The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 144 The Little Bazaar (2)
Xuanyuan Mo's curiosity about Su Ling has reached the extreme. He doesn't know what is in her little head, how can she know so many things? He knows, and he also knows that there must be Su Ling in that letter. Ling's credit is in it, but she doesn't have the slightest intention to ask for credit. He really doesn't know how to evaluate such a person.

While Su's father was selling sweet potatoes, many wealthy families wanted more. After all, one hundred catties, if it was delicious, would not be enough to eat, and there might be some to give away to relatives and friends. Su Ling is not afraid that they will take this sweet potato for planting, after all, it is to be promoted, as long as this planting method does not spread to other countries, it will be fine.

Father Su was very helpless about these people's requests, and turned to Su Ling for help. Although it was said before that each person could only buy one hundred catties, Su Ling still relaxed the restrictions on the rich and powerful families in the town. The family sold fifty catties more.

Even so, the supply of sweet potatoes was still in short supply. Su Ling's sweet potatoes were sold out before noon, and some thought that they couldn't get any from her family, so Su Ling had no choice but to recommend them to other stalls to buy. It didn't really sell for a while.

There was an endless stream of people who came to buy sweet potatoes until noon. It is estimated that many of them saw someone buying them back. After seeing them, they were very curious, so they rushed to buy again.

Soon, the sweet potatoes were sold out, and some people who came to buy still couldn't buy them, but some kindly gave him some of the sweet potatoes at home, but there were not many.

And the memorial sent back by Xuanyuan Mo earlier also came into the hands of the emperor (Huangfutian). The emperor was really very happy when he first saw it, but suddenly he thought of Xuanyuan Mo's and Duanmuyu's considerations, and immediately Summon Master Xuanyuan (Xuanyuan Cheng), Master Duanmu (Duanmu Yun) and Master Duanmu (Duanmu Zhi).

Old Master Xuanyuan was one generation older than the emperor. Even though he was on the throne, Emperor Huangfu still respected Old Master Xuanyuan and Old Man Duanmu very much.When meeting old master Xuanyuan and old man Duanmu, they would also respectfully call him old man.

Xuanyuan Chenghe Duanmuyun has the privilege of not being expensive when meeting the emperor. This is a privilege granted by the previous Emperor Huangfu.

They are considered acquaintances, and Huangfutian trusts these two people very much, "According to the two old men, we should vigorously promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes?" Huangfutian asked.

"It's true. Although our Huangfu Empire has a large land and abundant resources, and your majesty loves the people, the exorbitant taxes are not too much, but many people's life is just to maintain food and clothing. If we can plant a large number of sweet potatoes, I believe that many areas can solve the problem. There is a problem of food and clothing, and the weather conditions in the Huangfu Empire are excellent, which is suitable for the growth of various plants, especially sweet potatoes. The yield of sweet potatoes is extremely high, and if other countries get them, they will produce them in large quantities." Xuanyuancheng's words can be described as It is comprehensive. In his opinion, it must be a reward from the heavens that the Huangfu Empire can get sweet potatoes to make their country stronger.

"Yes, I agree with old man Xuanyuan's words." Although Duanmuyun always loves to fight against Xuanyuancheng, especially when it comes to some trivial matters, he agrees with Xuanyuancheng's statement very much. "And the method of planting sweet potatoes must not be spread. If they go to other countries, they will plant them. Once the food and grass are sufficient, it will definitely lead to war. Your Majesty also knows that those people have always been eyeing our Huangfu Empire. Yes, seeing our country's vast resources, they all started to think carefully, but fortunately Your Majesty is wise enough to cut off their small thoughts." Duanmuyun did not forget to flatter Huangfutian while speaking.

However, it is obvious that this is very useful for Huangfutian. He has thought about what the two of them have thought about, but the question now is who should be sent to do the work of promoting sweet potatoes, and the secrets must not be leaked out.

"This sweet potato will be promoted in Bai County for the time being. It will depend on the situation in other places. After this year, we will continue to see how the production will be." Huangfutian said. "Mo'er's memorial also said that it was discovered by a farmer in Qingshi Town. They have made such great contributions. How do you think I should reward them?" They are seldom paid attention to. Although the Su family has meritorious service in this memorial, as long as he mentions it in it, he will know it. However, Xuanyuan Mo still spent a lot of pen and ink to describe how the Su family worked so hard to cultivate Sweet potatoes, and also solved a pest infestation not long ago.There must be a problem, there is a problem... This is what Huangfutian is thinking now.

Xuanyuancheng and Duanmuyun also knew about the family that Huangfutian was talking about now, but they had only heard about it, and had never seen it before. During the Chinese New Year and holidays, their family would receive gifts from Su Ling's family. Of course, the gifts were revealed It was originally given to Xuanyuanmo and Duanmuyu, but they sent them back to the capital.

Speaking of the Su family, what Xuanyuancheng misses the most is the fruit wine. He drank the red bayberry wine as early as April and May, and the little purple fruit wine left at home is also left by him last year. , he doesn't dare to drink too much now, he is afraid that if he finishes drinking, the new wine will not arrive by then, then he won't drink it, he will definitely become addicted, he can't live without these fruit wines for a day now, So I can only drink a small glass every day, waiting for the arrival of new wine.

"Speaking of this Su family, why does it sound so familiar to me?" Huangfutian asked doubtfully.Huangfutian had drunk the fruit wine brewed by Su Ling's family, it was specially brought back by Xuanyuan Mo, and Su Ling's family was also mentioned at that meeting, but Huangfutian didn't pay attention to other things when he saw the fine wine listened.

"The emperor still remembers the fruit bar he drank before! It was brewed by the Su family." Duanmuyun also misses the fine wine of Su Ling's family very much, but it's a pity that two jars of the wine that Duanmuyu brought back were given to Duanmu You know, there was less left for him, but he still took out a jar from Duanmu Zhina secretly, and then filled another jar with some ordinary wine and put it back.

Duanmuzhi can be said to love wine the most. Ever since he received these fruit wines, he was very reluctant to drink them, so he didn't finish the first jar of wine, so he didn't realize that the second jar of wine had been stiffened by Li Daitao.

"The ones who say it's bayberry wine and purple fruit wine?"

"Yes."

"How could I not remember! I have always wanted to ask Xuanyuan boy for two more jars, but unfortunately he keeps refusing." Not to mention that the fruit wine is good, but when it comes to this fruit wine, Huangfutian is very angry, Xuanyuan Mo gave him a few jars of fruit wine to whet his appetite, and now when he asked again, Xuanyuan Mo actually said there was no more.As a result, he feels that other wines are tasteless now, and he hasn't had a drink for a long time. Now he will think of this fruit wine, as if his alcohol addiction has come up again.
