No one’s money comes from strong winds, and no one is a fool.

But this time is different. This time, Aunt Zhu discovered the "new food" and also figured out how to grow it. She taught it to everyone "for free". What is this other than a benefactor?

After a while, the clan leader was also invited over.

Like Zhu Lizheng and Mrs. Lizheng, she was extremely happy, gnawing on a raw sweet potato as if chewing something, smiling from ear to ear.

Of course, after hearing what Ye Yuran said, I wanted to leave a piece of it for sowing, but I was worried that some second-rate person would be jealous of their family's harvest and it would cause trouble in the future.

Li Zheng, the clan leaders are all sensible people, and they understand everything when they hear it.

The Zhu family has planted two large fields of sweet potatoes. It is impossible to keep them all. There must be some harvest.

However, there is still some time before the autumn harvest. The Zhu family has started collecting food rations so early. How can they not be jealous?

They don't care what kind of rations the Zhu family receives, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they are eating "alone" and will be punished by God.

In addition, the Zhu family just built a new house not long ago. If it continues to attract attention at this juncture, it will really attract people's "hate".

"Well, okay, we'll take on this matter." Li Zheng, the clan leader thought for a moment, but agreed to the matter.

Although the Zhu family has selfish motives, it is also for the sake of the villagers. And if it is done well, it will be a great achievement!

After the discussion was completed, the Zhu family began to harvest sweet potatoes.

At first, not many people noticed it. After all, no one would run outside in such a bright sun.

But when Zhu Da and Zhu Er went to pick things up at home, they would be glanced at by people passing by.

"What are you picking on?" An old man stretched his neck and looked curious.

Because he had been given the explanation, Zhu Da answered generously: "Pick sweet potatoes. We planted them early this year, so we can harvest them as soon as possible before the autumn harvest. I'm not busy."

“What are sweet potatoes?”

"The food is just like rice. It can fill your stomach, but you won't be as hungry."

"What?! Can you fill your stomach?!" The old man couldn't sit still anymore and rushed over with a futon fan, "It's real or fake, you won't lie to me, right?"

"I'm not lying to you. If you want to see it, go to my sweet potato field and have a look. My brothers are still harvesting it." Zhu Da pointed in the direction and told the old man where he was.

The more the old man thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He went back to the house and got a bamboo hat, then told his family and went out.

"What can fill your stomach? Aren't you deceived by Zhu Da?" The old woman was enjoying the cool air in the house and looked at her two grandsons in complete disbelief.

"Impossible. I see that they have carried two heavy loads, and the loads are bent. They have worked so hard. Why are they deceiving me? I will go to their fields and have a look."

"Okay, go ahead."

There are many people like the old man who go out.

After hearing the news, Zhu Jia, Zhu Laosan, Zhu Laosi, etc. all ran out.

In twos and threes, we made an appointment to go to Zhu's sweet potato field.

Someone saw Zhu Jia and asked, "Uncle Zhu Jia, what do they grow in their sweet potato field?"

Zhu Jia said: "Sweet potato."

"I know it's a sweet potato, but what I'm asking is, what is a sweet potato? Isn't it just a vegetable leaf?"

Zhu Jia said: "How do I know this? I have never planted it."

When they got to the field, the group discovered that the sweet potatoes were different from rice. They did not grow on the ground, but were grown underground.

There is a big leaf holding a vine on the top, and there are fist-sized red-skinned fruits growing underneath. Those red-skinned fruits are sweet potatoes.

"This shouldn't be called sweet potatoes, but red sweet potatoes, right?" Someone squatted on the Zhu family's field and looked at their busy figures and said.

Old man Zhu took the time to rest and said with a smile: "My old lady gave this name to me. She said the skin is red, so she called it sweet potato. She yelled and screamed, so she got used to it. Hahahaha..."

"Old man Zhu, your land is so big and the harvest is pretty good. How many can you harvest in one bag?" Zhu Jia also came over and asked.

"At least this number." Old Man Zhu stretched out a hand and said, "Some are more than this number, and the most can be doubled."

Someone next to him took a breath: "Isn't this too much?! How much does it take to harvest one millet? You can harvest that much with one millet?! My dear, old man Zhu, your family is prosperous!

"

When I looked at the large sweet potato field in front of me, my eyes turned red with jealousy.

How many sweet potatoes can be harvested from such a large piece of land?!

"It must be enough for the Chinese New Year. Mr. Zhu's family, since your family has received so much, let me celebrate the Chinese New Year a little bit. My family is all eating porridge."

"My family is the same, old man Zhu, fellow villagers, please help me."

"My family can't even afford porridge anymore, and I don't know if it can last until the autumn harvest. Old man Zhu, you must give me some more, otherwise my family will sell our daughter."

…

On the spot, someone spoke up and wanted to excuse themselves.

Ye Yuran had been paying attention to what was going on here when someone came around. As soon as he heard someone asking Old Man Zhu to borrow food, he immediately came over and shouted: "It's your business to sell your daughter, what does it have to do with my family?

What's the matter, are you raising your daughter for my family?"

"Uh... Aunt Zhu." When he saw it was her, the person who spoke had a sly expression.

It's just that the unwillingness in my heart is definitely there.

Taking advantage of the large number of people and the cover of others, someone continued: "It's such a big piece of land, just spread it out a few times. There is really no other way. If you can live a living, who would say this? Don't you think so?"

"yes."

"Isn't that right? I'm already drinking porridge."

"Oh, life is not easy these days."

…

Zhu Jia frowned slightly, but standing in the crowd, he couldn't say anything.

The Zhu family has been in the limelight recently, so it's no wonder some people can't help but be jealous and want to cause trouble.

"Okay, you can borrow it if you want," Ye Yuran interrupted them directly and said loudly, "If you want to borrow my family's food, you can go to Li Zheng to make an IOU. As long as the autumn harvest is over, you can't

I want to get sweet potato seedlings from my family and follow my family to plant winter sweet potatoes."

As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately became silent.

"What do you mean by this?" Zhu Jia was also stunned and asked, "What do you mean sweet potato seedlings, winter sweet potatoes?"

Miao, as everyone knows, refers to the small seedlings in the field.

Everyone knows that sweet potatoes are something that can fill the stomach. But what does it mean when there is a word "winter" in front of it?

Zhu Jia thought of the "winter wheat" that Zhu's family had planted last year, but he couldn't believe it and was eager to hear the exact answer from someone.

Everyone else also looked over.

In an instant, Ye Yuran became the focus of attention, as if being stared at by a group of hungry wolves with green eyes.

An ordinary person would have panicked and been speechless, but her face was expressionless and calm.

She said: "It means that this land is my family's experimental land, which is used to test whether the sweet potato can be grown. Now that the sweet potato planting has been successful, our family has discussed with Li Zheng and the clan leader to leave a batch of breeding
