Chapter 201 We are tough and not afraid of heat the pool, crystal clear water drops drip from the fingertips, like fairy tears, sliding down Huahua's fair and tender skin, arousing people's reverie. Bathing at night is the hobby of the three fox sisters, and now it has also become Mr. Cheng's hobby. At this moment, he was like a happy fish, swimming among the three sisters and having a lot of fun. The four of them were laughing and playing, and the sound of silver bell-like laughter could be heard from time to time. "Susu~~" Cheng Long pulled the gentle and intellectual elder sister Bai Susu into his arms and bent down to kiss her. Susu's body softened and she responded emotionally. On the other side, Huahua and Feifei saw this scene, smiled at each other, and couldn't help but hug each other... …… The beauty of May inspires people to sing; The music is gentle and full of romance; The fireworks are bright and beautiful; There is also laughter. Happy times always make people reluctant to leave.
Ever since Cheng Long decided to promote four crops: sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and peppers, he completely gave up the idea of slaying demons and exorcising evil. From early spring to late spring, a full two months, he stayed in Shuangxi Town. During the day, he nurtures the seedlings planted in the backyard, casting spells to induce their growth from time to time, and at night he indulges in drinking and partying. His life is so comfortable that I don’t know. After more than half a month of rapid growth, the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in the backyard are now ready to be picked. The peppers that were cultivated earlier have been harvested one after another, and a lot of pepper seeds have been saved. "Susu, don't you all believe that these grains have a high yield of 20 to 30 shi? Today, open your eyes and see if I am bragging." Cheng Long bent down and grabbed the rhizome of a potato, and pulled it slightly. One round potato after another was pulled out of the ground. After counting carefully, there were as many as twelve or thirteen potatoes. Generally, a potato plant can produce 3-10 potatoes, but here there are two or three more, and each one is plump and round. I can only say that the land in the backyard is too fertile. "Shake off the dirt and weigh it." "Oh oh~~" Bai Suzhen was so frightened that she couldn't speak, but when she heard Cheng Long's instructions, she nodded repeatedly. At this time, she and her two sisters didn't care whether the potatoes were dirty or not. They scraped off the dirt on them, put them into boxes and started weighing them. Wow, it weighs seven kilograms! Although they had expected it before, they were still shocked when they weighed out the yield of one plant. This is an exaggeration. It was so exaggerated that they couldn't believe it. One seed weighs six or seven kilograms, so wouldn't twenty-three seeds in the field yield one hundred and seventy or eighty kilograms? That would be a lot for one acre of land... Hiss, it's terrifying just to think about it. This is not a potato, it is clearly a holy bean! If such high-yield crops were promoted, even if Master Cheng was a cultivator of magic, he would be revered as a saint by the world, and they would benefit from it and become fox fairies who save people from suffering. Thinking of this, Bai Suzhen, Huahua and Feifei became full of energy. They rolled up their sleeves and couldn't wait to help dig. The yield of corn is actually visible, but it is far less exaggerated than that of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Moreover, the corn stalks are very thick, which leads them to think that potatoes and sweet potatoes are similar. Who would have thought that a small vegetable plot with forty or fifty potatoes and sweet potatoes planted could yield nearly four hundred kilograms of grain. Farmers in the town can harvest about 300 kilograms of rice in a season by carefully caring for one acre of rice fields. This is in the case of a good harvest. If it is a poor harvest, the harvest will be halved.
"Sir, how do you eat potatoes and sweet potatoes? Are they delicious?" Bai Suzhen, who has always been steady, was trembling with excitement at this moment and asked Cheng Long two questions in a row. "There are many ways to cook it, and it tastes delicious no matter how you cook it, but the simplest way is to put it in a pot and cook it..." Although eating too much sweet potato will cause you to fart, it was not a defect at all in an era when most people could not get enough to eat. Who would care about these things when you are about to starve to death? Many people on the Internet have joked that the Kangxi and Qianlong eras were the heyday of sweet potatoes. Whether it was a prosperous era or not is another matter, but it cannot be denied that the large-scale cultivation of sweet potatoes during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras did save countless lives. These things are life-saving food in many cases. The cooking method is also very simple. If you eat too much, you might find it unpalatable, but when the three sisters first came into contact with this kind of food and smelled the aroma emanating from the pot, they were drooling with greed. …… In the compound next door. Mrs. Wang was lying on the bed, sweating profusely. Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance drifted into the room. She couldn't help but sniff it, and then pushed her panting husband. "What delicious food are they making next door? This aroma is so special, I've never smelled it before!" "How would I know? They often make delicious food, and every time I salivate." Landlord Wang gets angry when he talks about this. The three women and one man in the next room are very weird. Apart from the fact that he secretly climbed over the wall to see the three sisters' appearance when they first moved in, every time he tried to climb over the wall to peek at them, he would either twist his foot and fall on his head, or the ladder would break and he would be half-dead. At first he didn't believe it, but after it happened once, twice, three times, and four times, he didn't see anything and instead got himself injured. Slowly, he became obedient. Even if he heard the sound of playing in the pond in the back garden next door, he didn't dare to climb the wall or chisel it. "Want to go have a look?" "No, you go if you want to." Landlord Wang had just been forced to pay his public grain tax and was so tired that he didn't want to move. "Then I'll go." A bright light appeared before Mrs. Wang’s eyes and she climbed up with full energy. Mr. Cheng was the most charming man she had ever met. In the past two months, she had found the right time and met him three or four times. She would send out signals every time, but Mr. Cheng was a serious man and could not understand her hints. Mrs. Wang had already made up her mind long ago that she would take action the next time they met, finding the right opportunity so that the other party would understand her intentions. Thinking about it, I feel a little excited! After a while, Mrs. Wang twisted her waist and knocked on the door of Bai's house. "Fei Fei, what delicious food did you cook at home? It smells so good!" Mrs. Wang came in uninvited as usual. Feifei was already used to it and smiled, "Sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn." "what?" Mrs. Wang was bewildered. What is this? I have never heard of it before! "It's normal that you don't know, because it's our first time eating it too. The sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn were all bought by the young master from overseas. The yield is very high."
Feifei admires Cheng Long very much. Although he is a demon cultivator, he has the heart of a saint. He likes to kill demons and save people. He is simply a living Bodhisattva. She always felt that her two sisters would regret not signing the devil's contract in the future. But considering the above terms and restrictions, it is not very convenient to persuade the sisters. We can only hope that they will figure it out themselves. "How tall is it?" “Six or seven times as much as rice!” "Ah~~" Madam Wang paused in shock and said, "Is this true? How can the grain yield be so high?" Feifei said as a matter of course: "Sweet potatoes!" Mrs. Wang: "..." The two of them walked into the kitchen and happened to see Cheng Long lifting the lid of the pot. In an instant, a rich and unique aroma wafted to their noses, making them drool. "I'll taste it first." Huahua couldn't wait to grab a hot sweet potato and stuff it into her mouth. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely scream in pain from the burns, but Huahua acted as if nothing had happened. The soft and glutinous texture, delicate texture and slightly sweet taste instantly conquered her taste buds. "How about it?" “Delicious, sweet and sticky.” "Then I'll try it too." Bai Susu and Feifei grabbed a sweet potato one after another and began to taste it eagerly. Gulu! Mrs. Wang swallowed her saliva, looked straight at Cheng Long, and asked, "Can you give me one to try?" "Of course, just be careful with the heat." Cheng Long picked out a sweet potato of moderate size and handed it over. "Thank you, Master Cheng~~" Mrs. Wang was accustomed to flirting, and she would even make coquettish gestures when receiving a sweet potato. Cheng Long smiled and shook his head. Mrs. Wang was actually quite good-looking, and he didn't mind eating fast food once or twice, but he considered that Mrs. Wang lived next door. It’s better not to eat this fast food! The Feifei sisters are both vixen and are very sensitive to smells. If he dares to eat fast food, he will be noticed when he turns around. He is not a fool, how could he do such a stupid thing as picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons. Being ignored, Mrs. Wang took a bite of the sweet potato angrily. The sweet taste made her eyes brighten, but the scalding heat that burst out from the potato flesh made her mouth unable to close.
“Wuwuwu… hot, hot, hot…” Mrs. Wang fanned the air while chewing the food, and would rather get burned than spit it out. Seeing such a funny scene, Cheng Long and others couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Don't you feel the heat?" Mrs. Wang swallowed a mouthful of scalding hot sweet potato with difficulty and looked at the three sisters with confusion on her face. They had eaten earlier, so how come none of them felt the heat? "We are tough and not afraid of the heat." "Yeah, you should wait before eating!" "Madam Wang, blow on it more and it will cool down." The three sisters started to make sarcastic remarks to each other. They are not afraid of the heat because they have cultivated themselves. How can Mrs. Wang, a weak woman, compare with them? "..." Mrs. Wang twitched her lips, she was very angry. But she was helpless with the three women in front of her. They were really not afraid of the heat and dared to eat right out of the pot, each of them acting as if nothing had happened. "Don't just eat sweet potatoes, try potatoes, and corn, too. Corn is the best." "Mmmmm~" Feifei and the other two nodded repeatedly. Potatoes are also soft, fragrant and delicious, but they are very different from sweet potatoes. But their favorite is corn, which is fragrant and sweet and very satisfying to eat. Mrs. Wang was extremely greedy, but as she didn't have a thick tongue, she didn't dare to try the delicious food that had just come out of the pot. She could only watch Cheng Long and the others eat it. For some reason, she had an extremely strong sense of grievance, as if she was redundant... uh, as if she had come uninvited, and Master Cheng had nothing to do with her! Then no...how can it be okay! Seeing this joyful and warm scene, Mrs. Wang was filled with envy as she thought of her husband who was not valued and had little strength at home. "Mr. Cheng, the peonies in my medicine field are in bloom and look especially beautiful. I wonder if you and your three sisters are interested in going to see them? The peonies are so fragrant!" Mrs. Wang looked at Cheng Long eagerly. Cheng Long raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a wicked smile: "I am interested, but... unfortunately, we will be busy for a long time in the future and will not have time to travel." "What are you busy with?" "Busy reclaiming wasteland and planting crops." "..." (End of this chapter)
