Chapter 33

"Okay, let me take a look!" Yoyo always has different opinions on things, so Xu Qingmo is looking forward to it.

After reading Xu Qingmo's article, Youyou has to say that for a 16-year-old boy, it is already very good.

"Brother, do you know what is the most popular in the Southwest?"

"Poisonous insects, snakes and ants?"

"Yes, but what are their natural enemies?"

"Yes, little sister, thank you, I understand!" Xu Qingmo understood in an instant as if enlightened.

Just like this time, Yoyo can always inspire people in many things, and people always sigh that she is not a man.

"Brother is busy first, I'll go first!" Yoyo picked up the book and left.

"Yezi, pack up your things, let's go shopping!" Xu Qingcheng went to a girls' school, and Yoyo was a little bored by herself, so she simply took the little girl out to go shopping.

"Okay, Second Miss, I'll ask someone to prepare the carriage!" Ye Zi was obviously used to it, and arranged for someone to go.

The streets are still bustling with people coming and going, Yoyo has a candied haws in each of his left and right hands, one bite on the left and one bite on the right, it is a joy to eat.

"Yezi, why are there so many people around there?" Yoyo was a little curious when she saw a lot of people gathered in front of her.

"Miss, don't move, servants go and have a look!"

After a while, Ye Zi ran back, "There is someone selling himself to bury his father!"

"Sell yourself to bury your father?"

"Yes, miss, they escaped from the southwest side. Several children had straw on their heads, a man was covered with a straw mat, and there was a woman beside him. It seemed that he might not be able to survive it." Already!" Leaf said with some embarrassment.

"Have the disaster victims entered Beijing?"

"Yes, Miss, but the victims were all arranged to go down North Street, so I don't know why they appeared here!" Ye Zi also felt strange, "Miss, why don't we take a detour!"

"No, why don't you go around, go and have a look!" Yoyo asked the servant to open the way, and walked in front of several people.

Yoyo saw three children kneeling in the front, a girl and two boys. The girl looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and the two boys were around four or five years old. Because they were too thin, it was impossible to tell which was older and which was younger.

"You guys want to sell yourself?" Yoyo squatted down and looked at the children.

The three children looked at the girl squatting in front of them like a fairy, and they were a little nervous, but they nodded seriously, "Please buy us three siblings, I'm very strong, I can do anything!"

The girl seemed to have grasped at straws, and frantically kowtowed to Yoyo. The girl's desperate eyes moved Yoyo, and she didn't want to know who arranged them here at the moment, but since Yoyo dared to accept, she was not afraid.

"Yezi, arrange for someone to buy these three children, and send someone to bury their family members. If the woman can be saved, send it to the hospital!" Youyou got up and made arrangements.

"Yes, miss!" The people following immediately went to deal with the follow-up matters, "Ye Zi, come with me to North Street!"

"Miss, it's a mess over there, you can't go!"

"It's okay, I'm just going to take a look!" Seeing Yoyo's unquestionable eyes, Ye Zi knew that her young lady had made up her mind.

"Miss, why don't I send someone to tell the mansion!"

"No, we'll come back after we have a look!" Yoyo got into the carriage, Ye Zi had no choice but to follow, the driver drove the carriage to North Street.

The difference from South Street is that this place is in depression. At the entrance of North Street, there is a porridge shed. Some people are giving out porridge for free. The victims line up to get porridge. , ran to his family cautiously.

Adults and children, old and young, their faces are all numb, and there is no hope for life in their eyes.

"Is there no arrangement from the imperial court?"

"The imperial court has no money. I heard from Zhou Sheng in the front yard that our master is so worried that he can't sleep every day!" Ye Zi looked at these people with sympathy, but she was just a servant.

"Why is there no money in the treasury?"

"The late emperor was merciful and allowed the ministers to borrow money from the treasury, but the ministers did not return the money after borrowing it. Our Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, so..."

"It's really the uncle who borrowed the money!" Youyou smiled, "Let's go, let's go back!"

After returning home, Youyou sat alone in her small study in a daze. Early the next morning, Youyou approached Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, I want to live in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs for a while!"

"Why do you want to live in Zhuangzi all of a sudden? What's wrong with you?"

"No, I just want to live in Zhuangzi for a while and change the environment!"

"Okay, then I'll let the housekeeper arrange it, and tell the housekeeper if there is anything missing!"

"I see, thank you mother!" Yoyo saw the ledger on Zhou's desk, "Is mother also worried about the disaster victims?"

"That's right. Recently, the court has been arguing about how to relieve the disaster. The master was arranged to raise money for the disaster. I will also check the family's belongings to see if there is anything that can help your father!" Mrs. Zhou was also a little worried.

"I see, mother, then I'll go first!" Youyou returned to her yard, asked the maid to pack her things, and went to her own village in the suburbs.

"Second Miss, the yard is cleaned every day, how do you see it?"

"I am interested, by the way, I arranged for you to plant things, how is it now?" Yoyo thought of the seeds bought from Fanbang people before.

"Miss, if you don't say it, the servant will report to you in two days. The seeds you confessed, everyone has planted them well. It will be harvested soon, but no one has seen it, so I would like to invite you Make an idea!"

"Let's go, let's go and have a look now!" Yoyo bought a lot of seeds at that time, and they were all planted. Looking at the large sweet potato vines, Yoyo smiled.

"Dig here, and dig out the fruit underneath!" Yoyo snatched off a sweet potato vine and ordered with a smile.

"Okay, miss, you stand away, don't stain your dress!"

Youyou stood back and watched the servants dig out the sweet potatoes from the bottom. There were seven or eight sweet potatoes on a vine the size of an adult's fist.

"Miss, what is this?"

"This is sweet potato, a kind of food, and it seems that the yield is not bad!"

"Miss, how do you eat this? Red, is it poisonous?"

"Of course not. The yield per mu is about three to four thousand catties. This kind of sweet potato can be eaten boiled, roasted, or eaten raw. It feels very full. Tell the kitchen, let's use this for lunch at noon !"

Lunch, sweet potato feast.

"Miss, this is too delicious!"

"Yes, and the feeling of fullness is very strong!"

"Second Miss, I want to ask, can this sweet potato really grow in any field?" Zhuangtou asked excitedly. As farmers, they know better what this means.

"Yes, they can survive under any conditions. The better ones are like what we saw today, with an yield of three to four thousand catties per mu, and the lesser lands can also be one or two thousand catties!"

"This is much higher than the yield of millet, Second Miss, this servant dares to ask Miss about these sweet potatoes..."

"I know what you're going to say, we'll talk about everything when my dad comes!" Youyou raised her hand to interrupt Zhuangtou's words.
