Zhang Xiaoying gave up and asked, "Be more bold and guess?"
The villagers knew that what the Xu family grew in the land was different from theirs, but no one had paid attention to it. When the farmers went to work, every household would go out early and return home late.
How was the harvest?
"Is it three hundred pounds?"
"Hey, you can get over a hundred catties of beans from one acre of land, which is pretty good, so it's not the first time you plant any potatoes, right?"
"How many of the Guitian family are there? Let me tell you straight away? His heart was tickled and he wanted to know."
"That's right, that's right. Let me tell them. Although we were lucky enough to avoid being flooded and plagued by the plague, the crops in the field were buried. We are thinking of planting something to make up for it. Otherwise, how will we spend the rest of the month?"
"Please tell me if the potato harvest is really good, he will directly pay for the seeds when the time comes."
…
Zhang Xiaoying looked at Xu Qinglin, "Boss, let me tell you, what is the yield per mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
It was not the first time that Xu Qinglin attracted so much attention. Even though they were not acquaintances, he stood up with a blushing face and said, "There are potatoes, more than 1,200 kilograms, and sweet potatoes, about 1,500 kilograms."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"Qinglin, can I please stop joking with them? The yield per mu is more than 1,200 kilograms."
"Is the harvest really that high? He has never heard of it!"
"Qinglin, we all belong to the same village, so don't brag!"
No one believed that there was such a high yield.
In a good year, the best rice yield is only over 400 kilograms, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes produced for the first time weigh more than 1,000 kilograms?
Xu Qinglin became anxious and said loudly: "If you tell a lie, he will be struck by lightning!"
Xu Changsheng and his wife also stood up to testify to Xu Qinglin.
Xu Changsheng said: "Is it possible for his eldest brother to dig into the ground every day during those two months and serve those crops every day? I'm not sure if he can. The yield per mu will be much more than that!"
"He, Changsheng and Qiaoqiao went there when they were harvesting potatoes, and they came back with four carts every day. Everyone could see it!" Mrs. Lin also said.
At that time, someone also said: "No, before the flood, could he watch them coming back from Huangnipo in the morning and evening with two carts every day? At that time, he wondered what they were bringing back, but it turned out to be potatoes!"
"That's right, that's right. He also saw it. Qinglin always brags. If he says so much, it must not be that much."
"It's too late to plant rice now anyway, why not try potatoes! The Guitian family hasn't grown that either. Can Zhitu be there now?"
"The Guitian family, can you let Qinglin teach them how to plant it? Don't worry, let alone one thousand catties, it will be eight hundred catties, and he will give me fifty catties per acre of land!"
"Neither does he!"
"Add to him."
…
Zhang Xiaoying raised her leg and pushed it slightly to the east, "Okay, okay, let's eat first, and then we can discuss the matter after eating. In short, please beg us to be willing to plant and listen to Qinglin's teachings. He guarantees that we won't be hungry at the end of the year."
!”
The village chief said loudly: "Cheng, the Guitian family, Dongyu and the others listened to me before, so they escaped the natural disaster. That time, they didn't listen to me. Then I will let Qinglin say, they
Never heard it wrong.”
"Okay!" Zhang Xiaoying responded to Donglai.
The atmosphere at the table became more lively.
Some people even brought wine to toast Zhang Xiaoying.
Zhang Xiaoying was also affected by everyone's emotions and clinked glasses with them.
It turned out that after just two drinks, she noticed that the three brothers, Xu Jinyu and sister, were staring at her for a moment.
Zhang Xiaoying, who almost let herself go, had to restrain herself.
She politely declined the toast from the people behind her, "If you don't drink, don't drink. If you drink again, you'll get drunk. We'll have to discuss planting potatoes after we finish the mat. When we have a harvest at the end of the year, we can let the boss of his family drink with us."
.”
After everyone heard this, they stopped chasing Zhang Xiaoying to toast.
After everyone had eaten and drank, the man was driven away by the woman, and he followed Zhang Xiaoying and her son to Xu's house to talk about planting crops in the eastern half of the year.
When they saw the three rooms of the Xu family filled with potatoes and sweet potatoes, they all showed envy and excitement.
Xu Qinglin was surrounded by them, asking questions about this and that, and spent the entire Dongwu talking until his mouth was dry.
In front of him, Xu Qinglin showed unprecedented confidence, even without Zhang Xiaoying's presence.
Zhang Xiaoying quietly left the house.
Yu Yang was waiting for her there.
"Am I just here for potatoes and sweet potatoes?" Zhang Xiaoying smiled.
Yu Yang nodded, "Master, for such a high-yield crop, he wants to ask for something for the court. He heard Brother Qinglin say that the requirements for potatoes and sweet potatoes are not very high, right?"
"no."
"Isn't overseas the Western Region?"
"You can't hide it from me unless you go overseas. In March, he once went to the county town and accidentally saved a man. He had no money, so he paid him sweet potatoes and potatoes and gave him a book."
Even if she knew that Yu Yang would be suspicious, Zhang Xiaoying would not hesitate to open her eyes and tell lies.
What Yu Yangqiu wanted was just a legitimate channel.
After all, Yu Yang had a lot of doubts in his heart, and since both Ruming and Ru Ming were on the same side, he would try his best to help her round those unreasonable places.
"Those two things are not poisonous. I know that his two sons are hard-headed and would tell anyone about anything. He looked to see if the man was causing any trouble, so he didn't tell them directly and lied to them that he was digging.
"
"His master Minghong, there are too many areas affected by the disaster... Master Buluo, except for the people in Dafu Village, I will not ask for it to be taken out for the time being."
"Um."
"When the potatoes are harvested in the village at the end of the year, he will inform his father about this, and then he will send someone to follow up on the potatoes and sweet potatoes."
After a pause, Yu Yang looked at Zhang Xiaoying: "Master, thank me. Even if I know that he has always been wrong and I have doubts, I will help him without hesitation."
"Silly boy, there are some things that everyone knows very well and there is no need to say them out loud. If you make him unhappy, he might trick me!" Zhang Xiaoying laughed.
She wasn't actually angry.
Yu Yang chose to speak out to prove whether Ru Ming completely trusted her.
As for the future, Zhang Xiaoying doesn't want to think too much.
When a person is in different positions and has different responsibilities, there are more things to consider and take care of.
If that day really comes and Yu Yang becomes suspicious of her, then the fate of master and disciple will be over.
At that time, Yu Yang probably couldn't handle her easily.
"Master, please calm down."
"Okay, don't say those kind words. What he wants is peace in the east of the world, and that kind of cannibalistic world will never happen again. Ayang, if that day comes, he hopes that I will still remember my original intention."
"He will always remember Master's teachings at all times."
"Come here, Master, give me another recipe. I'll find someone to try it out and see if they can make it. Whether it's border defense or dam reinforcement, it will be qualitatively improved."
