Chapter 239: Harvesting Sweet Potatoes
Star fruit arrived at their own field early, watched the villagers each carry a hoe, and began to teach after gathering a team.
Star fruit was afraid that the villagers would not move, hurt the skin of the sweet potato, and it would be difficult to store it in the coming year, so she carefully taught everyone how to avoid pickaxe injuries.
First of all, the sweet potato seedlings crawling all over the ground are curled up into a ball, and then the rhizomes connected to the ground are cut off with iron tongs, and the sweet potato seedlings are successfully separated from the ground.
After a while, everyone worked hard to make a small piece of open space, and watched the ridges of ground appear.
Someone asked strangely: "Peach, you have finished pulling sweet potato seedlings, why is there nothing on the ground, don't be deceived, this is more than a dozen acres of fertile land, why don't you see sweet potatoes, where is it?" ”
Carambola smiled and looked up and replied, "Don't worry, everyone! I saw it in a moment. ”
She took the hoe back and went down the back of the ridge next to the ridge, and when she pulled hard, she saw a sweet potato as big as a big foot sticking out of the ground.
Someone shouted in amazement: "Something is exposed, it turns out that a big guy has hidden under the ground." ”
Everyone took a closer look, the size is not small, the peach has seen sweet potatoes, and the size did not expect to be so big.
In her previous life, she was not uncommon, she was a smaller one, and when she got here, that thing was very expensive, not everyone could eat it, and even she had eaten it many times.
She looked at the villagers one by one and shouted, "This is the sweet potato!" This is the new product that I planted with the county lord and Dr. Lu, and it is a delicacy that can only be eaten by the emperor of the capital. ”
Star fruit just said a little miraculous, and did not explain the way to eat and the value of this sweet potato, before finding a suitable buyer, she did not want to say the value of these things, lest some unscrupulous people have bad intentions about these things.
Everyone rolled the potato seedlings into a ball, and then waved their pickaxes, according to Peaches, turned out the sweet potatoes the size of a child's brain, and the rows of sweet potatoes were lying in the ground, like soldiers in a row, and it was gratifying to look at.
Lu Qiyu took Liu Yancheng's brothers and sisters, as well as He Qiaowei, the young owner of Liuhelou, to Yangjia Village and stunned the people of Yangjia Village.
For more than a year, Lu Qiyu and Yang Xiangqiao's affairs have been in an uproar, but I didn't expect her Yang family to lose her hooves and look away, the boss of this Huichun Hall actually got acquainted with Kuo Shao in the capital, the owner of Piaoxianglou in the town, looking at the young man's clothes, he was not the son of a poor family.
Peaches is really discerning, she didn't cut off contact with Dr. Lu, and she cooperated with them, and she would definitely not let a girl's family suffer.
I don't know if this red guy like a lump of dirt is worth anything, but looking at this yield, it is still quite high, and it costs about 2,000 catties.
Star fruit didn't expect that Lu Qiyu would bring it to Liu Yanxiu's brothers and sisters, and after meeting, Liu Yancheng said jokingly: "I haven't seen you for a few months, why are peaches alienated from me, look at your posture, sweet potatoes are a bumper harvest, congratulations, you can grow such an effect in the first year." ”
Carambola smiled without etiquette: "Welcome Brother Liu to Yangjia Village for inspection, welcome the two important restaurant owners in the town to come to the house as guests, my family is shabby and poor, so I won't let a few big bosses go in as guests." ”
Liu Yanxiu listened to it and smiled: "Peach, you really hold a grudge, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't laugh at you, I shouldn't take your things as a joke, I want you to make amends, okay?" ”
Carambola ignored her words, looking at the four of them with extraordinary weapons, maybe the life in the countryside is suitable for her.
Yang Junshan saw those people coming, and hurriedly stepped forward, he didn't want Peaches to be ridiculed by these people again, so he came to Carambola and said politely to a few people: "Qiyu is here, we have already started construction, and we have taught some experience and talents, and if you come, let Liu Gongzi point and point, after all, people are experienced." ”
After Yang Junshan finished speaking, he protected the star fruit behind him, such a move stung Lu Qiyu's eyes, their father and daughter now want to treat themselves as a flood beast, they haven't seen them for three months, and she has already regarded herself as a stranger in her heart.
He Qiaowei has a hearty personality, and when he saw Yang Junshan for the first time, he said: "Uncle Yang, I was offended a lot last time, it was all a misunderstanding, today I came to buy sweet potatoes, I heard that the peach girl started construction today, so I came to buy it directly." ”
Star fruit suddenly understood the intention of the two big bosses, but she wanted the people to get rich together, and if she wanted to be well-off together, she had to mobilize the masses to plant together, and she still had to limit their purchases.
Yang Junshan listened, although he was not hostile to him, but he also said that he was the only one who laughed at her that time.
"He Gongzi, I don't have the right to speak on this, after all, this sweet potato is not grown by my peaches alone, and I have to wait for the Yin family to be present."
He Qiaowei listened, nodded again and again, and said, "That's natural, of course, the three must reach an agreement." ”
Yang Junshan pointed to the uncle on the ground and said, "A few of you can go there directly to rest for a while, and Peaches and I won't accompany you." ”
After saying that, he took his daughter to work together, Liu Yancheng kept looking at the father and daughter with a smile, and muttered: "No, the father and daughter were polite and enthusiastic to me last time, why are you suddenly so cold to us today." ”
He looked back at Lu Qiyu and wanted to ask, so He Qiaowei opened his mouth to tell her about teasing her last time, as well as some things he inquired about later, such as kidnapping, and the humiliation brought to her by the subsequent negotiation of peace.
Liu Yancheng looked at his sister-in-law, her face was a little ugly, and said: "I see, no wonder the father and daughter are so restrained to outsiders now, it turns out that you are all causing trouble." ”
He didn't go with them, rolled up his sleeves and ignored the silk shirt on his body, came to the peach father and daughter, and said with a smile: "I'm not here to buy sweet potatoes, I'm just here to see old friends, let's join the ranks of work together." ”
Yang Junshan was a little embarrassed, looked at his clothes and said, "Liu Gongzi, don't dirty your clothes." ”
"It doesn't matter, what do you think I do, I farm for the emperor's family, to put it bluntly, I am a farmer, just like you, but the location of the crops is different."
Yang Junshan listened, and it was the same reason, when he went to the field, he was working with his back to the loess, but the purpose of planting was different.
Star fruit thought, the same farming, but you are a rich family who has eaten official food, we are indeed the poor people at the bottom, is it the same?
"If you like to do it, but there is no salary, and those of us who work here must have an appointment in advance, and if the quota is full, it will be considered free labor."
"Just take care of the food, I will reflex when I see the work, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't pick up the hoe, it seems that I can't get out of this yellow earth in my life."
When Yang Junshan heard this, he just smiled, this kid looked unpretentious, without a frame, hundreds of times stronger than the young master of the Yin family before, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he relaxed his vigilance.
