Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

County Magistrate Chen got off the carriage, and before he could stand firmly, he heard the greetings from Xu Lizheng. He said with a smile: "Without courtesy, you don't need to be so nervous. I am here to see what Huo Yunchao said today." We can produce ten shi of sweet potatoes per acre. Folks, don’t be too restrained, just do whatever you need to do.”

Huo Yunchao stepped forward and said, "Sir, there are about two to three tons of land here. According to the villain's estimation, two to three stones of sweet potatoes should be dug here. Please order the excavation, the folks have been waiting for a long time."

"Excavation!"

County Magistrate Chen stood on the ridge of the sweet potato field, glanced around, and waved his hand.

Xu Lizheng was the first to respond, leading the crowd to the sweet potato field, waving the sickle in his hand to cut off the sweet potato vines first.

County Magistrate Chen walked around the sweet potato field, pointed to the withered and yellow sweet potato vines at his feet, and asked, "Yun Chao, the sweet potato vines look old and woody, can they still be planted?"

Huo Yunchao knew that County Magistrate Chen was not familiar with farming, so he tried his best to explain the planting of sweet potato vine cuttings in more detail: "Sir, sweet potato vines like this cannot be planted alive, but old stems like these are still alive, so they can still be planted in the soil." It can grow new branches and buds, and when the new buds grow up and branch, they can be pruned and planted as cuttings.”

County Magistrate Chen clapped his hands: "Yes, yes! Yun Chao, you said before that there are two ways to grow sweet potatoes, one is to use sweet potato vines to plant cuttings, and the other is to use sweet potato stems. And the sweet potato stems are How to grow it?”

Huo Yun apologized to County Magistrate Chen, rolled up his sleeves, and borrowed a sickle from Xu Ansheng, "Sir, when planting sweet potato stems, you usually cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and bury them in the soil.

, wait until the sweet potato stems grow sweet potato seedlings and breed more strong sweet potato vines, then prune them, and use the pruned sweet potato vines for cutting planting. "

County Magistrate Chen seemed to understand: "I don't know much about farming, but I heard that sweet potato cultivation mainly relies on sweet potato vines?"

Huo Yunchao was slightly startled. He had to say that County Magistrate Chen's ability to capture key points was superb: "Sir, you are right!"

County Magistrate Chen was very happy to receive Huo Yunchao's approval. He took a closer look and said, "Huh? The ground is cracked. Huh? Here, could it be that the sweet potatoes are exposed?"

"Sir, that's exactly what it is." Huo Yunchao handed Magistrate Chen a sharpened branch with a smooth handle: "Sir, do you want to try the fun of digging sweet potatoes?"

"Okay!" County Magistrate Chen was as excited as a three-year-old child who got his favorite toy. He took the extremely smooth branch, rolled up his sleeves and trousers, and went to dig sweet potatoes in the ground.

The master should have tried to persuade him, but then he thought about it. His young master had always been a child at heart, and his persuasion would only lead to dissatisfaction. It would be better to beautify the young master's behavior and get some good words from the historian.

Thinking of this, the master said to Master Chen in the school: "Your Excellency, I am happy with the people to witness the birth of new grains. Your Excellency dug out the first sweet potato with your own hands, and I hope that Master will record this rare scene in a hundred years." Fan."

Master Chen was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it at all. He kept saying compliments and promised his master that he would make Magistrate Chen wise and mighty, and shine brightly!

The master told the masters and students of the good school to arrange painting themes for them respectively. When they came to Huo Yunchao and Chen County Magistrate

Come and learn how to dig sweet potatoes.

Huo Yunchao explained to County Magistrate Chen in detail how to harvest sweet potatoes so as to keep the sweet potatoes intact:

"Sir, the fruits of sweet potatoes come in bunches, so we have to expand the mining range as much as possible, otherwise the potato cubes will be easily damaged. Once the potato cubes are damaged, they must be eaten as soon as possible. They will go bad within three days. .”

County Magistrate Chen listened very carefully and nodded from time to time.

When County Magistrate Chen started digging with a groan, Huo Yunchao turned to face the master who was winking at him. He didn't react for a moment and moved his mouth: Master, what do you want?

The master pointed to the branch specially used for digging sweet potatoes in the hands of County Magistrate Chen. Huo Yunchao realized it and quickly got one for the master: "Master, please."

As if he had found a treasure, the master happily came to the opposite side of County Magistrate Chen: "Sir, let's compete. Let's see who among us can dig the biggest, most and best sweet potatoes!"

"Compete! Let's compete! Who is afraid of whom!"

Magistrate Chen was so motivated that he expanded the circle as much as possible and accidentally dug out the skin of the sweet potato next door.

"Ah!" Magistrate Chen said with an annoyed look on his face: "I dug up a sweet potato."

When Huo Yunchao saw the thin sweet potato that had been stabbed through, he hurriedly reassured: "Sir, it's okay. This small sweet potato can be buried directly in the ground, and sweet potato vines will grow out in a short time."

Magistrate Chen received comfort and encouragement from Huo Yunchao, regained his strength, and continued mining.

Huo Yunchao didn't just stand there stupidly. He picked a geomantic treasure and started digging.

County Magistrate Chen chatted with his master while working: "I will pay attention this time. Whether I dig it quickly or not is not the point. Sweet potato seeds are rare, so I have to be careful.

"

The master consoled him: "Master, if you turn your head back to the ground, it is normal for you to make some mistakes."

County Magistrate Chen is a rare reflective person who reflects on his actions while working: "Hey, I used to see farmers doing all the work so easily, but now I see Yun Chao can dig out big sweet potatoes with just a few digs. , I thought digging sweet potatoes was very simple, but I didn’t expect there was so much knowledge here. It seems that everyone is knowledgeable everywhere, and we still have a lot to learn."

The master nodded approvingly: "Master, we should learn more. But there are specialties in the art, and we can't compare with experienced farmers. Let the farmers compete with us in reading and writing, and they won't be able to do it."

The conversation between Magistrate Chen and Master was so simple and unpretentious. Huo Yunchao listened in the corner while working. He increasingly felt that Magistrate Chen was too rare. He obviously lived in a wealthy family and had no arrogance in him.

Huo Yunchao was suddenly curious about what kind of person could raise such a rare person as County Magistrate Chen.

"Here, this sweet potato is as big as a child's head?"

"Master! Your sweet potato is really too big! Check to see if there are any bug eyes!"

"Master, can you hope that I will order something good? It's a big treasure that I finally dug out. Why do you have to say something about the bug eyes if you have to make a scene!"

"Master, I was wrong, I was wrong."

……

County Magistrate Chen and his master worked while bickering, and their efficiency was far inferior to Huo Yunrong and others, but they dug up the "King of Potatoes" in this sweet potato field!

Huo Yunchao frowned, thinking about it, and shouted loudly: "God bless you for a great victory! Your Excellency has dug up the King of Potatoes!"

County Magistrate Chen and Master looked at each other and both looked at Huo Yunchao: You kid! return

Can you play like this? Good for you!

Huo Yunchao blinked his eyes and pretended to be innocent: "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir, for digging out the potato king!"

Xu Lizheng exclaimed loudly: "Congratulations, sir, for digging out the King Potato!"

"Congratulations, sir, for digging out the King Potato!"

"Congratulations, sir, for digging out the King Potato!"

……

Xu Ansheng and others followed closely behind, shouting in unison.
