Pei Yan couldn't ask why, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but Ning Pengpeng was so far away from him, even if he had more questions, he had to hold back.

Therefore, for Qing Niang to do this, she could only nod and agree.

Of the three crops, potatoes are the first to be dug up.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In mid-May, Pei Yan squatted on the ground excitedly and slowly pulled the first nest of potatoes with a small hoe.

Soon, the potatoes the size of eggs were pulled out.

Under a potato seedling, a large number of potatoes can be dug up.

The largest ones are larger than eggs, and the smaller ones are about the size of quail eggs.

Because Qing Niang didn't bring many potato seeds, after cutting them into stems and planting them, they only planted about half a cent of land.

But after digging all the potatoes in this half of the land, and weighing the potatoes, Pei Yan gasped directly.

A hundred pounds or more, what is this concept?

This is only half a cent of land, if it is an acre of land, it must not be more than 2,000 catties?

You must know that the highest yield per mu of rice is more than 200 catties, and more than 2,000 catties of grain has risen tenfold!

With this food, why worry about not succeeding in the great cause?

At this moment, Pei Yan's eyes were shining.

His eyes moved to the corn and sweet potatoes that were still in the field, and these two varieties, about a month later than the potatoes, should be able to be harvested in June.

Although it is not clear how many sweet potatoes there are underground, Pei Yan can imagine that such a large bunch of potatoes has grown from such a rhizome on this potato, and the sweet potato should be similar.

As for corn, there is no need to guess, after all, there are about 1-2 corns growing on each corn stalk now.

Moreover, because corn only needs to be bred with corn kernels, although the corn cobs brought by Qingniang are not more than potatoes, after breaking the corn kernels, they are more than potatoes.

There are even more sweet potatoes, and as long as the seedlings are raised, they can be planted.

When it was time to break corn and dig sweet potatoes, Ning Laosan also took Liu Hu to the northern border.

This time, without Qing Niang guarding him, the big guy's heart was actually very uneasy.

However, Ning Laosan knew that in fact, there was still a group of people guarding their caravan secretly.

Therefore, Ning Laosan is much calmer than everyone.

Of course, he didn't know the specific situation of Qingfeng Wei, and he was a little bottomless in his heart.

Thankfully, however, the journey was peaceful.

The white sugar brought out and the sugar made in Dahuashu Village were basically sold on the road, and by the way, a lot of local specialties along the road were exchanged.

When it arrives in the north, it can be sold several times the price.

Potato flour and sweet potato flour were also sold on the way, and most of them were left behind by Ning Laosan and transported to the north.

Although there are many poor people here, they can't stand this cold and snowy place, and come to a bowl of hot and sour noodles.

It can be said that these potato flour and sweet potato flour were snatched up as soon as they arrived in the north.

Several big families in the north still relied on Ning Laosan to make friends with them, so they left some for each of them.

Before leaving, they kept a relationship with Ning Laosan and asked him to bring more next year.

Ning Laosan smiled silently, after all, if Qing Niang had arrived here a year ago, she would have planted all the seeds she brought with the Pei Dong family after the beginning of spring.

If it is planted early, all those harvested in the first half of the year can be planted, and then another crop can be planted in the second half of the year.

In this case, there should be no shortage of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the north next year.

At that time, they didn't have to travel thousands of miles to the north to sell, but directly made fans in the north and sold them.

The goods in Ning Laosan's hands were almost out, leaving some vermicelli and chili powder, which he was going to take to Pei Dong's house.

The rest is to receive the goods in the north, and Ning Laosan handed over this matter to Wang Deyin, Ning Yongping and Liu Hu to do it together.

Then, he went to Pei Dong's house alone with the gift.

It's just that when I walked near the courtyard where Pei Yan lived, I saw a girl in a fan dress, knocking on Pei Yan's door.

Ning Laosan was surprised, afraid of getting into trouble, so he stood not far away and waited first.

It stands to reason that if there was someone in the house knocking on the door like this, they would have come to open the door a long time ago.

But the girl knocked for a long time, but there was still no movement.

Pei Yunbian didn't expect that Pei Yan would be so ruthless and not see himself at all.

His hands were red, and he didn't pay any attention.

I really had no choice but to turn around and leave in a huff.

When passing by Ning Laosan's side, Pei Yunbian saw the sack that Ning Laosan was carrying, and Ning Laosan was wearing nothing more than muslin.

Although it is not the kind of coarse arrowroot, it does not look like a rich family.

is a little like those subordinates of big families, for this kind of subordinates, Pei Yunbian has always had little patience.

Thinking of the way he banged on the door just now, he must have been seen by this vulgar subordinate.

Therefore, Pei Yunbian glared at Ning Laosan viciously, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

Her operation directly confused Ning Laosan, and she didn't know where she offended this girl?

waited until he couldn't see the girl's back, Ning Laosan stepped forward and looked at the door hesitantly.

After all, the girl knocked for so long just now, it is very likely that Pei Dong's family is not at home.

It's just that I didn't expect that after knocking twice, the gate of the yard was opened.

It was Bai Zhu who came to open the door, and he and Ning Laosan were also old acquaintances.

"Ye and Qingniang are harvesting sweet potatoes and corn in the field, and Ning Sanye will wait for a while."

Hearing this, Ning Laosan immediately laughed and stuffed the sack in his hand into Bai Zhu's hand.

"Where can I be missing from the work in the fields?

After all, I'm a veteran!"

The family grows two seasons of grain, whether it is coarse grain or rice, every time Ning Laosan sows the first season and harvests the second season.

Whoever let him finish sowing the seeds, and after the beginning of spring, he set off with the caravan.

When they returned, autumn was almost here, and the coarse grains and rice of the second crop could be harvested.

Therefore, Ning Laosan still knows how to break corn and dig sweet potatoes.

Bai Zhu looked at the sack that was stuffed into his hand, but he didn't expect that this sack was quite big, but it didn't weigh much, and he could carry it with one hand.

Seeing that Ning Sanye entered the courtyard by himself, he carried Ma Dan alone and closed the courtyard gate with his other hand.

lest Pei Yunbian come again, and when he saw the gate and watched, he came in regardless of it.

Actually, Bai Zhu didn't understand that the eldest lady was also raised in front of the eldest girl Nai Nu Nai and Mrs. Shen.

It stands to reason that rules and etiquette are better than anyone else.

But today's eldest lady, not to mention the dead skin, there is an indescribable taste.
