Zhu Qiuqi nodded, and then took out a sweet potato from the burlap bag and handed it to Mrs. Zhang.

"Mother, this is not a lump of mud. This is a sweet potato. Where did Siyuan buy it from yesterday? It is said that it came from a gang."

The old lady of the Zhang family became curious about the sweet potato when she heard that it turned out to be something from a search engine, but she took the sweet potato and looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what the sweet potato was good for.

"It's just a fruit, it's not certain whether it can be eaten or not."

Although the old lady of the Zhang family is from the Central Plains, when she heard that this item came from a feudal state, she still felt that nothing from the feudal state was good.

In the eyes of the old lady of the Zhang family, that country was a deserted land.

When Zhu Qiuqi heard what the old lady of the Zhang family said, she knew that in the eyes of the Central Plains people, there might not be a good thing among these foreign things.

"Mother, you misunderstood. The land of Fanbang may not be as prosperous as our Dazhou, but there are also many good things there. Just like this sweet potato, I once saw it in an ancient book by the master."

The old lady of the Zhang family couldn't help being taken aback when she heard Zhu Qiuqi's words.Subconsciously looked at Zhu Qiuqi, but found that Zhu Qiuqi's face was full of seriousness.

"What? Could it be that this mud lump is also a medicinal material?"

In the eyes of the old lady of the Zhang family, the only things that can be collected by traveling doctors are medical books.

Since Zhu Qiuqi said that she saw it in a book, I'm afraid this thing is a medicinal material.

Zhu Qiuqi shook her head, "Mother, you misunderstood, it's not a medicinal material? But it can be used as food."

When the old lady of the Zhang family heard Zhu Qiuqi's words, her heart skipped a beat.

After two severe droughts, the old lady of the Zhang family naturally understood how important it is for something to be used as food.

When Qiu Qi said that the lump of mud in her hand could be used as food, the old lady of the Zhang family's fingers holding the sweet potato tightened slightly.

She looked around subconsciously, and found that this was the backyard of their house and no one came, so the old lady of the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qiu Qi, you can't talk nonsense about this."

The old lady of the Zhang family didn't want such words to be heard. It would be bad if someone came to Zhu Qiuqi because of this in the future.

Zhu Qiuqi saw that the old lady of the Zhang family was so careful, and knew what the old lady of the Zhang family was worried about.

"Mother, don't worry, we haven't told anyone about sweet potatoes."

The old lady of the Zhang family was relieved when she heard Zhu Qiuqi's words. The food crops are different from the waterwheels in the past.

They can contribute waterwheels to the village or hand them over to the imperial court.But if something goes wrong with this crop, I'm afraid these people in their family will suffer.

Although the old lady of the Zhang family is just an ordinary peasant woman, she also understands the fate of bullying the king.

"Mother, the reason why I told you about this sweet potato is that I saw it in the master's ancient book, because it said that this kind of thing can produce a thousand catties per mu."

Zhu Qiuqi whispered something in the ear of the old lady of the Zhang family, which made the old lady of the Zhang family tremble and almost threw the sweet potato out of her hand.

Fortunately, she still had some sense, so she held on to the sweet potato so tightly that it didn't fall to the ground.

But when she realized what Zhu Qiuqi said, Mrs. Zhang Jiale became short of breath again.She looked anxiously at Zhu Qiuqi, her eyes full of tension.

"Qiqi, is what you said true? Can this sweet potato really produce a thousand catties per mu?"

Although the old lady Zhang said doubtful words, her eyes were full of shock, and she obviously believed Zhu Qiuqi's words.

After all, ever since Zhu Qiuqi discovered the undercurrent in the Houshan pond and those lotus roots, the old lady of the Zhang family knew that Zhu Qiuqi was a blessed person.

Since Zhu Qiuqi said that this thing can produce a thousand catties per mu, I'm afraid the output of this thing is really beyond what they can imagine.

"Mother, when I read it in the book before, I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect Siyuan to do it yesterday."

"Now I brought this thing back, just to try to grow it. But because I don't know its yield? That's why I didn't tell others about it."

"I want to try it at our house to see how the yield of this sweet potato is. If the yield of this sweet potato is high, it will not be too late for us to tell the court about it."

After hearing this, the old lady of the Zhang family understood why Zhu Qiuqi rushed to work in the backyard when she got up early in the morning.

Now their entire Xiaozhangzhuang is under the supervision of the government, and the officials are also living in their Xiaozhangzhuang these days.

Under such circumstances, if Zhu Qiuqi is not careful, I am afraid that the matter of sweet potatoes may really be known by the government.

They are not afraid that the sweet potatoes will be known by the government, but that the production of sweet potatoes will not meet the court's expectations. At that time, their family members will also be affected, and Zhu Qiuqi will also encounter disaster.

Mrs. Zhang felt that their current stable life was hard-won, and she didn't want Zhu Qiuqi to take such a risk.

Seeing that Zhu Qiuqi was about to clean up the lumps in the bag, the old lady of the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're right. It's better to plant this thing as soon as possible. If the yield is better, it won't be too late for us to hand it over to the court."

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, and took out a few sweet potatoes from the bag as she spoke, and carefully cut them into pieces and put them away.

The old lady of the Zhang family originally thought that if she wanted to plant these sweet potatoes, she would plant them directly in the ground.Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiuqi cut the sweet potato into pieces, and the old lady of the Zhang family frowned.

"Qiu Qi, what are you going to do? Isn't it to plant these things? Why do you want to cut them up?"

Mrs. Zhang felt that Zhu Qiuqi cut up the sweet potato so much that it might not be able to be used as seeds.

Zhu Qiuqi saw that the old lady of the Zhang family was frowning, and knew that she was worrying too much.

"Mother, you misunderstood. This sweet potato is not a seed, but a fruit. If we want to plant it, we must cut it into pieces and let it germinate."

The elder lady opened her mouth involuntarily when she heard Zhou Xueqi's words.

Although she didn't know what Zhu Qiuqi said about sprouting, why did she cut the sweet potatoes into pieces.

But looking at Zhu Qiuqi's well-founded appearance, the old lady of the Zhang family couldn't say much.

After all, Zhu Qiuqi brought this lump back by herself.What Zhu Qiuqi wants to plant is her own business.

Moreover, their family doesn't lack that bit of food now, and she doesn't know if the things from this country can really produce a thousand catties per mu, even if it's for Zhu Qiuqi to try.

Zhu Qiuqi saw that the old lady of the Zhang family didn't stop her, and the smile on her face grew stronger.

When she first came to this era, she could tell that the old lady of the Zhang family was an enlightened person.
