We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

Zhao Xiangxiu's reaction was expected. Cheng Yue smiled and handed the bowl over. "Here are rice, vegetables and snacks. I'll give you some raw potatoes later. You can go back and steam or fry them. There are many ways to cook them!"

If you think it tastes good, you can grow some yourself. I have seeds here, you can just come and get them."

Anyone who has eaten potatoes will find it hard not to love them.

Zhao Xiangxiu looked at the golden vegetables in the bowl, her nose filled with fragrance, she was so excited. Who wouldn’t want seeds of such good food?

But she didn't expect Cheng Yue to give it to her for free, so she waved her hand and said, "No way! How can I ask for it for free?

I've never heard of this potato, and we don't grow it here. It must have cost a lot of money to buy the seeds!

We will buy it at the original price, whatever it is, if it doesn't work, we can buy a little less and try it out first!"

They are no longer the poorest household in Houshui Village. She and Cuicui receive wages, and Zhuzi also goes out to collect medicinal herbs. Their income is already considered high in the village.

If potatoes are too expensive, she will just buy a little and not plant too much.

Zhao Xiangxiu was firm in her attitude, and Cheng Yue didn't know what to say. She didn't spend any money on her potatoes, they were almost free, so how could she accept money from Zhao Xiangxiu?

But Zhao Xiangxiu is a very honest person, and it is obviously unreasonable to say that she will give it for free. Cheng Yue thought about it and said, "Sister-in-law Xiangxiu, how about this!

I plan to plant more potatoes next time. We have a small family and not enough labor, so I'll ask Zhuzi to help. I won't pay him, how about just giving him potato seeds?"

She also wanted to let everyone in the village grow potatoes. She guessed that their situation was similar to Zhao Xiangxiu's. It would not be appropriate to charge money, so she decided to just work instead of growing potatoes!

Zhao Xiangxiu's eyes lit up after hearing this, "That's great! Let's do it! Just call Zhuzi over whenever you want!"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when the seeds are planted. It's still early, so go home and eat first!"

He really trusts her and never asks her when to plant. Although Zhao Xiangxiu's family doesn't have much land, there is only Zhuzi as a laborer now. Zhao Xiangxiu doesn't even think about whether Zhuzi can handle the work.

But fortunately, she had a plan in mind. Potatoes can be planted twice a year, and the next planting will be around August, which is just before the corn harvest time, so there is no conflict.

"Okay, okay! Then let's go back first!"

Zhao Xiangxiu looked happy, and after she finished speaking, she went down the mountain with Cuicui.

As soon as everyone left, Cheng Yue and the others started to eat lunch.

After dinner, Cheng Yue said to Chen An, "I'll go look for the village head uncle later. The last time I planted potatoes, the village head uncle came to see me.

Now that the potatoes are ripe, I'll give them some to try and then talk about growing potatoes.

Go and teach the children about carpentry first, and when I come back we'll go dig potatoes together."

Chen An nodded, "Okay!"

I went out in the morning and have to dig potatoes in the afternoon. This is a good opportunity to talk to the children during the lunch break.

When Chen Tong and Chen Ning heard the two people saying they were going to dig potatoes, they immediately expressed their desire to go with them and put the matter of collecting medicinal herbs on hold.

Anyway, all the ripe wolfberries have been picked in the morning and they won’t grow again in the afternoon, so there is no need to worry about delaying the harvest of other medicinal herbs.

Cheng Yue knew that her two daughters found it interesting, so they went together.

After saying that, Chen Tong and Chen Ning cleaned up the dishes, and Cheng Yue went down the mountain alone to the headman's house.

She was afraid that she would be late and everyone would have already gone up the mountain.

The headman and his family had just finished lunch. Now that conditions are better, they naturally have to eat three meals. After all, they have to collect medicinal herbs all day long. Going up the mountain is not an easy task. You can't work if you are not full!

Qian Yulan was turning over the herbs drying on the courtyard wall. When she looked up, she saw Cheng Yue coming with something in her hand. She hurried out to stop him:

"Sister Cheng Yue, why are you bringing things here again? We just finished eating, please take it back!"

They were embarrassed, so when Cheng Yue was cooking, they would bring food home from time to time. Due to the heavy oil, their faces became round.

Cheng Yue shook her head and sighed, "Sister-in-law Yulan, how can you be like this? You chased me out before I even entered the door?"

When Qian Yulan heard this, she shook her head and waved her hands, and said anxiously: "Oh my! That's not what I meant..."

"Hahaha! I'm just teasing you!"

Cheng Yue couldn't help but laugh a few times. Sometimes it was quite fun to tease others.

It must be because I don’t have a mobile phone to play with that I developed the hobby of making people laugh!

Qian Yulan scolded, "I thought you were really angry, I was scared!"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Who told you to chase me away? I came here to tell you something serious, not just to give you food."

"I'm not trying to chase you away, but you're just saying that on purpose. If you have something to say, just say it. Who told you to always take things? Oh, let's not talk about this anymore! Come home!"

Hearing Cheng Yue say that there was something important going on, Qian Yulan suddenly became curious and a little excited at the same time, and she didn't want to talk about anything else.

After all, the serious matters that Cheng Yue talked about were equivalent to good things. The first time she talked about serious matters, she helped Shao Wen. Later, the serious matters she talked about were sometimes building a house and sometimes collecting medicinal herbs.

Cheng Yue walked in and showed her the potatoes in the basket. "That's what I'm talking about. I can't explain it clearly unless you hold it in your hand."

"Eh? What's this round thing? Is it food?" Qian Yulan said, then took a look at the food in the bowl and asked curiously, "Is this made of this?"

It smells good and looks delicious. What on earth is this?

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Yes, it's called potato, and it's made of this."

"Cheng Yue girl is here! What are you talking about, Doudou?"

The two of them walked into the yard as they were talking. The village head overheard but didn't hear clearly, so he asked a question.

Cheng Yue put the bowl and basket on the table and said, "Uncle Lizheng, these are potatoes. They are what I planted in the dry land next to the house. You asked me what they were and told me to plant some if they were edible.

It's cooked, I'll bring some to you. This bowl is made of potatoes, you can all try it and see if it tastes good."

After hearing this, the village head remembered it, but was still a little surprised. "Isn't this a seed? I remember it was in pieces. How come it looks like this?"

He remembered Cheng Yue saying that this was grain, and he thought it would grow into stalks like corn, but he didn't expect it to be round. He didn't know how it grew.

“Potatoes, like sweet potatoes, grow underground and can be used as food or as a vegetable. They are very filling.

Potatoes taste better and can be cooked in more ways. Most importantly, they can be grown twice a year and have a higher yield than sweet potatoes.”

Cheng Yue didn't hide anything and directly stated all the advantages of potatoes.

When the family heard that planting two crops a year would yield a higher yield, they were shocked. “Can potatoes be planted twice?!”

The head of the village had heard that the south was warmer and that crops could be grown twice a year, but was it also possible to grow two crops a year in their place?

No wonder the yield is high. How much can you harvest just by planting one more crop?

The village head thought hard, it seemed that Cheng Yue had planted the crops in early April before, and now it was the end of June, it had only been two months, and the crops were already ripe? This was really unimaginable...
