Chapter 496: Discussing the Promotion of Sweet Potatoes
"Okay, okay, Brother Shu, let's plane some more sweet potatoes, let's see if this sweet potato is really high-yielding.
Speaking of which, seeing Zishu shaving sweet potatoes, Yu Hua and Zixuan, Xiaoliu and Geng Yi, Geng Er, they were also eager to try, but because they had never shaved sweet potatoes, they were afraid that they would not be accurate, and the tools were limited, so they didn't follow up and shave sweet potatoes with Zishu.
Soon, Zishu also mastered the skill of shaving sweet potatoes, and after digging four sweet potato seedlings in a row, the two baskets brought by Ziluo and the others were full.
"Okay, big brother, these two baskets are enough for our big guys to eat one or two meals, let's just shave these sweet potatoes today." Ah Luo thinks that if these sweet potatoes grow longer, the harvest will definitely be better by then. Seeing this, Ziluo refused Zishu and continued to planh sweet potatoes.
"Okay, listen to Aluo. Of course, Zishu has no opinion when he hears this.
"I didn't think that just like that, just four sweet potato seedlings can harvest these two baskets of sweet potatoes, and I think that this sweet potato will definitely have a high yield as Luo said. ”
Yu Hua held those sweet potatoes and studied them for a while, seeing that there were so many sweet potatoes harvested with only four sweet potato seedlings, guessing the yield of sweet potatoes, he couldn't help but smile so much that he couldn't see his eyes, even Ziluo and the others could feel his obvious joy.
Zixuan, Xiaoliu, Yu Hua and Geng Yi, Geng Er They were also eager to try the matter of shaving sweet potatoes, but they also knew that there was no place for them today, and seeing that Ziluo said that it was here, they had to give up the plan to shave sweet potatoes themselves.
After putting all the sweet potatoes in the basket, under Ziluo's reminder, everyone brought the torn sweet potato seedlings again.
Because people eat sweet potatoes, sweet potato seedlings can also be used to feed pigs, so this sweet potato seedlings do not have to be wasted. Ziluo's family also has a few pigs now, which can be taken back to feed them.
Yu Hua was overjoyed and excited to see that sweet potatoes and even sweet potato seedlings could be used to feed pig poop.
When Ziluo and his party returned home with great interest, the spring flowers, summer lotus, and money that were left at home were not only happy to know that the two large baskets of sweet potatoes were only four sweet potatoes.
When it was time to make dinner, Xiao Liu couldn't wait to propose to eat sweet potatoes tonight.
"Let's eat sweet potatoes at night, third sister, are you okay?" Xiao Liu couldn't wait to propose.
"Uh-huh!" Ziluo also had no opinion when she heard this, and nodded heavily in agreement, speaking of which, she had long wanted to eat sweet potatoes.
"Okay, the slave maid goes to brush the pot. Chunhua on the side saw that the big guys agreed to eat sweet potatoes, so she immediately smiled, and said that she was going to brush the pot.
"I'll go too. Seeing this, Xia He also hurriedly followed to help.
"By the way, Miss Three, what is it going to do with this sweet potato?" Suddenly, the careful Chunhua remembered that they didn't know how to make this sweet potato, so she quickly turned around and asked Ziluo.
"Hehe, it's okay, Sister Chunhua, today Ah Luo personally cooks this sweet potato for everyone to eat, and I will ensure that you all applaud it after eating." Ziluo was also interested when she saw it, knowing that Chunhua and Xia He couldn't cook sweet potatoes, so she said that she would also cook sweet potatoes for everyone.
At dinner, when the big guys, including Chunhua and Geng Yi, they all tasted sweet potatoes, and everyone was conquered by the taste of sweet potatoes, saying that it was a good thing.
After dinner, Ziluo, Zishu, Zixuan, Xiaoliu, and Yu Hua all gathered together.
"Ah Luo, old man, I have seen it today, according to today's harvest, the yield of this sweet potato is really similar to what you said, and the yield of this mu may really be more than 1,000 catties. Speaking of this, Yu Hua couldn't help but be a little excited.
"Really, that's great!" Zixuan was very excited when he heard this, he believed that the output that Yu Hua guessed should not be much worse.
The yield per mu is thousands of catties, which is definitely quite amazing in this era!
It's one thing to guess that sweet potatoes have a high yield, after all, it's just a guess, and sweet potatoes haven't really been grown yet. And now I see that the harvest of this sweet potato is right in front of me, and it really has a yield of thousands of catties.
Therefore, Zishu, Yu Hua and them, of course, except for Ziluo, they were all surprised again at this time.
For a while, when it came to this, the big guys were very excited.
"If we promote this sweet potato, there may be no famine in this world, and no one will be starved to death again, so Mr. Yu, let's promote this sweet potato as soon as possible, okay?" Zishu also sighed with emotion at this time, and looked at Yu Hua expectantly.
Speaking of which, because the family was poor when they were young, Ziluo and her brothers and sisters were hungry, so Zishu still attaches great importance to food.
Now that he sees that there is such a high-yield crop, he also wants everyone to eat it, so that the big guys don't have to go hungry.
"Brother Shu is right, after it is harvested, it is determined that it is really high-yielding, and after knowing its approximate yield, the old man will definitely make it clear to His Majesty that His Majesty will promote this sweet potato. Yu Hua also appreciates Zishu's heart for the world. So where will he refuse, this is also what he is going to do. He has been working hard to produce high-yield crops so that the people of the world can eat their stomachs.
"Doesn't this sweet potato mean that there are already people planting it in the southernmost place?" Zi Xuan said when he heard this.
"Well, I sent a letter to Brother Rong to ask, although there are sweet potatoes in the southernmost area, but there are not many, and we haven't seen them here, so I think this sweet potato still needs us to promote it again in order to be known by everyone. Seeing this, Zishu continued.
"Yes, that's true, this sweet potato is still a rarity, and we should promote it so that more people know about it. When Yu Hua heard this, he also nodded in agreement with Zishu's words.
"Then Mr. Yu, do you have any thoughts on this sweet potato? It won't be long before this sweet potato can be harvested. Ziluo heard Yu Hua say this, so she also asked about Yu Hua's plans.
"The old man wanted to wait for the day of the sweet potato harvest to notify the prefect of Baiyue Mansion, as well as the county magistrate of your Qingyang County, to come over, just like the previous rice field fish farming, when the time comes, we will plow the sweet potatoes on the two acres of land in front of the big guys, and let everyone see the yield of the sweet potatoes in person, so that those officials and the people can be impressed by the high yield of this sweet potato, which is also conducive to our promotion of this sweet potato around Baiyue Mansion in the future." ”
"As for the promotion of sweet potatoes in other places, the old man will tell you all the planting methods of this sweet potato and give it to His Majesty, and then listen to His Majesty's arrangement to see how to promote this sweet potato. ”
Yu Hua listened to Ziluo's questioning, and of course he also told his thoughts and plans.
And when Ziluo heard it, it was really similar to what she guessed, thinking that their family had been rewarded by Emperor Rongsheng before raising fish in the rice field, and I don't know if there was one this time, I think most of them are.
Thinking that there might be a reward at that time, Ziluo couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.
However, all this is good, their brothers and sisters are not short of that reward, and being able to promote sweet potatoes can be regarded as a good thing that their brothers and sisters have done for the people.
Moreover, with Yu Hua here, Ziluo feels that their credit will definitely not be missing.
"Mr. Yu, if there is anything you need help from our brothers and sisters, just tell us. So, Ziluo listened to Yu Hua's words and also expressed her attitude.
"Okay, definitely. The old man is already looking forward to the sweet potato harvest. Yu Hua nodded in response, and then couldn't help but reveal his anticipation for the sweet potato harvest.
"Hahaha, Mr. Yu, you don't have to worry, didn't Ah Luo say that this sweet potato can be harvested in ten days, so let's plan for now, which people will be notified to come and see when the sweet potato harvest is won." Seeing Yu Hua's impatient appearance, Zixuan couldn't help but feel a little funny, and after thinking about it, he thought of how to distract Yu Hua's attention and prevent him from thinking about sweet potatoes.
Yu Hua was really diverted when he heard Zixuan's words, and immediately began to discuss with Ziluo and his brothers and sisters about the matter of shaving sweet potatoes at that time.
............
Finally, it's time to shave sweet potatoes.
On this day, Ziluo, the prefect of Baiyue Mansion, Liang Governor, as well as the officials of Fucheng, Zhong Wannian, the county magistrate of Qingyang County, and the officials of Qingyang County, and the mayor of Gushui Town, all came to Ziluo's house on time early.
Yu Hua's identity is the highest among these officials, including Liang Zhifu, and he is also the confidant of Emperor Rongsheng, so Liang Zhifu and other officials did not dare to hold on to Ziluo after they came to Ziluo's house, and they all gave Yu Hua a salute.
Then, the Liang prefect and the officials, as well as the people who heard the news, and the squires followed Ziluo and Yu Hua to the sweet potato field of Ziluo's house.
"Hey, I don't know what kind of shit luck Brother Shu and his brothers and sisters have taken, I know that I went out of the rice field to raise fish, and now I have planted this sweet potato. Hey, if this sweet potato is also famous, then Brother Shu'er will be there. Before the sweet potatoes were shaved, the onlookers had Ziluo, and some people in their village talked with the people around them with words of envy and jealousy.
"No, it's a great thing to come to the rice field to raise fish, and our big guy also has a lot of benefits, but I also hope that this sweet potato can also bring benefits to our big guy. "Someone pragmatic said.
"The brothers and sisters of the Dong family only came out of that double lift before, and now they have planted this sweet potato, if this sweet potato is really special, then the brothers and sisters of the Dong family really want it. Someone followed.
"You see that this is the prefect and the county magistrate are here, and what Lord Yu is here, I heard that this person is still a high-ranking official, and he can speak in front of the emperor. If you want to have such a big man coming, this sweet potato must be a must-see. A person with some insight also said his thoughts when he heard this.
"Hey, you don't know, this Lord Yu is the Jingguan who came to the rice field and fish farming last time the brothers and sisters of the Dong family made it. Someone who knew Yu Hua's identity stood up at this time to show off that he was proficient in his news.
