After the old people were full, sleepiness hit, so they went back to the house to rest, they slept very soundly, snoring one after another, like loud military music.

Qin Fei and Han Cheng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, chatting about some things.

"I just saw the vegetables you planted, they are growing well, you are very good at this?" Qin Fei opened a topic.

"It's okay. Han Cheng likes to talk to people about his vegetable patch, and he is excited, "My family has been farmers for generations, so I may be suitable for this in my bones." ”

"Then why did you come to work at the retreat?" Qin Fei asked again.

Han Cheng, who has always been sunny and positive, his face became gloomy, and he said after a while: "When I was very young, I lived in the mountains, with a few fields, my father, mother, and me, although my life was poor, it was very fulfilling. ”

But the good times didn't last long, my father was captured and went to the front to fight, and never came back. ”

"I sold my land and property, held a funeral for my mother, and then went to the county to make a living. But I was so young at that time that I couldn't do anything but farm, and I almost starved to death on the streets. ”

"Fortunately, I was taken in by these grandfathers from the retreat center, and I survived. ”

"The reason why I chose to work here is not only to repay the kindness of the people who took him in, but also to think that if my father is still alive and displaced somewhere, I hope there will be someone to take care of him. ”

When Han Cheng said this, there were some tears in his eyes, and he quickly wiped it with his arm, and smiled honestly: "Let Boss Qin see it." ”

Looking at this half-grown child, Qin Fei's heart was very uncomfortable, and he was silent for a long time, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Xiao Han, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"Boss Qin, please speak, as long as you can help, but you can send it. Han Cheng said sincerely.

"That's right, I stumbled upon a new plant in the wild, it tastes good, I want to try artificial cultivation, but I don't have time, I see that you are good at this, so I want to ask you to help with this" Qin Fei said, taking out a sweet potato from the planting space, "This is it." ”

Han Cheng didn't doubt why Qin Fei had such a big thing on his body, so he took the sweet potato and looked at it carefully, full of interest: "What's the name of this thing?"

"I named it Sweet Potato, and it can be eaten raw and has a sweet and crunchy texture, or it can be cooked as a staple food and has a soft texture. After the sweet potato sprouts, it becomes a seed and can be cultivated in the soil. Qin Fei cut the sweet potato with a knife and gave it to Han Cheng to taste.

Han Cheng took a bite of the flesh, his eyes lit up: "It's so sweet, if Boss Qin rest assured, wrap it in me, I will definitely grow it." ”

"I won't let you contribute in vain, and give you five hundred taels of silver. ”

As soon as Qin Fei's words came out, Han Cheng was shocked: "Boss Qin can't help it, just plant some vegetables, how much money is needed!"

"Listen to me first. Qin Fei paused, "Sweet potatoes are ripe in April and May, and a normal plant can produce one to three catties, and it can be inferred that the yield per mu can reach two or three thousand catties." ”

"The money I gave you is for you to help me plant at least ten acres of land and meet the above requirements. ”

Han Cheng was so frightened that he sat on the ground and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

I was not frightened by ten acres of land, but by what Qin Fei said about the yield of three thousand catties per mu.

It must be known that in this era, rice, which is the staple food of the people, has not been trained by Grandpa Yuan, and the yield per mu is at most two or three hundred catties.

The family worked hard to farm, and in the end they still ate the last meal.

And the yield per mu of sweet potatoes can reach ten times that of rice!

What kind of concept is this? If the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom is fully planted, then there will be no more people starving to death in the world.

"Boss Qin, if this sweet potato cultivation is successful, can you let others plant it too?" Han Cheng licked his lips after coming back to his senses.

Qin Fei asked him to grow potatoes, on the one hand, out of the needs of the small shop, and on the other hand, he wanted to help the retreat station tide over the difficulties, and it was better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.

Unexpectedly, this young man has already begun to think about how to promote the world, and the world is worried first.

"So you have to plant well, and if you plant it successfully, only then can potato seeds take root and sprout in various parts of the Dragon Kingdom. Qin Fei smiled.

Xiao Young was excited, this was a feat that could go down in history and change an era, so he immediately agreed, and quickly wrapped the sweet potato he had eaten a few bites in his arms, for fear of breaking it.

Immediately, Han Cheng said: "But this still doesn't cost five hundred taels?"

"Rent land and ask someone to fertilize and weed or something, it's not a small amount, you take it first, if there is a surplus later, it's not too late to tie it up to me. As he spoke, Qin Fei gave Han Cheng five silver tickets of one hundred taels, of course he knew that it would not cost so much money to plant ten acres of land, but he was about to be unable to open the pot.

After the first four months, sweet potatoes will be available in large quantities, and the retreat will be able to continue to operate.

With Qin Fei's current ability, he can only help to this extent.

Han Cheng was stunned, he already understood Qin Fei's intentions, and immediately knelt down and knocked his head three times: "Boss Qin is very kind, Han has nothing to repay, from now on, this life is yours." ”

"What do I want your life for?" Qin Fei choked for a moment and patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, do a good job." ”

The two discussed the planting method of sweet potatoes later, and agreed to bring a batch of potato seeds tomorrow, so Qin Fei packed up his things and returned to Beimen Road.

......

Today's Taiping Festival, every household is lit up, even if it is late at night, there are still many pedestrians on the street.

When Qin Fei returned to the snack bar, Chu Youlan was sitting at the door, holding her face with her hands, watching people come and go.

"What are you looking at, so fascinated?" Qin Fei laughed.

"Is Brother Qin back?" the little girl was awakened, grinned, and hurriedly took the things on Qin Fei's body and put them away.

"How is the store today?" Qin Fei asked casually.

The little girl reported today's work, in fact, it was nothing, mainly to sign for the ingredients and bamboo sticks sent by Chen Sanye.

Qin Fei bowed his head and stretched: "Help me boil water, I'll take a bath." ”

The little girl looked outside, let out a sigh of loss, withdrew her gaze, and went to the kitchen to boil water.

Qin Fei took a hot bath comfortably and changed into dry clothes, but saw that Chu Youlan was giving the door panel to the store, and said in surprise: "What are you doing when you close the door?"

"Isn't it time to go to bed?" the little girl looked puzzled.

"Oh, that's it, I was thinking that I would take you shopping on the Taiping Festival today, but since you don't want to go, forget it. Qin Fei pretended to sigh.

The little girl was stunned and said hurriedly: "I didn't say I wouldn't go." ”

"Then why don't you change your clothes and wear overalls to the street?" Qin Fei seemed to smile.

The little girl looked at the clothes on her body, and her face turned red: "Brother Qin, wait for me." He immediately ran back to the house.

Fortunately, the little girl was naturally beautiful, and she didn't need to wear makeup for a few hours, and she changed her clothes in a few moments.

This was a pale green Luo skirt, Qin Fei had never seen her wear it, and she was like an elf.
