The varieties of sweet potatoes brought by Luo Yong from later generations are red-skinned and yellow-core.
After steaming, the flesh turns orange-red, has a soft, waxy, sweet and slightly dense texture, and the yield is also very good.
This is also a new variety that gradually became popular after Luo Yong was in high school.
It is somewhat different from the sweet potatoes he ate when he was a child.
It is sweeter and has a glutinous texture than the sweet potatoes he ate when he was a child.
Sweets are very rare these days.
The sweet potatoes were harvested in the yamen this morning.
When cooking at noon that day, Luo Yong had people pick out the spoiled sweet potatoes and steam them to give the people in the county yamen a taste.
As soon as the children in the county government ate the sweet potato flavor, they all narrowed their eyes with joy.
"Is it delicious?"
some adults who didn't eat asked them.
“Yummy and sweet” “So sweet” "Yeah, it's sweeter than a pumpkin."
"Is it really a lie?"
“It’s so sweet” Those people went to look at the sweet potatoes hanging on the porch and wanted to eat them.
Unfortunately, they were all going to be kept for planting next year and they did not dare to steam them for eating.
Fortunately, the vegetable shop has recently collected a lot of pumpkins.
Today, Luo Yong also asked people to bring a few over, slice them and fry them in several large pots, and serve them as a dish for everyone.
A few miscellaneous pancakes, a spoonful of fried pumpkin, a spoonful of cold vegetables, and a few large pieces of steamed bacon.
This is today's lunch.
The miscellaneous pancakes are enough, and a large clay pot is also cooked.
The corn is mush, and anyone who wants to eat it can eat it, and there is no limit.
Luo Yong also ate the same food as everyone else, a mouthful of mixed flour pancakes and a mouthful of corn paste, and he would pick up vegetables with two chopsticks from time to time.
He ate quite well.
The so-called golden melon is also the old pumpkin.
When Li Daozong's army passed through Changle County three years ago, Luo Yong secretly stuffed a handful of pumpkin seeds into a wooden cart transporting grain and grass.
Later, these seeds fell outside Gaochang City and took root.
It sprouted and produced a pumpkin, which was called a pumpkin at that time.
This golden melon has been cultivated and multiplied on the land of Datang for two or three years.
It was not until this autumn that Luo Yong and the others were finally able to eat it.
This pumpkin has a sweet and soft texture and is very popular among local people.
Farmers often bring pumpkins to the city to sell them at the market, and the price is about twice that of winter melon.
Before the appearance of pumpkins, in addition to some leafy vegetables, the vegetables that people often ate were gourds, courgettes, luffa, winter melons, and radish.
Then gourds were gourds, courgettes were cucumbers, and radish were all.
The taste is bland and not filling.
In this environment, a sweet and glutinous pumpkin suddenly appeared, which is naturally very popular.
Nowadays, pumpkins are relatively popular in the areas of Gaochang, Dunhuang, Changle, Jinchang, and people in Chang'an also grow them, but there are relatively few in other places.
A few years ago, a plastic bag of corn seeds that Luo Yong casually hid in a public toilet in Chang'an City was well promoted.
Nowadays, many people in the south and north of China grow corn, and Luo Yong now eats a lot of cornmeal every day, mainly corn tortillas and cornmeal paste.
The price of corn here has been lower than that of corn in the past two years.
"County magistrate, what should we do with this sweet potato vine?"
After eating, a handyman asked Luo Yong.
"Move to the woodshed first, I have other uses."
Luo Yong replied.
In fact, these sweet potato vines can also be used to directly plant cuttings to plant new sweet potatoes.
However, the season is not right and winter is about to begin.

Sweet potatoes are a crop that tolerates heat and loves sunshine, so it is already difficult to grow them alive at this time.
Later generations seemed to have a technique of storing sweet potato vines from the previous year and planting them with cuttings in the coming spring, but Luo Yong didn't know much about this technique.
The promotion and cultivation of sweet potatoes is very urgent.
If we don’t want to be like pumpkins, where it will take three years for the local people to eat this vegetable, we must make great efforts to promote it.
Luo Yong plans to store these sweet potato vines in the space first, and then find an opportunity to take them out in the spring of next year.
"Go and see in the market.
If anyone has harvested sweet potatoes in the past two days, they will take back the sweet potato vines and say that I want them."
Luo Yong thought for a while and said to the handyman.
"Here."
The handyman lowered his hands and bowed.
"It's not for nothing.
Get some bacon from the warehouse and trade it for them."
The price of meat is very expensive at this time of year, and bacon is considered a good thing at this time, especially the bacon made by their workshop in the county, which tastes very good.
"One strip of bacon for each security guard," the handyman confirmed.
"Two pieces," Luo Yong said, "Tell them that it is tax collection time now and the government officials are busy and cannot spare any manpower for the moment, so let them put the collected sweet potatoes on the porch to dry for a while. , keep it in a cool place in the house, and after some time, I will send someone to teach them how to store it.”
"Here."
After receiving Luo Yong's instructions, the handyman went to the warehouse to get bacon.
In normal times, it would not be his turn to do such work, but now it is the autumn tax collection season, and all the officials in the yamen are very busy.
And because of the white flowers, there have been many merchants coming and going from Changle County recently.
The officers not only have to patrol the city, but also often have to rotate to the countryside, and the manpower is also quite tight.
The handyman came to the warehouse and told an official who was checking the warehouse about the incident, and the official asked him to go in and select bacon with him.
Because this bacon is to be given to the various security chiefs.
Although Changle County is not a big city, there are quite a few security chiefs.
There are big and small bacons, so you have to pick some of the same size and send them out.
Don’t do this when the time comes.
If one family gives you too much, then the other family gives you too little, it just makes people unhappy.
Each bag has two strips of bacon.
After selecting them, they are slightly bundled with blue-dyed twine, tied with a slip knot, and neatly placed in the basket.
Not long after, the handyman carried a load of bacon out of the county office and walked through the streets to send messages to the various security chiefs in the city to deliver the bacon.
Changle County has been quite lively recently.
There are Hu merchants passing by, merchants coming to collect Baidiehua, and many Yiwu and Gaochang people who come to buy Baidiehua seeds from them.
There are not many people growing white flowers in Gaochang, Yiwu.
Now the transportation is convenient, and they heard that the white flowers are expensive, so many people from both sides came to see what happened.
Among these people are some who are rich, some who are poor, some who go in and out of wine shops and guesthouses to sell lavish goods, and some who are shabbily dressed and sitting on the streets munching on the dry food they brought from home.
There are also some people who came specifically from Zhangye, Liangzhou, and traveled thousands of miles just to take a wooden carriage to the wilderness between Dunhuang and Gaochang to have a look at the legendary bridge.
With more people riding wooden track carriages, the income will naturally be higher, but the wear and tear of the wooden tracks is also serious.
It is expected that after winter this year, the section of wooden track from Changle County to Jinchang City will be carefully inspected and repaired from beginning to end.
Luo Yong was also very busy these days.
He had arranged the work at hand this afternoon, and had some free time, so he went to Peng Er's weaving workshop.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the workshop, I met several stewards who were leading people to transport carts and carts of white flowers into the workshop.
When I entered the workshop, I saw a steward who often followed Luo Erniang.
Directing several strong women to unload the goods, Luo Yong waved her over.
"What does the county magistrate want from me?"
The steward was busy when he was reminded by a pat on the arm by a woman next to him.
When he looked back, he saw that it was Luo Yong who was looking for her, so he walked over with a smile.

"Which village is my sister in today?"
Luo Yong asked her.
So the steward told which village Luo Erniang had arrived today, and then talked about their arrangements for the past few days.
In addition, he also talked about their life in the countryside.
The villagers respected Luo Erniang very much and entertained her very thoughtfully. , so Luo Yong doesn’t have to worry about this.
Luo Yong nodded.
He knew that Er Niang was living a good life in the countryside, and the people in the patrol team who returned from rotation also said so.
"Are you going out of the city today?"
Luo Yong asked her again.
"After unloading these goods, we have to go out."
The local and out-of-town merchants who collect white folded flowers are also working very hard, and each of them exploits the openings.
Although Erniang and the others have the advantage, they are still struggling with both fists.
With four enemies in hand, now is the critical time to acquire Bai Dihua, so they dare not slack off.
"Shan, be careful on the road."
Luo Yong said and took out a paper bag from his arms: "This is for my sister, please help me carry it over."
"Here."
The steward put the paper bag away without asking any questions.
Luo Erniang is living a good life in the countryside these days.
She has good food and housing, but she is not leisurely.
The work of picking white folded flowers requires the most labor.
In the villages where they stayed, the whole family often went to the fields to pick cotton.
The second mother doesn't just sit in the room and point out the country.
She also goes to the fields to collect goods every day.
At most, she is tired from work and looks for a shady place to sit and rest.
On this day, they were still busy all day long.
They didn't finish their work until the sun was getting dark.
After eating and washing up, a group of women sat in the house to settle accounts and talk.
Not long after, the team carrying goods into the city today also returned.
The steward leading the team handed a paper package to Er Niang, saying that it was Magistrate Luo who asked her to bring it.
Erniang happily took the paper bag, placed it on the Kang table, opened it and saw two slender sweet potatoes less than the size of a palm.
Both sweet potatoes were slightly damaged and probably wouldn't last until next spring, so Luo Yong had someone bring them to her so she could have a taste.
The Sweet Potato Lady had met this girl before.
When Apu and the others first arrived in Changle County, she went to join in the fun.
Later, Luo Yong had those sweet potatoes sprouted and sprouted sweet potato vines, which were distributed to everyone in the shop.
She also knew about it, and she often went over to see them during the days of sprouting.
"This is sweet potato, right?"
"I heard from those Kunlun people that this food is very delicious and very sweet."
"It tastes best when grilled."
"I'll get the brazier right now."
"It's too stuffy in the house, so let's go grill in the yard."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb the master
.
" ""
So this group of ladies, those who brought firewood, and those who lit the fire started roasting sweet potatoes in the yard outside the house.
Those two medium-sized sweet potatoes must not be enough to share with so many of them.

It doesn't matter.
If you can eat it, take a bite.
If you can't eat it, just smell it.
At least you will gain some knowledge.
Maybe next year, They can grow it at home. gd1806102:
