During natural disasters, crops that are resistant to heat and drought and suitable for growing in extremely hot weather have much higher yields than crops that are resistant to cold and frost in extremely cold climates.

The most representative ones are sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are equally unpalatable.

The skin is thick and the stem is thick. It doesn't have any sweet potato aroma. It tastes dry and astringent when you bite it. However, it is rich in starch, so it does give you a good feeling of fullness.

Thinking that it had been some time since the planting began, Gu Wenxuan picked a bunch of sweet potatoes nearby, pulled out the vines, and took a shovel to dig the sweet potatoes.

I don’t know if it’s because they haven’t reached maturity yet, but the sweet potatoes we dug out are not small. The smallest one is as big as a fist. Although they can’t be compared with previous harvests, they are much larger than the sweet potato varieties grown outside nowadays.

As they had not been washed yet, Gu Wenxuan had no time to try the taste, so he simply took advantage of the free time and dug out a few potatoes nearby.

He carried the basket back to the kitchen, but before he could put it down, he saw Zhou Banxia had come downstairs and was turning in from the restaurant.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Aren't you asleep?"

Zhou Banxia smiled, "You keep talking so much that I just fell asleep and you woke me up again. Is it because it's too early to get up yet?"

"It shouldn't be too early. These two kinds of crops can be harvested in three or four months. Comparing the growth cycles of fruits and vegetables here, it should be time."

If you understand it this way, it seems to make sense.

Zhou Banxia didn’t know for a moment how different the growth cycle of these new varieties developed by the research institute was from those of ordinary fruits and vegetables during these natural disasters.

"First cut a piece of sweet potato and taste it to see if it tastes the same."

This one can be distinguished immediately, unlike one buried in the soil, where you have no idea how big it is unless you dig it out. Gu Wenxuan nodded in agreement and asked her to step aside first.

I took the smallest sweet potato, turned on the faucet, washed it, and then took a knife to peel half of the skin. How did it feel?

"Thin-skinned."

"Yes!" Gu Wenxuan didn't dare to think twice and cut a piece with a few sharp cuts. He grabbed it and put it into his mouth.

Zhou Banxia glanced at the largest sweet potato in the basket and estimated how much the harvest would be from an acre of land if it was that big, but it was too late to stop him.

"It's okay. I know what's going on. It smells nice, so it's definitely not poisonous." Gu Wenxuan chewed it and said, "It's completely different from before."

“Does it taste sweet like sweet potatoes?”

"Yes, it tastes a lot like candied sweet potatoes!" Gu Wenxuan stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Banxia who wanted to taste it, "It's not good to eat it raw, wait until it's cooked, and then I'll let you taste it."

"..." Zhou Banxia took back his hand, "Let's see how the potatoes turn out. Don't eat them raw. It's best to wait until the chickens and ducks eat them to see if there are any adverse reactions."

Gu Wenxuan nodded without hesitation and calmed his wife down first, "It seems that this land has optimization functions no matter what you plant, but it's a pity that the circle was too small at that time.

If I had known this day would come, I would have fenced in the entire back area. What a pity, I didn’t think carefully enough and it would have been much better to fence in the entire back area and open up the wasteland.”

Zhou Banxia's mouth twitched. He surrounded it again. The back was not a concrete ground but a community park. All the green belts had been reclaimed and planted.

"Forget it. Greed is greedy. If the area you enclose is twice as large as that on the property title, who knows if you will still be able to bring this villa over.

Speaking of this, my wife, have you noticed that we should go out of town, maybe the front door and the back door will be opened."

Here, it is still said that people are greedy and they are too greedy. They think this place is not big enough and they want the clouds outside to disperse. It is contradictory. Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "When I have time, I will go out for a walk sooner or later. Then I will see if there will be any upgrades here. There is no rush for now."

"Indeed, I just don't know if it will be the same after I walk out of the gate. Is Haozi's house still across from us? Do you think there will be a passage leading to the previous life?"

Zhou Banxia shuddered suddenly, "Don't think about it. From what I've learned from reading e-books recently, going back to another time and space may not be a good thing.

There are earthquakes and floods again. I guess the natural disasters are not over at all. There have already been extreme heat and cold, and maybe even polar day and polar night. What if it gets even worse?

All kinds of animal and plant mutations, plagues, and zombies have emerged. It is better to keep some beautiful thoughts and hope that my relatives and friends over there are safe and we can meet again in the next life.

Our life is pretty good now. Dear Mom and Dad, whatever we lacked in our previous life, we have it in this life. Why should we go back? Aren’t you annoyed?
Do you believe that if I go back this time, my parents will catch me and they will never let me go, even if they die. You, besides a few close friends, what else do you have to think about? "

Am I not afraid that you can't adapt to the current social environment and miss your relatives over there? Gu Wenxuan decisively buried his little thoughts.

"Anyway, I am very satisfied to have you by my side. Well, let's not talk about those unpleasant things. Add more water and pay attention to the heat. Be careful not to get burned."

Good daughter-in-law!

If his hands weren't busy, Gu Wenxuan would have given Zhou Banxia a passionate kiss right away, "Don't worry, you won't burn me, and neither will I. Having you is enough."

Zhou Banxia sneered, "You are just good at sweet talk. Before I got pregnant, I would have believed you. But now, the one in my belly is enough for you."

Gu Wenxuan laughed out loud, "Silly, I would only want a child born by you."

"My children are all rare?"

"of course."

"It doesn't matter who the father of the child is."

"You are talking nonsense and you know nothing. Don't teach my daughter bad things. If you dare to find another man besides me, just try it!" Gu Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Banxia unhappily.

Zhou Banxia curled her lips secretly, "The raw sweet potato tastes a lot like candied sweet potatoes. Won't it be sweeter when it's cooked? Are you missing your sense of taste?"

"It's useless to say more. You can assume anything else, but you have to say this. I'm angry. As a punishment, you can't eat it tonight even if it's cooked. Just simmer it overnight and let you taste it tomorrow."

If you hadn't added this sentence at the end, I would have thought you were angry!

Zhou Banxia burst out laughing. Seeing that Gu Wenxuan had quickly steamed, boiled and roasted the sweet potatoes and potatoes, she quickly pulled him back to his room to sleep.

"So early?"

"It's ten o'clock, brother."

"Who?"

"Child's father, prenatal education."

"That's more like it. If this sweet potato tastes good, I'll use the fruit and vegetable dryer to make you dried sweet potatoes tomorrow. How about that as a snack for you to chew on?"

"It's a rare day off, so I'll wait until you have time after your annual exam to make it. I haven't finished eating the dried sweet potatoes I made last time.

In addition to the dried sweet potatoes, there are still a lot of crispy vegetables you made, which is enough to eat, not to mention the beef jerky and nuts. How much can I eat?" (End of this chapter)
