Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 27 Up to 56 catties

Luo Feimo watched Gu Dalian showing off with a smile, and felt that the world could be so beautiful. Facing all the misfortunes with a positive attitude could also make his mood better!

After being in a daze for a while, he heard Gu Dalian shouting, "Idiot, come here and eat sweet potatoes with us!" Then he saw Gu Wenzhi pushing the unburned firewood aside and putting out the fire with sand. Gu Dalian used a wooden stick to push aside one of the big sweet potatoes. He was so anxious that he touched the sweet potato with one hand, but got burned and pulled it back. He tried with his other hand, but got burned twice and kept rubbing his ears with his hands!

Finally, they could pick up the big sweet potato. Gu Dalian casually picked a few large leaves, gave one to each person, and then broke the sweet potato in half. The potato core was soft and glutinous, and the sweet aroma hit them in the face, making people want to open their mouths and taste it!

The nimble little hand handed half to Gu Wenzhi, smiled slyly, broke it vertically, and handed it to Gu Xiaolian. Then he peeled off the charred skin, bit into the potato core, and started to enjoy eating it!

Seeing her sister eating like that, Gu Xiaolian also clumsily peeled off the skin. A breeze blew by, and she raised her hand to push a strand of hair that had blown onto her forehead behind her ear! Then she took a big bite of the sweet potato. It was sweet, soft and delicious!

Luo Feimo saw Gu Wenzhi peeling and eating half of the sweet potato, and he knew that he was being rude by staring at Gu Dalian just now! He was annoyed that he couldn't control himself! He reached out to the fire and picked up a sweet potato, which was so big, and peeled it and started eating!

After several people finished eating, they looked up and burst into laughter. It turned out that several people had not washed their black hands. You rubbed your face, he rubbed his nose, Gu Dalian's ears were all black, Gu Xiaolian had three lines on his forehead, Gu Wenzhi's was more elegant, with a line on one corner of his mouth, Luo Feimo rubbed his eyes, and he also became a national treasure!

Gu Dalian took out a bottle of water and asked them to wash their hands and faces! Then she straightened her waist and raised her head: "I solemnly declare: I am Gu Dalian, and I have found food that will benefit the country and the people of our Darong country and fill their stomachs! We need to report it to the court!"

Then he chuckled and said, "Second brother has a task for you. Look at this piece of land. I'll give you tools. Dig as much as you can!" As he said that, he took out a shovel from the space and said, "My task is to harvest sweet potatoes!" So, in this mountain, you could see two handsome guys digging crazily and two cute and clever girls picking sweet potatoes crazily!

After an hour, there was still a large area of ​​sandy land that had not been dug. Several people were already panting with exhaustion! They sat down on the sandy land! Gu Dalian said, "Guess how many sweet potatoes can be harvested from one acre of land?"

Gu Wenzhi thought about it, and suddenly said in surprise: "The yield of sweet potatoes per mu can reach thousands of kilograms, which is several hundred kilograms more than grain!" Gu Dalian shook her head: "That's too little. The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is at least 3000 and at most or kilograms! Second brother, if the Darong Kingdom develops more sweet potatoes, will the people still be hungry?"

Luo Feimo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gu Dalian with admiration! Although this woman was just a village girl, she was full of righteousness and served the country and the people! He wished he could send a letter to Beijing right now to ask for credit for this bright and cunning woman!

Gu Xiaolian's eyes lit up when she heard her sister's words, and she choked with excitement: "Sister, can our country of Dayong grow these big sweet potatoes? If we grow them with big sweet potatoes, children like us won't have to go hungry!"

Think about it, they dug up about an acre of sweet potatoes! With a yield like this, there should be about 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms. Gu Dalian sent all the leaves and sweet potatoes into the space. You know, the sweet potato leaves are also good ingredients!

A few people hurriedly covered up the one acre of land, walked down the mountain quickly, and rushed back to their cave! After a discussion, they thought that there should be more than ten acres of sweet potato land that had not been touched, which meant there were at least 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms of food, plus sweet potato leaves. If they wanted to provide disaster relief, how many people would they have to save?

It's exciting to think about it. The best way now is to consult with the old man surnamed Ma! Gu Wenzhi and Gu Dalian have long realized that the old man Ma has a special identity. Ma Mingli and Ma Xiaoqin are not ordinary people either! Handing things over to them should be able to play a greater role!

Luo Feimo felt more and more that the brother and sister were extraordinary, with sharp eyes and such accurate judgment of people! He also admired them even more! Just because Gu Xiaolian was only eight years old and not suitable to participate, he asked her to stay in the cave, and the other three followed to find Uncle Ma!

The three of them appeared in the Ma family cave together, which surprised everyone. They took their seats, which were actually stones that were temporarily moved out. Gu Wenzhi explained their purpose!

Old Man Ma stood up solemnly, and Ma Mingli also stood up hurriedly. All the people around him came forward, their faces full of joy and excitement! Old Man Ma's voice was two degrees higher: "Thank you three friends for leading the way. If the matter is true, I will find a way to convey the news to the emperor and ask for credit for you!"

Without saying much, more than 30 people rushed out of the cave with tools and ran towards the next mountain! When the huge bunches of sweet potatoes were piled in front of everyone, Gu Dalian handed the two big sweet potatoes they had roasted before to Old Man Ma and Ma Mingli, and asked them to peel and taste them. The two of them broke the sweet potatoes and tore off a small piece each. When they put it in their mouths, they suddenly felt sweetness in their mouths, which had been bland for a long time, and they were extremely happy!

Gu Dalian said that her master had given her roasted sweet potatoes before, and said that the sweet potatoes could be steamed or boiled, and that the sweet potato leaves were also a treasure, and could be used in cooking, and were good for the human body! If you want the effect to last longer, you can also make dried sweet potatoes!

As for the method of growing sweet potatoes, it seems that the master also told her about it, but it has been a long time and she has learned too many things, so it is a bit vague. When she thinks it through, she will write it down and send the method to her!

When Old Man Ma heard this, he was filled with emotion! Facing a large field of sweet potatoes, it was actually discovered by this little girl, and she was so selfless, it was really admirable! He looked at Luo Feimo beside him calmly!

If this kid can recruit these brother and sister as his disciples, it will be of great help in the future!

Everyone was discussing the plan here, but they didn't expect that the noise they made when they left the cave was too loud. Yao saw them and went back to tell Gu San, who then told the old man and his wife! Liu Li saw that something was wrong and hinted that Liu Daqiang should go out and tell the news! Liu Daqiang slipped out without making a sound and chased in the direction Gu San said!

In the cave, Old Lady Zhou was furious. She slapped her thigh and cursed: "These two traitors, bastards, they let others deliver the medicine, but now they found something good and colluded with others to keep it all for themselves. Have you forgotten who raised them? They should have been drowned in the toilet in the first place!"

Gu Si said in a deep voice: "Mom, don't quarrel yet. Send a few people to check the situation. Don't make things awkward. We haven't left Yingdang Mountain yet!"

Old Man Gu knocked on his pipe and said to Gu Da, "Big Brother, you, the third brother, and Liu Li go first. You are fast, and your mother and I walk slowly, so follow behind!"

Gu Da responded and stood up and went out: "Okay, Lao San, Liu Li, we will go first!"

Gu San followed Gu Da closely, only half a step wrong. Liu Li had no choice but to follow behind, which made Old Lady Zhou angry. She said in a vicious voice: "They say a son-in-law is half a son. If something really happens, he has to be your own flesh and blood. If you are so slow in doing things, it will make people feel unhappy!"

Gu Meihua's face turned green and red. Looking at her mother, she felt suffocated. The mother who used to protect her seemed to have changed. No matter how she acted, she always stood by her. Now she was always skeptical and dissatisfied with her! Gu Meihua was worried. If she didn't have her parents to support her, it would be hard to endure the days of fleeing from famine!

Just as she was daydreaming, Liu Meili came forward, tugged at her skirt, and motioned for her mother to sit down! Gu Meihua looked at her daughter's calm eyes, and her heart suddenly calmed down!
