Chapter 495: Harvesting Sweet Potatoes

"Xiaoliu wants to take the top prize?" At this time, Yu Hua came in from outside the door, and after listening to Ziluo's words, he smiled and teased, and then continued: "This is a good thing, but if you really want to take the top prize, you still need to continue to work hard. ”

I have to say that Yu Hua has always admired Xiao Liu very much, and during the time when Ziluo and the others went to Fucheng, Yu Hua taught Xiao Liu alone these days, and now he attaches more and more importance to Xiao Liu.

So Yu Hua is also a lot of intimacy with Xiaoliu, and now I heard Ziluo and them ridiculing that they wanted Xiaoliu to take the top prize, so Yu Hua interjected like this to teach Xiaoliu.

"Mr. Yu!" Seeing Yu Hua come in, Ziluo, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu hurriedly stood up and took care of Yu Hua.

And Xiao Liu listened to Yu Hua's previous words and responded respectfully, thanking Yu Hua for his teachings.

Speaking of which, for Yu Hua's title, Ziluo and their daughters except for Yu Hua who just arrived at their house a few months ago, they called Yu Hua Yu at the beginning because of politeness, and Ziluo in front of outsiders Ziluo They would also call Yu Hua Yu, but now Ziluo and they began to call Yu Hua and Mr. Yu as always.

"Okay, okay, Brother Shu, Brother Xuan, Xiaoliu, you are all smart children, as long as you maintain the momentum of working as hard as you are now, I believe you will have greater achievements in the imperial examination in the future. ”

"However, Brother Shu'er, Brother Xuan'er, and Xiaoliu, although your brothers have good results in the current scientific examination, and even Brother Shu'er has obtained the solution to the yuan in this autumn exam, you must also know that learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Otherwise, there are so many outstanding people, and if you don't work hard, it's not impossible for you to be trampled on. ”

Yu Hua saw that Ziluo's brothers and sisters, as well as Xiaoliu's attitude towards him was extremely respectful, and he didn't have the slightest impatience with him, so after thinking about it, he still said what he wanted to say one by one.

However, after finishing speaking, he also had some regrets, although he knew that he was not a person from Ziluo's brothers and sisters, and he was afraid that he would give Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu what they said would make Ziluo and them have nothing to hide.

However, then he thought about it again, and said it without saying it, so he simply took the opportunity to try the character of Ziluo's brothers and sisters.

If Ziluo and the others are impatient with him or don't hide it because of this, then it will be regarded as he has seen the wrong person, and they will be far away in the future.

Of course, if Ziluo and his brothers and sisters were not bored by his verbosity, but listened carefully, even if they disagreed with his statement, they would not have opinions and dissatisfaction with him, then he would definitely be more attentive to them in the future.

Fortunately, Yu Hua was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he waited quietly for Ziluo's answer, seeing that Ziluo's brothers and sisters not only did not show a trace of dissatisfaction when they heard his words, but also respected him even more, and their attitude towards him became more intimate. So, he also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he really didn't see the wrong person.

Besides, Ziluo and their brothers and sisters listened to Yu Hua's above words, although they were not good, but they were thinking about Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu from the bottom of their hearts, and knew that Yu Hua really cared about Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise people would not tell them these words that might offend people.

Of course, she also understands this truth, so after listening to Yu Hua's teachings, they have a little more respect for Yu Hua from the beginning, as if they were trusting and intimate with the elders in the family.

And Yu Hua saw that Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu listened to his words, and Ziluo and their brothers and sisters were also closer to him than before, and his heart was relieved and happy, and then he told Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu that they should insist on reading, and after persevering in reading, they then thought of the sweet potatoes in the field, so they turned to Ziluo on the side and asked: "Ah Luo, the old man has been planting sweet potatoes in the field for more than three months, Ah Luo, didn't you say that this sweet potato can be harvested in three or four months after planting?" So can we harvest our sweet potatoes too?"

Speaking of the sweet potato harvest, Yu Hua was irrepressibly excited and excited, and the louder he spoke, he even rubbed his hands after speaking, and then waited nervously for Ziluo's answer.

Ziluo knew that Yu Hua was obsessed with agriculture, and when she saw it, she also understood his excitement at this time.

So, seeing that, she didn't sell it anymore, and said truthfully: "Well, Mr. Yu, you are right. This sweet potato is usually planted for 100 days, and it takes 120 days so that it can be harvested. And our sweet potatoes have been planted for about 100 days now, so they are almost harvested. ”

Speaking of this, Ziluo thought about it and continued: "Ah Luo thinks that in a few days, we can plane some sweet potatoes out first, so that we can guess the approximate yield of this sweet potato in advance, and we can also have a bottom of the yield of this sweet potato in our hearts." And also...... Hehe, we can also taste this sweet potato in advance. ”

Of course, Ziluo has eaten this sweet potato in modern times, but after all these years, she now misses the taste of sweet potatoes very much. So seeing that the sweet potatoes were almost ready to be harvested, of course she wanted to taste them too.

Of course, there is a more important reason why Ziluo proposed to harvest some sweet potatoes in advance.

She knew that if this sweet potato really had the expected high yield, then of course Yu Hua would make it clear to the imperial court and let the sweet potato spread in the Great Qi Dynasty.

At that time, in order to prove the high yield of this sweet potato, when harvesting sweet potatoes, it will definitely be dug out in the presence of many relevant officials and ordinary people, just like in the rice fields and fish farming in the past, and the output will be counted in the presence of everyone.

Because of this, you can save a lot of trouble, and the fact that sweet potatoes have a high yield can be more admirable, and you are not afraid of what small actions someone will do.

Therefore, based on these, Ziluo proposed this matter of planing sweet potatoes in advance, so that they can know the approximate yield of sweet potatoes in advance, and when the time comes to really plane all the sweet potatoes, there will be no accidents in front of everyone.

Think about it, if they don't have a bottom on the yield of this sweet potato in advance, then if there is any accident in the yield of this sweet potato in front of everyone, then the scene will be difficult to clean up.

Zishu, Zixuan, Xiaoliu, and Yu Hua listened to Ziluo's words, of course, they also understood Ziluo's worries.

So, after Yu Hua figured it out, he nodded and said, "Ah Luo is reasonable, then let's shave some sweet potatoes back in a few days." This is also good for the old man to see the high yield of this sweet potato, and as Ah Luo said, it is also good to taste whether this sweet potato is delicious. ”

Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu listened to Ziluo, and Yu Hua said this, of course they also agreed to come back with some sweet potatoes in advance.

So, after some discussion, the big guy set the day for shaving sweet potatoes, and at that time, they just finished entertaining those people who came to congratulate them, and then their brothers and sisters could also help Yu Hua harvest this sweet potato wholeheartedly.

Time flies, and the day finally arrives for shaving sweet potatoes.

Speaking of which, Zishu, Zixuan, Xiaoliu, and Yu Hua have never eaten this sweet potato, so they don't know if this sweet potato is delicious, they are just curious, but Ziluo has eaten sweet potatoes, and she knows how delicious this sweet potato is.

Therefore, compared to Zishu, Zixuan, Xiaoliu, and Yu Hua, Ziluo wants to taste this sweet potato more.

No, on the day of harvesting sweet potatoes, Ziluo was also very active in following Zishu, and Yu Hua and them went to planing sweet potatoes.

I have to say that among Ziluo, Ziluo is the most familiar with sweet potatoes, followed by Yu Hua, and then also has a great interest in agriculture, and has been following Yu Hua's research to plant this sweet potato seed.

Therefore, Yu Hua and Zishu have no opinion on Ziluo's going to the field to see the sweet potatoes.

I don't know why they always feel that Ziluo is present, and they will be more sure about the matter of shaving sweet potatoes.

Although it was time to harvest the sweet potatoes, the cautious Yu Hua and Zishu were still afraid that there were some things that needed attention in the sweet potatoes that they would not notice.

So, Ziluo and Yu Hua took Geng Yi, and Geng Er and the others soon brought the tools for shaving sweet potatoes to the sweet potato planting field not far from the house of the brothers and sisters.

When they came to the field, Ziluo and the others walked into the sweet potato field one after another.

"Big brother, let's start!" Ziluo said a little impatiently.

"Okay, let's get started. Zishu picked a ridge as he spoke, and under Ziluo's command, he first pulled away the sweet potato seedlings, and then began to plane them with an iron pickaxe.

"Wow, there are really sweet potatoes!" Seeing that under the action of Zishu, two large sweet potatoes were quickly dug out, and Xiao Liu on the side couldn't help but exclaim when he saw it.

Seeing this, Zishu also put the iron pickaxe aside, squatted down and took one of the sweet potatoes in his hand, and then said in surprise: "I think this sweet potato may have nearly a catty, this is really a good thing." ”

"Big brother, let's take a look too. "Seeing the high-yield crops, of course, everyone is also happy, and as soon as Zishu finished speaking, Xiaoliu excitedly said that he wanted to pick it up and take a look.

"Give!"

Xiao Liu took one of the big sweet potatoes from Zishu's hand, and Yu Hua also stepped forward excitedly to take the other sweet potato when he saw it.

"This is really a pound, Ah Luo, is this the sweet potato you are talking about?" Yu Hua finally saw the dug sweet potato at this time, and held it in his hand in person, where can he still be happy.

"Mm-hmm, we're in for a big deal today. Ziluo also smiled when she saw it. At this time, she was also happy.
