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

Yan Yiyi took the sweet potato and began to peel it, explaining as she peeled it: "You can eat the skin, but it tastes better after peeling it."

After saying that, she took a big bite of the sweet potato. The sweet potato was already cold and not as fragrant as when it was just out of the pot, but it was still as sweet.

After his daughter-in-law finished the demonstration, Xin Ye followed closely and ate half of the sweet potato in two bites. He took the skin from his daughter-in-law, wrapped it in paper, and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

When the magistrate and the legal advisor saw this scene, they looked back at the sweet potatoes in their hands and felt full without even eating.

However, his action of distributing sweet potatoes to them and eating them first pleased the two of them, and although they were not worried that they would poison them, his attitude was very good.

The two learned how to peel the fruit, then sniffed it. It was sweet and fragrant, and smelled quite good. They took a small bite, savored it carefully, and their eyes lit up.

They finished half a sweet potato in just a few bites. Although it was a bit choking, after drinking a sip of tea, they felt a little full.

It will be lunch time in half an hour. I am usually a little hungry at this time, but now I feel full after eating half a stick. It's really strange.

In a flash, the magistrate and the legal advisor seemed to have understood the purpose of their visit and deeply comprehended what their "major issues for the people" were.

What good stuff that can feed the people!

This is a big deal!

"Where did you find this sweet potato?"

Xin Ye looked at his wife, but she didn't tell him how to answer!

Yan Yiyi gave him a soothing look and replied, "We found these sweet potatoes on the mountain next to our home, but there aren't many. My husband and I have already dug them all up."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate and the legal advisor were a little disappointed. After all, if there were so many good things like this, the people would have discovered them long ago.

"Don't worry, my two adults. My husband and I have already planted an acre of land. In a few months, we will harvest thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes."

The magistrate suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Yan Yiyi in shock: "What did you say? The yield per mu is over a thousand catties?"

Yan Yiyi pretended to be confused and said, "It should be okay. My husband and I planted these a few months ago. At that time, we planted one ridge and harvested two or three hundred kilograms. We can plant five ridges per acre. If we calculate it this way, it should be over a thousand kilograms, right?"

"You planted this!" The master was also not calm, "So, you have mastered the method of growing sweet potatoes?"

"I guess so, but the problem is, there are not many seeds." Yan Yiyi spread his hands, looking like "there's nothing I can do."

The magistrate asked again: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​growing sweet potatoes?"

"At first, my husband and I went hunting in the mountains. We were hungry at noon, and my husband found some sweet potatoes. He had eaten them before, so he dug them up and gave them to me. I found them delicious, and I could feel full after eating just one sweet potato.

Our family doesn’t have paddy fields and we don’t grow rice, so we have to buy rice every year. What if we don’t have money to buy rice?

I just thought, if we could grow sweet potatoes at home, then our family would not starve to death due to lack of food.

Then I asked my husband to get some land for me to experiment, and I didn’t expect that it actually grew well.

My husband said that if all the people in Zhao State could eat sweet potatoes, no one would starve to death, and then we would come to find you, sir."

Xin Ye didn't expect his wife to give him such a high hat, he laughed and cooperated, his brain worked quickly, and he came up with a good idea: "In fact, it was my father who told me that I could eat sweet potatoes.

My father used to be a bodyguard. He traveled all over the country and saw a lot.

Once, he was delivering a caravan and encountered robbers. Several escorts died on that trip. My father was also injured and thrown into a mountain cave by the bandits. He was really hungry and happened to dig up sweet potatoes to eat raw. He relied on eating sweet potatoes to recover from his injuries and return home. "

Father Li: How come I didn’t know about this?

Yan Yiyi didn't expect Xin Ye to put the blame on his father-in-law, but compared to the fact that he himself dug up sweet potatoes in the mountains, this story was more credible, at least it was difficult to investigate.

The magistrate and the legal advisor had checked Xin Ye's files before, and his father was indeed a bodyguard, so they did not have much doubt about this story and their attention was always on sweet potatoes.

"Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw?!" The lawyer expressed surprise.

Xin Ye nodded, took a sweet potato from the bamboo basket and handed it to the master: "You can eat it after washing it, or you can peel it and eat it. After all, you are not sure whether the skin has been washed clean of sand and dirt."

The lawyer took the sweet potato and went to wash it. After a while, he came back, peeled the sweet potato in front of everyone, and then shared it in half with the county magistrate.

"Crunch, crunch..." The two of them were chewing on the raw sweet potatoes. They were crispy and sweet, pretty good.

The master wants to have another one, he’s not satisfied yet!

Xin Ye hurriedly stopped him: "Wait! Eating raw sweet potatoes can easily cause diarrhea, don't eat too much, just taste it."

Then he smiled and said, "These sweet potatoes are our gift to the county magistrate and the legal advisor. Freshly cooked sweet potatoes are more fragrant and delicious. The method is very simple. Just steam them in a pot for a quarter to two minutes."

You can understand it as soon as you hear it. It is indeed very simple.

The magistrate was very satisfied with them and smiled gently: "By the way, you said you planted an acre of land, we want to see for ourselves how the sweet potatoes grow, is it convenient for us to go and have a look?"

"Of course you can. It is an honor for our family that you two are willing to come. However, I hope you can keep a low profile and lie to others that you are my cousin who is visiting. How do you think?"

The magistrate thought about it and decided that it was indeed not advisable to make a big fuss about it, otherwise it would be discovered by others. If he destroyed the sweet potato field just to avoid giving him sales, wouldn’t that be harming the kind-hearted Li family?

Xin Ye explained, "My family doesn't get along well with the villagers. My wife even had a fight with them before. If they knew that the two adults were concerned about our sweet potato fields and came to destroy them, it would be our fault if they disappointed the adults."

The Magistrate: ...I didn’t expect it to be such a simple and plain reason.

His eyes unconsciously turned to Yan Yiyi. He didn't expect that this delicate and petite woman would actually fight with the villagers?

The master was actually interested and asked curiously, "Why are you fighting?"

"They slandered my wife's innocence and called me a cripple. My wife was so angry that she started a fight with the nagging woman. Well, my wife used all her strength to teach their whole family a lesson."

The magistrate and the legal advisor couldn't help but recall the scene when she picked up her husband to show him off in order to prove her strength.

Without waiting for the lawyer to continue asking, Xin Ye took the initiative to confess the reason. When they learned that it was because of the trafficking case, the two of them understood.

At the same time, we also learned that Yan Yiyi has been living a simple life with her husband in the countryside for the past six months. The couple is very loving and they have done a good job as "matchmakers".
