Chapter 92 Good things

She patted the bundle and said meaningfully to Huo Yunzhou: "I know that most of the food in your army is rough, and it is impossible to buy fine grains, but these sweet potatoes are definitely good things. They can be roasted, steamed or boiled, although they are not as filling as grains. I feel sick, but when I go out to fight, I bring a few steamed ones with me. I won’t starve to death, and I can also fill my stomach. There are many ways to make sweet potatoes. When I get a machine to make sweet potato powder, it will taste delicious. "

Huo Yunzhou already understood what she meant. Just a few days after her biological father passed away, she had already recovered as before. She no longer had a sad face every day. Compared with her sister who shed tears all day long, you can see how strong her character is.

The more this happened, the more Huo Yunzhou became determined to marry her.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "You bribe me first and then ask me to do things for you, but how much can you harvest from your ten acres of sweet potato land?"

There are 5 people stationed at the northern pass, and their general has about 1 people. If she really wants to purchase her sweet potatoes, even ten acres more will not be enough.

Of course, Shen Qing knew this, "I have only planted two acres in total, and because this land was previously uncultivated, it was the first time I cultivated it to plant sweet potatoes, so it was inevitable that the base fertilizer would not be able to keep up. I estimate that one acre can weigh more than 2000 kilograms at most. After you leave, we will harvest the first season, and plant the second season in more than a month. By then, all ten acres of land will be planted with sweet potatoes, and the output can be doubled. You can do the math for yourself!" So! Sweet potato flour is also made in the second season, but now there are not enough raw materials.

Huo Yunzhou thought about it for a while, and it seemed feasible. "You wait until I go back to discuss it with the general before I write to you. Are you literate?"

"I recognize a few of them, so you write them more simply."

"No problem, just wait for the good news from me at home!"

After sending Huo Yunzhou away, Shen Qing was not in a hurry to find Zheng Bo. She had already dragged people around Mrs. Song's house to keep an eye on her, and would notify her whenever Zheng Bo showed up, so there was no rush.

The most important thing now is harvesting sweet potatoes.

Boss Fan drove his old cow down the mountain to help her plow the ground to harvest sweet potatoes.

He drove the old ox in front and drove the iron plow through the furrows. The plow was so deep that the ridges on both sides were turned over and the sweet potatoes hidden underneath were exposed.

Shen Qing, Shen Hui, Granny Shen and Uncle Huo, the four of them either carried baskets or bamboo baskets on their backs. When they were full, they carried them to the field and dumped them together.

Huo Lin and Cao Yong transported them home.

Cao Yong is here to deliver the oven. It is already ready and is being sent to Shen Qing for acceptance.

This was made by Master Ma himself, and the quality was beyond praise. Because Shen Qing flattered him, Cao Yong had no choice but to follow suit.

In fact, he is not stupid, he just didn't find the right path. Moreover, the master leads him in, and cultivation depends on each person. Many people who learn craftsmanship depend on their understanding. Cao Yong just has a poor understanding.

Now that he's here, there's no reason to let him go.

Cao Yong was almost dead from exhaustion, and Huo Lin was also exhausted. After all, this was real hard work, and they were not donkeys.

Cao Yong felt that Shen Qingzhen was scheming and would always find another opportunity to take back the benefits she gave.

All the sweet potatoes were brought to the main room, and the good ones were picked out for seeding, buried in the cellar, and raised as seedlings.

The Huo family originally had a cellar, but it had not been used for many years and needed to be repaired. There was also a nest of rats living in it.

Huo Yunzhou temporarily burned some gray bricks and used plant ash to lay a thick layer. The walls were laid with bricks and the floor was laid with wooden boards.

After working all night, I sorted out three square cellars, which were just perfect for piling sweet potatoes.

However, Shen Qing did not let them transport the sweet potatoes to the cellar. She only kept the breeding ones and piled the rest in the main room. When the weather was good, they would take them out to dry while she waited for Huo Yunzhou to come back to purchase.

Sweet potatoes are definitely a rarity in the military.

Huo Yunzhou's journey was not to mention how comfortable it was. There was food, drink, and wine. This was not a rush, but a picnic.So when he returned to the camp, not only was his face not tired from the journey, it was even glowing.

Several close comrades came over to joke with him.

"Hey! Look how happy you are. Are you going to get a wife from your hometown?" The speaker was Shi Dali, who looked like a bear and was a strong type. I heard he could lift a tripod weighing a thousand kilograms.

Another thin man also squeezed over and asked with a sly look on his face: "Hey, you are already old now. It's time to get a wife. I have a sister from my hometown who is about the same age as you. How about she become your wife?" "

His nickname is Zhang Tuozi. Although he is ugly, he is still hunchbacked, but to be able to gain a foothold in this army and to be brothers with Huo Yunzhou, he must have unique skills.

Zhang Tuozi is the best at gathering information. The source is unknown, but his accuracy is extremely high, and he is highly regarded by the general.

There is also Jiang Da, who is not very good-looking and is the nephew of the general, but he did not come in through the back door. He has real information. He is Huo Yunzhou's deputy.

After listening to Zhang Tuozi's words, Jiang Da raised his foot and kicked Zhang Tuozi, "We Captain Huo is a talented person with a smart mind and extraordinary strength. Looking at your appearance, I can guess what your sister looks like." , you should shut up quickly!"

Shi Dali puffed out his belly and laughed, "That's right."

Huo Yunzhou listened to them chattering, but said nothing. He just opened the bag, took out a few oil paper bags, and threw them to them.

Several people caught it and couldn't wait to open it, calling it a good thing.

Although life in the army is hard, they are different from ordinary soldiers. They have independent camps and a private collection of good wine. These snacks are really delicious when used with wine.

Shi Dali was addicted to alcohol and was about to drag them to the camp to drink. Anyway, he was not on duty today.

Zhang Tuozi was very happy, "Okay, let's go now! I still have some beef left over."

Jiang Da shook his head, "The captain and I are going to the general to discuss military affairs. You go ahead and remember to leave some good wine for us."

After the two people left, Jiang Da stared at the baggage he brought with interest, "Do you have any good stuff here? What is this?" He picked up a sweet potato, looked at it, and smelled it. .

Huo Yunzhou hooked his shoulder and said, "Let's talk about it after we meet the general."

Jiang Da saw his happy expression and poured cold water on him lazily, "You really went home and got married, right?"

"That's not true, but the candidate has been found. After the Chinese New Year, the general and I will take a few days off and go back to the church to get married." After the Chinese New Year, Shen Qing will be fourteen and can get married. I hope she can take care of herself better this year.

Huo Yunzhou didn't like hemp straw. He held it in his hands, and he was afraid of breaking it due to its heavy weight.

As I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a fire in my heart, itching and numbness.

Jiang Da shook him off fiercely, jumped out a few feet away, and stared at him defensively and disgustedly, "What are you thinking about?"

Huo Yunzhou's hand was still raised in the air, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Da scolded: "Mother, tonight I will take you to the city to find a girl to calm your anger."

Huo Yunzhou's eyes turned cold, "Brother, could it be that he wants to harm me?"

Jiang Da was puzzled, "How do you say this?"
