Fast travel: I take the autumn water to embrace the galaxy

Chapter 359: The cannon fodder that died long ago (5)

Youyou calculated the time, and when she went back this time, she could receive the potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.

If she can hand over these things, she will probably get a lot of rewards, but she can't hand them over for the time being. Let's wait until she is admitted to the Juren Examination!
By that time, every household in the village should have planted it, and there would be no fear of starvation in the big disaster three years later.

Youyou just wants to be safe and stable, and doesn't like trouble. Although there is always a lot of intrigue in official circles, it would be better to have less.

It's good to be promoted. Scholars in the Yuan Dynasty had a high status. She didn't need to be an official in the court, nor did she need to be inferior to others. As long as she was not at the foot of the imperial city, she could do whatever she wanted.

But I still have to go to the capital Chang'an. After all, her Aying might be in the capital.

"Master, you are back!"

"Ok!"

After resting for two days, Youyou came to the backyard.

"Si Jin, Si Ling, come here, dig out a few plants and let me take a look!"

"Yes!" The two of them didn't think there was anything wrong with letting their weak men do farm work. Their days were already good.

"Master, what kind of plant is this? There are seven or eight of them under one plant!" Si Jin asked happily, holding a bunch of potatoes.

"This is a kind of food called potato. Let's make something to eat later!"

"okay!"

"Master, what is this bright red thing?" Si Ling asked, also holding a bunch of sweet potatoes.

"This is a sweet potato. It's delicious roasted or boiled. It can also be eaten raw!"

"Master, can you cook something to eat later?"

"can!"

"Master, this smells so good!" Si Huan ran to another field and came back with two pieces of corn.

"This is corn. It's delicious when you take it home and cook it. It's soft, glutinous and sweet. Since you've moved on, go ahead and break eight of them!"

"Yes, Master!" Si Huan happily picked up the basket and left.

"Nanfeng, go and ask Patriarch Xu for me, and tell me that I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Okay, these are enough for lunch. Let's go and take them to the kitchen. I'll teach you how to make them!" Although Youyou is not good at practical skills, she is still very rich in theory.

"Yuyou, what's the matter with calling me so irritably?"

"It's nothing big, I just want to treat the clan leader to a meal and then discuss something with you!"

"what's up?"

"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing!"

"Don't fool me!"

"No, when have I ever deceived you?"

"That's why you kept quiet about taking the exam!"

"You're not silent, are you?"

"That's right. You even took the case examination and came back. When the person who announced the good news came, I was shocked!"

"Oh, I'll try my best to tell you in the future!" Youyou thought it was not a big deal, but she forgot that in ancient times, clans were the mainstay.

"That's fine!"

"Chief, what do you think of today's dishes?"

"It tastes good. This one is soft, glutinous and sweet, and it feels very full. I've never seen this one before!"

"Chief, this is a new seed I discovered. I don't plant much. I only plant one acre of each kind, but the yield per acre is thousands of catties!" Youyou said with a smile.

"The yield per acre is a thousand catties, I'm afraid you're trying to trick me!"

"The things are being grown in the backyard. If the patriarch comes with me, we will go to the backyard and take a look and we will know!"

"I want to see it!" The clan leader didn't quite believe it. If the yield per mu was really a thousand catties, it would bring huge changes to the entire Yuan Dynasty.When they got to the backyard, the patriarch started digging himself. He was so happy when he looked at the nest of seven or eight potatoes and sweet potatoes. He also looked at the three or four corn cobs on the corn stalks, and he was crazy with joy.

Youyou didn't care and went back to his room. He would come in when the clan leader was finished getting excited.

As expected, the clan leader ran back to the house excitedly to find Yuyou.

"Yuyou, how did you get these seeds, and do they have any requirements for planting land?"

"I got it from a foreign businessman. It doesn't matter the land, it can be planted on sandy land!"

"Tell me, what did you come to discuss with me? It must have something to do with these foods!"

"Yes, I plan to let the people in the clan start planting. Can I ask the clan leader to help me select a few more loyal families!" Youyou took a sip of tea, "In addition, these crops will be recommended to the top after I pass the exam. , when the time comes, we will have to trouble the clan leader a lot!"

"Okay, all of this is fine!"

"Okay, then please trouble the clan leader to recruit people first. The ones planted in my backyard must be dug out. In addition, I will prepare a contract here, which will need to be signed and pledged by then!"

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"temporarily unavailable!"

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements!" The clan leader ran out to find someone excitedly.

"Master is so awesome!" Si Jin said with admiration.

"Is your dad feeling better?"

"I'm much better now. I'll come and pay my respects to the master in two days!"

"Yeah!" After dinner, Youyou fell asleep directly. As a result, she didn't wake up naturally the next day, but was awakened by the noise outside.

"Who is coming from outside?"

"Master, the patriarch is here with his people!"

"So early!" Youyou looked at the sky, which was just getting dark, and was speechless for a while.

However, she was speechless, and she resigned herself to her fate and got up. After all, she could understand that the clan leader was so anxious, but she had to make a promise next time not to come so early, she hadn't even woken up yet!

"Yuyou, did you just wake up?"

"No, I haven't woken up yet!" Youyou was a little angry, "Did everyone find them so quickly?"

"Yes, I have found a total of ten families. They are all reliable and tight-lipped!" the clan leader said with a smile.

"That's troublesome!"

After saying hello to the others, Youyou asked Si Ling to take the people directly to the backyard to work. Since everyone is so active, let's start working!

"Wow, there are really so many!"

"Clan leader, is this really edible?"

"This smells sweet, sweeter than sugar!"

Everyone was busy and talking, but this didn't stop them from working. They only had three acres of land and they could finish it in half an hour.

The patriarch took everyone to weigh them together. There were three thousand catties of potatoes, five thousand catties of sweet potatoes, and one thousand catties of corn!

Looking at this data, everyone was filled with excitement.

Youyou finished her work and walked out of the study with the written contract.

"If you want to plant, come and sign this contract!"

The clan leader took a look at the contract and read the contents to everyone. There was nothing wrong with it. Everyone signed and stamped it neatly. Those who couldn't write their names were signed by the clan leader and they fingerprinted it.

Then Youyou directed Si Jin to record the names of the people who wanted to take away the three crops. Then everyone took some home to eat, and left the rest with Youyou for storage. After all, it was now past the planting season.

After finishing the work, Youyou rested for two months. Finally, he had no choice but to get on the carriage and took Si Jin, Si Huan and Nan Feng to Fucheng to go to school. There was no other way. The master wrote letters every now and then to remind him. As for He Yan and Si Ling Ze stayed behind to look after the house, and Youyou also asked the clan leader to take care of her. As long as the two of them didn't seek death, nothing big would happen.

"Hey, I really don't want to go out in this cold weather!" Youyou looked at the snowflakes floating outside, feeling a little sorry for herself.
