The village chief, Li Yong and Liu Darttou, as well as Uncle Zhao, who had just returned from Baihuayuan, all had dinner at Li's house.

Tao Hongying also made an additional dish of mashed potatoes with meat foam.

The potatoes are sliced and steamed, mashed into a puree, and piled up in a large porcelain bowl to form a volcanic shape.

Then stir-fry the minced meat, add soup, add minced green onion and ginger, soy sauce, sugar and salt to taste, starch water to increase viscosity, then pour on the mashed potatoes, and sprinkle some green and red peppers to adjust the color.

Scoop a spoonful full of rice, mix it with rice, and eat it in one bite, the fragrance is indescribable.

The old men ate two large bowls of rice before they opened their mouths to speak.

The village chief said with a smile: "In the future, I will be so old that I will lose my teeth, and I am not afraid of starvation, this potato is simply delicious!" ”

"yes, especially if it's mixed with rice like this, I can eat a pot! Hungry, full! As Uncle Zhao spoke, he scooped up another big spoonful of mashed potatoes.

Li Lao Er said: "There are so many harvests in the field, not so many of them, the uncles like it, and I will make it for the uncles in the future." ”

"That's not going to happen!" The village chief and Uncle Zhao were all opposed in unison.

The village chief put down his rice bowl and said: "This is to be planted, next year there are more varieties, and then you can eat as you like, this year will not be successful!" Everyone eats a meal, and even if they are satisfied, the rest must be stored, and no one is allowed to eat again. ”

Li Lao Er couldn't, so he quickly nodded and responded, "Okay, good, I definitely won't eat it, I'll keep it for seeding." ”

The village chief uncle began to worry again and asked, "Uncle, where do you say you want to store so many potatoes?" This thing can't be cold or hot, if it is rotten, it will spoil the good thing! ”

Li Lao Er had already discussed this matter with his little niece, and he said: "Uncle, there is no shortage of seeds in Zhengjiazhuang, originally Fu Niu'er was going to send a batch of cyclamen, but now let's send these to our village!"

"First, we are closer to the city, and secondly, there is a large cellar on the side of Zhengjiazhuang, which is convenient to store. At the beginning of spring next year, let's just take potatoes from there and plant them. ”

"Okay, this is a good idea, it's hard work!" The village chief was happy to hear this, and said: "It's too far away, people always help us, and we don't have a chance to help others." ”

Li Lao Er said with a smile: "Don't worry, uncle, there will be more opportunities in the future." ”

The crowd talked and laughed, ate and drank enough, and then dispersed.

Early the next morning, several cars came out of the village and delivered all the potatoes to the cyclamen in three trips.

Jia Huan has been in charge of the restaurant alone, and after a long time, he has become a little more shrewd.

He took the potatoes with great fanfare, and let people pass directly through the front hall and carry them to the backyard.

When the diners saw it, they naturally asked.

"Boss Xiao Li, what good things are being produced in this broken gold beach?"

"Yes, Boss Xiao Li, there are good things that can't be hidden, we are all old customers."

Jia Huan smiled and arched his hand and said, "Don't hide it from you, this is a potato grown in the village, and it was sent just after harvesting."

"Tomorrow we will launch a few new dishes in the building, which are made of these potatoes, if you have time, you must come and taste fresh."

"Oh, can you harvest the potatoes? Our family also planted it, and I thought it would be harvested in January! ”

"My family has planted it too!"

"My family didn't get the seeds, but they didn't."

Everyone was gossiping and talking, but without exception, they were all ready to try the new dishes of cyclamen, and wondered how cyclamen made potatoes into flowers!

Because, no matter how many families planted potatoes, these potatoes were the first crops that the Li family transported back from the south and then planted in partnership with the Liu family.

When it comes to how to eat, no one knows better than the Li family.

As a result, because of these dozen carts of potatoes, a potato boom has been set off inside and outside Xindu, and cyclamen has exploded again!

The villagers brought the potatoes to the city, and in the afternoon, when the women were idle, they poured into the potato fields in droves, carrying pickaxes and baskets, and continued to ...... Slip potatoes.

There are always some potatoes that are more shy and prefer to hide in deeper soil.

There are also some who like to live in isolation and live a few feet away from the edge of the seedlings.

The women were reluctant to let them be frozen into ice pucks because they couldn't think about it for a while, and they were frozen into ice balls in the coming late autumn and cold winter.

So, they made up their minds to find the naughty potatoes, take them home, and put them in the pot to warm them thoroughly......

In the corn field not far away, the corn stalks have turned the color of old green, and they will start to change into yellow clothes when the autumn wind blows.

Occasionally, a mischievous and unashamed corn cob, breaking through the wrap of the leaves, ran out to bask in the sun, shaking its long beard, and curiously looking at this new world.

The naughty boys in the school got out of school, and when they entered the house, they couldn't find their mothers, so they threw their schoolbags and ran to the fields to join in the fun.

From time to time, because they found a potato, the naughty boys cheered.

When Hou Ye brought his own soldiers, escorted more than a dozen carriages, and pulled more than a hundred wounded soldiers over, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the field so lively from a distance.

Hou Ye said to the wounded soldiers: "You are really good at eating, you caught up with the village to pick up potatoes, and there were potatoes to eat at night!" ”

A young wounded soldier asked, "Master Hou, are potatoes the auspicious grain with high yields?" ”

"yes!" Hou Ye nodded, "This thing tops grain and vegetables, and there is no shortage of crops everywhere this year, and in two more years, no one in Tianwu will starve." ”

Everyone felt the novelty, and craned their necks more and more to look.

The horsewhip in Hou Ye's hand knocked on the wheel, and then pointed to the second village not far away and said, "Let's take a look there first, the people in the village will build a house for you." ”

"House, really build us a house?!" One of the wounded soldiers shouted, and the rest of the people were also excited, and even regardless of the injuries, they got up one after another to see more realistically.

They originally thought that this was a white lie that Hou Ye didn't want them to be decadent, but where did they think it was true!

Soon, the convoy got closer, turned off the road, and before reaching the archway, the village chief led the villagers to meet them.

Even the women and children of the field hurried over.

Hou Ye jumped off the horse, bowed his hand with the village chief, and said: "Uncle, I have brought all the injured brothers, and they will be entrusted to you in the future!" ”

The village chief hurriedly helped Hou Ye, and said in a loud voice: "Hou Ye can't be like this!" These little brothers are the heroes who protect us to live and work in peace and contentment, and now that they are injured and their lives are in difficulty, shouldn't we help? Don't say that, it's too raw! ”

"Yes, Master Hou, it's all a family."

"The village will be lively in the future, and it will be too late for us to be happy."

The villagers also responded one after another, and their enthusiastic smiling faces were not adulterated at all, which made the wounded soldiers almost red-eyed.

They were crippled, and their families were disgusted and unwilling to let them go back.

Unexpectedly, in this strange place, I got a long-lost warmth from these strange villagers.

If they sacrifice their lives to protect such villagers, then their sacrifice is like ...... It's worth it too!
