Chapter 108 Discussing Planting Sweet Potatoes

When Shen Yuan saw the noodles on the table, his eyes widened.

It's red. What is this? Is it noodles?

He likes noodles the best.

But why does the color of this noodle soup look so good and smell so sweet?

Red soup, green leaves, golden eggs, he couldn't bear to eat this combination of colors.

And when he looked at his bowl, it seemed that there were a lot of eggs.

As for Su Wanwan's bowl, not only was there little egg, but there was also very little noodles.

Shen Yuan frowned, picked up the chopsticks and pushed the eggs in his bowl into Su Wanwan's bowl.

Su Wanwan was so scared that she immediately picked up her bowl and put it back.

"I don't want to eat it, Shen Yuan, you eat it, don't give it to me, this is enough for me."

Su Wanwan wasn't that hungry at all.

Shen Yuan thought about the last time he gave her food and she was angry, so he immediately took back his chopsticks.

I dare not say more.

Well, he really thought she ate too little. No wonder she was so thin and had such a small appetite.

Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Yunyi have already started eating, slurping the noodles with gusto.

"It's so delicious. The food my mother cooked smells so good..."

"Woo woo woo, I'm so happy..."

The two of them talked one by one, and their mouths were full of food.

Shen Zhao ate very politely, but when he looked around, he saw that his mouth was hooked upwards while he was eating the noodles.

It’s such a blessing to have my sister-in-law around.

"Wife, how do you know I like noodles? Thank you for your hard work."

Shen Yuan also started eating. He was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

How come my wife is so good, she is pretty and can cook so well.

Although he had known this for a long time and had eaten meals cooked by his wife before, they had eaten separately. Now that his wife was actually sitting next to him, the feeling was different.

Su Wanwan felt that Shen Yuan was really shameless.

She didn't know that he loved noodles.

However, she also discovered that the Daliushu Village in the central and northern part of the Great Xia Kingdom did indeed mainly rely on pasta as its main food. There were many dry lands here and rice was not grown.

"Sister-in-law, isn't this a seed? Why did you eat it?"

Shen Zhao looked at the plate of fried peanuts and recognized it immediately.

There are several bags left in the cellar.

I heard Yue'er say it was a seed. Is this how you eat it?

Wheat seeds have to be ground into powder before being eaten, but peanut seeds can be eaten directly?

He picked one up suspiciously and put it in his mouth.

It's crunchy and the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.

The two little ones tried it immediately and instantly fell in love with the taste of peanuts.

Shen Yuan was like, he couldn't stop eating.

We ate two other dishes, one of which was braised meat. Needless to say, it was not greasy at all, but soft and delicious.

The other dish was said to be cucumber, which was very refreshing.

Several people simply couldn't stop eating. In the end, not only did they finish all the noodles, but they also finished all the dishes and even the noodle soup. The bowls were so clean that they looked as if they had been washed.

There was a lot of noodles, and knowing that Shen Yuan could eat a lot, he ate three big bowls directly.

Su Wanwan was dumbfounded.

With this appetite, if you don’t have some ability, you will probably be hungry every day.

But speaking of hunger, she remembered the important matter.

The stockpiled goods in her space cannot be automatically replenished like those in other spaces. Once they are eaten, they are gone. Of course, except for the food produced by the land.

Although I have hoarded a lot of gold and silver, I can't just sit there and eat it all.

Fortunately, she had stockpiled a lot of vegetable seeds and grain seeds. There was a lot of land here, so growing grain was a good idea.

"The seeds just now are peanuts. Strictly speaking, they are not considered grain. Their biggest use is to extract oil."

"We have many kinds of vegetable oils, peanut oil is one of them, and its oil yield is particularly high."

Su Wanwan first explained peanuts.

While everyone was sitting here after dinner, she wanted to talk about farming in the future.

Shen Yuan thought about the taste of the peanuts just now, and when he put them in his mouth, it seemed to be full of the aroma of oil.

Although pork lard is fragrant, it is different from this kind of fragrance. Moreover, pork lard is expensive, and ordinary farmers simply cannot afford it. If everyone can grow these peanuts, will everyone be able to eat oil in the future?

"Wanwan wants to grow peanuts?"

He looked up.

Su Wanwan nodded.

"I want to plant not only peanuts, but also other seeds, especially sweet potatoes. However, the origin of these seeds is unknown, so we have to come up with a foolproof plan. In addition, how to plant them, whether we plant them ourselves or let others plant them together, is also a problem."

Shen Yuan nodded, seeming to be thinking about it.

When Xiao Yunyi saw the adults talking about something, he immediately went to clean up the dishes.

Xiao Yueer went to help.

Shen Zhao also wanted to go out, but was stopped by Su Wanwan.

"Shen Zhao, please stay. Let's discuss this together."

Children in ancient times matured precociously, and Shen Zhao was considered a little adult, so he should be involved in these family matters.

Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat down happily.

Is he also someone who can participate in family decision-making?

It's his sister-in-law who thinks highly of him.

"The origin of the seeds is not difficult. Just say that they were found deep in the mountains."

There are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, and ordinary people cannot really go into the mountains.

Shen Zhao and Su Wanwan both nodded in unison.

"But, sister-in-law, what should we plant? What seeds can we plant in this season? The most important thing is how much they will yield? After the wheat is harvested, we will plant beans and millet, which are both good for our stomachs."

Shen Zhao hit the nail on the head and Su Wanwan was stunned.

The 12-year-old child was quite thoughtful and even asked about the key points.

Indeed, if it can’t fill people’s stomachs, no one would grow it.

After all, farmers nowadays can’t even get enough food to eat, so they won’t pursue other food desires.

Food is the most important thing.

"I want to plant sweet potatoes first. Sweet potatoes have a huge yield and are drought-resistant. After the wheat is harvested, if it rains and the refugees return home, I can plant corn."

These are things that did not exist in this dynasty.

"Both of these are food grains, and they are very filling and delicious. Their yields are much higher than soybeans and yellow rice."

Su Wanwan added, and took out a piece of unsprouted sweet potato from the space.

There are many sweet potatoes in this cellar. Shen Yuan and Shen Zhao have seen them before, but they didn't know what they were and never dared to touch them.

"Three or five sweet potatoes this big can grow under one sweet potato, or even up to ten. I don't know how the weight is calculated here, but these sweet potatoes can be eaten directly after being roasted, and they are very delicious."

Shen Zhao had already taken the sweet potatoes and ran straight to the kitchen, burned some firewood, boiled water on top, and roasted the sweet potatoes underneath.

The three of them moved to the kitchen again.

“If you plant now, you can harvest by August.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuan's eyes lit up.

Can't it be harvested one month before the autumn harvest? With these sweet potatoes, we don't have to worry about not being able to harvest in the autumn.

But he heard that many people had run out of food and had eaten all the reserved grain seeds.

Now that they have harvested the wheat, what else do they have to plant?

While we were talking, bursts of aroma were wafting from under the stove.
