Chapter 288 Digging a Hole and Planting Potatoes
Yu Qingmei was also a little confused and didn't know why she wanted to plant it here.
Yu Qingqing patiently explained: "Second sister, the land here is so fertile, if we plant potatoes here, they will grow better.
And the most important thing is that I planted these potatoes here today, and after a while we will dig them up and plant them in the newly reclaimed land, so that we can plant both potatoes and sweet potatoes.
So you must keep this a secret. When we dig it up later, we can leave some of it in the soil to let it grow.
We can dig them up directly when they are ripe. They are wild and don’t need to be taxed.”
Yu Qingqing's analysis was very logical and the two of them nodded continuously.
After a short rest, several people started to dig new holes to plant potatoes.
After planting about fifty or sixty potatoes, Yu Qingqing stopped.
Then they went and dug up a large basket of sweet potatoes, filling the entire basket with sweet potato vines.
Yu Qingqing carried another basket of wild vegetables and the few of them started walking back. This time they really had a great harvest.
Yu Qingqing and the others were also very happy as they had gained so much today.
After walking and stopping along the way, we finally arrived.
Currently Yu Qingqing and her family are still living in the rented small courtyard. After the custom-made furniture is moved in tomorrow, they can move into their new home.
At this time, Hua Qinglu was in the courtyard. Seeing Yu Qingqing and others at the gate, he ran over quickly.
Hua Qinglu: "Qing'er, you have harvested so much today. We can eat so many wild vegetables for a long time. What is this big round thing? Why did you bring it back?"
Hua Qinglu's gaze shifted from behind Yu Qingqing to the thing Hua Yuanyuan was holding in her hand.
Hua Qinglu naturally didn't know what sweet potatoes were. It seemed that they had never seen anyone eating this thing. They probably didn't know it was edible, and they didn't know that there was something edible under the vine.
Yu Qingqing put the backpack on the ground, went over to help carry the sweet potatoes, and then turned around to explain: "Mom, this is called sweet potato and it is edible.
We found them on the hillside behind us, and there are still a lot of them. Daddy hasn't come back yet, we need to tell him about this. Come in first, and I'll tell you the details."
After Yu Qingqing put the things away, she pulled Hua Qinglu inside.
When Hua Qinglu heard that this was food, he was extremely happy.
With cheerful steps, he followed Yu Qingqing into the middle room.
Hua Qinglu asked anxiously: "Qing'er, tell me in detail what you just said about the sweet potato.
I see they are all quite big, but with a bit more dirt. Did you guys dig all this from the broken land at the back? How much do you think there are left?"
Hua Qinglu was eager to know what was going on. After all, food was the most important thing right now.
After delivering the goods in the town, Yu Qinghai would go to set up his stall again and would usually not be back until the afternoon.
Yu Qingshu is not at home now, so Yu Qingqing has no choice but to tell her mother first.
Yu Qingqing briefly talked about the discovery of sweet potatoes and explained to Hua Qinglu several ways of eating sweet potatoes.
Hua Qinglu felt even happier when he heard what his daughter said, and at the same time he was proud of his daughter.
Yu Qingqing even took out a round sweet potato, washed it, peeled it, and cut it open for Hua Qinglu to taste.
Hua Qinglu also took a tentative bite, "Wow! It's really sweet! Qing'er, you really found a treasure. This is really great, we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore.
It’s great to have so many things to eat. And this one has a crispy and sweet texture, so it’s good for both the elderly and children.”
Hua Qinglu ate while spouting nice words for free.
Dou Lan'e, who was standing by, was smiling so hard that the wrinkles on her face became deeper and shallower. She was really happy. She thought her granddaughter was truly a capable person.
The family spent the day in laughter and joy, and soon those who had gone to open up the land and dig cellars came back one after another.
Yu Qingqing hid the things in advance and made a decision after talking to the village chief.
After all, when these things are discovered, some people believe them, while others may not. If you force others to eat them, if something goes wrong, you will have to look for the original person.
Although Yu Qingqing is kind-hearted, she cannot blindly waste her kindness.
Yu Qingshu and Hua Manhong walked in from outside, covered in mud and dust. When Hua Qinglu saw them, he quickly went to the kitchen to get them hot water for a simple wash.
Hua Qinglu handed a hot towel to his father, and then asked distressedly: "Dad, is it warm in the cellar you guys dug?
It's quite hot outside now. If you feel unwell, please be sure to tell your daughter.
If it doesn't work, we can help you. Don't exhaust yourself just by digging the cellar."
Hua Manhong felt very comforted after hearing her daughter's words. Her daughter was really thoughtful.
He waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Xiaolu. Qingshu is the one who rushes to do the heavy work, so Daddy is not tired.
I’m just afraid that I can’t help you too much, so I want to take advantage of my old age to do more work. Haha!”
After Hua Manhong finished speaking, he laughed heartily again, which livened up the somewhat dull atmosphere.
Yu Qingshu wiped his face again, looked at his wife tenderly and said softly: "My wife, don't worry! I will take care of my father-in-law, there will be no problem. Let's go eat quickly, and we can rest for a while after eating."
Yu Qingshu poured the pitch-black water directly into the stinking ditch.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Hua Qinglu responded and ran to the kitchen to serve the meal.
What I made for lunch today was radish and bone soup, corn buns, cold wild vegetables, fried prawns and brown rice porridge.
The people outside the yard each picked up a bowl of rice and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
With so many people, they need a lot of food.
However, everyone worked very hard. In the past few days alone, they have helped Yu Qingshu and others open up about 15 acres of land. At this rate, they will be able to open up a lot of land soon.
Recently, the Yu family has been recruiting people on a large scale to open up new land. Those who are hired are very happy because they can make money, while those who are not hired feel very upset.
Take just now for example, when Yu Qingshu just came back, he was stopped by someone and asked to invite that person to go to open up wasteland together. Yu Qingshu refused verbally and said that there were enough people. In the end, that person left cursing.
Yu Qingqing and her family ate inside, and the food was similar to what they ate outside.
"What? This is really edible and highly productive?"
