Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

In the evening, Liu Xu asked someone to invite Liu Changshun's family, Liu Dashan and his wife, and Liu Xiumei's family.

Liu Fulin started rehabilitation after the first month of the Chinese New Year. He can now walk a distance with the help of a cane and his recovery is promising.

This brings us to Liu Donglai, who also broke his leg and recovered in late February.

Liu Xu fulfilled his promise and asked Uncle He and others to make a mushroom bed for him. He also taught him how to take care of it. However, like other families, the mushroom strains were still provided by Liu Xu's family.

The house over there was not small, so Liu Dongcheng cleaned up two rooms to make a mushroom house. He could earn about one or two taels of mushrooms every day. Together with the monthly salary from Liu Juan, his life was much more comfortable than before in the town.

Liu Chengcai also entered the clan school. I think as long as he doesn't learn from his brother, he will be fine even if he can't take the imperial examination in the future.

Liu Xiumei's family had sauerkraut made by Liu Hongying and a mushroom room. In addition, both mother and daughter worked in the workshop, and they saved a lot of money.

Now that Liu Fulin was able to take care of himself, Liu Fukang was also sent to school. However,

"This child is more active. He is not good at studying, but he is very interested in martial arts." Liu Xiumei sighed.

Xu Ruolan laughed when she heard this and said, "I'm afraid this is for his second uncle!"

"Of course not! In the future I want to be like my second uncle and go to the battlefield to kill enemies and make meritorious deeds!" Liu Fukang shouted immediately.

Everyone in the room laughed when they heard this.

Adults and children still sat separately at two large tables.

Liu Xu told Granny Fang all the ways she knew to cook potatoes, and the table was filled with them, which amazed everyone.

"Grandpa, grandpa, you guys try the steamed ones first. They have their original flavor without any additives." Liu Xu called out across the table.

The two elders followed instructions and each picked one up, peeled off the skin and took a bite.

"Well, it's light yellow in color, mellow in texture, and has a light fragrance. It's really a good thing without any modification, but it still has good color, aroma and taste!" Grandpa Xu praised after swallowing one.

"What my in-laws said is true. Moreover, these little lumps are soft and rotten, and are very delicious even for elderly people with bad teeth. And... I feel that this thing is filling. Girl, isn't this a dish?" Liu Dashan had eaten it once when he was having hot pot before the New Year, so he was a little confused.

Liu Xu smiled and did not answer. Instead, she called on the other elders: "Grandma, grandma, mother, master, uncle, aunt, aunt and uncle, you all should try it. Also, try the other dishes on the table."

Everyone was not polite when they heard this and started eating with their chopsticks. The younger generation was not far behind.

During the meal, there were exclamations of praise one after another, and the potato banquet was a great enjoyment for both the guests and the hosts.

Finally, everyone found that none of them had the staple food, but they were all full. There was still a lot left on the table.

"So... girl, this... lump of earth can not only be used to cook, but also as food?" Liu Dashan widened his eyes and stuttered.

As farmers, food is their life. No wonder Liu Dashan is so excited.

"Grandpa, this is called a potato, not a lump of earth! You are right, this thing can be used as a dish or as food."

Everyone present knew that this was Liu Xu bought from foreigners, but only a few people knew that this thing could be used as both food and a dish.

Liu Changshun was one of the insiders, but he was more concerned about, "Xu girl, then...how is the production?"

Except for the people in the Liu family compound, all other men, women, old and young were looking at the catkins intently.

Liu Xu slowly stretched out two fingers and shook them.

Seeing this, Liu Changshun was a little disappointed. "Only more than 200 kilograms! Oh! But it's not bad. After all, this is planted in wasteland. Maybe..."

"No, Uncle San, have you forgotten what I said?" Liu Xu interrupted.

Liu Changshun smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle San, remember, you mentioned this high yield before. It's probably because the environment in Dongsheng is different from that foreign country. It doesn't matter. Maybe if you plant more, the yield will be higher."

Liu Xu couldn't help but laugh. Her third uncle...

"Oh, Uncle Liu, what Junior Sister said is right, it is very productive! What she gestured was not two hundred kilograms, but two thousand kilograms!" Han Duoduo couldn't stand their nagging and said it directly.

"What!"

"What, two, two thousand?"

"Bang", "Pah", "Ouch!" There was a commotion in the main hall. Everyone in the Liu family compound was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly helped up those who had fallen to the ground.

After a while, Liu Changshun came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and asked carefully:

"Xu girl, are you sure Miss Duoduo is right? Is it really...really two...two thousand pounds?"

Liu Xu shook her head. Before Liu Changshun could even breathe out, he was choked and coughed by her next words.

Liu Xu: "Uncle San, it's not 2,000 jin, it's more than 2,800 jin, nearly 3,000 jin!"

"Oh my God, what kind of magical thing is this! Isn't it that planting this thing on one acre of land is equivalent to planting ten acres of wheat?" Chen Lan exclaimed.

Old Lady Zhang: "Old... Old man, did I hear it wrong? Why did I hear this girl say that the soil clod yields 3,000 kilograms per mu?"

Liu Dashan: "You heard it right, I heard it too!"

Old lady Zhang opened her eyes wide, then rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Hey... Hey old lady, what's wrong with you?"

There was another panic in the main room. After pinching her philtrum for a long time, the old lady slowly woke up. She was stunned for a moment and said, "So it was just a dream. I told you so!"

Then he noticed the people around him and blinked again, as if he realized something. He grabbed Liu Dashan's arm and said, "Old... Old man, is it true?"

Everyone in the room was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and Liu Dashan nodded silently.

Old lady Zhang felt like dizzy again.

"Grandma, please don't faint, or I'll pinch your philtrum to pieces!" Liu Xu said helplessly.

She never thought that the old lady could do this. But since the man woke up, she continued the previous topic.

"Don't get too excited, the production volume is not accurate!"

Everyone looked at Liu Xu in confusion, and Liu Xu continued, "The reason why the yield is so high is because I have people adjust the temperature in the greenhouse at any time, and the fertilizer we apply is different from what we usually do, it is specially used to grow tubers, and there are many other operations to increase the yield. Otherwise, these potatoes would not have such a high yield!"

Liu Changshun frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "If it is planted normally, what will the yield be?"

"It's hard to say now, but I think as long as the fertilizer is applied properly, there should still be around 1,000 kilograms, and it is not ruled out that it may be higher!"

Liu Changshun lowered his head in thought, but Liu Dashan was very excited, "That's not bad, it's several times our current harvest!"

"But Grandpa, we can't take this thing out right now! Otherwise, it will be a disaster, not only for our family, but for our entire village!"

Liu Xu's words stunned everyone except the Liu family and Liu Changshun.

Seeing that they were all looking at her, Liu Xu said slowly: "Dad and my second uncle have told me about this. We must keep it a secret until they write to us. You all know that this is a divine object, but what about others? There is a saying that goes, 'It is a crime to possess a treasure!'"

Seeing that some people were puzzled, "If it is leaked in advance and let those so-called nobles know about it, they will definitely want to take it for themselves. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, then everyone in our family, and even the entire Liujia Village, will face a catastrophic disaster!"

Liu Xu said this with a serious face, and the three women, Mrs. Zhang, Chen Lan and Liu Xiumei, gasped in shock.

The men and young boys and girls present were much calmer. Shuisheng said directly: "Then cover it up and don't let outsiders know!"
