"Childe, is this sweet potato really okay?" After listening to Chang Jin's description, Xiao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up. Although she is not human, she also knows that the people take food as the sky, and most of the people who come to the river temple to burn incense these days pray for good weather and abundant harvests.
If the sweet potatoes are really so productive, the incense of their own river temple will definitely roll in.
"What's the fake, wait for me to dig up some sweet potato seedlings in the mountains tomorrow and put them in the river temple, and then you can just use the talisman to give everyone a dream." Chang Jin repeatedly patted his chest and reassured.
"Thank you, Childe," Xiao Qianton thanked.
Chang Jin's temperament is to do what he says, leave the river temple, return to the mountains alone, and put two large bundles of sweet potatoes and seedlings into the river temple, and then give Xiao Qian a detailed explanation of the precautions for planting sweet potatoes.
Summer sweet potato planting is simple, no need to raise seedlings, you can directly take spring sweet potato vines as seedlings. After being buried in the soil, it is easy to take root and grow as long as the rain is good.
Although it is too late to plant summer potatoes now, the yield will be reduced a lot, but even if the yield is reduced, it will be several times higher than other crops.
As soon as the qiΔ was arranged, Xiao Qian gave the people on both sides of the strait a dream at night, saying that she had given everyone a high-yield crop, with a yield of ten stones per mu. What exactly it is, you will find out when you go to the river temple tomorrow morning.
As Chang Jin expected, when he woke up in the morning, the entire Changjiazhuang people were in a sensation, and they gathered at the door of the village chief's house to discuss the matter of the river god's dream last night.
Chang Jin knew the mystery and didn't want to join in the fun, but he was dragged there by his sister.
Far away, I heard the village's Chang cannon shouting there: "Ten stones per mu, how is this possible, I see that the river god wants to sacrifice incense and wants to go crazy." Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway!"
"I don't believe it, I've been farming all my life, and I've never seen anything. Even if it is a high-quality fertile land, intensive cultivation, it is already remarkable that one mu can produce five stones. Ten stones, never heard of. An old man shook his head repeatedly, obviously not believing it.
What he said was right, Chang Jin just turned over the "Book of Persuasion to Agriculture" written by Jia Daowang, a peasant official of this dynasty, a few days ago, which recorded: "The farmer of the husband's field, one mu and five stones, is called good land, and the common name of the world is also." β
The best fertile land yields five stones per mu, which is recognized as a high-yield level in the world.
Xiao Qian said last night that the yield per mu was ten stones, this figure is beyond everyone's imagination, so most people don't believe it. Only a very small number of pious people will be skeptical: "The river god will not tell lies, right, maybe there is such food?"
"If there were, I'd screw my head off. Chang Cannon is still chanting.
When the Chang Jin brothers and sisters approached, sharp-eyed villagers saw them and hurriedly shouted: "Xiucai Gong is here, let's let Xiu Cai Gong talk about it, is it possible?"
Last time, the Baishui River burst its embankment, and Chang Jin jumped into the water to save people regardless of comfort, which caused a lot of admiration. Now in the hearts of the villagers of Changjiazhuang, their admiration for him has risen to a new level.
"That's right, Xiucai is knowledgeable, let him say" Chang Cannon also opened his mouth to support.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chang Jin didn't solve the mystery, but just smiled lightly: "Everyone wants to know if there is such a crop, just go to the River Temple to have a look." It's not far away anyway. Why speculate here?"
"yes, what are we talking about here. β
β¦β¦
The same thing happened in the villages of Qingshan Town, and soon people rushed in groups of three or five in the direction of the river temple.
Seeing this scene, Chang Jin knew that his plan was half completed. The next thing to do is to convince everyone that this thing is really non-toxic.
Under the auspices of Guo Xu, someone soon took out a large bundle of vines from the river temple, and there were a few sweet potatoes hanging below.
"This is ......" sweet potato seedlings grow deep in the mountains, and many people don't know each other, so they ask their companions around them.
"Brother, isn't this what you brought home last time?" asked Xiao Xiao in a low voice when he saw the things placed in front of the River Temple.
"Listen to what they say," Chang Jin commanded in a low voice.
Just looking at the huge fruit hanging under the vine, many people already believe in what the river god said, it is really possible to produce ten stones per mu.
The faces of several hunters in Zhaozhuang nearby changed, and they muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this a poisonous sweet potato, the river god won't want everyone to plant this thing." β
"Yes, this thing is produced in a large amount, but it is poisonous."
In the end, Zhao Orion, who was the leader, stood up and whispered to Guo Xu's ear.
Guo Chengye's face changed after hearing this, and he shouted urgently: "Really?!"
"Of course, if Master Guo doesn't believe it, you can ask other hunters in our village. Zhao Orion replied categorically.
Chang Jin was deaf and clear-sighted, so he naturally heard the conversation between the two clearly. It seems that this Zhao Orion still has some responsibilities and understands that human life is at stake.
After getting the confirmation, Guo Chengye gritted his teeth and said: "This crop is known to Zhao Orion, called poisonous sweet potato, which is highly toxic, so don't take it home to plant it, and don't eat it." β
"What?"
"How could it be ......"
"The river god asked us to plant poisonous sweet potatoes in a dream, and he wanted to poison us. β
For a while, the crowd in front of the entire river temple was boiling, and even some angry people smashed bricks and tiles at the river temple with bricks and tiles.
Chang Jin could clearly see that in the midst of people's discussions, the incense power above the River Temple, which was not very vigorous, was suddenly entangled by black qi, and it invaded most of it in a moment. If this continues, and when the resentment reaches its peak, Xiao Qian may immediately fall off the throne.
He knew that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately separated the people on both sides and walked to the center of the field.
Seeing him standing in the middle, Guo Chengye and the others looked puzzled. However, the surrounding crowd gradually quieted down, and many people had already recognized Chang Jin, after all, everyone saw him diving to save people at that time.
Chang Jin didn't say much when he walked into the field, he directly stepped forward and grabbed a sweet potato in the eyes of everyone, quickly removed the wet mud on the top, and then peeled off some sweet potato skins and sent them to his mouth.
"Xiucaigong, what are you going to do?" Zhao Orion was the closest, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed it.
Chang Jin's feet moved slightly, and he had already retreated to the side, and said with great righteousness: "I believe that the river god will not lie to everyone, whether it is poisonous or not, you will know if you try it." Poisonous, Jin died, non-toxic, then the people of Qingshan Town are blessed, in the future, this thing will be widely planted, I believe that everyone will not go hungry again. β
When Zhao Orion heard this, his body immediately stopped.
Not only him, but almost all the people at the scene were stunned: poisonous, Jin died, and if it is not poisonous, the people of Qingshan Town are blessed, and this thing will be widely planted in the future, and I believe that everyone will not go hungry again.
In the silence, someone suddenly shouted: "Xiucaigong, I'll try it for you." Anyway, when the embankment was broken, the old man's life was also saved by you. β
"Yes, Xiucaigong, I'll ...... for you"
Seeing the shouts below, Chang Jin's heart was also full of emotion. It turns out that this is the will of the people, the people's hope...... It can be condensed into resentment, or it can be condensed into faith. It's like there is a famous saying on the earth: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat".
"Everyone's quiet, everyone's quiet. He shouted, with a hint of majesty in his voice.
When the people outside the venue heard it, they only felt that the sound seemed to ring in their ears, which was extremely clear, and cleared out all the noise from the outside world.
"Last night I also got a dream from the river god, and it said that sweet potatoes are indeed poisonous, but it is not that this thing itself is poisonous, but that it has been left for too long, and it will become poisonous after frost beating and bitterness. Zhao Orion and others believe that this thing is poisonous, that is, the sweet potato after picking frost. So it's okay to eat......"
After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to react, and he was about to stuff the peeled sweet potato into his mouth.
The taste is still the same, crispy and delicious.
Everyone on the field was still there, watching Chang Jin finish the sweet potato in his hand in one bite.
Zhao Lihu's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration and confusion, he couldn't see through what kind of person Xiu Caigong was now. When hunting tigers in the deep mountains, Chang Jin was decisive in killing, and he was not inferior to Jiuyuan, the king of the military department of this dynasty. And at this moment, he dares to test the poison, but he is like those sad and merciful statues enshrined in the temple of the Shijia family.
Half an hour, an hour...... All the people did not leave until noon, when the sun shone on the earth, and some could not bear the heat, and then moved into the shade of the trees.
But now people are increasingly convinced that sweet potatoes are really not poisonous.
"Xiucai Gong, my surname is Zhao's admiration. But if there is a sending, he will not refuse. Zhao Orion opened his mouth to praise, and his face showed a look of joy and sincerity. In other words, even if there is a dream of the river god, Zhao Orion does not dare to try, after all, it is about his own life.
In the afternoon, seeing that Chang Jin was fine, the surrounding people left one after another, discussing going into the mountains to harvest sweet potato seedlings and come back to plant. However, Chang Jin's words just now were imprinted in their hearts, "Poisonous, Jin will die, and if it is not poisonous, the people of Qingshan Town will be blessed."
When Chang Jin left, he deliberately used his divine sense to sense the luck in the sky above the River God Temple, and now it was several times larger than just now, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
When returning to the village, the people of Changjiazhuang hugged Chang Jin all the way home.
After thanking the villagers, Chang Jincai and his sister returned to their courtyard.
One afternoon, the little girl wanted to speak and stopped, and when she was having dinner, she finally couldn't help asking, "Brother, did you really hear what the river god told you?"
"How ......" Chang Jin asked with a smile, and it was time to tell Sister SΓΉ.
"No, I'm just, you got sweet potatoes from the mountains a few days ago, and then our family eats them...... What the hell is going on?" the little girl became anxious, and the more she spoke, the more unclear she became.
"Hehe, it's true that the river god sued me, and you know this river god. β
"I know?" said a confused look on Tiny's face.
"Yes, it's the weasel. β
"What, it's become a river god?!" Little screamed as she stood up from the dining table.
"Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly......" Chang Jin roughly told Xiao Qian about how he obtained the position of the river god, of course, he omitted the process of killing the river god.
"Really, I said why hasn't she come to our house these days. Then will she never come back in the future?"
"No, I'm going to come back tonight. Don't be surprised. β
After dinner, Xiaoxiao sat in the house and waited. It wasn't until the dead of night, when she couldn't resist going to sleep, that she heard a knock on the door outside.
Then I saw a little girl standing at the door, looking at me with a smile.
"You are?"
"Meet Miss, Xiao Qian has won the position of the river god, thanks to the son. Xiao Qian bowed slightly.
"You're really ......" until the other party entered the house, Xiaoxiao still didn't know what to say.
