Shen Yunxi nodded and said: "It should be fine. If you don't believe me, we will start digging now. Anyway, we can't dig so much in three or two days. Besides, our rice is mature and should be harvested. Until then, we'll dig sweet potatoes at the door and turn them into threshing grounds to dry the rice."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Lu felt that Shen Yunxi was right. "Okay, let's not dig in the ground, but dig these sweet potatoes in front of our house. After all, there should be a threshing ground."

Almost every household in Lihua Village grows sweet potatoes at the door.Now it is said that instead of digging in the ground, people dig at the door first.They started digging early in the morning.

Of course, there are also yamen officials sent by Lu County Magistrate here.

After simple drying, it is continuously transported to the county for storage.These sweet potatoes did well because they were home grown with a lot of weeding and drainage and lots of fertilizer.

Especially the sweet potatoes from Shen Yunxi's family had a better output this time, reaching more than 7000 catties.Some sweet potatoes have a good yield, five to six thousand catties, and some sweet potatoes have a poor yield, four to five thousand catties.

Since it is for the ministers in the capital, of course it depends on the level of production.The county magistrate, Mr. Lu, immediately stopped Shen Yunxi's family from digging the remaining one-eight mu of land, and left it to the ministers in the capital to dig.

Other people's sweet potatoes are being dug in full swing, and there is an endless stream of cars transporting sweet potatoes.

Seven Widows' tea stall business is much better.Not only county government officials drink tea, but also coachmen, as do the surrounding villages.Earning one or two hundred Wen a day is better than working for others.

It has to be said that cats have their ways, dogs have their ways, and smart people have many ways to make money.If the seven widows put their minds on making money and running the family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can live a happy life.

Shen Yunxi was worried that the rice in the field would not be harvested in time when the rice was ripe, which would affect the yield, so he dug his own sweet potato field of more than one mu and the remaining open space in the yard, and then compacted it with stones to form a threshing ground. .

Master Lu was free, so under the leadership of Shen Yunxi and Village Chief Tian, ​​he went to the rice fields to have a look.

When Master Lu saw it, he was stunned.

He was born into a big family.Before he became an official, although he didn't work all over the body or distinguish the five grains, he was not proficient in farming.Hearing that the imperial envoy Zhang Zhao came to Shanyang County, he actively did various things.

He not only manages the commerce of the county seat, but also manages the security of various places, and also walks around the fields, listening to the old farmers talk about the land.

He had seen local rice ears, but they were not that big.But the ears of rice in the former Lihua village are not only big, but also full of grains.Pick one that is heavy in your hand.

Lord Lu waved his hand and said to the guards beside him, "Go to the rice fields in another village and help me pick ten ears of rice."

Although the guards were confused, the lord ordered.He immediately rode to the neighboring village.

Chief Tamura is very proud.He knew that magistrate Lu wanted to compare the ears of rice in their rice fields with those in other villages.The result is undoubtedly that the ears of rice in their village are bigger.

Because he and Tian Ergou often go to other villages to compare each other after the earing of the rice.

Once, he secretly grabbed rice ears and was regarded as a thief.He was chased for several miles.

Tian Daniu unconsciously took Mr. Lu to his rice field.He is generous and eloquent, and he is neither humble nor overbearing in front of the county magistrate.

"Lord Lu, there are still fish in my rice field. The fish I ate at the village chief's house this afternoon is the rice flower fish I raised in the rice field. Those who grew up eating insects, rice flowers and algae in the rice field, whether it is cooked Soup or braised, both are delicious.”
