Chapter 144 The potatoes are also ripe

Imperial Envoy Master Gu was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face. Thinking of what Village Chief Li said last night, he was indeed doubtful at that time, "I don't believe it. I will only believe it if I see it with my own eyes."

Therefore, early in the morning, he rode over.

"In this case, Mr. Gu, you are not very convincing if you go to the capital empty-handed like this." Liu Pan'er suggested that she also hopes to promote sweet potatoes so that more people can have enough to eat, which is equivalent to the number of people she has saved.

If you have more, you will get more merit, the space will become larger, and there will be more things inside.

Helping the Imperial Envoy Master Gu is helping yourself. This is a win-win result. Why not do it?

When she was in her mother's position, Liu Pan'er felt that the imperial envoy, Mr. Gu, was quite reliable!

Imperial Envoy Master Gu smiled and nodded, feeling that Liu Pan'er's words made sense, "You are right, does Mrs. Liu have any good ideas?"

"Since everyone only believes what they see with their eyes, Mr. Gu put these sweet potatoes with their roots and soil in baskets and brought them to the capital together. The sweet potatoes growing on the roots of the sweet potato seedlings can prove that a sweet potato can weigh an average of ten kilograms.

There are about 700 sweet potato seedlings in one acre of land. Anyone who knows arithmetic can calculate the yield of one acre of land."

After hearing Liu Pan'er's suggestion, the imperial envoy Gu thought this method was very good. Although it was not as fast as riding a horse alone, it was more convincing. By traveling day and night, he should be able to reach the capital in seven days.

"Mrs. Liu, your method is very good, so I'll leave it to you." Imperial Envoy Master Gu thanked him. Mrs. Liu is very thoughtful.

When this matter is over, he will definitely thank Mrs. Liu.

Liu Pan'er chuckled and pointed to the six remaining sweet potato seedlings still in the soil. "Master Gu cares about the common people, so I just tried my best. I selected six and will dig them up later."

Imperial Envoy Master Gu thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Liu, please have someone prepare it now. A carriage will arrive later. Load it up and go directly to the capital. After I finish counting the output of this acre of land, I will ride back to the county seat."

."

Liu Pan'er agreed, "Yes, Master Gu, I will go to the village to find new baskets and oilcloths."

"Thank you." Imperial Envoy Master Gu said politely, feeling excited in his heart.

Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao went to Carpenter Li's house in the village. His house had large ready-made baskets. Liu Pan'er asked for ten of them, and then brought some of the oilcloth from home to spread in the baskets to retain the soil.

In this way, the sweet potato seedlings might still be alive when transported to the capital!

When Liu Pan'er got the basket back, she began to dig up the sweet potatoes with her son carefully, starting from the outside, like digging ginseng, and then bit by bit cleaning up the soil around the sweet potatoes, leaving only the complete roots and stems of the sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato seedlings above.

The basket had already been filled with soil beforehand, and then Liu Pan'er carefully carried the sweet potato seedlings, while Li Dabao held the rhizome below. The mother and son worked together in perfect harmony. There was soil dug out from the ground inside, and they planted a complete sweet potato plant.

In the basket.

Liu Pan'er also carefully coiled the sweet potato seedlings on the basket in a clockwise direction and sprinkled a little water.

When the imperial envoy Master Gu saw Liu Pan'er being so careful, he praised Liu Pan'er even more in his heart.

No wonder others didn't discover sweet potatoes on the way to escape, but Mrs. Liu could. Others didn't discover the power of golden leaves, but she did. She also made a simple and effective golden leaf soil, which made the bandits abandon their helmets.

A, ghosts cry and wolves howl.

If this were a man, he would definitely be able to do great things.

As a woman, there are always many restrictions.

One morning, Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao did this. They put six complete sweet potato rhizomes and sweet potato seedlings in six baskets.

The imperial envoy Master Gu walked around and asked people to notify the local county magistrate to come. When the time comes, the local magistrate Liu, as the magistrate, will also report to him and give him evidence.

When the imperial envoy Master Gu walked to the potato field, he was very curious and asked Liu Pan'er: "Ms. Liu, what is this?"

Liu Paner replied respectfully: "This is a potato, which is also a fruit and a root. It is floury and not sweet. It can be eaten steamed or stir-fried."

Imperial Envoy Master Gu saw that some branches and leaves had turned yellow, "Ms. Liu, is this mature? Can you dig it out and take a look?"

Liu Pan'er nodded and called to Li Dabao, "Dabao, let's dig potatoes and see how they grow."

Fortunately, the potatoes are also ripe.

Liu Pan'er's eyes lit up, her eyebrows curved, and she looked at the imperial envoy Gu with a smile, "I was just digging sweet potatoes, but I forgot that the potatoes at home are about to be harvested. This is my first time planting, so I have no experience. There are two acres here.

Let’s dig up an acre of potatoes and show them to Mr. Gu.”

When the people in the village heard that the imperial envoy Master Gu was coming, people came to help one after another. Even the third widow heard that the imperial envoy had a reward today and urged her daughter-in-law to come and help with shovels.

With these people joining in, Liu Paner feels much more relaxed.

She and Li Dabao continued to carefully dig potatoes and put them in baskets. Others did not know the yield of potatoes, but Liu Paner knew that the yield of potatoes was not lower than that of sweet potatoes.

When Mr. Gu saw that a dozen large and small round potatoes could grow out of each potato plant, he quickly squatted down and took a closer look.

Imperial Envoy Master Gu held a palm-sized potato in his hand and weighed it in his hand, "Ms. Liu, the yield of this thing is not low!"

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "It should be not low, but we have to dig out an acre of land to know the exact amount. Mr. Gu, there are so many people helping in the field. I will go home to cook and entertain Mr. Gu."

Imperial Envoy Master Gu thought of the meal he had at Liu Pan'er's house last time. Although it was simple, it was not ordinary and tasted very good. He readily agreed, "Thank you, Mrs. Liu."

Before leaving, Liu Pan'er told Li Dabao, "Dabao, you are the eldest son of our family. If you stay with Mr. Gu, if you have anything, you can go home and ask me, or ask the village chief's grandma."

Li Dabao puffed up his chest and said, "Mom, don't worry, I have grown up and can start a family."

Liu Paner smiled brightly and patted Li Dabao on the head, "Okay, you are the man of our family, you are very powerful!"

Hearing his mother's praise, Li Dabao became more confident.

Before leaving, Liu Pan'er told Zhou Cuihua, "Auntie, I'm going home to cook. Please take a look at what's going on in the fields."

Zhou Cuihua agreed, "From the Yuan Qing family, you can go back and leave the fields to me. There are so many high-yielding crops in our fields, and now Mr. Gu wants to send them to the capital. Will our Lijia Village become famous in the capital?"

"

Liu Pan'er smiled and nodded, "Auntie is right."

Liu Pan'er carried a basket and picked some peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, long beans, and freshly dug potatoes. She also picked up seven or eight of them, and she could also cook them.
