Chapter 699: Rice can be grown three times a year
Qiao Rong said, "What should we do with the sweet potatoes buried in the fire?"
Cheng Youning said, "Pick it out and take it home to eat."
The two children took the sweet potatoes out of the fire and asked, "Are they cooked?"
Qiao Rong took a look and said, "It's cooked."
"Put it in a basket."
The two children hurriedly threw the cooked sweet potatoes into the basket, then covered the fire with soil. Looking at the smoke coming out of the soil, the two children poured the water in the water bags on the fire.
"Dad, let's go back first."
Before Cheng Feng could say a few words of instruction, the two children had already run away.
When he got home the time was just right, Huang Chenming was already waiting for him in the yard, and Wan Lianxing was also talking to him.
"Little Grandpa, sir, I brought you some delicious food."
Wan Lianxing looked at Cheng Youning, who was sweating profusely, and asked, "What's to eat?"
Cheng Youning took out two roasted sweet potatoes from the basket through his handkerchief, just like offering treasures. "They should be very sweet. Qiao Rong and I haven't eaten them yet."
Looking at the plump sweet potato, Wan Lianxing looked at Cheng Youning's black little hands and black little mouth and said, "You eat roasted sparrows, but you give roasted sweet potatoes to me and your husband?"
At this time, Cheng Youning burped and said, "How could Grandpa think that I was eating sparrows?"
Wan Lianxing fanned him vigorously with his fan, "You ate secretly and didn't even wipe your mouth clean. Your burp smells like roasted sparrows. It almost suffocated me, your grandfather, to death."
After hearing this, Cheng Youning burst into laughter. He showed the basket to Wan Lianxing and said, "I've left a plate for you. I'll have someone take it to the kitchen and ask the chef to cook it for you."
Wan Lianxing was in a good mood as he looked at the sparrows in the basket. He tapped Cheng Youning on the forehead with his fan and said, "You are thoughtful. You still don't forget your grandfather even though you are eating secretly."
Cheng Youning said: "Of course I can't forget little grandpa, I know you like this."
Finally, Cheng Youning took out a flower from the basket and handed it to Huang Chenming: "Here." He thought that with such a small flower, he would not be punished if he came back late, so everything was prepared in advance.
Looking at the drooping flower, Huang Chenming still took it. He said to Cheng Youning, "Sugar-coated bullets don't work. Fortunately, you are not late today. If you were late, you would have to stand to listen to the class."
"Yes, sir."
At this time, the attendant came down from nowhere and asked, "Don't you miss me? Do you still have the baked sweet potatoes?"
"Yes," Cheng Youning saw this and immediately took out the last sweet potato in the basket, "Here is Master's."
The follower loved to eat sweet potatoes. He took the sweet potato and found that it was still hot, so he broke it open and took a bite. "You are quite good at picking sweet potatoes." The orange-yellow sweet potato is not only sticky, but also sweet.
"They were all picked by Qiao Rong." Cheng Youning doesn't know how to pick sweet potatoes, he only knows how to dig them.
One of the followers raised his foot and the man disappeared.
Wan Lianxing said, "Are you growing on the roof? You've stepped on the roof tiles and crushed them."
The follower laughed loudly: "It wasn't me who broke the bricks, it was your good follower who broke them. Look, I'm on the tree."
Wan Lianxing said: "Do we have to stay in a high place?"
The attendant said, "The higher you stand, the farther you can see... Disciple, don't just learn from books every day. Wait until your Mr. Huang finishes school, and Master will take you out for a swim on the river."
When Cheng Youning heard about going to play on the river, he couldn't help but smile. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. "Yes, Master."
Wan Lianxing looked at Cheng Youning, whose mind was getting more and more cunning day by day, and said, "My dear grandson, I heard that you persuaded that old man Chen Gongxiang to quit today?"
Cheng Youning said, "He blocked the door and yelled every day. No one dared to go in or out of the main gate of the mansion. Qiao Rong and I had not used the main gate for many days because of him. We had no choice but to persuade him to go back."
Wan Lianxing said: "Well, you are better than your father. I heard that your father went out through the small door today."
Cheng Feng was not the only one who went through the small door. Chen Gongxiang was blocking the main entrance. In the past few days, everyone in the mansion had been entering and exiting through the small door. When Wan Lianxing gave an order, no one would pay attention to Chen Gongxiang, and they were left to shout at the gate.
Cheng Youning smiled and said, "My father would never say more than one sentence if he could. He is happy when he doesn't say anything."
Wan Lianxing said: "He is just too lazy to talk. I don't know what he is busy with every day. We can only see each other every three to five days."
Cheng Youning smiled and said, "You must be missing him. He was watching people reclaiming wasteland at the foot of the mountain. I just ran into him."
"At the foot of which mountain?"
Cheng Youning told Wan Lianxing the location in detail. When Wan Lianxing heard that it was not far from his home, he decided to go and take a look. He was about to get hairy from being cooped up at home for a few days.
Wan Lianxing saw Cheng Feng not long after he got on the carriage. "Why is my uncle here?"
Wan Lianxing said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I came to see how you are doing."
Cheng Feng smiled and said, "I'm not very useful here. I mainly ask the villagers working in the mountains how to grow some grains."
Wan Lianxing said: "Have you come up with a good idea?"
Cheng Feng said: "After generations of hard work by the villagers, the mountains still have no crops, and I, an outsider, will also gain nothing."
Wan Lianxing said, "You're backing off before you even plant the seeds? I don't believe it. This land can't grow so many grains."
Cheng Feng smiled and said, "I'm not backing down. I have a new idea these days."
"Oh? Tell me."
Cheng Feng said: "From what I have learned over the past few days, due to the drought every year, people here never grow rice."
“You want to grow rice?”
"The river is full of water. If we plant rice there, we will surely have a good harvest."
Wan Lianxing thought for a while and said, "Rice needs to grow in water. If there is no drought next year, it will be fine. But if the river dries up, there will be no rice harvest." Wan Lianxing still wanted to rely on dry fields and felt that paddy fields might not be reliable.
Cheng Feng didn't think so. "Didn't Huang Chenming say that if you pray for rain, it will last for five years?"
Wan Lianxing tapped Cheng Feng on the head with his fan, "You are teasing me, it's not raining this day, you think I'm the Dragon King."
Cheng Feng laughed, "I think growing rice will work."
"Then just go for it." Wan Lianxing would try anything that had some hope.
Cheng Feng said, "I need to invite some knowledgeable people to come and plant it. I've seen the climate here and know that rice can be planted three times a year. Don't let us miss the solar terms because we don't know."
Wan Lianxing heard it and said, "Three batches?"
Cheng Feng nodded and said, "If the rice harvest is good, we won't be able to eat all the rice produced here, and there will be a lot of surplus."
When Wan Lianxing heard that there was more rice than he could eat, he became very excited and immediately said to the people around him, "Let's get some experienced people... Feng'er, let's go and see the river."
Cheng Feng took Wan Lianxing to the riverside, where a group of women were washing clothes. "My Lord, My Lord."
