Xie Shiying's expression was complicated, and he couldn't say anything for a moment. This appearance fell in Tang Yi's eyes, as if he had acquiesced to his words.

"You..." Tang Yi paused, now is not a good time to propose.

"By the way, I put up the legs of the bed in the room to the west. I'll sleep there for the past few days, and the desk is in the small room below."

Tang Yi cleaned up the dishes and quickly got up to wash the dishes.

Xie Shiying didn't follow him until he walked into the kitchen.

Tang Yi put the bowls in the wooden basin, one big and one small, which looked very harmonious.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

Xie Shiying was still sitting on the stool in a daze, his expression changed, and finally he glanced at the empty seat strangely.

Could it be that Tang Yi has to wait for him to say that he is a brother before he mentions marriage?Tang Yi's evasive appearance on the contrary proved that he was interested in him.

Guessing these things is useless, Xie Shiying pressed his forehead, and got up to copy the book first.

The room next to the kitchen has been tidied up at this moment, the bed is gone, only a large table and a few chairs are left.

The wooden boxes containing the books were neatly stacked on the side against the wall, and it seemed that the changes were not small.

"I'll go find Lizheng." Tang Yi took a few sweet potatoes, wrapped them in leaves casually, stood at the door, greeted Xie Shiying, and went out.

Lizheng's home is at the head of the village. When Tang Yi came to find him, he was busy mediating disputes between the two families. After hearing Tang Yi's explanation of his visit, he asked him to quickly take out the things in his hand.

"I just bought these sweet potatoes, and I don't have a lot of them, but the businessman probably isn't short of money, so he won't lie to me."

"One cent for one?" Chen Dehai carefully looked at the things in his hand, he slapped a sweet potato as big as his palm, and it cost only one penny each.

The wrinkles on Chen Dehai's face deepened. He took out two coins from his wallet and handed them to Tang Yi, "Get me two to try first. If it's okay, I'll send someone to call the villagers."

"I don't know how to eat it yet, I plan to start researching it later." Tang Yi handed another one to Chen Dehai, and he had a better impression of Li Zheng, so he said a few more words.

"But it's okay to eat directly, and you can eat it after cooking."

"Can you eat it directly?" Chen Dehai called his eldest son over. Although Chen Xing didn't like this dusty thing, he still washed and peeled the sweet potatoes under Tang Yi's guidance.

His eyes lit up as he peeled.

"Is this sweet?"

"Just now he looked like the boss was not happy." Chen Dehai smiled and asked him to continue cutting off a few small pieces with a knife.

One of them took a piece and put it in his mouth. When he first tasted it, he didn't dare to bite, but soon the two of them ate half of it. Chen Dehai asked Chen Xing to take the undamaged one to the kitchen to cook, and the other half was Cut into pieces and put on a plate.

"This doesn't have to be many times the wheat yield, but if it can be the same, it won't hurt if it's heavier." Chen Dehai looked at Tang Yi with relief.

"I'll let Chen Xing find someone."

Chen Xing responded, took the gong from the house and went out.

Seeing him go out excitedly, Tang Yi always had the feeling that this time it would be a big hit. He immediately looked at the sweet potatoes in his space, thinking about the situation before making another plan.

At least they can't let their family have nothing to grow.

Chen Dehai took Tang Yi to the ancestral hall, and checked the price and quantity of sweet potatoes several times on the way. Hearing Tang Yi's calm words, there was a hint of appreciation on his face.

"Boy Tang is about to get married this year, right?"

"Yeah." Tang Yi didn't know how the topic shifted to this, so he nodded.

In at least a month, he will be busy.

"If you can think highly of my old bones, you might as well tell me when you get engaged, and I can hold you in the palm of your hand." Chen Dehai said cheerfully.

Tang Yi glanced at him in surprise. Chen Dehai, as Li Zheng, was no longer something he helped him to see, but he was still supporting him invisibly.

Although he doesn't need any elders to intimidate Xie Shiying, it would be much more convenient to be friends with Li Zheng. He thought for a while and replied with a smile, "Definitely."

While the two were talking, a lot of people had poured into the yard outside the ancestral hall.

Most of the people who come here are the one who can make the decision in the family, after all, every time Lizheng looks for someone, it is to bring up serious business.

"Everyone be quiet," Chen Dehai watched as Chen Xing came from behind, and knew that the notification was over, so he asked him to go back and get all the sweet potatoes.

When Chen Xing came over, Chen Dehai told everyone about Tang Yi's purchase of sweet potatoes.

"This food is indeed edible, and it produces more than wheat. It only takes four months to eat it." Although Chen Dehai is old, he has a lot of prestige in the village.

As soon as he spoke at this moment, someone expressed his intention to buy it.

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Chen Dehai nodded in satisfaction, and asked Chen Xing to pass the plate over.

Only the people in the front rows got the cut sweet potatoes, but the sweet smell of the cooked sweet potatoes still made people unable to take their eyes off them.

Chen Dehai continued under the urging eyes of everyone, "One penny, each family can buy five at most. When planting, they can be cut into pieces, so three is already a lot."

"It's just edible. Who knows if it can be grown, and it will be paid for a penny. Maybe he sold it to us because he was afraid that he would not be able to grow it."

Mrs. Zhang was among the crowd, and she was lucky enough to get a piece of sweet potato. It was sweet in her mouth, but her heart was sour.

As soon as she said this, the others hesitated.

Although five cents is not much, it would be distressing if nothing could be planted.

"Lizheng, if the sweet potatoes were harvested in October, wouldn't the land be empty?" Zhao Fei was also a little moved. , you can eat more this winter.

He just came back from the border this year. The two elderly people in his family are not young, and they don't grow much food. He eats two of them. This winter, he will definitely have to buy food, which costs more than five yuan.

"After October, I have nothing to do for the time being, but if everyone finds vegetables that can survive the winter, it will be great to plant some." Chen Dehai shook his head.

"Isn't that field going to be empty for several months?" Many people asked the question at once.

"The loss in these four months is half of our food for half a year. The whole family relies on the food in the field."

Tang Yi stood aside, not worried at all, just glanced across the crowd, and took note of the two malicious eyes.

Apart from these, there was another strange thing. Tang Yi looked at Feng Xiulan who was avoiding his eyes, and felt a little more puzzled in his heart.

"Now those who want to buy come over and register, and the others can leave." Chen Dehai calmly watched them finish their quarrel before opening his mouth.

He is getting older, and he is no longer as strong as he was when he was young. He has to convince these people.

There are five sweet potatoes in the family, and I am afraid that the land they occupy in the end is only a fraction of the land, so they will lose half a year's grain.

Chen Dehai bit his head secretly, watching as Chen Xing began to register.

Zhao Fei was the first to stand up. He didn't miss the five cents, so he took the money readily, and planned to stay and follow Tang Yi to his house to get it later.

After that, another six or seven families came out one after another, and the rest were just waiting and watching.

Tang Yi didn't intend to sell much at all. He sold it at a low price. Although the above amount was more than he thought, it was still within the acceptable range.

He nodded, and planned to collect the paper and take someone back to get the sweet potatoes.

"Wait a minute." Meng Fan ran over and quickly put down the money in his hand, "I want five too."

"Brother Fan, you don't have any land yet." Chen Dehai looked at him and reminded him worriedly.

Meng Fan took a deep breath, "I'm sensible."

As soon as he took the family members out and was going to find some mountain products, he heard someone talking about buying sweet potatoes.

Five cents is not much for him. He has not bought land until now because he has no seeds at home. Some of them are not enough for him to eat, and it would be a waste to plant them again.

When Tang Yi heard that he didn't even have any land and wanted to buy it now, he let go of his frowning brows and led the people towards his home.

There were five sweet potatoes per person, and he took out a basket from the house, divided five among them, and told them how to grow seedlings.

"Brother Tang," Zhao Xing was confused when he heard it. Where did he grow land, but his observation ability is not weak. He saw the sweet potato seedlings growing in the yard early in the morning, and he just laughed after listening to Tang Yi's words. Twice.

"This is the first time for us. Why don't I plant two by myself, and you plant three for me. When the seedlings grow, I will come and pick them up. How much do you think is suitable?"

"One penny." He can throw these in the soil at will and they will grow up, but it's definitely not enough to give them to humans for nothing.

Zhao Xing and the others cheerfully took out the money, and even Meng Fan handed it to him without batting an eye.

It feels good to be trusted, Tang Yi put the list in his arms, and planted these in the yard when he came back.

"Sold so much?" Xie Shiying saw that he handed the list to himself, asked him to put it away, and glanced at it casually.

"Sold seventy in total." Tang Yi found a box in the study, put the money in it and counted it again. He sold ten over there. He originally planned to give away a few, but Chen Dehai insisted on not wanting it. Said to let him sell more.

"but……"

Xie Shiying folded the paper and put it away, looking at him.

"Forget it," Tang Yi put Feng Xiulan's reaction behind her. This is not the end of the world, and there is no need to be so suspicious.

"I'm going to plant wheat in the afternoon, and I'll start planting early tomorrow. I have to go to town when I'm done."

I had to go to the town to inquire about the prices of different grades of rice noodles. Tang Yi thought about it, and then asked Xie Shiying, "By the way, what do you think of us buying a servant?"

"Do you want to help with farming?" Xie Shiying stopped what he was doing.

He can also estimate the price of Tang Yi's money, and there are still a lot of people who want to buy someone. "It's better to hire a helper first, and let's talk after we've been busy for a while."

Tang Yi also thought about the money issue, and reluctantly agreed with Xie Shiying's statement, but took this matter to heart.

That night, he began to study lo-mei again. There are ready-made seasoning packets in his space, but those things can't be used for a lifetime, and he has to find the things here.

In summer, the weather is sultry, braised meat and cold dishes are also good choices.

Tang Yi studied seriously, and Xie Shiying also tasted carefully, and one night can be regarded as a small gain.

It's just that Xie Shiying inevitably had enough to eat, so he fell asleep in the middle of the night, and woke up a little late the next day.

He was squatting in the yard brushing his teeth, only to realize that Tang Yi seemed to have asked him to deliver water and food, so he quickly speeded up.

Tang Yi planned to save the field near the Tang family for last planting, and the field he went to in the morning was the Tang family's field.

He was digging holes to throw seeds, and he had been busy here for more than an hour, but he still didn't see Xie Shiying's figure, so he had to hoe the ground even more bored.

Xie Shiying stumbled on the road for a while and hurried to the field before he adjusted his expression.
