Chapter 36 Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Huo Yuan looked at the young man in front of him who said "the villain will sue first", and silently let go of his hand.

He went straight forward, stopped Uncle Wang Liu, and told him to slow down.

Zhao Keran rubbed his fingertips on the wrist that Huo Yuan had scratched, feeling a little itchy.

"Oh! My lord! This is the fat fish I bought at Liu Si's in the morning! This fish can still swell up when you touch it, it's chubby!" Uncle Wang Liu handed the fish to Zhao Keran with a happy face, his eyes full of expectation, "My lord, you must accept it! Liu Si said that this fish is very rare."

Fat fish?Isn't this a pufferfish?

"How do you eat this river... how do you eat fat fish?" Zhao Keran asked Uncle Wang Liu cautiously.

Uncle Wang Liu didn't understand, so he scratched his head, "Then how else can I eat the fish? Isn't it just washing it, removing the scales and cooking it in the pot?"

Good guy!Cook the blowfish directly, the head is real iron.

"Uncle Wang Liu, has anyone eaten this fish before?"

Uncle Wang Liu didn't understand why Zhao Keran asked such a question, but he still thought about it carefully and said, "I haven't seen it, but Liu Si from Hexi Village should have seen it. He is the only one who has sold this fish all these years."

Zhao Keran's expression darkened, and he called Rufeng, "Go to Hexi Village and bring Liu Si here."

Seeing that Zhao Keran's expression was not right, Wang Liushu was a little frightened, and asked cautiously in a low voice, "My lord, what's wrong with this fish?"

Zhao Keran looked at the puffer fish that Uncle Wang Liu was holding in his hand, and slightly raised his eyebrows, "This fish is poisonous."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Keran felt a pain in his arm.

"Poisonous?" Huo Yuan grabbed Zhao Keran's arm, the shock and fleeting grief on his face made Zhao Keran ignore the pain from his arm for a moment.

"It hurts..." Zhao Keran whispered, and Huo Yuan realized that his subordinates were too strong and hurt him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Zhao Keran curled his lips. If an apology is useful, what should the county magistrate do?He stretched out his arm, "Then rub it for me."

Huo Yuan was at a loss for a moment when the young man didn't play cards according to the routine. He stiffened his body, pulled the opponent's arm with one hand, and slowly rubbed the place he just grabbed with the other hand.

Before rubbing it twice, Zhao Keran slapped his hands in disgust, "Brother Yuan, are you rubbing or panning? If you continue to pan, my arm will be useless."

Huo Yuan lowered his head, looking at Zhao Keran's thin arms and legs.

It's so hard to serve, I'm afraid few of the ladies of the Fengyang family are willing to marry him.Presumably, the teacher is going to worry about his son's marriage.

"This fish is indeed poisonous, and it's still very poisonous. There is no cure for it." After slapping Huo Yuan's hand away, Zhao Keran hugged his arm and rubbed it, "However, if the poisonous part is removed and handled carefully, it will Edible."

Toxin removal edible?

Huo Yuan frowned tightly, but he could no longer know whether the plate of fish that Chu Wenjue sent to the Prince's Mansion was processed or not.

Will the death of the crown prince and his sister have anything to do with the current Dayuan emperor?

And the fire that killed hundreds of people, burned his face, and made his right hand no longer able to use the sword as before, could it be related to Chu Wenjue?

Huo Yuan fell into memory, Zhao Keran wanted to ask him what was wrong, Rufeng brought Liu Si over.

Liu Siben was punting by the river, and Rufeng saw someone as soon as he reached the river.

Hearing that the county magistrate wanted to see him, Liu Si, who was led all the way, was very disturbed.He wondered over and over whether he had done anything bad recently, and finally determined that he had done nothing.

He even calculated that he would send the villagers across the river twice without money, and maybe he could get a knighthood medal from the county magistrate.

"Caomin has met the county magistrate." Liu Si did not know where he learned the etiquette, and his behavior was very nondescript.

Zhao Keran felt that the other party was praying to Fuwa.

"Liu Si, let me ask you, how did you know that this fish can be eaten?" Zhao Keran handed the fish that Uncle Wang Liu had been holding in front of Liu Si's eyes.

Liu Si scratched his head, "I saw Uncle Wang eat this fish before, he said he jumped up from a hole in the ice, it would make you fat if you pinched it, and it tasted delicious.

At that time, I felt that the fish was strange, and I wanted to have a bite.I asked him for it, but he didn't give it to me.Later, I never saw a fish that would become fat when squeezed, and I thought Uncle Wang was lying to me before.

I caught one by chance today, only to realize that Uncle Wang didn't lie to me. "He pointed to Uncle Wang Liu, "Uncle Liu even gave me two extra coins to buy it, saying that the fish can be eaten if it is fattened, and there will be more meat.

It's a pity that I didn't eat it twice, and let the Wang family eat it. "

Zhao Keran didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, he asked Liu Si, "Do you know that green water vegetables are not poisonous?"

Liu Si nodded. He grinned and smiled innocently, "Of course I know! After the green water vegetables were confirmed to be non-poisonous, our Hexi village also pulled them by the long river. The taste is delicious," and then he Sighing again, "It's a pity that there are no more this year, and we have to wait until next year."

"Why did you think green water vegetables were poisonous?" Zhao Keran asked.

Liu Siyi patted his thigh, "Hey, it's not because of Uncle Wang..."

!

"That's right! The green water vegetables are not poisonous, so Uncle Wang didn't die because of the green water vegetables! Then why did he get poisoned?" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Si's expression suddenly became serious, and he shrank his neck and looked at it. Around, seriously asked: "Could it be that Uncle Wang was poisoned and murdered?"

"Uncle Six, why are you crying?" Liu Si felt more and more that he had guessed right, "Master County Magistrate! We have a poisonous thief in Jingyang County!"

Uncle Wang Liu couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed forward and hit Liu Si with his fist.Also because he was old, he was bounced back a few steps, he said angrily: "Liu Sihan! My third brother got into trouble eating this fat fish!"

Before Liu Si could react, Zhao Keran said, "Though Uncle Wang ate fat fish, only Liu Si has seen it. That's why everyone thinks that green water vegetables are poisonous."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Keran said to Huo Yuan: "Brother Yuan, take someone to inform you. Anyone who catches fat fish will not be allowed to eat, and all of them will be released."

Huo Yuan nodded.

Only then did Liu Si figure out that he had escaped from Lord Hades twice.

He was so frightened that he slumped on the ground, sweating coldly.

After this incident, through Huo Yuan's propaganda, the people in Jingyang talked about Fatty Fish's discoloration.

Even though most people have never seen this fat fish, it does not prevent them from listing the fat fish poison and the red crane poison in "The Legend of Jianghu Heroes" as the second poison in the world.

And Feng Xiucai also got inspiration from it, and combined with current events, he added the plot of fat fish poisoning the house in his own script.Once when he was storytelling, after he finished "Legend of the Heroes of the Jianghu", he talked about some books he wrote, which were unexpectedly well received.

This made Feng Xiucai more determined to write the script, and many people urged it to be updated!

"Mr. Xiucai, isn't the book written by 'Misty Rain and Tenderness' still new?"

"If you ask me, I might be busy getting married and not in the mood to write."

"How do you know you're getting married, not a wife?"

"This name means "Miss Everyone", and this is a woman's play written by young ladies who have read the books. You don't understand."

"Hey! Do you understand? You understand and read for so many years, and you are still a child!"

Feng Xiucai covered his face, he would never let them know that Yanyu Tenderness was him!

On this day, Feng Xiucai returned to the Hong Mansion after finishing his book.

He sat at his desk with the fine silk cloth he had always wanted to buy but could never afford.

The weave of this cloth is tight, and the ink does not smudge or dye.

Writing with it is the dream of a scholar like him who is not of aristocratic family.

Now, with the money he earns, he can buy a lot.

The pen and ink fell down, Feng Xiucai wrote every stroke very seriously.

He is writing letters to his former classmates, telling them about his changes now.

There is also the intention of inviting them to Jingyang to develop the storytelling business together.

It is no longer enough for the teahouse to rely on him alone. Although Master Hong has given him more rest, his voice will become very uncomfortable after talking for a long time.

Apart from storytelling, he doesn't want to talk anymore on weekdays.

...

Time passed quickly, and the cantaloupe quietly retreated after Jingyang detonated a wave of melons.

Zhao Keran collected the collected seeds. With enough seeds, he can slowly realize the freedom to eat melons later.

"My lord!" Fang Zhongyuan hurried over, with joy in his voice, "The sweet potatoes in Hedong Village and the crops in the sandy land on the east side of Jingyang Mountain can all be harvested!"

Since Zhao Keran told Fang Zhongyuan the approximate harvest time, Fang Zhongyuan would go to Hedong Village to watch in his free time except teaching.

Zhao Keran was also overjoyed, and hurriedly prepared a carriage and headed to Hedong Village.

Fan Dali has recruited people and is ready to harvest.Now he is hired by Zhao Keran to farm the land.He will take care of everything in Tanaka, and he only needs to report to Zhao Keran regularly.

After a few days of busy work, I finally counted the approximate harvest quantity.

The yield of sweet potatoes in the sandy soil is similar to that of the good fields in Hedong Village, and the yield per mu is about [-] catties.

One seedling can bear five or six catties, and the larger one can weigh one catty.

The yield of corn is more than 1000 catties per mu, the yield of potatoes is more than 3000 catties per mu, the yield of corn is [-] catties per mu, and the yield of cotton is [-] catties per mu.

Zhao Keran put all of them into the repaired granary and kept them for planting in the coming year.

...

Zhao Xiaoyu, Huo An, and Da Niu squatted by the stove.

Anxiously waiting for the roasted sweet potatoes.

Zhao Keran picked a few sweet potatoes from the sandy soil and put them into the burnt stove.

Sweet potatoes in sandy soil are sweeter.

The reddish vegetation softened the sweet potato, Zhao Keran poked the sweet potato with a fire stick, and took it out when he saw that it was almost done.

While blowing his hands while it was hot, he couldn't wait to eat it quickly.

When Huo Yuan came to the kitchen to find Huo An and Zhao Xiaoyu to practice martial arts, he saw Zhao Keran throwing sweet potatoes back and forth.

His white fingertips were hot and red.

Huo Yuan stepped forward, took the sweet potato from Zhao Keran's hand, and peeled it for him.

The unique sweet smell of sweet potatoes spreads out instantly, rushing straight to the tip of the nose, and the sweet potatoes are roasted soft and golden, which makes people salivate.

"Aren't you hot?"

"Why don't you let it cool down?"

The two spoke in unison, with doubts about each other in their tone.

Huo Yuan handed the peeled sweet potatoes to Zhao Keran, and said with a straight face, "Not hot."

Zhao Keran took the sweet potato and handed it to the big girl. He selectively ignored what Huo Yuan asked him.He didn't want the other party to know at all, he was too greedy, "If it's not hot, you should also peel Xiaoyu and An'an."

Huo Yuan counted the sweet potatoes on the table and found that there was one more, so he asked Zhao Keran, "Where's yours?"

Zhao Keran nodded, "I want mine too."
