Playful peasant girl made a fortune: uncle begged to take it away

Chapter 14 Planting Sweet Potatoes

Back home, Mingyu saw the other half of the yard that was still empty and nothing to plant, turned her head and asked, "Daddy, do we usually have nothing else to eat except sweet potatoes?"

It suddenly occurred to me that since I traveled here, I have been eating sweet potatoes for half a month, and I can't help feeling a little tired.

Hearing Mingyu's words, the man thought it was because the child was young, and after eating sweet potatoes for a long time, he started to get greedy and wanted to eat something else.I felt sad for a while, because I was useless. In the past, the family could eat a meal of brown rice every few days. Since the old man passed away, I can only let my children and wives eat sweet potatoes.

Eye sockets turned red, and he reached out to touch Mingyu's head and said, "What would Mingyu want to eat? Daddy got 100 coins this time plus the remaining 45 coins from last time. I will buy them for you when I go to the town market tomorrow." OK."

Looking at the daughter who was about to grow up, the dry and rough hair was tied with a piece of cloth torn from an old dress, and I felt even more guilty.Whose daughter is so old, don't all of them have one or two beaded flowers tied on their heads, or worse, they are all tied with a few red strings.

Seeing that her words actually made the man feel guilty, Mingyu couldn't help feeling depressed.I'm really not hungry.

Mingyu pulled the man who was still feeling guilty and said, "Daddy, I just think it's a pity that the land in the yard is empty, and I just want to plant something."

Hearing Mingyu's words, the man who came to his senses couldn't help but smiled and said, "Generally, the staple food of people is sweet potatoes, and those who are slightly better can occasionally eat some brown rice. Rice is something that only noble people eat. Because We have a lot of water here, and generally no one grows wheat, but rice, which can be used to pay taxes during the autumn harvest, and the rest can be exchanged for money.”

After hearing this, Mingyu also understood that rice is a very precious thing here.The only thing that can be used as a staple food is sweet potatoes.

"Then dad, let's turn over the yard to grow sweet potatoes, it will save a lot of money."

The man thought about it for a while, so he started to turn over the ground. After the ground in the yard was turned over, Mingyu saw the man take out all the sweet potatoes, and then picked out the big ones.

Mingyu thought it was to put the big ones away and plant the small ones.In the end, after the men had all picked out, they put the small one back into the bag, and handed the big one to Mingyu, and asked Mingyu to put them one by one in the ditch dug before, Mingyu suddenly became restless. up.

What is this called, this is called waste, waste, waste.In fact, you only need to use small sweet potatoes. Pay attention to fertilization in the future, and the harvest will be the same.

"Daddy, why not use those little ones?"

The man looked at Mingyu holding the sweet potatoes and refused to put them in the ground, thinking that Mingyu was reluctant, so he said, "Mingyu is good, only use big and good sweet potatoes as seeds, and then you can get a lot of sweet potatoes, don't I can't bear it."

Mingyu almost vomited when she heard the man's words, and didn't explain, "Daddy, it's better to use the small one. When the time comes, people will fertilize it a lot, and they will definitely get a lot of sweet potatoes."

The man looked at Mingyu with reluctance and reluctance, and thought for a while. Anyway, before, it was a waste to plant it empty. Now that he planted it, he could get as much as he could get. Seeing the hairband on Mingyu's head, the man He didn't want to let his daughter down even more, so he nodded and agreed.

After planting the ground in the yard, he found that there were still many small sweet potatoes. Mingyu thought that the open space outside the yard that had been cut clean by tomorrow and tomorrow could actually be turned over to plant sweet potatoes.

Then he turned to his father and said, "Daddy, these small ones are not so wasteful. Let's turn over the open space outside the yard and plant them all. Then we won't have to exchange food with others."

Hearing his daughter's words, the man felt a burst of emotion in his heart. The daughter has grown up and knows to take care of the family. Seeing that it is still early, he agrees. After working hard all afternoon, he went to change some sweet potatoes and came back. The fields that have been mowed are planted.

As for the two little guys, they are responsible for taking care of the rabbits and drying the mushrooms.When the man saw Mingyu and the others drying mushrooms, he didn't say anything, and followed them happily.
