The Strongest Dad in the 1980s: Fu Bao is the daughter of Heaven

Chapter 299 Brother Huihui, look at my sweet potatoes

After these days of growth, the sweet potatoes in the previous sweet potato field are also expanding rapidly. The soil cracks and the sweet potatoes growing inside can be seen.

Chen Feng watched ridge after ridge.

When they were not at home, the sweet potato seedlings were turned over by the nunnery master and rolled up on the ground.

Only the two lines of pruning seedlings left by Chen Feng did not grow long, only forty or fifty centimeters long.

He first looked at the normally grown sweet potatoes. The soil had cracked, and the different varieties of sweet potatoes were white and tender, and they looked good.

"Dad, where are my sweet potatoes?" After Tangtang got to the field, she looked around.

Chen Feng knew that she was talking about sweet potatoes that had been pruned.

He pointed and said: "Here, over there, your sweet potatoes, go and take a look at them, what do you think?"

"Uh-huh."

The little guy ran over excitedly and said, "It must be good!"

She did not forget to wave, "Brother Huihui, come here quickly, come to my side and look at my sweet potatoes."

Hui Hui followed, and Chen Feng also looked at the sweet potatoes and planned to cut off the longer seedlings, chop them into small pieces, and cook them for the pigs.

"Look, Brother Huihui, it's sweet potato."

As soon as Tangtang arrived, she pointed at the bulging root of the sweet potato and told Huihui.

Huihui had never seen it before, and kept looking at the root of the sweet potato.

Then he asked: "Does it taste good?"

"Hmm, it's delicious. Brother Huihui, haven't you ever eaten sweet potatoes?"

Huihui thought for a while and shook his head.

There seemed to be no such thing as sweet potato in his memory.

Tangtang immediately used her "good tongue" to tell Huihui how delicious and sweet the sweet potato was.

In addition to sweet potatoes, she also told Huihui about something called taro.

Huihui was not looking forward to it at first, but gradually got lost in her "delicious" words one after another.

He looked at Tangtang, "When can I eat it?"

"Hmm~" Tangtang looked at the sweet potatoes and said uncertainly: "Tangtang doesn't know either, Tangtang thinks they are edible."

But she didn't dare to confirm, so she looked at her father, "Dad, can this be eaten?"

Chen Feng looked in their direction and said, "You can't eat it yet. It will be about the same in a few days."

As he spoke, he walked towards the two of them.

However, when he saw the big holes in the roots of the sweet potatoes on the ridge, he showed a surprised expression: "Yeah!"

The two children were also startled by him.

I saw Chen Feng jump into another ditch, and then stared at the roots of the sweet potatoes, "Why is it so good here?"

As he spoke, he didn't pay attention to what Tangtang had just said, and quickly dug the soil from the sweet potato roots with his fingers, and two sweet potatoes popped out.

The soil on their side is relatively soft, and if you dig it casually, you can remove the soil and reveal the sweet potatoes that pop out.

Tangtang was also surprised and said: "Wow, dad, it's a sweet potato. It's such a big sweet potato."

Chen Feng was also a little surprised.

Probably more surprised than surprised, Chen Feng subconsciously reached out and pulled out the sweet potato with half of its skin exposed.

The two sweet potatoes are uniform, not too big, but not too small. The soil is soft, so they grow very straight.

"Wow, it's so big..." Tangtang continued to exclaim.

Chen Feng also became proud, "Yes, it's really not small."

Even Huihui was surprised, "Is it sweet potato?"

"Yeah, it's a sweet potato." Tangtang looked happy so she could tell him, "Brother Huihui, the sweet potato is very fragrant and sweet. It's delicious."

Huihui couldn't help but swallowed when he heard this.

Especially when Chen Feng also said: "If the kiln is covered with piled up earth, it will be more fragrant when it is red and stuffy, and the skin and meat will be crispy."

After hearing this, Hui Hui stared straight at Chen Feng, as if hoping to eat what he said next moment.

However, Chen Feng smiled and said, "How about I make some for you to eat when the sweet potatoes are being hoeed at home?"

Tangtang nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, Tangtang really wants to eat it."

She looked at the sweet potatoes in the field and continued to say to Chen Feng: "Dad, Tangtang wants to eat sweet potatoes now. Are there any sweet potatoes?"

Chen Feng saw that he had already dug two, and nodded: "Okay, I'll dig a few more, and we'll go back and cook them later."

"Yeah, thank you dad."

Tangtang did not forget to hold Brother Huihui's hand and told him, "Brother Huihui, we have sweet potatoes to eat, you can eat them."

Hui Hui nodded and said to Chen Feng, "Thank you."

Chen Feng laughed, "You're welcome, you guys wait outside for a while, I'll dig it up and cut some sweet potato seedlings, and then we'll go back."

……

Soon, the three of them went home.

I also met people from the village on the way.

The other party greeted, "A Feng, where are you going?"

Chen Feng pointed to the two handfuls of sweet potato seedlings on his shoulders, "I went to the sweet potato field and cut some pigweed."

The man nodded and said, "The sweet potatoes are okay this year. The rain is just right. Your family is growing well, right?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Well, it's not bad."

After allocating fields to each household, in fact, for most diligent families, as long as there is no natural disaster, the harvest is basically good.

Especially for people like Chen Feng who are willing to spend effort to improve the fertility of their fields, the grain yield they grow will be even better.

That man knew Chen Feng's ability, and naturally also knew that his family's fields had a good harvest.

However, after the man finished speaking, he replied, "I heard from Cuilian that your family got a few rows of sweet potatoes this year and cut the seedlings, right?"

Zhang Cuilian had a lot of contact with Chen's mother on weekdays. She also told Zhang Cuilian about the pruning of Chen Feng's sweet potato seedlings.

Neighbors all discuss their own food with each other, so this matter will naturally spread.

Chen Feng nodded, "Well, my mother said, I heard people did this before. The food will be fine. Let's try it with a few lines."

The man nodded understandingly, "Your mother is an educated youth. She has read a lot and has a lot of knowledge. I guess she heard it somewhere. However, we native rural people know better about this stuff. Your mother may not understand it. But Don’t waste your time!”

The other party has no bad intentions. After all, this matter is contrary to the past principles for rural people who have been planting according to local methods.

They are all farmers who rely on the sky for their livelihood, so they naturally believe in themselves who have been farming for decades. Generally, people who hear about attempts like this will not actually implement it.

First of all, I didn’t dare to gamble, after all, I relied on these grains to live.

Of course, there are also people who are arrogant and stubborn. They think they know more and are unwilling to try new things.

Therefore, the matter of Chen Feng's family had caused discussion in the village before, with some making jokes, some approving, and some waiting and watching.

Chen Feng knew that the other party had no bad intentions, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, a few rows of sweet potatoes, no matter what, it won't be fruitless, right?"

That person thinks about it too.

When another middle-aged man heard about this, he came up with a smile and joked: "It's true that your mother is an educated youth and has read a lot, but how much does she know about rural people?"

At the end, he did not forget to add, "Women have long hair and short knowledge. What do they know? We have been farming for decades, don't we know better than she does?"
