Ten days later, Liu Anan and his party arrived.
Mr. Liu also worked hard for the sweet potatoes. Except for necessary rest, he was almost always on the road. He arrived in Linxian County in ten days.
Fortunately, Mr. Liu didn't fall apart, but he didn't feel tired at all.
Magistrate Fan received the news of Mr. Liu's arrival immediately and arrived at the county gate in advance to greet him. At the same time, he asked Capt. Qiu to inform Liu An'an.
Mr. Liu didn't waste any time and went directly to Xiangyang Villa.
The recovered sweet potatoes were all transported to Xiangyang Villa, because the area here is large and there is enough space to store sweet potatoes.
Vermicelli is indeed what Liu Anan makes. There are not only vermicelli, but also cornstarch.
The gold content of vermicelli and cornstarch is not high. Once sweet potatoes are planted in large quantities, others will soon produce them. However, the amount of gold is still extremely considerable to be the first to dig out the first pot of gold.
The vermicelli processing workshop has been set up.
After Mr. Liu arrived at Xiangyang Villa, he briefly exchanged greetings with his second father-in-law and then asked for the imperial edict.
Everyone quickly prepared the incense table to receive the order.
Lord Liu read out the imperial edict in public, Lord of Anle County?
The girl was made the county head by the Holy Father, and Qingyu Town in Linxian County was also given to the girl as a fief?
Oh My God!
Qing Yi and Dafeng were extremely happy, and the happiest person was none other than Magistrate Fan.
What unlucky luck is he? Ronghou's daughter is in Lin County, and now he is the head of Anle County. God, he has been smoking purple all the way.
Liu Anan is also very happy. With the title of County Lord, she can even show off her skills.
Although the county owner has a fief, he only gets the tax from the fief and does not participate in other matters. The tax does not matter to Liu An'an. She has money anyway, but she has to get this title.
Everyone invited Master Liu into the main hall, and the girls served fragrant tea to everyone.
Mr. Liu took a sip of water and asked directly: "County Master, I didn't expect the yield of sweet potatoes to be so high. Where did you get the sweet potatoes?"
There is currently no sweet potato crop in Daqi.
Therefore, Mr. Liu was very curious and asked the question directly.
Liu Anan smiled and said, "Sir, you and my father were officials in the same dynasty. My father told me that Mr. Liu is an upright official. Just call me An'an. There are no outsiders here."
Mr. Liu also smiled and nodded and said: "Well, An An, girl, after all, your grandfather and I are half-students. I am a few years older than your father, so you can call me uncle."
Master Liu was naturally happy.
Just now he could hear the second father-in-law saying "Ann'an girl" on the left and "Annan girl" on the right, which was called "affectionate".
Come on, I won’t hold it anymore.
Liu Anan called him uncle in a crisp voice, and then said: "My man accidentally got the sweet potato from a merchant. The merchants travel everywhere, not only in Daqi. The planting methods are also borrowed from the merchants, so I will try it." I planted some, but I didn’t expect it to be successful.”
This is half true and half false.
Maochun did get the sweet potatoes from merchants. As for this planting method, he did not get it from merchants, but Liu Anan couldn't tell the truth.
If he told the truth, he would be burned as a monster!
Mr. Liu nodded. There are other countries outside Daqi. It is not surprising that there are crops like sweet potatoes.
"An'an, let's go see the sweet potatoes?"
"Okay, uncle, come with me."
Everyone followed Liu Anan to the large warehouse.
Come in and take a look, oh!
The sweet potatoes piled up like a hill were quite even in size. Mr. Liu picked up one and weighed it with his hands. It weighed at least half a catty.
"Girl, I want to take some potato seeds with me and try planting them in the suburbs of Beijing next spring. What are your plans here?"
"Uncle, I have saved the potato seeds. I will plant them for two more seasons next year. The three villages in the Kaoshan Village Cooperative will also set aside some fields to grow sweet potatoes. I will harvest their sweet potatoes to make sweet potato flour."
Mr. Liu looked at Magistrate Fan and said: "Mr. Fan, you are a first-come-first-served basis. Linxian County can be promoted as a pilot next year. If you succeed here, the entire Daqi can be planted on a large scale, and the people of the world will have one more kind." Food!”
Magistrate Fan nodded, "Xiaoguan has the same plan and has made a detailed planting plan."
After speaking, he took the plan from his entourage and presented it to Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu read it carefully and kept nodding his head, "Go ahead and do it, record the whole process, and be sure to follow up on this matter personally."
Master Fan naturally ensures that he will follow you from beginning to end.
By the way, the Qixian County Magistrate is still keeping an eye on this matter!
The magistrate of Qixian County also wanted to follow suit, but there were not enough potato seeds. He would have to wait until Linxian County finished planting one season next year before Qixian County could plant them.
However, the magistrate of Qixian County is not in a hurry. Miss Liu's Zhuguang Villa is in Qixian County. He can be regarded as first-come-first-served, so he must hold Miss Liu's thigh well.
"Girl, when can you make the sweet potato flour? I promised the Holy Lord that I will return to Beijing after you make the sweet potato flour."
Mr. Liu is thinking about this matter.
"Uncle, the workshop has been completed. We can start tomorrow. It's a bit late today. Uncle has been working hard all the way. You and the adults have a good rest first, okay?"
Master Liu was accompanied by several officials from the Ministry of Revenue. When Master Liu heard that this was the case, he became rude.
Liu Jiang arranged the guest room first, and then personally arranged for Mr. Liu and others to rest.
Mr. Fan did not return to the county office and stayed at Xiangyang Villa.
In the evening, Liu An'an cooked the food himself to serve Mr. Liu and others.
Although the food is not bird's nest and bear's paw, the combination of meat and vegetables is very good. It is really full of color, aroma and taste. Mr. Liu feels very comfortable eating.
Liu An'an took out the wine produced by Xiangyang Villa again. Master Liu's eyes lit up when he saw the wine. Although he is not a greedy drinker, he is a drinker.
This wine can only be drunk at palace banquets. Unexpectedly, the Liu family girl can brew it herself.
Lord Liu sighed once again, Rong Jue is so lucky to have such a lovely daughter.
The meal was a feast for both host and guest.
Liu Anan got up early the next day and took Zhuangzhuang for morning exercise for a while.
She didn't take Zhuang Zhuang with her when she went out, which made Zhuang Zhuang unhappy.
When walking back from Baicheng, Liu Anan arranged for someone to pick up Zhuangzhuang in the capital. When the little guy saw Liu Anan, he opened his big monkey mouth and cried miserably.
It took Liu Anan a long time to coax Zhuang Zhuang.
Liu Anan was going to make breakfast, so she handed Zhuangzhuang over to a little girl named Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan carried Zhuangzhuang on her back. Her task was to watch Zhuangzhuang.
When Mr. Liu and others got up and finished washing, breakfast was also served by several women and girls.
Sticky millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, scallion pancakes with golden sides, as well as the fried dumplings that my second father-in-law specially wanted to eat yesterday, soy sauce meat, side dishes, refreshing dried radish, and pickled beans were all spread out on the table. .
Just looking at it makes one's appetite increase.
Mr. Liu heard about it yesterday. Since his second father-in-law came out of the capital, he has been going west and north. Girl An An has been cooking for him. No wonder the second father-in-law doesn't want to go back to the capital!
He didn't want to go back so soon, he also wanted to eat every day.
Liu Anan didn't expect that after a few meals, Master Liu accepted her.
In fact, it is not a matter of a few meals, but Liu Anan's sincerity. He is not at all proud of his prominent life experience, nor is he complacent because of his status as the county owner.
This rare innocent heart made Mr. Liu accept this child from his heart.
Of course, the fact that Liu Anan was named the county head also caused quite a stir in the capital. Some were happy, and some were jealous.
These jealous people behind the scenes have forgotten one thing.
That was the field hospital, and the sweet potato planting was all done by Liu Anan.
Queen Mother Li in the palace even smashed a tea set she liked.
She previously wanted the Holy Emperor to make Li Lingxue the head of the county, but the Holy Emperor didn't even nod, but now she has made the child of the Rong family who grew up in the countryside, can she not make Empress Dowager Li heartbroken?
