Chapter 172: What is a Sweet Potato?

Seeing that its wound was recovering well, she changed its medicine again and bandaged it again.

The little white tiger finished eating all the meat in a short time.

Nangong Anshan hugged it and touched its head while saying, "You are obedient, don't harm the things I planted, I have time to come and see you again, okay?" ”

The little white tiger nodded.

Nangong Anshan said: "Don't worry, your mother didn't give up on you, this roe deer meat was sent by your mother." ”

The little white tiger nodded again.

Nangong Anshan talked to it for a while, went to harvest what should be harvested in the field, planted what should be planted, and left the space.

She originally thought that the big white tiger would only send one day's prey over, but she didn't expect that for seven days, the big white tiger would release prey in front of Nangong Anshan's house every day.

Wild goats, roe deer, wild boars, pheasants, hares, etc., were delivered every day in different patterns, saving her a lot of time for the villagers to hunt prey, and the family rarely went to the city to buy meat.

It is also because the big white tiger comes every day, everyone in the family knows that there is a big white tiger who comes to bring them food every day, and the meat they eat every day is also sent by the big white tiger.

After everyone in the family found out, they were still a little panicked, but seeing that the big white tiger sent so much meat every time, and left every time he sent meat, Nangong Anshan talked to it and it looked like it could understand everything, and they gradually took off their guard.

Especially Nangong Cheng, Nangong Mo and Nangong Yao, after hearing that the big white tiger was coming, they got up early every day and waited at the door, just to take a look at the big white tiger.

As long as they see the big white tiger coming, they will be extremely satisfied.

During this time, many villagers' houses have been built, although they are smaller, but they are mud brick houses, and it is not a problem to keep warm in winter.

Nangong Anshan also fulfilled her promise, as long as they built a house, she would leave them to work in the fields, and arrange a job for each of them.

On this day, Nangong Anshan planned to go.

On the way, she met Zhou Lizheng and went to the sweet potato field with him.

When she came to the sweet potato field, Nangong Anshan didn't let others do it for the time being, but picked up the hoe for digging sweet potatoes and started digging.

A villager hurriedly said: "Little owner, why are you embarrassed to let you do it yourself, why don't you let me do it?" ”

Nangong Anshan said: "It's okay, I'll dig twice, I won't be tired of myself." ”

With that, she continued to dig.

The others saw that she was digging more easily than them, as if they were playing, and when they remembered her divine power, they let her be.

After a while, Nangong Anshan dug out some sweet potatoes.

Seeing that there were really sweet potatoes, she hurriedly stepped forward to check.

The sweet potato vines produced by the space are different, each sweet potato is about the same size, and each one is larger than her two palms combined.

Nangong Anshan took two sweet potatoes, turned her head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lizheng, come over and take a look, this is a sweet potato." This sweet potato grows really well, and it hasn't been bitten by insects at all. ”

Zhou Li Zheng stepped forward and took a look at the sweet potato, and said, "This is edible, right?" ”

"yes, it's delicious."

"And how do you eat this?"

"You can eat it raw, grilled, boiled with rice, or steamed."

"Can it be eaten raw?"

"Yes." Nangong Anshan said, and began to peel the skin with the knife she carried with her, and then tasted it for everyone on the side, and said, "It's a little hard when eaten raw, but it's softer when cooked." ”

Everyone present gave it a try.

Cao Zhenya said: "It's sweet." ”

Zhou Li said: "It's delicious." ”

"It tastes good."

"I didn't expect this sweet potato to be so delicious."

……

Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "Actually, I like to eat this sweet potato the most." ”

Zhou Li said: "Ah Shan, why did you plant this sweet potato?" ”

Nangong Anshan said: "Soon you will know, these sweet potatoes are ready to be harvested, Aunt Cao, call people from other places over, within one day today, strive to harvest all the sweet potatoes in these four acres of land, and then weigh the yield per mu." ”

Seeing that she looked very anxious, Cao Zhenya said, "Okay, I'll call someone." ”

Soon after, hundreds of villagers began digging sweet potatoes at the same time.

The strength of the people is great, and the speed is also fast, and it takes less than half a day to dig out all the sweet potatoes.

Nangong Anshan asked people to put all of them in sacks and weigh them while loading.

Zhou Li was looking at the sweet potatoes in the field and said in surprise: "Ah Shan, these sweet potatoes are estimated to have a yield of thousands of catties per mu." ”

"Well, there must be thousands of pounds."

That's just an understatement.

Zhou Li was looking at Nangong Anshan excitedly.

This girl's luck is too good, and she can get thousands of catties of rewards if she grows the same.

At this moment, a strange middle-aged man came to Nangong Anshan's side and asked, "This girl, what are you planting here?" ”

Nangong Anshan turned her head to look at the middle-aged man, twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Uncle?" Who are you? ”

The middle-aged man coughed lightly and said, "I'm a rich merchant in the city, and I came to hunt in the mountains with my family, and I saw that you were so lively here, so I came to see the situation." ”

Nangong Anshan glanced behind him, and saw dozens of guards standing in the distance, and the corners of her mouth twitched violently.

This man's pomp and circumstance was too big, and he actually brought out twenty or thirty people.

Seeing that Nangong Anshan didn't speak, the middle-aged man continued to ask, "Girl, can you tell me what you planted?" ”

Nangong Anshan's intuition told her that the person in front of her was not a bad person, and Taylor Boy also said that this person didn't have to be guarded, if there was anything to say, he said: "Sweet potatoes planted." ”

"What is a sweet potato?"

"A kind of food that can be eaten as a staple food."

"Eat as a staple food? Isn't there rice? How do you eat fruit as a staple food? ”

"This is different, for ordinary people, rice is still too expensive, and the yield per mu of rice is far less than the yield of sweet potatoes."

"You mean that the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is higher than that of rice?"

Zhou Li Zheng listened carefully when he heard the words.

"That's right." Nangong Anshan said: "It is much higher than rice, and it is easy to store in the cellar, and it is not a problem to put it for half a year." And the sweet potato vine, which is the green vine you see in front of you, can be fed to pigs, and pigs like to eat pig food boiled with sweet potato vines. ”

Zhou Li said: "If you say so, this sweet potato is really a treasure." ”

"Yes, the specific yield per mu will be known later."

The middle-aged man didn't leave when he heard this, he also wanted to hear how high the yield per mu of this sweet potato was.

For those who need to write halfway, Zhou Lizheng went to help.
