Chapter 399: Digging Potatoes

The hot and fragrant breakfast was close at hand, and Hu Yin still had the heart to see if Zhu He had gone far, so he immediately took the clay pot and went home.

Zhu Yuanyuan was shocked, "Master, are you leaving like this?"

"Ang~ How can you walk if you don't go like this?" Hu Yintou didn't reply, "You two hurry up and dig potatoes, it just so happens that there are few herbs sent by the medicine picking team last night, and it's not too late for you to come back to work when the sun comes out."

"Isn't it better to work before the sun comes out?" Zhu Yuanyuan chased after the master without giving up, "The sooner you dry it, the sooner you dry it."

Hu Yin sneered, "It's okay, then you can dry the herbs and then dig up potatoes."

"What, you have to go now?" Zhu Yuanyuan turned around with a roar, "Okay, who made you the master, I have to be obedient, go now."

went out like a gust of wind, and he didn't forget to say hello, "Brother Ashi, hurry up, go to work while it's still early, we have to do more work, we can't be lazy."

Shiraishi, "Slow down, wait until I close the door."

Although the door was open and no one went in to steal anything, the wooden door could be closed with a single pull, and it didn't take much effort to close it.

The two of them had to go out again not long after they returned to the valley, and they were somewhat helpless, but what Grandpa He said was right, the autumn harvest was a big event, and if the potatoes and sweet potatoes and other agricultural products were not taken back to the public storage room in time, what would happen when the snow season fell?

Of the tens of thousands of people in the tribe, less than one-fifth can go out to hunt, and it is not enough to rely on this number of people to hunt and stock up for the snow season, even if the harvest of the whole autumn is not enough.

The harvest in the field is very important, and as a member of the valley tribe, it is necessary to contribute within the scope of our ability.

Zhu Yuanyuan and Shiraishi came to the mouth of the valley to board their small wooden boat, and suddenly found that they had forgotten to bring a bone hoe, and suddenly felt that they had made a mistake, "How can you dig potatoes without a bone hoe?"

was about to turn around and go back to get it, but Zhu He held the boat to catch up, "What's the matter, you want to run halfway through?"

"What did you say, Grandpa He," Zhu Yuanyuan said angrily, "Let's go back and get the bone hoe."

"Take what," Zhu He said with a straight face, "You don't need a bone hoe to pick up potatoes or transport potatoes."

Zhu Yuanyuan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so Baishi continued to row forward.

"Grandpa River," Zhu Yuanyuan sat at the stern of the boat and gossiped, "I heard that this year's potatoes are quite large, and everyone can get more points."

"This year, it was planted early, it took a long time, and of course it will be bigger than last year," mentioned this Zhu Heke, and the old face smiled, "I dug a few plants, and the number of knots is large, and the largest one is the size of my fist."

Zhu Yuanyuan glanced at the old patriarch's hand, it was indeed quite big, and the fist was afraid that it was as big as hers.

It is more convenient to cut small potatoes into pieces and slice, and it is better to shred large potatoes, so you don't have to hide and tucked shredded sour and hot potatoes in the future, and it's okay to be seen.

By the way, potatoes and sweet potatoes can be made into vermicelli, which is easy to store, and if you have a large number of them, you can make some potato flour and sweet potato flour, and keep them for when you want to eat them.

The more I thought about it, the hotter my heart became, and I couldn't help but giggle.

"Yuanyuan," Zhu He asked inquiringly, "Why are you smiling so happily, what good thing has happened?"

"It's not a good thing," Zhu Yuanyuan came back to his senses and touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "It's just that the baked potatoes are delicious, and there are fried potato strips, and I am happy when I hear that the potatoes grow big."

"Oh~" Zhu He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't find a flaw, so he could only throw it away and not explore, and encouraged with a smile, "Come on, this year's harvest is more, the leader has tasted the sweetness, and he will definitely plant more next year."

"It's just that it's more troublesome to divide the potatoes and sweet potatoes last year," Shiraishi worried, "I spent most of the day distributing potatoes and sweet potatoes last year."

Zhu Yuanyuan recalled the scene at that time, her little face was distorted, she didn't know how to count, and the efficiency of dividing things was terrible, but she couldn't stand up to help because she couldn't explain it.

How low?

The more you harvest, the slower you will share, because you don't know how much each person should share, you can only take turns to divide in small amounts, and the big stone platform can't accommodate tens of thousands of people, so it will be divided according to the family.

Each family is sent

The delegates stood there in a row, and then estimated how many potatoes and sweet potatoes they would divide first, and after one round to see how many were left, and then proceed to the second round.

This is actually not fair, after all, there are large and small potatoes and sweet potatoes, and someone will definitely suffer according to the points, and the people who divide can only try to be fair, so as not to let someone or a certain family suffer too much.

Zhu Yuanyuan's share was directly asked by Daddy to help get it, she watched the excitement on the side, and when she waited, she couldn't stand it and ran away, if she waited until the end, she was afraid that she would fall asleep.

This year's harvest will be more, and the time will only be longer, not to mention that the population of the tribe will increase in the future, and more and more things will be planted, and the time will be ......

Hey, it's scary to think about, no, this matter has to be solved by thought.

According to Zhu Yuanyuan's meaning, it is to let the people in the tribe learn to count, learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so as to improve the efficiency of dividing things, the question is, how can she explain why she is doing this?

In a state of confusion, Zhu Yuanyuan and Bai Shi followed Zhu He to a potato field, where there were not many orcs, most of them were females, and only a few males were busy picking up and moving.

The males are not lazy, but they have little experience in farming, and they have a lot of strength, and they will dig up potatoes if they are not careful.

After all, it is something that has been planted for several years, and everyone has found that the potato and sweet potato are more intolerant after the skin is broken, and can only be eaten as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuanyuan also has a lot of strength, but she has experience in digging potatoes, and when she saw that there were still a few bone hoes thrown on the ground, she simply went to get a handful of digging.

"Be careful, don't dig up the potatoes," Zhu He told him uneasily.

"Anla~" Zhu Yuanyuan waved his bone hoe and said arrogantly, "Where can someone as clever as me not be able to do it, you can watch it!"

She picked up her hoe and dug it down, and soon she found a few round potatoes.

"You wait," Zhu He took a closer look, and reached out to pick it up and examine it carefully, showing his distrust of someone to the fullest.

Zhu Yuanyuan laughed angrily, "Grandpa He, why are you like this, I'm a person who has dug up a lot of herbs, will I still be a little out of proportion?"

was questioned on her face, her heart was cold, and she couldn't wait to throw down the bone hoe and turn around and run.

Hmph, she doesn't want to dig potatoes yet.

"Be careful, don't dig up the potatoes," Zhu He told him uneasily.

"Anla~" Zhu Yuanyuan waved his bone hoe and said arrogantly, "Where can someone as clever as me not be able to do it, you can watch it!"

She picked up her hoe and dug it down, and soon she found a few round potatoes.

"You wait," Zhu He took a closer look, and reached out to pick it up and examine it carefully, showing his distrust of someone to the fullest.

Zhu Yuanyuan laughed angrily, "Grandpa He, why are you like this, I'm a person who has dug up a lot of herbs, will I still be a little out of proportion?"

was questioned on her face, her heart was cold, and she couldn't wait to throw down the bone hoe and turn around and run.

Hmph, she doesn't want to dig potatoes yet.
