Everyone's eyes turned to the pile of potatoes, and they all kept glancing at Meixiang with gleaming eyes.

Chen Da and others turned the potato field over three times to make sure that all the potatoes were dug out. The exciting moment was coming. Chen San and Mei Ying had already brought out the weighing tools. In everyone's amazed eyes, the three mu of land produced a total of 1200 jin in one season, and the average yield per mu reached nearly 400 jin. The onlookers looked at the piles of potatoes and knew that there would be a lot of them, but they were still shocked to see the number with their own eyes.

Some of the brave ones quietly approached Meixiang and asked cautiously: "Miss Liu, I also want to plant some. How do I plant them? Can you give me some seeds?"

"Ms. Liu, I want to plant some too."

"I want it too, I want it too."

Meixiang turned around to look at the people surrounding her and was about to speak when the voice of Village Chief Ou suddenly rang out: "Neighbors, neighbors, I am the village chief of the neighboring Xiaoliu Village. My last name is Ou and you can call me Village Chief Ou."

When the discussion died down, Village Chief Ou looked at Meixiang and saw that she did not say anything to stop him. He took a deep breath and continued, "We also have potatoes produced in Xiaoliu Village this season. To make it easier for the villagers to buy potatoes, I plan to open up a piece of open space in the south of Xiaoliu Village for everyone to trade. Starting the day after tomorrow, the price of potatoes will not exceed ten cents per catty. Interested villagers can go and have a look then."

As soon as Village Chief Ou finished speaking, the people who had been surrounding Meixiang suddenly surrounded Village Chief Ou and started asking questions at once.

"Village Chief Ou, do you really have potatoes in Xiaoliu Village?" one of them asked loudly.

"Yes, yes. I would never dare to speak rashly. Miss Liu has already confirmed it."

Li Yan and the others all looked at Mei Xiang, only to see her smiling and nodding.

"Then can we really all buy potato seeds?" two of them asked doubtfully.

"I can't guarantee that everyone can buy it. After all, I don't know how many villagers want to grow it. But you can go there early that day to try your luck." Village Chief Ou replied with a smile, "As for planting, the young man and the young woman have already told everyone the key points. If you still have questions, you can ask them again."

At this time, Meixiang said, "Liu Dazhuang and Liu Yuan from Liujia Village have participated in breeding and planting. Later, Village Chief Liu will organize everyone to learn. Other villages can also come to learn and ask for advice. If necessary, the Liu Mansion can also send people to help everyone."

"That's good. I want to try planting some next season. The yield is so high. Now I don't have to worry about going hungry in the future, right?"

"You're right, we can try this."

Everyone looked at the pile of potatoes, thought about the soft texture they had just eaten, and now heard Village Chief Ou say that they could exchange them for money. Their minds began to become active, and they began to calculate how much spare money they could have to buy potatoes for breeding.

Meixiang happily watched everyone's eager expressions and said, "I would like to take this opportunity to announce something on behalf of the Liu family. We should all thank the Liu family at the north end of Xiaoliu Village for the growth of these potatoes."

"Perhaps everyone has heard that Old Man Liu almost lost his life due to eating something by mistake. He ate potatoes by mistake at that time, and I happened to come across them, which led to today's bumper harvest of potatoes. To thank Old Man Liu, I decided to give his family 100 jin. If anyone finds something new later, they can bring it to Liu's house. Once it is confirmed to be useful, they can get a reward. But I want to remind everyone here to be sure before trying to pick, so as not to lose their lives like Old Man Liu did."

"Wow, this time Old Man Liu turned a disaster into a blessing and made a fortune."

"We should be more careful next time. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you must be more careful."

Meixiang ignored the villagers who were talking non-stop. If the news got out, the door of Liu's house would be trampled. But she was happy to see it. She calmed down and continued, "Which village chiefs are here today? If you have time, you can go to Liu's house and chat with us." Then she took the lead and walked towards Liu's house.

"By the way, Chen Da and Chen Er, you must immediately weigh out a hundred jin and send it to Old Man Liu's home in Xiaoliu Village, and explain to him clearly what I just said." Meixiang took a few steps and turned back to give the order.

"Yes, ma'am."

In addition to Village Chief Ou and Head Liu, there were three other village chiefs who came to watch the potato digging today. Two villagers also came over and approached Meixiang and asked carefully, "Miss Liu, our village chief has something to do today and can't come over, so he sent us to check on the situation. Can you wait a moment? Someone has gone back to call him."

"Oh? He sent you here?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Our village chief has been paying attention to the situation in your village. He really has something to do and can't come over today, so he asked us to come and take a look." One of the farmers replied with a red face.

If this is really the case, she is willing to give their village a chance, and then asked: "How long will it take to get there?"

The two villagers were delighted when they heard this, looked at each other and quickly replied, "It will be here soon. Village Chief Ou has already sent someone to report back while he was speaking."

"That's thoughtful. Can the village heads just sit down and wait for him for a while?" Meixiang looked at the two farmers with anxious and happy faces and turned to ask.

"Of course, of course."

"We are not in a hurry, no hurry, no hurry."

The guest should follow the host's wishes. No one would spoil the fun at this time even if there were dissatisfaction in their hearts. The five village chiefs looked at Meixiang and expressed their opinions in response.

When several people finished drinking a bowl of tea at the conference table, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and dark complexion, about the same age as Village Chief Ou, came over breathlessly. While wiping the sweat from his forehead, he apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, everyone. It just so happens that today a woman in the village has been in labor for two days and one night, and the man in the family is not at home, so I went to help watch over her. That's why I'm late, I hope everyone can forgive me, forgive me."

In Haoyue, where the population is seriously short, the birth of a new child is a great joyous event for the whole village. However, a difficult birth is really something that makes people unhappy. If things go wrong, it may result in two deaths.

"Village Chief Wang, how is the woman doing now? Has the baby been born? Have they hired a midwife or doctor?" Village Chief Ou asked anxiously. It was obvious that the two were old acquaintances.
