Seeing her, Qin Mu's eyes softened. "Xiao Yu, I can take you to the yamen now, but these brothers said they're only enough to plant one acre."
What I mean is, you should bring as much as possible.
If these things are to be planted on government land, some people in the government office need to know about them.
So, it's hard to say, you might have to cook a few dishes for the government office.
The main topic is the various ways to cook potatoes.
How is it used as a vegetable, or as a staple food? And how does it taste?
"What do you think a fish in a pond is?" he nodded upon hearing this.
"Okay, but I don't have much left. Besides these, there's only about ten or twenty pounds left in the room."
I can take out ten pounds and make all sorts of food from it.
Each way of cooking it is something you can try, just to get a taste. The rest, I'll save for you to have a taste.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu's lips curled into a smile, and he said cheerfully:
"In that case, let's go now."
Ah Kai, hurry and go call County Lieutenant Wang and County Magistrate Zheng back.
I'll have someone call Registrar Lin again in a bit."
In any case, all the leaders in Anping County need to be called upon.
What Xiaoyu takes out must be known to everyone!

Since the earthquake, Fang Shizhong has been sleeping past midnight and waking up at dawn the next day.
You could say he's busy as a spinning top every day, constantly on the go.
Spring plowing is not yet over, the people's houses are not yet built, and the county examination is about to begin.
Unfortunately, due to various resource shortages, the candidates' examination rooms have not yet been built.
This left him with no time to even oversee the construction of the outer city wall.
Just then, news broke that Qi Mingyu from Qijia Village had actually contracted the plague.
An epidemic has broken out in Anping County!
Thinking about this made him furious.
This fool was going to Anning County before. He had someone tell him that things weren't peaceful there and that he should think twice before he went.
He insisted on going, and then, a few days after returning, he contracted the plague.
How infuriating! How did someone with such a brain even pass the imperial examination and become a scholar?
If he were to pass the provincial examination and become a Jinshi and an official, how could Da Chu possibly fare well?
While handling official business, Fang Shizhong was distracted by how to deal with Qi Mingyu when he suddenly heard the voice of Constable Lü coming from the doorway.
"My lord, Master Mu is here!"
Upon hearing that it was Qin Mu who had come, Fang Shizhong put down his pen and ink and stretched.
"Let him in!"
Qin Mu didn't come alone; he was followed by Chi Yu and Chi Dahu, a brother and sister pair.
Moreover, after they entered the study, a familiar set of footsteps came from the doorway.
Then, Officer Lü called out, "Lord Lin!"
Lin, the registrar, hurriedly entered the room and saw two round baskets on the ground.
At this moment, Fang Shizhong's gaze naturally fell on the two baskets of things.
"Amu, what's this?"
"Sir, this is a high-yield crop grown by the small fish. It can be eaten as a vegetable or as a meal. It is called potato, also known as yam."
While its yield isn't as high as sweet potatoes, it's still much higher than wheat, rice, and sorghum.
As Qin Mu spoke, he added a sentence after Fang Shizhong and Lin Zhubu had both gathered around to look at the potato:
"Sir, there are many ways to cook potatoes. I'm going back to Chijia'ao tomorrow and want to bring these over so that the officials can try planting them."
In addition, she will also show you how to eat potatoes.
Let's head to the kitchen first!
