Chapter 177: Digging Sweet Potatoes and Potatoes

On the second day, early in the morning, people came to the village chief's house one after another with a guy's matter, and waited for the village chief to count the people, good guys, the original more than 20 households have almost doubled the number of people, and the family has more than 30 people, and Zheng Daming, the eldest son of the old man Zheng, is the first to come.

Last night, his father told him about the benefits of this sweet potato, and when he saw so many people today, he immediately had a sense of vigilance in his heart. But that's already the case, so I can only follow the village chief to the Yun family first.

And Yunxi, was called up by Mrs. Zhao early, knowing that today is a big event, Yunxi is not in bed, get dressed, get up and wash, and let her mother tie two small beads to herself, Li Wanrou also pinned a pair of identical beads on the two small beads in Yunxi, the bead flower style is very simple, especially suitable for Yunxi.

After Yunxi finished cleaning up and had breakfast, the village chief also led people to come, Yuntian also had a task to do today, not only digging sweet potatoes today, but also talking about potatoes and corn, and this task of uncovering the other two kinds of food was handed over to him, the only scholar at home.

Yun Yi Yunbo's task today is to dig sweet potatoes with everyone, one of them digs sweet potatoes, the other digs potatoes, and of course, accidentally exposes the corn. Ahh

Yunxi looked at the uncle he knew in the yard, and he didn't recognize him, so he stood quietly beside Mrs. Zhao, waiting for his grandfather to talk to the village chief.

When it was confirmed that no one was coming, Yunxi led the group towards the sweet potato planting field.

When they arrived at the place, everyone saw a large green vine, perhaps because of the wild, it grew everywhere, and it was mixed with some weeds, and after Yunxi told the village chief and cousin that it was, he didn't care, and the rest was handed over to his grandmother and his father's second uncle and third uncle, and then he left with his eldest sister and second sister.

Yunxi suddenly remembered that after she let the dumplings go yesterday, she didn't see them again, it had been one night, and she didn't know where the dumplings were now, just when the eldest sister was going to pick up the firewood at home, and the second sister was going to mow the grass for the pigs, Yunxi simply let out her spiritual power to find the dumplings.

On the other side, the village chief had already arranged for people to prepare to dig sweet potatoes at this time, and Old Man Yun was also watching from the side, and more than 30 men used tools before they went up, and scattered one after another, trying to pull out the sweet potato vines that grew on the ground first.

Zheng Daming saw a piece for the first time, this location looked, it was the place where Yunxi and they got out yesterday, with the effort of their hands, a sweet potato was pulled out of the ground by Zheng Daming with roots and soil, and more than a dozen sweet potatoes were brought out of the roots, each of which was the size of an adult's palm.

Although Zheng Daming listened to what his father said, he was even more shocked after seeing it with his own eyes, there are so many under this vine, and almost an acre of land in this piece is called sweet potato, how much does this have? What's more, he saw that there were still broken ones on the root, presumably there must have been some sweet potatoes that were broken directly into the soil because they were too big, so how much did they have to do with the soil?

Zheng Daming immediately came back to his senses, carefully put the sweet potatoes pulled out in his hands, and squatted down directly without taking the tools, and then dug out of the soil one after another, until seven or eight sweet potatoes were dug out, and the expression on Zheng Daming's face was excited.

Oh, my God! What kind of species is this sweet potato, and it can grow so much! If I had known that this could be eaten and that it tasted so good, would his mother and my little sister have survived?

Thinking of these, Zheng Daming's excited expression suddenly became sad, he and his father came here to escape the famine, and the government arranged for them to settle in Yunjia Village, and on the way to escape the famine, his mother starved herself to death in order to save them food, and at that time she didn't know that there was a sweet potato to fill her stomach.

And his little sister, they were still young at that time, the little sister was only eight or nine years old, she didn't eat anything, and then she contracted the wind cold, she didn't eat, she had no medicine, and she died like this.

Zheng Daming suddenly knelt on the ground, holding the sweet potato in his hand, and cried out with a whimper, if he had known. If you know it early. His mother and little sister don't have to die.

At this moment, Zheng Daming finally knew why his father attached so much importance to it, if he planted sweet potatoes, no one would go hungry in the future in the event of a drought with this yield, and the relatives around them would not starve themselves to death in order to save a bite to eat, and his father didn't want the tragedy to happen again.

The village chief was closest to Zheng Daming, and after hearing the movement, he immediately understood what was going on, comforted Zheng Daming a few words, and saw that Zheng Daming had recovered, so he continued to watch.

And the rest of the people also discovered the yield of this sweet potato, and they all looked excited, and their faces turned red. One person accidentally broke the sweet potato with a hoe, and the soil immediately stained the broken sweet potato meat, this person was distressed, and he didn't dare to use the hoe anymore.

Originally, there were people who wanted to dig with tools, but when they saw this scene, they didn't need to use them, so they threw away the tools and gouged them up with their hands.

Old man Yun didn't move, his sons just got it, but seeing that everyone was patronizing and digging, he didn't get the sweet potatoes off the vine, just picked a few more people for his cousin, picked the sweet potatoes on the vine, and gathered them in one place, so that after all the sweet potatoes were dug out, they would also know the specific number.

The village chief immediately ordered a few people and asked them to pick the sweet potatoes on the vines, during which Yuntian also said that this sweet potato vine can also be fed to pigs, and several people who picked sweet potatoes were very careful and put the sweet potato vines in order.

Until one person dug out the potatoes and found that what he dug up was different from the previous one, he immediately asked, Yun Tian heard that he knew that it was time to play, and hurriedly walked over, and the village chief and the old man Yun also walked to the person's side.

Yun Tian took the potato from the other party's hand, pretended to identify it carefully, and then suddenly said: "This thing is the same as sweet potato, it is also a kind of extra food, it is called potato in the book, this potato can be fried as a vegetable, it can also be steamed and eaten, the taste may be a little worse than sweet potato, but it is also full." ”

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar!

At this time, a voice said: "Oh, this thing, I just dug it up, I thought I couldn't eat it, so I threw it aside and quickly picked it up." ”

"I also dug it, and I also said that this thing is different from sweet potatoes, like a lump of dirt, and I threw it aside, listening to Yun Xiucai say this, I knew that this thing is also eaten!"

"Oops! I didn't expect that this mountain forest that we have never been to has grown so many treasures. ”

"No, I've been living Yunfei for so many years, and I've never seen this called sweet potato and soil. The potato stuff, the yield of this sweet potato really stunned me. ”

At this time, another voice asked, "Hey, Yun Xiucai, do you think this thing can be eaten?" I've never seen it before! ”
