Luo Yong brought these sweet potato varieties from later generations, which are red-skinned and yellow cores. After steaming, the potato meat is orange-red, with a soft, sweet and slightly tight taste, and the yield is also very good.

This is also a new variety that has gradually become popular after Luo Yong went to high school. It is a bit different from the sweet potatoes he ate when he was a child. It has a higher sweetness than the sweet potatoes he ate when he was a child, and the taste is also glutinous.

Sweet food is rare these days. I collected sweet potatoes in the yamen that morning. When I was cooking at noon that day, Luo Yong asked someone to pick out the broken sweet potatoes and steam them, and give them to the people in the county yamen to taste them.

When the children in the county government ate the smell of sweet potatoes, they all narrowed their eyes with joy.

"Is it delicious?" Some adults who didn't eat it asked them.

“Delicious! Sweet!”

"It's so sweet?"

"Well! Sweeter than gourd!"

"Take it seriously? Isn't it a lie?"

"Seriously! So sweet!"

Those people went to see the sweet potatoes hanging in the corridor again. They all wanted to eat them. Unfortunately, they all had to be kept for planting next year, and they didn't dare to steam them to eat.

Fortunately, the vegetable shop has collected a lot of golden gourds recently. Today, Luo Yong also brought a few people to come over, sliced ​​them and stir-fried them several large pots, and used them as dishes for everyone.

A few mixed noodles cakes, a spoonful of fried gourds, a spoonful of cold dishes, plus a few large slices of steamed bacon, this is today’s lunch, and enough mixed noodles cakes, and a large pottery cauldron of corn was also cooked. Anyone who wants to eat it will cook it, and there is no limit to the quantity.

Luo Yong also had the same meal as everyone else, with a bite of mixed noodles and a bite of corn, and picked up two chopsticks from time to time, and the food was pretty good.

The so-called golden gourd is an old pumpkin. Three years ago, when Li Daozong's army passed by Changle County, Luo secretly stuffed a handful of pumpkin seeds into a wooden truck carrying grain and grass. Later, these seeds fell outside Gaochang City, took root and sprouted, and produced pumpkins. It was called golden gourd at that time.

This golden gourd was planted and reproduced on the land of the Tang Dynasty for two or three years. It was not until this autumn that Luo Yong and others could finally eat it openly.

The taste of this gourd is sweet and soft, and is very popular among local people. Farmers often carry gourds to the city to sell them, and the price is about twice that of winter gourds.

Before the emergence of gourds, the vegetables that people often ate at that time were a few leaf vegetables, including gourds, courgettes, loofahs, winter melons, reeds, etc. The gourds were gourds, courgettes were cucumbers, and reeds were radishes. They were all light and unfilled.

In this environment, a sweet, glutinous and rich flavor suddenly appears, which is naturally very popular.

Nowadays, in Gaochang, Dunhuang, Changle and Jinchang, golden gourd are more popular, and people in Chang'an also plant them, and there are relatively few other places.

A few years ago, a plastic bag of corn seeds that Luo Yong hid in a public toilet in the east city of Chang'an was well promoted.

Nowadays, many people in the South China Sea and the north of the Yangtze River grow corn. Luo Yong now eats a lot of corn flour every day, mainly corn cakes and corn paste. The price of corn here in the past two years is lower than that of corn.

"County Magistrate, what should I do with this sweet potato vine?" After dinner, a servant asked Luo Yong.

"Move to the woodshed first, I will have other uses." Luo Yong replied.

In fact, these sweet potato vines can also be used to directly plant new sweet potatoes. However, the season is wrong, and winter is about to begin. Sweet potato crops are heat-resistant and sun-loving, so it is difficult to grow them alive at this time.

In later generations, there seems to be a technique to store sweet potato vines from the previous year and plant cuttings in the spring of the following year, but Luo Yong doesn’t know much about this technique.

The promotion and planting of sweet potatoes is very tight. If you don’t want to let local people eat this food in a full three years like Jingua, you have to make great efforts to promote the promotion.

Luo Yong planned to take these sweet potato vines into the space first, and then find an opportunity to take them out when the spring of the coming year begins.

"You go to the market to see if anyone has collected sweet potatoes in the past two days, he will take back the sweet potato vine and say I want it." Luo Yong thought for a while, and then said to the servant.

"Here." The servant bowed down and said.

"It's not in vain to take it. Take some bacon from the warehouse and exchange it for them."

At this time, meat is very expensive, and bacon is a good thing at this time, especially the bacon made in the workshops in their county, which tastes very good.

"With each bacon?" the servant confirmed.

"Two points," Luo Yong said, "You told them that it is the time to collect taxes. The officials of the government are busy and cannot get out of their hands for a while. So they first asked them to put the sweet potatoes they collected in the corridor and dry them in a cool place in the house. After a while, I will ask them to teach them how to store them."

"Here."

After Luo Yong's instructions, the servant went to the warehouse to collect the bacon.

If it were normal, it wouldn't be his turn to do such a job. It's just that it's the time to collect autumn taxes, and all the officials in the yamen are very busy.

Because of the white flowers, there are many merchants who have recently been in contact with them. The servants not only have to patrol the city, but also often have to rotate to the countryside, and their staff are also quite tight.

The servant came to the warehouse and told the matter to an official who was counting the warehouse. The official asked him to go in and select bacon with him.

Because this bacon is to be given to the chiefs of the various insurance companies, although their Changle County is not big, there are quite a few insurance companies. The bacon is big and small, so you have to choose some of the same size to give it out. Don’t give it to the large ones and the small ones at that time, which is not annoying.

Each piece of bacon is kept in length. After choosing, use a little bundle of chinese dyed green thread, tie it with a slip knot, and put it neatly in the basket.

Soon, the servant carried a load of bacon out of the county government, and went from streets and alleys to the city to send the bacon to the bacon.

Recently, Changle County has been quite lively. There are Hu merchants who have passed by, merchants who have come to collect white flower seeds, and many Yiwu Gaochang people who come to them to buy white flower seeds.

There are not many people planting white flower buns in Yiwu Gaochang. Now the transportation is convenient now, and I heard that the white flower buns are expensive, so many people on both sides come to see what happened.

Among these people are rich, poor, generous, generous in and out of the restaurant, and shabby dresses sitting on the street chewing the dry food they brought from their homes.

There are also some who come from Zhangye, Liangzhou, and travel thousands of miles away to take a wooden carriage to the wasteland between Dunhuang and Gaochang to take a look at the legendary bridge.

There are more people riding on wooden rail carriages, so there are naturally more income, but the losses of wooden rails are also relatively serious.

It is expected that after the beginning of winter this year, this section of wooden track from Changle County to Jinchang City will be carefully inspected and repaired from beginning to end.

Luo Yong was quite busy these days. He arranged the work on hand this afternoon. He had a rare leisure time, so he went to the weaving workshop at Peng Er.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the workshop, I met several managers who were leading people to transport the white flower that was turned into a car into the workshop. When I entered the workshop, I saw a manager who often followed Luo Erniang and was directing several strong women to unload the goods. Luo Yong waved his hand to signal her to come over.

"What's the matter magistrate looking for me?"

The manager was busy, and a woman next to him patted her arm and reminded her. When she turned around, she saw that it was Luo Yongxun who was looking for her, and she smiled and went over.

"Which village is my sister in today?" Luo Yong asked her.

So the manager talked about the village Luo Erniang went to today, and then talked about their arrangements for the past few days, and also talked about their life in the countryside. The villagers respected Luo Erniang very much and treated her very thoughtfully, so that Luo Yong didn't have to worry about it.

Luo Yong nodded. He knew that Erniang was doing well in the countryside, and the people from the patrol team who had been rotated back also said this.

"Do you still have to leave the city today?" Luo Yong asked her again.

"After unloading these goods, we will go out." The local merchants who collected white flower from other places were also very good at fighting, and they all got into trouble. Although Er Niang and the others had the advantage, they were still unable to defeat four hands. Now it is the important time to acquire Bai flower, so they dare not slack off.

"Serious, be careful on the road." Luo Yong said and took out a paper bag from his arms: "This is my sister, please help me take it over."

"Here." The manager immediately put away the paper bag and didn't ask much.

Luo Erniang has lived a good life in the countryside these days, had good food and lived well, but she was not leisurely.

The work of picking white flowers requires the most manpower. The villages where they live often go to the floor to pick cotton.

Er Niang didn't sit in the house to give advice. She also had to go to the field to collect goods every day. At most, she was so busy that she could find a shaded place to sit and rest.

On this day, they were still busy all day. They stopped working until they were getting darker. After dinner, they washed up and took a while. A group of women sat in the house to settle accounts and talked.

Not long after, the team that transported goods into the city today also returned. The manager who led the team handed a paper bag to Erniang, saying that it was County Magistrate Luo who asked her to bring it.

Erniang happily took the paper bag, put it on the kang table, took it apart, and saw that it was two slender sweet potatoes less than the size of a palm.

Both sweet potatoes were slightly damaged, and they probably wouldn't be stored in the spring of the coming year, so Luo Yong brought them to her and let her taste it.

The second lady of Sweet Potato had seen this. When Apu and his friends first arrived in Changle County, she went to join in the fun.

Later, Luo Yong sent people to germinate the sweet potatoes, and grew sweet potato vines, and they were all protected from the market. She also knew that she often went to see them during the days when the germination was germinated.

"Is this the sweet potato?"

"I heard from those Kunlun people that this thing is delicious and very sweet."

"It's the most delicious to eat when roasted."

"I'll get a brazier."

"The house is too stuffy, so go to the yard to bake."

"Shh, whisper, don't disturb the master."

“…”

So the group of old ladies took the firewood and lit the firewood, and then roasted sweet potatoes in the yard outside the house.
Chapter completed!
