The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Liu Hanyue had lunch at Yan's house and looked at the table full of dishes she had never seen before.

"Are these made of potatoes?"

Yan Shu briefly introduced each dish: "Try it and see."

Liu Hanyue picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of each dish. He had been frail since he was a child, so he ate very lightly. Recently, after taking the medicine given by Yan Shu, not only his appetite has improved, but the taste has also become a little heavier. After tasting it, I found that each dish has a different taste.

"It's obviously made from the same thing, but why are there such big differences in taste?"

Liu Hanyue ate another piece of boiled potato, which had a delicate texture and was much easier to eat than brown rice or black rice.

Yan Shu said: "There are many ways to eat it. Due to different cooking techniques and added spices, the taste of the dishes will naturally be obviously different. The most important thing is that you will have a strong feeling of fullness after eating it. It is completely edible." It’s for the staple food. The villagers will go up to the mountains to dig this afternoon. Specific results will be available in the evening on the specific yield per acre. By the way, did you bring the drawing of the catapult?”

The most important thing now is to prepare enough defensive weapons. Only by being fully prepared can we be unafraid of all emergencies.

Liu Hanyue took out two folded papers from her wide sleeves and handed them to Yan Shu.

"It is not easy to make a complete catapult. Since time is too short, these two drawings are a simple production method. Anyone who is proficient in carpentry can probably make it."

Yan Shu took the drawing in his hand and looked at it carefully. The drawing drawn by Liu Hanyue was extremely detailed, and every structural combination was drawn.

"Brother, take a look."

Yan Wen put down his bowl and chopsticks, reached out to take the drawing and studied it carefully for a while, then nodded confidently.

"This is not difficult. I will take people over and start making it in the afternoon. If there are enough carpenters, we can rush to make a few units today."

With Yan Wen's words, Yan Shu finally put his hanging heart into his stomach.

After the meal, the Yan family did not take a moment to rest and went to work each other, while Liu Hanyue returned to the courtyard where she was temporarily staying for a lunch break.

Liu Wenniang, Aunt Mei, and Erzhu Niang were going to dig potatoes in the mountains as companions. They originally wanted Yan Shu, Xu Shuangxue, and Lian'er to look after the house, but they also wanted to go with them. Liu Wenniang couldn't resist, so she could only let a few people follow. Go up the mountain.

Yan Ersheng took the three brothers of the Yan family, Yan Dahu, Yan Xiangyang, the eldest son of the Qi family, the second eldest son of the Qi family, Erzhu, Wen Yutang and other young men to the Yan family ancestral hall.

By the time they arrived, Yan Fugui had already organized dozens of villagers who were proficient in carpentry and making bamboo arrows.

Under the leadership of Yan Wen, the people responsible for carpentry work quickly began to be busy, and the remaining people were responsible for making bamboo arrows.

-

A small gray figure fluttered and landed on the window sill of a farm yard. After seeing it, Nanzhi immediately stepped forward and took off the bamboo tube on the carrier pigeon and walked straight into the main house.

"Master, there's news coming down the mountain."

Nanzhi handed the note to the beauty's bed, and Liu Hanyue stretched out her fair and slender hand to take it.

He opened it and took a quick look, revealing a faint smile in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

The fish finally showed up.

On the mountain

Xu Shuangxue's face turned red from exhaustion. Liu Wenniang persuaded her several times before she was willing to go to the side of the tree to enjoy the cool air.

Yan Shu untied the bamboo tube from his waist and handed it to her: "Sister-in-law, please have a drink of water."

"Thank you, little sister."

Xu Shuangxue wiped the sweat from her face with a handkerchief, took the bamboo tube handed over by Yan Shu, opened the lid and took a few sips.

A cool feeling entered her lungs, and the feeling of heat and fatigue all over her body quickly disappeared. Xu Shuangxue felt that the water had a faint sweetness, which seemed different from the water she drank at home.

After a moment of confusion, Xu Shuangxue thought that she had lost a lot of sweat and drank the sweetness of the water because she was too thirsty.

She looked towards the villagers busy in the field.

"Little sister, the yield of these potatoes is so high. If the people in the court find out, they will definitely target us. Have you thought about the future sales of this food?"

Xu Shuangxue grew up in a business family, and she became proficient in business under the influence of her brother.

She knew that once this thing was spread, it would not only attract the attention of the court, but also attract countless pairs of greedy eyes. Banpo Village, a place like a paradise, might be squeezed out by all forces from now on. This is not her Want to see.

Yan Shu said: "Nowadays, refugees are everywhere. It's hard to see rain this year in this weather. Potatoes are drought-resistant and high-yielding. My original intention is to promote it in Xinyang Prefecture, but once this thing spreads, it will be targeted by all forces, so I just invited Mr. Liu to come over. If the Yongding Marquis Mansion takes action, the entire Xinyang Mansion will not dare to make mistakes easily, and only then can potatoes truly enter the fields of ordinary people."

Xu Shuangxue praised: "My little sister is very thoughtful. This Xinyang Mansion is the fiefdom of Yongding Marquis. As long as the Second Young Master interferes in this matter, those profiteers and the forces behind them will not dare to act rashly."

Before sunset, the villagers returned home one after another.

Yan Shu drove the donkey cart up the mountain and brought back a cart full of potatoes at night.

Today, they harvested all the more than one acre of potatoes they were allocated. After weighing, the total yield per acre reached 1,800 kilograms.

The whole family was dumbfounded that such a harvest could be achieved in the mountains.

Yan Ersheng asked Yan Wen to tell the seventh uncle the news. Other villagers also rushed to the seventh uncle's house to deliver the news. More than 300 acres of mountainous land was allocated to each household, which was only one acre of land. In the end, it was almost the same. Every family keeps their weight above 1,600 pounds.

Seeing the potatoes forming hills in their yards, the villagers were immersed in the joy of the harvest. With this food, they would no longer have to go hungry. As long as they guarded this mountain, they would be able to survive from now on. It’s time to eat.
