The potatoes in Sima Ke’s back garden finally reached a good harvest.

On this day, the sun shone brightly.

Sima Ke personally led Chen Jin, Xiao Cui, Xiao Yun and four trusted child servants to dig up potatoes. More than 30 potatoes were almost dug out with a shovel, and then carefully removed the soil at the roots and carefully picked the huge and plump potatoes one by one.

This newly developed high-yield potato species has an amazing yield. A potato seedling can produce thirty or forty kilograms of potatoes. A thousand kilograms of potatoes were dug out in about one cent of the land, and a pile of them piled up in the back garden like a hill.

Although Chen Jin and others had seen Sima Ke's novelty in planting bean sprouts and making tofu, they were deeply shocked when they saw such a large pile of fruit-like things produced in such a small piece of land.

Xiao Cui looked at Sima Ke with admiration and asked carefully: "Mr. Lang, what is this? Can it be eaten?"

Sima Ke smiled, picked two, and handed them to her, "But when raising the fire, put them in the firewood ashes, simmer for a stick of incense, peel them and eat them. You and Xiaoyun each have to make the rest. You should make grain seeds, store them in the warehouse, and wait for next spring to choose a place to sow the seeds."

Xiao Cui and Xiao Yun couldn't help but have bright eyes and smiled like flowers. They were very excited. Their husband had a tinker with jade bean sprouts and Penglai white jade tofu last time, and it became popular all over the city. Those men of the aristocratic families were like noble gods to their servants, but they were unable to taste it.

The fruit planted by the young master now will inevitably become the immortal creature in the mouths of those men. I didn’t expect that the two of them would taste it first, so how could they not be excited?

Chen Jin and four strong child servants also showed envious expressions.

Sima Ke thought about it, took five more, handed them to Xiao Cui and said, "If you see them, you can cook them together and eat them together. You must not reveal them, otherwise you will be punished."

When the four servants heard this, they were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Even Chen Jin smiled happily.

Sima Ke smiled and said, "This thing needs to be used as grain. It will take one or two years to stay. You will have as much food as you want."

After saying that, everyone asked them to pick the potatoes one by one, wipe off the large pieces of soil, pile them up, and then put them on the ground of an empty warehouse for two days. The cellar used to store wine and ice was cleaned out, and after the potatoes were dried, they were put in, and then they chose a place to plant them next spring.

At the same time, Sima Ke asked Chen Jin to prepare some charcoal and put it in the cellar to absorb the moisture in the cellar and extend the shelf life of the potatoes. In this way, the preserved potatoes will not sprout even in half a year.

After spending most of the day, I finally sorted out all the potatoes and put them in the warehouse.

Sima Ke also instructed Chen Jin to dry the mountain-stacked potato seedlings for two days to feed cattle. In addition to high yields, this newly developed and improved potato seedlings has another improvement, which greatly reduces the content of solanin. Solanin is already very low. If it is dried for a few more days, the poison of solanin will be minimal and almost negligible.

At this time, Xiao Cui wrapped seven baked potatoes in cloth and ran over excitedly, and distributed a baked potato to everyone.

With a pilgrimage-like expression, the seven people carefully took the potatoes, carefully peeled off the skin, and took a light bite. The pink, sweet and refreshing feeling made the seven people feel like they were eating immortals, and kept calling them "True Fragrance", and they were full of praise.

Sima Ke smiled faintly and said to Chen Jin: "Preserve this grain and do not be stolen. If you wait for it to be planted in a wide range in the future, you will get as much as you want to eat."

Chen Jin's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "If such an immortal thing is to be sold for more than three times the price of rice and grain, the man will be very rich!"

Sima Ke: "..."

This man planted potatoes not to make a fortune, but to make all Han people all over the world have enough food.

The autumn colors are getting darker and the severe winter season is approaching.

There are golden fallen leaves floating everywhere on the streets of Jiankang City, while the maple trees in the city have turned red. Outside Jiankang City, there are even more forests, and all the mountains are red, especially Qixia Mountain.

In this fiery autumn season, a great event was also welcomed at Sima Ke’s mansion.

After some search, Chen Jin finally helped Sima Ke find a good house. In fact, Sima Ke didn't need a very big house. After all, he was the only master in the mansion. He had no descendants, so the east and west wing rooms were empty; there were no women's relatives, and the backyard was also empty; the flower hall was a little smaller and could not entertain many guests; and the back garden was too small.

But he was a senior member of the third rank of the right. In the entire Jiankang City, there were only more than 30 senior members of the third rank of the right and above. Indeed, the original small house did not match his status. What Sima Ke was most concerned about was the back garden. After turning it into the vegetable field, Sima Ke had no place to practice.

The newly built house is near Donglimen. Since Jiankang City has no walls, the area in the ancient city is much wider than that of ordinary cities. The area near Donglimen is even flat and wider. High-gate families like to build wide luxury houses here. Although their reputation is not as good as Wuyi Lane, it is the largest aristocratic residential area in Jiankang City. Most of the princes, ministers, and children of the royal family also buy houses here.

This house was purchased by Chen Jin from the Chu family. The original owner was Situ, the Marquis of Duting, Chu Qi, and Xie An's brother-in-law.

This house is more than three times larger than the existing house. In addition to the east and west wing rooms, the backyard and the main room, there are two more courtyards on both sides, and the flower hall is several times larger. What made Sima Ke most happy was that the back garden covers an area of ​​more than one acre. Not only are the garden full of various strange flowers and plants, but there is also a large enough open space as a place to practice.

Such a large house is worth at least five million yuan, but the Chu family has been slandering, but only three million yuan is charged.

In the Chu family, the house is valuable, but General Longxiang's face is even more valuable. With Xie An's recommendation, the Chu family was extremely grateful for being selected as Yulin Lang at one time. It is better to take the opportunity to climb the big tree of General Longxiang than anything else.

In fact, Chu Qi belonged to the Situ Mansion, and should have belonged to the Wang Dao faction. Therefore, although Chu Qi was quite moved about Xie An's recommendation, he was still worried and did not dare to visit Sima Ke for a long time. After all, this meant betraying Wang Dao. Until he saw the gentry in Jiangdong, he showed goodwill to Sima Ke, Chu Qi finally stopped hesitating and went to see Sima Ke in person.

Sima Ke had a fair impression of Chu Qi, but because it was recommended by Xie An and he was an exception, he attached great importance to it, and gave the Chu family four Yulin Langs.

After nearly ten days of relocation, Sima Ke finally moved into his new house.

Especially the potatoes in the cellar, Sima Ke personally carried the ox cart for transportation, and was relieved after seeing all the potatoes being put into the new cellar.

After purchasing the new house, Chen Jing had already done some rest in advance, repairing the places that should be repaired, painting the places that should be sprayed, and replacing the places that should be replaced. When Sima Ke moved in, he was completely refreshed.

The plaque at the door was also completely renewed.

"Liyang County Hou Mansion".

The four large golden words look particularly dazzling.
