Lu Chengcheng thought it was okay. There was no need to worry about some of the fresh sweet potatoes rotting, but the shelf life of such sweet potatoes was not long since they were out of season after all.

After some discussion, Lu Chengcheng decided to go and investigate in person.

After discussing with the store owner, Lu Chengcheng loaded the truck and went there.

The location was a bit far and it took five hours to drive there. By the time Lu Chengcheng arrived at the destination, his butt was sore from sitting.

"Finally got off the truck." Lu Chengcheng jumped off the truck and quickly stretched his body.

A man came over and asked, "Excuse me, are you Lu Chengcheng?"

Lu Chengcheng looked at the other person. He had dark skin, a strong body, and the aura of strength of a farmer. "It's me. Are you the boss of the sweet potato business?"

"Yes, I'm Jiang Hua." Jiang Hua pointed in a direction, "My sweet potato field is in that direction. I'll take you there."

"Okay." Lu Chengcheng followed Jiang Hua and walked over. "What kind of sweet potato is it? Is it suitable for washing noodles?"

Jiang Hua listed them all: "I grow 9408, a starchy corn variety introduced from abroad, with a flour yield of 27%, red skin and white flesh, short vines and small leaves, short stems and dark green leaves, strong adaptability, good taste, storage resistance, high yield, especially suitable for starch processing, high flour yield, high starch viscosity, suitable for processing vermicelli, and the vermicelli made does not break easily..."

Lu Chengcheng thought it was okay: "Let me take a look first."

"Sure." Jiang Hua took Lu Chengcheng into the greenhouse. "All the plants here are sweet potatoes. I'll dig one up and show it to you."

"Okay." Lu Chengcheng said.

Jiang Hua took the hoe and dug sweet potatoes in front of Lu Chengcheng.

I dug out four big sweet potatoes from one vine. They had red skin, not many wrinkles or insect holes, and looked really good.

Lu Chengcheng said in a joking tone: "You used a lot of fertilizers and pesticides, right?"

Jiang Hua admitted: "It would be a lie to say that I don't use any, but fertilizers and pesticides are expensive nowadays, and I don't use much either, so don't worry."

Lu Chengcheng asked, "Can you peel it so I can taste it?"

"Sure." Jiang Hua picked up a sweet potato, washed it under the tap, peeled it with a knife, and finally handed it to Lu Chengcheng.

Lu Chengcheng took a bite and found that this was a starchy sweet potato, not the crispy kind. It would be more sticky after being cooked. It tasted average now, and the main attraction was the starch content.

After eating it, Lu Chengcheng was quite satisfied: "Your sweet potato is good."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "That's for sure. Otherwise, how could I dare to let you come to my house to see me? I have the confidence to do so."

Lu Chengcheng said, "Find someone to dig sweet potatoes. Dig a cart of them for me..." She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you just sell all the sweet potatoes you have to me? You name a price."

Jiang Hua was a little surprised: "If you want all of them, I definitely won't let you pay a high price."

Lu Chengcheng said: "Then it's a pleasure to work with you."

Jiang Hua said: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Jiang Hua made a phone call and soon several people came. One of them was driving a machine. The machine was similar to the one Lu Chengcheng used to dig sweet potatoes and potatoes. It seemed that he was also using a machine to dig.

One person drives the machine and digs in the front, while several people pick up the sweet potatoes behind and put them into sacks, which makes weighing and loading and unloading convenient.

Lu Chengcheng stood aside and watched them work, just as if he was taking a break.

The truck that Lu Chengcheng drove over was a large one that could carry six tons, or more than ten thousand kilograms. Jiang Hua and his friends could not finish digging it all in a day.

Seeing that the efficiency was not high, Jiang Hua called and asked for another machine to come and help with the digging.

With two machines digging together, the efficiency is higher.

After two days of digging, Lu Chengcheng finally got the quantity he needed. He weighed it, transferred it to the truck, paid the money, and then went home.

……

The employees of the sweet potato factory were ready. When the truck arrived at the factory gate, people came out to unload the goods.

With the supply of goods, the factory started production immediately.

The sweet potato factory mainly produces: sweet potato starch, sweet potato vermicelli, dried sweet potato and sweet potato chips.

Three days later, the four products were ready for production, and Lu Chengcheng asked Xu Ye to put them on the online store.

Due to the trust in Lu Chengcheng, the products sold a lot as soon as they were put on the shelves.

Lu Chengcheng is a person who pays more attention to product quality, so the production was not high at the beginning and the products were always sold out. Some small merchants who wanted to wholesale were rejected. Now he only sells online.

Ning Yushuang was the one who tasted the French fries and potato chips that Lu Chengcheng specially sent to her.

After work that day, Ning Yushuang hurried back home, opened the express delivery sent by Lu Chengcheng to her, and took out the items inside.

"These should be the French fries and potato chips that Cheng Cheng mentioned."

Ning Yushuang opened the exquisite packaging and tasted it: "They are all crispy, with a strong sweet potato aroma, not sweet or greasy, and full of caramel aroma. They are delicious."

Before she knew it, Ning Yushuang had finished a bag of sweet potato fries and sweet potato chips. She then sent a WeChat message to Lu Chengcheng: "Chengcheng, the sweet potato fries and sweet potato chips you sent me are so delicious. I ate two bags at once. Do you have any more? Want some more?"

Lu Chengcheng: "Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow, and I'll also send you some sweet potato starch and sweet potato vermicelli, both are delicious."

Ning Yushuang: "Chengcheng, you are the best."

Lu Chengcheng: "Just be happy. Wait, I'll make the arrangements."

Ning Yushuang put her phone aside and opened a bag of sweet potato chips to eat: "Cheng Cheng's food is delicious. How can I live without her?"

……

Due to the good quality and taste of the products, Lu Chengcheng's sweet potato products were sold out as soon as they were put on sale.

Lu Chengcheng called Jiang Hua and asked him to dig more sweet potatoes as she was preparing to transport the second batch.

Jiang Hua was happy to see this happen and immediately started preparing.

Lu Chengcheng arranged the matters of the sweet potato factory, then came to the shallows next to the reservoir, filled it with a foot-deep water, and then sprinkled the lotus seeds evenly in the water.

After sprinkling the lotus seeds, Lu Chengcheng came to the next location, where they were also digging shallows to prepare for raising crayfish.

We are still digging now, but it is still the first month of the year, so we have more time and can dig slowly without rushing.

Li Linchuan came over: "Cheng Cheng."

"Yeah." Lu Chengcheng nodded to Li Linchuan, "Can you still adapt?"

Li Linchuan adapted well: "Okay."

Lu Chengcheng asked: "Do you know how to buy fish fry?"

Li Linchuan smiled and said, "Are you ready to buy fish fry?"

Lu Chengcheng said: "Yes, I am going to buy fish fry, but I want to raise some expensive fish. Ordinary fish are not valuable and there is not much value in raising them."

Li Linchuan asked: "For example, what kind of fish do you want to raise?"

Lu Chengcheng said: "Tilapia, mandarin fish, yellow croaker, freshwater grouper, sea bass, catfish, river grouper, mullet, spoonbill sturgeon, mandarin fish, Yangtze River knife fish, etc."

Li Linchuan understood what Lu Chengcheng meant: "I can go buy it, and the price can be negotiated very low."
