Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

It rained for two days in a row. Today, the sky was clear and it was another hot day. Xia Zixuan and her friends got up early in the morning and went to the fields to harvest sweet potatoes while it was still cool.

Arriving at the field, Xia Zixuan took out a three-pronged fork that had been ordered a few days ago and said, "This is how you should dig the sweet potatoes. Insert it straight into the soil from here, hold the handle with your hand and lift it up. This way the sweet potatoes won't rot easily."

Xia Zixuan demonstrated it once and asked, "Have you memorized everything?"

"We all remember it, Boss." The group replied.

"Okay, let's start now!" Xia Zixuan gave an order and everyone started digging in an orderly manner.

Mu Chenyi looked at the sweet potatoes that Xia Zixuan had just dug out, reached out and picked them up. The weight in his hand was heavier than a pound of corn.

Mu Chenyi stood up and asked Xia Zixuan beside him, "Xuanxuan, how long can this sweet potato be stored?"

Xia Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Well, if it is placed in a dry cellar, it can be stored for about half a year. If it is placed outside, it will go bad quickly."

Xia Zixuan slapped her forehead after she finished speaking. She suddenly remembered that she didn't ask anyone to dig a cellar. "Oh, I'm so stupid."

Mu Chenyi quickly took her hand away and saw that she had slapped her forehead until it turned red. "Why did you suddenly slap yourself, and with such great force? Don't you know it hurts?"

Xia Zixuan smiled and rubbed her forehead twice and said, "It doesn't hurt. Ayi, you and Brother Su, quickly tell people to go back and dig the cellar."

"Oh, by the way, the cellar cannot be less than three meters deep. If the depth is enough, you can extend it around. About two and a half meters will also be fine. If it is not enough, dig a few more." Xia Zixuan explained it to the two of them carefully.

Mu Chenyi called Ying Qi, "Go tell Ying Yi and the others."

Su Baiyu also quickly said, "Ying Qi, please help me send the letter back."

"Yes, master, Mr. Su." Ying Qi responded quickly after hearing this.

After Xia Zixuan told Mu Chenyi, she called Leshan and said, "Go find a few people to dig a cellar. Remember to..."

Xia Zixuan repeated what she had just said to Mu Chenyi, "Did you remember it?"

Le Shan nodded and said, "Yes, girl, I remember everything."

"Okay, then go ahead!" Xia Zixuan waved her hand.

It took another ten days to harvest sweet potatoes, potatoes and peanuts, and today only the last half acre of peanuts are left to be harvested.

After lunch, everyone rested for an hour, and by dinner time the other half acre was harvested.

It was time for everyone's favorite weighing session again. The two village chiefs quickly asked, "Have you brought the scale?"

"Village chief, we have brought it here a long time ago. Let's start weighing it now!" said an uncle holding a scale.

"Quick, quick, weigh the sweet potatoes first. This one looks quite heavy."

An old man said with emotion: "We have been farming for almost a lifetime, and we have never seen so much food."

"Look, they've weighed it. Listen to see how many pounds it is." Someone suddenly said.

Then I heard Village Chief Ma hurriedly ask, "Quickly check how many pounds it is."

Le Shan said excitedly: "The total weight is... about 4,500 kilograms."

"What? How much did you say?" Village Chief Ma asked again, fearing that he had heard wrongly.

Le Shan cleared his throat and said, "The total weight of one acre of land is 4,500 kilograms."

“Four thousand five hundred kilograms, four thousand five hundred…” Village Chief Ma muttered as he fell backwards.

The person next to him was so scared that he quickly caught him and said, "Village Chief, Village Chief, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Village chief Ma's son and family all ran over and called out to him worriedly, "Old man, dad, grandpa, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Village chief Feng almost fainted, but his son held him and pinched his philtrum twice, so he did not faint.

Hearing that Village Chief Ma had fainted, he hurried over and said, "Go get a doctor."

Xia Zixuan, who was not far away, saw someone fainted, and she hurried over and said, "Please move aside, don't gather so many people, let me take a look."

When everyone heard Xia Zixuan's voice, they quickly made way and obediently took a few steps back.

Xia Zixuan looked at the fainted Village Chief Ma. She placed her fingers on his wrist, seemingly like a doctor taking his pulse, but in fact she was transmitting her healing abilities.

Soon, the fainted Village Chief Ma woke up. He found himself lying on the ground, with Xia Zixuan and his wife beside him.

He said, "What's wrong with me? By the way, how many pounds of sweet potatoes are there?"

Village Chief Feng's wife, Zhu, said unhappily, "Tell me why you are so excited. If the boss hadn't been here today, you wouldn't have seen the sun tomorrow."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Village Chief Ma, we can talk about the sweet potatoes later. You should go back and have a rest now."
