Shopkeeper Li replied: "Back to the young master, Village Chief Li doesn't look like he is lying. Do you want to let Village Chief Li come in and talk about the specific situation? ”

"Okay, bring it right away. Grandmother, I'll go see you. Lord Qin Cha Gu said with a smile, looking forward to it.

He has always believed that the people of Lijia Village are tenacious and intelligent. Especially the woman named Liu Pan'er, who is definitely not a person who made something out of nothing.

Old Madam Gu smiled and waved her hand, "Let's come over and talk back, with an output of four or five thousand catties, I'm also quite curious, what is it?" ”

When Lord Qin Cha Gu heard this, he nodded, "That's okay, Sun Er asked someone to bring it here to reply." ”

The servant should go out and preach.

The maid moved swiftly, sweeping the teacup fragments on the floor.

After a while, Village Chief Li and his son Li Yuanjia were brought in, and the servants behind them were carrying a basket with a basket of sweet potatoes that had just been dug up today.

Village Chief Li and his son Li Yuanjia knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lord Gu, "Lord Gu, please say hello to you." ”

Lord Qin Cha Gu said in a deep voice: "Get up, you don't have to kneel down and bow in the future, just bow and salute." Tell me what's going on with these sweet potatoes? ”

Village Chief Li plucked up his courage and said slowly: "Looking back, my nephew and daughter-in-law Liu found that the sweet potatoes that her family first planted were ripe. I hired people from the village to help dig and found that the yield was very high. Mr. Gu has the people in his heart, and he must be very concerned about high-yield crops, so our father and son specially came to the county seat and asked Mr. Gu to identify on the spot, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”

When Lord Qin Cha Gu heard this, he nodded, he heard Li Dabao say last time, "Then I'll go and see tomorrow, how to eat this sweet potato?" ”

Village Chief Li replied: "Wash it and cook it directly, or you can bake it in the stove and eat it, or you can steam it, add glutinous rice flour, steam it, or fry it in an oil pot." ”

These are all told to him by Liu Paner, and Village Chief Li remembers them firmly.

Lord Qin Cha Gu walked over, stretched out his hand and picked up a palm-length sweet potato, observed it carefully, and nodded, "You have a heart, follow the servant down to eat and rest, and tomorrow morning, the official will go to Lijia Village with you to have a look." ”

Seeing that Master Gu was willing to go, Village Chief Li's heart was furious, this time the Yuan Qing family and Li Family Village were able to make meritorious contributions again.

"Thank you, Lord Gu." Village Chief Li is sincerely grateful, he is so lucky to be able to live in the Gu family, he doesn't have to stay in a guest house, he doesn't have to worry about it, and he doesn't have to spend money.

The most important thing is that Village Chief Li feels that he has a closer relationship with Lord Qincha Gu.

If you have the government as a backer, you will not be bullied when you come to the county.

On the way out, Village Chief Li thanked Shopkeeper Li vigorously, "Thank you Shopkeeper Li for running for us, it's hard work." ”

Shopkeeper Li is a good person, so he naturally saw that this Li Family Village was very helpful to the young master's career, and he was quite polite, "Brother Li, don't be polite." If you come to the county seat in the future, you must come to talk to my brother. Something, just open your mouth. I may not be able to help with big things, but small things, I have been working in the county for so many years, and I still know some people. ”

What Village Chief Li wanted was this, and he became more and more respectful and polite, "Thank you Shopkeeper Li, I have written it down for your kindness." ”

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Li gladly responded.

Shopkeeper Li left and went back to the delicious building.

Village Chief Li and Li Yuanjia were taken to the guest house by the servants, who brought them dinner and were polite to them.

Mrs. Gu walked over, looked at these sweet potatoes, and said with a smile to her grandson: "That tomato scrambled egg and tomato egg drop soup are quite good, I like to eat them very much." This Lijia Village sent this novel sweet potato again, let the kitchen try it, let's eat this tonight. ”

Lord Qin Cha Gu nodded, "Okay, I want to try it too." If it can be used as food, it is really a great auspicious fortune for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Old Madam Gu was slightly stunned, thinking that if this was true, after her grandson reported to the imperial court, it would be promoted and planted by the imperial court, and many people would be able to eat enough, which would be a great achievement.

Looking at the grandson's appearance, which is somewhat similar to his deceased husband, the scholarly righteousness on his body is very gratifying, "Good boy, read the books of sages and make decisions for the people, this is what your grandfather did when he was alive." ”

Lord Gu smiled, "Inheriting my grandfather's legacy, being an official is to be the master of the people." ”

"Good!" Old Madam Gu nodded with satisfaction and continued to chat about Lijia Village.

She was very curious about the things in Lijia Village in the process of escaping the famine, and the people of Lijia Village avoided danger again and again, and finally insisted on settling in Cuiyang County, and obtained household registration by clearing the wasteland.

This is a group of hard-working people, and there is a good village chief, and there is a woman who has a lot of insight and luck.

After getting the sweet potatoes in the kitchen, I quickly made steamed sweet potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, and ground the steamed sweet potatoes into sweet potato puree, added glutinous rice flour, wrapped in desiccated coconut, and fried into minced coconut sweet potato cakes.

The old lady likes to eat wine-stuffed meatballs at night, and the chef in the kitchen also made sweet potatoes into sweet potato balls and made sweet potato wine-stuffed balls.

In the evening, Mrs. Gu looked at the meal made with sweet potatoes on the dinner table, her eyes were full of curiosity, and she drank a small bowl of sweet potato wine stuffed meatballs, which were fragrant.

Lord Qin Cha Gu ate steamed sweet potatoes, reached out and took a sweet potato, and peeled off the purple-red skin on the outside, revealing a golden sweet potato pulp, wrapped in a sweet fragrance that smelled like a boiled chestnut.

I have to say that Qin sent Lord Gu the truth.

This is exactly what chestnut sweet potatoes are!

Lord Qin Cha Gu took a bite gently, it was soft, sweet, fragrant, and delicious.

He tasted the roasted sweet potatoes again, and the taste was a little different from the steamed sweet potatoes, but the aroma was richer and sweeter.

Sweet potato wine stuffed meatballs, he also ate a bowl, slippery, bouncy. The last thing to eat is the coconut sweet potato cake, which is crunchy on the outside and sweet and glutinous on the inside.

No matter which way you eat it, Lord Qin Cha Gu thinks it is delicious.

Mrs. Gu praised, "Yes, if it can be grown in other places, and the yield is high, it is really a good thing." ”

Lord Qin Cha Gu thought deeply, "That's true, my grandson will come over early tomorrow morning to have a look." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Lord Qin sent Gu to eat some breakfast casually, and did not go to Lijia Village to take a carriage like last time, this time he was in a hurry and rode directly.

Village Chief Li and Li Yuanjia drove the ox cart and came back slowly, unable to catch up with Lord Qincha Gu, who was riding a peerless horse.

However, they also saw from the eagerness of Lord Gu that Lord Gu attached more importance to sweet potatoes. The high yield and deliciousness of sweet potatoes and the advantages of filling the stomach had a great impact on the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As soon as the city gate opened, Lord Gu took Gu San and several other guards with strong martial arts to gallop over on horseback.

The early morning mist wet Lord Gu's eyebrows, but he looked into the distance with a firm look in his eyes.

He always remembered that his grandfather used to hold him and teach him to read.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.

Now he has the opportunity to help the world, and he can't afford to miss it.

The horseback riding speed was fast, and after a little more than an hour, I arrived at Lijia Village.

Liu Paner happened to have breakfast and was about to go to the field to pick melons and melons, and today was the day when Mrs. Wu from the grain store sent someone to buy melons.

Li Dabao's eyes were sharp, and he saw someone riding a horse at the entrance of the village, although he couldn't see it clearly, but Li Dabao guessed that it was Lord Gu, "Mother, look, Lord Gu is here." ”
