After being exiled, Lucky Zaizai took his whole family to farm.

Chapter 52 Can you be full?
  The Zhao family, which is next to the Qin family and the Wen family, is also uneasy at the moment.

Although their family is not a farmer, they also understand the importance of food.

Especially Zhao's father, who often followed the uncle of the Qin family and dealt with the army, how could he not understand how rare food was.

"Oh my god, did we really grow this much food?" Mother Zhao couldn't believe it.

My hands, which were not used to farm work, were holding up a series of sweet potatoes with trembling hands.

Next to me, Father Zhao and Brother Zhao also came to work.

The injuries of the two of them have recovered to some extent, and it doesn't matter if they do some simple work now.

Seeing his parents' shocked expressions, Zhao Dong smiled proudly and said, "Where are we now? Uncle Qin said, let's finish it as soon as possible and then tidy up the floor.

You can still plant that thing for another season, by the way, potatoes. I heard that the yield per acre may be higher than that of sweet potatoes.

But he couldn't tell for sure, anyway, it probably meant something similar to this.

It’s not good to eat too much sweet potatoes, so I said I’d plant some more potatoes for a change. "

"It's higher than this???" Father Zhao stumbled and almost lost his balance.

A talented person who could grow so much food was actually exiled?
  Oh my god, what is the court doing today? Do they know what they are missing? ?

If the uncle is still here, how many soldiers can be fed by taking this crop to the army!

Father Zhao sighed heavily when he thought that he was just a fugitive living an ignoble existence.

Forget it, the Qin family is gone, the uncle is gone, and everything in Xishu has nothing to do with him.

He just felt sorry for those poor people.

***
  There are scales in the territory, and under Lin Yuan's enthusiastic initiative, the output of this acre of land was also scaled.

"Just right, twenty and a half stones!"

That is 2460 pounds. Qin Jia was quite surprised, let alone others.

Fang Yuerong's tone trembled slightly as she said, "So, so many..."

"There are too many, from the Qin family. Is this a melon or a fruit? Is it delicious? Can you let us have a taste?"

"Yeah, yeah, I've never heard of anything that can bear such old fruit."

"How about we buy it, or exchange it with other grains for you to try?"

Lin Yuan did not make a sound. At this moment, he was so shocked that he lost his words.

Facing the neighbors' requests, Qin Huaiyi and Fang Yuerong looked at Qin Jia hesitantly.

When it comes to matters like this, the couple never dare to make their own decisions and have to seek the girl's opinion.

Lest you don’t understand and make a decision that hurts your child.

If Jiajia doesn't want more people to know about this crop, they will just stick to it and won't give it out.

Qin Jia nodded without revealing any trace.

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyi smiled and said: "No need to change, today's harvest is good, I will send a car to Mr. Ming later.

Ask him to arrange for people to cook it, and give one to each person. "

There are currently about two hundred people in the territory, most of whom are elderly, women and children.

Each person gets one, which is just about thirty sweet potatoes from the bottom of the plant. If you can afford it.

Then Qin Huaiyi told Lin Yuan in detail about various ways to make sweet potatoes.

"You can eat it by cooking it, or after making a fire, you can bury it in charcoal and eat it. You can also add some to rice porridge. As for those desserts, I won't go into details."

The main reason is that he doesn't understand either, only his daughter understands.

Lin Yuan listened very carefully and asked for advice, "Uncle, do you think you can divide these sweet potatoes and sell them to the territory for sowing?"

Qin Jia has already raised this issue with Qin Huaiyi. So he replied naturally: "Yes, but we have to wait until next year. We have prepared the cellar to store sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines.

Wait and see next year. If the sweet potato vines are well preserved, Mr. Yuan can buy the vines and plant them. "

"What? Can you grow with these vines without using fruits?"

Lin Yuan's eyes were full of disbelief. He looked up at the sweet potato vines all over the ground. How many acres of land would it take to plant this? ? ?
  However, Qin Huaiyi did not dare to say anything, "This is not necessarily true, it depends on how cold this winter is.

If these sweet potato vines cannot survive next year, Mr. Yuan will buy more sweet potatoes. "

He mainly wanted to make it cheaper for these people who were serious about supporting their territory.

If it is a sweet potato vine, you can save some seed money and still have some sweet potatoes left for food.

Although Qin Huaiyi didn't say anything, Lin Yuan was still very happy, "Okay, then you should keep it well, and if you need someone to dig a cellar or something, just let me know.

The brothers have appointed you to finish the work first before doing anything else. When the time comes, some of the sweet potato vines must be sold to all of us. "

"Well, yes."

Seeing Qin Huaiyi's promise, Lin Yuan became even more enthusiastic and arranged for someone to transport the sweet potatoes they sent back to the big wooden house for cooking.

Then he called on his subordinates to help, "Hurry up and help with some work and transport these sweet potatoes and vines back to the three families as soon as possible."

Not only his people, but other people with some ideas are also enthusiastic at this moment.

They all offered to help the three families dig sweet potatoes, and one by one came back with a hoe to help.

The speed became faster in an instant.

It had already taken several days to dig out all the sweet potatoes. Unexpectedly, three acres of sweet potatoes had been dug today.

The three families, who did not expect such a good thing, all looked stunned at this moment.

It wasn't until the gongs and drums sounded in the territory that everyone dispersed.

One by one, they went to the big wooden house with great expectations.

Sure enough, there were several wooden barrels on the ground, filled with cooked sweet potatoes and a small amount of roasted sweet potatoes.

"Come, line up and get one, one for each person. The main thing is to taste it. If you want it later, you can discuss it with others and exchange it for food."

In a place where money may not necessarily buy things, it is naturally safer to exchange things for things.

Knowing that there was nothing wrong with the sweet potatoes, Qin Huaiyi, Zhao Dong, and Wen Chenru said hello to Gongsun Wuming and returned to the fields.

They just heard the gongs and drums ringing, and they thought it was something important, so they all hurried over to gather.

I didn’t expect that this would actually be a sweet potato...

As the first person received it, he peeled off the sweet potato skin, and a sweet smell filled the air.

"Is this a sweet potato? It smells delicious and looks good."

The man took a bite, his mouth was filled with pink, glutinous and sweet taste, and his eyes lit up.

Others just saw the gap in the sweet potato and understood that it was not an unsatisfying fruit, but a food to fight hunger!
  "Hey, why do I think it looks so much like egg yolk?"

"It tastes like it when I eat it. It's pink and glutinous, but it's sweeter than egg yolk."

"Oh, this is really good. It can produce twenty stones per mu. The land cultivated by the Qin family seems to be still wasteland this year.

If this were replaced by our good land, it might be worth more than twenty stones! ! "

"Oh my God, no, I have to go help harvest sweet potatoes and see if I can exchange some to save seeds."

"Wait, I'm going too!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too, let's go together, work goes faster when there are more people."
