Crossing Over I Became a Married Peasant Woman

Chapter 171 Zhaowu Commander (2)

The latest website: Zhou Cheng thought about it for a while, and then stepped forward to report, "Qi Wangye, Shizi, the sweet potatoes and potatoes that were trampled on by firefighting before have not been dealt with. I have been keeping my post, and I want to dig it up now to check the growth."

"Oh? Then dig it up and see." King Liaodong was also curious about how it grew, so he walked to the field and waited for them to dig it out.

Zhou Cheng motioned to the long-term worker to come to Fu to smash the potatoes first.

With so many big people watching, Chang Gong Laifu's nervous hands shook, and he almost couldn't hold his hoe.

When Zhou Cheng saw this, he took the hoe and came by himself.

Carefully hoe in and turn from under the edge, trying not to hoe the potatoes. I saw a small yellow pimple exposed.

The King of Liaodong stepped forward curiously, and he didn't dislike being dirty, so he picked up one and looked at it in his heart.

"Does this little yellow pimple look about the size of an egg? It can be turned out from under one tree. No wonder it has high yield. How do I eat this?"

The prince squatted, Zhou Cheng couldn't stand to answer, he also squatted down and dug out all the potatoes and rubbed the mud, and said, "This one peels off the skin and cuts it into pieces, and cooks the soup with the pickled vegetables. , or you can slice and stir-fry the meat is also delicious. The humble daughter-in-law has only cooked this way twice, and you need to ask the chef for other cooking methods."

The King of Liaodong nodded, "Dig up all the plants that were trampled, and see if they are all this big and how heavy they add up."

The prince again motioned to the two to help dig together.

After digging up all the potatoes, Zhou Cheng stopped them from digging up the sweet potatoes, and went to dig them up to take a look.

"My lord, these sweet potato vines are relatively dense, and if some of them are broken, it will not affect their growth. So I only cut one open to see." He picked up two of the cut sweet potatoes and handed them to the King of Liaodong.

"This one doesn't look that big. How can the same thing look different? It's long, round, and different in shape. How should I eat it?" King Liaodong thought this looked even more strange.

"Go back to the lord, peel off the skin, cut it into pieces and cook it with rice, as a staple food, or without peeling it, wash it with white water and boil it until it's smashed and eat it directly. There is a flavor." He repeated all the tricks he had eaten.

At the time of answering, the others had already put all the potatoes they had planed into bamboo baskets and carried them to the scales.

Si Nong Guan wrote down the weight on the side, and replied: "Huiwangye, Shizi, here are twenty-six kilograms."

The King of Liaodong nodded, such a small lump, not many plants can have such a weight, and it is indeed a high yield. But with corn, the jewel in front, I didn't feel much surprise. After all, he is too small, and he does not know the exact yield per mu.

He raised his hand and signaled the guards to carry it away. He wanted to bring it back to the mansion to have a taste, and also bring the few sweet potatoes with him.

Don't be afraid of things being exposed, the key is that the output should not leak.

The King of Liaodong issued a gag order before leaving. Not bothering the second master, he told Zhou Cheng that he should keep these crops first, and arranged for the farmer to stay in the farm.

Qiu Baize deliberately took leave before they left. The prince knew that they had a good relationship, nodded in agreement, and smiled to congratulate Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng bowed solemnly to the prince, "Thank you for the promotion of the prince."

"You're welcome, this is what you deserve, I'll wait for you to ascend all the way." After that, he turned his horse and left with the team.

After Zhou Cheng watched them leave, he instructed the long-term workers to pull out the corn stalks that had been collected from the cob, and it was useless to keep them. You could try to plant sweet potatoes by cuttings.

The land is empty and empty. It can be tested. All the plants that were planted a few days ago are alive. Maybe they can really harvest a little more before winter. After all, it is only the beginning of June.

After things were arranged properly, he let Qiu Baize watch here. He would go back to see his daughter-in-law first, and tell her the good news to save her from thinking.

Pei Xiu had indeed been looking at the field from the door, and Aunt Zhang didn't know why she kept staring at the field. After persuading her several times, she was indifferent. Standing at the door, you can still see people in the distance.

Aunt Zhang had to move a bench out and put it in the shade for her to sit and watch with her. At this sight, she also found the problem. Why did so many people suddenly appear in this Tanabe? Shouldn't something happen?

She thought so and asked.

Pei Xiu said comfortably: "It's okay, the crops are harvested."

Does the harvest need to invite so many people? Aunt Zhang nodded suspiciously. She was only here to help, and the old man also told her to do more work and talk less, not to talk too much to make people annoying.

Seeing that Pei Xiu was not in a good mood, she didn't dare to talk much, so she stayed by the side quietly and helped her make some children's clothes.

She only prepared the clothes she wore just after giving birth, and the thicker ones were not ready yet, and she planned to invite someone to do them. She is not good at craftsmanship, afraid that the seam will scrape the child's skin, so she simply prepared a few thin pieces.

Aunt Zhang came here every day to clean the yard, then cook breakfast, dinner and snacks. She was busy at other times and needed to find something to do, otherwise she would feel uneasy with so much wages.

She was busy with needlework, and from time to time she looked up at Pei Xiu and then looked at the fields. Don't look at her age, but her eyes are still very good, she can see Zhou Cheng from a distance.

"Pei Xiu, that's Mr. Wednesday, why did he come back early. Hey, there are a lot fewer people in the fields, and there are not many people anymore. Is this finished?"

No need for Aunt Zhang to remind her, she kept watching and noticed it long ago. Seeing that the team had just left and Zhou Chengcheng came back, she couldn't wait to stand up and walk towards him.

Zhou Cheng quickly stepped forward to hold her hand and scolded her: "Why do you sit at the door and wait, the sun is shining more at noon. I said you don't have to worry, why don't you listen."

"I'm sitting in the house too, so I might as well come out and take a look. Don't worry, I stay in the shade and don't get the sun."

The two went into the house hand in hand, and Aunt Zhang didn't go in to make trouble. The employer and the couple were in a good relationship, and she was happy to see it. Anyway, the sun wouldn't be able to shine, so she just sat at the door.

Seeing that Aunt Zhang didn't come in, Pei Xiu asked with confidence, "How is the harvest?"

He smiled and said, "The yield per mu is more than six hundred and nearly seven hundred catties."

She was pleasantly surprised. It was much higher than she expected. After all, the soil quality was different. She thought that 600 catties per mu would be about the same. After all, it is not as good as modern fertilizers. The production capacity per mu can reach more than 1,300 catties, and she is satisfied with half of it.

Seeing her let go of her heart, he wanted to cheer her up and tell her the real surprise, "I've been promoted to Captain Zhaowu, on the sixth rank."

"Really?" The surprise was huge, Pei Xiu's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that the official position was just like this? Is she an official wife?

Zhou Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and nodded.
