After becoming a lazy, fake heiress, she handed over the system.

Chapter 918 Orc Plane 27
Yan Mo told Xia Yue and the others about the circumstances and regulations of the rally.

“We still have half a month to go before the rally. The round trip will take one and a half months. If there is some delay, it will take two months.

The potatoes in our fields will be ready for harvest in ten days. We will harvest them in a week and show them to the tribesmen. As for the sweet potatoes, it will take more than a month. If time is delayed, we can ask the priests to help harvest them. We just need to tell them how to harvest them. "Yan Mo thought of the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fields, which will mature within these two months.

"Yes, a good potato harvest can be a great encouragement to those orcs who grow sweet potatoes. We planted three mu of potatoes and should be able to harvest 10,000 kilograms of potatoes.

According to our planting situation, 10,000 kilograms of potatoes can be planted on more than 200 mu of land. As long as we plant well, we can have at least 500,000 kilograms of potatoes in the second half of the year. Together with the sweet potato harvest, the tribe should not go hungry in the winter."

Xia Yue made a rough calculation and said.

"But will they plant so many acres? More than 200 acres, that's too much." Zi Luo said

"As long as we harvest a reasonable amount of potatoes, they will, in this place, the biggest problem now is to ensure their survival, especially in winter.

Planting does not require risking one's life, all one needs to do is be diligent, which is very cost-effective for the people in the tribe." Wu Se said.

"So when we collect the goods, should we find people from the tribe to collect them together, and also call the priests and clan leaders?" Xia Yue said.

"Yes, after all, we may need their help in harvesting sweet potatoes. Asking them for help this time can also be considered as giving them some experience. The pheasants we caught before have laid eggs, but we haven't eaten them yet. We can boil the eggs for them.

It's a good opportunity to promote breeding so that they can catch pheasants and raise them themselves, and have a steady supply of chicken and eggs to eat. "Yan Mo said
The four people agreed that the day before harvesting potatoes, Yan Mo went to find the clan leader and the priest and asked them to come and watch them harvest potatoes the next day.

Xia Yue and the others took the boiled eggs and went to find a few of the most diligent and hardworking sub-orcs, asking them to help harvest potatoes tomorrow.

Of course those sub-orcs were happy about it, as it was equivalent to increasing their experience. They had planted sweet potatoes and were worried about how to harvest them.

When they saw the eggs, they didn't like them at first. They were too fishy when eaten raw. Only some unique orcs liked them.

Seeing their disgusted looks, Xia Yue told them that it was cooked and would not have a fishy smell. They took it doubtfully, then peeled one and ate it, and found that it really did not have a fishy smell.

Thinking of the pain of eating raw food when they had nothing to eat in the past, they all felt that they had suffered.

After Xia Yue and the others taught the sub-orcs how to boil eggs, they left.

Early the next morning, after they finished breakfast and went to the field with their tools, they saw that the tribal chief, the priest, and the invited sub-orcs had already arrived, as well as some others who wanted to watch the fun.

"Why are you so slow?" The clan leader looked at them and said with a bit of disdain.
Xia Yue checked the time in the system and it showed that it was not yet half past six. They also wanted to collect everything early before the sun got hot.

Unexpectedly, these orcs were earlier than them.
"Okay, now that you're here, how do we start? You talk and try, we'll watch and help collect." The patriarch didn't give them a chance to explain.

Yan Mo and his friends didn't know how to explain, so they divided the few sub-orcs they had invited into four groups, followed them to the fields and began to demonstrate to them how to harvest potatoes.

They were the first to dig, and under the first plant there were five or six potatoes as big as an adult orc's palm.

"Wow, there really is something, it's quite big." The beastmen nearby were surprised when they saw the potatoes dug out. Yan Mo and his companions ignored them and continued to teach the sub-beastmen how to harvest them. After digging four or five plants, the sub-beastmen had almost mastered the essentials.

Yan Mo and the others asked them to dig separately.

The clan leader and the priest were also watching from the side. After asking Yan Mo, they also dug up two plants.

Then the chief and the priest inquired about the potato in filling their stomachs.

"According to the situation of this plant, it can feed an adult orc with a normal appetite for two meals without meat. But eating only potatoes is not suitable for you. You still need to eat meat.

According to the calculation that an orc needs ten kilograms of meat for one meal, if potatoes are included, the ten kilograms of meat can be eaten in two meals, or even three meals." Yan Mo explained to them.

The other orcs also heard Yan Mo's explanation and were surprised.
If you calculate it this way, they can eat the same prey for a month, but now with the potatoes, they can eat it for two months or even three months.

When winter comes, they don’t have to worry about going hungry and can eat their fill every day.

"Are you telling the truth?" The priest looked at Yan Mo in surprise and asked to confirm.

"Of course, and with these potatoes, I won't be hungry so easily." Yan Mo nodded.
"Can you exchange the potatoes you harvested this time for our tribe?" asked the patriarch.

“Of course, but the newly harvested potatoes need more than a month to germinate. After we harvest them, we will germinate them first. When we return from the rally, they will be ready for planting.

During this period, you can cultivate more land.

The potatoes I harvested can probably be used to plant an area a hundred times larger than my current area. You can cultivate it according to the actual situation," Yan Mo said.

"So many? How long will it take us to eat them all?" The patriarch looked at him with wide eyes. He couldn't imagine how much there was.

"It should be possible to prevent the tribe from going hungry in winter," Yan Mo said.
"That's enough. I promise to open up more land within this time." The chief immediately made the decision. As long as they could have enough to eat and survive the winter, that would be the best thing for him as the chief.

Afterwards, the chief asked the orcs who were watching the fun to help pick up the potatoes, and reminded them to be careful not to bump or damage them.
Although Yan Mo and the others could not empathize with them, they could more or less understand their emphasis on these potatoes, as they could keep them from going hungry in the winter.

"Potatoes have such an effect, what about sweet potatoes?" the priest asked, thinking of another crop.

"Sweet potatoes are fine too, and they can be made into a kind of potato flour, which is easier to fill your stomach. We will teach you when we harvest the crops." Yan Mo said.

"Okay, okay." The priest got the answer and thought that with these two things, people would no longer starve to death this winter, and maybe they could really survive the next ice age.
There is strength in numbers. In just one day, three acres of potatoes were dug out.

The orcs helped transport the potatoes to Xia Yue and his family's home.
