"It seems that my plan is going to fail." Zhou Ying said with a depressed face.

"what's the plan?"

"Sweet Potato Teng, I still want to collect some to be transported to the Zhuangzi for the cattle and sheep to eat, the wind that was just released in the morning."

After hearing this, Gu Chengrui pondered for a moment and then said: "The sweet potatoes in the space are also ripe.

Next, let's go to the village to help harvest the sweet potatoes. Then I will cover you, and you can take some out of the space. "

"That's fine, by the way, you can serve the food first, and you can start the meal when the fire is lit."

"Okay." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he walked out and started serving the dishes on the table.

After Gu Chengrui took it back for a while, when he came back again, the patriarch and shopkeeper Liu also came over to help carry the dishes.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the sweet potatoes on display and asked in surprise, "Miss Zhou, can this sweet potato be used for cooking?"

"Yes, but eat as much as possible later, you may be full."

"I see. It just so happens that I also taste the taste of sweet potatoes."

"Why, you have never eaten such a large piece of sweet potato."

"I can't bear it, I only ate sweet potatoes." After the shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, he began to help serve the dishes.

When they were almost finished, the charcoal was also burned, and after it was packed, Gu Chengrui carried it in.

In the end, Zhou Ying served them a five-jin jar of sorghum wine, and then went back to the kitchen to use the leftover sour soup to make a fat sheep with sour soup, and had a full meal.

After the meal, a group of people started to collect sweet potatoes in the village, of course it was not in vain. The price given by the third prince was ten cents a catty, which was quite high.

Therefore, most people in the village are still willing, after all, they can be planted again after the spring of next year.

Of course, Zhou Ying's house was the first stop. After setting aside a thousand catties of sweet potatoes, the remaining six thousand catties were taken away.

After they left, Zhou Ying simply leveled the land and planted potherb mustard, rapeseed and spinach.

Then, I harvested half of the sweet potatoes and put them in the cellar, and planned to peel the other half with a paring knife, then cut them into small pieces, and save them for eating when the weather was good.

After dinner in the evening, Zhou Ying asked curiously: "Brother Rui, how much are the sweet potatoes in the village for one mu of land?"

"Don't wait, but generally speaking, the spring sweet potatoes are more than 6,000 catties, and the later ones are a little bit worse, but generally speaking, they are quite good."

"That's good, at least it can ensure that everyone has food to eat." Zhou Ying said.

In the next three days, the husband and wife began to go to the farm to help harvest sweet potatoes, and of course they would take some sweet potatoes out from time to time.

However, because of old age, she didn't dare to take more, only about 20 mu of sweet potatoes.

After the sweet potatoes planted earlier were harvested, the third prince asked shopkeeper Liu: "How much is the sweet potato in this village equal to one mu?"

"The subordinate weighed it, and the one in the field is about eight thousand catties, and the one on the grassland is worse, about five thousand catties.

By the way, there are still a batch of plants that are late. What Zhou Ying means is that they have to wait another month before harvesting. Shopkeeper Liu paused at this point and said: "If you say that the sweet potato harvest is the best, it is Zhou Ying's family, and the yield per mu is more than 9,000 catties."

It is said that it is because the sweet potatoes in her family have not been short of water, so I really have to find sandy land with sufficient water as she said. "

The third prince nodded in agreement and asked, "How many acres are left?"

"About 300 acres, which were planted after the subordinates came here."

"Then let's keep it all, in addition to the rations of the people in Zhuangzi, there are also seeds for next year.

Furthermore, after harvesting the sweet potatoes, you continue to stay on the Zhuangzi, one is to protect the safety of their husband and wife, and the other is to protect the cattle, sheep and the remaining seeds.

If the year is good next year, you will cooperate with County Magistrate Kong to promote sweet potatoes in Yunhe County. "
