Luo Jiaojiao: ...

Luo Jiaojiao gave Su Rou a complicated look.

Aunt, you seem to have forgotten that you were like this before.

After Su Rou started to do business, her expression was much better than before, and her work was done in a hurry.

Grabbing Ye Zhen's hand, she went out to pick out some decent clothes for Ye Zhen.

Luo Jiaojiao was planning to find Luo Jue after talking to her grandma.

He was stopped by Luo Yan on the way.

"Jiaojiao, wait."

Luo Jiaojiao turned her head to look over, and saw that Luo Yan was holding a bamboo basket and handing it to Luo Jiaojiao.

"Second brother went out to patrol the city and said he won't come back for dinner. You go and deliver the food to him."

Luo Yan supported her head, "Second brother seems to say that today he is going to visit the refugee camp, and also go to the streets to check if anyone is short of money, so you can go to these two places first."

Luo Jiaojiao had nothing to do now anyway, took the bamboo basket from Luo Yan's hand, and accepted the job with a smile.

……

Luo Jiaojiao held a bamboo basket in her hand, and sat in the carriage watching the bustling scene of Yong'an Building.

The streets of the current Yong'an Building are spotlessly clean, and there are uncles and aunts who are responsible for cleaning the streets.

These people signed a contract with the government, and they ate official meals.

There is not a single beggar on the street, and although most of the people are dressed plainly, none of them is willing to eat cheap food.

There are many hawkers doing business on the street, and each of them has an enthusiastic face to attract customers who come and go.

This prosperous scene is even much more prosperous than the capital city in previous years.

The capital city is the capital of the country, under the feet of the emperor, it is naturally prosperous.

But it only took three years for Yong'an City to go from being dilapidated to being now comparable to the capital city.

"Miss, here we are."

Luo Jiaojiao got off the Luo family's carriage carrying a bamboo basket. This was the market.

There are hawkers and shops everywhere.

Luo Jiaojiao took two steps with the bamboo basket in hand, trying to see Luo Yan in the crowd.

Suddenly, Luo Jiaojiao was attracted by a voice.

"Auntie, what are you selling?"

The group of people who asked this question were not badly dressed, and I am afraid they were not from the nearby city.

Because people in the nearby cities definitely don't know what potatoes are.

The aunt smiled and said to the interrogating man, "Are you from outside?"

The leader, a man in his 30s or [-]s, with a handsome appearance, nodded slightly, "Yes, we are from outside, please clarify our doubts."

The aunt was so amused by the words of Wen Zou Zou, "You scholars are talking about Wen Zou Zou. We, Mr. Luo, are not like that."

"This one is called a potato. It costs ninety cents a bucket. It can be eaten steamed, fried, stewed or fried. Don't underestimate this potato. Back then, we were almost starving to death. It was Mr. Luo who brought us the whole city." Planting potatoes together saved our lives."

"Not only our Yong'an City, but also the surrounding cities survived on the potatoes we donated."

"Master Luo also took farmers who are good at growing potatoes to other cities to teach them how to grow potatoes. You don't know how good people in other towns see us in Yong'an City."

Having said that, the leading man raised his eyebrows curiously, reached out and picked up a potato, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully:

"Master Luo, you sound like a good official. Is it true that potatoes can be eaten in any way as you said?"

The aunt's face was full of pride, "That's not true, we, Mr. Luo, are our parents! These potatoes can be used as a substitute for rice. It can be used as a vegetable or a meal. If you don't believe me, buy some and go back and taste it. gone."

A bearded man behind the man frowned, "Can it be used as food? The lowest price of grain outside is [-] coins per dou, but if it can be used as food, you only sell it for [-] cents per dou?"

"The food outside is expensive because they lack food, and we don't lack food. We can't eat all the food we grow every year. Can't we just sell it so cheap?"

The aunt was a little impatient, "I said you guys are dressed like dogs. Why do grown men talk so much? Do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, don't delay my business."

"You are disgraceful!" The bearded old man was furious.

The leading man smiled, "I think this potato is quite interesting. Let's buy some and try it when we go back to see if it's like what she said, it can be eaten in any way."

Behind the man, the man who was watching a little sullen silently took out his purse and paid the money.

After the group paid the money, they continued walking forward.

The old man was indignant, "That aunt really knows how to brag, and even dared to say that they can't finish their food. Could it be that the potato production is particularly high?"

"It's okay, the yield is not very high, and one mu of land is only a thousand catties." Luo Jiaojiao said casually.

"One mu, one thousand catty?", the old man shouted out.

Luo Jiaojiao was startled, patted her chest, and said angrily:

"Grandpa, don't make a fuss, okay? You startle me, my food is going to be spilled."

"You are the one who scared me. Do you know what the concept of a thousand pounds per acre is?"

"Is there a lot of grain per mu? We have three kinds of grain in Yong'an City."

Luo Jiaojiao pointed to the stall selling corn and sweet potatoes next to it, "This is corn, and it can be steamed and eaten instead of rice. It's soft, glutinous and sweet."

"The one next to it is sweet potato. Steamed and stewed soup is also delicious, and it can also replace rice. I like to eat it roasted the most. It's fragrant and sweet."

The leading man looked a little excited when he heard this.

He reached out and grabbed Luo Jiaojiao's arm, "Little sister, what you said is true."

Luo Jiaojiao frowned and looked at the place where the man was holding her hand, "Just keep talking, don't touch her."

The man didn't let go, and looked at Luo Jiaojiao seriously, "Little sister, answer me, what you said is true, the output of these grains is really as high as a thousand acres."

Waiting for the man to answer.

It didn't take long for him to realize something was wrong.

I saw the street vendors who were bigger and shouted at the side of the road, but now they all stood up and stared at them with unkind expressions.

He subconsciously released his hand.

Xiong Da stood at the front, ignoring his own butcher stall, walked fiercely to the front and pulled Luo Jiaojiao behind him.

"You outsiders, were you bullying our Miss Jiaojiao just now?"

"That's right, outsiders dare to bully Miss Jiaojiao!"

The man asked suspiciously, "Who is she, why are you so nervous about her?"

The lady they bought potatoes from just now rushed up and snatched the potatoes from the old man's hand, "Who is she? She is Mr. Luo's sister. If Mr. Luo hadn't starved to death in our whole city, where would we be?" Can you live such a good life now?"

"I won't sell these potatoes to you anymore. If you bully Miss Jiaojiao, you are bullying us!"
