Splendid peasant girl

Chapter 641 Planting Sweet Potatoes!
Shen Qiqiao didn't know what would happen next, at this very moment, she was returning to Xiaocha Village with Wang Zhihuan.

She and Ye Han came to Wang Zhihuan's house and began to count the land distribution.

"Grandpa Lizheng, your family has lost five acres of land, and this Wumu land is for you. In addition, there are Uncle Zhang's house, Aunt Chen's house, and Uncle Ma's house at Hexikou..."

"Oh, Qiao'er, thank you so much, without you, I wouldn't be able to get this compensation at all."

"Why can't we get it? The contract is on us, and they can't deny it even if they want!"

"Anyway, thank you anyway."

"Grandpa Lizheng is being polite. This is the land allocated to the big guys. Take a look. If possible, we will announce it when the time comes."

"It's okay, it's okay, girl Qiaoer is doing things, I don't worry about the old man, haha!"

Wang Zhihuan looked at Shen Qiqiao more and more pleasing to the eye, and felt distressed that he did not have such a capable daughter or granddaughter.

On the side, Ye Han didn't do anything, just leaned gently on a bamboo couch, drinking tea leisurely.

Suddenly, Shen Qiqiao rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lizheng, I wonder what you plan to do with the scorched five acres of land?"

"Uh, this... I really didn't think about it."

Wang Zhihuan choked, and paused for a moment with the hand holding the title deed.

Then he looked at Shen Qiqiao thoughtfully: "Does Qiao'er have any thoughts?"

As the girl asks this question, she must have acres of land.

Shen Qiqiao didn't try to be tricky, and cut to the chase: "Grandpa Lizheng, actually, look, the fields behind my house are all planted with medicinal herbs, and as for the separated lot in the middle, something called sweet potatoes is planted. The ones that specialize in eating roots grow underground, and even if the top is burned by fire, it will not affect the geographic yield of sweet potatoes."

"Um, is there such a thing?"

Wang Zhihuan was slightly taken aback, he had never heard of sweet potatoes.

Shen Qiqiao gestured to Wang Zhihuan, and Wang Zhihuan suddenly realized: "You mean wild sweet potatoes? They used to be dug deep in the mountains when there was a famine, but they weren't very tasty. Er, you mean to grow them?"

"Yes! The vines of this kind of wild sweet potato can be eaten by pigs, and they can also be eaten as vegetables. Moreover, the sweet potato does not require very high soil quality. In addition, it grows in the ground. In case of natural disasters such as locust plagues , can also handle it.”

Shen Qiqiao thought of the years when Ye An was born, drought, famine and locust plagues, so many disasters. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the characteristics of sweet potatoes, and felt that this kind of food would be life-saving food in the year of locust plague.

In ancient times, there were no pesticides, and it was impossible to deal with such natural and man-made disasters.

Wang Zhihuan listened to Shen Qiqiao's suggestion, and the more he listened, the more he was surprised. Although the taste of wild sweet potatoes is not very good, it seems that it is really feasible in the year of locust plague?
After all, natural disasters such as locust plagues can happen anytime and anywhere.

Their elders have experienced locust plagues. In those few years, they were starved for thousands of miles, with millions of dead bodies. The scene was terrible.

"Well, yes, it's a good idea. Girl, you're so smart that you actually thought of cultivating wild sweet potatoes. By the way, how does your wild sweet potato look like?"

Wang Zhihuan praised Shen Qiqiao with a smile.

Shen Qiqiao said: "Grandpa Lizheng, why don't I dig out some sweet potatoes tomorrow and make a sweet potato soup for you to taste? In fact, the food is quite delicious, maybe your method is wrong."

"Well, it's done! Then I'll wait for you at home tomorrow, and let the big guys plant one or two acres of wild sweet potatoes when we go to divide the land."

"Grandpa Lizheng, I named it Sweet Potato."

"Oh, okay, sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes, haha!"
