Hearing Tao Zhu's words, he hummed loudly and said, "Come here quickly, let's eat together."
"I'll tie the little boy to the door." Tao Zhu replied.
Li Qiao went to fetch water to wash her hands.
The water tank is placed in the sun, but it is covered with a lid, so even though it is noon, the water in the water tank is not hot.
Li Qiao took a ladle and poured water to wash his hands. At this time, Li Chuntao brought the roasted sweet potato cakes and pork noodles to the dining table under the shelf. He wiped his hands and walked towards the dining table.
Soon, the four of them sat down at the dinner table.
Li Chuntao's cooking skills are unparalleled. The noodles are rolled very well, and the soup is spicy and rich. With one mouthful of noodles and a piece of braised soft pork, Li Qiao finished a small pot of noodles in just a few mouthfuls.
Filling another small bowl, he slowed down and picked up a piece of sweet potato pancake. It was crispy on the outside and soft and waxy on the inside. It tasted very good.
"Uncle, your way of eating has rekindled my love for sweet potatoes. I will go home later and carry a sack of sweet potatoes from home."
Li Dashan also praised this sweet potato pancake and said to Li Qiao while eating it.
When his family was poor, sweet potatoes were the staple food. However, eating too much sweet potatoes would cause heartburn, so he didn't like sweet potatoes very much compared to other foods.
But this sweet potato pancake is amazing, he likes it!
Hearing this, Li Qiao raised his eyes and looked at him: "No, the folks gave me some sweet potatoes when I came back just now, which is enough for us to eat."
"Anyway, my family grows too much and I can't finish it. I'd better bring some over so that uncle, you may be able to make delicious sweet potatoes again one day."
Li Dashan was very insistent.
His parents were very angry about the previous corn incident. His family had grown so much, but his brother-in-law had to buy other people's corn.
Therefore, in order to prevent his uncle from buying other people’s sweet potatoes, he must always have sweet potatoes in this family!
"The sweet potato balls are delicious, Dashan, please bring some more sweet potatoes." Tao Zhu said.
He likes fried sweet potato balls.
But this requires oil, and even if Tao Shu wants to eat it, he can basically only eat it during the Chinese New Year.
Now that his family is not short of oil, he wants to have a good time.
"become!"
When Li Dashan heard this, he immediately nodded loudly. He would go home and carry sweet potatoes later!
Hearing this, Li Qiao immediately said: "Carry more, and I will make you some dried sweet potatoes."
It turns out that Brother Zhu likes to eat sweet potatoes, so that must be arranged.
"Dried sweet potatoes?" Tao Zhu looked at him.
"Yes, it can be crispy or soft. Make some of both and eat it as snacks."
Li Qiao said with a smile.
"Wow, I just said that my uncle can make delicious sweet potatoes, but he will do it right away. He is so awesome!"
Li Dashan sighed.
His brother-in-law is too awesome.
"This is easy to do, you all will learn it later." Li Qiao said.
So, after lunch, Li Qiao led Tao Zhu, Li Dashan, and Li Chuntao to make dried sweet potatoes.
Soft and glutinous dried sweet potatoes are particularly easy to make, just steam and dry them. Of course, if you want them to be delicious, you have to steam them and dry them several times.
Tao Zhu, Li Dashan, and Li Chuntao were all a little surprised. Is it that simple?
It's that simple.
After Li Qiao finished explaining, he returned to the house.
He bought a new book today, and he wanted to compare it to see what the classical Chinese text he had been reading for several days meant.
In addition, he also wanted to summarize various natural and man-made disasters in ancient times so as to make decisions for the future.
Learning really makes him happy!

Chapter 59: Sweet Potato Harvest Let Him Find a Way Out
When Li Qiao was in school in his previous life, he once heard a history teacher say that ancient history is actually a history of wars and disasters.
Because the land is vast and rich in resources, and the differences between the north and the south and the east and west are too great, every year in this land, there are either natural disasters in the east or human disasters in the west, enemy invasions in the north or uprisings in the south.
In short, in this vast land, something always happens every year.
If there is war, it is basically a man-made disaster.
Either careerists are causing trouble, or corrupt officials are making life difficult for the people. The people can't bear it anymore, so they rise up.
You can count the natural disasters on your fingers and toes, and you can almost count them clearly.
Drought, flood, locust plague, earthquake, plague, snow disaster...
Li Qiao looked at the various disasters on the paper and felt mixed. Life is not easy for ordinary people.
Fortunately, the world he traveled to had high-yielding cereals such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. Otherwise, the people's lives would have been even more miserable.
Sighing, he picked up his pen and started writing down countermeasures.
After the end of the world in his previous life, the entire human society quickly returned to a farming society. Moreover, the climate was changeable and various natural disasters occurred frequently. Therefore, he has rich experience in disaster relief.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is materials and money.
Li Qiao picked up his pen, but as soon as the ink-stained brush touched the hemp paper on the table, two conditions for the policy topic suddenly came to his mind:
Provide specific solutions based on local actual conditions.
Combined with actual local conditions.
If the local government is relatively poor and has no supplies or money, how should it provide disaster relief?
It's like Pingcheng. Before paying summer taxes, the carts pushed over by the county government officials were very old. One look at them showed that they had been used for many years.
He was a little surprised at the time and asked Zhuang Fengshou for a few questions. Zhuang Fengshou told him that those carts had indeed been used for many years. Pingcheng did not have much money financially because all the previous county magistrates were very honest. When collecting taxes, I didn't accidentally create a name to charge more.
So, if the local government has no money, how should we provide disaster relief?
…
The time for studying is always short. By the time Li Qiao's thoughts came back from disaster relief, the room had become dark.
Low voices came from the courtyard outside.
"Brother Qian, just learn to read like me. Look, your Qian characters have so many pens. It takes a lot of ink to write on paper. What does this mean? It means that your name is valuable."
"If my name Dashan is worth five cents, then your name is worth at least fifty cents."
"If you learn how to write your name, it will mean that my uncle has paid fifty cents less. Do you think this is true?"
Li Qiao: "..."
Zheng Qianqian is here?
Soon, Zheng Qianqian's voice sounded, and it was very small. If he hadn't been a superpower and had good hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear clearly.
"Humph, there is some truth in it. But I don't want to learn from you. Even if I learn, I will learn from Brother Zhu."
"Uncle Zhu is busy. He has to make snacks and teach my sister-in-law. I am not that busy, and I have already taught Ershan, Xiaoshan, and Xiaolan. I have rich teaching experience!"
Li Dashan promoted himself vigorously.
"Have your younger brothers and sisters also begun to learn to read?" Zheng Qianqian was surprised.
"No, if they recognize one more word, then my uncle will have to pay for one less word. In this way, my uncle's education will not seem so expensive."
"Then how many words do they know now?" Zheng Qianqian asked curiously.
"Um... cough, I've been busy harvesting sweet potatoes recently, so they haven't had time to learn. Currently they only know the numbers from one to ten."
Li Dashan's voice was a little hollow, but he quickly added: "It doesn't matter how little it is, but it is still money after all. Each number is worth a penny. If the three of them learn ten numbers each, it will be thirty pennies." Woolen cloth."
"...What you said makes sense, but I still want to learn from Brother Zhu."
Zheng Qianqian did not change her mind.
At this time, footsteps sounded, as if Tao Zhu came out of the kitchen.
"Brother Qian, I cut the pomegranate open and you three can have a taste."
"I won't eat. I ate several at home for Sister Li Dashan and Sister Chuntao to eat. And Brother Qiao, Brother Zhu, how about you give one to Brother Qiao?"
Zheng Qianqian said.
"Well... forget it, let's wait for him to come out. It's getting dark and it's time for him to come out." Tao Zhu looked up at the sky and shook his head.
He said, lowering his head, picking up a piece of pomegranate and starting to peel the seeds.
"Wow, Brother Qiao is so amazing. He can calm down and study." Zheng Qianqian's low voice was full of admiration.
When Tao Zhu heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face: "No, if he wants to do something, he can devote himself to it wholeheartedly. He is the most powerful."
"Brother Zhu, you smile so proudly."
"My uncle is so good, of course Uncle Zhu should be proud. Today at noon, my uncle will teach us how to make dried sweet potatoes. When it is ready, I will send it to you. You can learn to read with me."
Li Dashan is still pestering Zheng Qianqian and wants to be Zheng Qianqian's teacher.
Zheng Qianqian refused and wanted Tao Zhu to teach him how to read.
So, the two of them started talking to each other, and Li Qiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
It’s good to be young!
He stood up.
