Chapter 214 Sweet Potatoes
When I was in Qiganling, I went into the forest every day to collect wild vegetables, but now I have a sequelae. When I see green plants, my first thought is whether I can eat them.

Besides, the food that everyone received in Changning City was not much, and the rapeseed in the field still wanted to be squeezed for oil, so the women started gathering wild vegetables again during this period.

Suddenly seeing such a large green plant at this moment, Xue Ruyun was also ecstatic.

While talking, he ran down the hillside, took two pieces of gargle and stuffed them into his mouth.

After chewing a bit, she nodded.

"You can eat it, you can eat it, although it is a bit slippery, but it must not be poisonous, Xiaoxue, come and try it?"

After speaking, he pulled off a clean young leaf tip, and handed it to Xiao Ningxue.

Xiao Ningxue took it over and looked at it, then stared at the plant and looked left and right, and then said with certainty: "Sweet potatoes, it must be sweet potatoes!"

"I remember Awen said that there is a kind of fragrant and sweet food in the Western Regions called sweet potatoes. It is vine-shaped, with round and pointed leaves, exactly the same as this plant."

"Really?" Xue Ruyun rushed over with joy on her face, pulled up the vines and stared at them with wide eyes, "Where's the melon? Why didn't you see it?"

Xiao Ning gave her a snowy look, "Sweet potatoes, as the name suggests, must grow underground." After speaking, he dug up a bag of sweet potatoes, and soon pulled out a big and strong red-skinned sweet potato from the ground Come.

"Dig it out, it really is a sweet potato."

After a burst of amazement, Xiao Ningxue took the dagger in Xue Ruyun's hand, and peeled off a thin layer of the muddy skin, revealing the yellow sweet potato flesh.

Kacha~ Xiao Ningxue took a beautiful bite, and began to chew with gusto, amazed while chewing.

'Delicious, sweet and crunchy, so delicious.'

"Give me a taste." Xue Ruyun looked at it so much that her saliva was about to flow out, Xiao Ningxue hurriedly cut off a piece and gave it to her.

After Xue Ruyun tasted it, she was so excited that tears almost fell down.

"This? Is this fruit? Why is it so sweet?"
Xiao Ningxue couldn't answer this question either. Is this a fruit or a vegetable? It seems that the north and the south are called differently. The south is called sweet potato, while the north is called sweet potato.

"It's really sweet. Ah Wen said it can be used to boil sugar."

"Not only can you boil sugar, but you can also make food similar to vermicelli."

"But it's too wasteful to be worthwhile."

Xue Ruyun didn't listen to Xiao Ningxue's nonsense at all, and excitedly digged into the ground like a wild boar, digging out a big pile in a short while.

"There are so many, Xiaoxue, go back and pick baskets, I'll dig here."

"Okay." Xiao Ningxue then went home to pick baskets, but on the way, she turned left and right, and planted many sweet potatoes in several ravines with her thoughts.

With the upgrading of the space, she no longer needs people to go in, and she can use her mind to take things out of it, and whatever you think about the things that are taken out, it will appear in whatever form.

For example, these sweet potatoes, if you want the sweet potatoes to be in the soil and the vines to be outside, then when they appear in the real world, they will be planted directly in the ground. This will be much more convenient, at least not suspicious.

Xiao Ningxue returned to the village after some operations.

When he saw a woman busy in the field halfway, he raised his voice and yelled in surprise.

"Uncle and aunt, hurry up and dig sweet potatoes over there. There are a lot of sweet potatoes in the valley over there."

"It's delicious. Ah Wen said it was something only in the Western Regions. It probably lost its seeds here and grew a lot." After hearing this, the women were ecstatic, regardless of what sweet potatoes were, they carried them Picking up the hoe, he ran towards what Xiao Ningxue pointed at.

At this time, Wang Fugui and others who had gone to the city to buy farm tools and food came back dejectedly.

Seeing them returning empty-handed, Wang Yonggui felt chills in his heart.

"What's the matter? Can't buy food?"
Wang Fugui said angrily, "Those aliens are too black-hearted. Seeing us Central Plains people buying grain, they insisted on raising the price by three or four times. How can they afford it?"

No one is farming in this kind of place, and the rice and noodles are all bought from the Central Plains. The price is not cheap, and the drought in the first year is even more so.

This car has to raise the price to deceive people, isn't it amazingly high?
Wang Yonggui tapped his bong helplessly. These aliens could not tolerate people from the Central Plains in the first place, so it is not surprising that they did such a thing.

After thinking for a while, he turned his gaze to the rapeseed field on the mountain.

"There are still so many rapeseed, I won't die of hunger."

"It's a big deal if you don't eat oil for a year, you can always carry it through."

"Tomorrow, a group of people will come out and go up the mountain to cut the rapeseed and dry it in the sun. It will bloom in a few days, and it won't be able to eat it when it's old."

Wang Fugui looked distressed, "It's about to bloom, it's a pity."

"What can I do? It's important to save lives first."

After a moment of silence, Wang Yonggui glanced worriedly at the carriage.

"Are you able to buy farm tools?" If you can't buy these things, how can you plow the land?
"I got it." Wang Fugui replied, and then told everyone to take the hoes and hatchets they bought and move them under the car in bundles. "This thing is easy to buy, and the price is fair."

This place is far away from the Central Plains, and many aristocratic families secretly mine iron ore.

There are a lot of iron shops on the street, knives, daggers, etc., you can buy them casually.

Many iron shop owners aimed at the business opportunities and made a lot of hoes and hatchets, which were specially used to sell to the Central Plains people, so they did not increase the price.

"Just buy farm tools."

Looking at the bundles of farm tools, Wang Yonggui's expression softened a lot.

If you can’t buy rice, that’s all. Farm tools are the most important thing. How can you farm without farm tools? This is the essence of being a farmer!
After the farm tools were moved, Wang Yonggui found that he had bought a lot of sickles, and Wang Fugui and the others happened to be idle and had nothing to do, so he confessed to them.

"You go up the mountain to cut rapeseed, cut it back earlier, it will be more or less tender."

"Okay, father." Wang Yonggui agreed, and led a group of middle-aged and young men up the mountain with sickles.

On the way back, Xiao Ningxue saw Wang Fugui leading a group of people, waving a sickle on the mountain, and the budding rapeseed was cut down, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"Brother Fugui, why are you cutting rapeseed? It's about to bloom.

Wang Fugui straightened his back and said with a wry smile: "The food in the city is one tael of silver a catty. I can't afford it. I can only rely on these rapeseed to survive."

Xiao Ningxue secretly thought that it was okay, luckily the sweet potato was taken out of the space in time, otherwise the rapeseed would be a pity.

Busily pointing to the northeast direction, excitedly told Wang Fugui.

"No need to cut, no need to cut. We found a lot of sweet potatoes over there. They are so big, delicious, sweet and full." Xiao Ningxue made gestures while talking, deliberately using the word 'sweet potatoes' so that everyone could understand.

After all, there is a word 'melon', which reminds people of pumpkins and winter melons. All melons are edible.

So this 'sweet potato' must be a good thing.

That's exactly what Wang Fugui thought, he hurriedly told everyone to stop, and then followed Xiao Ningxue back to the village to pick baskets.

Such great good news spread throughout the village in a short while, and everyone quickly ran to the hilltop over there with baskets, wanting to see what sweet potatoes look like.
