Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 215 Celebrate the New Year happily

Why does Xie Yanyan feel weird?

Is this a bit like a confession?

Or is it the ancients’ desire to repay? Repaying life-saving grace with one's own life?
She wasn't sure, but if he wanted to stay, he could stay. If he got tired of staying, he could leave if he wanted to!
Zhou Tangtang has never planted land herself, but she didn't believe it when she heard from Xie Yanyan that she could achieve a yield of more than 30 dan per mu.

The most fertile field she knew had a yield of just over one stone per mu.

Xu Wenrong heard that Zhou Tangtang was going to see the fields planted by Xie Yanyan, so he went with him.

Zhao Yining heard from Zhang Hengliang that Xie Yanyan wanted to verify the yield per acre, but he couldn't come, so he sent Zhang Hengliang and Cui Yu.

Zhang Hengliang recruited several soldiers and dug half an acre of the sweet potato field according to Xie Yanyan's request.

When those underground roots came out and each one weighed more than ten kilograms, Zhang Hengliang was shocked.

Half an acre of land was dug, weighed, and weighed 20 stones.

Moreover, Xie Yanyan cut it open and asked them to taste it. It was crispy and sweet.

The Xie family are already very good at building earthen kilns. They dig soil at the head of the field and everyone builds a large earthen kiln together.

Pick out the sweet potatoes and kiln them.

When the fragrant sweet potatoes dripping with sugar juice came out of the oven, everyone's admiration for Xie Yanyan was like the waves of the Yellow River.

Zhou Tangtang took a piece of sweet potato and bit it. Seeing that she couldn't wait to eat it, Xu Wenrong immediately shouted: "Don't be in such a hurry! Be careful not to burn it."

Before he finished shouting, Zhou Tangtang was already burned, with blisters on his mouth, and tears were about to come out.

Xu Wenrong gave her a glass of cold water to cool down first.

He ran home and gave her the oral burn patch that Xie Yanyan had prepared: "Princess, be careful. Put the medicine on it first and see if it still hurts?"

Zhou Tangtang had tears in his eyes just now due to pain. Now he felt a little embarrassed and blushed, saying, "Thank you, I'm really useless."

As they interacted, Zhou Shaoyu had already squeezed in beside Xie Yanyan and peeled a sweet potato for her: "Try this, it's quite sweet."

Yes, if it flows with sugar juice, it must be sweet.

As for Zhang Hengliang, he didn't think so much. He asked Xie Yanyan for ten pieces of roasted sweet potatoes and quickly ran to Governor Zhao.

Putting it on the table: "Overseer, please try it."

"Is this? How?"

Warlord Zhao had seen the sweet potatoes, and Xie Yanyan gave him a basket yesterday. The dark thing in front of you is for barbecue, right?

Zhang Hengliang didn't say anything, just found a thin one, gently peeled off the outer skin, and handed it to Warlord Zhao: "Try it, be careful not to burn it."

Governor Zhao said while eating: "It's really delicious. This grain is good. You don't need to rub the skin, you can eat it directly. It's really delicious and sweet when roasted!"

Zhang Hengliang said that the yield of sweet potatoes can exceed thirty dan per acre.

Warlord Zhao was startled: "What did you say? Thirty stones? Are you awake?"

Zhang Hengliang said that he was definitely not mistaken, and if he didn't believe the governor, he could go and see for himself.

Governor Zhao murmured: "No wonder she was so cheerful when allocating land. She allotted fifty acres of land without hesitation. The output of one acre of her land can complete the food delivery."

If there were such a high yield of food, Dongguan County would definitely become the richest county in the world.

Why worry about military pay and food?

Leng Luo and Dong Shiliu also looked at the output. Is this a human being?
On the same day, Governor Zhao asked Zhang Hengliang to make an agreement with Xie Yanyan that he would buy all the grain produced in her land at the market price and give him cash. Zhou Tangtang also immediately decided for Xie Yanyan that the Nanhai Palace would need the grain for the next season.

Xie Yanyan said: "I don't want money. Construction of Xie City will start in the next year. Can you send people to help me build Xie City and take care of food without paying wages?"

Governor Zhao immediately agreed. There were many idle soldiers on his side.

On New Year's Eve, Xie Anfeng drove a carriage and took his son and grandson to Boluo County to buy the last batch of new year's goods. Xie Yanyan, Zhou Shaoyu, Leng Luo, and Dong Shiliu all went together. They were all just going to have fun.

Although the street is not as wide and lined with high-rise buildings as the 22nd century street, it is still very lively at the moment.

People nearby were squeezing in and out of the streets, including those selling vegetables, steamed buns and pancakes, as well as those selling window grilles and vegetables. They were shouting and shouting one after another, making it very lively.

Several people went shopping separately, Zhou Tangtang followed Xie Yanyan, and Zhou Shaoyu followed them. Whatever they bought, he was responsible for carrying it.

"It's all sugar, it's all sugar," Xie Yanyan heard someone shouting, "Everything is sugar?"
She and Zhou Tangtang walked over and saw bundles of things behind the vendor. They were anything but sugar cane.

She walked over curiously and touched the sugar cane. The sugar cane was far from as thick as it was in the 22nd century, but she just didn't know if it was that sweet.
"How do you eat it?" In her previous life, sugar cane had a special sugar cane knife to peel it. She looked at it for a while and found that none of the stalls selling sugar cane here had any peelers.

The vendor looked at her strangely. He didn't know how to eat it? Just chew it with your teeth, how else can you eat it?
Zhou Shaoyu saw her touching it and thought she wanted to eat it, so he immediately said to the vendor: "Count these, I want them all."

The vendor was so happy when he met a big customer that he quickly tied up his things, counted the money, and Zhou Shaoyu carried them all to the car.

Then pull out one, break it, and use a dagger to peel off the sugarcane skin piece by piece from the knots.

He cut off a section and gave it to her. He cut off the section at the root. Seeing Xie Yanyan take it, he explained: "The section near the root is hard, but sweeter."

Zhou Tangtang stretched out his hand: "Give me a piece."

"Sister, you can eat it after you go home. Xie Yanyan has never eaten sugarcane, so I will peel it for her first."

Zhou Tangtang was not angry, but his teeth were shining when he smiled.

He held her arm and said secretly: "I think my brother likes you!"

Xie Yanyan's face turned red. Yes, is it?
Zhou Tangtang was so happy, hey, this child is not expressionless, he can blush! There is something going on between my younger brother and the head of Yongning County!
She has always been carefree and doesn't hide it: "Sister, the more I think about you, the more compatible you two are. Do you like him, okay? We can be together from now on!"

Xie Yanyan didn't say anything, just lowered his head and walked quickly.

Zhou Tangtang burst out laughing, it’s so fun to tease children!
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Tangtang and Zhou Shaoyu did not return to their fiefdom, but stayed at Xie's house to celebrate the New Year.

In the morning, Xu Wenrong wrote a few couplets, Xie Anfeng cooked glutinous rice paste, and Zhou Tangtang looked at the couplets with stars in his eyes.

Put up the red Spring Festival couplets and hang up a dozen red lanterns. The whole yard is booming and full of joy.

Xiao Nannan is four months old. She is fair and chubby, with big almond eyes and always smiling.

Zhou Tangtang held Xiao Nannan in his arms, teasing her to learn how to speak, and admiring Xu Wenrong's couplets and calligraphy.

Thinking about it, I blushed.

The eldest son of the Xu family in Suizhou can be called the best counselor in the world. This literary talent is unmatched.

The Xie family is very lively today. The children of the Zhou family have all gone to the Xie family, and the Miao doctor has not returned to his own home, euphemistically calling it: celebrating the New Year with the elders.

He even chased Xie Yanyan and said, "Master, it's Chinese New Year, and all the elders give out lucky money!"

It’s good that the master is an elder, but you, an old man in his dozens of years, are you embarrassed to ask for red envelopes?

The New Year's Eve reunion dinner was put on the table, and just as he was about to change glasses, there was a knock on the door. Xie Lingyu opened the door and screamed in surprise.

"Sister, look who's coming?"
