"It's like this, Grandpa Pan and Grandma Pan, I found some fresh crops today." Xu Yuan pulled out the backpack at his feet, pushed aside the weeds and took out four or five sweet potatoes.

"This is?"

Looking at the pink skin, pointed at both ends and fat in the middle, it is not very big. Pan Dahai just brought out a few bowls of water on a plate.

Placed in front of the table for several people.

"This is a sweet potato, also called sweet potato. It won't grow very big in the wild, so we need to cultivate it. Once it is well cared for, it can produce a lot of sweet potatoes."

Grandpa Pan took the sweet potato handed to him by Xuyuan, looked at it left and right, and was very curious.

"Okay, there's plenty of wasteland here anyway, so we can plant whatever we want. But how do we plant this? We just bury it in the ground like this."

"Ah, these sweet potatoes are not enough. Even five of them can't fill up a piece of land." Grandma Pan discovered the problem and raised it.

Xu Yuan shook his head, picked up the bowl of water on the table and took a sip, "Of course not, this can be cut into pieces and planted. I didn't find a lot this time, so I can only plant a small amount first, and when it grows out, I will leave some for the next planting."

Xuyuan plans to give some to people he knows and let them try to grow some first. If there are more sweet potatoes, he will let the villagers grow them on a large scale.

In order not to arouse suspicion from the villagers, Xuyuan asked them to keep it secret for the time being. Xuyuan had thought about growing all the crops by himself, but his energy was limited.

The wish didn't say much about how to plant sweet potatoes, it just said how to process them. Anyway, just like growing vegetables, the principles are the same. Most ancient people were good at farming. As for why the yield was not high, the key has a lot to do with fertilizers and fields.

Grandpa Pan has been farming for half a year, but this is the first time he has seen such a novel planting technique. He has never seen this thing called sweet potato before.

I can only say that the location of Hsinchu Village is really good. The deep mountains and dangerous place mentioned by others turned out to be a treasure trove. The girl who made the wish is also very knowledgeable and knows everything.

After Xu Yuan finished explaining his affairs, he planned to leave. After all, he just came here on the way.

"Why don't you stay for lunch before leaving?" Grandma Pan saw that it was almost time for lunch.

"Do you want some sprouts? Take some back to eat. There are still some green vegetables in the garden, pick some and take them back." Grandma Pan remembered something and hurried into the kitchen, opened the cupboard, took out a small bamboo basket, left one egg, wiped the remaining four eggs and put them in the basket, then walked out.

"Girl Yuan, here are some eggs. Take them back and give them to Xiaozhi, Guozi, and Xiaoduo to try."

"No need, Grandma Pan, you can keep it for yourself. I still have some things to do at home, so I'll go back first."

Grandma Pan knew that Xuyuan would not be accepted, so she put it directly into the arms of the still sitting Xuande.

"Xiaoduo, take these eggs that grandma gave you. Take them back and try them." After saying that, she patted the little heads of Xiaoduo who didn't react, and also touched the head of Guozi who was sitting next to her.

"Grandma Pan, this..."

"Take it. This is a gift from your grandma Pan." Grandpa Pan spoke at the right time. It was really hard for Xuyuan to refuse anything given by his elders. Now that he had said this, he just accepted it.

"Thank you, Grandma Pan, for the eggs."

Manyu was also very happy when he looked at the heavy eggs in his arms. He smiled sweetly at Grandma Pan and said thank you.

When Xu Yuan was walking out with his three siblings, he suddenly saw a pile of black charcoal in the yard. He stopped and asked Pan Dahai who was standing beside him.

"Sister Xuyuan, this was made by grandpa. After all, the nights here are very cold. Grandma is afraid of the cold, so she has to get up from time to time to add firewood when burning firewood. So grandpa made some charcoal when he was free."

Pan Dahai's bed is also an earthen kang. The village chief brought Grandpa Liu and Grandpa Wang to make it for each household. Basically, everyone in the village has this kind of earthen kang. During the first few days I came here, I was woken up by the cold every night. The quilts at home were not very thick. In previous years, we had to pile straw on our bodies during the winter. Firewood and charcoal in winter were sources of income, so even if the house was very cold, the firewood would not be burned all day.

She could only bear it, and that's how grandma got cold. When she first came here, Pan Dahai was happy to see the fruits and bamboos all over the mountain and the fish jumping in the river.

After all, there are a lot of edible things in the mountains, not to mention that it is deep in the mountains. Few people often enter the deep mountains, so there are many things that have not been discovered. The scenery here is still so beautiful. Pan Dahai feels that living here, he will never let his grandfather and grandmother go hungry.

I just didn't expect that the temperature difference here is so big. Fortunately, this is deep in the mountains, and the thing we have the most is firewood.

However, the appearance of this earthen kang just solved Pan Dahai's worries. He no longer had to worry about being frozen in the middle of the night, and his grandparents could also have a warm sleep.

The village chief said that it was Sister Xuyuan's idea, so from then on, the person Pan Dahai admired most became Xuyuan.

I made a wish and never expected that the problem I was troubled by would be solved so quickly. It’s great.

"Ah Hai, how much charcoal do you have at home? I want to buy some."

"Hey, girl, these are not the same stuff as before. Just take as many as you want. I'll make some if you don't have any."

Grandpa Pan came out of the house and when he heard Xu Yuan asking for charcoal, he spoke quickly.

"Xiao Jiang, get a bigger backpack and go out to load the things." Grandma Pan called Pan Xiaojiang to help.

Xu Yuan learned his lesson this time and did not dare to mention the money. He saw that Uncle Pan had filled the backpack to the brim and was not stopping yet, but was still filling it up.

"That's enough, Grandpa Pan, this is too much."

Xu Yuan hurriedly stopped him. Although everyone in the village knew that he was very strong, there was no need to stuff it so full.

Before leaving, Xu Yuan, carrying a full basket of charcoal, secretly threw the bag filled with fifty copper coins into the basket that Xiao Jiang was going to use to carry charcoal for the second time.

The quality of these charcoals is not very good. Any poor family with firewood can make them, so they are not very expensive on the market. After all, rich people do not look down on these inferior charcoals.

"Wish girl, take care. Come back and get more charcoal next time when it's used up." Grandpa Pan and Grandma Pan, as well as Pan Dahai and Pan Xiaojiang, stood at the door and watched the four Xuyuan siblings see off and gradually go away.

Now the only thing left to deal with is the barbecue truck. By the way, I can go to Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu, and also ask Aunt Li and Mrs. Lin to try growing sweet potatoes.

Village Chief Gu's family should also give a little. Although they are the richest family in the whole village, they also sponsor school-age boys from poor families to go to school, and provide enlightenment for school-age children in the village. This is a great kind person.
