Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

The next morning, I got up early and made more than ten pancakes to take to the village for lunch. The journey was too long, and the food we had before was no longer available. It was impossible to make them there.

After breakfast, we went to the coachman's shop and rented two ox carts for 30 cents each, ready to carry the sweet potatoes back to town.

Arriving in the village, I went to the clan leader's house first and told Xiu'e that I wanted to find ten people to dig sweet potatoes, both men and women were welcome. The fee was 15 wen a day, and food and accommodation were not provided.

Xiuer was very happy to earn money right at her doorstep. In just a few minutes, she called ten people, including the daughter-in-law of Granny Wang and the eldest daughter-in-law of the head of the village. They were all good at doing things.

Five people first used knives to cut off all the vines and piled them aside, and the remaining five began to dig. Xiu Wen Xiaobao and I were responsible for picking out the rotten ones. If they were put together, they would cause rot.

The fertilizer was sufficient, and the most sweet potatoes dug out weighed nearly 10 kilograms. This shocked Xiu'er and the others, as they had never expected this plant to be so productive.

Xiuer asked me embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law Dalang, what is this you planted? Can it be eaten?"

The land we bought is so far from the village. It was previously a wasteland. Occasionally one or two people in the village would see this piece of land and wonder what we were planting. When someone asked us about it, we just answered vaguely.

Now after Xiu'er and the others saw us digging it out, they were particularly surprised.

Me: "Xiu'er, this is sweet potato, you can eat it, and you can make many kinds of delicious things with it."

Xiu'er: "Where did you get this plant, sister-in-law? Can we plant it with you next year? You know there are many people in our family, and sometimes we don't have enough to eat. If we can plant some of this, this sweet potato you mentioned, maybe we won't have to starve."

Me: "Sure, as long as you are willing to plant, I can teach you, it's very simple."

"That's great. Don't worry, we will plant some for you next year, sister-in-law. We will give you the rice to choose from when the time comes. Is that okay with you? If not, we will buy it with silver. In short, you will not suffer any loss, sister-in-law." Xiu'er looked at me seriously and said.

Me: "Sure, if you want to plant them, I will save some seeds and teach you how to plant them next year."

When the women nearby heard this, they all came over and said, "Da Lang's wife, you can't be partial to one and sell us some seeds when the time comes. We will plant them together. We are all from the same village and our living conditions are similar. We don't have enough food at home. We are lucky to be able to survive this winter. We don't know what to do after the New Year. If we can plant some of these, it will probably be much better.

"Okay, I'll sell you some seeds when the time comes, and you can exchange them with things from your home." I agreed to everything with a smile.

Anyway, if you want to open a spicy and sour vermicelli restaurant, someone has to grow the ingredients. Then you can make more vermicelli and sell them, which is also a way to make money.

After getting my accurate answer, which would allow them to plant sweet potatoes next year, the ten people worked harder and harder. By noon, they had already dug up half of the sweet potatoes. Two ox carts could not hold all the sweet potatoes, so Dabao sent two carts back first and then came back for the second delivery.

When the people digging sweet potatoes went back to have lunch, they came back with the clan leader and the village head.

Without saying anything, he went straight to the place where the sweet potatoes were stored. Seeing the piles of sweet potatoes on the ground, the clan leader grandfather was so excited that he trembled all over. The village head turned his head suddenly and said, "Wife Dalang, are these really edible? According to this, the yield per mu should reach more than 1000 kilograms, right?"

More than 1000 kilograms, that was at that time. If it were in modern times, it would be more than 2000 kilograms or even more than 3000 kilograms!

I nodded affirmatively: "More than 1000 kilograms for sure. I am sure this is edible and it tastes good."

The clan leader said: "Daughter-in-law Dalang, I heard from them that you promised to sell seeds to the villagers. Next year, everyone in our village can plant them together, right?"

"Yes, as long as the villagers are willing to grow it, they can grow it! In short, they can come to me to exchange it or buy it with silver at any time."

Village head: "That's great. Next year, no one in our village should be hungry. After a long time, won't our village become a well-known wealthy village nearby?"

Only then did I realize that the things I planted, which are now common and ubiquitous, were probably not popular in this dynasty and no one knew about them.

Village head: "Da Lang's wife, how do you know these things are edible? How do you know how to get them to eat?"

Me: "Uncle Lizheng, didn't I fall and hurt my head before? Since then, I seem to remember some things in my mind, maybe they are my memories from the past! You also know that I don't know where my mother's home is. This may be related to my past life!"

Anyway, the original body didn't know where her mother's home was. She only knew it was very far away, so these excuses made sense.

The village head and the clan leader also knew that the original body was brought back by Dalang from outside, but where was her mother's home? No one really knew. I believed it after I said that.

When Xiuwen came again, he rented a few more cars. He loaded all the remaining underground materials onto the cars, and only then was he able to take away all the materials he had dug out today. Xiaobao and I also sat in the front of the car and followed the car back to town.

Seeing the house full of sweet potatoes, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. There has never been such a good harvest in modern times.
