Chapter 523 524 Digging Sweet Potatoes
Chu Yao couldn't imagine what the ditch looked like, but he thought it would be fun to fish in it.
He looked at Yangyang with bright eyes and nodded, "Okay! I want to fish with you too."
Yangyang nodded, "Okay! Let's go back and eat steamed buns first. The mutton steamed buns made by Grandpa Liu are delicious. I can eat five at a time."
Only five? Chu Yao glanced at Yang Yang, stood up and stretched out his hand towards Yang Yang, "Okay, I'll also try to taste whether it tastes good or not."
The two returned to the table holding hands, and Baozi Liu had already started serving food and steamed buns.
Chu Yao saw the fat white buns on the dining table and understood why Yangyang only ate five. The things outside the palace were so different from those inside the palace, but they were very interesting.
Li Yu looked at the grape juice on their faces and said with a smile: "Go wash your hands quickly and come eat steamed buns."
After hearing this, Yang Yang turned around and washed his hands. The servant dressed as an entourage quickly followed Chu Yao and wanted to help. Chu Yao turned to look at him, "You don't have to follow me, I can wash it myself."
Chu Yuhao waved his hand to the chamberlain, who stood aside.
Baozi Liu had already discovered that Mr. Zhou was respectful to this noble man and carefully delivered the dishes to the table himself.
Chu Yuhao smiled at the somewhat reserved Zhou Jia and said, "It's rare to go out for a leisurely stroll, so let's be more casual."
"Yes." Zhou Jia responded respectfully.
The palace is very particular about eating without talking and sleeping without talking. Everyone ate in silence, and the only sound was the clinking of cups and cups.
Li Yu thought that he would never eat with Chu Yuhao again, feeling a little bit unsatisfied.
After eating, Yangyang looked at Chu Yao and said, "I didn't lie! The buns made by Grandpa Liu are delicious!"
"Yeah! Such a big person is eating," Chu Yao thought for a moment before he came up with a word to express, "It's very enjoyable."
Yangyang asked in a low voice: "How many have you eaten?"
"Three, what about you?" Chu Yao looked at Yang Yang with some embarrassment.
Yangyang stretched out a hand and said, "Five."
It only took half an hour for the three adults to see the two children and they became familiar with them.
Chu Yuhao smiled at Li Yu and Zhou Jia and said, "Mrs. Li, let Yao'er sit in a car with you while I talk to Jiahe."
"Yes, Third Master." Li Yu smiled and saluted.
Chu Yao followed Li Yu and his mother into the car, while Zhou Jia went to Chu Yuhao's car and sat in a reserved manner.
Chu Yuhao looked at Zhou Jia, smiled and said: "Jiahe, I think Yao'er likes Chenxi very much. Let your Chenxi go to my house to be a companion for Yaoer and practice with him. You go back and discuss it with Mrs. Li. ?”
Zhou Jia hesitated for a moment and said: "Third Master, you know that my wife dotes on children, especially Yang'er, who was almost brought up by her. If she can go home every day after entering the palace, she may agree. If The one who stayed with you for ten and a half months only came out of the palace once, and with her temperament, I'm afraid she won't agree."
Mrs. Li's temperament is really good at refusing. Chu Yuhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will let him go home every day and will not detain him in the palace."
Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Third Master, for your understanding."
Chu Yuhao smiled and waved his hands, "I am the one thanking you."
The car passed the covered bridge, and Xiao Nilu and Maodou had already arrived at the bridge. Yangyang looked at Li Yu and said, "Mom, I want to get out of the car and go with Brother Nilu and the others."
"Madam, can I go?" Chu Yao looked curiously at the little loaches standing under the car.
Li Yu looked at Chu Yao's curious face and felt that such a young child was locked up in a deep palace, facing either eunuchs or palace maids, as well as a group of scheming women, and those red tapes, without even a hint of childishness. No.
He smiled and said to Yangyang: "Go! Protect the young master and don't go to the river to play in the water."
"Hey!" Yangyang agreed happily and jumped out of the carriage.
Li Yu carried Chu Yao out of the car and said to the little loaches: "Maodou, look at the young master, you can't go to the river to play in the water."
"Yes, madam." Maodou nodded quickly in agreement.
Chu Yao was walking on the dirt road, looking at the ditches on the roadside and the grain and hay stacks in the fields. He was so curious that he even squatted down to look at and touch the weeds on the roadside.
Asking here and there, curious about everything.
Little Loach whispered to Yangyang: "Master, has this young master never been to the countryside?"
"Well!" Yangyang, who was as big as a kid, whispered to a few people, "His father is a big man, so you must be respectful to him."
"We know, then why don't we go fishing in the ditch?" Maizi asked from the side.
Yangyang nodded, "Go, have you got your things ready?"
Little Loach said at the side: "Okay, you can go back."
Yangyang took Chu Yao's hand and said, "Master, let's go back, change some clothes, get some things and go fishing."
"Okay." Chu Yao followed several children and ran towards the house.
The two chamberlains hurriedly followed.
When Li Yu arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, Haitang and Han San had already cut the sweet potato vines and were waiting for Li Yu and the others to hoe them.
Chu Yuhao and Zhou Jia met some villagers on the road and asked them to stop the car and ask about this year's harvest.
The villagers said happily: "The weather has been good this year, and the harvests of rice and corn are good."
After hearing this, Chu Yuhao felt relieved and asked some questions about people's livelihood before letting the driver drive to Zhuangzi.
Li Yu waited by the sweet potato field. When Chu Yuhao and Zhou Jia got out of the car, he smiled and said to him: "Look, there are five acres of land here, all of which are planted with sweet potatoes. I have asked people to prepare hoes. Today it’s up to you to dig the first hoe.”
Chu Yuhao looked in through the open fence door and saw ridges and ditches. The sweet potato vines on one of the ridges had been cut, and two hoes were placed there.
"Okay, let me dig the first hoe. Sweet potatoes are planted on raised ridges, right?"
Li Yu didn't expect that he knew about Tianlang. He nodded and responded with a smile: "Yes, just dig from the position near the sweet potato vines. Once you hoe down, the sweet potatoes will come out."
Zhou Jia looked at Chu Yuhao with some worry, worried that if he dug the hoe into his feet, he would be in trouble, and he might be accused of harming the dragon's body by ginseng.
Li Yu also had the same worries. Seeing him swinging the hoe, he finally felt relieved.
Chu Yuhao dug down with his hoe, and sure enough he dug out a nest of sweet potatoes.
The soil on the ridges is soft, dig it out and use a hoe to lightly dig it, and the sweet potatoes will come out.
"Hahaha! Yes, I dug out four of them with this hoe, and they are all quite good in size."
Li Yu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your movements with the hoe are quite standard."
Chu Yuhao smiled proudly, "Of course, every spring plowing I have to go to the fields to plow and dig the first hoe."
Li Yu smiled and said, "You are our role model."
Chu Yuhao nodded, "Farming is the foundation of the world, and everyone should pay attention to it."
Li Yu nodded after hearing this and watched Chu Yuhao continue digging with great interest.
Zhou Jia also picked up a hoe and started digging.
After a while, Chu Yuhao looked at the dug sweet potatoes and said excitedly to Zhou Jia: "This winter, transport these sweet potatoes to places with drought and lack of rain. I have asked people to compile a planting method according to Mrs. Li's instructions." I got the agricultural book. These sweet potatoes can make more people have enough to eat, and Mrs. Li plays a huge role."
Zhou Jiali bowed and said: "It is because of your kindness and love for the people that God gave Dayong these things."
