Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 583 Touring the Mountain and Meeting a Little Evil Monk (1)
Li Yunxiao yelled, jumped away like a rabbit, and said, "Don't hit someone on the head. I'm already 14 years old, and you still hit me on the head."

"Don't run away!" Li Jingjing chased after her, gave Li Yunxiao two more shudders on the forehead, and said angrily: "You are so cowardly, you dare to lie to me! Do you think you will dare next time?"

Li Yunxiao shouted: "Sister, I am deceiving you in good faith."

When all the soldiers saw Zhuangyuan Lang, they all held back their laughter and dared not speak out.

At this moment from the village below there was a very loud uproar, and it was not known what was happening.

Li Yunxiao asked nervously: "Sister, what sound do you hear?"

"Many people are shouting, as for what they are shouting, I can't hear clearly." Li Jingjing couldn't calm down at this moment, and walked down the mountain quickly.

Li Yunxiao rushed forward cautiously, and said loudly: "Sister, you and I are walking among the soldiers."

As the two brothers and sisters walked down the mountain, the more they heard it, it was the joyous cheers of the villagers of the whole village, one after another like the tide, one higher than the other.

"Potato harvest!"

"One potato plant makes many potatoes!"

"There are potatoes to eat this winter, so I don't have to go hungry again!"

Li Yunxiao was very pleasantly surprised, and shouted: "Sister, you made the potatoes grown by the farmers succeed."

Li Jingjing was full of joy, looked at the back of Li Yunxiao rushing into the village like the wind, shook her head slightly, and said to herself: "Young boy Xiao will never grow up."

In Yexing Village, from seniors in their seventies to babies over one year old, all the villagers are immersed in the joy of digging potatoes and reaping a good harvest.

There was a little dirt on Qin Er's official robe, holding two huge yellow potatoes in both hands, ran out from the crowd, and shouted excitedly at Li Jingjing: "Princess, one plant can produce three or four catties of potatoes!" , The yield of potatoes per mu in Shatian has reached more than [-] catties!"

Li Jingjing saw that Qin Er, who was over [-] years old, was not calm, and said with a smile: "I was afraid that I would scare you by mentioning the production of potatoes, so I will say less."

Qin Er stopped and presented the potatoes with soil as treasures to Li Jingjing, laughed a few times, and Fang said: "Princess, you said before that it was six hundred catties, but now the output is more than four times. You really put the next The officials and others have been lied to."

Li Jingjing said in a low voice: "I didn't even tell the truth to my second brother. Just now he was afraid that the peasants would scold me, so he pretended to be sick and took me to the mountain. Come on, you take me to dig some potatoes in the field and let me see it with my own eyes. Look."

Qin Er asked suspiciously, "Potatoes?"

Li Jingjing took a potato, pointed to it and said, "Potatoes are commonly called potatoes. You can see that it grows beans like fruits in the soil..."

Qin Er shook his head and said, "Potatoes are much bigger than beans."

The aged Lizheng, who seemed to be a teenager younger, shouted at the ecstatic villagers stuck at the entrance of the village: "Come on, the princess is going to dig potatoes by the Yellow River!"

Every household in Yexing Village has at least half an acre of sandy soil fields. There is one along the mountain, and a large one beside the Yellow River. These fields were not used to grow crops, and they were all left unused. Naturally, they are not called fields, but they were planted this year. It was called Narita after the potato.

Lizheng's family has a large population, and the sandy soil fields are the most, about two mu, all of which are on the banks of the Yellow River.

He and his family's grandchildren and the big yellow dog trotting ahead led the way, leading Li Jingjing and Li Yunxiao over.

The chaotic Yellow River flows eastward in a mighty way. Occasionally, there are water birds flying in the sky above the wide river. The hundreds of acres of sandy soil fields on the river bank are all potatoes. The green leaves are connected together, like a green ocean, which is spectacular and seductive.

The sand field of Lizheng's house is at the very edge, less than twenty feet away from the Yellow River.Lizheng's wife, several sons and daughters-in-law had already rushed to the place, digging potatoes with thick sticks, small shovels and other tools.

Beside them were several old old bamboo baskets, one of which was half full of potatoes.

Li Jingjing took the small rusty shovel from Lizheng's wife, squatted on the ground, pushed aside the stems and leaves, and went down with a few shovels, revealing the yellow potatoes, and then dug the soil around it with her hands, All the potatoes were pulled out vigorously.

"Princess, there are six potatoes in this litter. Each one is not big, but the quantity is a lot, weighing four catties." Qin Er moved over as he spoke, but was blocked by Li Yunxiao.

Li Jingjing asked: "My hometown, do you know how to eat it?"

Li Zheng laughed and said, "Boil, bake, steam."

Li Yunxiao reminded: "Sister, you have sent people to teach Lizheng and farming experts in various counties how to eat potatoes."

Qin Er patted Lizheng on the shoulder and said, "Old Lizheng, quickly arrange for the villagers to cook some potatoes for the princess and the son to try!"

After a while, Lizheng's two daughters-in-law came over with a dustpan of about twenty boiled potatoes.

The aroma of potatoes wafted away, and the villagers swallowed when they smelled it, and asked their women to get some potatoes to cook and eat.

Li Jingjing washed her hands with the water of the Yellow River, and she picked the smallest potato, peeled it and ate it. The taste was slightly sweet, just like the ones eaten in the palace.

Qin Er and Li Yunxiao both peeled the skin and ate it, but the Lizheng family members were reluctant to eat it together with the skin.

As Lizheng's wife ate and ate, her complexion became more and more ugly, and suddenly she couldn't help crying in pain.

Li Zheng saw that several nobles were looking at his wife, thinking that he usually bullied her, so he hurried over and asked anxiously: "Old lady, why are you crying?"

"I was wrong. I'm a prodigal." Lizheng's wife tightly held the half potato in her hand, opened her mouth wide and cried, "I shouldn't have stopped you from watering, weeding, and fertilizing the potato fields."

Li Zheng let out a long sigh. When he learned about the yield of potatoes per mu, he was really angry with his wife, but he couldn't just divorce his wife who had given everything to the family for many years because of this.

Lizheng's wife continued to cry: "If the sandy land is watered and fertilized, the yield will be higher. These potatoes are the rations that can save people's lives. I just stop you like this, and I just jumped into it." Huang He is ashamed of his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he is dead."

Lizheng's wife is over 60 years old and the grandmother of more than a dozen grandsons and granddaughters, crying in front of the whole village and nobles.

When she cried like this, it actually touched the hearts of many people in the village. Like her, they not only refused to water the sandy fields, but also refused to let their families do it.

"Our family's sandy field is guarding the Yellow River. The water source is so close, and the potatoes have never been watered."

"It's a crime. How many catties of potatoes just disappeared."
