Here, Grandpa Lin’s cold noodles are selling like hot cakes.

On the other side, Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi took the little kid out of the city.

The potatoes are ready to be harvested, and we are digging them today.

When we arrived outside the county town, the refugees were picking vegetables in the fields.

The vegetable planting area is very large. In addition to supplying vegetables to the restaurant and barbecue restaurant at home, the remaining vegetables are transported to the county town to be sold.

The people of Beiyang don’t have many fresh vegetables to eat, and these vegetables are delicious. After eating them, they feel refreshed the whole day, so these vegetables are not enough to sell every day.

"Zhu Zi, have you almost picked the beans? Let's take them to the city."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhuzi and his friends picked some beans and peppers and left the field carrying their baskets.

As I walked forward, I saw a carriage coming from the end of the road.

"Isn't that the boss's carriage? Why are they here in the fields? Are they here to pick vegetables to eat?"

"No way, we have to go to the county town every day to deliver vegetables. If they want to eat vegetables, we can just deliver them directly. Why do we need to go there in person?"

Several people were a little confused.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of them.

Chu Changfeng jumped off the carriage, "Have you picked the vegetables today? Are you going into the city now?"

Although so much time had passed and sometimes he almost forgot about stealing things, Zhuzi didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Yes, boss."

Chu Changfeng nodded, "Then go ahead, we have to prepare to harvest potatoes today."

When several people heard this, their eyes widened.

Potato?

Is it finally time to harvest potatoes?

Every day they looked forward to harvesting potatoes. Potatoes grew underground and could not be seen, so they were really curious.

"Boss, let's start after we come back. We'll be quick."

Chu Changfeng chuckled, "Okay."

Zhuzi and his colleagues hurriedly delivered today's vegetables to restaurants and barbecue restaurants. The leftover vegetables from the restaurants and barbecue restaurants would be put in front of the store for sale.

So they can go back after delivering the food.

They finished picking the vegetables early in the morning, but they got up very early, so it was still early morning now.

The sun had just risen.

It's not too hot at this time, just right for digging potatoes.

Zhuzi and the other man hurried back to the field, and all the refugees gathered together by the field.

After Zhuzi and the others returned to the team, Chu Changfeng announced, "The potatoes are ripe. We will start digging potatoes from today. Because the weather is hot, digging potatoes is very hard, so during this period, everyone's daily wages will be increased by 100 coins."

His words were like a bomb dropped into calm water.

The water splashed everywhere.

"One hundred wen?!"

"Is this true? How hard is it to dig potatoes? Why is it worth an extra 100 coins?"

Everyone swallowed hard, not quite believing it.

Each of their current wages is 800 wen per month. If they dig potatoes for five days, wouldn't that mean they can get an extra 500 wen per month?

That’s more than one or two!

Be nice!

Shen Zhi smiled and said, "It's summer now, the weather is hot, digging potatoes is hard work, it's only right to pay a little more, don't be surprised."

"Thank you, boss!"

“The boss is so nice!”

Everyone was saying thank you at the same time, with happy faces.

Life is so good nowadays. We don’t have to worry about food and drink. During the busy farming season, we can even earn some money!

However, some elderly people did not have smiles on their faces.

I don't know what these potatoes look like.

The potato leaves grew well at first, but they had been growing vegetables and grains all their lives, and sometimes the food they planted just grew leaves but no fruits.

This is the most infuriating.

I just wonder if this is the same with potatoes?

In the end, they didn't say anything. They started digging anyway. Once the soil was broken, it was clear whether the potatoes were growing well or not.

While the weather was still cool in the morning, Chu Changfeng led everyone into the potato field.

Shen Zhi stood by the field holding little Tuanzi and watching.

Chu Changfeng took the hoe and started digging first. "Watch how I dig. Although it is simple, it is easy to damage the potatoes if you have no experience at the beginning."

There is a technique for digging potatoes. You have to dig in diagonally from both sides of the mound.

Everyone nodded hurriedly and stared at his hoe.

Chu Changfeng dug a few more hoes, and potatoes, at least the size of a man's palm, rolled out one after another.

Chu Changfeng dug several holes, and the places he dug were covered with huge potatoes.

As he was digging, Chu Changfeng suddenly felt that the noisy sound just now seemed to stop at a certain moment.

It was so quiet that the only sound in my ears was the wind.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked around, and saw that the people who were studying around him were all stunned, staring at the potatoes in the field, as if they were fixed in place, motionless.

Chu Changfeng smiled. They were probably also shocked by the high yield of potatoes.

Finally, an old man was the first to react. He pointed at the potatoes in the field with a trembling hand and spoke stutteringly, "Old...old man...are you dazzled? How...how come the potatoes in the field...are so big and so many?"

Others woke up as well.

There were sudden exclamations in the fields.

"Boss?! What the hell is going on? We only planted a small potato! How come so many have grown?"

"The key is that it's so big!"

They thought that such a small piece of potato would at most grow into one potato.

Who would have thought it would be so terrifying?

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How can there be such a high yield of grain in this world?"

It’s not like they haven’t eaten potatoes before. Potatoes are delicious whether roasted or boiled, and can be used as food.

But they never knew that the yield of this kind of grain could be so outrageously high.

If they were to open up wasteland and plant an acre of land, then...

I can’t even think about it!

Chu Changfeng smiled cheerfully, "The potato yield is just that high, don't be surprised."

He said so, but who can remain calm?

Everyone's heart was shaking violently.

Every year, there is almost always famine due to various floods and droughts. Even if there are no disasters, so many taxes have to be paid every year that it is difficult to barely have enough to eat throughout the year.

But if we grow potatoes, then wouldn’t everyone in the world no longer have to worry about going hungry?

Everyone stared at Chu Changfeng with eyes that were almost spitting out burning flames.

Chu Changfeng shook his head helplessly, "You guys take another look, and then you can start digging."

He demonstrated how to dig a section, and when he thought everyone had watched enough, he asked them to dig a section each.

Everyone was excited and full of energy.

With a hoe, a few big potatoes come out. This feeling of satisfaction is even happier than picking up money!
