Chapter 104 The whole people dig up the big potato
When the group of children came to the front, Li Xiaonuan stopped them and asked, "What are you running?" Wolves chasing? ā
The black boy Black Bean said crisply: "I'm going back to ask my dad to bring the guy to dig big potatoes." Sister Xiao Nuan, there are a lot of big potatoes growing in your field, but they can be big. ā
The children who were listening should also respond: "Oh, it's a lot." Brother Xiaoyang said that whoever digs it is who's whoever. We need to hurry home and tell my lord. ā
After saying that, seven or eight leather boys ran away again.
Li Xiaonuan looked at their backs and couldn't help laughing. The father and daughter chatted while continuing to walk: "I looked at those vines from a distance before, and I thought it was a wild vine, but I didn't expect it to be a big potato." Dad, do you think we're picking up a big bargain? ā
Father Li responded: "I'm worried that someone will be red-eyed." Although large potatoes are not a precious thing, they can't bear a lot of them. Fortunately, Xiaoyang knows how to sell well, and whoever digs it is who's who. Otherwise, our family will definitely be hated again this time. ā
When the father and daughter saw the wasteland from a distance, the group of people who were cultivating the wasteland were surrounding a place, as if they were marveling at something. Even the two aunts who had been invited to cook the dishes came over.
Li Xiaonuan couldn't put down the mung beans in his hand, and followed Daddy Li to see the excitement. Jingjing shouted happily when she saw Li Xiaonuan from a distance: "Sister Xiaonuan, look at it, this big potato is really big." Brother Xiaoyang can't even hold it. ā
Li Xiaonuan ran over in a few steps, and was brought over by Jingjing to the space that the men had given up. I saw that Xiaoyang was picking around a pit, obviously digging again. Li Xiaonuan took a closer look at the big potato and found that it was really amazingly big.
"This is dug by Brother Xiaoyang, and it is currently the largest piece." Jingjing said proudly, looking proud.
Gradually, some people also started to help Xiaoyang dig together. Jingjing was so excited that she asked Li Xiaonuan to take a look at this, and then she was about to grab the big potato. Li Xiaonuan grabbed Jingjing's hand in time and told her, "Jingjing, don't touch the big potato." Otherwise, your hands will itch. ā
Jingjing also knew that after the skin of the big potato was broken, the juice that flowed out would make people's skin itch, so she withdrew her hand in disagreement. But she was still like an elf, following Xiaoyang around the big potato tubers. Several times, when Xiaoyang picked up the pickaxe, he almost hit her.
"Jingjing, you stay away from me, the pickaxe in my hand has no eyes, dangerous. You go over and stand with my sister to watch the meeting, and when it's all dug up, you can come and see it. Xiaoyang really couldn't take care of Jingjing, so he persuaded her.
Jingjing returned to Li Xiaonuan's side and stretched out her little tongue in the direction of Xiaoyang. Li Xiaonuan covered her mouth and snickered, looking at this pair of young men and women who were just beginning to fall in love, and felt happy.
Because the potatoes grow on the wasteland, and this wasteland is very porcelain, and there are many rocks. Therefore, by the time it was time for lunch, the potatoes had not yet been dug up halfway. Jingjing was a little disappointed, and when everyone was eating, she was alone around the big potato.
After the meal, sure enough, many men from the village came with guys and joined the team of digging big potatoes. Of course, before excavating, everyone went to the big potato that Xiaoyang dug up to taste it.
Zhou Rong's family also came with her eldest son. As soon as he came, he was so good that the Quali family was good, and how kind people were. That flattering face is simply unbearable.
Father Li couldn't bear to see the deliberate flattery of those people, so he excused himself to go back to rest and leave first. Li Xiaonuan looked at the bustle of the wasteland, especially the little troublemaker Xiao Heidou.
Black Bean failed to invite his father this time, but he said that his uncle was moved. His uncle is just the age of Xiaogang, and he is still a child. Two children weave through the grass, looking for the right vine roots.
It's just that the two of them slipped around, and they still couldn't make up their minds. As soon as the little black bean's eyeball elf turned, he ran to Xiao Yang's side and asked him softly: "Brother Xiao Yang, when you dug this big potato before, the big potato vine was not big?" ā
Xiaoyang stopped what he was doing, wiped his sweat, and replied to him: "It's not very big, close to the roots, the leaves are all yellow." And ah, the vine at that root looked like it was dead, and the ground was uplifted and cracked badly. ā
Black Bean's eyes rolled again, said thank you, and ran away with a smile.
Sure enough, this time, the uncle and nephew did not wander around, but stopped in front of a pile of vines that were about to wither and began to dig.
The news that many large potatoes have come out of the land bought by Li Xiaonuan's family has spread again in the old and new Zhou villages. Moreover, Xiaoyang said before that anyone can dig it. Therefore, most of the curious villagers went to the wasteland with great interest.
After two days of commotion like this, after the big potato that Black Bean and his little uncle dug was dug up with the help of the villagers, everyone was stunned.
"Ouch, this big potato must be seventy or eighty pounds. How big can it be like this? Mrs. Jin said sourly on the side.
She also asked his son to dig it, but his son was lazy. Fortunately, her son is cunning and knows how to pick up leaks. Therefore, in the past two days, her son picked up a lot of big potato pits that others had dug a lot deeper, but temporarily left for something, and dug out a lot of big potatoes.
For this, the villagers who came to dig the big potatoes fought with their mother and son. But people are clearly scoundrels, and there is nothing anyone can do. If it's because of this big potato, it's a joke. Moreover, this big potato originally belonged to the Li family, and the people of the Li family didn't make a sound, and they didn't make too much trouble.
Black Bean has long looked at this mother and son unpleasantly, especially the son, who is always staring at their pit. Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Jin's words came out, Black Bean answered: "Aunt Jin, you ask Brother Monkey to help you dig a big one." I see that there are a lot of big potato vines in this place. ā
Mrs. Jin still said with pantothenic acid: "Look at what Black Bean said." How can you have such good luck as your big monkey brother. Tell your aunt how you found such a big potato? ā
Black Bean pretended to be puzzled and said, "I don't know, we just dig randomly." My uncle was mixed here, so we dug here. ā
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Mrs. Jin snorted and walked away. There is a good thing surrounding the big potato of the black bean family, and Jian yƬ: "Black bean, why don't we weigh this big potato of your family and see if there can be two of you?" ā
As soon as these words came out, echoes arose. Black Beans were happy to be coaxed by them. The black bean father who came to get the news was so happy that he picked up the black beans and threw them up twice one by one, causing the black beans to scream.
In the end, the black bean family's big potatoes weighed seventy-six pounds, which was thirty-six pounds heavier than the six-year-old black beans. And the piece that Xiaoyang dug up before, a little smaller, is only fifty-nine catties.
A meaningless battle of digging potatoes finally ended on the fifth day of Li Xiaonuan's house. The reason, of course, is that there are not many large potatoes left that can be dug. Moreover, this big potato is not a good thing, and if you dig too much, you can't eat it, and you can't sell it at a price.
At first, everyone just went for the freshness. Of course, there are many people who rush to take advantage. But no matter what purpose those people are going to, it is a good thing for the Li family. After all, because of them, that wasteland has been cultivated a lot. No, the progress of land reclamation in recent days is obviously much faster than the first day. (To be continued.) )
