Chapter 228 228. Doing Big Things!

A cold snap took away most of the crops, and the Lin'an Mansion immediately complained.

Although the people in the city seem to have no loss on the surface without any fields, they immediately reacted to stockpile grain after the profound lesson of the snow disaster, and the shops on both sides of the main street ushered in a shopping frenzy.

As a result, food prices, which had been brought down with great difficulty due to disaster relief, doubled up again.

Elder Jiang and Fu Chenglan were so busy trying to stabilize the situation, and Shenjia Village, twenty miles away from Fucheng, was also so busy.

Rows of potato seedlings packed in wooden troughs came out of the small farmyard and headed towards the east of the village. A dozen people lined up on the road, looking from a distance as if they were doing something big.

"Of course we are doing great things!"

"If new food can be grown as Xing Luo said, we won't have to go hungry in a few months."

"Who said it wasn't? Thanks to the treasure mountain of Shennong Mountain!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, Uncle Mandun is still waiting in the field, be careful, don't hurt such a good seedling."

Those in charge of transporting the potato seedlings from Shen's house were ordinary villagers, and there were dozens of men wielding hoes in a field in the east of the village. They were members of the patrol team.

A shed was built on the ground for a temporary rest, and the sixth uncle sat under the shed with a happy expression.

"The potatoes are delicious, try them."

More than a dozen potatoes the size of eggs were boiled and cut into pieces and placed on a plate. At this time, there was still a bit of heat, which attracted the attention of the villagers.

Everyone has long been curious about the so-called new food. Seeing this, they put down the wooden trough they were holding and took a piece from the plate into their mouths one after another tentatively. The next moment, they were immediately captured by the soft and glutinous taste of the potatoes.

"Huh? This thing really fills the stomach!"

"Eat it in your mouth, the taste is really good, I'm afraid you can eat it for two pieces."

"I heard from Xingluo that these potatoes are still picked and small. If the land is good, they should be able to grow bigger!"

"Did Xing Luo say how many such seedlings can grow?"

Everyone looked at Uncle Six who was sitting firmly on the ground, and the latter casually uttered a sentence that was enough to shock the world:
"If it's good, there will be seven or eight, and if it's close to two or three."

"!"

hiss--

The villagers gasped in unison, and mechanically turned their eyes to the neatly arranged wooden troughs on the ground, where a small green seedling was fluttering in the wind.

"It's a good thing I didn't exert any strength when I put it down just now."

In this case, if you accidentally smashed or crushed a tree to death, you don't need the sixth uncle to scold him, and he can feel distressed to death.

What kind of seedling is this? It's everyone's life!

"Then what, Xingluo said that this lump of soil was dug out from the depths of Shennong Mountain?"

"That's what it said!"

"By the way, we all entered the mountain together, and the baby is right under our noses. Why did he find it alone?"

"Scholars are better at planing food than we are."

The sixth uncle was stunned when he heard the words, and almost choked on the potato in his mouth. Can you find out what the potato has to do with reading?Those who graze in your fields haven’t found any food, is it reasonable to count on a scholar now?

"Since I know I'm incompetent, why don't you go to the mountain and look for it now? What are you doing here? There's nothing like a brute force!"

The old man hates iron but not steel, they are all descendants of my Shen family, why is there such a big difference?
Everyone was sprayed and took a few steps back.

That’s not what you always said during the snow disaster, you praised them for their strength and ability to cut bandits
But the sixth uncle was right, since there is such a good treasure in the deep mountain, it would be a pity for God's painstaking efforts not to dig it, so a dozen people took the weapons close to them and headed towards the mountain.

"Come on, let's go find potatoes!"

"How many can be dug out, and we will plant them when we come back."

The sixth uncle was very dissatisfied with the backs of a group of young people, "Look at the way they made a fuss just now, it really embarrasses the Shen family!"

Shen Mandun, who was also squatting on the ground without speaking, twitched the corners of his mouth. Have you always forgotten that you fell off the kang when you first heard the news?
Here a group of people marched up the mountain, and Shen Xingluo in the field was teaching everyone how to plant.

There is not much technical content in planting potatoes. The villagers of Shenjia Village are also good at farming, and one person can teach many people to learn it quickly.

Due to the large number of people in the field, it took only one day to plant all the potato seedlings in the ten-acre field, and when the sun went down that day, there were not a single green seedling left in the wooden trough.

Shen Xingluo explained a few words, got up and patted the dirt on his body and walked home.

The fiery red sunset hangs in the west, and the afterglow falls on the quiet farmyard, as if covered with a layer of golden red tulle.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, the old and the young bickering in the courtyard came into view. At this time, Cheng Xi was smiling and describing the 108 ways to eat Poria cocos. There is a screen embroidered in the distance, and there is a burst of aroma from the kitchen.

Shen Xingluo paused slightly, and there was a trace of tenderness in his deep black eyes.

"Husband is back?"

Cheng Xi glanced at him, then turned to look at the kitchen, "Wang Shu, prepare the bowls and chopsticks, it's time to eat."

"How did Madam learn today?"

"Remember it all, Master still praised me."

"Humph."

Mr. Xu didn't bother to talk to this villain, so he lifted the Maza under his buttocks and went to the living room to prepare for dinner.

Shen Xingluo stepped forward and took the notebook she used to record from Cheng Xi's hand, "You are bullying Elder Xu again?"

"Don't blame others, I'm serious about studying, and everyone praises me as a good student since I was a child."

It was this master who was not only boring but also procrastinated when teaching his apprentices. This made Cheng Xi, whose longest class was only one and a half hours, a bit overwhelmed, so he simply said something else to be happy.

She looked up to her side, "Is the work in the field finished?"

"Well, it's all planted."

"Is it the good land selected by the sixth uncle from the clan?"

"Yes, the output after two months will also be reported in the name of the Shen family."

Cheng Xi clicked his tongue, secretly thinking that the Shen family would not be prosperous with Shen Xingluo, as long as he is given time, the Shen family will definitely become the top family of Dayan in a few years.

"Why do I watch someone enter the mountain from afar?"

"Lianhu brought people there, intending to try his luck to see if he can dig out potatoes."

"." There are no potatoes on this mountain, so how do you dig them?
The heroes of Shenjia Village stayed in Shennong Mountain all afternoon but failed to dig potatoes.

However, the villagers today are not what they used to be. Although the heroes were disappointed, they quickly focused on the game, so that they brought back two black wild boars when they went down the mountain in the evening.

When Cheng Xi learned of this, it was already noon the next day, and Aunt Cuihua despised her for being too homely, so she took her to the ancestral hall to watch the slaughter of pigs.
