At this time, Eunuch Liang observed Liu Pan'er without leaving any trace, and felt that this Lady Liu was indeed, as the imperial envoy Gu Shao said, not an ordinary woman. Even the legitimate daughters carefully cultivated by the big families in the capital would not be surprised when they saw so many officials.

You must be so calm and composed.

Everyone drank water, ate melons, and went to the purification room.

Whether it was people from the capital or the government officials from Cuiyang County, they all started to get busy. First, measure the size of the sweet potato field, determine how many square meters it was, and then excavate it.

The subordinates of the county magistrate Mr. Liu, as well as the day laborers hired from the county town, have now become experts at digging sweet potatoes. In full view of the crowd, they dig sweet potatoes with their arms wide open.

There were many people and they were skilled. After a while, purple-red sweet potatoes of various sizes were dug out, and the soil on them was removed, pile after pile.

Da Nongsi saw that the sweet potatoes were similar to the baskets of sweet potatoes in the court hall, and he was extremely sure that what the imperial envoy Gu Shao said was right.

Thinking of how poor his family was when he was a child, and how his grandmother starved to death, Mr. Simi, a big farmer, couldn't help but feel sad. He knelt on the pile of sweet potatoes in the field, choking with sobs.

He couldn't control his crying, so everyone looked over.

The oldest Song Yushi was shocked when he saw Da Nongsi crying like this, and quickly asked: "Master Mi, why are you crying? You are happy when the sweet potatoes are dug out."

They had always doubted the words of the imperial envoy Gu Shao before, but when they saw these sweet potatoes dug out in front of them, they gradually believed it.

In the court, people with different political views often slander each other, wanting to jump up and point at each other's noses and scold each other, but in real life, everyone is not an enemy. Especially in the face of real evidence, they have to believe and admit Gu Shao's

Credit.

They cannot oppose for the sake of opposing, but because they are wrong. Since the other party is right, what reason do they have to oppose?

Mr. Simi, a big farmer, replied: "To make my colleagues laugh, Mi was born into a poor farmer's family, and his childhood memories are of hunger. In order to save food, my grandmother went hungry. If there were such high-yielding sweet potatoes back then, not too many, just two per day.

With sweet potatoes, my grandmother will not starve to death. The world is so big and there are too many people who don’t have enough to eat. With such a high-yielding crop, it is really auspicious from heaven and will bring great prosperity to me."

In court, they could still refute, but now the ministers cannot refute.

The yield of sweet potatoes is very high, and those potatoes must not be fake.

Gu Shao has a bright future and will not make fun of his career.

Mr. Song nodded, deeply convinced, "God bless the Great Zhou."

If the common people can have enough to eat and never die of hunger, what reason does Mr. Song have to blame the one sitting on the Dragon Throne!

After all, from ancient times to the present, there has never been such a high-yielding crop, let alone such a feat that can feed the common people all over the world.

The emergence of high-yield crops is a sign of great prosperity.

Zhou Cuihua was called over by Li Fang to help. She didn't care about cooking at home and let her mother-in-law make rice at home. The family ate whatever they wanted for lunch, and she came over first to help entertain the adults from the capital.

Zhou Cuihua saw the adults braving the heat and digging sweet potatoes. She walked up to Liu Pan'er and asked in a low voice: "From Yuan Qing's family, should we eat lunch at your house or mine?"

Liu Pan'er looked at her bamboo shed and replied: "Auntie, let's have lunch at my house today. It's cool outside. It's not convenient with so many people in the cave."

Zhou Cuihua nodded, feeling that what Liu Pan'er said made sense, "Okay, it's at your house. What do you have at home? If not, I have some at home, bring them over."

Liu Pan'er thought for a while and asked, "Auntie, do you have any meat at home?"

Zhou Cuihua nodded, "When your uncle went to deliver melons to Butler Zhao this morning, he bought three kilograms of meat. I will carry it all for you."

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Auntie, let's entertain these adults first. I won't be polite to you anymore. Bring the meat over quickly. I'll stew the braised pork first."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhou Cuihua agreed and hurried home, not only taking the meat, but also some other things from home.

Liu Pan'er started to list the menu, including cold cucumbers, cold beans, stir-fried cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded fungus pork, hot and sour potato shreds, braised pork, sweet and sour fish, and a tomato and egg drop soup, as well.

Steamed sweet potatoes.

Finally, Liu Paner prepared to make shredded sweet potatoes.

Ten dishes and one soup are pretty good for a rural village.

Mrs. Liu heard her daughter's words in the field and told Boss Zheng to work here, and she would go back to help.

When Boss Zheng heard that Mr. Guan was coming, he became even more respectful.

Li Dabao also followed him home. When he returned, he picked up the basket that had been placed among the weeds in the field and stream and took it home to cook for his mother.

Seeing that his aunt was nervous, Li Dabao said with a smile: "Auntie, our baskets are heavy. There must be a lot of eels, crabs and shrimps."

Mrs. Liu nodded, "I hope there will be more people. There are many people today and there will be a lot of food cooked. We have eight hired workers at home. It's almost time to eat, so we can't forget them."

Li Li thought for a while and said, "Mom, all the pots and stoves at home are used for cooking. To prepare meals for the hired workers, I probably need to borrow the pots and stoves at the village chief's grandma's house."

Mrs. Liu nodded, "It's too slow to make rice. I'll roll noodles for them, fry a pot of sauteed seeds, and make a pot of cucumbers. I'll deal with today's lunch first, and then I'll make something delicious for the hired workers in the evening."

Li Dabao agreed, "That's all we can do. We're too busy. Let's greet those adults first. After all, these are the God of Wealth."

When they returned to the village, Village Chief Li and Li Dashan were already here, talking back to them.

There are still some sweet potatoes in their fields, waiting for the imperial envoy Gu to dig them when he arrives.

Liu Pan'er took her daughter Li Rong to cook for the officials, while Zhou Cuihua took Liu back to make noodles for the government officials and employees. The noodles were made quickly, and the noodles could be rolled out in advance, put in the basket, and cooked together.

The stewed water in the pot has just been simmered and it is edible. Now make the sautee and stir-fry various vegetables together. The taste is also good. The key is to add more oil.

Work separately and don't dare to delay.

Onions, ginger, garlic and other ingredients were all prepared. Li Fang made rice, and Li Li started to light a fire for Liu Pan'er. According to Liu Pan'er's request, the fire should be high or low.

The vegetarian dishes are stir-fried first. It is hot, so even if the vegetarian dishes are cold, the taste will not be affected, but the same cannot be said for meat dishes.

But the last shredded sweet potato needs to be eaten right out of the pan, otherwise it will stick to the plate.

Li Rong is going to take photos of cucumbers and cold beans, and is in charge of the cold dishes.

Liu Pan'er moved quickly and cooked the vegetables quickly. In a short while, several meat and vegetable stir-fries were ready, and the tomato and egg drop soup was also cooked. They were put into a clean basin and covered with a sieve.

Liu Pan'er didn't dare to use big sweet potatoes, so she chose small ones and steamed them in a small pot.

Next, she will make the long-awaited shredded sweet potatoes.

Liu Pan'er peeled and washed the remaining sweet potatoes, cut them into three- to four-centimeter hob pieces, washed them in clean water, then took them out and drained them. This step cannot be omitted because the surface of the sweet potatoes will not be washed off.
