Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth study
"Well, I asked txt to download." After hearing Lian Man'er's question, Wang Youheng nodded, "It's like growing potatoes."
"It's like growing potatoes." Lian Man'er's tone increased a little, and she was looking forward to Wang Youheng continuing.
"Yes, it's just like growing potatoes." Wang Youheng said, "It's okay to plant directly, but it's better to grow seedlings like planting potatoes first.
The people sent to deliver sweet potatoes to the Wang family mostly do things like escorts running errands. They only know a rough idea about how to grow sweet potatoes. No matter how many questions Wang Youheng asked, he would never get more answers.
Lian Man'er was a little confused.
"...I am planning to write a letter, so I must ask them to write to us the specific methods." Wang Youheng said.
"That's all, I'll trouble you again, Brother Youheng." Lian Man'er nodded and said.
Her memory of how to grow sweet potatoes is very vague. After all, she had never done these tasks in her previous life, but she had only seen and heard from the elders at home. Although Wang Youheng wrote a letter and waited for the other party's reply, it would take many days. But this is also a must. Moreover, during this period, she can think of other ways. It is more safe to do a two-pronged approach.
As for other solutions, thanks to the projects on the mountain.
"Brother Youheng, I'm thinking of other ways to write a letter here. Didn't I say that there are sweet potatoes grown in Fuzhou Prefecture? I heard that there are people from Fuzhou Prefecture who work. Maybe you can find someone who can grow sweet potatoes, that would be great." Lian Man'er told Wang Youheng about her thoughts.
"That's right, Man'er's little head is spinning fast." Wang Youheng raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Lian Man'er's head, but when he reached halfway through his hand, he saw Lian Man'er's black hair. He took it back. In just half a year, although Man'er was still a little girl, not to mention her size, her appearance and aura all had a unique charm of a girl.
Wang Youheng was temporarily lost.
"With sweet potatoes, we must have a way to plant them." Lian Man'er was immersed in joy and her own thinking, and did not notice Wang Youheng's loss of composure.
He and Wang Youheng made another decision about having supper, and Lian Man'er said goodbye and wanted to go home.
"Man'er, take these sweet potatoes for you when I go. You can take them by yourself. It's too heavy." Wang Youheng hurriedly stopped them when he saw Lian Man'er was going to carry the bamboo basket. This bamboo basket, two sweet potatoes, were at least thirty pounds. Lian Man'er was a little difficult to take them back alone.
"It's okay, Brother Youheng. I'll ask Xiaotan to help me get it." Lian Man'er said.
This basket of sweet potatoes can naturally be sent to Sanshiliyingzi later. Lian Man'er believed that Wang Youheng would not keep his word. However, Lian Man'er had seen it and touched it with her own hands, so she didn't want to separate from these sweet potatoes anymore. She just wanted to move these sweet potatoes to her house immediately and put them under her own nose so that she could feel at ease.
Not to mention that there is a small jar to help, even if she is the only one, she will carry the basket of sweet potatoes back.
Since renting a house in the temple and opening a breakfast shop, Xiaotanzi has become more and more familiar with them. A few days ago, Mr. Lu finally moved down from the mountain and temporarily moved into the temple. In order to facilitate taking care of Mr. Lu and also facilitate schooling, Goro and Xiaoqi also lived with Mr. Lu. The littletanzi Coke broke and ran around and helped arrange it. This was the first time that a child of similar age lived in the temple.
Xiaotanzi is honest and diligent. She often helps Lian Man'er and the others to run errands or work. Zhang feels sorry for Xiaotanzi's poor life experience. She makes something delicious, so she keeps it for Lian Ye'er and for Xiaotanzi. As for Xiaotanzi's clothes, shoes and feet, Zhang also takes over.
Xiao Tanzi and Lian Man'er, Xiao Qi and the others became more and more close to each other.
Xiaotanzi helped her carry something over. Now she was waiting in the shop. A young man talked with him. He agreed that Lian Man'er would go back together later.
Lian Man'er was very persistent, and Wang Youheng couldn't stop him too much. Fortunately, Qingyang Town was not far from Sanshiliyingzi, and Lian Man'er and Xiaotanzi were used to doing work. It was not very difficult for two people to take over something worth more than 30 kilograms.
After carrying a basket of sweet potatoes home, Lian Man'er told Zhang and Lian Shouxin the origin of the sweet potatoes, and emphasized that the per mu yield of sweet potatoes would be about three times that of sorghum and millet. Of course, Zhang and Lian Shouxin were overjoyed. For farmers, there was almost nothing that would make them happy than this.
"...Doctor Xiao Wang is our nobleman, and he is a ten-year-old to us." Lian Shouxin sighed, "We are a farmer, and we can just get a living, what kind of family are they? What kind of family are they? They have to beg us. They are truly kind."
"No," Zhang nodded, "Doctor Wang is also a good person. Just Doctor Li from our village is a good person. Sometimes when I go to invite him, there is also someone who is willing to come or not. That time, I lost money to others. I am a person of my identity. I saved my life and I will come to visit my man'er. I don't have much money, and I don't even ask for the medicine."
"The people in the old Wang family are very kind and righteous." Lian Shouxin said.
The Wang family has a very good reputation in the village. Although the Wang Juren family in the village is a bit arrogant, they never act recklessly and oppress the village. The father and son of Taiyi Wang and Wang Youheng are more humble in their treatment, which can be said to be the parents of the doctor.
"We Man'er is lucky," Zhang glanced at Lian Man'er who was happy holding sweet potatoes. As he said this, he returned to Lian Man'er. "If it weren't for the fact that Doctor Wang was in the village, this child would probably not have been able to recover his life."
Not only Lian Man'er's life was great, but she would have died if she hadn't had the attack from the Imperial Doctor Shi. Now they live a different family and their lives have improved little by little. Someone told her that they will have good fortune if they survive the disaster.
At noon, Goro and Xiaoqi went home for dinner and also learned about the sweet potatoes. Xiaoqi looked at the round sweet potatoes and became a little greedy.
"Sister, can we have one to try?" Xiaoqi asked Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er coughed dryly, but she was actually struggling. Xiaoqi had never eaten sweet potatoes, but was just curious. But Lian Man'er still clearly remembered the deliciousness of sweet potatoes in her memory. She also wanted to eat them, but it couldn't.
"No, Xiaoqi, these sweet potatoes must be kept for planting, and they cannot be eaten. Think about it, if we eat one now, we will have to harvest hundreds of kilograms of sweet potatoes less when the autumn is over. Be good, Xiaoqi, bear it, wait for the autumn is over, and eat whatever you like, and eat as much as you like." Lian Man'er touched Xiaoqi's furry head and persuaded patiently.
"Well, then I don't want to eat it anymore. Let's make all these sweet potatoes." Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Xiaoqi is a sensible child and is easy to coax. In fact, he is just acting cute with Lian Man'er. Even the children of the village households know the preciousness of seeds even if they are the most spoiled.
Of course, what Xiaoqi didn't know was that Lian Man'er said so much, on the surface, she was trying to persuade him, but in fact she was saying to give her some advice.
In the evening, Zhang took Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er to prepare a sumptuous meal. Wang Youheng calculated that Wulang and Xiaoqi had finished school and took them over and came from the town together. Today, except for Wang Youheng and Mr. Lu, no one invited to the meal. In the eyes of Lian Man'er's family, these two people were not outsiders. Therefore, Lian Man'er, Zhang, and Lian Zhier also sat at a table and everyone ate together.
After dinner, Lian Man'er made hot tea again, and everyone talked about family matters first. Later, Mr. Lu, Wang Youheng, Wulang and Xiaoqi began to talk about their studies.
"...I have read your two articles." Mr. Lu said to Wang Youheng, "Although the grammar is not so sophisticated, the literature and science are still clear. You might as well give it a try this year. I will write two questions later. You go back and write them, and I will show you again."
"That's thank you sir." Wang Youheng hurriedly stood up and thanked him.
Speaking of Wang Youheng being able to leave the exam, Xiaoqi is nothing, but Goro's eyes are shining.
"Don't worry, you're still early." Mr. Lu drank some wine, but became more sharp-eyed and said to Goro with a smile.
Goro lowered his head with a blushing face. He knew he was a little anxious. Because of the family conditions, he studied later than others. Therefore, he cherished the opportunity more and used one hour as two hours, hoping to use all the time he could use it, holding the book and not letting go. But even so, he had read the book seriously for how long he had been able to get off the exam, probably a few years would be needed.
Mr. Lu looked at Goro with a smile. The teachers and students were together day and night. What Goro was thinking now? He could guess that he would never leave him. Goro was so motivated, and he was happy to come and teach these primary school students. Goro's diligence and studious pleasure were one of the reasons that impressed him.
"Mr. Lu, I can only be like Brother Youheng this year..." Goro thought about it, but still raised his head and asked.
Mr. Lu stroked his beard and laughed, but did not answer immediately. Everyone looked at him and looked forward to his answer. Mr. Lu was a little proud. Lian Man'er felt that Mr. Lu seemed a little childish like this and laughed secretly in her heart. Mr. Lu was actually a person with true temperament. The longer he got along, the more obvious Mr. Lu's true temperament was.
"...Only you are willing to work hard and not afraid of hardships. According to the plan I have made for you, well, next year, maybe you can participate in the Tongsheng Test first." Mr. Lu caught the appetite of everyone and finally spoke.
Lian Man'er's family was overjoyed about this answer.
That night, everyone talked until very late before they all parted happily.
The next day, just after lunch, another good news came. There was a person from Fuzhou Prefecture on the mountain who could grow sweet potatoes. Lian Shouxin immediately invited someone on the mountain.
