Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 261 Everyone Harvests Sweet Potatoes Together
Early the next morning, everyone woke up slowly under the sunshine, had breakfast after a simple wash, and then took a horse-drawn carriage to return to Shangao Village.
When they arrived at Shangao Village in their horse-drawn carriage, they immediately caused a sensation among the villagers.
The villagers were so amazed at the huge procession and the magnificent carriage.
Adults and children gathered around the carriage curiously, staring at the people in it with wide eyes.
"Who is that? Why is it such a big deal?" a villager whispered.
"I don't know. He girl is now the princess of two countries. It's normal for distinguished guests to come."
"Yes, I heard from the fourth brother that the second brother's family recently went to Daxia to attend the coronation ceremony of the new emperor. I guess the relatives from Daxia also came to Dasheng."
"That doesn't mean they are the royal family from Daxia!" another villager said excitedly.
"Oh my, what good fortune our Shangao Village has! All the people who came here are members of the royal family. It's really a Feng Shui treasure land!"
When Shangguan Chengwei, Shang Yajun and others got off the carriage, the villagers knelt down and saluted, shouting "Long live the emperor".
The Emperor smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, and said gently:
"Everyone, get up. No need to be so polite. Just be the same as before.
Today, Qinghe's aunt's family and brothers and sisters are all here for a big celebration. Everyone can come to our house to visit when they have time."
Everyone surrounded Qinghe and his family as they returned home. Qinghe shared the special food he brought from Daxia with everyone to taste, as well as some small items.
The villagers happily accepted the gifts and were overjoyed. As they chatted, they learned that the villagers were harvesting sweet potatoes.
"He girl, don't you know how much sweet potatoes we get from one acre of land this year? I've been farming for so many years, and I've never seen such a high yield of crops."
"Yes, our village will no longer be afraid of hunger from now on. Hahaha~~~" The head of the village came in from outside and said with a smile.
"Brother, you are here! The sweet potato harvest is very good this year?" Shangguan Chengwei and others stood up to greet him when they saw the village head coming in.
The village head bowed and said:
"You're back just in time. The second brother's sweet potatoes haven't been harvested yet. You can go to the field and take a look."
"Father, why don't we go together to help harvest the sweet potatoes?"
Shangguan Qinghong also smiled and said, "Aunt, just go and take a look. How can I ask you to do any work?"
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Qinghe smiled and said:
"If you don't feel tired, wait for me to get everyone some clothes to change into, and then we can go to the fields and take a look."
"Mom will go with you to the workshop to get it."
"Second Aunt, Sister, I'm going with you too."
"Second aunt, sister, I'm going too."
So Qinghe and Qin took a group of young sisters to the garment workshop.
The embroiderer who was conscientiously making clothes in the workshop was very happy to see Qinghe and the others, and she greeted Qin and Qinghe one after another.
A few young sisters saw the new styles of clothes in the workshop. They touched this and looked at that. They were very curious and liked them very much.
"The clothes made here are so unique and beautiful!"
"Yeah, it's better looking than the clothes we wore before."
Qin said proudly: "These clothes are designed by Qinghe herself. They are selling very well in Tailai County and Beijing."
"Really? Then we must go shopping when we get to the capital."
As they talked, they picked out suitable clothes for everyone to wear when working in the fields.
After everyone changed their clothes and gathered in the hall, Shangguan Chengwei smiled and nodded:
"Okay, let's go join in the fun and see the harvest."
So, led by the village head, the group marched towards the sweet potato field in a mighty procession.
When we arrived at the sweet potato field, we saw Chu Laosi and Sun Biao working in the field with a group of villagers. There were many harvested sweet potatoes piled in the field.
There is not a large field of sweet potatoes that has not been harvested. The sweet potato vines are crawling all over the ground, creating a vibrant scene.
Everyone carefully pulled apart the vines and saw huge sweet potatoes sticking out their heads. Each of the sweet potatoes was plump and round, which made people happy when they saw it.
"Wow, these green sweet potato seedlings are growing so well!" Shangguan Chengwei exclaimed.
"Yes, judging by the growth, the yield should be quite high!"
"We have measured the yield, and the villagers' sweet potato yield is more than 2,500 kilograms.
Those are all planted on newly reclaimed wasteland. If we take good care of them next year, the yield should be even higher."
Li was introducing it excitedly.
"Is it really that high? Well, well, we don't have to worry about food anymore.
Let's get started, and we'll measure the yield of sweet potatoes later." Shangguan Chengwei said happily.
Everyone obeyed the order and started to learn how to harvest from the villagers working in the fields.
Some used sickles to cut the sweet potato seedlings, while others used shovels to dig the ground, carefully digging for fear of damaging the sweet potatoes;
Some people just dig with their hands and feel the joy of harvest.
The children also helped excitedly, picking up the dug sweet potatoes and putting them into the basket.
The emperor and Shang Yajun also joined the team harvesting sweet potatoes with great interest. Although their movements were not very skilled, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Shangguan Jing and Qin were both used to doing farm work, and they worked with great energy, which made Shangguan Xue feel both envious and sad.
His second brother and his twin son grew up in the same womb, but one enjoyed wealth and glory while the other lived among the people and suffered hardships.
The princess stared at her second brother's sentimental expression, which caught the eyes of the prince consort, and he comforted her:
"Princess, don't be sad. Although my second brother has suffered a lot before, he will eventually have a happy ending. He will definitely live a good life in the future."
Shangguan Xue nodded and said:
"I know, but I felt sad when I saw my second brother working in the fields. Farm work is really not easy. My hands were a little sore after working for a while."
The prince consort smiled and said, "Princess, just watch over the field. You don't need to do it yourself."
Qinghe, Baili Ye, Shangguan Qinghong and other young people were even more energetic and dug a large pile of sweet potatoes in a short time.
"Haha, it's a great harvest of sweet potatoes!" Shangguan Chengwei said happily.
Amid everyone's laughter and joy, rows of sweet potatoes were dug out and piled up like small hills.
The sunshine shines on everyone, and everyone's face is red, full of the joy of harvest.
"Oh, harvesting sweet potatoes is really an interesting job!" someone exclaimed.
"Yes, it makes me so happy to see these fruits that I grew myself." Another person echoed.
Everyone looked at the full basket of sweet potatoes and felt a sense of accomplishment.
With everyone's concerted efforts, baskets of sweet potatoes were neatly stacked at the edge of the field.
Shangguan Chengwei watched everyone weigh the sweet potatoes basket by basket. After weighing an acre of sweet potatoes, everyone was surprised to find that:
One acre of land actually produced 4,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, which is an incredible yield.
