Chapter 348: Great Harvest
Sweet potatoes are finally ready to be harvested.
The entire island of Nine Shadows was immersed in joy.
In a small village, the fields are lively, and the big guys are very excited when they look at the lush sweet potato leaves in the fields.
They had heard before that the sweet potatoes cultivated by the owner were particularly delicious and large.
I don't know if it's true.
"Village chief, you come and dig the first hoe."
Someone spoke.
"I don't know what the yield is, we will have to live on these sweet potatoes in the future."
"yes, okay!"
The man, known as the village chief, said with a smile.
The people of their village are all people who have merged with various forces.
Although they have their own careful thoughts, they all rely on the village chief for big things.
Because the village chief is evaluated and elected by the villagers.
The village chief bent down and cut the sweet potato vine with a sickle, and the hoe dug ten inches away from the sweet potato rhizome.
"Click......" A crisp sound sounded in the dirt.
"This ...... How can you still dig sweet potatoes from such a distance? ”
Someone exclaimed, and listening to this sound, how big is the sweet potato?
In fact, everyone understands that the village chief has already put the hoe far away.
"The village chief will leave it alone for now, and then dig it out." Someone was anxious to see the size and yield of sweet potatoes, and hurriedly urged.
The village chief's hand holding the hoe trembled a little, and he took a deep breath. Swing upwards with a hoe.
Several sweet potatoes wrapped in soil were turned over.
"Ah...... The village chief dug up the sweet potatoes. ”
"It's a big one."
"I've never seen a sweet potato this big."
"God has finally given us a way to live."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
"Great. That's great. We don't have to go hungry anymore. ”
"Village chief, let's see how many sweet potatoes are under this sweet potato vine?"
After the excitement, someone calmed down and hurriedly spoke.
The village chief is a middle-aged man in his forties, and his body is quite hard because of his perennial work.
He threw the hoe on the ground and dug it directly into the ground with his hands.
After a while, he dug up several sweet potatoes, and after putting them aside, he dug up a few more times in succession, and dug out several more.
The villagers were shocked by the yield.
They all stepped forward to watch, they had all grown sweet potatoes for more than ten years, and it was the first time they had seen such a big sweet potato.
"Village chief, according to the growth of this sweet potato, how many catties will this mu produce?"
"If you want me to say, at least seven or eight hundred pounds."
"I don't think so, there should be thousands of pounds."
"Oh my God! That's too much, it's a great harvest. ”
"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and get to work. Do you want to eat enough? ”
Even in the sun, the big guys are reluctant to go back to rest. Sweet potatoes are shaved vigorously in the ground.
Such a scene is staged in various villages on Jiuyou Island.
After Feng Jiuyou went home, he didn't see the figure of Old Man Feng and Old Lady Feng, so he hurriedly ran to the courtyard where Mother Feng lived:
"Mother, where is Grandpa and Grandma?"
Feng Jiuyou said to the Feng Mu who was playing softly.
"Didn't I hear that sweet potatoes can be dug, and your grandpa and grandma can't be idle, so they ran to the field, do you have anything to do with them?" Wind Mother said.
If it weren't for taking care of two small children, she would have wanted to go.
Feng Jiuyou seemed to see the Wind Mother's thoughts, picked up the softness, and said:
"Now that the sun has set, let's go around the fields."
When the wind mother heard this, her eyes lit up, and she picked up Mianmian who was sitting on the ground with one hand.
Feng Jiuyou couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw this, mother, you don't have to be in such a hurry.
