Chapter 263: Chen Sheng and Wangmen Widow

Chen Sheng, how to say it, he is not too old to stand, but he gives people a feeling of being through vicissitudes.

When Mu Chonglan saw him, he bowed his hand to Mu Chonglan, completely giving him a cautious feeling, but Mu Chonglan found that he had a good pair of eyes, his eyes were very bright, but with some shadows, as if there was something hidden in his heart.

Mu Chonglan asked about his family history, the ancestor of the Eight Classics was a scholar, but by his father's generation, he had already fallen into the middle of the family, and he originally had a brother who was much older than him, who was a butcher, and then his brother went out and met a bandit and died, he was dragged by his eldest sister-in-law to grow up, and worked hard to get a show, and then there was no high school, so he could only return to his hometown to be a master.

Chen Sheng's words were similar to what Yan Xingsheng investigated, and it can be seen that there was not too much concealment, so Mu Chonglan pondered for a while and felt that this Chen Sheng was quite honest and did not use the identity that Wu Ming made up for him at the beginning, which was not bad.

In addition, Chen Sheng's eldest sister-in-law is a widow, that is, the kind of chaste woman whose husband dies before she is married, this woman is only eight years older than Chen Sheng, and she can rely on doing some small business to cultivate Chen Sheng into a talented man, which shows that the family style of the Chen family is not bad.

It's just that Mu Chonglan has always had some scruples, that is, Chen Sheng has already been established, but he has never been married, and he has not even made a relationship with any daughter, and then thinking of his widowed sister-in-law, Mu Chonglan faintly felt that he knew something, but he didn't break it.

Everyone in the world is bitter, but they can't get the most bitter, Mu Chonglan is already a person who has died once, so he is naturally open to many things, so after seeing the widow woman and seeing that she has no resistance to Chen Sheng, he simply sent her to Qingzhou.

Of course, this is a later story, Mu Chonglan is a manager, so naturally he values the ability to manage things, Chen Sheng, although he was born in Xiucai, but he followed behind the official master, and many things were clear in his belly, so the three stewards went to Qingzhou, and they were suddenly like raising Gu, fighting openly and secretly.

Mu Chonglan is not a ruthless person, and she is most afraid of watching people fight, but Qingzhou is far away, and after she realized that the three stewards did not help each other as she thought, but fought to the death, Chen Sheng had completely cleaned up the other two stewards.

After listening to the investigation, although Mu Chonglan felt that Chen Sheng's methods were ruthless, it was just a matter of thinking about it, after all, if he couldn't be ruthless, he wouldn't be able to bear anything if he really encountered something.

What's more, when she learned the news, the two stewards had already taken Chen Sheng's lead, and she couldn't stop it, so she could only let people keep an eye on Chen Sheng's side to see if he had any strange behavior.

This staring was for a long time, and Mu Chonglan gradually discovered that although Chen Sheng was ruthless, he was still very measured, and he was quite methodical in dealing with things, not to mention that his deed of sale was in Mu Chonglan's hands, and it was still a death deed, so if he really wanted to say it, it was definitely much more reassuring to use Chen Sheng than to use the other two stewards hired, so after Mu Chonglan thought about it clearly, he simply reused Chen Sheng.

"By the way, wait a little later, and let someone send some sweet potato seedlings back." Mu Chonglan said to Su Chengmo.

Su Chengmo was a little surprised: "You mean, the ones you keep in the jar?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Chonglan nodded, according to the development of her previous life, a few years later, her seventh sister Mu Jinse has become a pivotal figure in the court, she will find sweet potatoes from the tribute paid by Fanbang, and then think about what to eat roasted sweet potatoes on a whim, and begin to multiply sweet potatoes in large quantities, but I don't know if the way of planting is wrong, what is planted is something very difficult to swallow, there will be sweet potato tendons that are difficult to chew in it, and the sweet and soft tribute paid by Fanbang is not the same, but even so, It is also because of the large yield and low requirements for the soil, it has been popularized, but most of the people who eat sweet potatoes are poor families, and the sweet potatoes are crushed and eaten together with other grains.

Mu Chonglan likes to go to the sea market very much, when he went to the sea market before, he accidentally found that there were already sweet potatoes being sold, thinking about the soft and glutinous taste he had eaten in his previous life, so he bought it, thinking that after planting a large number of sweet potatoes, he could invest in the back kitchen of Zuixiaolou to develop new dishes, so he asked the person who sold sweet potatoes to ask about planting sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato seller actually didn't grow sweet potatoes at all, but because sweet potatoes were cheap and easy to store, he stored some on his ship, but after months of sailing, he and his crew no longer wanted to eat sweet potatoes, and they didn't want to work hard to carry them, so they simply sold them, thinking that they could collect some costs.

In his opinion, Mu Chonglan may be a big wrongdoer, but in order to sell sweet potatoes to Mu Chonglan, he still told Mu Chonglan what he knew.

In fact, planting sweet potatoes is nothing more than washing sweet potatoes and putting them in water, and then planting the sprouted branches into the soil after germination, which is similar to the method disclosed by Mu Jinse in the previous life, the only difference is probably the external factors such as climate and moisture soil.

Mu Chonglan also understood this, so Mu Chonglan asked a lot carefully, and after getting various definite answers, he bought all the sweet potatoes back.

For others, the difference between climate and soil is really a problem, but for Mu Chonglan, who has mastered greenhouse planting and is good at improving the soil, these are not a problem, so Mu Chonglan easily planted sweet potatoes, and the taste is not inferior to the kind of tribute he had eaten in his previous life.

If there is any pity, it is probably that these bought sweet potatoes have been shelved for a long time, and the best way to plant sweet potatoes is to use fresh sweet potatoes, so Mu Chonglan planted a lot in one go, and in the end, there were not many that sprouted smoothly, and the yield was much less than Mu Chonglan thought, but it was barely enough for Xiao Mansion to taste fresh.

However, Mu Chonglan was not in a hurry, she carefully selected the better ones from the sweet potatoes that were finally planted, and planted them again, and even used many jars in one go, and each jar soaked many tender sweet potato seedlings.

"I will write down the planting method of this sweet potato, as well as the soil requirements, and the time of watering, so that people can bring it with them, and when the harvest is complete, I will store it first." Mu Chonglan continued, what she did was actually a retreat, because Xiao Xiantang said that when there was a problem with the price of grain, she asked her to take out all the food, and that food was what she was going to give her own people to eat, so just in case, she decided to plant a batch of sweet potatoes first as a retreat.

It's like, in her previous life, there was a time when the military salary was delayed, or it was always insufficient, so Xiao Xiantang asked people to plant sweet potatoes as food and grass at the border, and she planned to do the same, not to mention that she thought that the sweet potatoes she had improved were much better than the hard-to-swallow sweet potatoes that Xiao Xiantang gave the soldiers back then.
