When she went to the ground to shave sweet potatoes, she was also very happy to do it, she already knew that it was given by her brother, and she felt proud that her brother could have such a ability.
Although the water monkey has been hiding at the bottom of the river, he also knows a little about the actions of the villagers on the shore, after all, he has received Ye Ming's order to keep an eye on the people at any time, and he does not dare to relax.
However, on this day, he saw the villagers working in the field one by one, but he had never seen the thing that was dug up, and at lunchtime he saw the villagers peeling the skin of the thing and eating it, looking at the expressions on their faces, they were very happy and satisfied, and the water monkey was immediately attracted by that thing.
He also wanted to taste what it tasted like, and it was so delicious that he was so greedy that he secretly left it in the field late at night, dug out a sweet potato, took it to the river, washed it, and opened his mouth to bite it.
The sweet potatoes were sweet, crisp and delicious, and the water monkey was so happy to eat them for a while that he forgot to return to the bottom of the river, and at this moment, Ye Ming's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Is it delicious?"
"Mmmm, it's delicious. The water monkey replied subconsciously.
"Do you still want to eat?"
"Think about it, I've never seen this thing, I never thought it was so delicious and refreshing!" The water monkey replied twice, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look, his expression was wonderful, he hurriedly hid the leftover half of the sweet potato in his hand behind him, and said, "Childe, I ...... One moment greedy, one moment greedy, please forgive the son. ”
The water monkey has also changed his words now, and with Mo Yan calling Ye Ming like that, he forgot to jump into the water first when he ate on the spur of the moment, what a mistake!
He muttered a few words in his heart, and he also knew that he had done something wrong, and he should not go to the people's fields to steal their things to eat, and he happily admitted his mistake.
Seeing this, Ye Ming was very satisfied and said, "If you want to eat, I will let you eat enough!"
"Really, don't you blame me?" When the water monkey heard this, he suddenly became interested, jumping around on the shore, scratching his ears and cheeks, and looking like a wild monkey alive, I really don't know how this is obviously a water monkey.
"Forget it this time, don't steal anything next time. Ye Ming smiled lightly.
"Yes, yes, listen to Childe, Childe take me quickly. As he spoke, the water monkey no longer hid the half of the sweet potato, and took it out and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Ye Ming came to him this time, planning to let him go to his own field to dig sweet potatoes, and his mother would go again the next day in the province, and he would worry about the sweet potatoes being stolen at noon, and he would not go home for dinner.
As soon as the water monkey heard that he was helping the housemother, he was very happy, so he followed Ye Ming and came to the field, Ye Ming taught him how to dig, try not to damage the fruits in the field, and then let him transport the sweet potatoes home, even the sweet potato vines did not let go.
Other villagers are the same, sweet potato vines are also brought home, in addition to sweet potatoes, sweet potato vines can also be eaten, and even if they are not eaten, they can be chopped up to feed poultry, Ye Ming's backyard also has some chickens and ducks raised by his mother, these sweet potato vines can be used to feed them.
Monsters are worthy of being monsters, and they are much faster than ordinary people when they do things, if these jobs are left for their mother and sister to do, I am afraid that they will not be able to dig up in a few days, and under the action of the water monkey, it will be done in two hours, although the work is a little rough, but Ye Ming doesn't care about these, in fact, it doesn't matter if he wants these sweet potatoes or not, but at that time it was distributed in the name of the mountain god, if he didn't give it to his own family, I am afraid that his mother and sister will have an opinion on the mountain god in their hearts.
The next day, my mother woke up and found that the yard was full of sweet potatoes, she was very surprised, and hurriedly found her children to ask what was going on.
At first, my mother didn't believe it, but if this was the case, why did she only help her own family and not all the villagers, and what would she think if others found out.
Ye Ming secretly smiled in his heart and said, "It's all true, last night the mountain god Niangniang gave me a dream, saying that it was not for us to say it." ”
"This ......" Mother still didn't believe it, Ye Ke said: "Oh, mother, my brother won't lie to us, I think it must be the mountain god who helped us dig it!"
In desperation, the mother stopped asking, and the matter passed, and at the same time, in the mansion of the county magistrate of Qingyun County, several people struggled to lift the two large water tanks in front of the county commander, only to see that the vines in the water tank were entangled, and it was the sweet potato vine.
"Sir, are you begin?" asked the butler.
"Well, smash it!" the prefectural magistrate nodded.
With his order, the subordinate who was waiting next to him picked up the sledgehammer and directly smashed the water tank, and the soil inside lost its restraint and scattered all over the ground, only to see a large pile of sweet potatoes in the dirt turning over to the ground.
The housekeeper beckoned his subordinates to pick up the sweet potatoes, rinse them and begin to weigh them, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Master, there is ...... Twenty pounds!"
The weight steward was a little unbelievable when he saw it, so many fruits could grow in one water tank, and the county magistrate was also a little incredulous when he heard it, "You are not mistaken, how can there be so many ......?"
According to the villagers, the mountain god Tuomeng mentioned that this sweet potato yields ten stones per mu, but with the weight in front of him, this is at least fifteen stones per mu.
"Master, that's right, it's really twenty catties, we planted it with heart, sprinkled with cow dung, the yield is naturally higher, if it is planted in the field, it should be a lot less." The butler explained.
"Okay, smash this tank too!" the county commander was very excited.
The subordinate got the order, smashed the other water tank again, and after cleaning it, the county commander weighed it himself, and this tank also had almost twenty catties, he no longer doubted it in his heart, and said: "Cut it quickly and taste it!"
The next person took the knife, cut the sweet potato playfully, the county order tasted a piece, the entrance was shengjin, the taste was sweet, he immediately realized that if he could popularize this sweet potato, it would be a great achievement, thinking that this was given by the mountain god, he couldn't help but say: "Butler, you prepare quickly, I will go to the mountain temple to worship in the near future!"
When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately said: "My lord, you must not do it! As far as I know, the mountain temple in the terraced village has not been sealed by Taoism, it belongs to the obscene sacrifice and evil rituals, and the people are ignorant and can sacrifice to the people. ”
"The butler said it seriously. The county magistrate shook his head and said: "No matter what way she came from, since she gives the people favors, and the people regard her as the god of the mountain, and build a temple to worship, that is the will of the people, the will of the people cannot be violated, if you want the world to be stable, you must obey the will of the people, and this sweet potato can make the people no longer suffer from famine, this is a matter of virtue, she should belong to the god of integrity and wisdom, why can't I worship?"
After speaking, the county commander wanted to turn around and leave, but the housekeeper followed closely and continued to persuade: "Master, leading the officials to sacrifice is a major matter, according to the custom, should we report to the Tianshan Temple?"
"Hmph, I'm a court official, the parent official of the people, I deal with the affairs under my jurisdiction, what does it have to do with those Taoist priests?" said the county commander disapprovingly.
"That's what I said, but ......" The housekeeper wanted to persuade him again, but seeing that the old man had made up his mind, it was useless to say more, and it would not have any effect.
There are demons and monsters in this world, and the identity of the Taoist priest is naturally respected, and within the Great Heavenly Dynasty, there are already more than a dozen Taoists who have been reused, and some even have the right to participate in military affairs.
Not to mention those who are really masters of the Tao, let's just say that the most ordinary Taoist priests, as long as they have some ability, revealing one or two hands of immortal law, their status in the world is also very high, these Taoists can freely enter and exit the officialdom, and have close contacts with the princes and magnates in various places, so the influence in the world is also very large, especially when it comes to the gods and ghosts, they generally have to report to Taoism.
The matter of the county order leading officials to worship the mountain gods naturally involves the gods, and naturally it also needs to be reported.
And if the Taoist priest commits a crime, the government has no right to try it, everything must be notified to the Taoist, let them deal with it themselves, because the power of Taoism in this world is huge, so the officials will generally give three points of courtesy, more than one thing is better than one less thing.
If the county order insists on this, it will not offend Taoism in the end, but it will be much more difficult to get promoted in the future.
