……

Sweet potatoes are not a delicate crop. The two uncles and the eldest brother are very rare for the dog's leftover wages, and they also hope that the mountain officials will have great achievements in the future. Some, I went to a few homes first and gave up because I didn't know how to deal with the stone-like things.

Gou Sheng was not stingy, he dug with him for a whole morning, regardless of the hot weather, he set up a fire by the side of the field at noon, picked up slender ones and roasted ten or twenty of them, and after a while, a burnt smell wafted far away.

Tin-skinned sweet potatoes are still a new thing in this area. When they were planted, many villagers waited to see them and they were harvested today.

After the scooped sweet potatoes were no longer hot to the touch, Gou Sheng generously asked the neighbors to taste them.

When the big brother was growing up, he couldn't help swallowing a few times. As soon as the dog's leftover sweet potatoes were fished out, he peeled one and ate it while breathing. After eating one, his stomach felt a little full .

"Big cousin, what is this thing? It's so full!"

Brother Datang is as big as Gousheng. Although he doesn’t fit in with the Gousheng, he is not unfamiliar. His face and mouth are dark when he eats. It's been a long time since I couldn't see anyone, so I had to tilt my neck and try my best to rub my shoulders.

The villagers who tasted it next to him also asked questions.

"It's a new crop specially found by the county magistrate at the beginning. This thing is easy to grow. When I go back, I peel it and cook it in porridge. Problem." Gousheng didn't hide it, "Or wash it, steam it, cut it into strips and dry it, it's also great to make snacks for the dolls at home!"

The people from Shangqing Village who came to see the rare people suddenly began to "buzz" and discuss in a low voice.

"Big flower, boy, where will this thing be sold next year?"

Someone immediately asked loudly.

"I guess there should be some shops in the town. If it's not easy to buy, I'll save the seeds here..." Gousheng also explained the usage of sweet potato seedlings and sweet potato vines in detail.

When Gousheng brought his two uncles and his cousin to plant it, many people saw it with their own eyes. Because the seedlings were cut and cut again, I don’t know how many people murmured behind their backs. Now it’s great to see the hills of sweet potatoes being dug up, and countless old vines to feed pigs and cows. Even if the old leaves can be cut and fed to chickens, I might regret it.

"I just said that the county magistrate is such a good man, how could he cheat us, my bastard..."

"Hey, back then, the county magistrate specially cooked porridge for everyone to eat for free, and my kid squeezed in and ate half a bowl, who knew..."

……

Sweet potatoes are particularly willing to grow if they are fat. Each of them is as thick as a few bowls, and as long as one and a half palms. It may weigh two or three catties.

Several people were digging, and the dog leftovers were transported home, and they were all dumped in the yard.

In the end, the eldest uncle and several older cousins ​​from the aunt came to help, and it took seven or eight acres of digging before it came to an end.

Gou Sheng didn't even negotiate the wages with the aunts, and directly sent a carload of sweet potatoes to the family.

"It must be put in the cellar. If it is rotten, it will jump out. You can't eat the rotten food." Gou Sheng repeatedly explained.

A few aunts agreed to be relieved.

Because the purchase of [-] mu of land was based on the promise that no tax would be charged for planting new crops. In the past few days, a clerk went to various villages to make statistics.

At the beginning, Fang County Magistrate had already agreed with several big households that the things would be handled by the government, and they would be allowed to sell them in their shops and spend the winter without food.

The clerk roughly recorded the planting area and total output, and wrote down [-]% of the grain payment. With a wave of his hand, the horse-drawn cart and people sent by the county magistrate stepped forward to move the sweet potatoes that had been packed...

Needless to say, next year, iron-skinned sweet potatoes will not be used as the main crop, and many people estimate that they will have a piece of it at least to prevent poor harvests and stuttering.

Gou Sheng accompanied him to work for several days, he was tanned, and he couldn't get used to the food from his little aunt's house. When he got home, Li Dahua's eyes turned red when he saw it.

"I went to them to reason, and I paid them a lot of wages. Why do you still ask my son to go to the farm? Even my own uncle can't do it. My nephew went and gave me two delicious treats. What's more, you Now……"

"Mom!" Gou Sheng hurriedly helped him into the house.

Li Dahua's temperament can't be changed. No matter how good the medicine and food are, the body is still empty year after year.

It took Li Dahua a bowl of honey water to stop her mouth.

"I'm not tired, and my aunts didn't treat me badly, it's just that I can't sleep well because I can't eat well, so stop making trouble!" Gou Sheng persuaded.

"You are stubborn, it's uncle and cousin. If you are paid, they should do the work. You can go and see it!" Li Dahua put down the bowl, wiped his mouth and said.

Li Dahua is still willing to believe Gousheng's words. Although Gousheng has spent so much money in the past few years, his family's food is indeed one of the best, and the house is also the best in the village. How can the few earthen houses of his natal family compare!

Thinking of this, Li Dahua felt relieved that it wasn't her natal family's fault.

"Your father went to the mountain with Damai early this morning, and he probably won't be back until evening, so we'll have dinner here today."

Although the few sheds on Wenquan Mountain have not yet planted anything, because it was a barren hill before, it would take a lot of work to clear the ground, weed, pick up stones and roots.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with dog leftovers.

The official from the mountain went far away, so Liu Datie made Xu's family come to Gousheng's place from time to time.

The big grass and the small grass are not small anymore, so Gou Sheng even bought two sewing baskets for the two little girls to learn sewing from Hua Ya, which is considered a useful craft.

A peasant woman like Li Dahua in Liushutun can at most sew a little bit, and can learn a little from Huaya. It depends on the luck of the two of them.

Gou Shengyuan said that he added some money and sent the two sisters, Dacao and Xiaocao, to Wu Sansao’s house. Unfortunately, Wusan’s sister-in-law didn’t want to. Not necessarily; the second is that Liu Datie and Li Dahua also stopped him, saying that it was unnecessary, and Gousheng just let it go.

On this day, I saw Brother Wang driving an old donkey cart from afar.

Several children laughed and ran to the door to greet them.

Big Brother Wang has been transporting rabbits here to buy them all these years. He used to be a peddler who carried the goods around. Last year, his younger brother passed the examination as a scholar. Taking advantage of this momentum, he used all his savings to make a successful business in Qingpu Town. I bought a small shop and started a serious grocery store business, and I went to the village to collect some local products from the countryside to sell in the town, and the business was decent.

He is a man who knows how to behave, and every time he comes, he will bring a few novelty things to the little ones, so even Li Dahua has nothing to say to him.

Just one thing, Brother Wang has been busy earning money for his younger brother to study these years, and no matter how much he earns, there is a tendency to fill in holes. Now that Wang's second son is a scholar, there are Juren and Scholars behind him, so he really became an official. Money activities, and expecting to have a good future with one fell swoop... I have delayed myself for a long time, and I am still single in my twenties, which is already considered a big deal here.

When the little ones ran back, each of them was holding a piece of delicate dim sum in his hand.

"Brother Wang is too polite, every time he comes, he spends money..." Gou Sheng said politely.

"It doesn't matter, it was brought back by my younger brother who went to visit his mentor. There are no children in the house, and it will be broken after a long time. It would be better to feed it to a few younger brothers and sisters!" Big Brother Wang said with a hearty smile.

This is what Brother Wang is capable of, no matter what he does, he makes people feel caring.

In this way, the embarrassment of Gousheng is gone, and he invites people to drink tea in the main room.

Brother Wang now wants more rabbits, some of them are bought live in the shop, and some of them are dried and sold slowly by the clerk, which is cheap.

Huaya and Dacao hid in the next room, secretly peeping through the crack of the door.

Just now Xiaocao ran away relying on Li Dahua's favor, and the two older girls didn't have the courage.

Boss Wang is just showing his masculinity, and he is very straightforward. Although he has been traveling all year round and has a dusty face on his face, he is much better than the dull men in the village who only know how to work.

The two little girls were a little red-faced.
