Chicken nuggets stewed with potatoes, hare roasted with potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, and cold potato slices.
I also steamed a large pot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and cooked sweet potato and millet porridge.
Finally, a few pieces of sweet potatoes were burned under the pot, and the aroma from the kitchen spread outside, and everyone working in the fields could smell it.
Little Dog Dan sniffed his nose vigorously and glanced towards the kitchen from time to time, "What delicious food did Sister Tongtong cook today? Why does it smell so good?"
Daniel slapped him on the head and said, "I think about eating all day long and work quickly." After saying this, he couldn't help but sip his saliva.
Little Dog Dan laughed at him, "Aren't you greedy? Your saliva is almost drooling, and you still have the nerve to blame me."
Brothers, you glare at me and I glare at you, neither one is convinced by the other.
Xu Xianglan smiled and scolded: "You two brats, come over and work quickly, or you will not be allowed to eat tonight."
The two brothers glared at each other again, then squatted down and started working.
Lin Zhong's eyes widened as he watched nests of sweet potatoes and potatoes being dug out.
What kind of food is this? It’s so good, isn’t it? One acre of land may be able to harvest several thousand kilograms.
He stayed there in shock. If there was such high-yield food, how many soldiers could not be fed? The little master will definitely succeed in the future!
During dinner in the evening, everyone was amazed by the taste of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Several large pots of vegetables and sweet potatoes were completely eaten, leaving some unsatisfied in the end.
Lin Zhong called Li Yunze outside and said excitedly: "Master, you have got such high-yielding food and such delicious food. God is helping you."
Li Yunze patted his arm and whispered: "Uncle Lin, my wife discovered this kind of food, and the seeds she brought this time were also given to her as a thank you.
My wife and uncle are my nobles. It is not God who wants to help me, but she and my uncle. "
Originally, he didn't plan to say these words now, but he wanted everyone to know how much help his wife's family had given him.
What other people think has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care. But my uncle must make it clear.
Both sides are his close relatives and people he cares about. He hopes that the two sides can get along with each other in a friendly manner in the future, so that he will not be caught in the middle.
Lin Zhong said without hesitation: "Tongtong is a good boy, and your mother-in-law and two uncles are also of outstanding character. Master, the wife Master Wuchen has found for you will definitely be good."
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "Uncle Lin, when you leave, take two carts of potatoes and sweet potatoes each back to let Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin have a taste.
Save the rest and plant them next spring. I will write you the planting method then. "
Lin Zhong thought for a while and asked: "Master, the young master has purchased properties in various places. Can these sweet potatoes and potatoes be planted?"
"Of course. I won't eat what I collected this year. I will send you a few more cars after the New Year.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes can be grown twice a year. You plant them first in the mountains in the spring, and then transport them to other places for planting when they are harvested. "
Uncle Lin came over this time and brought them a few large carts of grain, enough for them to eat until next year. The sweet potatoes and potatoes will be left to be used as seeds.
Lin Zhong listened to his words and was silent for a while before saying: "Master, do you think this is okay? You don't need to make a trip next year.
Don’t you have a few empty carriages here? Each of us, nine of us, will drive one cart and bring back the sweet potatoes and potatoes. Then we will send you several carts of grain. "
Li Yunze thought his idea was a good one, nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, there is no need to bring more grain here. These few carts of grain will be enough for us to harvest wheat next year."
Thinking of the complexity of growing sweet potatoes, he added: "The carriage will be left at your place first, so there is no need to rush to deliver it. Next spring, Tongtong and I will go to your place to teach you how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes. Just bring the carriage back."
"Yes, Master."
Li Yunze smiled and said: "Uncle Lin, please call me Ping An from now on. You are my mother's brother-in-law and my elder, so there is no need to be so polite."
These words made Lin Zhong's eyes turn red, and he thought of the old man, his wife, and the eldest lady who died young.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would avenge them and help the young master get into that position as soon as possible.
Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan went to find Yongchang and Wencai.
Everyone planted sweet potatoes and potatoes together. Although they discovered the seeds, they couldn't just give them away without telling them.
Anyway. This matter needs to be discussed with everyone.
Several companies readily agreed. Not to mention that they brought so much food, even if they didn't send food, these things still belong to Ping An and Tongtong.
They just put some effort into planting, and it would be nice to share some with them. How can they be greedy and meddle in things?
Ping An and Mingxuan came over and asked them, that was out of respect for everyone, and they were not unreasonable people.
Lin Zhong and his brothers helped them repair the kitchen and re-strengthened the door.
He was about to help chop some firewood, but was stopped by Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan. They were afraid of snow on the road and asked them to go back early.
Half of the sweet potatoes and potatoes were taken away by Lin Zhong and others.
Li Wenxiu and several women also caught a dozen chickens that were about to lay eggs and asked him to take them home and raise them.
Another basket of eggs was prepared for him to give his parents a taste.
Lin Zhong accepted it happily. This morning he ate a double-yolk boiled egg and was very surprised.
He had never seen such a big egg before. At that time, several sisters-in-law told him.
They say that the chickens they raise lay two eggs a day. If they lay one egg, it must be a double yolk.
At that time, he wanted to beg a few eggs back and let his mother and the aunts in the valley hatch the chicks.
But he didn't have the nerve to say anything. He bought so many sweet potatoes and potatoes. If he asked for eggs again, he would be embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the sisters-in-law were so considerate and prepared everything for them.
"Thank you sisters-in-law. When you have free time next year, let Ping An and Tongtong take you to our place for a few days and let my mother entertain you well."
Li Wenxiu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, when we are free, we will definitely visit my uncle and aunt."
Everyone stood at the gate of the valley, watching them drive away in a carriage filled with sweet potatoes, and then closed the thick door.
Li Yunze said to several children: "The work in the fields is done. Starting tomorrow, get up at 00:00 and follow me to practice martial arts for an hour.
Have breakfast at chen shi. After dinner, I will take you out to chop wood, hunt, and prepare supplies for the winter. After dinner, Master Zhou will teach you how to read and write. "
Several children shouted excitedly: "Yes, Master."
They can finally practice martial arts, go hunting with their master, and learn to read with Master Zhou.
Li Yunze bowed his hand to Master Zhou and said respectfully: "Master, we still have a lot of things to do during the day, so I can only trouble you to teach everyone in the evening."
Master Zhou said with a smile: "As long as you want to learn, you can let me teach you anytime."
Ye Yutong said to several aunts: "Mom, Grandma Hu, aunts, I will leave the food to you.
We are not short of food now. You can cook more meals in the future so that everyone can be full. When we are growing up, we exercise a lot, and if we don’t eat enough, we won’t grow taller. "
Several women were happy after hearing her words.
Li Wenxiu said: "We know it, and we won't take advantage of you. We will definitely feed you kids."
