Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 52 Sweet Potato King Competition

When he got up early the next morning, the weather was still fine. After breakfast, Yang Zheng started observing in Baogu Field!The outer shell of the corn has shriveled. When you peel it off, the golden corn reveals a beautiful smile. If the weather is good, you can harvest it again in two days!
It's space ripening again!Yang Zheng couldn't even imagine that he would be able to harvest corn in just over a month!It's unbelievable that the crops planted by Yang Zheng are harvesting food one after another. The few acres of sorghum planted by Liu Ying are only now becoming popular!Natural ripening and accelerated ripening are naturally not the same!

Turning to the sweet potato field, the sweet potato vines that were re-inserted into the ground yesterday were actually sprouting young leaves again!Yang Zheng was secretly happy. This saves a lot of trouble. This thing can be reused. If it grows at this year's rate, sweet potatoes can be grown at least four seasons a year!
Yang Zheng has now given the maturity period of space catalytic crops, which is basically about a month!During this period, no matter what crop it is, it can mature!

From this point of view, space is indeed a treasure. For more than one season a year, no matter how small the output is, there will still be a bumper harvest, not to mention that the output is not small!

Yang Zheng strolled around again, and the paddy field was actually covered with green grass again, regenerated rice!Definitely Ragnarok!

The effect of the space spring water is too powerful, the regenerated rice in this paddy field is actually not much different from the first one!Maybe the yield will be a little smaller, but still very happy!

There are quite a lot of things like loaches and eels in this paddy field. They can be seen foraging and playing with the naked eye in the clear paddy field. This kind of ecology is simply their ideal home!This kind of raw loach and rice field eel has the most delicious meat quality. Yang Zheng plans to take some time to put bamboo sticks in this paddy field, and then catch some loaches and rice field eels for cooking!
The potato field is empty now, and Yang Zheng is going to plant winter wheat after it is leveled!People nowadays grow summer wheat, and the wheat they grow by themselves is then ground into flour, and the cakes they make do not know how delicious they are!

Yang Zheng was walking on the pond, and inadvertently kicked something under his feet. When he saw it, it turned out to be a few duck eggs!There are too many of these ducks now, laying eggs everywhere early in the morning!No, it's still hot!
When he got home, he put the duck eggs on the stone nest, and Yang Zheng strolled into the kitchen.

Today Yang Zheng plans to hold the "Sweet Potato King" appraisal work, Yang Zheng decided to cook a pot of yams, and then bring them out for everyone to eat directly with salt and pepper.

Fish out dozens of yams from the wooden barrel, put them into the pot with their skins, add a few scoops of water, wash dozens of duck eggs, put them in the pot, and cook together!
In 10 minutes, these yams are ready to eat. You don't need to overcook them, otherwise they will taste greasy.

At this time, the little girl Huagu came in wearing panties and rubbing her eyes.This girl is definitely a dog, as long as she smells a fresh smell every morning, she will definitely come in to have a look.

"Brother, what are you cooking?" Hua Gu said as she stood on tiptoe and lifted the lid of the pot!

"Wow, it's yams, duck eggs, and peanuts!" Hua Gu exclaimed happily, reaching out to grab something from the pot.

"You, you are so reckless, it's so hot, you deserve to burn off a layer of skin!" Yang Zheng grabbed Hua Gu's little hand and said, indeed, this potato is very hot, and the same is true for duck eggs. If you reach out to touch it like this, you will definitely suffer!
Yang Zheng scooped up a yam and a duck egg with a small spoon and put them in a bowl, and after waiting for a while to cool down, he said, "Have you rinsed your mouth?"

Hua Gu made a grimace: "Not yet!" Then she ran to wash up.

Yang Zheng shook his head again and again, this empress has been used to what she is, and she doesn't know who she will become in the future, hey, she probably will be Datang's version of Sassy Girlfriend.

After the fire was extinguished, Yang Zheng took a bowl of porridge in another pot, peeled a duck egg, and ate it in the kitchen.Now Yang Zheng's family is really free. Whoever wakes up early, whoever cooks breakfast, and whoever wants to eat, can go into the kitchen to scoop it up and eat it, and there is no need to wait for everyone to come together.

Yang Zheng had just peeled the duck eggs, before he had time to eat, he saw Aunt Hua running over and snatched them away!
"Eat slowly, be careful of choking!" Yang Zheng said dumbfounded, and fished another duck egg from the pot.

At this time, Changle also walked in.Changle lived in a suite, and she only went out after washing up.Obviously, the yams last night were not satisfying, so as soon as I smelled the yams, I immediately ran in!

"Return bravely, Aunt Hua, good morning to you all!" Chang Le swallowed his saliva and looked at Yang Zheng and the two eagerly.

Yang Zheng saw it, it was over, so he had to be a waiter for a while, and fished out potatoes and duck eggs from the pot.

The three of them were having a good time eating in the kitchen, and the sound of footsteps in the yard approached one after another.

"Master Hou, Lord Hou! We are here to participate in the selection of the 'Sweet Potato King'!" One person's voice was astonishingly loud, and one could tell it was Li Dapao's voice!
Yang Zheng took another sip of porridge, and handed the bowl to Chang Le. Chang Le took a sip without thinking about it, and then suddenly remembered something, and his face turned red!

Yang Zheng was secretly happy, so he hurried out of the kitchen and came to the courtyard to have a look, good guy, all the villagers from Guo Village came, some carried them in baskets, some carried them on their shoulders or on their heads, Some were even more exaggerated, two people came carrying a basket!

And each sweet potato was astonishingly big, everyone wanted to win the championship, so they all took out their own housekeeping treasures!

"Haha, everyone is here, sit down! Let me announce the rules of this competition: In this selection of the 'Sweet Potato King', one 'Sweet Potato King' will be awarded, and one cow will be rewarded; 'Sweet Potato Runner-up' will be awarded one First place winner, one original sheep; one 'sweet potato runner-up', one original pig!" After Yang Zheng asked everyone to sit down, he announced the start of the competition!
Liu Da jumped out first!
"Master Hou, I'm the first to come! My family's participating sweet potatoes weigh 22 catties! The skin is smooth and slippery, and can be called the 'King of Sweet Potatoes'!" After Liu Da finished speaking, Liu Er and Liu San behind him lifted them from the basket. Bring out a sweet potato!

This sweet potato is round like a top, and it looks really good-looking. The color is really good, and the meat quality is good at a glance!

"Come on, please come with a scale!" Yang Zheng shouted loudly, and Zheng San popped up just in time, holding a large scale in his hand!
"My lord, I'll weigh it!" Zheng San ordered Liu Er and Liu San to put the sweet potatoes into the basket, and asked them to stand on one side of the scale, pass the stick through the rope of the scale, and lift the basket up!
"Wow, it really is 22 catties!" Zheng San weighed 22.5 catties, and this basket was just half a catty, so the sweet potato was exactly 22 catties!
Liu Da happily smiled and said: "Haha, Lord Hou, this time the 'Sweet Potato King' will definitely fall to my family!"

At this moment, Liu Dacheng also stood up: "Liu Da, you said this too early, we haven't commented yet! Look at me!"

Liu Dacheng then took his sweet potatoes out of the basket and put them in the basket.

Zheng San held the weight in one hand, and lifted the basket with Liu Dacheng in the other hand!

"Haha, 23.5 catties!" Liu Dacheng exclaimed happily!
"Wow, it's too heavy. The sweet potatoes from Muramasa's house are really amazing!"

"Muramasa, you will definitely win this time!"

The villagers also weighed their own sweet potatoes, and many of them were willing to be inferior.

Yang Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Uncle, your sweet potato will definitely not be in the top three, but if you want to win the 'King of Sweet Potato', I'm afraid you have to wait!"

Sure enough, the villager Wang Xiazi woke up. His right eye was shot blind by a Turkic bow and arrow. Everyone forgot his real name for a while, and everyone called him Wang Xiazi!
"Master Hou, my family's sweet potatoes are probably a little bit heavier than those of Murasa's family, but they just don't look as good-looking!" Wang Xiazi slowly exposed the baskets behind him, and there were two huge ones in each basket. Indeed, these two sweet potatoes are too ugly to look at, and everyone joked for a while!

"Haha, Blind Wang, you are ugly, and the sweet potatoes you grow look like crooked melons!"

"Blind Wang, how can such an ugly sweet potato be judged, let's pick it back!"

Blind Wang blushed so much that his neck was thick, and a few words popped out of his mouth: "Don't look at my sweet potato looks like me, but this taste is amazing, sweet!"

Everyone cleaned up Blind Wang again, but the selection was still going on!

Zheng San's weighing mound moved from the original scale several times in a row, and then he said in surprise: "Ah, this sweet potato weighs 26 catties! It's really too big! Weigh another one!"

The weight of the second sweet potato also reached 25.5 catties!
Everyone is silent now, what do you dare to say about this weight?

"Okay, Uncle Wang, you planted sweet potatoes well, fertilized them well, and watered them frequently, that's why they grow so big! We all want to learn from you!" Yang Zheng admired sincerely.

Blind Wang grinned honestly, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth!

Now that three sweet potatoes have been weighed in a row, people are silent, everyone knows that they are not as good as others, so they just keep silent!
At this moment, Li Dapao said: "Master Hou, please call my sweet potato!" Then he brought out the basket behind him!

What a big sweet potato!Yang Zheng couldn't help but gasped!Absolute sweet potato boutique ah!It is roughly round, with no insect eyes or holes in the whole body, ruddy in color, and the meat quality is very good!

After the weighing, the whole audience burst into applause!
29.5 pounds!
The absolute sweet potato king!Of course, Yang Zheng's 30-pound sweet potato was not used for the evaluation, so this sweet potato is the king of sweet potatoes. Li Dapao is really good at cleaning the crops. Whether it is vegetables, fruits, or sweet potatoes, it is better than other plants. Excellent first class.So it seems that the rural work is the same, but in essence there are still some tricks!Among other things, the soil in the field of Li Dapao's house is soft, there is no hardened mud at all, and Li Dapao soaks in his own field all day long.
Yang Zheng looked at the scene, and then said, "Is there anyone out there to judge? If not, I will announce the ranking!"

Everyone was silent.

Yang Zheng said: "Okay, now I will announce the results of this sweet potato king selection: Uncle Li's sweet potato won the title of 'Sweet Potato King'!"

Everyone applauded enthusiastically again, and Li Dapao raised his hands excitedly. At this moment, he felt that his usual hard work was worth it!
Li Dapao took away a strong raw cow, Wang Xiazi got a raw sheep, Liu Dacheng also got a raw pig, and the three of them were naturally beaming.

Yang Zheng looked at everyone's disappointed looks, and said, "Everyone will have prizes for participating in the competition this time. You have won commemorative prizes, and each of you will be rewarded with a big white goose!"

Everyone cheered: "Thank you Sir!"

After everyone ate the yams and duck eggs and left satisfied, Yang Zheng looked at the huge pile of big sweet potatoes and smirked endlessly. Nima, a few sweet potatoes that were not eaten by mountaineering actually ran to Datang and multiplied. With so many big guys, space, what surprises can you give me?
