Shen Lie looked calm and greeted Miss Xuan'er, asking her to choose a room she liked to live in, and then he went to Tian Hong to attend the Jinyi Guards.
Lead the horse.
Shen Lie and others walked into Zhuangzi talking and laughing.
Since they left the big prison in the capital and came to the foot of the beautiful green mountains, everyone's mood has improved, with relaxed smiles on their faces.
Although the capital city is prosperous, the busy life every day is too hard.
After all, Miss Xuan'er was the number one in the brothel and had seen many big scenes. Although she was a little shy, she quickly became generous and looked at Shen Lie's strong back as he walked away with her bright eyes.
Her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she endured the burning feeling in her heart, and naturally took off the scarf that wrapped her hair, letting the cloud-like hair fall on her thin shoulders.
Then he followed Shen Lie and a few other men and walked slowly and comfortably in this remote farm.
As the refreshing breeze blew slowly, the fragrance of the earth hit her nostrils, which made her pretty face look a little excited, and her smile was so sweet and lovely.
One step, two steps...
Her timid steps became softer.
"Hey, Miss Xuan'er."
Not far away, Shen Lie, who was walking out of the horse pen, waved to her and said loudly: "Don't be formal when you get home. You can choose a house. There is a well behind the house and a clean room..."
Look at the young man whose whole body is full of sunshine.
Miss Xuan'er smiled sweetly and hurriedly responded in a sweet voice: "Hey, I got it!"
The delicate laughter of Yingying Yanyan echoed in the village.
Not long after.
Shen Lie waited for the three women to settle down, freshened up a little, and then took them around the village.
After passing the lush green fields filled with fruits, vegetables and grains, we came to the doors of several large barns in a cool and ventilated place at the foot of the mountain.
These warehouses are all newly built large blue brick and tiled buildings, with lime sprinkled inside and outside the rooms, and cats and dogs are kept.
The cat is a tabby cat and the dog is a native dog.
Seeing several big tabby cats sleeping soundly in the sun, several women even cheered and ran over happily to pick up the tabby cats.
But the cats didn't show any respect and immediately ran away alertly. However, the local dogs came up wagging their tails and flattered the hostesses.
Looking at Miss Zhang, Yun'er's pretty face was filled with joy.
Shen Lie and Tian Hong looked at it with knowing smiles, and then asked Victor to open the warehouse, and then the tall Taoist priest took out the key and opened the door of the warehouse.
A gust of cool breeze came out, and a large warehouse of hundreds of square meters was filled with fresh potatoes and various ingredients.
Looking around, there are fresh tomatoes, green and red peppers, as well as onions, ginger, garlic and various condiments, all stored in categories. Of course, the main ones are potatoes.
Looking at the piles of potatoes in the barn, Shen Lie smiled crookedly. This kind of crop from the West is showing its characteristics of high yield and cold resistance day by day.
Because the growth cycle is short, the weather is smooth, and the light and moisture are sufficient, another crop of potatoes is dug out of the fields and stockpiled.
Looking at the warehouse full of ingredients, Yun'er, who was teasing the big yellow dog, ran over.
I was stunned for a moment.
The little maid covered her mouth and let out a soft cry: "Wow, Master!"
It turned out that the young master had secretly purchased the Nuo family property at the foot of the remote green hills outside the city without telling her, which made her involuntarily widen her delicate black and white eyes.
Shen Lie smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes."
Beside Zhang Jingxiu and Miss Xuan'er, their bright eyes widened. Looking at the warehouse full of ingredients, Fang's heart was deeply shocked.
Especially Zhang Jingxiu was shocked, his black and white eyes were shining brightly, a hazy mist was rising, and he murmured to himself in his little mouth.
"It's only been a few days!"
This thing matures too quickly.
Not to mention that everyone was surprised by the yield of this crop.
Shen Lie naturally knew what he was doing, and looked around the warehouse with his deep eyes, and soon discovered a bunch of novel crops.
I felt happy.
Shen Lie walked over quickly, bent down, carefully picked up a plant rhizome covered with soil, wiped off the mud on the rhizome, and looked at the familiar skin.
Shen Lie's spirit was lifted up, and he shouted crazily in his heart, God has paid off, he has finally found this big treasure.
sweet potato.
The legendary sweet potato!
Shen Lie suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a smile: "Where did it come from?"
Victor hurriedly said: "After receiving the order from the shopkeeper, I entrusted several fellow villagers from the church to search for it in Guangdong, and they actually found this thing."
Shen Lie held a piece of sweet potato in his hand and nodded. As we all know, the origin of sweet potatoes is Mexico and Colombia in central America.
Later, the Spaniards brought it to the Philippines and other countries for cultivation. As a history buff, everyone knows the importance of sweet potatoes.
This stuff was introduced to the Ming Dynasty in the early ten thousand years of the Ming Dynasty, around the same time as tomatoes and potatoes. The first person to introduce sweet potatoes in public records was named Chen Yi.
This is a Cantonese.
According to historical records, in the early years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yi, who went to sea for business, took a friend's merchant ship from Humen to Annan.
After he arrived in Annan, the local chief served them an official dish when he received them. This dish was sweet and soft. In addition to being very delicious, it could also satisfy hunger. This was sweet potato.
But at first glance, sweet potato, a magical crop, is a strictly controlled luxury cash crop in Annan, and its planting methods are strictly confidential.
However, Chen Yi had other ideas. After living in Annan for two years, he risked his own life and bribed several officials responsible for planting sweet potatoes.
Then he hid the sweet potato seeds in a bronze drum and secretly transported them back to Guangdong.
Afterwards, Chen Yiru found a treasure and bought 35 acres of land on the barren hills of his hometown in Humen, and began to try to grow sweet potatoes, and soon achieved great success.
Once this sweet potato is harvested, it immediately shows its excellent adaptability to any land, and its yield is astonishingly high.
“Ten stones per acre is worth twenty times the amount of grain grown.”
Later, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, this great treasure was taken seriously by the Qing court. So Qianlong felt as if he had found a treasure and ordered the promotion of planting, so that the national grain production soared like a rocket!
This started the famous sweet potato era.
At this moment, Shen Lie held the piece of sweet potato tightly in his hand and looked at the pile of precious sweet potato seeds. It took him a long time to calm down.
Waving his big hand, Shen Lie said with a smile: "Moving things... Victor went to kill some fish and two chickens. We will have a good meal for lunch today!"
Tian Hong and several Jin Yiwei stood aside and laughed in agreement: "Oh, Master Shen will cook the food himself, then we will be in a good mood!"
Laughing.
Shenjiazhuang seems to have become a paradise.
It was noon in a blink of an eye.
The steaming dinner table was filled with various delicacies made from potatoes, including potato stewed chicken, shredded potatoes, potato cubes, and even boiled fish.
