Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

Both Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer nodded, but their hearts were still a little anxious.

An anxiety of longing for power and getting ahead!

In the next yard, Li Laosi said a few words to Lord Hou and then went back.

Leaving Jiayin sitting in the arms of foster father, she whispered in his ear and said, "Father foster, do you remember that Fu Niu wants to give you a surprise gift?"

Hou Ye couldn't help laughing, and responded in a low voice, "Remember, foster father is still waiting."

Jiayin smiled and hugged Master Hou's neck, pointed out the door, "Come on, I'll take foster father to see the surprise."

One big and one small went out and went all the way to the East Wing.

Dongmei was sitting in the main room of the east wing doing needlework, when she saw Jiayin coming, she laughed, "Missy is here again."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Lord Hou to salute, "Master Hou, Missy has been in and out for several days, and she said she was preparing a surprise for you, but she didn't take too much trouble."

Lord Hou nodded, followed Jiayin's guidance, opened the door and entered the south room.

Ye Shan and Dongmei immediately left the wing, one guarding the door and the other guarding the yard.

But at this moment, Lord Hou looked at the weird things on the big kang, and stared at Tong Jiayin, very puzzled.

On the long big kang, the original new kang mats were uncovered.

On the top of the kang, a potato with sprouts is placed on the far left, next to it is a sliced ​​potato, and finally there are several large flowerpots.

The first flowerpot was filled with most of the soil, the second flowerpot contained a small tender seedling, the third flowerpot contained a three-foot-high seedling with small purple flowers, and the fourth flowerpot The seedlings in the pots are half withered...

"Ahem, Fu Niuer, is this your surprise for foster father?" Master Hou asked cautiously, for fear of hurting the little girl's filial piety.

Jiayin nodded heavily, raised her chin, and started the small science class in a serious manner.

"Father, what I want to give you are two kinds of food, one is potatoes and the other is corn. This is the first kind, potatoes. You see, such a big potato can be cut into pieces, and each piece has Bud eyes. As long as one piece is planted in the ground, such a seedling can grow in half a month, bloom in one and a half months, and wither and mature in three months. But do you know where the fruit is?"

Hou Ye watched the little girl's small hands touch several flower pots one after another, and finally looked over with gleaming eyes.

Even though he had already guessed in his heart, he still shook his head cooperatively.

Sure enough, the little girl was overjoyed, her chubby body wriggled like a cheerful puppy wagging its tail, "Ye-father is so stupid, it's called a potato, of course it's in the soil!"

After all, Jiayin was about to pick up the flower pot and pour it out, but unfortunately her face turned red, she didn't pick it up, and finally sat down on the kang tiredly.

Hou Ye couldn't bear it anymore, he laughed out loud, the fat girl pouted out of anger!

Hou Ye hurriedly raised his hand and turned the flowerpot upside down, and a lump of soil fell out, tightly wrapped by roots.

And in the roots, there are a few potatoes hidden indistinctly.

"Huh?" Master Hou looked a little surprised, and directly separated the roots from the soil with his hands, and finally got a dozen large and small potatoes.

The big one is like a man's fist, and the small one is as big as a duck's egg. Together they weigh five or six catties.

Seeing that Master Hou was stunned in astonishment, Jiayin proudly picked up the first small piece of potato and put it aside to form a clear control group.

Sure enough, Lord Hou's eyes widened even more, his face flushed red, he didn't have his usual cold and serious look.

"This... this, there are so many knots?"

Jiayin nodded heavily, and the flesh on her fat face trembled, "Yes, foster father, is it a huge profit?"

Hou Ye took a deep breath, and seemed to want to correct the fat girl's mistake in using words, but after much deliberation, the four words "a lot of money" are really the most suitable.

Such a small piece, less than two taels, can actually grow five or six catties of fruit!

And it seems that planting is very easy and does not require a large area. If it is planted in large patches, will the yield per mu be more than a dozen dan?

No!Maybe twenty loads!

Jiayin laughed more and more complacently, and pulled him away to the end of the kang.

This time, a grain of corn was placed in a small bowl first, and then several large flower pots, from the seedlings with two leaves to the semi-dry corn stalks, with a big corn cob.

"Father, hug me! I want to break corn!"

Hou Ye vaguely guessed something, endured the shock, and quickly lifted the fat girl over his head.

The corn stalks looked a bit taller than him and thicker than sorghum stalks, so they should be used as firewood, right?

Jiayin broke off the corn cobs with all her strength.

Hou Ye quickly took it, this time without Jiayin's command, he peeled off the corn husk, revealing the golden fruit inside.

Jiayin hugged the corn cob and put it directly next to the corn.

The huge contrast and the sharp visual impact made Hou Ye's thousands of words stuck in his throat.

This, too, is "one million profits"!

Jiayin was busy for a while, and she was a little hungry, so she struggled and fell to the ground.

In the corner of the room, there was a small table with a small charcoal basin, two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and two small stools beside the table.

Jiayin lifted the lid of the wooden pot, revealing the pork ribs, beans, potatoes, and a few pieces of tender corn in the small iron pot, with golden corn tortillas pasted on the side of the pot.

"Father, come and eat together!"

As she spoke, she grabbed a piece of ribs and gnawed on it.

Hou Ye hurriedly took the cloth towel and wiped her hands clean. Finally, he hesitated for a moment before picking up a piece of corn cake.

After only one bite, he narrowed his eyes and quickly grabbed another piece of potato!

Jiayin gnawed so much that her mouth was full of oil, and she still didn't forget to continue the small science class.

"Father, when the corn is tender, it can be boiled or roasted. When it is old, it can be dried and ground into powder, pasted into pancakes, and cooked in porridge. Potatoes can be used as food and vegetables. Although they are not as sweet as sweet potatoes, they are delicious. Too much will not cause heartburn, it can be kept for the winter like cabbage, and it can be fed to horses, in short, it is a good thing!"

While talking, she brought a piece of tender corn to Master Hou's mouth. Master Hou took two bites, nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Jiayin smiled and narrowed her eyes, eating more cheerfully.

It's a pity that she is still young, and her stomach will be full after eating a little food, and finally nestled in the arms of Lord Hou, a little drowsy.

Even here, she didn't forget to ask.

"Father, there are still a lot of potatoes and corn seeds in the north house. If father has planted them, he can kill the barbarians."

Lord Hou replied softly, "Okay, go to sleep."

After finishing speaking, he slowly ate up all the tortillas and potatoes in the pot, and then carried the fat girl out of the house.

Dongmei came forward, and Lord Hou ordered in a low voice, "Clean up the iron pots and bowls and chopsticks in the south room, and keep the rest intact. From today onwards, you husband and wife will take turns guarding the north and south rooms, and no one can enter or leave."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Dongmei hurriedly bowed her head in response, and Hou Ye carried the fat girl back to the main room, spread out the bedding, helped the fat girl take off her coat, and wiped her hands and face.

Fortunately, the fat girl slept soundly and was not woken up, her belly rose and fell very regularly.

Lord Hou stood up and gently opened the door.In the yard, the evening breeze in late autumn is very cool.

Lord Hou walked around and around until late at night, but Ye Shan, who was guarding the door of the East Wing, couldn't see it, and stepped forward to persuade him: "Master Hou, it's too cold, your injury is just right, you'd better go back and rest."
