The sun sets over the western mountains, and the land is filled with afterglow.

The aroma of sweet potatoes emanates from the Ye family's kitchen.

The steamed sweet potatoes are taken out of the pot, cut into pieces, coated with a layer of corn starch, fried in oil until golden brown, then taken out, and then boiled with sugar.

The sweetness of the sweet potato and the silky syrup perfectly blend together, making it crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, sweet and fragrant.

Thinking that there was still a lot of pork at home, Ye Zhizhi fried a plate of small crispy pork mixed with scallions and batter.

Several boys were guarding the stove.

While she was frying, they were eating, and their little hands and mouths were all greasy.

Ye Zhizhi wiped Wuya's mouth and said, "You're not allowed to eat, you bitch, didn't I say that? Why can't I change it?"

"The meat and sweet potatoes made by grandma are so fragrant that Yaya can't help it."

The small crispy pork is crispy on the outside, fragrant onion, and full of salty taste. Mixed with the sweet sweet potato, it effectively relieves the greasiness of eating too much shredded sweet potato.

Wuya can't wait to eat it until the end of time.

He touched his little daughter's head and asked the children to sit at the table and eat together.

Erzhu twisted his butt restlessly.

Thinking that the stepmother had just come back from Li Zheng's house, she suddenly called them into the house, and then stuffed him with four or five pairs of palm-sized triangle pants, asking him to wear them every day to prevent the growth of bacteria.

He didn't understand what bacteria caused, but he knew he couldn't disobey his stepmother, so he put on underwear.

But after all, I felt a little uncomfortable. When I put the fabric on my butt for the first time, I always felt that I had become a bad man who was restless at home.

"You guys eat slowly, I'll go out and run some errands."

Ye Zhizhi quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice, guessing that it was time for Li Zheng to go home, so he took a piece of steamed sweet potato and walked to Li Zheng's house.

At this time, the sky had darkened. Because the sweet potato fields were too close to the mountains, there was a faint sound of howling wolves. Mrs. Xiao was afraid that something would happen, so she took the whole family and carried the sweet potatoes back home.

Fortunately, I didn't meet any acquaintances along the way, so I was safe.

After the door was bolted, the family sat on the ground panting and sweating profusely.

Mrs. Xiao quickly steamed some wild vegetable steamed buns and rice porridge to share. After eating and drinking, she told Xu Lanlan, "Go find Li Zheng."

Xiao Dajiang took a sip of cold water and felt that this was not a good idea. "Mom, let's just dig a few baskets of sweet potatoes. It is not the behavior of a gentleman to seize the credit of the third younger brother and sister."

"Shut up! You're useless! You know how to piss me off! This sweet potato was discovered by a little prostitute. She didn't keep it, and she was destined to make Lan Lan's wedding dress! You all keep your mouths shut! , our family will be the saviors of Tianshui Village from now on!"

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Xu Lanlan said directly, "Mom, it's not too late. I'm afraid that Ye Zhizhi will take away my credit, so I'll go find Li Zheng first."

She took the sweet potatoes she had steamed before and ran to Ushimasa's house panting.

It was a coincidence that I arrived earlier than expected, and I bumped into Li Zheng, who had returned from town with a sad look on his face. He was smoking a cigarette and complaining to his wife.

"The county magistrate has said that he will give us half a month to think of a way to deal with it. Whoever can solve this trouble will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver and publicly praised in the county... If we can't think of a way, we lizheng will also Stop it."

Eat the king's wealth, share the worries for the king.

The generals at the border of the imperial court had to lead troops to fight and needed food, so they had no extra food to take care of the people of Yongzhou.

The higher authorities put pressure on the county magistrate, who then took action against them.

Xu Lanlan's heart skipped a beat. Public praise? 20 taels of silver? !

"...Li Zheng, I have a solution!"

Xu Lanlan took a step forward, faced the surprised expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Shanglizheng, took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, handed the sweet potatoes over and said:

“This is a new variety I discovered in the back mountains today, especially the edible sweet potatoes described in my son’s previous miscellaneous books.

I dug a few and took them home, steamed them with water, and tried them. They were sweet, creamy, and tasted great!Just like potato wedges, it feels very full.So I thought I’d talk to you quickly and see if we could all go to the mountains to pick it up and eat it? "

Li Zheng said in surprise, "Daughter-in-law Dajiang, where did you find this thing? Is it produced in large quantities?"

"It's close to the mountains. My mother-in-law measured it and said that there are more than six acres of land covered with sweet potatoes."

Xu Lanlan has also grown crops. She made a rough estimate, "One acre of land can produce about two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes!"

"What? Such a high output?!"

Li Zheng's wife shook Li Zheng's arm with excitement, "There are about a hundred households in Tianshui Village. If we spread them out, one household can have about a hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, and they can eat them for a month! "

Why isn't Li Zheng excited?

This almost helped him solve the problem in front of him!

If there really are tens of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes, why worry about the people in Tianshui Village having nothing to eat and starving to death?

Why worry that he can't communicate with the county magistrate? !

He took the sweet potato and tasted it, "It tastes good, but it grows in the back mountains and hasn't been eaten by wild animals. Are you sure it's not poisonous?"

"Don't worry, Rizheng, what is written in the book will definitely not be wrong!"

Xu Lanlan made a good excuse for finding out about this thing.

Li Zheng then put on a coat and walked out, "Daughter-in-law Dajiang, let's go, take me to the back mountain to see!"

Boss Li Zheng thought he was talking nonsense, "It's dark today, and we're close to the mountains. I'm afraid there are wolves. It's not safe! Let's talk about it if we don't know where we are!"

"We can't say it tomorrow! This is all food. If we delay it for a long time, there may be changes!"

Li Zheng's wife couldn't resist him, so she had to wake up her two sons and eldest grandson, and asked them to find a few strong men to go up the mountain with them, and then let them go.

As Li Zheng walked, he praised Xu Lanlan and said, "I misunderstood you about those bad things before."

If Dajiang's wife left the six acres of sweet potatoes to her family, she would be able to eat them for at least two or three years, but she selflessly came to him and gave the sweet potatoes to the villagers to eat together. This shows that Xu Lanlan and Ye Zhi had previously The contradiction between Zhi and Zhi is due to some misunderstanding.

Xu Lanlan is not as selfish and petty as he thought!

On the contrary, it is very generous!With the world in mind!

Xu Lanlan was so excited by the praise that she suppressed her joy and said, "No misunderstanding, please don't say that, Li Zheng. I don't even take it to heart. I just want the people to eat. You can also talk to the county." Order the messenger!"

"Don't worry, if these sweet potatoes really have the yield you said, I will report this to the county magistrate!"

On the other side, in front of Li Zheng's house.

Li Zheng's wife sighed at Ye Zhizhi who was looking for someone, "You're a little late. Your uncle has gone out to do some business. I've been busy all day and I'm afraid I won't have time to receive you. You should go home and have some sleep first." Sleep, listen to my aunt and get up early tomorrow..."
