Chapter 524 525 Good luck
Chu Yuhao smiled and waved his hand, "Jiahe, don't learn from those old fried dough sticks, you know how to compliment me all day long. No one knows about sweet potatoes in Dayong. If Mrs. Li didn't have a discerning eye, sweet potatoes would still be raised as flowers. ."
Hearing Chu Yuhao complimenting Li Yu, Zhou Jia was also very happy, "Madam, she is lucky."
Chu Yuhao glanced at Zhou Jia with a smile, "Jiahe's luck is also very good."
"What you said is." Zhou Jia glanced at Li Yu who was picking up sweet potatoes after him, and smiled proudly.
Chu Yuhao asked Li Yu who was picking up sweet potatoes behind him, "Mrs. Li, when will you start digging winter sweet potatoes after you finish digging spring sweet potatoes?"
Li Yu said with a smile: "We will be able to dig winter sweet potatoes in two months. The yield of winter sweet potatoes is a bit worse than that of spring sweet potatoes."
Chu Yuhao said with satisfaction: "Having such a half harvest is not bad, I wonder if there are other ways to eat this sweet potato?"
Li Yu smiled and said, "The master said that sweet potatoes can also be made into dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato flour... and the sweet potato flour made in hot pot tastes good too."
Hearing Li Yu mention her master, Chu Yuhao was very curious about Li Yu's master who saw the head but not the tail, and thought that it would be good to meet once.
"When they are planted in large quantities, please teach them to make some and try them out."
"Okay, when the output is large, I will make it for you to taste."
Zhou Jia followed Chu Yuhao for a while. Seeing that he was sweating, he hurriedly said to him, "Third Master, would you like to go for a walk on Zhuangzi and see Jingui by the lotus pond?"
The sun is so hot that people can't stand it. Chu Yuhao responded readily, "Okay, let's go for a walk."
After Zhou Jia followed Chu Yuhao out of the sweet potato field, Li Yu asked Han San to bring a few tenants to the field to start working.
Li Yu looked at the sweet potato that was cut off by Chu Yuhao, smiled and shook his head, took some of the sweet potato back, and went to the kitchen, Aunt He smiled and said to Li Yu, "Madam, I bought two perch and came back. Steamed, made pepper chicken, roasted duck with taro, small crispy pork...all of these are some homely flavors, do you think it's okay?"
Li Yu took a look at the dishes they prepared, thinking that Chu Yuhao and his son were in the palace, eating shark fins and sea cucumbers. Occasionally eat these to change the taste, maybe there is a different flavor.
Pointing to the sweet potatoes in the bamboo basket, he said to the two of them, "Aunt He, grab some millet, add sweet potatoes and old pumpkins, boil a pot of sweet potato and pumpkin porridge in a clay pot, steam some, and add a stir-fried **** moss. to make."
Sister Zhang took the bamboo basket with a smile, "It's the most suitable for cooking porridge on a coal ball stove."
"Okay, you can figure it out! I'll go pick some grapes in the yard and come back."
Li Yu took the fruit basket, went to the grape trellis, picked the shiny black grapes and cut a basket, looked at the two grape trellis, full of grapes, thought of the wine, took the bamboo basket back to the house, looked for After picking up a basket, he carried it back to the grape trellis and began to cut the grapes to make wine.
Chu Yao, wearing a coarse cloth jacket, stood on the ridge and watched a few edamame fish in the ditch for a while. He followed Yangyang to chase dragonflies for a while, and drank water for dung beetles for a while, and had a lot of fun.
The two servants stood behind, looking at the white and tender His Royal Highness, wearing a coarse cloth jacket, like a farmer child, cheering, and worrying about going back to the palace later, how to explain to the empress dowager.
A few people played under a large locust tree and sat on the stone bench to rest. Chu Yao said to Yang Yang, "Yang Yang, would you like to come to the palace to study with me?"
"I'm already studying at the Lin family's clan school! I have two very good classmates there, are you not playing with us? Why don't you come to the Lin clan school and study with us!"
"My grandmother and my mother will not agree with me to study outside, and besides, I have to learn a lot," Chu Yao looked at Yang Yang and said, "There is a master in the palace to teach us to study, and the master is the most learned person in the world. There are also General Shen and Wang Nei who taught me to ride and shoot, we can go to the school grounds to ride horses and shoot arrows, and we can also make bows and arrows and weapons by ourselves.”
Hearing that he could shoot on horseback and make bows and arrows, Yang Yang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't bear to part with Lin Haoran and Lin Sen. He looked at Chu Yao and said, "Can you talk to your father and agree with Lin Haoran and Lin Sen? Lin Sen will go to your house to study together?"
Chu Yao thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I can reply to you when I go back and discuss it with Daddy."
Zhou Jia and Chu Yuhao searched around, only to find a few people sitting under the locust tree to enjoy the shade under the locust tree.
Chu Yuhao saw his son, who was wearing a sackcloth jacket and sitting against the locust tree, and laughed, "Yaoer, is it fun to play with Chenxi?"
"It's fun," Chu Yao pointed to the small fish and shrimp in the wooden basin, "Dad, these are the little loach and the others. They gathered them in the ditch with a sack. We also caught dragonflies and filled the dung beetles."
Chu Yuhao glanced at the little loachs standing by the side respectfully, "Jiahe, are these children brought over from Yunzhou?"
Zhou Jia nodded, "Yes, the other children are on Zhuangzi. Mr. Liu was hired and a small steward was left there to manage Zhuangzi and those old people and children."
Chu Yuhao nodded and said, "The people who manage Zhuangzi should be chosen well. I'm afraid that those Zhuangtou will abuse those old people and children with that little power in their hands."
"Yes, that's why I hired Mr. Liu and Yang Wei to manage Yunzhou's Zhuangzi together, so that they can restrain each other, and I also asked Manager Chu Feng to help supervise."
Chu Yuhao nodded, looked at the sky and reached out to Chu Yao, "Come on, it's time for us to return."
A group of people returned to Zhuangzi. Aunt He and the others had already prepared their meals. Chu Yao and Yang Yang ate sweet potatoes and drank thick sweet potato, pumpkin and millet porridge. Both children thought it tasted good.
Chu Yuhao ate some of the same food. Seeing that Chu Yao ate two bowls of porridge, two pancakes, and some vegetables without being persuaded, he felt that the child had to move a lot before he had an appetite to eat.
After resting for a while, he was about to leave for the city. Li Yu asked Zhaocai to carry the grapes in the basket to the car and walked back together.
Chu Yuhao and Chu Yao sat down in the car, Chu Yuhao looked at his blushing face and asked with a smile, "Have you had a good time today!"
Chu Yao nodded happily, "Well! Dad, the countryside is more fun than the palace, and the things they play are also very interesting. I like to play with me with Yangyang. Dad, can I come out to play in the future?"
"Yaoer, you know it's not easy for us to come out once. You are the Crown Prince of Dayong, and you have your responsibilities."
"Oh!" Chu Yao replied with his head lowered.
The group entered the city at dusk, and Chu Yuhao asked the guards to inform Li Yu and his wife that they did not have to go straight back to the mansion.
The two teams separated on the East Street, and went back to each other. Chu Yao returned to the palace and told the queen mother what they had seen and heard today.
The Queen Mother looked at her grandson who was much more lively and happily said to Chu Yuhao, "It seems that Yao'er likes to play with Zhou Da's son, so let him go to the palace to study with him!"
Chu Yuhao smiled and said, "My son has already mentioned it to Jiahe, let him discuss it with Mrs. Li."
The Queen Mother nodded, "Okay, let's go see your daughter-in-law! If she's sick, let her come out to get some sunshine and get down to earth."
Chu Yuhao bowed and said, "Yes, I made you worry."
