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

When Hua Feifan came back to his senses, his wife had already started chatting with his son-in-law. He couldn't help but be fascinated as they talked about the couple's life in the countryside over the past year.

Especially when they heard him talk about the discovery of sweet potatoes, Hua Feifan and Chen Youyou pricked up their ears and listened. In the letter, the eldest son only mentioned it briefly, and then they learned that the emperor had rewarded him, but there was no detail at all.

Xin Ye followed the routine he and Yan Yiyi had made up and said that his father had eaten sweet potatoes by chance in the past in order to survive while escorting a bodyguard. Later, his father took him to the mountain and found sweet potatoes there, so he dug them up and roasted them for him to eat, and he took note of it.

Their family was not a typical country family and did not make a living by farming, so they had never thought about growing sweet potatoes until he took his wife to the mountains to hunt. It happened to be the sweet potato season, so he went to dig some sweet potatoes and share them with his wife.

Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law liked it very much after eating it, and she suddenly had an idea to plant it. Then they tried to plant a small plot of land in the vegetable garden at home. After the harvest, they were surprised to find that it was a high-yield grain.

There were not many seeds found on the mountain and sweet potatoes harvested at home, so they tried to plant one acre of the only two acres of dry land at home. After several months, they determined that this was a high-yield grain with an output of several thousand kilograms per acre, and they reported it to the county magistrate.

The subsequent matters were all handled by the county magistrate. They were only responsible for planting sweet potatoes in the village. Their family did not have enough dry land, and the family savings were mostly spent on their father's medical treatment. Since their own land was not enough, they turned to their uncles, aunts and uncles who were on good terms with them. Fortunately, they were all good people, and they trusted them, so they joined them in planting.

As more people planted, there were more seeds. The county magistrate personally followed up on the planting and even came to dig sweet potatoes together.

After the magistrate successfully reported the matter to the court, the emperor immediately arranged for agricultural officials to go to the village and help them plant crops. The daughter-in-law also suggested that the entire village plant crops together, which earned the villagers a lot of money this year. The villagers were very grateful to the daughter-in-law.

Hua Feifan and Chen Youyou didn't expect things to turn out like this. The son-in-law started studying farming just to satisfy his daughter's appetite. But he said that their family basically didn't do much farming, and the two acres of land were just for the villagers to grow some vegetables.

Sweet potatoes are a fresh crop, and even farmers with decades of experience may not be able to grow them in one go. Unexpectedly, the two of them were able to grow them successfully.

The couple's favorable impression of their son-in-law increased instantly.

What follows is the story of his encounter with Hua Murong. Xin Ye said that his wife was lucky as she had dug up ginseng in the mountains. He wanted to buy her more clothes and jewelry. Moreover, his wife had not left the house for a long time since she married him. She always stayed at home with him to study how to grow sweet potatoes or go hunting in the mountains. He wanted to take his wife to the city for a stroll during the slack season.

Having been to the county too many times, I thought of going to the county town, and by chance I met my eldest brother again.

At this time, Hua Murong couldn't help but start talking. On the way back, she talked about the new variety they discovered on the way here - corn. Unexpectedly, they also discovered a new variety on the way back - water spinach.

"Really? After we finish eating the tenderest cabbage hearts, we soak the sprouted stems at the bottom in water for a few days, then take them back to plant in the vegetable garden. They can be eaten in less than a month." Hua Murong talked about this incident. If she had not participated in it personally, she would never have believed such a magical thing.

Hua Muyu added: "If it weren't for the fact that water spinach is not susceptible to cold, my brother-in-law would have brought some for you to try!

Dad, Mom, my brother-in-law has come all the way from the mountain village to bring you some fresh sweet potatoes. Let him show off his cooking skills tonight and you can try some too. It’s rare to get to eat fresh green vegetables in winter!”

"What!? It's actually fresh, not dried?" Hua Feifan was quite shocked, "Can this sweet potato vegetable withstand the cold?"

Xin Ye shook his head: "No, we put charcoal in the carriage and carefully raised them all the way here. After picking them, they will probably be kept in a greenhouse like this. After a while, they will grow back and be edible.

When the weather gets warmer in the spring, my parents can plant the vegetables in the vegetable garden or the flower field in front. Then everyone in the Hua Mansion will be able to eat sweet potato dishes.

As for water spinach, I brought a packet of seeds. When the weather gets warmer in late spring or early summer, I can plant it. I can eat the first crop of water spinach in about a month.

The whole water spinach can be harvested several times, with each harvest taking less than a month, so the growth rate is quite fast. "

After hearing his introduction, Hua Feifan and Chen Youyou wished that they could plant the water spinach right now when the weather got warmer in spring, watch it grow with their own eyes, and finally become a delicacy on the table.

At this time, Hua Bei had finally finished processing and pulled over the local specialties that Xin Ye brought from the village. Hua Feifan and Chen Youyou watched Hua Bei and others lift a wooden frame from the carriage, with green vines hanging from the frame.

Chen Youyou's eyes lit up: "This is sweet potato dish!?"

"Yes, mother, let them carry it into the house. It's too cold here." Yan Yiyi reminded.

Xin Ye went over to help move things. In addition to three racks of sweet potato dishes, there were also many dried vegetables, such as dried mushrooms, dried yams, dried wild vegetables, etc.; chili sauce and pork sauce were indispensable, and the sweet potatoes that were harvested later brought another carriage; except for two jars of newly brewed wine that were left in the cellar at home, all other wines were packed up and brought over.

These things...are so sincere!

This son-in-law is great!

"Is this really wine?" Hua Feifan was overjoyed holding a jar of wine. You know, wine is in short supply now, and only a small amount is produced every year. He couldn't grab many jars. He didn't expect that his son-in-law actually brought him more than ten jars, and they were big jars!

Hahahaha, he is indeed his good son-in-law and has won his heart deeply!

Seeing the joy on his father-in-law's face, Xin Ye raised his lips and calmly introduced: "These smaller jars were brewed by my wife and I last year.

These large jars were brewed by my eldest brother and I this year. The newly brewed ones will taste even better after a few months. Dad and Mom can drink these small jars first."

"Eldest son, second son, and third son, can you also make wine?" Hua Feifan looked at his three sons in surprise, especially the second son. If the recipe came into his hands, would it mean that he could not only sell it to the outside world, but also satisfy his father's preferences?

"Yeah~ it's quite simple. My brother-in-law teaches me well. I can learn it after trying it once." Hua Muyu said proudly with her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

Hua Feifan was extremely happy when he got the correct answer.
