Chapter 131 Sweet Potatoes and Millet
Meixiang, who had just returned to the Liu Mansion from the Xiaoliu Village market, was immediately surprised by the things Fengliu and Chen Da brought back.
"Could it be that God saw that I had a hard life in the first ten years, so he gave me the physique of a carp to compensate me?"
"What is the carp physique?" Situ Yidong, who had just walked in, asked curiously. He sat down next to Meixiang and handed her a few pieces of paper he had been holding in his hand.
"The carp physique is used to describe a person who is very lucky, as if blessed by a koi fish, which makes everything go smoothly in their life or work, and often makes people envious."
As she answered, she reached out to take the papers he handed over, "What are these?"
"What is this?" Situ Yidun asked, pointing at the backpack on the ground.
"Ah ha ha......"
"Sister Xiang'er, we two really have a good understanding of each other!" Situ Yidong took the tea bowl handed over by Xiao San, took a sip and sighed: "The tea at home is still delicious and comfortable."
Meixiang glanced at his somewhat smug expression and sneered, "Tsk tsk, listen to what you are saying? It seems like you have never been short of tea, right?"
"That depends on who you drink with, right? As long as I'm with Sister Xiang'er, even the river water tastes sweet."
"Tsk." Feng Yizhen, who was drinking tea, was choked by these words and spat out the tea before he could swallow it, "You, you, cough cough cough..."
"You're so smooth-talking," Mei Xiang glared at him, then turned to ask Feng Yizhen with concern: "Cousin Zhen, are you okay?"
Feng Yizheng, who had finally recovered his breath, looked at Situ Yidonggang with a ruffian look on his face, then at Meixiang with a calm expression. He gently shook his head and thought to himself that it seemed that he had thought too much. Sister Xiang'er was still young, how could she think of these things?
"Haha, this Village Chief Ou is indeed a character, and seems to have a good character. Cousin Zhen, take a look." Meixiang lowered her head and flipped through the papers she had received from Situ Yidong. They were indeed the results of Chen San's investigation into Ou Mengde.
Ou Mengde is 45 years old. His ancestral home is from Xiaoliu Village, Liuzhou Prefecture. His father was the village chief of Xiaoliu Village. He has two sons and one daughter. He used to be a legal advisor in the neighboring prefecture of Liuzhou Prefecture in the previous dynasty. Later, he was dissatisfied with the city lord's exploitation of the people in various pretexts and argued for the people. As a result, he was suppressed by his superiors and excluded by his colleagues. Finally, he resigned in anger and returned to his hometown with his wife and children to become the village chief of Xiaoliu Village. His character and reputation are good.
Feng Yizhen nodded after reading it, and gave a very high evaluation to Village Chief Ou: "He is quite a character. From what happened at the potato market this time, we can see that he is dedicated to serving the people and has a flexible and useful mind."
"After all the potatoes are planted this month, there will be a big harvest next season. The focus will be on promotion throughout Liuzhou Prefecture and reception of people from other states who come to buy. I suggest that the grain and potato promotion line be handed over to him and Mr. Liu. What do you two think?" Meixiang lowered her head and went over the things to do from beginning to end in her mind, then said to Feng Yizheng and Situ Yidun.
"I think I can."
"I agree."
The two nodded in agreement with Meixiang's proposal. As the business expanded, things came one after another, and Liuzhou's people alone could not handle it all. So it was inevitable to delegate power appropriately and appoint other talented people.
"Cousin Zhen, you and Brother Chu should prepare for this matter in advance. We will discuss the specific details later." Meixiang turned to Situ Yidong and asked, "Brother Situ, how is the reorganization of your military camp going? The summer harvest is coming soon, and you need to pay more attention to the deployment of personnel. After the summer harvest, it will be the first recruitment after the reform. The Household Department will also take this opportunity to conduct a census of the population of Liuzhou Prefecture to find out the personnel composition of the entire prefecture. With these data, we can better implement various measures later."
Situ Yidong nodded when he heard this. He had started to implement these things one after another recently. Although the Situ family was in charge of Haoyue's army, as the second child of the third generation of the family, his eldest brother took care of the above matters, and he used to live a carefree life. But since he came to Liuzhou Prefecture, he had to arrange many things by himself and keep an eye on them bit by bit. He really suffered a lot these days.
I believe that Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming's lives are equally difficult, and at the same time, everyone is making rapid progress.
Oh, just hold on. Who told him to have other thoughts? Situ Yidong glanced at Meixiang quietly, and instantly saw the basket on the ground and remembered what he had been interrupted before. "Sister Xiang'er, what were you talking about when I came in? And what's in the basket on the ground?"
"Hey, look at my memory. I was just interrupted by Village Chief Ou's identity information. Come on, let me show you something good. My luck is really good, hahaha..."
Meixiang stood up and walked to the backpack that Chen Da and Feng Yijia had brought back, and called Feng Yizheng, Situ Yidong and others to come closer and take a look.
"Look at this. Doesn't it look like wheat or rice ears?" After seeing them nodding, he continued to say proudly, "This is called millet. It is also a kind of food. It is very good for making porridge and cakes."
As Meixiang spoke, she carefully opened a small bag on the edge of the millet ear under their surprised gazes, and spread it in the palm of her hand to show them the golden millet grains.
Then he picked up a piece of sweet potato from the bottom of the basket and asked with a mysterious smile, "Do you remember the sweet potatoes I mentioned when I first discovered potatoes?"
"You won't, you won't tell us this, right?" Feng Yizheng widened his eyes and asked incoherently.
Meixiang ignored the question and said to Xiaosan who was standing behind her, "Busan, go to the kitchen and get a knife and a plate. Also, bring a basin of water. And if Aunt Li is free, ask her to come along."
Xiao San came back quickly, followed by Aunt Li who was wiping her hands as she walked and looked curious.
Meixiang first used the clean water in the basin to wash off the dirt on the surface of the sweet potato to reveal the red skin inside. Then she carefully peeled off the sweet potato skin with a knife to reveal the white flesh inside. Then she couldn't wait to peel off a small piece and throw it into her mouth, starting to chew it with a crunching sound.
"Yeah, that's the taste, sweeter than I imagined. Come on, come on, try it, it's good stuff." As she said that, she cut a small piece for each person. Seeing them carefully put it in their mouths and chew it, Meixiang was amused and burst into laughter.
