Chapter 43 The Man Surnamed Long & Sweet Potato
"Little Monkey, look at the sweat on your head." Seeing that the broken hair in front of her daughter was sticking to her forehead and temples, Li took out a handkerchief and gently wiped off the sweat, and took her little hands to go home.

Mrs. Wang was so excited by the topic just now, she turned her head and looked at her daughter-in-law, "Yu Niang, go back to your mother's house tomorrow to inquire about sweet potatoes. If the yield per mu is really so high, you can ask when to plant them? , so that we can clean up the land in advance, and then plant some to see."

Li's expectations are not as high as those of the aunts in the village, "Mother, there are so many people in this big scene, even if it can be sent to us, it's not much, but I should ask."

Manman raised her head curiously, "Mother, this sweet potato is really like what those aunts and mothers-in-law said, it can make the common people no longer have to worry about not picking it up, and they can eat and drink without worry."

"We civilians live on the face of God. If God doesn't give us noodles, no matter how much food is produced, we can't eat and drink without worry. However, we can avoid some failures."

Dafu presented the information in front of Manman, "I have found it!" "Sweet potato" has a high yield of coarse grains in ancient times, and the growth environment is not demanding. Compared with your current production level, it is indeed high yield. The rumors are true, and it is indeed a good thing. "

Manman grinned, happy from the inside out. For people living in the countryside, nothing is more important than food.

"Mother, go ask Auntie, can we buy this sweet potato? Since it is said to be high-yielding, let's have more varieties. Sweet potatoes may not be delicious!"

When the Wang family in the front heard it, she disagreed and looked back, "Why do you spend money to buy this free thing? It's not because you have too much money to burn, and you don't know if this sweet potato is good or not!"

Holding a fan and pointing at Man Man with a smile, "As long as you think about it, it will come out."

Man Man sticks his neck and argues, "That's not it, this sweet potato is easy to grow, better than wheat and rice, and it is a treasure from root to leaf, you believe me, mother, you must ask if you can purchase!"

Yan Guizhi heard Man Man say this from behind, and hurriedly said, "Man Man, this sweet potato is really as good as you say?"

"Yes, Aunt Yan!" Manman nodded affirmatively

"Sister Yan, don't listen to her nonsense." Li Shi winked at Man Man and told her not to talk nonsense.

Seeing this, Manman could only pouted her lips and remained silent.

After washing, Mrs. Li looked at the small mouth where the oil pot can be hung, "Are you still angry?"

Mrs. Li looked at the girl who turned her head, smiled and touched her head, "Mother believes in you. If you can really buy it, mother must buy more. This dynasty has spent so much manpower and material resources to spread this thing, which means it must be good, unless the one sitting above The human skull is packed."

Manman turned her head happily, "That's right, Ma'am, your analysis makes sense, why didn't I think of it."

"How old are you, go to sleep when you're done."

At the time of Frost's Descent, there was still thick fog at Mao Shi, and the men of Yuliang Village gathered at the entrance of the village one after another carrying empty loads, preparing to go to the prefecture.

Yu Youguang, who was sitting on the bullock cart at the front, made someone light a torch, squint his eyes, stare at the brochure in his hand, and look at the noisy crowd around him, shouting loudly, "Shut up, I'm calling roll call now, who is calling?" , whoever will give me a response!"

He took a stick and knocked heavily, "Delegate, come to the front to register, good! Yu Dashan, Yu Zhong, Yu Youyu"

Answers and laughter and cursing sounded at the entrance of Yuliang Village one after another.
"Okay, stop arguing, what are you arguing about, each of you has collected your household registration, the previous food officer said it all, if you don't have a household registration, you are running around, don't even think about having a hair, and there is more!" Yu Youguang spat The stars are flying under the orange torch.

"I'm going to put the ugly words up front. Today is a good day for our Yuliang Village. If anyone plays tricks in the prefecture and county, has dirty hands and feet, and stirs up trouble, it will bring shame to our village. I, Yu Youguang, will never forgive me!"

Although the people standing aside were smiling, they still responded in unison, "Okay, Uncle Youguang!"

"Village chief, let's take that potato honestly and don't embarrass our village."

"I heard that there are several villages going to collect it today."

"You said that something that doesn't cost money can be a good thing, Hache! Oh, how comfortable it is to lie in bed in this weather."

"Yu Niang, why do you take so many empty frames? I heard that the whole family can't get a fight. With so many people going, I think Uncle Guang wants to compare his momentum with the neighboring village."

Mrs. Li smiled gently, "I was thinking, how much land can this family grow with only one bushel? So I plan to buy some more, at least to make up half an acre of land, otherwise, what can be grown with just one bushel of seeds? .”

"Oh, it looks like I haven't planted land before. How dare you plant such an unknown thing casually, and you are not afraid of losing money."

Yu Youguang looked at the people who were whispering and talking, and his dantian sank, and he yelled hard, "What are you all talking about, the man with the torch walks aside, keep your eyes bright, say hello if you have a situation, let's go!"

Everyone in Yuliang Village woke up like a fire dragon from a deep sleep, winding away along the white dirt road.

In front of the gate of the government office at the eleventh lane of Fengshufu East Street, there are only solitary officials on weekdays, but in recent days it has been full of people.

The chief secretary, He Buqun, and the food officer, Wu Yiqingchang, stood on the steps and said nothing, but no one paid any attention to them, looking at the noisy and disorderly people.

Wu Yiqing had no choice but to stand up and shout, "Parents and fellow villagers, please be quiet, come from one village to another, where is the head of Renshu Village, come forward."

"Hey, here, my lord, I am Li Qiao from Renshu Township."

"Let the villagers in Renshu Township take their household registrations to line up at the back, get their seals stamped, and go to the yard next door to pick up sweet potatoes."

Li Qiao clasped his fists at Wu Yiqing and said respectfully, "Yes, yes."

...

"The next Yuliang Village."

"Yu Youguang ran out quickly, sir, I am Yu Liang Village, the village head Yu Youguang." After speaking, he turned around consciously and asked Yu Liang Village and others to line up like the previous village, and each household came forward to check.

Mrs. Li trotted behind Yu Youyu and Yu Changgong, "Father, I asked you to buy it, fifty baht a bucket, how many buckets do you think is suitable for our family? I also heard that there are some vegetable seeds, I will go and listen." Grain officials publicized it, saying that it is a new variety, and it is very high-yield! And they don’t choose land.”

Yu Youyu made up his mind, "Then let's buy two buckets first, it's cheaper than I thought, and you can buy some for your merits and courage. Our farm doesn't have any vegetables to eat, and we can dig them everywhere on the mountain, so we don't need green vegetables. "

Yu Changyong didn't want to buy it, it looks so muddy, would it really be delicious?But if you don’t buy it home, the daughter-in-law will definitely look cold, “I’ll just buy a bucket, Dad, I don’t know what this thing looks like.”

There are two elders in your family, you just buy this, watching the second child twist his neck to look around, flick his sleeves angrily, "It's up to you."

Mrs. Li was very moved when she heard the publicity just now, and watched her father-in-law continue to lobby, "Father, I heard that this vegetable is a kind of melon, what is it called pumpkin."
