If you don't work hard to farm the fields, you will inherit the throne with the prince.

Chapter 218 The Pearl Comes to Beijing
Tai Tu was fine, he had never been hungry in his life, but Meng Fu was different. Meng Fu knew that food and grass were very important in war.

If the supply of food and grass is not enough, hundreds of thousands of troops will have to go hungry. Back then, when the Holy Majesty was outside, it was also because the Holy Majesty was dispatching the food and grass that there was no problem of insufficient food and grass supply.

Looking at the huge sweet potatoes, Meng Fu couldn't help but think of a mountain village that she passed by when she led a small team on an expedition.

The people in the mountain village were sallow and emaciated from hunger. Even so, they cooked them a delicious meal with the little food they had.

For ordinary people, what they look forward to most is that there will be no war, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment.

As a farmer, whether the harvest is good or not depends on the sky. If the weather is good, the harvest may be better.

In the event of drought, or severe weather such as heavy rain, the grain in the crop field may also fail to harvest.

If there is no harvest, then the common people will go hungry...

Not to mention taxes, even people will not be able to survive the next year's grain harvest.

All the sweet potatoes in the ground were dug out.

When digging sweet potatoes with a hoe, even if you are careful, you will inevitably break some.

Xie Mingzhu had someone pick out the cut sweet potatoes.

"Mingzhu, what are you going to do with these cut sweet potatoes?"

Xie Mingzhu looked at Taifu's curious appearance, and said in a warm voice: "Sweet potatoes are all treasures. You can eat them raw or cooked, and you can even make dried sweet potatoes as dry food on the road. However, I will eat them tonight Prepare to use these sweet potatoes to make a sweet potato ball for us to try."

Making sweet potato balls is actually not difficult at all.

Steam fresh sweet potatoes, mash them into mud, add flour appropriately, knead them into small balls, and fry them slowly in an oil pan.

These fried meatballs are crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, and have an excellent taste.

Taifu tasted one, and couldn't help but whispered: "It's quite delicious! It's not difficult to make, but it's a little oily."

It is also because this is the Pearl Academy, not short of money, and Xie Mingzhu is not the kind of person who is stingy with oil, so she makes this kind of fried small balls to eat.

If it is an ordinary family, it must be reluctant.

"Indeed, the common people don't have much money now. When they have money in the future, they can do it by themselves."

Xie Mingzhu put the dug sweet potatoes into the ashes in the cooking stove.

The temperature of the plant ash will slowly cook the sweet potatoes, and the cooked sweet potatoes are even sweeter and softer.

The Taifu tasted half of it, and said pleasantly: "Mingzhu, this method is quite simple."

Xie Mingzhu smiled and said: "Yes, I also think it's simple. When there are more sweet potatoes planted in the future, everyone can eat like this. Planting sweet potatoes is not like farming. You will pick some from the field. Sweet potatoes are easy to grow and have high yields. convenient."

"Okay, let's try then."

The sweet potatoes are piled up into a hill, if they are placed in the open air, it will not work.

Fortunately, the original Pearl Academy originally had a cellar, and Xie Mingzhu put some of the sweet potatoes into the cellar.

Of course, the other part, Xie Mingzhu, needs to be brought to the capital to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the capital.

Although there are many dignitaries in the capital, there will be more ordinary people.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries are rich, so they naturally know how to stockpile food, but for ordinary people, they can't even eat enough for themselves, so where is there any chance to stockpile food?
Sweet potatoes grow into hemp woven pockets.

Some of the newly picked autumn pears became everyone's fruit, and the other part was made into canned pears by Xie Mingzhu.

The method of canning pears is not complicated. The autumn pears are peeled and cored, put rock sugar on them, and steamed in a steamer until they are fully cooked. They don’t need to be steamed too soft before they can be put into jars.

Although Uncle Yu made glass, he hadn't learned how to make glass jars yet, so Xie Mingzhu could only temporarily use clay pots as glass jars.

She sealed the jar with a clean gauze.

Then plug it with a piece of wood of a suitable size. In order to prevent air from entering, Xie Mingzhu deliberately sealed the mouth of the jar with yellow mud.

After finishing this series of things, Xie Mingzhu went to her vegetable greenhouse again.

The weather has turned cooler.

The plants that were originally planted have reached the season of flowering and fruiting.

If the weather is too cold, it will affect the fruit setting. Fortunately, the roof has been covered with a grass shed before, and other melons and fruits such as peppers are ripe!

It can be said that Xie Mingzhu's vegetable greenhouse has completely grown 80.00% of modern vegetables.

Xie Mingzhu picked some fresh fruits and vegetables, put them into baskets, and reminded Xie Xiyue repeatedly.

"Xiyue, pay attention to the weather. These vegetables are afraid of freezing. If they are damaged by freezing, they will not grow again." Xie Mingzhu handed over the various precautions written in advance to Xie Xiyue, "Sweet potatoes and other vegetables I have sent you all the planting methods, so you can plant well."

"it is good."

After finishing all the chores of the Pearl Academy, Xie Mingzhu, Zhao Shi, Liu Guizhi and Xie Zhiqin and Xie Zhiqi set foot on the road to the capital.

Of course, there is also Tai Tuo in the same company.

Xie Mingzhu hesitated for a while, whether to go to the capital first, or to go to Shu County first, and wait for Qin Che and the others to come together.

But she thought about it in a blink of an eye, she should go to the capital first, and make proper arrangements for Aunt Yu's affairs first.

After Qin Che and the others come to the capital, there will be a place to stay.

Going to the capital, Xie Mingzhu and his party rode in a carriage.

The reason why he didn't drive a pickup truck was also because Xie Mingzhu didn't know whether the road on this road was suitable?
Because pulling all kinds of things, a carriage is not enough.

Xie Mingzhu and his party had a dozen or so carriages, and the front and rear carriages were filled with people who protected them. The rest of the carriages were either filled with people such as Mrs. Zhao, or they were loaded with things that could be taken to the capital.

Mrs. Zhao and Liu Guizhi sat in a carriage with Xie Zhiqin and Xie Zhiqi.

The two little girls were very excited at first, but gradually, they couldn't sit still.

"Mother, why doesn't little aunt drive a truck!?" Xie Zhiqin asked.

Liu Guizhi hesitated and said, "The road here is not very good."

"If it's not good, fix it!"

Xie Zhiqin's words made sense and said: "The roads in Xiejia Village were not good before? If they are repaired, they will be fixed!"

Once repaired, you can drive an electric pickup truck!

Xie Zhiqin's words made Liu Guizhi speechless. Even though she was an ignorant village woman, she knew that if all the roads could be repaired, it would not be up to Xie Mingzhu alone.

"We'll talk about road construction later."

Xie Zhiqin pouted and said sullenly, "I like riding in trucks."

The truck is fast and comfortable.

Unlike this carriage, it is slow and uncomfortable.

There is also Taifu who has the same idea.
