Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

When Zheng Dashan returned home, Zhou Chunfeng looked at him and said, "Dashan, do you think you should tell the Yang family about this sweet potato?"

First of all, the Yang family lives next door to theirs, and if there is any movement in their house, it is impossible for the Yang family not to know.

Secondly, both families have the intention of getting married. Although her daughter has no idea at the moment, she feels that there is no one more suitable for her daughter than Yang Shuhuai.

Since our two families are going to be relatives in the future, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to hide it from them now?

Zhou Chunfeng expressed her thoughts, and Zheng Dashan nodded immediately, "Okay, actually I was thinking of telling Changqing too, so I'll go find him now."

Zheng Dashan went to the Yang family again and told Yang Changqing that he would come over to help tomorrow.

Yang Changqing didn't think much about it and agreed immediately.

The next morning, Old Man Zheng took Old Man Zhou, the two Zhou brothers, and Yang Changqing to the back mountain.

Zheng Dashan took the three Mao Gen brothers to the five acres of land in the village.

At this moment, everyone was running up the mountain to pick acorns, and there were few people in the fields.

Zheng Dashan first demonstrated to the three brothers. When the red sweet potatoes were dug out, the three brothers opened their mouths wide.

This sweet potato vine actually grew five sweet potatoes that were bigger than fists.

Zheng Dashan was also a little surprised. The sweet potatoes they had dug out from the mountain before only produced two or three sweet potatoes on one vine.

The growth of crops here is much better than those on the mountain.

Mao Gen picked up a sweet potato and looked at it. "Uncle, can this really be eaten as food?"

Zheng Dashan nodded, "It can indeed be eaten as food, and it tastes pretty good.

When you get back at noon, ask your aunt to cook some for you to try."

Mao Gen smiled and responded, "That's great, let's try what this sweet potato tastes like."

Mao Laoer and Mao Laosan also agreed with a smile. If the sweet potatoes were really so delicious, they would plant some next year no matter what.

Next, Zheng Dashan taught them how to dig sweet potatoes. The sweet potato skin must not be damaged, otherwise it cannot be stored.

The three brothers all took notes carefully, but they were a little slow to get the hang of it at first.

But after all, they were all experienced farmers, and they quickly increased their speed after getting familiar with the skills.

The people who went up the mountain also arrived at the sweet potato field. Yang Changqing was the only one here who had never seen sweet potatoes.

When the first sweet potato was dug out, Yang Changqing was almost dazed.

Did he hear it right? This red thing was actually food? And it was food that he had never seen before?

Although he was curious about why the Zheng family planted so many unfamiliar leaves in the fields, he just thought that these leaves were edible.

The Zheng family had also brought a lot of sweet potato leaves to their house before, and they tasted very good when cooked in vegetables.

He really didn't expect that the real edible food was under these leaves.

As he dug more and more sweet potatoes underground, his surprised expression turned into shock.

Isn’t the output of this thing too high?

In this small area, they dug out hundreds of kilograms of sweet potatoes.

He looked at the dozens of acres of land in front of him and didn't dare to think about how many sweet potatoes he could harvest if he dug up all the land.

Not only was he shocked, the three brothers of the Mao family in the village were equally shocked at this moment.

But now they were so shocked that they were numb and they were digging out sweet potatoes one by one mechanically.

Not long after, Zhou Chunfeng came over with a bag. While they were digging outside, she was responsible for filling the bag.

After loading more than a dozen bags, she used a cow to pull the bags back home.

After returning home, Zheng Xiaoman helped dump the sweet potatoes in the backyard, and Zhou Chunfeng took the empty bag to the field.

Fortunately, their family now has two cows that can pull things, so one cow on each side is just enough.

As the sweet potatoes in the yard piled higher and higher, it soon reached noon.

The two old ladies at home had helped prepare lunch. Zheng Xiaoman even picked out some damaged sweet potatoes and cooked a big pot of them.

It was not until the sun reached its highest point that everyone came back, drenched in sweat.

Zheng Xiaoman had two large vats of hot water in the yard. The water was warm at the moment, perfect for taking a shower.

Their family built a shed in the yard specifically for everyone to take a bath.

Several people went to the shed to wash up one by one, and came out to drink a large bowl of iced mung bean soup. Only then did they finally feel better.

When it was time for dinner, Yang Changqing and the three brothers of the Mao family ate sweet potatoes for the first time.

Yang Changqing took a bite of the soft, sweet sweet potato and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

The three brothers of the Mao family were not much better than him. Their hands were shaking so much that you would have thought they had had a stroke.

Old Man Zheng said with a smile: "We found these sweet potatoes by accident in the mountains. There were not many of them, so we kept them all for our own seeds.

I didn't plant much this year, so I didn't dare to announce it to the public. I thought I would plant more next year and then tell everyone about it.

Otherwise, whether you give to someone or not, it will offend others.”

Yang Changqing came back to his senses and nodded in agreement, "That's right, there are dozens of families in our village, and every family in the village has a few relatives from other villages.

If all of this were given to you at once, what you have planted would definitely not be enough.

Besides, as the old saying goes, a little kindness pays off, and a big kindness pays grudges. Maybe by then, instead of saying good things about you, I will remember your grudges."

Mao Gen also nodded and said, "Uncle Changqing is right, people's minds are hard to predict, so it's better to be careful.

Besides, my second uncle told us about the acorns before, which has helped us a lot."

Everyone understands this, but this person can never get over the word greed.

You give a little, and they want more.

If you can't give it, they will blame you for not giving it.

By then, it will be a thankless task and you will be unpopular with everyone.

Old Man Zheng sighed, "It's impossible to keep it a secret forever, everyone will know it sooner or later.

But no matter what, we have to wait until next year. This year, we will give these sweet potatoes to the families present here first. "

Yang Changqing didn't expect that he also had it. He thought Zheng Dashan trusted him and asked him to help.

He said hesitantly, "If we all planted it, everyone in the village would definitely know about it."

Zheng Dashan smiled and said, "If you know, just know. I didn't intend to keep it a secret. It's good that we can collect more than everyone else for one year.

The main reason is that the government does not know that sweet potatoes are grain, so they will not collect grain tax.

But once everyone has planted sweet potatoes, this news will surely spread, and then I’m afraid the sweet potatoes will also have to pay a grain tax.”

My eldest brother-in-law Zhou Guian said: "We are not afraid of collecting grain taxes. I think the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is over a thousand kilograms. After paying the grain taxes, we can still have a lot left.

Moreover, paying the grain tax with sweet potatoes is much more cost-effective than paying the tax with wheat."

Old Man Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, these sweet potatoes are big and heavy, and much more cost-effective than wheat."

Zheng Xiaoman was listening to everyone talking, but he was thinking about how to turn these sweet potatoes into money.

At the beginning, you can directly sell sweet potatoes. This is a new thing and there will definitely be a lot of people interested in it.

When more people grow it, they can no longer sell it directly. It is best to make it into food.
