Chapter 464

"Brother Ah Zhen, is it delicious?"

Xiao Fuyuan and Ah Zhen nestled in front of the stove, took out the baked sweet potatoes, peeled them and broke them in half, and they held them and ate them

The rich and rich aroma fills the lips and teeth.

This is the taste of roasted sweet potatoes, which she has been missing.

"good."

Although Ah Zhen had no shortage of delicacies from mountains and seas since she was a child, it was the first time for her to eat roasted sweet potatoes, which seemed very novel.

He Shun and Liu Yishou stood at the door of the kitchen, looking happily at the two children who baked sweet potatoes by themselves. The ashes from the stove were smeared on the two little faces, like little cats.

Although his hands and face were dirty, his little master was visibly happy.

"My third brother brought this from Nanyang." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"Is there any more?" Ah Zhen asked.

"There's only this one, and my elder brother will plant the rest." Xiao Fuyuan said while eating.

"Forget it." Ah Zhen also took a bite, the soft taste must have been liked by the Queen Mother.

Some time ago, someone from the palace said that the queen mother was ill again.

He wanted to give this fresh food to the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother loved him since she was a child. During the days when he was in Shenshu Village, the Queen Mother missed him and protected him every day.

Otherwise, he wouldn't beg for it like Xiao Fuyuan.

"Brother Ah Zhen, do you want to give it to your father?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

After Ah Zhen's father came, Ah Zhen became obviously happier.

"I want to give my grandmother a taste." Ah Zhen said.

Xiao Fuyuan thought about it, and there are more than a dozen sweet potatoes at home, so it is not impossible to give it to the queen mother and her elders, and the eldest brother can grow successfully without one sweet potato.

Besides, the queen mother is mother's aunt, and someone sent her a gift during the Spring Festival.

She should treat it as a courtesy.

"Okay, I'll ask elder brother to give you one." Xiao Fuyuan said.

Ah Zhen smiled.

Xiao Fuyuan took Ah Zhen to get sweet potatoes at home, and He Shun followed.

Bai Dazhuang put a box of sweet potatoes in the storage room and ventilated carefully, lest it would be broken if he was not careful.

You must know that this is an inconspicuous plant to others, but it is an incomparably precious seed to Bai Dazhuang.

After putting the sweet potatoes away, he touched them carefully.

Although spring has begun, the weather is still cold, and the ice and snow in the ground have just begun to melt, so there is no way to breed.

As Bai Dazhuang, who was able to pick up a hoe and plan food in the ground, he has a fanatical interest in growing crops.

He is very familiar with raising seedlings and breeding, but facing the unfamiliar sweet potatoes, he is in awe and at the same time has a little worry in his heart.

He worried that if such a precious sweet potato failed to grow seedlings, it would be a waste of the hardships brought by the third brother's journey across the ocean, and he would be sorry for his sister's expectation of giving him sweet potatoes.

"Sister and Ah Zhen are here."

After Xiao Fuyuan explained his intentions to Bai Dazhuang, Bai Dazhuang said that the sweet potato belonged to his sister, and he had no problem with whoever his sister wanted to give it to.

Bai Dazhuang picked a beautiful big one and handed it to He Shun.

He Shun took it with both hands and observed it curiously, and said, "Just now Xiao Yuanbao said that this kind of thing can be used as food, and a dozen can grow on one vine?"

Bai Dazhuang nodded and said, "Yes, my third brother saw it in person on Lu Island in Nanyang."

Just now, Xiao Fuyuan said that he still didn't believe it, but when Bai Dazhuang said that San Zhuang had seen it with his own eyes, he believed it, so he whispered: "If this is cultivated, how many people will it have to support?"

Bai Dazhuang said with a smile: "Exactly, that's why my sister asked me to try to cultivate it."

Bai Dazhuang said again: "I tasted this stuff, it doesn't make my throat sting, it tastes good, and it can resist hunger. It would be great if it could be bred."

He Shun was so pleasantly surprised that he didn't want it, if it wasn't for his master's filial piety, he would feel that it would be too hot to take such a precious seed.

My master also has a merchant ship going to Nanyang, and I haven't found such a treasure for so many years.

Why did Bai Sanzhuang bring such a treasure all the way there?

It can be seen that it was all due to Xiao Fuyuan's blessing.

He Shun looked at Xiao Fuyuan with light in his eyes.

These years of rest and recuperation have led to a surge in the population of the dynasty, which has also caused the problem of insufficient food, resulting in frequent occurrences of drowning babies in various places.

It's not that those parents are too cruel and cruel, there is no way, there are only so many that are produced in the field.

Can't support it!

If this thing is really cultivated and promoted by Bai Dazhuang, it will be a great thing for the country and the people.

If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely be delighted.

The queen mother will definitely be happy when she finds out.

It is self-evident to know the importance of population to a country.

He Shun decided to present this sweet potato to the Empress Dowager as Lao Bai's family. Anyway, Mrs. Zhen is the Empress Dowager's niece, so shouldn't a niece give a gift to the Empress Dowager?

Maybe the queen mother will be cured when she is happy.

By the way, follow the sweet potato and write a memorial to explain the good things about sweet potato to the emperor.

Old Bai's family is really good. After getting involved, the young master's path will become wider and wider.

In the past, there were swallows and millets, but now there are sweet potatoes, which are not high-quality iron ore.

These are not all the blessings brought by knowing Xiao Fuyuan.

He Shun was so excited that he was on the verge of tears.

Bai Dazhuang probably guessed what He Shun was thinking when he saw He Shun, so he said to He Shun very cautiously: "Housekeeper He, I may not be able to grow these sweet potatoes yet, please don't make a fuss..."

He Shun nodded, then shook his head, pointed at Xiao Fuyuan and said, "With Xiao Yuan Bao here, what are you worried about? It can definitely be cultivated."

Bai Dazhuang: "..."

Xiao Fuyuan: "..."

……

These days, the Bai family took an inventory of what Bai Sanzhuang had brought, and at the same time counted the money earned by the villagers and relatives from investing in shares.

Bai Sanzhuang went to Huai City to exchange the banknotes for silver, and piled them up on the table in the yard like a hill.

People from the village flocked to Lao Bai's house, their eyes widened when they saw the silver on the table.

It's such a big life, but it's the first time I've seen so much money.

These are all earned by investing their capital.

Da Lang stood aside, reading the name and the amount to the account book, the one who called the name took the money, and the rest of the Bai family sat at the table and handed the money to the other party.

The one who got the money was so excited that he almost fell to the ground.

Almost every investment capital has doubled.

Some people want to drink a pot of wine and eat meat immediately, and some are going to the town to tear two clothes for their daughter-in-law.

Here, the most enviable one is Aunt Hu.

Thinking back, Aunt Hu sold her own grain and pawned the bracelets at the beginning. She made up 12 taels, and this time she made a profit of nearly 50 taels.

Aunt Hu's hands trembled, this was the biggest money she could get in such a big life.

God, her mind went blank on the spot, only to be awakened by the congratulations swarming around her.

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Hu saw Xiao Fuyuan standing aside, clasped her hands together with the money in her hand, and bowed to Xiao Fuyuan again and again.

"Oh, Xiao Yuanbao, thanks to your blessing, I have earned so much money, Madam."

Although Bai Sanzhuang went to Nanyang to earn the money, Aunt Hu didn't care, she believed in her heart that the money was earned because of Xiao Fuyuan's blessing.

"I'll give you a tael of silver to buy flowers." Aunt Hu gritted her teeth and took out a piece of silver and handed it to Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan shook her head, naturally she couldn't accept Aunt Hu's money, as long as Aunt Hu had this gratitude to Lao Bai's family.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Your family's roots are not married yet, so there are plenty of places to use money." Zhen Shi smiled and pulled Xiao Fuyuan into his arms, and declined Aunt Hu's money.

Aunt Hu wiped her tears, feeling even more grateful in her heart.

Her son's recovery from illness and money earned were all brought by Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan didn't accept the money, right? She decided to go to the temple to offer a bowl of sea lanterns to Xiao Fuyuan to pray for blessings.
