Chapter 524: Digging Potatoes
"I went to the front yard to get my dad to come over and get people to start digging potatoes. ”
Thinking of letting the slaves dig potatoes here, Yu Wenze and they would definitely be watching from the side, so Zhang Xiaoxue went to the shade behind the house and took out a small coffee table from the space ring, as well as a few benches.
"Brother Ze, you sit here and wait for a while. ”
While speaking, Zhang Xiaoxue took out another set of tea sets, brewed tea, and took out a share of grapes, so that Yu Wenze and the others could sit here and drink tea.
"Okay, hurry up and let someone dig up the potatoes, let's see what the yield of potatoes is per mu. ”
Hearing that Zhang Xiaoxue was going to the front yard to call someone to dig potatoes, Yu Wenze readily agreed.
Zhang Xiaoxue went to the front yard and saw that Zhang's father accompanied his grandfather and uncle, as well as the third and fourth uncles, all sitting at the stone table under the shade of the jujube tree in the yard and waiting.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoxue coming back, Zhang's father stood up first and asked, "Xue'er, can His Royal Highness King Yan come with you?"
"Dad, His Royal Highness King Yan, Brother Ying, and Fat Brother are here, and they are in our backyard, so hurry up and find some people to dig out the potatoes? ”
The conversation between Zhang Xiaoxue's father and daughter made Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather and uncle feel very strange, and they didn't know why Zhang Xiaoxue suddenly came out of the backyard of the house, and I didn't see them coming in from the door just now?
However, no matter when you come in, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that His Royal Highness King Yan is already waiting in the backyard of Zhang Xiaoxue's house.
He couldn't let His Highness wait too long, so Father Zhang arranged for Tian Shisan, who was working in the yard, to go to the field and call 50 slaves back so that they could go home and harvest potatoes.
After arranging to call someone, Zhang's father and Zhang Xiaoxue went to the backyard, and by the way, they also carried the scales borrowed from the clan.
Father Zhang has seen Yu Wenze's true face, and when he saw it again, he couldn't help but admire in his heart, he was really a handsome and good man, just sitting there, he had a noble and extraordinary temperament, which was completely different from them, farmers who often dealt with the soil.
And Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather and uncle, they have never seen the true face of His Royal Highness King Yan, although the last time Yan Wang Yu Wenze was at Zhang Xiaoxue's house, they also ate at the same table, and they had seen themselves, but at that time, Yu Wenze had a mask on his face.
The first time they saw such a good-looking man, their hearts were also full of shock, but of course they didn't dare to show it on their faces, for fear of upsetting the nobles.
Yu Wenze's identity is too high for them farmers, and Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather also showed a panicked expression on his face, and when he came to meet him, he was a little restrained and couldn't let go of his hands and feet.
Yu Wenze didn't feel embarrassed, because he knew that they were all relatives of Zhang Xiaoxue, and Yu Wenze's conversation with them was also quite polite.
Father Zhang was on the side, seeing that Yu Wenze was not wearing a mask this time, and it seemed that he was not afraid of revealing his identity, so he thought in his heart, whether to let the patriarch and the clan elders come here to see His Royal Highness King Yan.
In the end, it was decided that it would be safe to ask His Highness, "Your Highness, look, do you want to call the patriarch and patriarch of our village to come over, you came over today, I didn't inform them." ”
Yu Wenze came over this time, and he didn't think about hiding his identity, the main reason is that this trip was sudden, and people who had the heart to consider his whereabouts would not have thought that he would suddenly come to the village of this remote town, and it would not cause trouble to Zhang Xiaoxue's family.
Thinking of potatoes, a high-yield crop, today we can know what the yield per mu is? Zhang Xiaoxue's family also grows a lot of potatoes.
Most of them didn't reach harvest time, but soon after, when their family harvested potatoes, the people in the village would surely know about it.
For the patriarch and patriarch of their village, it would be okay to know earlier, and he came to Zhang Xiaoxue's house as a guest as King Yan, so that he could also give their parents some face, so that the people in the village would have more respect for their family.
Why don't they come and see together what is the yield of such a high-yielding crop?
After today, he will report the yield of potatoes per mu to his father, but he doesn't have to carry people on his back, and he just wants to know what the yield of potatoes is per mu?
"It's okay to let them come over, just in time to witness with us what the yield of potatoes is per acre?"
"Well, well, I'll have someone to inform them. ”
Zhang's father happily agreed, and let Zhang Xiaoxue's fourth uncle Zhang Zhenhai run away.
The two parties exchanged pleasantries together, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed, and the slaves came over with hoes in time.
Yu Wenze, Yingda and Fat Man, when they saw the slaves who came over against the hoes, a trace of incredulity flashed in their eyes.
When Zhang Xiaoxue chose a slave at that time, Yu Wenze chose it with her, what was the state of the slave like at that time?
I haven't seen them for more than a month, but I didn't expect these slaves to be like the descendants of the manor in the big family.
The slaves were all dressed in neat clothes, although they were linen, they were all smiling, and their mental outlook was very good, and they did not have the kind of dull eyes and loveless state.
Yu Wenze couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaoxue beside her, looking at her smiling face, knowing that the reason why these slaves are living so well must be the idea of her master, she is really a kind girl, and even slaves who are inferior to livestock are treated as human beings by her.
With this realization in his heart, the corners of Yu Wenze's mouth curled up even without him knowing, and he looked at Zhang Xiaoxue's gaze, which became more gentle.
Because potatoes are a kind of crop that no one here has ever seen, Zhang Xiaoxue has dug up a potato plant, and she can be regarded as an experienced person, so she opened her mouth and said it to the slaves.
"When digging potatoes, you don't have to be in a hurry, you must be slow, be careful, and try not to break the skin of the potatoes.
If you break the potato, it will not last long and will spoil quickly, so when you dig, dig deeper. ”
When the slaves heard Zhang Xiaoxue's instructions, they quickly agreed, and carefully went through the precautions that Zhang Xiaoxue said in their hearts.
Everyone made up their minds that they must do what their master told them to do, and they must not spoil the potatoes they planted.
