Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Chili peppers are the kind that can grow again after being picked, so after they picked the first batch and took it home to make a lot of chopped, pickled and dried peppers, they did not turn the soil over to plant other ones, and let the peppers continue to grow.

After the peppers, the sweet potatoes also matured, but there was only one row of sweet potatoes. Originally, they didn't plan to mobilize a large number of people, but this was a rare commodity. When they heard that they were going to dig sweet potatoes, Aunt Qi and Aunt Zhang came early to watch the fun.

Yan Yiyi waved the hoe and gently dug up the sweet potato vines: "Aye, gather the sweet potato vines. After digging up the sweet potatoes, turn the land over again and plant another batch."

"Planting another crop of sweet potatoes?!" Aunt Qi was shocked.

"Are sweet potatoes grown using these vines?" Aunt Zhang Wu looked puzzled.

"Well, as long as it's not cold, you can plant sweet potatoes. I did plant these sweet potatoes with vines. In addition to using vine seeds, you can also save sweet potatoes for seeds and plant them again in the spring."

Xin Ye gathered the sweet potato vines aside and would tie them up and take them home when the time came.

Yan Yiyi waved the hoe and began to dig sweet potatoes. After one dig and a strong effort, a bunch of sweet potatoes of different sizes emerged from the ground. She continued to dig a few more times and finally dug out all the sweet potatoes intact.

“Is this sweet potato!?” It was the first time Aunt Qi and Aunt Zhang saw sweet potato. It looked like a radish, long and thin, but the skin was red, and they grew in bunches, while radishes grew individually.

A bunch of sweet potatoes are big and small, and some of the big ones are about the size of radishes.

Aunt Qi suddenly had an idea and pointed at the sweet potatoes and asked, "Aye, wife, is this bunch of sweet potatoes grown from the same vine?" As she spoke, she pointed to the sweet potato vine over there.

She is indeed a good farmer. She immediately noticed the abnormality of the sweet potato. Yan Yiyi looked at Aunt Qi with appreciation, her lips curled up slightly, and gestured with her hands: "To be exact, it was grown with a sweet potato vine this long."

Hiss—Aunt Qi’s pupils trembled and disbelief was written on her face.

Aunt Zhang Wu realized it later and said, "You mean, a sweet potato vine can grow such a bunch of sweet potatoes!?"

Father Li was equally shocked, staring at the sweet potato with burning eyes, as if he had discovered some great treasure.

Although Xin Ye was mentally prepared, the facts before him were beyond his imagination. The yield of sweet potatoes was too high. Once the news spread, he couldn't imagine what consequences it would bring to the Zhao Kingdom.

"Yes." Yan Yiyi answered and continued to swing the hoe to dig sweet potatoes. After a while, she dug out a row of sweet potatoes. Several other people helped to sort the sweet potatoes and put them into bamboo baskets. There were four full bamboo baskets, which weighed almost four hundred kilograms in total.

This is just the harvest from a small field.

One acre of land can be divided into five ridges. If one acre of land is fully planted, wouldn’t it be possible to produce thousands or even two thousand kilograms of crops? ?

This is food!

There were too few sweet potato seeds, so they did not intend to let other villagers know, including Uncle Gu and his family. Only Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, Aunt Qi, and Da Hu knew about it, and they tasted sweet potatoes for the first time in their lives.

It's very fragrant, a little sweet, a little sticky, soft and chewy, and not tiring to chew. The most important thing is, you'll feel full after eating one.

You can be full by eating four or five sticks in one meal!

They are all farmers, and they can't help but envy such high-yield seeds. However, these are the seeds found by A Ye's wife, and they are already getting a good deal by being able to try them out and broaden their horizons.

Looking at the vines they brought back, they were not enough seeds for one acre of land, so they were even more embarrassed to ask for the purchase of seedlings.

"Aye, wife, what should we do with this vine? Let us help." Aunt Qi said. They couldn't just eat sweet potatoes and do nothing.

Yan Yiyi looked at Xin Ye and said, "Aye, go teach the two aunts. I'm going to the toilet first."

"Okay." Xin Ye agreed, took out a small stool and sat in front of the sweet potato vines. He went back to the room and got out a pair of scissors. He carefully told them how to cut the sweet potato vines. Uncle Zhang and Father Li came over to watch.

In my entire life, this is the first time I have seen food grown not from seeds but from vines. It is really rare.

Yan Yiyi used the excuse of going to the toilet to enter the system and contact Ni Ni.

She could see that Aunt Qi and Aunt Zhang both wanted to grow sweet potatoes. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a high-yield crop in this world?

Moreover, she understood the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. They could not monopolize the sweet potato business. Moreover, she planned to report it to the county magistrate, but not now. She would inform him when the second crop of sweet potatoes was harvested.

At least, she needs to plant more sweet potatoes. More quantity will be more obvious and substantial. Otherwise, how can she rely on those few baskets?

At this time, Ni Ni was just lying on the bed and about to take a nap. When she received a call from Yan Yiyi, she immediately logged into the system: "Yan, what's the matter?"

"Ni Ni, do you still have sweet potato vines over there?"

Ni Ni scratched his head: "It's in the ground. There are not many plants growing out yet. It's hard to pull them out!"

Yan Yiyi sighed in disappointment, and Ni Ni suddenly had an idea: "How about I ask my friend in another dimension for you?"

Yan Yiyi nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."

Yes, she can ask Lu Youyou, maybe she has it?

Ni Ni had already hung up the call, and Yan Yiyi immediately contacted Lu Youyou. Lu Youyou answered the call almost immediately, still wearing pajamas, living up to her identity as a stay-at-home girl.

"Word?"

"Yo Yo, I need a batch of sweet potato vines. Can you help me find them?" Yan Yiyi went straight to the point.

"I'll ask and contact you later."

"Okay, thank you."

Lu Youyou was more efficient than Ni Ni's friend and gave an answer ten minutes later: "Now is the season for digging sweet potatoes. There are villagers growing them in the countryside. How many do you want?"

"One truck, a small truck. As many sweet potatoes and the same amount of sweet potato vines as can fit in one truck."

“Do sweet potatoes have to be attached to the vine?”

"No, but you must bring soil."

Lu Youyou was a little curious, so she tilted her head, blinked her clear peach blossom eyes, looked at Yan Yiyi and asked, "Yan, what are you going to do?"

Yan Yiyi smiled and did not hide anything: "We have come to ancient times. There is a food shortage here. There are no sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops. Rice and flour are expensive. If there is a famine or war, there is food at home."

"Then you can just buy rice and flour from us. You won't starve to death."

Yan Yiyi smiled and said, "But I can't let the system be exposed. What if someone finds out and thinks I'm a monster and catches me and burns me to death?"

Emm...that seems to make sense.

"Then you want potato and corn seeds?"

"Not for now. Taking out too many at once will draw attention. I can pretend that I dug the sweet potatoes from the mountain and fool people."

This is true.

"Okay, wait, I'll help you get it done and give it to you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you."
