When a relative in the family passed away, the children of the next generation needed to worry for three years before they could participate in the imperial examination and become an official in the court.

The Tao family's brothers should participate in the imperial examination this year, and now it will take three years.

This is not the end, Tao Tao also sent Song Jian's dowry list, asking them to return all the things on the list to her.

Yes, on the night after Tao Yuanzhi's death, Tao Tao received a dowry list sent by the Song family, but the Song family didn't plan to see her, and it seemed that their relationship stopped at the meaning of Song Jian's death.

They don't talk to her, and she doesn't have a relationship with them, just do what she has to do.

Tao Tao didn't force this too much, the other party was not happy to have anything to do with her, not necessarily she would be happy.

However, the dowry list is considered a kindness to the Song family, so she plans to return a part of Song Jian's dowry to the Song family after she gets it back, and the remaining part belongs to herself.

After all, Song Jian must have arranged a dowry for her daughter, and it is not too much for her to leave a part.

As for how the Tao family quarreled after receiving the dowry list, Tao Tao didn't care.

Compared with the noisy pottery family, of course, it is more important that the rice in his Fanglan Garden has begun to tassel.

After Zhou Lin's meticulous care during this period of time, there are a lot of headings in that small piece of rice, and the harvest should be good by visual inspection.

"This thing doesn't look like wheat?" Xiao Zhihu looked at the rice suspiciously.

Although after the appearance of this thing, he asked people to check it, and learned that there is a place where rice is grown, but its yield is not high, and if it is not taken care of at all, there will be no harvest.

However, Tao Tao swore to him that the rice harvest could be doubled.

Xiao Zhi didn't know whether to believe that the results of his people were good, or to believe in Tao Tao's judgment, after all, at present, these rice plants are indeed growing very well.

"They just look the same at first glance, but they're actually different, and if you wait a month or two, you'll understand." Tao Tao looked at Xiao Zhi funny, he still knew what wheat looked like?

Xiao Zhi frowned, "Don't look at this king like a fool." ”

"Look at what the prince said, where do I have it?" Tao Tao couldn't cry or laugh, so she simply reached out and pulled Xiao Zhi away from the rice.

"Aji, I'll show you something good."

After that, Tao Tao pulled Xiao Zhi to the edge of the sweet potato, let go of his hand, went straight to find a shovel, and dug it at one of the sweet potato vines.

After a while, the soil was dug up, revealing something red under the surface of the soil.

Xiao Zhi's mouth opened, and he closed it again in an instant, he first saw what Tao Tao could dig out.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Tao Tao smiled and took out all the sweet potatoes under the sweet potato vine, picked out the largest of them and handed it to Xiao Zhi.

"Ah Zhi, do you think it's very big?"

"That's what you're talking about that you can produce a lot of money and have a full stomach?" Xiao Zhi hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he endured his cleanliness habit and reached out to take the sweet potato from Tao Tao's hand.

After watching it for a long time, he didn't see any doorway, so he had to ask, "How do you eat this thing?" ”

"yes, how do you eat it?" Zhou Lin couldn't hold back, and then spoke, he was originally watching silently, but now he couldn't help it when he saw Tao Tao digging out so many sweet potatoes.

You know, she's just digging one!

There are so many sweet potatoes in one tree, and you can imagine how good it would be to confirm that this thing can be eaten and filled.

Tao Tao raised her eyebrows and clapped her hands, "Look, I'll do it for you." ”

Sweet potatoes, of course, are the best to eat in an earthen kiln.

As soon as he thought of it, Tao Tao asked people to dig up some clods of soil, and specially explained that it was a clod, not a fine piece of soil.

When the soil was found, she began to make a kiln.

When the kiln is finished, he takes the firewood and stuffs it in, nods his head, and lets the fire burn, and heats all the clods of earth.

After this operation, the firewood is fully burned and the clods of soil that have been heated are left, and the sweet potatoes can be thrown in.

Of course, in addition to sweet potatoes, Tao Tao also asked people to get a flower chicken and throw it in, and the kiln she made was big enough that it would be wasted if she didn't put more things.

After everything was put in, Tao Tao took a wooden stick to break the earthen kiln that had been built, broke it, and let them all spread on the things in the kiln.

"Okay, wait a quarter of an hour, and you should be ready to eat." Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

Xiao Zhi and Zhou Lin glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Although they can see all Tao Tao's movements clearly, they are still in a stage where they are not very clear.

"Don't stand stupid, come and drink tea." Tao Tao saw through the doubts of the two, but he didn't want to bother to explain, anyway, when the kiln was opened in a while, and the things were taken out, they would understand what was going on.

So there's no need to waste time and tongue explaining.

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and took the lead in walking towards Tao Tao, telling himself in his heart that it would be good to wait for the results to come out, and he couldn't act as if he was very ignorant.

Compared with Xiao Zhi's holding, Zhou Lin didn't care as much about his face as Xiao Zhi, he directly quickened his pace, and after passing Xiao Zhi, he suddenly rushed to Tao Tao, looking at her with straight eyes.

"You're just going to make us look at it like this and not explain it?"

"Explain what? After a while, you eat it in your mouth, so don't you understand everything? Tao Tao took a sip of tea, just now there was a fire and all kinds of things, she was about to die of thirst!

Zhou Lin frowned and opened his mouth to ask again, but before he could speak, he first received a glare from Xiao Zhi, which was so frightened that he subconsciously swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Can this thing only be eaten the way you just did?" Xiao Zhi twisted his eyebrows a little dissatisfied, the yield is indeed high, but if you have to be so troublesome every time you want to eat, I am afraid that the people may not be able to accept it.

Tao Tao looked at Xiao Zhi strangely, "Of course not, I didn't say that just now, this thing can actually be done in any way, but I think it tastes better when I do it, that's all." ”

"That's good." Xiao Zhi's frowning brows were loosened, he could do whatever he wanted, which meant that as long as he made a fire and threw it in, he could eat it, and it should not be difficult for the people to accept it.

Two quarters of an hour is neither long nor short, and a cup of tea has not yet been drunk, and it has arrived.

"Clear, clear the soil from above, and be careful not to hurt anything in the kiln." Now waiting to eat, Tao Tao is of course impossible to do it himself.

Obviously there are people available, and people who do it themselves are fools.

The guards of the palace acted very neatly, and soon cleared the surface soil, and at the same time, a rich sweet smell wafted out, which was comparable to the smell of the flower chicken!
