Chapter 137 Yellow Potatoes

"Sister, don't we have the seeds that grandpa planted in our backyard? They have been planted for many years!" At this time, a four or five-year-old boy standing next to Kuang Liu'er said with his innocent eyes.

He looked at Kuang Liu'er in confusion, not understanding why his sister lied.

Kuang Liu'er blushed, glared slightly at her talkative brother, then looked at Lin Shuran sheepishly and explained: "That thing is poisonous and cannot be eaten. Only the young chickens and ducks that grow from it will eat it."

Lin Shuran suddenly became curious, smiled at Kuang Liu'er and said, "Girl, can you take me to take a look at this thing?"

Kuang Liu'er couldn't refuse, but she still told Lin Shuran in advance that her grandfather brought this thing back when he followed Mr. Pei's caravan on a treasure hunt for the first time. At that time, everyone was at sea, and everyone was running out of food. Those in the caravan were

I just wanted to eat the basket of things that my grandfather found. Grandpa said that he didn’t know if the things were edible yet. He just thought they were rare and brought some back. But the people in the caravan didn’t listen, so they cooked them and ate them.

Two people died.

At that time, her grandfather secretly hid a few and buried them in the backyard when he got home. He had not taken care of them all these years. They sprouted and grew by themselves. Sometimes the chickens and ducks at home would eat some of the seedlings and leaves that they grew.

It's poisonous, so the Kuang family won't eat it.

Lin Shuran followed Kuang Liu'er to the backyard. When she saw that what Kuang Liu'er was talking about turned out to be potato seedlings, she was overjoyed.

"Girl, can you bring me a hoe?" Lin Shuran squatted in front of the ripe potatoes. Kuang Liu'er didn't understand what he meant, but he still gave her a hoe. Lin Shuran used the hoe to break the soil two or three times.

I saw a few potatoes the size of eggs.

Although the fruit is not many and small, it is indeed a potato, and it is a yellow-core potato. I really didn’t expect to see it in this time and space. Without careful management, it is not easy for this potato to survive to this day.

"Miss Kuang, I'm willing to spend money to buy these things. Please give me a price!" Lin Shuran took a look and found that there were not many potato seedlings in Kuang's backyard, only about a dozen in total, and the leaves were all pecked by chickens.

It’s out of shape.

Kuang Liuer was shocked. These things were no different from grass at best, and they were told to be poisonous to this man. Why would he still spend money to buy them?

In response to Kuang Liuer's kind reminder, Lin Shuran just smiled lightly. Only sprouted potatoes are poisonous. Potatoes like this are delicious. Maybe those people at sea had what happened after eating sprouted potatoes. They didn't understand.

Naturally, I can't tell whether potatoes are edible or not, but I know this.

"Thank you for reminding me, girl. I want all of these. How about I give you twenty taels?" Lin Shuran opened her mouth and said the price first. The price she and Kuang Bao initially said was fifty taels.

After dividing the seeds, she called Zhang Tang over and asked him to set aside the best fertile field in the farm for her, and she wanted to plant all the seeds in this fertile field.

Kuang Liu'er nodded gratefully to Lin Shuran. With these twenty taels of silver, their family's difficulties could be temporarily overcome.

"Master, if you want it, just dig some and take them back. It's free of charge!" Kuang Liu'er is also a kind-hearted girl. Her father has already defrauded others of thirty taels of silver, and she can't do such a shameful thing again.

, "It's just that you can't eat these things. They are poisonous and will kill you if you eat them!"

After a while, Kuang Liuer and her brothers and sisters dug out all the potatoes and put them into a sack as Lin Shuran said.

Although Zhang Tang didn't understand why Lin Shuran made such a decision, he always obeyed Lin Shuran's words, so the fertile land where he originally planned to plant winter wheat after the autumn harvest became empty.

Lin Shuran asked Honggu to drive the carriage to the farm in the southern suburbs. When she arrived at the farm, she asked Zhang Tang to prepare a room for her alone. Then she asked Honggu to move the short vat there first. Then she found clean paper and put the seeds in the vat.

Picking them all out, there are corn seeds, cotton seeds, watermelon seeds, green pepper seeds, tomato seeds and some flower and fruit seeds. Although there are not many left, she can still use her heart even if there is only one seed.

Cultivate more seeds.

Kuang Liu'er didn't expect Lin Shuran to open her mouth to give her twenty taels. She wanted to refuse, but she thought of her seriously ill mother and her brothers and sisters who had no food. She bit her lower lip hard and said with a tearful voice: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness.

I'll dig them all out for you!"

Lin Shuran asked Hong Gu to help move the short vat and potatoes to the carriage. Then she took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Kuang Liu'er, and said to her: "It's best not to let your father know about this silver, lest he get it again."

If you go out to gamble, please quickly hire a doctor to take a look at your mother."

Lin Shuran told Zhang Tang to keep an eye on her seeds, and then she changed clothes with Hong Gu and returned to the General's Mansion. It was a fruitful day out, and she gradually had some ideas in her mind, hoping that the plan in her mind could be implemented smoothly.

Just when she returned to the General's Mansion, thinking that Xu Minghan's whereabouts were still unknown and whether Xu Junze had found him now, Lin Shuran's mood became depressed again.

At this moment, a carriage stopped at the door of Kuang's house. When Lin Shuran came out, she saw Hong Gu, covered by a black hat, standing next to the carriage. She didn't know when she went to find the carriage, which saved a lot of trouble.

Time passed quietly again, and in a blink of an eye, it was August, the crisp autumn season, and Lin Shuran was looking forward to the return of Xu Junze and Xu Minghan. Although Xu Junze had someone send news home, saying that he had found Xu Minghan in Yunzhou,

But it had been more than ten days since she received the news, but she still didn't see the father and son returning the home, which made her even more worried.

"Everyone has been found. What are you worried about? The emperor has just issued a marriage edict to Prince Wu'an and Princess Xiqing. At the same time, he has also issued an edict to grant marriage to Prince Dingyuan and Princess Kerou. Now,

There is no need for the two families to fight!" Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran were sitting in the back garden of the General's Mansion, drinking tea and admiring flowers, talking about the important news she had just learned.

In August, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, the begonias are gorgeous, the lotus flowers are standing on the branches, and the roses are colorful. After Lin Shuran took care of the back garden of the General's Mansion for nearly a year, it is now a pleasant scenery that makes people forget to leave.

"Princess Xiqing's marriage has finally been decided, and Princess Qing can feel more at ease. The reputation of Wu'an Marquis Mansion is not bad, so Princess Xiqing will not be too aggrieved when she marries her." Lin Shuran picked up the tea cup in front of her, smelling the faint fragrance of jasmine tea.

It floated out. This was the jasmine tea brought back to her from Yunzhou when Xu Junze was sending someone a message. The tea was fragrant and refreshing, and it was her favorite taste.

"I hope so!" Lei Yingying sighed, and then playfully winked at Lin Shuran, pretending to be mysterious and said, "But I seem to have heard that Dingyuan Hou Shizi will have three wives this time, and three happy things are coming to his door.

Woolen cloth!"
