Lingquan, a peasant girl: the bully in the whole family is just me

Chapter 62 Sweet Potatoes
Yao Xiangbei disagreed, "If you don't plant it for a few years, whose land can harvest a hundred catties of grain?"

I have never planted land, and I know how food grows. "We don't ask for a large yield when we plant land, but for peace of mind. In any case, living in the village, we can have a few acres of grain, and we can feel at ease."

Yao Sanshun had nothing to say. Why didn't his father ask for peace of mind when the family was suffering?
Yao Xiangbei glared at him, "At that time, there was no crop failure in the village, and there would be no major disasters. If we mess around, we can mess up. Now Nanyang County may be in trouble. Even if we have surplus food, if we don't do it Doesn't it make people hate you for acting like that?"

It is easy for bullies to understand the logic of bullies.

"So it's just for show." Yao Sanshun heaved a sigh of relief, he thought his father had also changed his sex.

Yao Lan took out a green leaf and said, "We don't plant rice, but sweet potatoes."

"Sweet potato? This?" Yao Xiangbei looked at the leaf in her hand, and was even more puzzled after getting her nod, "Isn't this pigweed?"

Yao Lan said angrily, "Father, can't you say something nice?"

"Has father-in-law ever raised pigs?" Yan Yuanhao asked.

Yao Xiangbei shook his head: "No."

Yan Yuanhao then asked: "Then how do you know it's pigweed?"

Yao Xiangbei thought it was right. He had never raised pigs before, but Lizheng's daughter-in-law cut this thing to make pigweed, "Is it pigweed or wild vegetables? How can it be used as food?"

Yao Lan said: "This thing is called sweet potato. It doesn't pick the land, and the yield is very good."

Yao Xiangbei has seen such weeds in the mountains, at most they are wild vegetables, "Doesn't food grow on poles? There are also grains that grow underground?"

Yan Yuanhao gave an example: "Yams and radishes also grow underground."

"That's not food." Yao Xiangbei corrected.

"Sweet potatoes are." Yao Lan said, she also found it by accident on the mountain, and she has been quietly irrigated with spiritual spring water for a while, and now it should be able to be transplanted with ivy.

Although sweet potatoes are prone to flatulence after eating, they can be used as food to satisfy the hunger, especially since they do not require careful care like rice, and do not require high soil fertility. The Yao family is perfect for planting.

"Really?" Yao Xiangbei looked at his son-in-law, obviously such a thing was thought up by "Fu Xing".

Yao Lan was depressed: Father, I suggested it, I am your own.

"Fu Xing" nodded without hesitation, "It's absolutely true."

After a pause, he said with great desire to survive: "The left and right are wild in the mountains, and it doesn't matter if they don't grow well."

"That's right, Dad, it's not worthwhile to grow rice on our land." Yao Sanshun didn't even want to grow rice, it was too tiring.

Yao Xiangbei was not a firm-willed person either, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

The Yao family did what they said, and quickly harvested all the vegetables in the field and planted sweet potatoes.

From a distance, it feels like new vegetables have been planted.

Now is the time for double robbing, and the work in the field is the most intense. Almost the whole village, old and young, are stuck in the field. Even Sister Yao Qing is stuck working in the field regardless of the daily income of dozens of copper coins.

In the past, Yao's second family was the most idle at this time.

This time of the year is still the most idle time in their house.

Some people couldn't help complaining: Alas, there is no reason, even a bully can be taken care of by God.

Living in the best house in the village, serving servants and serving maids and eating white rice every day, and now just growing some vegetables, life is too good.

Li Zheng didn't like these signs. In the past, it was fine for people to do evil, but now they not only behaved well, but also made such a magic weapon as a waterwheel to benefit the village. Otherwise, would the village's food be kept this year?
dream!

Even if someone has done bad things, it is as good as keeping everyone's harvest this year, and that is enough.

Everyone thought about it, and someone couldn't help muttering, "Every time that person said that he was prosperous, he would never forget the people in the village. I didn't expect it to be true."

In the past, Yao Xiangbei, his son and others begged for nothing and went to the village to eat and drink. The most common saying was: "When I get rich in the future, I will definitely take care of the village."

In the beginning, some people believed in it, but later on, no one believed it. Besides, there was a group of people who wanted to beat people up.

Now that it is mentioned again, it seems that I can believe it again.

Compared with the food for a season or even a lifetime, the Yao family's small fights in the past are really nothing.

After all, the Yao family didn't take the initiative to inform them, so how could they have thought of such an artifact?

The reduction in grain production in several surrounding villages is true.

Even if the artifact was conceived by the son-in-law, the son-in-law also bought it with money from the Yao family.

"That's right, his father is a very kind person. He...he looks good now, and the third child of the Yao family is actually good. The boss of the Yao family is really not a thing."

"That's right, if boss Yao didn't do such a thing back then, would the two brothers have suffered so much? If the family had some property, they wouldn't have let the wife run away."

"I've never seen such a big brother. He's so cruel. He doesn't look like the Yao family at all."

Everyone used to scold Yao Xiangbei before, but this time they got a great benefit and helped their family scold Boss Yao.

The villagers are so simple and unpretentious, firmly standing on the side that is beneficial to them.

After all, they have benefited from Yao's second son, but never from Yao's boss.

Yao Xiangbei doesn't care what the villagers say, he also cares about Yao Xiangnan, the grain in the field must be dried after harvest, the village has not reduced production this year, and everyone is crowded at the same time to harvest, and the land for drying the grain must be seized of.

Yao Xiangnan's family is all daughters, and the yard at home is as big as a palm like the second brother's old house, and there is not much grain to dry.

The front yard of Yao Xiangbei's house was big enough, and he said earlier that he would accept the millet from the third family at the price in the city, so he asked Yao Xiangnan to pick the millet to dry in his yard.

Drying millet is not a physical job, but it needs someone to watch it, which can save a lot of labor. Yao Xiangnan is very grateful.

"Second brother, what kind of food do you have? It's so green." Yao Xiangnan asked casually.

Yao Xiangbei didn't hide anything, "Sweet potato."

Yao Xiangnan had never heard of sweet potatoes, and looked familiar, "Sweet potatoes? Why do they look like pigweed?"

Yao Xiangbei was unhappy, and said fiercely: "What do you know? You have never raised pigs before!"

Yao Xiangnan: "..."

"This sweet potato is a good thing. It can be used as food to fill your stomach when it is ripe!" Yao Xiangbei was very proud to promote the new variety discovered by his son-in-law.

Yao Xiangnan was skeptical, the seedlings at home were ready, and the rice planting was going to be done next, so let's forget about this kind of pigweed.

"Are you sure this thing can grow food?" Yan Yuanhao looked at it as ordinary weeds, not even weeds.

"of course."

"What was that like?"

"In all shapes and sizes."

Yan Yuanhao raised his eyebrows slightly, are you sure it's no joke?

"Just eat tubers. Tubers come in various shapes. Eating them can help you lose weight."
