Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 170 Sweet Potatoes
Jiang Erya said: "There is a snake cave on Duoduo Island, and there are tens of thousands of poisonous snakes in it. All the gold, silver and treasures stolen by the pirates are stored in that snake cave.

The pirates must have a special way to get into the snake cave, but unfortunately they are very stubborn and would rather die than reveal it to me.

I had no choice but to fulfill them and kill them all.

I'm not short of money, it doesn't matter if I can get those things..."

When Li Minggui heard that the pirate treasure was still on Duoduo Island, his heart immediately became active.After sending off Jiang Erya and his party respectfully, he turned around and found a few cronies, drove the boat, and rushed to Duoduo Island excitedly.

When he went to the island, found the snake cave, and witnessed two of his confidantes being bitten to death by groups of poisonous snakes, he temporarily suppressed the turmoil in his heart and returned to Dongchang County.

In the following days, while searching for a good way to restrain the poisonous snake, he gave the green light to the floral soap.

March [-] is suitable for breaking ground, moving into a house, setting up a bed, repairing, and opening a business.

On the South Street of Dongchangjuncheng, the Dongchangjun branch of the flower-scented soap specialty store opened.

Li Minggui, governor of Dongchang County, stood at the door of the store, bowed to the shopkeeper, and said auspicious words of blessing.

What are the sayings like "the money flows to the three rivers, and the business is booming all over the world", what "business is like spring, and the money is longer than the flowing water" and so on.

Seeing this, the onlookers whispered again.

One person asked: "Didn't Li Minggui, a dog official, always look down on businessmen? What happened to him today? Did he take the wrong medicine? How could he be so amiable when facing the manager of this shop?"

Another person replied loudly: "I heard that this store is backed by a certain big man in Kyoto, and he is an existence that Li Minggui can't afford to mess with. That's why he pretends to be a grandson here when they open."

Another person said: "Look at the way he smiles, his big yellow teeth are all exposed. I really want to stuff his mouth with some rotten vegetable leaves."

Several people looked at each other, eager to try.

It's not the first time it's been done, anyway.

It just so happens that there are many people here, and there are endless sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums to cover it up.After throwing rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs, they can easily get out of the crowd by just slipping into the crowd.

Keeping Li Minggui can't catch them!

Just as they were about to act, they were stopped by the shopkeeper of the floral soap specialty store.

The shopkeeper knew early on how hated Li Minggui was, so when Li Minggui came, he sent people to mix in the crowd to prevent all kinds of accidents from happening.

Sure enough, not long after Li Minggui arrived, the people below reported that someone was going to take advantage of the chaos and throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Li Minggui.

The shopkeeper stopped a few people and didn't tell them anything, but just said kindly, "The small shop is open today, please raise your hand."

When those people heard this, they immediately dropped the things in their hands, got into the crowd as if fleeing, and disappeared.

The shopkeeper shook his head with a smile, walked back to the door of the store, and politely told Li Minggui to go home quickly, and stop hurting others here.What if someone threw a pile of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the door of my store on the opening day, how embarrassing it would be...

No matter how tactful the shopkeeper said, Li Minggui could still tell that he was rejected.

In normal times, how dare a small shopkeeper dislike him?That is definitely impatient to live.

He can destroy the opponent's family in minutes.

But this time he was disgusted, and he was not angry at all.

Because he knew that behind this little shopkeeper stood the entire Dingguo Mansion.

Even if the little shopkeeper slapped him on the left cheek in public, he still had to pass the right cheek to him with a smile.

Li Minggui bid farewell to the shopkeeper, returned to the government office, and continued to search for a good way to deal with the tens of thousands of poisonous snakes on Duoduo Island...

One day, a confidant of Li Minggui got drunk and accidentally leaked the news that the pirates were destroyed and that the pirates' treasures were hidden in the snake cave.

There was a wave of treasure hunting in Dongchang County immediately.

Some people call friends, some act alone.

However, when they worked so hard to get to Duoduo Island, they were stopped outside the snake cave just like Li Minggui...

……

Jiang Erya didn't have time to pay attention to what happened in Dongchang County.

After she returned to Qingjiang County, she immediately planted the sweet potato vines and sweet potato tubers in front of and behind her house.

After a long period of transportation, most of the sweet potato vines were broken, and the small part that was alive was nourished by the spiritual spring water, so it could barely be used by everyone to watch.

The sweet potato tubers are less bad, and most of them have sprouted.

Those that have sprouted can also be planted directly to produce rattan.

In the entire Xinglin Village, except for Jiang Erniu, everyone was watching.

"Is the plant that Erya brought back from the island really food? Can it really be eaten?"

"I heard from Erya that the grain called sweet potatoes can produce at least three thousand catties per mu of land, and more than five thousand catties!"

"Erya also said that even the barren land on the mountain can be cultivated."

"Let's take a look first. Erya has already planted sweet potatoes. If what she said is true, next year we will go to the hillside to open up wasteland and plant a piece of sweet potatoes..."

next year?

Jiang Erya couldn't wait.

Her task is to try to produce [-] mu of land in Qingjiang County this year.

In order to encourage the rich gentry in Qingjiang County to take out their fields to try planting with her, she took out some sweet potato tubers, made two tables of "sweet potato feasts" by herself, and invited the rich gentry to come and try them.

Roasted sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, sweet potato porridge, shredded sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato vermicelli, shredded sweet potatoes, fried sweet potato stalks...

At the beginning, those gentry and wealthy households were not too afraid to eat it.

They had never seen this thing before.It smells very fragrant, but who knows if it is poisonous?

In order to reassure them, Jiang Erya ate every sweet potato product in front of them.

Jiang Erniu and Sha Xing also ate it.

Even the two female guards in Duke Dingguo's mansion ate, they still didn't dare to use their chopsticks outside Chen Yuan.

Jiang Erya's patience was not very good, her face darkened.

She snorted and said, "Eat!"

Chen Yuanwai and the others trembled in fright, quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dish closest to them, and frantically stuffed them into their mouths.

Jiang Erya rolled her eyes.

These people are cheap, if you invite them to eat with good intentions, but they don't eat, you have to let her be fierce before they will be obedient.

Jiang Erya watched these people gobbling it up, and knocked on the table.

"Eat slowly and savor the taste."

Everyone slowed down, and only then did they taste the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes, the smoothness of sweet potato vermicelli, and the crispness of sweet potato stems...

Member Chen finished eating a roasted sweet potato and said, "It's so delicious!"

Boss Qian and the others nodded in agreement.

The big shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant started thinking carefully.

"Grandma, how many sweet potatoes do you have left, why don't you sell them to Yuelai Restaurant, let us add a few more dishes."

Jiang Erya drank the sweet potato porridge and said, "It's gone. The rest have been planted in the ground to breed seedlings. If you want them, come to me after a while to get the seedlings and plant them yourself..."
