Chapter 178 Digging Sweet Potatoes and Potatoes
On the second day, in the early morning, one after another, people came to the village head's house with their affairs, and waited for the village head to count the people. Good guy, the original 20 or so households almost doubled in number. This time more than 30 people came, Zheng Daming, the eldest son of Mr. Zheng, was the first to come.

Last night his father told him about the benefits of this sweet potato. Seeing so many people today, he immediately became vigilant. What if the number of sweet potatoes is so small that there are so many people?But that's already the case, so I can only follow the village head to Yun's house first.

As for Yunxi, she was woken up early by Mrs. Zhao, knowing that today was a big event, Yunxi didn't stay in bed, got dressed, got up and washed, and asked her mother to tie two small ropes for herself. Li Wanrou was still in Yunxi. A pair of identical beaded flowers are pinned to the two small handles of Xixi. The style of beaded flowers is very simple, which is especially suitable for Yunxi.

After Yunxi finished cleaning up and had breakfast, the village chief also came with his people. Yuntian also had tasks to do today. Today, it was not only as simple as digging sweet potatoes, but also told about potatoes and corn. The task of the other two kinds of food was given to him, the only scholar at home.

Yunyi Yunbo's task today is to dig sweet potatoes with everyone. One of them digs sweet potatoes, the other digs potatoes. Of course, they also accidentally exposed the corn. At that time, it will be Yuntian who will play tricks. Ahhh, science popularization.

Yunxi looked at the uncle she knew in the yard, but she didn't recognize her. She stood quietly beside Mrs. Zhao, waiting for her grandfather to talk to the village chief.

After confirming that no one came, Yunxi led the crowd towards the sweet potato field.

When they arrived at the place, everyone saw a large area of ​​green vines, probably because they were wild, they grew everywhere, and there were some weeds mixed with them. After Yunxi told the village chief, Tang Ye, it was no longer a problem. , the rest will be handed over to my grandparents and father, second uncle and third uncle, and then I will leave with my eldest sister and second sister.

Yunxi suddenly remembered that after she let the dumplings go yesterday, she never saw her again. It’s been a whole night, and she doesn’t know where the dumplings are now. It happened that the elder sister was going to collect firewood at home, and the second sister was going to cut the pigs. Grass, Yunxi simply released his mental strength to look for Tuanzi.

On the other side, the village chief has already arranged for people to dig sweet potatoes, and old man Yun is also watching. More than 30 men used tools without going up, and scattered in all directions, trying to dig the sweet potatoes that grow on the ground first. Pull out the vine to have a look.

Zheng Daming spotted a spot right away. Looking at this location, it was the place where Yunxi and the others got it out yesterday. With the strength of his hands, a sweet potato was pulled out of the ground by Zheng Daming with roots and soil. More than a dozen sweet potatoes came out of the root, each as big as an adult's palm.

Although Zheng Daming heard what his father said, he was even more shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. This vine has grown so much, and almost an acre of land is covered with that sweet potato. How much does it have to be?What's more, he saw that there were still some broken ones on the root, and there must be some sweet potatoes that were broken directly into the soil because they were too big. How much would there be if the ones in the soil were added?

Zheng Daming immediately came back to his senses, carefully put the sweet potatoes pulled out in his hand, squatted down without any tools, and started digging with his hands, and then dug out sweet potatoes one by one from the soil until seven or eight were dug out. Sweet potatoes, Zheng Daming's face was full of excitement.

God!What kind of species is this sweet potato that can grow so many!If I knew it was edible and tasted so good, would my mother and little sister have survived?
Thinking of this, Zheng Daming's excited expression suddenly became sad. He and his father came here fleeing famine, and the government arranged for them to settle in Yunjia Village. , I starved myself to death. At that time, I didn't even know that sweet potatoes could fill my stomach.

As for his younger sister, they were still young at that time. The younger sister was only eight or nine years old. She didn't eat anything at all, and later she caught a cold. She didn't eat anything and had no medicine.

Zheng Daming suddenly knelt down on the ground, hugged the sweet potato in his hand, and burst into tears. If he had known, if he had known, his mother and younger sister would not have died.

At this moment, Zheng Daming finally understood why his father paid so much attention to it. If sweet potatoes were planted, no one would be hungry again in the event of a drought with this output, and the relatives around them would not eat it just to save a bite. Yes, Shengsheng starved himself to death, his father didn't want the tragedy to repeat itself.

The village chief was the closest to Zheng Daming, and when he heard the movement, he immediately understood what was going on, so he comforted Zheng Daming a few words, and continued watching after seeing that Zheng Daming had recovered.

And the rest of the family also discovered the production of sweet potatoes, and all of them were excited, and their faces turned red.A person accidentally broke a sweet potato with a hoe, and the soil immediately stained the broken sweet potato. This person was so distressed that he didn't dare to use the hoe anymore. He threw away the tool and started digging it up with his hands. .

Originally, there were people who wanted to dig with tools. Seeing this scene, they didn’t need it anymore. They threw away the tools and started digging with their hands. The village chief who saw this scene wanted to say a few words. Seeing that everyone didn’t need it Tool, also will not say anything.

Old man Yun didn't move, his sons could do it, but seeing that everyone was busy digging, they didn't get the sweet potatoes off the vines, so they just picked a few more people for his cousin, picked the sweet potatoes off the vines, and gathered them together. Go to a place, so that after digging out all the sweet potatoes, you will know the exact number.

The village chief immediately ordered a few people to pick the sweet potatoes off the vines. During the period, Yuntian also said that the sweet potato vines can be fed to pigs. put away.

Until one person dug out the potatoes and found that the things he dug up were different from the ones he had dug up before, so he asked immediately. Yun Tian knew that it was time for him to play, so he hurried over, and the village head and old man Yun also walked over to that person around.

Yun Tian took the potato from the opponent's hand, pretending to identify it carefully, and then suddenly realized: "This thing is like a sweet potato, and it is also a kind of extra food. It is called a potato in the book. This potato can be eaten as a vegetable or stir-fried. It can also be eaten steamed, and the taste may be a little worse than that of sweet potatoes, but it is also very filling."

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar!
At this moment, a voice said: "Oh, I just dug up this thing. I thought it was inedible, so I threw it aside, and quickly picked it up."

"I dug it up too. I also said that this thing is different from a sweet potato. It looks like a lump of soil. I also threw it aside. After hearing what Yun Xiucai said, I realized that this thing is also edible!"

"Oh! I didn't expect that there are so many treasures growing in this mountain forest that we have never been to."

"No, I, Yunfei, have lived for so many years, and I have never seen such things called sweet potatoes and soil. Potatoes. The yield of these sweet potatoes really shocked me."

At this time, another voice asked: "Hey, Yun Xiucai, do you think this thing can be eaten? I've never seen it before!"
