I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 295 The Vicious Mother-in-Law (17)

Seeing the lump of dirt in front of him, Xie Liancheng frowned slightly with his pretty eyebrows.

"What is this?"

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Although he was a child of a family, he was not the kind of dude who didn't understand farming.

But he searched through all the impressions in his mind, but he couldn't find anything similar to the thing in front of him.

Shi Jiang's fingers tapped on the lump of dirt.

"This is something that can make people all over the world eat their fill."

Hearing this, Xie Liancheng was startled.

"Is this stuff enough to feed all the people in the world?"

Shi Jiang nodded, and said to Xie Liancheng: "This is a new grain I discovered not long ago. I call it sweet potato. It tastes glutinous and sweet, and it tastes good when eaten raw or cooked. It contains a lot of starch and can be cooked. other food."

After finishing speaking, Shi Jiang clapped his hands again, and soon his servant brought in another pot of boiled sweet potatoes, this time, it was placed on the table next to Xie Liancheng's chair.

"You can try the taste and see what you think!"

The sweet potatoes that have just been taken out of the pot exude a sweet smell.

Xie Liancheng involuntarily reached out and took one, and looked around.

I saw that this thing called sweet potato looks gray-brown in appearance, which is far from the appearance of the dirt lump.

And it feels a bit soft when pinched, as if with a little force, this thing can be crushed.

He tentatively put it in his mouth and took a bite.

It's sweet, soft and glutinous, there's no need to chew too much, Xie Liancheng swallowed it into his stomach with a gurgling sound.

The sweet potato in his hand weighed about half a catty, and it was quickly eaten in two or three bites. After eating, Xie Liancheng obviously felt full in his stomach.

"How about... the yield of sweet potatoes?"

Xie Liancheng stared at Shi Jiang with radiant eyes. She just said that she can feed the people of the world.

"It can produce two to three thousand catties per mu, and it can be planted in wasteland."

Hearing this, Xie Liancheng jumped up from his chair.

"Two... three... three thousand catties? Are you sure?"

This is simply ten times the harvest of ordinary grains and grains. If it is true, it will really be like what Jiang Jiang said, and it can feed the people all over the world.

"It's absolutely true, Mr. Xie's family can find a close friend to follow me, and wait for the sweet potatoes I planted this time to be weighed after they are dug up."

Shi Jiang said with a slight smile.

"No, just stay here and wait for the good news."

Xie Liancheng directly rejected Shi Jiang's proposal, and made a simple and rude decision.

Hearing this, Shi Jiang couldn't help but choked.

After a while, he said helplessly: "Master Xie, I'm afraid my house can't entertain you. Although my son is not much different in age from yours, I'm still a widow."

Only then did Xie Liancheng realize that Ruyu's face was usually thick-skinned, so she couldn't help but blush.

"I made a slip of the tongue. I said to live here. I bought a piece of land next to my wife and built a house to live in."

After finishing speaking, he directly recruited shopkeeper Li to come over, and ordered him to buy the wasteland next to Shi Jiang, and at the same time called for people to come and build the house as quickly as possible.

The head of the village felt that the Feng Shui of their village seemed to have improved during this period of time, or else, the elders in the city also went to their village to buy wasteland?
Could it be that there is a baby under the wasteland in their village?

Dazed, he took shopkeeper Li to the county government office, and sold another [-] acres of wasteland next to the piece of wasteland bought by Shi Jiang in the village.

Seeing shopkeeper Li buying a hundred acres without blinking an eye, the head of the village couldn't help but touch his pocket, and bought an acre of wasteland by a strange coincidence.

He didn't realize until he got home, why did he buy wasteland?

Obviously you can go directly to land reclamation, anyway, you don't need to pay taxes for the first three years.

The village head twitched with regret, although the money was not much, it couldn't be wasted like this!
You can buy everything, and the county government doesn't care about you, so you won't regret it later!
Although the wasteland was bought and someone was found to build the house, the speed was very fast.

But no matter how fast it is, it is impossible to build the house in one day.

Therefore, after Xie Liancheng negotiated the instant noodle shareholding contract with Shi Jiang, he sat in a carriage and went to live in the other courtyard of the county government.

Even if Xie Liancheng only appeared at the door of Shi Jiang's house for a while, he couldn't stand the sharp eyes of the women in the village.

The news that the noble son came to look for Shi Jiang quickly spread throughout the village.

Some people even spread the word that a nobleman in the city has taken a fancy to Shi Jiang.

Although Shi Jiang is already the mother of three children, and is now in her 30s, but she can't stand that when Shi Jiang married here, she was also a beautiful woman!

What's more, even at Shi Jiang's current age, a half-aged lady, it's not fun, isn't it?

As soon as the news came out, the brothers of the Yang family, who were originally hiding in their own house and were unwilling to come out, suddenly became upset.

They are all married, and if their mother remarries, they still have to be ashamed, and should they live in this village?
Not only were they shocked when they heard the news, Yang Liu'er couldn't help feeling dizzy when she heard the news.

During this period of time, she was at her husband's house, and because of her mother's unreliability, she was very ashamed.

Although there is a husband who secretly comforts him, he can't stand up to the mother-in-law's cynicism.

In a short period of time, she changed from a charming girl to a woman who does all kinds of housework.

The delicate hands began to become rough.

The mother-in-law will not spoil her like a mother-in-law. Once she is not able to work well, her words will be scraped at her like a knife.

Yang Liu'er, who was trained not to dare to resist, heard the rumor from her mother, it was her sister-in-law who whispered, and she heard it.

Yang Liuer didn't care about her mother-in-law calling her to cook at night, so she turned her head and ran to Shi Jiang's house.

However, this time Yang Liu'er came, just like the previous few times, she was stopped at the gate, and the servants just replied to her that Madam didn't want to see her.

These words made her more determined, the rumors must be true, otherwise, why would the mother hide in such a (big) fuzzy (fog) manner?
Originally, Jiang thought that Yang Liu'er would be outraged and ran away when the servant refused Yang Liu'er to come in. Unexpectedly, this time was different from the previous times, she stayed at the door desperately and did not leave.

Not only Yang Liu'er, but also the brothers of the Yang family came together, the three of them blocked the gate, as if they would not stop until they saw someone.

Shi Jiang was very curious, who gave them the courage to think that he would be threatened by them?

It's just that she didn't respond, but others got excited.

Yang Litian's mother, supported by the other two sons, also ran to the door of Shi Jiang's house.

Especially Mother Yang, with hanging eyes, aquiline nose, and sunken cheeks, her face is truly flawless.

At this moment, he was pointing angrily at the gate of Shi Jiang's house, calling his two sons to come forward and smash the door.
