Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen

Chapter 261 - 261: Announcing the High Yield of Grain



Occasionally, there would be people from Jian Village passing by. When they saw people discussing the matter, they could not help but step forward to listen.

They kept this secret in their hearts. Every time they heard someone question them, they had to hold back and tell the truth. Their faces were red, but there was also a sense of excitement. They wished that the day when the crops matured and the truth came out. Seeing the surprised expressions of the people in front of them, it must be very satisfying.

With this thought in mind, they raised their heads and strode away with their heads held high. The people passing by all looked at them with a strange gaze, then shook their heads.

This was because after Jian Qingqing had promoted tomatoes last year, this year, tomatoes could be seen everywhere on the streets.

Moreover, there were many ways to eat the tomatoes that they made, which simply amazed Jian Qingqing.

In addition to the traditional way of eating, there were also people who steamed the tomatoes and rice together, or dug out the core of the tomatoes and put the meat in to steam. In any case, there were all kinds of different kinds.

Jian Qingqing timely launched the tomato sauce, and spread the tomato sauce on the bread to have a different flavor.

Some people could not buy bread, so they used steamed buns instead. Anyway, there were many tomatoes, almost every household had them, and it was not difficult to make them. After the tomato sauce was spread on them, they tasted much better than dry steamed buns.

Tomatoes grew fast, and there were many of them. This also became a crop that many people liked to grow.

With the arrival of summer, the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn had all matured. The people of Jian Village had been living in fear for the past few months. They were afraid that the crops would not grow well and that they would not be able to produce food.

Seeing that they were growing bigger and bigger day by day, they were extremely excited. They could still see the corn growing out, but the sweet potatoes and potatoes grew underground. They could not see anything at all. They were also afraid that there would not be anything growing down there, they wanted to dig it out every day to take a look.

In the past month, they could ask Jian Qingqing ten times a day when the crops would ripen. Jian Qingqing was simply afraid of them, but she could not ignore them. She could only answer over and over again, saying that she was bald.

Now that they had finally waited for it to ripen, they were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.

On this day, a major event happened in Shifeng County. The entire county’s people were boiling.

Ming Zhiyan had asked all the village chiefs to gather in the county office, he had a major announcement to make.

All the village chiefs came to the county office with unusual trepidation. Because this was the first time they had been called by the county magistrate, they had all arrived early. Before dawn, almost everyone had gathered outside the county office.

“Tell me, why did the magistrate call us here?”

“It can’t be conscription, right?”

“It can’t be. In the past, conscription was always notified by the officials.”

“Then what is it? For so many years, there has never been a case of the county magistrate calling us to the county office.”

“In the past, we didn’t even know what the county magistrate looked like. Now it’s different. He often goes to the countryside to see us plant things. He has been to our village twice. In the beginning, I was very scared. I didn’t expect that the county magistrate was very easy to talk to. He didn’t put on airs, and even went down to the ground to work with us! He looks cold, but I didn’t expect him to be so nice!”

“So it shouldn’t be a bad thing for Master Ming to call us here, right? What if he has some good news to tell us? After all, we’ve had a lot better life since he’s been here for more than a year.”

These village chiefs kept guessing, but they could not come up with a conclusion.

The village chief of Jian Family Village proudly stood to the side and raised his head slightly. If he had a tail, his tail would have been raised to the sky!

A village chief who knew him asked, “Old Jian, do you know what it is?”
