is, and whoever wants to force him, first ask me if I agree."
"You little prodigal hoof...... "When my uncle saw Jiang Yi, she thought that Jiang Chunya, who had lived in her house before and was a bully, jumped out and wanted to scold.
"What do you say? Try it again! Bu Ru didn't know when he came over, and stood in front of her with a blue face; Believe it or not, I'll let you be carried back? ”
Jiang Yi's heart warmed, this guy who has always been weak is actually quite tough in his heart, and he will protect his woman.
No matter how strong a woman is, she has an idea, in fact, she also hopes that sometimes, there is a man in front of her.
"Ouch, the people from Jiangjia Village have come here to bully the people of our village!"
The villagers didn't know who shouted, and several people surrounded them with unkind faces.
The uncle was dumbfounded and didn't dare to squeak anymore.
Jiang Zhen stood up side by side, puffed up his chest and said; "Sister, I'm not afraid of them, now I'm an adult, not the one who let these two beasts rub and flatten, no one can care where I go."
Uncle Tang took a step back and pointed at Jiang Zhen and shouted inwardly; "You brainless, you don't stay at home, you came here to make cattle and horses, and all the money you earn is taken by the Bu family, do you think you will be given a penny in the future? Don't be stupid, you won't be back in two years. ”
"I think going back to you is to be a cow and a horse, as for me, you don't have to bother with it in the future, you get out of me now." Jiang Zhen pointed to the road and said to them.
"I'll just wait to see how long you can see the scenery." Embarrassed in front of so many people, the two of them scolded in their mouths, turned around and left.
Jiang Zhen took two steps forward and shouted again; "You can cultivate my family's field, but you must pay rent to me from next year, if you don't want to plant, I will rent it to others."
The two of them didn't look back, and their backs disappeared into the morning mist.
Looking at her brother's back, he has grown a lot stronger in the past month, and he no longer looks like a seven or eight-year-old boy, a bit like a teenager in his early tens, but at this time, she feels that her brother has grown up.
After the small turmoil, Jiang Zhen saw that everyone was also anxious, so he drove the carriage to the town.
Seeing that everyone dispersed, Jiang Yi's good mood early in the morning was affected a lot, but she was soon left behind because the store was too busy.
The next day, because the store was running out of stock, she asked Buru to take care of the store at home, and she decided to go to the town with her brother to buy it.
When I arrived in the town, I happened to meet a person from Xiejia Village who had a batch of goods to pull back, and Jiang Zhen naturally had to pick up a big business, so Jiang Yi had to buy things by herself.
Salt, oil, sauce and vinegar, all kinds of groceries were selected one by one, so the shopkeeper kept them, and said that after coming over to get them and then paying, the shopkeepers of each family were not the first time to trade, and they all readily agreed to help her keep them.
Seeing that there was still some time, she planned to go to the farmer's market.
Approaching the Chinese New Year, at this time, people come and go on the street, one after another, and the goods are dazzling.
When it comes to the ancient version of the farmers' market, it is close to the Chinese New Year, and it is even more lively, and the stalls are fully occupied.
The shouts and bargains rose and fell with each other.
Suddenly, she saw something familiar at a remote stall, and her heart suddenly beat violently.
She hurriedly walked over and took a closer look, this thing was round and long, small two or three fingers in size, larger like a fist, the skin was red and yellow, and there was some dirt, it was the sweet potato that was too familiar in the previous life, also called sweet potato.
She had been in this world for more than a month, and when she saw this thing for the first time, endless surprises came to her heart. You know, this thing was a great artifact in ancient times.
In ancient times, grain production has always been low, and if there are some natural and man-made disasters, the harvest will be lost in minutes.
Nowadays, although the world is peaceful, and the people in the town can almost be said to live and work in peace and contentment, there are still many poor people, not to mention brown rice, even rice bran is hungry and full.
If there is a war and natural disasters, the fields cannot be harvested, food is even more scarce, and starvation is commonplace.
In the previous life, she knew that this thing only appeared in the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and for various reasons, it could not be quickly promoted at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and because of the Xiaoice River period, the grain was not grown well, and as a result, the hungry people rebelled, and were taken advantage of by wild boar skins to occupy the world.
The prosperous era of dried bran advocated by mites in later generations is actually because of the promotion of sweet potatoes, and the people can barely eat enough without rebellion, feeding a group of wild boar skins that are high on the top, to put it bluntly, it is actually a prosperous era of sweet potatoes.
This sweet potato is easy to grow, especially in the weather like the south, where you can hit it in the mountains at will, and the yellow soil that lacks water is no problem.
The main thing is that this thing has a high yield, and during this period, there are no crops that can match the yield of this thing.
As long as it is promoted, this is definitely an artifact of countless living people.
She hurriedly squatted down and pretended not to understand and asked a man who was setting up a stall; "Uncle, what is this thing called? Why haven't I seen it before? ”
The uncle, who looked honest, hurriedly introduced; "Hehe, this is called sweet potato, it was introduced from outside, there are still very few in our town, you can eat it, buy some and go back and taste it, it's soft and sweet when cooked."
"How much is a pound?"
"Eight coppers and a pound." The uncle hesitated before quoting a price.
In fact, he is just a peddler, and after seeing and tasting one in the county, he will bring some back and sell them fresh to see if he can make some money.
"Can it be cheaper?"
The uncle was shocked, he saw that this girl was not very old, although she was dressed simply, decently and cleanly, and there were no patches, but the material of the plain clothes was not exquisite, and she didn't look like an ordinary country girl, but it should be a big family, but she didn't expect to ask for it all.
"If you want to finish it all, I'll give you 7 copper pounds."
Jiang Yi didn't want to say more, and said; "Five coppers, if you sell it, you will weigh it, help me mention the camphor wood pavilion in the west of the town."
It looks like there are dozens of pounds here, and she can't move it.
"Okay." The uncle stood up with a smile on his face and began to pretend to be sweet potatoes.
"You tap, don't throw it so hard." Seeing the uncle rudely put the sweet potatoes into the bag, she immediately felt distressed, these were intended to be planted.
The uncle smiled apologetically.
Jiang Yi thought for a while and said; "Uncle, do you often go to the county seat to do business?"
"Yes."
"Then have you ever seen such a thick and large one in the county, covered with fingernail-sized particles, yellow and clear?" She gestured with her hand.
She describes corn, which seems to have entered the field of vision of ancient people earlier than sweet potatoes, and it is known that this thing entered from the southwest in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and slowly spread to the north.
