Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Because they had to queue up and press their fingerprints before they could plant sweet potatoes, many people lined up obediently. The smart ones let the young and strong ones go to turn the soil, leaving the elderly and children to queue.

When it is almost their turn, let the children go to the field to call the adults back to put their fingerprints, so that neither end will be delayed at all.

Some people followed suit, and several united families did the same.

Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye were not surprised at all that these families could plant sweet potatoes today.

In the next few days, almost the entire village of Dashan Village was busy planting sweet potatoes. Many elderly people couldn't help but go to the fields to experience planting sweet potatoes. They just put the sweet potato vines in the fields and covered them with soil. It was not hard at all.

For the first time, the villagers of Dashan Village learned that the method of planting sweet potatoes is to directly cut the vines and then stick them into the soil. So, does planting sweet potatoes require seeds?

Some people didn't dare to ask the adults, so they secretly asked Aunt Qi and others. Aunt Qi and others had also been taught by Xin Ye and knew how to answer.

"If you want to know, why don't you observe the growth of sweet potatoes carefully?"

"Can it really be cut and planted again in a month?"

"The exact time depends on how you plant and the weather, but it's not true. Have you forgotten what happened to the Li family and our family before?"

Of course they did not forget, but they did not pay attention to what they planted. By the time they realized it, the sweet potatoes were already planted in the fields. Then in the blink of an eye, a month had passed and the sweet potato vines had become the seedlings they are planting now.

The sweet potatoes are ready to be cut into seedlings and planted again, and the acre of sweet potatoes planted by Yan Yiyi is also ready to be tasted.

Aunt Qi didn't want to waste the sweet potato vines. Those vines were enough for them to plant another acre of sweet potatoes. Xin Ye also thought that they could pick them and sell them, so as to preserve the mystery of sweet potatoes.

Therefore, the sweet potato dishes from Li Ji Grocery Store are sent to the vegetable market in the afternoon, and only customers who go to the store in the afternoon can find the sweet potato dishes.

"Eh? Shopkeeper, what kind of vegetable is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Hey~ It's Sister Wang, welcome, welcome.

This is sweet potato, a wild vegetable my daughter-in-law discovered in the mountains last year. We found it delicious after tasting it, so my daughter-in-law thought of growing sweet potato so that we don’t have to go up the mountain to dig it when we want to eat it in the future.

So this year I finally grew the vegetables and took some out for my neighbors to taste. Would you like to buy a pound to take home and try?

Sweet potato dishes are good for the body and delicious. They are also very easy to make. You can cook them the same way you cook green vegetables. Of course, it will taste better if you add more oil," said Father Li.

Sister Wang is an old customer of Li’s Grocery Store. She is always happy to try new foods they introduce, so this time she bought it without hesitation.

Not long after Sister Wang left, Aunt Zhou came. She was also a regular customer of Li Ji Grocery Store. As soon as she came in, she found that Li Ji Grocery Store had something new. She pointed at the sweet potato dish and asked, "Boss, what kind of vegetable is this? I don't think I've seen it before."

"This is sweet potato dish. We grow it ourselves. It tastes good. Aunt Zhou, would you like to try it?"

"How to sell it?"

"Four cents a pound."

"Why is it more expensive than other vegetables?" She didn't think it was expensive, just a cent or two more, and it's not that she couldn't afford it. She was just curious why it was more expensive than other vegetables and where its value was, that's all.

Father Li said cheerfully: "Things are precious because they are rare. We are the only family in Guyang County that has them. And we don't have them every day. We don't even have 20 kilograms today!

Moreover, sweet potato dishes are not only delicious, but also good for the body.”

"What's a good idea?"

There are many benefits, but he only half understood them, let alone other people?

Father Li picked an effect that everyone could understand and said, "I can't remember the others, but I only remember that it helps with bowel movements and urination, hehe."

Aunt Zhou's eyes lit up. This was great. She hadn't been able to defecate for a few days, and this sweet potato dish just happened to have this effect: "Okay, give me two, no, three pounds!"

"it is good."

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps the effect of sweet potato dishes was just so good, that after eating the sweet potato dishes, Aunt Zhou excreted the filth that had been in her stomach for days early the next morning.

I went to the market when Li Ji Grocery Store opened, and found out: "Hey, boss, don't you have sweet potato vegetables today?"

"No this morning. It takes time to pick the sweet potatoes. My son will deliver them at noon. Would it be possible for you to come over in the afternoon?"

"Okay! This sweet potato dish tastes really good, crispy, sweet and fragrant, but it uses a little bit of oil, hahahaha." Aunt Zhou said with a laugh.

Sister Wang, who also wanted to hurry up to sell sweet potato vegetables, heard the conversation between the two and hurried over: "Boss, if there are any sweet potato vegetables left this afternoon, remember to leave three pounds for me."

"I want three pounds too." Aunt Zhou immediately put away her smile and said seriously, almost forgetting the main business.

"Okay, I'll save it for you." Father Li agreed quickly.

"Boss, are sweet potato dishes sold every day?" asked Sister Wang.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou immediately looked at Father Li and waited for his answer.

Father Li thought for a moment and said, "At least there will be some for half a month."

"Then leave me three pounds every day for the next half month."

"Yes, I also keep three pounds every day."

Father Li nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

In this way, many people in Guyang County know that fresh sweet potato vegetables taste good and are good for the body.

Some people want to buy it, but it’s out of stock, so they can’t buy it even if they want to.

The owner of the restaurant wanted to cooperate with Li’s Grocery Store and ordered dozens of kilograms every day, but was politely declined by Li Adie because they were really out of stock!

Moreover, having learned from previous lessons, Father Li would rather sell to old customers who support their shop than to restaurants.

The magistrate and other officials were happy that the sweet potato dishes sold by Li's Grocery Store were popular among the people. When the sweet potatoes were ripe in the future, Li's Grocery Store could use the same method to make the people accept them.

It is much easier for people to accept it if it is spread to other places through word of mouth of the people of Guyang County than if they directly post notices.

After receiving Ren Huaimin's letter, Mu Jiasong agreed to send a team of guards to protect the batch of sweet potatoes. However, the emperor felt that it was not appropriate to mobilize a large number of people and asked the county magistrate to send yamen runners to intimidate a few people.

At the same time, the emperor and Mu Jiasong began to discuss the next sweet potato planting site.

His mother wanted to grow sweet potatoes, so he would definitely fulfill her little wish. Moreover, the capital city really needed a batch of seeds to test the area where sweet potatoes could grow.

If sweet potatoes could be grown in the capital, they wouldn't have to wait for Guyang County to send a few pitiful baskets of sweet potatoes from far away, where they could only taste the newness but not eat enough to their satisfaction.

So, this batch of sweet potatoes that have not yet matured have already found a destination - all sent back to the capital!

As for the sweet potatoes harvested in autumn, they will be kept locally as seeds, and other villages in Guyang County will begin to grow sweet potatoes on a large scale.
