This is the truth. Zhao Liya repeatedly expressed that enough was enough, so everyone stopped sending more.
Zhao Liya even felt a little guilty: Did she go too far?
However, in order to cut off the thoughts that a very few people should have, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she must do this!
After returning home, Zhao Liya couldn't wait to share the good news with her father: everything went well today!
Zhao Xiang was also very happy.
Although, he was actually worried deep down, fearing that he would lose all his money in the end.
However, you can't do nothing.
At present, it seems that this thing is quite reliable and worth giving a try.
Otherwise, if the Gu family is bullying someone, they will really have no power to fight back.
He should trust his daughter.
After deciding to go to Zaihu Village together tomorrow, Zhao Liya took the sweet potato vines and planted them in the vegetable field.
Their vegetable plots are all covered with vegetables, and they can only be planted in every corner.
Qu Yutao saw it and went to help. After a while, Aunt Li Shiyi and Widow Qu also came.
Aunt Li Shiyi recognized it at a glance, "Hey, isn't this a ground fruit seedling? Can it be grown like this? It can really survive!"
Zhao Liya smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is called sweet potato, and it's a good thing..."
She has popularized a lot of popular science with her smooth talk, and she is very happy to promote sweet potatoes.
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a bad year, this is a good thing that can save your life.
Aunt Li Shiyi was shocked when she heard this, "We just eat it as vegetables and supplementary food. If there is too much, we feed it to chickens, ducks, pigs and so on. I didn't expect that there are so many ways to eat it. What else?
Say, I thought about it carefully, and it seems that the output of this thing is really large, and it is very non-selective!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Yeah, of course I won't lie to you! We have endless planting in our vegetable garden. Auntie, do you have room in your vegetable garden to plant some?"
Otherwise, she would just plant it in the open space outside the backyard door, under the fruit trees, etc., since she couldn't bear to waste it anyway.
Try to plant them all, and you will get a lot when you harvest them. In the winter, you can cook sweet potato soup, fry sweet potato slices, eat roasted sweet potatoes, dry them, and slice them for hot pot. How beautiful!
She also plans to open more fields and plant more crops next year.
When Widow Qu heard about such a good thing, she wanted to take a look at the vegetable garden and beg for some if there was not enough to plant. How could she not be happy when Zhao Liya said that? She nodded and said with a smile: "My family has two pieces of land.
We can harvest the radishes, so why not plant some sweet potato vines after harvesting them? We just have to clear the ground tomorrow so we can plant them, can we wait until tomorrow?"
Zhao Liya nodded: "Of course."
Widow Qu was overjoyed: "Hey, that's great, that's great!"
The radishes in the ground are just ready to be pulled out and dried. Tomorrow the couple can plow the ground again and plant the sweet potatoes.
There was also a basket of tomatoes. Zhao Liya picked two ripe ones, cut them open, took out the seeds, and put them on a gauze cloth to dry and keep them as seeds.
Ripe tomatoes can be eaten as fruit. Wash them clean and let everyone taste them. Everyone likes the sweet and sour taste.
The two children were extremely loving, praising "It's delicious!" and looking at Zhao Liya with admiration: "Sister is so amazing!"
Zhao Liya smiled, "There isn't much else in Lingnan, but aren't there a lot of delicious fruits?"
The lychees in the yard will be mature in another half month. You can pick them now and eat them now. The meat will be delicate, white and shiny, sweet and juicy, which is called delicious.
There were also papayas. She planted four of them in the yard. The seedlings were huge. All of them survived, blossomed and bore fruit. They were as sweet and refreshing as natural ripe papayas.
Although longans, mangoes, jujubes, star fruits, oranges, grapefruits, bananas, yellow peaches, sand pears, persimmons and other fruits cannot be eaten at home this year, they can be found everywhere in Lingnan, so why worry about not eating the freshest ones?
You are sure to be in for a treat!
Zhao Liya picked out the tomatoes with better hardness and put them in separate places. It should be fine to store them in a cool place for four or five days. For the other small portions to cook, most of them can just be cooked into tomato sauce tomorrow.
There is a small porcelain jar at home. Zhao Liya originally planned to use it to pickle some kimchi, but now it can be used to hold ketchup.
In the evening, Zhao Liya used tomatoes to make a dish of tomato eggs, a pot of fish mixed with tomato and sauerkraut soup, and a dish of stir-fried pepper, tomatoes and beans.
She is not very good at cooking, but she can still cook home-cooked meals, and with the help of Qu Yutao and Aunt Li Shiyi, she actually served several delicious dishes with full flavor.
Everyone tasted it, but not everyone praised it as delicious.
Tomato and egg soup mixed with rice, the two little guys ate a big bowl of rice with relish.
The pickled fish also becomes more delicious because of the addition of tomato seasoning.
Aunt Li Shiyi was particularly shocked. Many families in Zaihu Village grew several trees of this sour fruit, but they were usually eaten raw and almost no one used them for cooking.
I didn’t expect that cooking it would be more delicious than eating it raw.
"Hey, I'm going back and telling them, I'm sure it will shock them! I think you are smarter, we will never think of this again!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "If we go over tomorrow, I will also tell them that such delicious food cannot be wasted!"
"Haha, that's not true!"
After the tomato seeds are dried, you can still plant some in time, right? Anyway, the climate here is warm and they can grow.
The next morning, Uncle Ruan Gui, his son, and Li Guangqing drove the bullock cart and came to pick them up with smiling faces.
It made Zhao Liya's family very embarrassed.
This must be done!
The majestic temperament of Zhao Xiang, a first-grade minister, is still there. Even if he is wearing a coarse blue shirt, the temperament and bearing of his inner beauty are still unconsciously revealed in his movements. With the number one scholar, his status as a minister of the Ministry of Rites has its own halo.
, everyone in Zaihu Village looked at him with more and more respect.
Zhao Xiang nodded, and the matter was finally settled!
Zhao Liya was anxious, and everyone in Zaihu Village was equally anxious, so that afternoon, Zaihu Village took their son to go out in person and accompanied Hu Ling to the county government to buy land.
In the end, I bought 600 acres. Zaihu Village was helping to negotiate the price. One acre of land only cost one tael and eighty taels. The six hundred acres of land only cost one thousand and eighty taels, saving a full one hundred and twenty taels.
The one hundred and twenty taels of silver were saved by Li Zheng, so Zhao Liya took the initiative and gave him 12 taels. The two clan leaders each gave five taels, and the five clan elders each gave three taels.
Uncle Ruan Gui's family also gave three taels as gifts.
Everyone is happy.
Zhao Liya was also very happy. In addition to saving dozens of taels of silver, she also found potatoes, snow peas, carrots and many other good things in Zaihu Village. She was so happy!
Potatoes, they are better than sweet potatoes!
She ordered a lot of potatoes and told everyone about them casually.
When we went back, we all picked a lot of snow peas and pulled out a lot of carrots and gave them to her.
