"Sweet potatoes are originally produced in Mexico. They were introduced to my country by Western missionaries at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and then gradually spread to the whole country. Because sweet potatoes are drought-resistant, high-yield, and easy to grow, they are very popular among farmers. favorite..."

In the dead of night, Gu Shen fiddled with the system's idea screen to browse everything related to sweet potatoes.

As a modern person, sweet potatoes are a very common and unusual food.

In his cognition, sweet potatoes are native to this country. After all, how could there be no sweet potatoes in such a vast and abundant country.

As it turns out, there really isn't.

At least not in this day and age.

However, there are Gu Shen's sudden wealth system malls, and not only do they exist, but the price is extremely low.

Three hundred high-yield sweet potato seedlings only need 10 wealth experience points.

According to the sweet potato planting density recommended by the system, Gu Shen only needs [-] wealth experience points to plant sweet potatoes throughout the village.

For the current Gu Shen, this is not a fee that will hurt his muscles and bones.

After all, that's all the bonuses for his soap workshop for three to five days.

Gu Shen has always been a practical school, never doing things on paper.

The next day, it was still dark.

He carried a straight sweet potato seedling and knocked on the door of the villagers' houses from door to door.

On the first day, only seven or eight households were moved by him.

Followed him to the field to eradicate the diseased wheat at his home, and planted sweet potato plants in his field according to the planting method described by Care Shen.

The next day, a few more families were moved and followed the example of the previous families to eradicate the dead wheat in their fields.

On the third day, half of the villagers in the whole village became interested in the sweet potato that Gu Shen mentioned.

On the fourth day, Gu Shen's efforts were not in vain. Those villagers who did not get the plants were already scrambling to ask Gu Shen for the plants.

The entire Shuiyuan Village started a new round of planting and raising seedlings during Mucha's season.

In the afternoon, the villagers sat on the stalks and fanned cattail leaves, and each of them held a large bowl of iced mung bean soup that Gu Shen paid for. Seeing that the fields that were lifeless a few days ago are now full of green life, they couldn't help sighing.

"If you ask me, this young master of the Gu family is really capable. At such a young age, I don't know where these novel things come from, but he can support him so quickly."

"Who says it's not? This young master of the Gu family is not only capable, but also benevolent. Ordinarily, the failure of the wheat harvest is considered a natural disaster. The young master of the Gu family does not understand farming. It is probably because of a moment of carelessness that the wheat fell ill. Let's go to his side If you think about it, you really shouldn't make trouble."

"Young master Gu is repaying a grudge with kindness. We went to make a fuss with him. Instead of being annoyed, he gave us money. Not only did he give us money, but he also taught us how to grow sweet potatoes. Not only did he teach us how to grow sweet potatoes, he also worried that we would be overheated." Give us these precious things to drink." After the villager finished speaking, he didn't forget to lick the mung bean paste beside his bowl.

At this moment, Gu Shen led two workers carrying burdens all the way from the field ridge, and handed out a yellow-brown oiled paper package one by one.

Seeing this, the three villagers who were talking hurriedly wiped the mung bean paste from the corners of their mouths, stood up and politely waited for Gu Shen to walk in front of them.

When Gu Shen came close, the three of them replied in unison: "Hello, Young Master Gu."

"You don't need to be so polite. This is rooting powder that can prevent pests. Mix it well with water when irrigating every day. This sweet potato will no longer get sick like the wheat before." Gu Shen took out three from the pole behind him. The paper bags were placed in the hands of the three of them one by one: "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me, don't fiddle with it by yourself."

"Yes, yes, we all wrote it down." The three of them nodded while holding the paper bag.

After Gu Shen walked away, the three of them sat on the ridge of the field and continued chatting.

The topic of chat is still Gu Shen.

"Brothers, there is actually one thing I can't figure out. I used to say that this young master of the Gu family is the biggest prodigal son in Shuiyuan City. He was so angry that his father was broken by his family and rushed here. But you Look at Young Master Gu's appearance, how can he look like a prodigal son who is mad at his own father? He is more successful than the son we raised, and in just a few months, he has done business all over the city. "

"I've heard about this too, but my wife said that the reason why Young Master Gu became a prodigal son was ruined by the little lady who succeeded Gu's family. I heard that the black-hearted stepmother didn't beat or scold, but she didn't. Let Young Master Gu study and focus on his little son."

"I also heard that Mr. Gu was not at all mad at the young master of the Gu family, but that the unscrupulous stepmother used some means to put him to death. At that time, the young master of the Gu family was locked up in the classroom, and he was released only after ten days. Young master Gu came out At that time, the master of the Gu family had long been in the house for a while, so how can it be said that the young master of the Gu family was mad at him?"

"That's right. According to me, it's not that simple."

***

Gu Mansion, a deep courtyard.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Gu Fangshi oiled his bun with a fine-toothed copper grate, and sneezed hard for no reason.

"Immortal Bodhisattva, where is this shameless talking about me behind my back?" Gu Fang picked up the handkerchief on the side, wiped the bottom of her nose, and continued to focus on correcting the makeup on her face.

"Ma'am, this servant is back." Cui Cui, the little maid, came in from the outside carrying a small bundle on her shoulders.

"Are you back? Can you see what that little bastard looks like?" Gu Fangshi didn't look back, and picked up a tube of brightly colored lipstick to add color to her small cherry mouth.

"Ma'am, I just took a look at it from a distance this time. Last time, some of the villagers knew me, so it's hard for me to go over and ask."

"Don't talk nonsense, just say what did you see? That little bastard was not beaten?" Gu Fangshi put on her lipstick and pursed her lips, admiring herself in the mirror beautifully.

"No, the servant only saw that the wheat in the field was shoveled, and another kind of seedling that I had never seen before was planted in the field, and the whole village is full of this kind of seedling. I heard that it seems to be called sweet potato. of."

"Sweet potato?" Gu Fangshi finally got up from his seat after finishing dressing up: "I haven't heard of it, please explain in more detail."

"To be more specific, Master Ting gave the villagers two taels of silver per mu of land as compensation, and he gave them the sweet potato seedlings so that they could learn how to grow them..."

"Okay, okay, what is Master Ting? The only young master in our Gu family is Zhou'er, don't call me the one who has gone before and after." The servant girl Cuicui was interrupted by Gu Fang before she could finish her sentence, and Gu Fang scolded her After saying the maid's words, she muttered to herself: "Two liang of land per mu? There are five hundred mu of land in the whole Shuiyuan Village. Where did this bastard get the money?"

"Ma'am, you usually don't know about it in the inner house, right?" Cui Cui lifted the teapot and poured Gu Fang a cup of tea: "We were fooled by that shopkeeper Wu."

"What do you mean? What is cheating?"

"Half a month ago, shopkeeper Wu sent someone to find his wife, saying that Master Ting ruined his business. I hope you can help him find a suitable person to scatter the jar of mildew and pests in the field of Master Ting's house." He also gave Madam 200 taels of silver, so do you know what Master Ting has disturbed his business?"

"what business?"

"Your servant can't explain a word or two to Madam. I can only tell Madam that the lipstick you use now and the soap you use to cleanse your face every day have Master Ting's bonus in each piece. Master Ting Now it’s too many days, I dare not say, but I should have two or three hundred silver a day.”

"What?!" Gu Fangshi almost choked himself to death with a sip of hot tea. The woman who always sees the money-eyed woman grabbed the maid's arm and shook it desperately: "How much do you think that little bastard earns every day now?"

"Two...two 300 taels."

"Two 300 taels? Two 300 taels..." Gu Fang chewed on this figure over and over again: "Right now, the daily turnover of our house is only 800 300 taels. Just get two [-] taels?"

"Yes." Cui Cui turned her head and took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth and the tea stains on her clothes: "So I want to persuade my wife to find a suitable opportunity to make peace with Master Ting in the future. Listen. The maidservant of this letter had planned it for his wife on the way, and this Young Master Ting saw that he was a seed of infatuation, and he was determined not to let go of that little brother Yan. In the future, you, the mother, will be the master, let little brother Yan pass by the door, Brother Yan's stomach won't bulge no matter what. According to the rules, he will choose his stepson and nephew under the name of our younger brother, Young Master Zhou. By then, won't all these vain money belong to us? all?"

"Hiss... Damn girl, you still have a quick brain." Gu Fangshi smiled coquettishly, like a snack with ten catties of sucrose together, greasy and greasy: "It's just when we went last time I've broken face with him, and I beat him, can he make peace with me?"

"What's wrong with this? You and Master Ting have been mother and son for these years, so there is some affection. Although Master Ting is getting older, he is still a child after all. He just blames you for driving him out without explanation." It’s just family.” Cui Cui rolled her eyes, and she really came up with an idea that sounded very reliable: “Madam, if you don’t want to run into trouble with Young Master Ting, you can go to Brother Yan first, and say that you can’t bear it and want to get past those The clan elder took Master Ting home, and was afraid that Master Ting would not agree, so he wanted to ask him to make peace. You don't know what kind of temperament Little Brother Yan has always been. As long as you take him down, Master Ting will What are you worried about over there?"

Gu Fangshi twisted the handkerchief, his eyes sparkled.

In the eyes of those charming apricot cores, gold, silver and jewels have long been piled up, luxury cars and BMWs, thousands of fertile fields, golden houses and mansions.
