Fang Xiaoyue didn't eat too little in the past, but it was definitely not as amazing as today.
A barrel of rice was enough to feed thirty people, but Fang Xiaoyue ate most of it.
This is no longer a matter of large appetite, but the reincarnation of the wild boar spirit, right?
Fang Xiaoyue didn't know the murmurs of some villagers and slept comfortably.
When I got up early the next morning, I stretched out and felt that all the trauma and fatigue I had experienced during this period had completely disappeared.
Comfortable! It's still comfortable at home.
Fang Xiaoyue sighed softly, stood in the open space in front of the wooden house for a while, practiced boxing for a while, and then began to patrol the valley.
The replanted potatoes have already grown very luxuriantly. If this trend continues, it won't be long before they bloom and enter the tuber expansion stage. At most, they can be harvested after the arrival of autumn.
"What are you doing?!"
Before Fang Xiaoyue finished turning the farmland, she heard a villager's roar. She turned her eyes and saw more than a dozen naughty children running away in panic amidst the roars. In their hands, they were holding a few dug out of the ground. of potatoes.
The leader is his grandson Ding Xiaotie!
Ding Xiaotie is 14 years old this year, and he will be a wife in two years, but judging from his appearance, he seems to prefer playing.
Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but shook her head, but did not step forward to take care of the matter.
In this 100,000-strong mountain, children have to be wild. If they are all raised as scholars, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to survive when they grow up.
In the following time, Fang Xiaoyue did not go out again.
He knew that after he assassinated the commander of the Beiyue Army, there would definitely be chaos outside.
As for whether Pinggui Kingdom took the opportunity to counterattack or Beiyue Kingdom sent reinforcements to completely destroy Pinggui Kingdom, he couldn't guess.
You can only wait for a while, wait until the situation becomes more stable, and then go out and take a look.
If the Beiyue Army continues to occupy Pinggui Country's land, then don't blame him for being rude.
It has been a while since he came to this plane, and he has a sense of belonging.
Otherwise, he would not have gone all the way to assassinate the commander of the Beiyue Army before.
The number of villagers in Taoyuan Valley is still increasing, and these villagers who have escaped from the outside have also brought a lot of news from the outside world.
For example, the Beiyue Army was defeated and was escaping in embarrassment. After that, Pinggui State restored its rule over Suping County and sent a new county magistrate, the magistrate, and the magistrate was collecting this year's head tax, etc. .
Well, the Beiyue Army has just made a few raids in Suping County, and the new official of the Pinggui Kingdom has come to raid again.
No wonder the number of villagers who fled into Shiwanda Mountain during this period not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
But these are not Fang Xiaoyue's focus for the time being, because the potatoes planted in Taoyuan Trail and Taoyuan Valley have been harvested!
The population of Taoyuan Valley has now reached more than 700 people. During the potato harvest, they all go to work, using hoes, shovels and other agricultural tools to dig potatoes.
On the specially built sun dam, fresh potatoes are piled high.
The joy of a good harvest ripples in Taoyuan Valley, and everyone has a smile on their face.
They don't care about which one is more delicious, potatoes or rice. They only know that this year's harvest will be bumper and they can live a good year.
Compared to the joy of the villagers, Fang Xiaoyue looked a little sad.
There were so many potatoes that the excavated stone chamber could not even hold a tenth of it, let alone the rice that was originally stored in it.
If potatoes are left out in the wind and rain, they may sprout or become moldy soon, which would be a huge loss.
At this time, he regretted that he did not learn how to process potatoes in the previous dimension and make potato vermicelli, vermicelli, starch, etc.
Of course, he wasn't completely helpless.
After thinking hard, he decided to dig dozens of large cellars behind Taoyuan Valley.
Agricultural products such as potatoes can be stored longer only in a cool and ventilated environment of 5 degrees Celsius.
Following his order, the villagers immediately went back to the hard work of digging cellars after a bumper potato harvest.
I have to say that his decision was correct.
It took more than half a month to dig the cellars one by one, send all the potatoes into the cellar, and then build a ventilated wooden house above the cellar.
When all this was done, late autumn arrived, and the continuous drizzle fell near Taoyuan Valley for more than ten days.
If the potatoes are not stored well before this, the hard work of several months will be in vain.
On the night of the harvest, a grand harvest festival was held in Taoyuan Valley.
The villagers sang and danced around the bonfire, and a large number of roasted potatoes were delivered from the canteen like running water after being sprinkled with a little fine salt.
Without fried shredded potatoes, this roasted potato should be considered the best way to eat potatoes.
Fang Xiaoyue, who never liked potatoes in the past, also followed the cheerful atmosphere and ate a few more skewers.
After resting for a few days in Taoyuan Valley, Fang Xiaoyue just got up on this day. After her routine of meditating, practicing boxing, and standing stances, she came to the cafeteria, ordered a portion of mashed potatoes, mixed with some honey, and sat down to eat. When I arrived, a young man ran over panting.
Fang Xiaoyue knew this young man. His name was Niu Xiaowen, and he was one of the young men responsible for guarding outside Taoyuan Trail.
Since the Beiyue Army raided the mountains last time, and after this potato harvest, there was a lot of excess food, so Fang Xiaoyue sent out the sentries.
Compared with living statues, these young and strong sentries are undoubtedly much more flexible.
"Grandpa Zhang, an official is here and wants to see you."
Niu Xiaowen ran to Fang Xiaoyue, took a breath, licked his chapped lips and said.
"Is there an official?"
Fang Xiaoyue was a little curious. He must be an official of Pinggui Kingdom. He didn't know what these guys were doing in Taoyuan Valley.
But he made a guess and suspected that the official was here to collect taxes.
Hearing Fang Xiaoyue's judgment, the young and old people beside him couldn't help but become angry.
People like me have finally settled down. How dare those dog officials come to collect taxes?
For a time, the people in the valley were indignant, and there was even an excited young man who wanted to go out and kill the dog officer with his weapon in hand.
But he was stopped by Fang Xiaoyue.
To say that the officials of Pinggui Kingdom have two words to say in his eyes: incompetent!
It is said that the previous magistrate of Suping County not only failed to organize manpower to defend the city when Beiyue's army pressed on the border, but instead tried to escape privately in a carriage.
If Beiyue Cavalry hadn't blocked the city extremely tightly and rushed over as soon as the city gate opened, the county magistrate might have escaped.
To be honest, if the county magistrate gathered the soldiers, government officials, and young men in the city to rise up and resist, he would be able to hold on for a few days and wear down the morale and strength of the Beiyue Army. When the reinforcements arrive, the Beiyue Cavalry who are isolated outside the city may not know what to do. Just run away.
