Within a few days, the herbicide showed its jaw-dropping effect, and the harvested leeks were handed over to the kitchen to supply the Yang family.
I can't stop praising this kind of chives that are rich in flavor, very crisp, tender and delicious, and leave a fragrant aroma in your mouth after eating.
But at this time, Yang Qian, who had eaten several bowl-sized chive buns and smacked his mouth with unfinished thoughts, stood on the corridor with a melancholy expression and solemn eyes.
Zhili, who was standing beside him, kept eating. "Sir, would you like to drink the hawthorn water?"
"No, you drink it quickly. Hiccups are annoying." Yang Qian said in disgust without looking back.
Zhili, who had been numbed by the young master's disgusting words and deeds, let out an ooh.
I drank the bowl of hawthorn water that the lady requested for the young master to prepare for every meal.
The young master's appetite has increased dramatically these days, and the way he eats makes Zhili stunned, but he has no intention of ruining his stomach.
On the other hand, Zhili himself, whose food intake was less than one-third of the young master's, already felt like he was almost exhausted.
Every time, all the hawthorn water that the young master never touched would be poured into Zhili's belly, so that Zhili could not get sick from overeating.
"Sir, it's so sunny outside, you'd better go back to the house."
After drinking hawthorn water and rubbing his belly for a long time, Zhili finally felt relieved and looked at the hot sun.
"I'm thinking, what should I do if I can't finish the leeks?" Yang Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The leeks that were treated with that failed herbicide formula grew like crazy. In just a few days, they grew to a foot tall.
Unfortunately, the yield of this thing is extremely high. Only less than 10% of the harvest was harvested, which was almost 150 kilograms of leeks.
Even if each person had one pound of leeks a day, there would be enough leftover for nearly forty people in the house for three days.
Yang Qian, who used to be industrious and unable to distinguish between grains and grains, asked Zhili, his close friend and scholar, "Have you ever purchased leeks in your house? Do you know how much they cost per pound?"
Zhili, whose limbs were not working hard and could not distinguish between grains, tilted his head and thought for a moment. He remembered that last year, he and Manager Chen had helped purchase vegetables.
"Sir, common vegetables like leeks only cost one penny per kilogram. That time, Manager Chen purchased twenty kilograms of leeks and it cost less than fifteen penny."
Hearing this price, Yang Qian's originally churning mind suddenly became cold. "One penny, one thousand catties is just enough, haha..."
I have traveled through this turbulent era, and my goal at this stage is to work hard to become a wealthy landowner who makes money every day.
Instead of becoming a small vegetable vendor who carries a vegetable basket and fights with the old mothers in the market for a penny or two pennies.
But the remaining leeks cannot be left to rot in the ground. Yang Qian thought of the tenants in the Yang Mansion as an excellent place for the leeks.
"Go, ask someone to come and cut all the remaining leeks for me. Then have them send them to our tenants in the Yang Mansion.
There are about seventy households, and each family will receive fifteen kilograms. If there is any leftover, just give it to Aunt Song to cook."
"Fifteen pounds?!" Zhili's eyes stood up and he grinned. "Master, can they finish eating so much?"
Even if it is fifteen pounds of grass, the old cow would have to chew it for a long time with his eyes rolled.
Yang Qian waved his hand and said disapprovingly.
"Although this thing is a vegetable, it is still edible after all. With more leeks, no matter how thin the porridge or rice is, it can become more solid. Isn't it good for them to fill their stomachs?"
"Otherwise, if these leeks continue to grow, who knows what evil moths will appear..."
Yang Qian was really worried that when he woke up one day, he would open the door and see only the leeks in the courtyard and not the fresh morning sun.
It's easy to make people feel green... bah, it makes people feel very gloomy.
#####
Looking at the scene in front of the house that passed by all night, Yang Qian felt extremely happy. Once again, inch-long young leek seedlings stretched out from the cut area.
The yield of leeks is really quite large, and the growth is very rapid, which makes Yang Qian a little worried about whether the fertility of the land can support the crazy growth of leeks.
But when I think about it, if someone comes to the yard and carries the diluted livestock excrement and splashes it here.
Even if he, Yang Qian, is not a straight man with a mysophobia, he still feels shuddering.
I am not the Zhuge Kongming who worked hard in Nanyang, and I don’t have the habit of squatting by the dung bucket and reading like a book.
Just when Yang Qian was struggling with what to do, Zhili, panting, pushed open the courtyard door that had been closed all year round and rushed towards this side.
"Sir, someone is coming from Dongdu. Madam, please come over quickly."
"This is a good friend of the master who is here. He is a minister of ceremony in the ceremonial office of Honglu Temple in Chaozhong. He came to our Xingyang County on official business this time. As entrusted by the master, he came to the mansion to visit."
Along the way, Zhili, a pretty boy with a cute face, told the story of the coming person in detail. Yang Qian, who had just stepped out of the courtyard, paused in his steps.
"Gao Shilian? Hiss..." Yang Qian took a breath of cold air. Although Yang Qian graduated from a physical education college and did not major in arts and sciences, he was still a cultural youth and had read a lot of various historical novels.
.
Isn't the grandson of Gao Yue, King of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the son of Gao Mai, the governor of Taozhou in the Sui Dynasty, the biological uncle of Empress Changsun?
I really didn't expect that just a few days after arriving in the Sui Dynasty's Daye period, I would meet such a historical celebrity, which made Yang Qian feel a little more hopeful.

When Yang Qian rushed to the front hall, he happened to see a tall, handsome middle-aged man in his thirties, sitting at the desk and talking to his mother, Han.
When Mrs. Han saw Yang Qian's appearance, she waved with a gentle smile. "Dalang, come quickly and say hello to Uncle Gao."
"It's been less than a year since I last saw you, and my nephew is becoming more and more handsome and upright."
Gao Shilian, who had already stood up, stretched out his hand to stop Yang Qian who was saluting him, and showed a gentle smile.
"I heard your mother say before that you contracted the disease during the flood. Now it seems that you should be fine."
As a junior, Yang Qian obediently sat next to his mother, Han, and listened to his uncle talking about the flood that affected the entire county, and even Dongdu was greatly affected.
Even though he was an official of Honglu Temple who was responsible for presiding over etiquette for foreign guests, he was also assigned the task of coming to Xingze County to inspect the post-disaster management work.
This flood also caused many buildings to collapse in Dongdu, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry who were responsible for construction, water conservancy and other matters were working overtime. Yang Qian's biological father, as an important official of the Ministry of Industry
Of course, members can't escape either.
While he was talking, a steward came quickly without noticing the guests in the hall.
When I saw Uncle Song, the butler, standing outside the front hall, I couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Steward, there are several tenants outside the house, and they must ask to see the young master..."
"Why do you want to see the young master?"
Uncle Song, the butler who had just thought of scolding the steward, couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the hall.
Yang Qian, who was sitting next to him, also raised his head in confusion.
"Those tenants said they wanted to thank the master in person for his kind act of giving leeks."
