The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

"Vegetable crops? Are they edible? I wonder if you have brought what you mentioned today?"

When Master Qian heard Qin Ruo say that new crops had been discovered, he had no time to think about anything else and was eager to confirm it.

"Master, I have tasted it myself and it can really fill my stomach. Please wait for me for half an hour, and I will go get it right away."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruo immediately pretended to be delighted.

As long as the things I take out today can pass the "clear passage" of the government office, everything else will be easy later.

Once the plants are successfully planted, Changhe Village will most likely become a pilot site for planting new crops in the future, so water conservancy projects must be built, right?

It would be impossible to solve the future water problem of his fifty acres of wasteland by relying on his own strength alone.

When Master Qian asked Qin Ruo about her planting plan, she had already quickly calculated it in her mind.

After hearing what Qin Ruo said about the extremely high yield of that thing and the confirmation that it was edible, Master Qian readily agreed.

Since the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty, the types of crops have been single, basically only a few kinds of grain staple foods.

Such as rice, wheat, corn and beans, their production is quite limited.

Especially in recent years, with poor harvests, there are many ordinary people across the country who cannot get enough food.

Ordinary people in Taihe County often have food shortages. It is now considered the most "poor" county in the entire Ganzhou.

If new crops could be introduced and food production could be increased, it would be a great thing that would benefit both the country and the people.

Qin Ruo left the yamen and pretended to walk around outside for a while. Then he picked up two sweet potato vines full of fruits from the space, put them in a backpack, and then returned to the yamen.

In the Taihe County government office, Mr. Qian, the chief clerk and several yamen runners were waiting for Qin Ruo.

When they heard that a new crop had been discovered, they all stayed to see it for themselves.

Master Qian watched Qin Ruo go out and come back with a backpack on her back. He was the first to stand up and check.

When he saw that there were only green vine-like plants in the basket, he was immediately disappointed.

"Is this the thing Miss Qin was talking about?" Master Qian asked despite being disappointed.

"Master Qian, don't worry. These are just vines. The secret lies below."

Qin Ruo smiled and peeled off the outermost layer of vine leaves in the basket. She carefully took out the two sweet potatoes with vine leaves and spread them on the ground.

So that Mr. Qian and others can view it more intuitively.

"Oh my god! What is this? There are so many fruits on such a small vine?"

"Miss Qin, did you dig this out of the ground?"

Master Qian looked at the two sweet potato vines on the ground. The smallest one had thirteen or fourteen vines.

The few plants that had more than 20 or 30 of them were as tall as each other, and each sweet potato looked to weigh at least two taels.

Master Qian was excited and his heart was burning.

"Yes, look, there's still dirt on it."

"I only planned to stay in the mountains for two days this time, but I got lost and went deep into the forest. The food I brought was not enough, so I relied on this to survive."

"As for what this thing is called, I have never seen it before. It looks like a melon and it was dug out from the ground, so I just call it a sweet potato."

"Since this thing can satisfy hunger, I simply dug up the remaining few plants and wanted to try to plant them. You asked me about it today, and I thought that you have a lot of knowledge, so I just brought them to you to let you take a look and give me some advice."

Qin Ruo had already thought of the words she wanted to say, so when Master Qian asked her, she answered without hesitation.

She mentioned several key points. First, she actually tried this thing and found it edible.

Instead, he told Master Qian that these sweet potatoes came from the mountains and were hard to come by.

Master Qian was delighted as he looked at the vines full of sweet potatoes, and the chief clerk and several yamen runners also looked expectant.

After hearing Qin Ruo introduce that this thing can be eaten raw, these people did not doubt the truth of Qin Ruo's words.

They all came forward, broke off a small piece, put it in their mouths and tasted it.

After all, these days, there are really no ordinary people who dare to go to the government office to cause trouble.

It was just as sweet and crispy as Qin Ruo said, and everyone was amazed.

After trying the raw sweet potatoes, Master Qian couldn't wait to ask someone to bring out a pot and start a fire in the open space in front of the house.

He followed Qin Ruo's instructions, picked a few sweet potatoes himself, washed them, and put them into the pot to steam.

After the fire was lit, he threw a few more into the red charcoal pile.

Several pairs of eyes were staring nervously at the sweet potatoes in the pot and the charcoal, waiting to witness a miracle.

After a quarter of an hour, the boiled and baked sweet potatoes were ready, and a special sweet fragrance filled the air.

Master Qian couldn't wait any longer and didn't care about the heat. He took out the sweet potatoes and started tasting them one by one.

He first tried the steamed sweet potatoes and found that they were soft, sweet and melted in the mouth.

As for the baked sweet potato, after peeling off the skin, the golden, hot flesh is revealed, which is fragrant, sweet, soft and glutinous.

After taking a bite, my whole body felt warm.

"Delicious! So delicious!" Master Qian praised while eating.

The chief clerk and several yamen runners each took half a loaf and ate with eyes shining.

A quarter of an hour later, Master Qian burst into laughter when he discovered that he and his colleagues were not feeling unwell.

"Haha! Great! Great! If this plant can be promoted for cultivation, it will surely help alleviate the hunger of the people of our Great Sheng Dynasty in the future! Miss Qin, you are going to make a great contribution!"

Master Qian set aside two steamed sweet potatoes and two stewed sweet potatoes, and immediately sent someone to the backyard to invite Magistrate Jiang over.

During the years he followed Magistrate Jiang to Taihe County, he naturally knew the difficulties that the Dasheng Dynasty was facing.

Food shortage has become a major concern for the entire Great Sheng Dynasty.

Master Qian estimated that if the cultivation of this plant could be promoted on a large scale, the grain output of the Great Sheng Dynasty would increase greatly.

This will be a blessing for the world and even more so for the people!

"I found this by accident. I don't know if it is suitable for planting in Taihe County. I don't know how to plant it either. I have to go back and study it in detail."

Qin Ruo humbly said a few polite words and then stopped talking, waiting for County Magistrate Jiang to arrive.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Master Qian waved at Qin Ruo.

County Magistrate Jiang was having dinner with his family in the backyard when he heard someone report that a girl named Qin Ruo from Changhe Village had discovered a new crop and had brought it to the lawyer for his inspection.

After confirmation by the lawyer, it was confirmed that the thing Qin Ruo brought was indeed edible and had a high yield.

For a moment, County Magistrate Jiang thought he had misheard.

County Magistrate Jiang had heard the name Qin Ruo more than once.

The girl from Changhe Village who could hunt wolves was favored by the old lady of Xie Mansion, sent noodles to the officials, and took the lead in buying fifty acres of wasteland...

County Magistrate Jiang kept every detail in mind.

He had long wanted to find an opportunity to meet this girl who even the old lady of the Xie family looked at her differently and see what kind of person she was.

But due to some reasons, I have never met him.

Now, when he heard that this person was Qin Ruo, and also heard that the things she brought made even Master Qian marvel.

County Magistrate Jiang was both surprised and delighted. He dropped his chopsticks and rushed to his forehead.
