Chapter 115 Potato Digging Team
Chapter 115 Potato Digging Team
Ye Tang felt that her husband might be the chosen one, that is, the male protagonist in the novel, with the aura of the protagonist.
At a young age, he is already the elder of the clan, and is spoiled by everyone to the point that he cannot take care of himself. He has a handsome face like a banished immortal, and has powerful martial arts. There are masters like Senior Hong who beg him to be his apprentice, and he also has a master who is a doctor who can make all kinds of poisons. Will there be any miraculous life experiences in the future?
Ye Tang looked at Xiao Jingxuan with a curious look.
Xiao Jingxuan's scalp tingled when she looked at him: "My master is not a poison doctor, he is a serious doctor. He knows how to make these poisons, but he thinks that you are a weak girl, so he makes them for you to protect yourself."
Ye Tang: "But I don't know anything about poison. What if I accidentally poison myself?"
Jamel Xiao: "I have the antidote."
He took out the antidote and gave it all to Ye Tang.
Ye Tang looked at the medicines and suddenly understood Xiao Jingxuan's painstaking efforts.
"Husband, if you have difficulties in the future, don't hide it from me. I am not a burden." Ye Tang said seriously.
Jamel Xiao was so moved that he cried, "My wife, you are so kind."
Ye Tang stretched out his hand and pushed his face away: "Get out of the way, you haven't even shaved your beard clean, you look so ugly!"
Jamel Xiao: “…”
He reached out and touched his face, and wow, there was really stubble.
My wife doesn't like men with beards, she likes handsome men with fair complexion.
Ye Tang suddenly asked: "Husband, what kind of life do you want to live?"
Jamel Xiao thought for a moment: "Just like the life I have now, it's comfortable and peaceful, there are delicious food, there are mountains and waters, there is no killing, and most importantly, you are here with me..."
He looked at Ye Tang's face with burning eyes.
Ye Tang looked at the ceiling of the bed: "I also like this kind of stable life, but I'm afraid it's not easy..."
Although the Yuan Dynasty was relatively stable in recent years, small wars occurred frequently, such as the one at Yunling Pass.
Fuso has always been eyeing the Yuan Dynasty.
When Ye Tang woke up early the next morning, he saw Xiao Jingxuan shaving with a knife. That knife, oh, was Hong Longfei's flying knife.
Hong Longfei will stay with Liu An to recuperate and will not be back until half a month later, when Liu An will follow him.
Xiao Jingxuan said that his master was tired of the world and wanted to live in seclusion in Qingquan Village.
Just after the hour of noon, Qin Jinhua came over with three maids and six guards. Tao Quan did not come with them.
As soon as Qin Jinhua entered the door, she went to see Red Pepper excitedly.
"It really turned red, and it looks pretty good." Qin Jinhua picked a red pepper and asked Ye Tang: "Is the red pepper delicious?"
Ye Tang said, "It's delicious, slightly different from green peppers. I'll make chopped pepper fish with peppers for you to try later."
Qin Jinhua's eyes lit up.
She touched her face. She would lose more than ten pounds every summer, but she had been eating so well at Ye Tang's place recently that all the weight she had lost had gained back.
Ye Tang sent Lu Taohua and Lu Lihua to Wenggang Village to pick red peppers. The peppers there are planted earlier and there are more red peppers, so they can pick thirty or forty kilograms.
The red peppers at Xiao's house can weigh 17 or 18 kilograms.
Ye Tang ordered people to pick all the red peppers, dug five pounds of potatoes from the field, killed a slightly smaller sturgeon, and made a dish of chopped pepper sturgeon, and then made a dish of green pepper stuffed tofu and fried a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds.
Qin Jinhua and Xiao Jingxuan stared at the shredded potatoes. Xiao Jingxuan asked, "Potatoes actually grow in the soil, not on branches."
Ye Tang laughed: "Those small branches can't bear the weight of potatoes."
The first batch of potatoes she planted were quite large, perhaps because of the space seeds, and she could only hold two in one hand.
Ye Tang said: "The potatoes I planted can produce six to ten fruits per plant at most. I planted 4,000 plants per acre, and the yield per acre reached 5,000 kilograms."
Xiao Jingxuan and Qin Jinhua were both stunned.
Jamel Xiao asked incredulously: "How much is the yield per mu?"
"Five thousand kilograms." Ye Tang opened his palm: "Potatoes can not only be used for cooking, but also as a staple food. They can be stored for a long time and can be eaten in a variety of ways."
Qin Jinhua's voice was a little excited: "Are you kidding?"
Ye Tang shook his head: "I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, you can bring people to dig up the potatoes on both sides and weigh them, and then you will know if I am talking nonsense or not."
“No, no, no, we believe you.” Qin Jinhua picked up the bowl and chopsticks and quickly picked up the dishes: “Jingxuan, eat quickly, and accompany me to dig potatoes.”
Jamel Xiao was also shocked by the potato yield. He wanted to go and confirm the potato yield himself, so he obediently sped up his eating.
He took a bite of the chopped pepper fish and said, "Delicious, delicious, spicy and fragrant. My wife, you are simply a cooking god."
Qin Jinhua was also intoxicated by the aroma of the spicy and sour potato shreds: "It's so delicious, sister-in-law, I will stay at your house from now on."
The three of them finished their lunch happily and went to the fields with hoes.
Chun Xi's three maids were all frightened: "Madam, how can you go to the fields to work yourself? Just teach us."
Qin Jinhua refused to do it and insisted on digging potatoes herself.
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan each carried a hoe.
Lu Anbang, Lu Hao and six strong servants followed, carrying hoes.
The guards brought by Qin Jinhua also picked up farm tools.
The army of potato diggers rushed to the fields.
When they got to the dry land, Ye Tang first demonstrated how to dig potatoes: "Don't damage the potatoes."
Qin Jinhua was eager to try with her hoe in hand: "Got it, stand aside, I want to dig the one in front of you."
After a while, Qin Jinhua sat under the tree, sweating profusely, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan: "I'm so tired, I won't dig anymore, the rest is up to you."
Jamel Xiao glanced at the two potatoes she dug out: “Haha, you’re even lazier than me.”
Ye Tang entered the field like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. His hoe left afterimages, and potatoes rolled out one by one as soil splashed.
"Mrs. Dong has great strength!"
"Hurry up, we are all left behind by the host's wife."
"Madam, please go slower. There are too many potatoes. I can't pick them all up."
Those who didn't have hoes were responsible for picking potatoes.
There is strength in numbers. The potatoes from one acre and three mu of land were quickly dug up, and everyone was so tired that their clothes were soaked with sweat.
Ye Tang was full of energy. He ordered people to pick potatoes and pull them back to Xiao's house in an ox cart.
After all the potatoes were pulled back and weighed, everyone except Ye Tang was stunned.
“There are 4,300 kilograms of potatoes!” Lu Anbang’s voice trembled as he spoke: “Incredible, too incredible!”
Qin Jinhua didn't know how to farm, but she understood how difficult it was for farmers. There was a food shortage in the Yuan Dynasty, and different natural disasters occurred in different places every year. Many people died in each natural disaster, most of them from starvation.
Also, during wars, there was often a shortage of food in the military camps.
The potato production is enough to solve the food problems caused by natural disasters and wars.
If every farmer could grow more than 4,000 high-yield potatoes and pay taxes, there would still be no starvation.
"Sister-in-law, you've done a great job!" Qin Jinhua held Ye Tang's hand with tears in her eyes. Just as she was about to give her a big hug, Ye Tang broke free.
"Sister, don't get excited yet. There's still a piece of potatoes that haven't been dug in Wenggang Village. Let's go dig potatoes first, and I'll take you to see the rice I planted."
Qin Jinhua wondered, was there anything different about the rice she grew?
