"Okay, good, good, I'll immediately inform the villagers to come and have a look at the wasteland." Zhou Li is stroking his palms and laughing, he was really overjoyed today, but he didn't expect the people of the Li family and the Yang family to tell themselves about the planting method of sweet potatoes, these two families have done a lot of good things for the villagers, and they must let the villagers take care of these two families more in the future.
Zhou Li was rushing back from the wasteland in the back mountain to the house complex. As long as Zhou Lizheng met the villagers on the road, he asked the villagers to inform each other to go to the wasteland in the back mountain to gather. The villagers were confused by Zhou Lizheng's inexplicable actions, although they didn't understand what Zhou Lizheng meant, but the villagers still listened to Zhou Lizheng's words very much, and they all informed each other to go to the back mountain to gather.
Yang Yun soon saw that many villagers had come to the back mountain, and this week was too exaggerated, so he notified the whole village at once. Yang Yun watched a group of villagers gather in the back mountain, discussing today's events.
"Li Zheng told us what to do in the back mountain?"
"I don't know, Li Zheng only asked us to inform each other to come to the back mountain to gather." More and more villagers rushed to Houshan, and they were privately discussing what they were looking for to come to Houshan for.
"Brother Li, you guys are harvesting sweet potatoes today." Some acquaintances of the villagers saw that the Yang family and the Li family were harvesting sweet potatoes on the wasteland, and they greeted the two families one after another.
"Yes, the sweet potatoes planted in the spring can now be harvested." Uncle Li replied to the villagers' questions.
"Brother Li, do you know what Li Zheng is asking us to come to Houshan for?"
"This..., let's wait for Li Zheng to come and tell everyone." Introducing the planting method of sweet potatoes to the villagers, Li Zheng should take the lead, and Uncle Li rashly opened his mouth that the villagers would not necessarily believe it.
"Rizheng is here." The villagers still wanted to ask Uncle Li, but they heard someone shouting that Zhou Lizheng was coming.
"Lizheng, why did you come to Houshan with us?"
"Yes, today you called us to Houshan in such a hurry, but there is a problem with the food in the wasteland." A lot of food is grown in the wasteland in the back mountain, and everyone is most afraid that something will happen on the wasteland. When everyone saw that Zhou Lizheng was coming, they all asked what they were doing in the back mountain.
"Folks, everyone be quiet, please listen to me." Zhou Li was shouting loudly to the crowd. When the villagers heard Li Zheng's words, they were quiet for a while, and they all wanted to hear what Li Zheng's purpose was for coming to Houshan today.
"I called everyone to the wasteland in Houshan today to let everyone see how high the yield of sweet potatoes is in one acre of wasteland." There was a lot of joy in Zhou Li's words.
"Lizheng, the yield of one acre of sweet potatoes, can we still not know? Not only a few hundred catties of output, after deducting sweet potato seeds, the harvest of one acre of land is not enough for a family to fill their stomachs. "When the villagers heard that Li Zheng was looking for them to come to Houshan today, just to see the harvest of an acre of wasteland, the villagers felt that Li Zheng was too idle, and he was simply entertaining them, how many years had they planted wasteland, how could they not know how much yield of an acre of sweet potatoes was.
"Everyone, please listen to me, I have been a lizheng for so many years, of course I know how much sweet potato production was in one acre of wasteland in the past. But today, no, to be precise, it was just now that I learned that the yield of sweet potatoes in one acre of wasteland can reach more than 1,300 catties. β
"What? One acre of wasteland is 1,300 catties of sweet potatoes? β
"How is it possible, I don't believe it."
"Yes, Lizheng, you didn't lie to us, did you?" The villagers were shocked to hear that one acre of wasteland could produce 1,300 catties of sweet potatoes. More people in the village don't believe Li Zheng's words at all, they have been planting for many years, and they have never seen an acre of wasteland that can produce more than 1,000 catties of sweet potatoes.
"It's true, if you don't believe it, you can look at the Li family next to you, and you can know the pile of sweet potatoes they harvested."
"Isn't that pile of sweet potatoes in the Li family's wasteland the yield of a few acres of land?"
"Of course not, the pile of sweet potatoes you just saw is actually just the yield of one acre of land."
"This..., how is it possible, is what Brother Li is saying true?" When the villagers saw Uncle Li standing in the field harvesting sweet potatoes, they asked Uncle Li one after another, wanting to check with Uncle Li whether what Li Zheng said was true.
"What Li Zheng said is true, the sweet potatoes grown on our wasteland are indeed more than 1,000 catties of sweet potatoes per acre. The pile of sweet potatoes next to us was just dug up this morning. When the villagers heard Uncle Li say this, they all ran to the sweet potato pile, picked up a few sweet potatoes and took them to check in their hands.
"Sweet potatoes are so big."
"That is, a big sweet potato is about to catch up with the weight of half a catty." The villagers gathered around the pile of sweet potatoes, and some villagers picked up oversized sweet potatoes and took them to their hands to estimate the weight of the sweet potatoes.
"The taste is not wrong, and there is a sweetness." Some villagers take a sweet potato, break it directly from the middle, and take it to their mouths and taste it. Yang Yun looked at a group of villagers, surrounding the pile of sweet potatoes, just like a group of treasure connoisseurs, commenting on the sweet potatoes harvested by the two families. The light radiating from the eyes of this group of villagers was like a thief who had seen a gem for the first time. Yang Yun thought about it in her heart and decided to use the villagers to help the two families work.
"Uncles and uncles, if you don't believe it, an acre of wasteland can produce more than 1,000 catties of sweet potatoes, you can go home and get tools, and help dig out an acre of sweet potatoes to see how much the yield is. Now there are still three acres of sweet potatoes that have not been dug up, as long as you dig them out and take a look, you will know what we are talking about, whether the yield of more than 1,000 catties is deceiving. β
"Yun girl is a good idea, everyone has to see is believing."
"But no, if you don't dig it yourself, you won't believe it, but one acre of wasteland planted sweet potatoes can have such a high yield." Many villagers agreed with Yang Yun's proposal.
"Let's go home and get tools to dig sweet potatoes."
"Okay, go back and get tools to dig sweet potatoes in the back mountain." In order to see is believing, many villagers ran home to get tools to dig sweet potatoes in the back mountains.
"Sister." Yang Yong raised his mother's finger at his sister, his sister is so smart, this group of villagers is simply free labor.
Soon the villagers took their own farm tools and ran to the back mountain to help dig sweet potatoes, Yang Yun directly became the commander, commanding the villagers to start digging up sweet potatoes from which side, and the villagers helped dig up the sweet potatoes, and found a place to pile them up, and soon an acre of sweet potatoes was picked up by the villagers.
The villagers looked at the mountains of sweet potatoes and finally believed that the yield of sweet potatoes in one acre of wasteland was so high.
"Brother Li, tell us quickly, how the sweet potatoes in these acres of wasteland are grown, and we also grow sweet potatoes in the field, why the yield in your field is so high." Seeing is believing, and everyone in the village anxiously asked Uncle Li about the planting method of sweet potatoes. Everyone hopes that the grain in their fields can have such a high yield, and when the grain production is high, the family will no longer have to go hungry.
"Lizheng, tell us how these high-yield sweet potatoes are grown." Some villagers even ran to ask Li Zheng, today it was Li Zheng who summoned everyone to come to the wasteland, and the villagers believed that Li Zheng knew how to grow sweet potatoes.
"Uncles and uncles, if you want to know how to grow sweet potatoes, when our two families have time, we must explain it to you in detail." The work in the field is not finished, and Yang Yun naturally will not let go of this group of free laborers.
"Yun girl, you know how to grow sweet potatoes, why can't you tell us now." The villagers were not happy to hear Yang Yun say that they would wait until they had time to tell them how to plant sweet potatoes, and these villagers were eager to know the planting method of sweet potatoes immediately, so how could they be willing to wait for Yang Yun to tell them when they were free.
"Uncles and uncles, isn't it that we don't want to tell you, you also see that we still have so much work to do in the field, and when we are done with the work in the field, can we tell everyone? And this season is no longer suitable for planting sweet potatoes, even if you know how to grow sweet potatoes, you can't grow sweet potatoes. β
"Xiao Yun, you tell us the same now, we want to know how to grow sweet potatoes now." Food is the life-saving medicine of the villagers, and the villagers are eager to know how the high-yield sweet potatoes are grown.
"The method of planting sweet potatoes is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, uncles and uncles, let's wait until we are busy with the work in the field, and then tell you." After Yang Yun finished speaking, she glanced at Li Zheng, Yang Yun repeatedly proposed to be busy with the work in the field, and Li Zheng should be able to understand what Yang Yun meant.
"Folks, everyone asked Yun Yatou one by one, isn't this delaying their work. If there is bad weather, isn't this a waste of grain? Everyone has helped dig an acre of sweet potatoes today, it is better for good people to do it to the end, help Yun girl and them to pick all the sweet potatoes back home, so that they will not have free, you can tell you in detail about the planting method of sweet potatoes. Besides, they don't hide their selfishness, they want to tell everyone about the planting method of sweet potatoes, and everyone says that they should not help. "As soon as Zhou Li is dawning, he hopes that the villagers can understand the good of the Yang family and the Li family.
"Help, you should help, the Yang family and the Li family have helped us a lot, the last time we sold fruits, and we didn't thank them well for digging river mud. Yun girl opened a workshop again, let my big girl go to the workshop to work to make money, no matter what happened today, I want to thank the two of them for taking care of us before. "The one who took the lead in speaking was the chubby father, Uncle Zhou. After he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and went down to the field to help dig sweet potatoes, the big girl he said was Zhou Wan, and Zhou Wan is now the leader of the workshop.
Yang Yun handed over all the accounts of the workshop to Zhou Wan, and asked Zhou Wan to be the teacher of the workshop, and Zhou Wan even took some time to go to the school every day to read and write, such an enterprising girl, of course Yang Yun was willing to trust Zhou Wan. (To be continued.) )
