Liu Anan has been away for several months, but she can receive the latest news at any time about Zhuangzi and the shop.
It also ended successfully at the Baicheng Frontier Fortress. In other places, the master Bai Lao personally led the team. Because of the strong wind, the sweet potatoes in the villa were about to be harvested.
This is a top priority, so Mr. Bai urged the young disciple to go back first and let him take care of the rest.
Liu Anan was not polite either.
Xiao Muyang will also follow his adoptive father and return to Beijing with the health team.
This child has grown a lot during this trip, his little face has become a little more determined, and he has gained a lot of knowledge.
Liu Anan didn't hide anything from his second father-in-law. Instead of letting him find out on his own, it was better to tell the truth.
These days, Liu An'an has confirmed one thing, that is, the second father-in-law has extended an olive branch to him, and he then thinks that with such a big killer like the second father-in-law in his hand, he will not suffer any loss.
"sweet potato?"
Even the well-informed second father-in-law was not fooled by sweet potatoes, "What kind of crop is this? Can it be eaten?"
The second father-in-law was very miserable when he was a child and almost starved to death. Later, he was fortunate enough to be rescued by Emperor Renzong, who was still the prince at the time. He and several other father-in-laws fought all the way down, so the second father-in-law was very obsessed with food.
"Yes, sweet potato is a crop that grows in the ground and is also a type of food. It can be eaten raw, steamed, or roasted. It tastes very sweet and has a high yield per hectare."
Liu Anan and his second father-in-law introduced it in detail.
"This is a top priority. Let's go back quickly. If it's true as you said, girl, you have made another great contribution to our unity!"
The second father-in-law wished he could fly back with wings attached to his ribs.
Liu Anan didn't waste any more time. After arranging everything, he quietly left Baicheng with his second father-in-law, Qing Yi and Lu Yi.
There was no words to say all the way, and we drove faster and faster, and arrived at Xiangyang Villa that day.
Dafeng got the letter early, so he arranged the work at hand with Liu He and others, and waited for their girl at the entrance of the villa.
When the second father-in-law saw this village, he thought, what a Xiangyang Villa, it was really a prosperous scene.
Although it was already mid-November, the villa was still a busy scene.
"My subordinate has seen the girl!"
"The villain has seen the girl!"
Everyone said in unison.
Liu Anan nodded and was busy introducing his second father-in-law to everyone.
Everyone hurriedly bowed again, and the group entered Zhuangzi and went straight to Linglong Residence.
Aunt Pang had already prepared hot water for washing. Everyone went to wash up first, and then ate hot noodles. The hot soup noodles washed away the fatigue of many days.
After everyone rested for a while, they rushed to the sweet potato field.
Liu Anan arranged for someone to invite Magistrate Fan.
Dafeng arranged to plant twenty acres on a trial basis because sweet potato seedlings could be planted even if they were cut. At that time, more than 500 acres of wasteland in Zhuguang Villa were being cleared, so the cut seedlings were moved there.
At this time, one hundred and twenty acres were planted on both sides.
The 20 acres of trial planting land were taken care of very well by Old Man Dong and others. They patrolled it day and night, just like taking care of a treasure.
At Zhuguang Villa, Tian Gui, the manager of the Villa, is also keeping an eye on him.
Liu Anan was secretly happy, there would be a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes.
Everyone quickly arrived at the field. Liu Anan saw that most of the sweet potato seedlings had turned yellow, and the time was right.
"Girl, the old man sees that these seedlings are already yellow. The girl mentioned earlier that the sweet potatoes are mature and should be ready for harvest."
Old man Dong bent down and picked out the rice seedlings with his hands.
Liu Anan nodded, turned to look at the second father-in-law, and said: "Second father-in-law, can you please dig this pickaxe?"
The second father-in-law had a smile in his eyes, how could this girl not make people feel pain in her heart?
He had already decided that one day he would no longer be able to carry out the surgery, so he would live in Kaoshan Village for retirement. This girl agreed to his request, and he was being shameless.
"Okay, let's dig the first pickaxe!"
After saying that, the second father-in-law took the pickaxe from Dafeng's hand, rolled up his sleeves, stuffed the hem of his clothes into his belt, and followed Old Man Dong's instructions to dig hard.
In an instant, a bunch of seven or eight red lumps larger than an adult's fist were turned over. The second father-in-law reached out to pick them up and shook off the soil on them.
"Is this a sweet potato?"
The second father-in-law asked with a smile, and Mr. Fan stared at him with good eyes.
"Yes, Qing Yi, take these sweet potatoes back to Linglong Residence first, tell Aunt Pang to roast them over charcoal fire, and let the second father-in-law and Mr. Fan have a taste."
"Okay, girl."
Qing Yi took the sweet potato and ran away quickly.
"Young and old men, take action! Please be careful!"
The second father-in-law waved his hand, and everyone responded loudly and rushed into the field.
Those who dig potatoes, those who pack baskets, and those who weigh them are all busy and busy. Master Fan also rolled up his sleeves and joined the procession of harvesting sweet potatoes.
The second father-in-law watched the weighing in person in the field. He wanted to write down the data, so he followed him over and wanted to see with his own eyes how much sweet potatoes were produced per mu.
He heard from the girl that if the yield per mu was indeed high, the girl would hand over the method of growing sweet potatoes to the court. This would be a major event that would benefit the country and the people.
Therefore, the second father-in-law must get first-hand data.
There were many people in Zhuangzi, and nothing was more important to them than food. Soon all twenty acres of sweet potatoes were harvested.
Old man Dong asked his grandson to take a group of children to check it one last time. If there was anything missing, he quickly picked it up. No one could be lost.
The ground was filled with baskets.
The second father-in-law was stunned when he saw the numbers recorded on his hand. Twenty acres of land totaled more than 153,000 kilograms, and the yield per mu was as high as 1,275 kilograms! !
The second father-in-law calculated it again, yes!
Old man Dong also saw the number on the second father-in-law's hand. The old man plopped down and knelt on the ground, "Oh my God, people will never be hungry again in the future!"
Everyone also cheered loudly, and the children even jumped and screamed.
"Congratulations to Mr. Fan, our family will pass the news to the Lord immediately."
The second father-in-law smiled and said to Mr. Fan that the first batch of sweet potatoes was planted in Linxian County, which is Mr. Fan's territory.
"Second father-in-law, I have taken advantage of this girl, hahaha!"
Mr. Fan certainly understands what his second father-in-law means. The promotion of sweet potatoes will definitely start in Linxian County. He is the top leader in Linxian County. This is his political achievement.
Liu Anan raised her bright little face and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Second father-in-law, Mr. Fan, there is another one hundred acres in the other village!"
"Ah? Dig, quickly arrange for someone to dig!"
If it hadn't hindered his identity, the second father-in-law would have really wanted to run around the sweet potato field twice. He was so happy.
"Second father-in-law, don't be in a hurry. The little village over there is a few days later than here. I think we can collect it in five or six days."
"Girl, this is a big deal. Our family must report the situation to the Holy One. The Holy One will definitely arrange for someone to come after learning about it. You must be prepared when the time comes."
Liu Anan nodded, she had already prepared it.
The trial planting of sweet potatoes was very successful, and Dafeng provided first-hand detailed information. When the time comes, these things, including the selection of the best potato seeds, will be packaged together and sent to the court.
The people of the world have another kind of food, and Liu Anan feels that all the suffering he has suffered is worth it.
The matters in the fields were left to Liu Jiang and the others, and Liu Anan accompanied his second father-in-law and Master Fan back to Linglong Residence.
Dafeng made three documents, one for his own girl, and the other two for the court and Mr. Fan.
Liu Anan gave detailed sweet potato planting information to the second father-in-law and Master Fan.
That night, these documents, together with Mr. Fan's memorial, were sent to the capital through a special channel by the second father-in-law.
Liu Anan thought that the court would definitely reward him.
I just didn’t expect the reward to be so big.
And she didn't expect that Hongshu would almost cause a fight among the ministers at the court meeting!
