Take space to raise cubs on the road to escape

Chapter 457
Zhao Ji nodded, swept Su Qiaoxiu's wound upstairs, turned around and left.

Not to mention, just because of the wound on her forehead, this is also a woman who can be cruel to herself.

An hour later, the courtyard was empty.

……

After a few days of leisure, Gulan became busy again, because the sweet potatoes were ripe.

He took the owner of the ancient house and the hired villagers and drove to the direction opposite to the workshop garden.

Considering Xiang Yunjin's rights and interests, in order to keep it secret, he did not hire part-time workers from outside this time. He only hired a small number of a dozen or so laborers in the village, both men and women.

Although a crop of red peppers has been harvested, there are still dozens of acres of wasteland covered by a piece of green, which makes the people who come can't help but marvel.

Then came doubts. Looking at the pieces of seedlings, many people didn't know what they were?There is no impression in my mind.

No matter how confused they are in their hearts, they come here to work, so it is enough to earn money.

Next, the housekeeper told him the precautions for digging sweet potatoes that the master told him in advance.

Then the grapples prepared in advance (farm tools commonly used by northerners, similar to a planer with three forks) were assigned to individual hands, and the team leader followed the team to work according to the area in charge.

The first thing is to harvest the sweet potato vines in the field. This is a good feed for livestock. Even if it is dried, cattle and sheep like to eat it, but the parts with strong roots need to be crushed and fed.

It was already the second day when the sweet potato vines were harvested, and this was still a situation where they still had enough staff.

Then came the main event, the housekeeper worriedly repeated the precautions during harvesting, and then excavated.

Gu Lan also held a three-pronged grapple in his hand, and waved the farm tool in his hand with excitement. When the first sweet potato bigger than his palm appeared in sight, Gu Lan couldn't hold back the smile anymore.

The size is not bad, neither big nor small, it has met her expectations.

At the same time, with the waving of the farm tools in his hand, the sweet potatoes were picked out one by one, accompanied by bursts of exclamation from everyone.

As soon as the grapple goes down, they can almost grab out a few sweet potatoes that are the size of the palm or even much larger than the palm. Although they don't know what the sweet potato is, they smell it like a kind of food, because there is a A faint sweet smell permeated the air.

After a while, a small mountain of sweet potatoes was picked up from a small area. Everyone except Gulan was stunned by the astonishing yield. of sweet potatoes.

And the veterans who were in charge here even dropped the farm tools in their hands, picked up the sweet potato that was accidentally punctured by the grapple and put it between their noses.

Hu Tie even bravely broke off a piece and bit into the cracked pulp. Before he started chewing, a sweet taste rushed straight to his taste buds.

"This..." Hu Tie opened his eyes wide, looked at the lump of mud in his hand in disbelief, couldn't wait to chew it, and swallowed it, the taste was surprisingly good.

For a moment, no matter whether it was the servants of the ancient house, the veterans in charge of the field, or the villagers who were trying to earn money, they all stared at him blankly.

No one was worried that things would be poisonous. The owner planted so many at once, how could it be poisonous.

"How is it?" Old Li couldn't help asking.

Hu Tie quickly ate the little bit he broke off from his hand, and faced everyone excitedly.

"It's delicious. The stuff grown by Gu Dong's family is edible, and it tastes great."

The most important thing is the high yield. A single sweet potato seedling can produce more than a dozen fruits, and all of them are not small, even if they are small, they are much larger than eggs.

"Really?" Old Li couldn't help being excited.

These dozens of acres of land have been cultivated by the old guys since spring. Can you not be excited about the high yield?

Immediately, a few old tricks couldn't help running to Gulan who was waving to dig on the other side.

In fact, everyone wanted to follow, but when they thought about what they were here for, they continued to pick it up based on the curiosity in their hearts.

Seeing the sweet potatoes being pulled out of the grapple one by one, I couldn't help being excited.

Here, Hu Tie, Old Li, and the others surrounded Gu Lan who was working, and asked impatiently.

"Gu Dongjia, what exactly are your sweet potatoes? Is it a fruit? The yield is so gratifying."

"That's right, there's no need to worry about starvation with such a good output."

"Yes!"

"..."

A few veterans talked to each other, and couldn't hold back their excitement.

Although only less than a fraction of the land was found, no one knew the situation in the field better than the few of them who stayed in the field all day.

This sweet potato field is growing extremely well, and the growth of each seedling is basically the same, which means that even if there are errors, it will not be too big.

Gulan looked at the excited uncles with a wry smile, and could understand their feelings, but if you kept asking me a question, you still have to give her time to talk!

She had no choice but to raise her hand and shouted "stop".

Hu Tie, Li, and the others finally came to their senses. They were so excited that they didn't have time to talk to Gu Dong's family, and they looked at Gu Dong's family embarrassedly.

"Cough..." Clearing his throat, Gu Lan looked at them with a suppressed smile.

"Uncle Hu, Uncle Li Qiu...don't get excited, you guessed it right, sweet potatoes are indeed edible, and they can be used as a staple food. It's an accident of mine. I think it tastes good and I'm hungry, so I want to grow it. I tried some things, but I didn’t expect the results to be good.” Speaking of this, Gu Lan also smiled happily.

"Can it really be a staple food?"

"It can be made, I have already experimented, whether it is steamed, boiled, baked or dried and beaten into sweet potato noodles and sweet potato dregs."

Gu Lan nodded. This matter was originally meant to be said, but it happened to be passed on to the village through the mouth of Uncle Hu and the others.

"My God!" Hu Tie and the others were stunned, then excited like a child, several old men who add up to two or three hundred years old went straight in circles, and then went straight to the sweet potato hill on the ground, their burning eyes were like Looking at rare treasures.

A few veterans touched the sweet potatoes, and their eyes turned red when they were excited. Thinking of the hardships of fleeing famine, and the tragic situation of starvation along the way, it would be great if there were sweet potatoes at that time. How could so many starve to death with them? people.

"Okay, okay!" Nan Nan said these two words in her mouth, then stood up vigorously, and joined the excavation team with agricultural tools.

I secretly made up my mind that I will definitely buy some seeds from Gudong's family in the future, and next year they will open up more wasteland to grow sweet potatoes.

As for whether the Gudong family will sell it, there is nothing to worry about.

Just this subdivision of land alone yields a mountain of sweet potatoes, and the yield of tens of acres here is nothing to think about.

Moreover, the Gudong family has always been a generous person, thinking of the grappling hook in his hand, he became more careful.

Gulan's side is busy, and so is Xiang Yunjin's Zhuangzi.

Coincidentally, both parties chose the same day by coincidence, and Xiang Yunjin also came to the scene in person in order to know the production volume at the first time.
