Chapter 34: Finalize
Chapter 34 finalized
This is the truth, Zhao Liya repeatedly said that enough is enough, so everyone didn't continue to send it.
Zhao Liya even felt a little guilty: Did you play too much?
However, in order to cut off the thoughts that a very few people shouldn't have, no matter whether they want to or not, she has to do the same!
Back 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 actually had some worries in his heart, fearing that he would lose all his money in the end.
However, you can’t just do nothing.
At present, it seems that this matter is still reliable, and it is worth a try.
Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter to sit and eat, and achieve nothing. If the Gu family bullied them, they would really have no power to fight back.
He should trust his daughter.
It was decided to go to Zaihu Village together tomorrow, so Zhao Liya took those sweet potato vines to plant in the vegetable field.
The vegetable fields of their family are all full, and they can only be planted in every corner.
Qu Yutao saw it and went to help. After a while, Aunt Li and Widow Qu also came.
Aunt Li Shiyi recognized it at a glance, "Hey, isn't this a ground fruit seedling? Can it be planted like this? It can really live like this!"
Zhao Liya smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is sweet potato, it's a good thing."
She has popularized a lot of ciphers, and she is happy to promote sweet potatoes.
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a famine, this is a good thing that can save your life.
Aunt Li Shiyi was shocked when she heard it, "We eat it as a vegetable, as a supplementary food, and feed it to chickens, ducks, pigs and so on. I didn't expect there to be so many ways to eat it. Don't worry. Said, I thought about it carefully, it seems that the output of this thing is really quite large, and it is particularly not picky!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Yes, of course I won't deceive you! Our vegetable garden is endless, auntie, is there any place in your vegetable garden where we can grow some?"
Otherwise, she would randomly plant them in the open space outside the backyard door, under the fruit trees, etc. Anyway, she was reluctant to waste them.
Try to plant all of them. When you harvest, you can harvest a lot. In winter, you can cook sweet potato soup, fry sweet potato chips, eat roasted sweet potatoes, dry sweet potatoes and slice them for hot pot. How beautiful!
She also plans to open more and more varieties next year.
When Widow Qu heard such a good thing, she wanted to see if the vegetable garden could not grow enough to ask for some, how could she not be unhappy to hear Zhao Liya say that? Nodding and laughing again and again, he said, "My family has two plots of radishes that can be harvested. Why don't we just harvest them and plant these sweet potato vines. We just have to clear the land tomorrow so we can plant it tomorrow, can we wait until tomorrow?"
Zhao Liya nodded: "Of course."
Widow Qu Yixi: "Hey, that's good, that's good!"
The radishes in the field can just be pulled out to dry the radishes, and the couple will be able to re-plow the field tomorrow 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 kept them as seeds.
Ripe tomatoes can be eaten as fruits. Wash them and let everyone taste them. Everyone likes the sweet and sour taste.
The two children loved each other very much, praised "It's delicious!", and looked at Zhao Liya with admiration: "Sister is amazing!"
Zhao Liya smiled, Lingnan doesn't have much else, isn't there a lot of delicious fruits?
The lychees in the yard will mature in half a month. At that time, they are picked and eaten now. The meat is delicate, white and moist, sweet and juicy.
There are also papayas. She planted four of them in the yard, and the seedlings they planted were very large. All of them survived, blossomed and bear fruit, and the natural ripe papayas were as sweet and refreshing.
Longan, mango, jujube, carambola, orange, grapefruit, banana, yellow peach, sand pear, persimmon and other fruits are not available for home-grown fruits this year, but they can be found everywhere in Lingnan. Why not eat the freshest?
Destined to be a real treat!
Zhao Liya picked out the hard tomatoes and put them aside. It should be no problem to store them in a cool place for four or five days. For the other small parts to cook, most of them can simply boil tomato sauce tomorrow.
There is a small porcelain jar at home. Zhao Liya originally planned to use it to pickle some pickles, but now it can just hold tomato sauce.
At night, Zhao Liya used tomatoes to make a tomato and egg dish, a pot of tomato sauerkraut and sour soup with miscellaneous fish, and a stir-fried chili tomato and green beans.
She is not very good at cooking, but the home-cooked dishes are still good, and with the help of Qu Yutao and Aunt Li Shishi, she actually brought a few dishes that were delicious and delicious.
Everyone tasted it, but they all praised it as delicious.
Tomato and egg soup bibimbap, the two little guys can eat a big bowl of rice with relish.
The sauerkraut fish is also more delicious because of the addition of tomato seasoning.
Aunt Li Shiyi was particularly shocked. Many people in Zaihu Village planted a few of this sour fruit, but they were usually eaten raw, and almost no one used it for cooking.
I didn't expect this dish to be more delicious than eating it raw.
"Hey, I'm going to go back and tell them, I'm sure to scare them! If you are smart or you are smart, we can't think of this anymore!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "I will go there tomorrow, and I will also tell them that such a delicious thing should not be wasted!"
"Haha, that's right!"
Waiting for the tomato seeds to dry, can we still plant some in time? Anyway, the climate here is warm and can grow.
The next morning, Uncle Ruan Gui, father and son, and Li Guangqing came again in a bullock cart, and came to pick them up with smiles.
I'm embarrassed to make Zhao Liya's family look so good.
This must be done!
Zhao Xiang still has the majestic temperament of Yipin Shangshu. Even if he is wearing a coarse cloth green shirt, the temperament and demeanor revealed by the inner show will still be revealed unconsciously when he gestures. In addition, the identities of the number one scholar and the Minister of Rites have their own halo Everyone in Zaihu Village looked at him with more respect.
Zhao Xiang nodded, this matter is considered to be completely settled!
Zhao Liya was impatient, and everyone in Zaihu Village was equally impatient, so that afternoon, Zaihu Village was taking his son to go out in person, and accompanied Hu Ling to the county government to buy land.
Finally, I bought 600 mu, and Zaihu Village was helping to negotiate the price. One mu of land only cost 1,080 taels of silver, and 600 mu of land cost only 1,080 taels, a full saving of 122 taels.
The one hundred and twenty taels of silver was saved by Lizheng, so Zhao Liya decided to give him ten taels, the two patriarchs each gave five taels, and the five elders each gave three taels.
Uncle Ruan Gui’s family also gave away three taels.
All are happy.
Zhao Liya was also very happy. In addition to saving dozens of taels of silver, she even found several good things such as potatoes, snow peas, and carrots in Zaihu Village. She was so unhappy!
Potatoes, that’s even better than sweet potatoes!
She ordered a lot of potatoes, and also spread the word to everyone.
When they went back, everyone picked a lot of peas and carrots and gave them to her.
