"Here, I made a few glasses of peach juice and watermelon juice. Which one you like, just pick it yourself." Jiang Hexi made seven or eight glasses of iced juice in one go and arranged them in a row, which immediately attracted people's index fingers.
Jiang Heyun took action directly and took the lead to grab a glass of watermelon juice and took a big sip. A refreshing feeling of refreshingness immediately spread throughout his body. Jiang Heyun's mouth was so comfortable that he almost raised his tail.
"It tastes good!" Jiang Hexuan picked up a glass of peach juice and took a sip. His eyes lit up and he smiled crookedly.
"Girl, this juice is really delicious. If you get it in a restaurant, you will definitely make a lot of money." Xing Luo took a sip of watermelon juice, couldn't help but take another sip, and was full of praise.
"No, this is my first serving of juice. I'll make ice cream for you later. I'm sure your mouth will water with greed!" Jiang Hexi was proud as she thought of the ice cream she had learned to make at home.
Great, it won't come in handy now!
"Okay! Sister, do it quickly! I want to eat!" Jiang Heyun urged impatiently.
"Little greedy cat, I'll do it right away, but you and Ah Xuan can't drink too much juice, you can only have one cup, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat ice cream later!" Jiang Hexi thought of the child's weak stomach and looked at him with warning as he was about to reach out.
Jiang Heyun getting peach juice.
When Jiang Heyun saw that his goal was not achieved, he reluctantly retracted his chubby little hands and pouted, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Brother, if you want to drink, just take a sip of my juice!" Jiang Hexuan couldn't bear to look at his brother's pitiful appearance and hurriedly handed over the juice in his hand.
Hearing this, Jiang Heyun was overjoyed, but when he thought of something, he first glanced at Jiang Hexi cautiously, until he saw her acquiescence in pretending not to notice, then he took the peach juice with a smile, took a small sip, and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
Sewn!
"Thank you, Ah Xuan. Ah Xuan wants to try mine too." Jiang Heyun didn't forget to hand his watermelon juice to Jiang Hexuan, looking at his sweet little brother with a smile.
"It tastes good, thank you brother!" Jiang Hexuan took a sip and couldn't help but gestured with his thumbs in admiration.
On the other side, Jiang Hexi and Xing Luo were busy making ice cream and had no time to care about the warmth between the two children.
"Girl, I'm back to help you collect corn and potatoes!" Li Tieniu walked into the kitchen, followed by Chen Shuanzi.
"Girl, I'm here to help too!" Chen Shuanzi quickly answered.
Jiang Hexi looked up and saw two and a half young men standing at the door stupidly. She hurriedly called them over and said with a smile: "Come on, come and try my new iced juice and ice cream."
"This red juice is watermelon juice, and this light pink one is peach juice. You can take whichever you like. This ice cream is all watermelon flavored. You guys have to try it." Jiang Hexi explained patiently.
"It tastes great! This juice ice is so cold that I don't feel hot anymore!" Chen Shuanzi immediately immersed himself in the ocean of ice cold juice.
Li Tieniu took a sip of watermelon juice and was amazed, but then he thought of something and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Girl, I just came back from the restaurant today. Didn't you ask me to pay attention to the case a few days ago? I listen.
The shopkeeper said that Fang Daya’s case is closed.”
Seeing Jiang Hexi's interest, Li Tieniu hurriedly said: "It turns out that He and Zhang Xiaochun really collaborated to kill Fang Daya's father, just to murder their family property."
"Now, both He and Zhang Xiaochun have been sentenced to death, and the county magistrate has said that the debts owed by Fang Daya's family can be repaid later, so they don't have to worry about being sold to a brothel, but
Now the two sisters Fang Daya have almost no one to rely on." Speaking of this, Li Tieniu sighed sympathetically and was filled with emotion.
Jiang Hexi pondered for a moment and then said: "Go and ask Fang Daya if she wants to come to our restaurant to be a waitress. Her sister can also come with her. You tell her that she can live in our restaurant. Then you can let her
Shopkeeper Wang will arrange a room for them."
"That's great! Thank you girl!" Li Tieniu was very excited and hurriedly bowed to Jiang Hexi to thank him.
"What are you doing? Fang Daya is a good girl, and even a good daughter! I admire her. It would be an honor for our restaurant if she can come to work in our restaurant." Jiang Hexi smiled and shook her head, her expression relaxed.
"Then I'll tell her when the time comes, and she will definitely agree!" Li Tieniu's excited voice sounded.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became more and more joyful.
It wasn't until the sun gradually set in the west that Jiang Hexi and others slowly walked to the farmland to work.
Looking at the plump corns, the emerald green potato fields, and the excellently growing sweet potatoes, the corners of Jiang Hexi's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Girl, how are we going to harvest these things? I've never seen these things before." Chen Shuanzi scratched his head, looking at the strange-looking crops in his eyes, he simply couldn't do anything.
Jiang Hexi smiled and explained: "Don't worry about the sweet potatoes over there. It's not time to harvest them yet. These potatoes are very precious now. Dig carefully with a hoe and don't damage them. I still hope to use them for breeding."
!”
"As for the tall corn, just peel it off. Then chop the corn stalks and dry them for firewood!" Jiang Hexi guided several people carefully while peeling the corn.
"By the way, leave me a dozen corns to peel. I'll invite General Huo and Duke Wen to come over and entertain them." Jiang Hexi added.
A few people nodded thoughtfully and began to work immediately.
Since the land was small and there were many people working on it, the potatoes and corn were harvested in about an hour.
"Girl, so many potatoes have been harvested from such a small piece of land!" Li Tieniu exclaimed as he looked at the large pile of plump potatoes in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Of course, these potatoes are good stuff. One acre can yield about twenty-five to forty-two stones. If taken care of properly, it can even reach about sixty-seven stones!" Jiang Hexi mentally calculated the ratio between kilograms and stones.
The measurement unit of time, proudly raised his chin and looked at the shocked people.
"Girl, if the whole of Dasheng grows these grains, then we in Dasheng will not starve to death!" Xing Luo was so excited that his whole body trembled and he stared at Jiang Hexi with a red face.
Jiang Hexi smiled and nodded, thinking, isn't this true? In this time and space with backward agricultural technology, when potatoes and sweet potatoes come out, who can compete with them?
"Okay, let's keep a low profile and transport these back home quickly. Let's talk about anything later!" Jiang Hexi reminded him in a low voice when he saw the villagers wandering around who were looking curiously at them from a distance.
She didn't want to expose this matter so quickly. After all, although most people were not working in the fields now, if someone knew that she had such good things, it would not cause looting and might even attract thieves.
!
For the sake of safety, she had better give this thing to Huo Jingchen and the others!
"Okay, let's go back quickly!" Chen Shuanzi agreed immediately.
The four of them then walked secretly toward Jiang's house. Fortunately, most of them were working in the workshop, so they didn't meet anyone along the way.
As soon as he got home, Xing Luo couldn't help but said: "Girl, how about I fly a pigeon and pass a message to the general right now?"
"Okay, go ahead!" Jiang Hexi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to be so anxious, but after thinking about it, he understood her mood and nodded.
Unexpectedly, when dusk fell, Huo Jingchen and the others rushed over!
"Xi'er, is what Xing Luo said in the letter true?" Huo Jingchen asked eagerly as soon as he entered the door.
"Of course, come and take a look, these are the potatoes I took back today." Jiang Hexi said, pointing to the potatoes piled together in the yard.
"I didn't get many seeds. I could only plant half an acre of potatoes, but we also harvested 15 tons of potatoes. This was because it was our first time planting and we didn't have a good grasp of the soil and climate. If we have mature experience,
Yes, it’s more than that!”
Huo Jingchen became more and more excited. He grabbed Jiang Hexi's arm and said hurriedly: "What's the yield per mu of other crops you grow?"
Jiang Hexi struggled for a moment and glanced at the wrinkled sleeves, but she didn't understand what she meant.
"Okay, it's okay. Just calm down and let Miss Jiang speak slowly. It will be bad if this news gets out." Wen Jianzhou, who had followed to watch the excitement, stood up and pointed to the outside of the yard, giving a silent reminder.
Huo Jingchen immediately let go of his hands and smiled at Jiang Hexi, the tips of his ears turning red.
"It's okay. You follow me into the house first, and we'll talk slowly." Jiang Hexi waved her hand nonchalantly, motioning for a few people to follow her.
After sitting down, Jiang Hexi went to the kitchen and brought them several glasses of iced juice and placed them in front of them.
"Try it, this is my new iced juice."
"It tastes great. Where did you get so many ice cubes?" Wen Jianzhou took a sip and then looked at Jiang Hexi curiously.
Jiang Hexi blinked at him mysteriously, pretending to be profound and said: "I'll tell you later, let's discuss more important things now."
Hearing this, Huo Jingchen and Wen Jianzhou both sat upright, as if they were listening attentively.
Jiang Hexi slowly said: "This potato, if the weather permits, can yield about twenty-five to forty-two stones per acre. If taken care of properly, it can even reach about sixty-seven stones!"
"Moreover, these potatoes can usually be planted once or twice a year. If the weather permits, you can even plant three or four crops a year!"
"Corn is a little worse, with an yield of about fifteen dan per mu."
"Sweet potatoes are even more powerful. Normally cultivated sweet potatoes can yield about 50 dan per mu, and with careful cultivation, the yield can reach more than 80 dan!"
"Moreover, this sweet potato doesn't have to be picky about the place. It can be grown almost anywhere. It is also particularly drought-resistant. If we had this during famine years, it could save many people's lives!"
"Anyway, these three crops are relatively drought-tolerant and are very suitable for Jingzhou where the land is relatively poor and droughts often occur."
