After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

The wolves had eaten and drunk their fill and retreated. The forest gradually returned to silence, and the insects began to chirp again.

……

It has been more than a month since the tiger came out of the mountain

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines through the mist onto the quiet fields. The sound of the gurgling stream is crisp and pleasant, and Anning Village is quietly filled with a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me. The birds are saying good morning, good morning..."

"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me. The birds are saying good morning, good morning..."

On the narrow ridge of the field, Xu Qingqing was skipping and hopping in front, wearing her own little straw hat with a bow.

Datou, Liu Wenshan and several other kids followed behind her, imitating her and singing along. Their voices were pure and clear, like the morning dew, and their bodies swayed to the rhythm.

The innocent and free mood deeply infected the people following behind.

Xu Song, Xu Ling, and the old Yan father and son, wore wide-brimmed straw hats, light clothes for farm work, and held hoes and baskets in their hands.

Looking at the group of happy little kids in front of him, a smile also appeared on his face.

The group came to Xu Qingqing's experimental field.

They stood by the field, looking at this land full of hope. If nothing unexpected happened, today would be a day of great harvest as Qingqing said.

In the experimental field, a large patch of lush green leaves spread out, and the leaves are upright and strong. One can tell at a glance that the plants in the soil must be growing very well.

Xu Qingqing lowered her head to observe the potato plants. Seeing that they were growing well, she squatted down and gently used her hands to loosen the soil.

It didn't take long before a large, plump potato appeared in front of her. Xu Qingqing carefully swept away the dirt and lifted it up with force.

A bunch of plump and strong potatoes with a little dirt on them appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow~ so many and so big!"

"Sister Qingqing, is this a potato?"

The children were shocked when they saw the huge pile of potatoes.

"Dang, dang, dang! Look! These are the potatoes I was talking about!" Xu Qingqing was carrying a large bunch of potatoes. Due to her short stature, the potato yield looked even more amazing.

Seeing that his sister was having a hard time carrying the potatoes, Xu Song took the bunch of potatoes from Xu Qingqing's hand and looked at them with shining eyes. He was a little curious: "Qingqing, are these the potatoes we planted? Are they really edible?"

"Of course, and it tastes very good. It can be boiled, fried, stewed or roasted, each has its own flavor!" Xu Qingqing said, thinking of the fried potatoes, French fries, braised pork and potatoes she had eaten in her previous life... She couldn't help but drooling, thinking that she must enjoy these potatoes later.

Hearing Xu Qingqing's words, Xu Ling's first thought was whether the mass production she had mentioned before was true. Thinking of this, he also asked: "Qingqing, you said before that one acre of land can produce 3000-5000 kilograms, is that true?"

Xu Qingqing didn't answer immediately after hearing this. Instead, she pointed at the remaining potatoes in the field and said, "Then Dad, let's see it with our own eyes!"

"Row!"

"Add me one!"

"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!!"

Everyone was attracted by this "big cake" and actively joined in digging potatoes.

When they touched these plump potatoes, they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise or satisfaction on their faces.

Although the potatoes in front of them grew in the mud, once the mud was wiped off, they would find that the surface of the potatoes was smooth and delicate. If they hadn't dug them with their own hands, they wouldn't have believed that they actually grew out of the soil.

Inspired by the large bunch of potatoes in their hands, several people worked even harder and kept digging as if they knew no fatigue.

Even a few children were digging with their butts sticking out, and the hardest working ones were Datou, Liu Wenshan, and Fang Lian. They didn't stop even when they were covered in dirt.

After experiencing those dark days when they almost starved to death, these three children developed an extraordinary passion for food.

Looking at the potatoes in the soil now is no less than a money-loving person seeing a field of gold.

As the sun rose, the temperature gradually climbed. Xu Qingqing and her group's clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to their bodies.

After an unknown amount of time, the few people finally dug up all the potatoes in the one-acre field. They put their hands on their waists, and their waists made a "crackling" sound when they swayed.

But they didn't notice it at all. Instead, they looked at the potatoes on the ground with excitement.

As Xu Ling watched, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

His tone was mixed with joy and a hint of sobs: "It's true, it's all true... the yield of 3000-5000 kilograms per acre... it's actually... true!" He covered his sparkling eyes with the soil in his hands.

Xu Qingqing and her brother hurried forward to comfort them.

"It's okay, I'm just too happy. If this potato can be popularized, people will be able to have enough to eat..." Xu Ling's eyes were red.

Xu Qingqing was infected by the happy and excited atmosphere of the crowd. At this moment, she felt like she had planted an anchor in this world with her own hands. For the first time, she felt so clearly the meaning of her coming to this world.

Maybe the reason she came here is to change everything now!

She looked at the potatoes in the field with a determined look in her eyes: "Dad, don't worry, this is just the beginning. I will make sure that all the people in the world have enough food and clothing!"

Old Yan and his companions were also extremely surprised. They were happy, not only for themselves, but also for the common people all over the world!

The common people often faced the dilemma of working hard on the farm for a year and then having to go hungry after paying taxes.

Due to food shortage and difficult times, many people worked hard but finally starved to death!

Looking at the potatoes on the ground, they are not just ordinary potatoes. They are the people's hope, their life! They carry the livelihood and hope of the people all over the world!

Looking at everyone's expressions, Xu Qingqing understood how they felt.

He quickly changed the subject: "Dad, Uncle Yan, let's cook potatoes tonight!"

After hearing this, everyone quickly calmed down, loaded their baskets with potatoes, and headed home. While the little kids weren't paying attention, Xu Qingqing took the remaining potatoes and put them into the space with a wave of her hand.

A few little kids happily rushed forward carrying potatoes.

"What is this?" Shen Nanshu picked up a potato, looked at it from left to right, but couldn't figure out what it was, so he looked at Xu Song and asked in a puzzled voice.

Xu Song, relying on what he had heard from his sister about potatoes, raised a smug smile, picked up a potato and introduced it seriously: "Mom, this is a treasure! It's called a potato. Don't be fooled by its inconspicuous appearance. It's not only edible, but also has a high yield. One acre of land can produce 3000 to 5000 kilograms. Isn't it amazing!"

"So many?! Okay... okay..." Shen Nanshu couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this.

Xu Qingqing pulled the stunned Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, let's eat potatoes later! I want to eat potatoes stewed with meat!"

"Okay, okay, let's have stewed potatoes with meat for lunch!" He took the potatoes, got up and went into the kitchen to start preparing to light a fire and cook.

Xu Qingqing followed Aunt Li all the way, muttering to herself how to make the potato stew: "Cut the pork into pieces of appropriate size, rinse with clean water, drain and set aside. Heat the pan with cold oil, and put the ginger slices and scallions into the pan..."

Listening to Xu Qingqing's on-the-spot teaching, Aunt Li quickly put all the ingredients into the pot in order.

A rich aroma soon emanated from the pot. Xu Song was talking to everyone and couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the fragrance.

It smells so good!

Even the usually calm Xu Ling and Xu Yun couldn't help salivating, and Shen Nanshu was a little absent-minded.

Even the adults were like this, not to mention the children. Liu Wenshan and Datou were so greedy that they licked their lips and stood at the kitchen door with their own small stools.
