The weather is clear and cool in autumn, and it is the harvest season.

The Su family has not yet eaten all the grain harvested last year, but it is time to harvest the crops in the fields.

Su Weixi stored all the uneaten food in the warehouse into the space.

This year, Su Ma is pregnant and cannot work together. Su Weixi even doesn't want Su Ma to cook.

I insist on coming back to cook after I finish working in the fields every day.

But Su's father didn't want his daughter to be so tired every day, so he didn't let Su Weixi go to the fields. He asked her to cook at home while he went to the fields alone.

Su Weixi was also worried about having to work on the harvest in the fields. There was no one else in the valley last fall.

I used space cheats to transport the food back.

There are other people in the valley this year, so it is impossible to transport them back using space.

While the three were arguing, Shitou, who happened to be delivering game, heard them.

He immediately ran back to the cabin to report the matter to Xiao Yi.

After a while, Xiao Yi came over and said that he would ask someone to help.

Su Ma shouldn't work since she's pregnant, and Su Weixi is still young and a girl, so she should just stay at home.

Finally, it became.

Su Ma stayed at home and Su Weixi cooked at home.

Xiao Yi, along with Shitou, Wu Wei and the secret guards who were protecting them nearby, went to the fields to help Su's father harvest the crops.

Secret Guard: Which secret guard still needs to do farm work? You still call them secret guards?

Today is the first day of autumn harvest, and the autumn heat is still quite severe.

Su Weixi thought that everyone should help with the work, so he had to get some cooling drinks over.

So I made fruit jelly, boiled some herbal tea, and got a few big watermelons.

Put it on the wheelbarrow made by Su's father and push it to the field.

As a result, when they arrived at the field, they saw that Mr. Fu, Doctor Lin, Nanny Qing'ersun and others were all there.

"Dad, I made some herbal tea. Let's take a rest." Su Weixi shouted to his father Su in the field.

"Everyone, take a break and have some tea."

Su Weixi was standing under a tree, and his things were placed under the tree so that everyone could rest in the shade.

Everyone came over, and the one who ran the fastest was Shi Tou.

Su Weixi asked everyone to choose what they wanted to eat or drink. Shitou and Qing'er both took the watermelon first.

Mr. Fu picked up the herbal tea and drank it slowly. Doctor Lin also drank the herbal tea. Xiao Yi stood aside and waited for everyone to take their tea.

Su Weixi looked at the group of secret guards who were still working hard to dig potatoes not far away, and said to Xiao Yi: "Young General, call those big brothers over as well."

Only then did Xiao Yi realize that without his orders, these secret guards would not stop what they were doing.

After giving Wu Wei a few instructions, Wu Wei ran over and called the secret guard over, but he did not go near and just waited under a tree not far away.

"Miss Su, please give some things to Wu Wei." Xiao Yi said.

Su Weixi thought that these secret guards lived in the dark all year round and rarely interacted with people, so they probably couldn't adapt.

So, he separated a part of it and asked Shitou to help Wu Wei deliver it.

"Sister, what's in this bucket?" Qing'er asked while looking at the ice jelly in the bucket.

"Oh, this is ice jelly. It tastes icy and cool. I'll serve you a bowl."

After Su Weixi finished speaking, he served everyone a bowl. As expected, it won everyone's heart.

Su Weixi was originally curious. Why did Mr. Fu go to his own field instead of taking Qing'er to the cabin for class in such hot weather?

When they had rested for a while, they heard Mr. Fu examining Qing'er, and then they realized that he hoped the little prince would not be lazy and would not know the difference between grains.

However, it is estimated that apart from wheat and some common vegetables, Mr. Fu does not recognize other crops.

As the saying goes, Su Weixi soon heard the conversation between Mr. Fu and his father.

"Nephew Su, I wonder what crops are planted in the field next to this? I have never seen them before."

Everyone looked in the direction that Mr. Fu pointed, and the Su father and daughter understood.

This is indeed something they absolutely did not know, because sweet potatoes did not exist in this dynasty.

"This is called sweet potato. I accidentally discovered it while hunting in the mountains two years ago. Later, it sprouted, and my wife planted it in the ground. We found that the yield was good and it could fill our stomachs." Dad Su started talking nonsense without blinking.

"Oh? I wonder what the yield per mu is?" Mr. Fu asked immediately when he heard that the yield was good.

"Last year, we didn't take very good care of it, and the yield per mu was about 2,000 kilograms."

"What? Two thousand catties per mu?"

"Uncle Su is right."

"impossible!"

Everyone seemed to have heard something incredible and couldn't believe it.

"Nephew Su, do you know how many kilograms of wheat and rice are produced per mu in Dasheng?"

"Well, I was hunting at the foot of the mountain before, and I don't have any fields at home, so I'm not sure."

Dad Su was not lying. The original owner's family made a living by hunting. They bought prey and had to pay for food, so it was not clear.

"In Dasheng, the wheat yield per mu is about 100 kilograms, and the rice yield per mu is about 200 kilograms. If the sweet potato you mentioned yields 1,000 kilograms per mu, then there will be no more people starving to death in Dasheng!" Old Fu still didn't quite believe it.

"Uncle Su, is it the harvest season for sweet potatoes?" Xiao Yi asked.

"You can collect it."

"Then can we harvest these sweet potatoes today?"

"It's all right."

As a result, the plan to harvest wheat was suspended.

No one was in the mood to eat or drink the "afternoon tea" prepared by Su Weixi anymore, and they all went towards the sweet potato field.

Except for Su's father and Su Weixi, everyone else didn't know how to harvest the sweet potatoes, and they all looked at Su's father.

Dad Su picked up the hoe and started digging sweet potatoes.

Dad Su only dug a few times with the hoe, and four or five sweet potatoes weighing about two or three pounds came out along the vines.

Dad Su was just about to squat down and pick up the sweet potato.

Two figures were faster than him. Mr. Fu and Xiao Yi each picked up a sweet potato in one hand and weighed it in disbelief.

It was surprisingly heavy, probably about two or three pounds.

"Uncle Su, how do I eat this?" Xiao Yi asked.

"This can be eaten raw or steamed. You can also peel it, cut it into pieces and cook it with rice into porridge." Dad Su briefly explained how to eat it.

As soon as Su's father finished speaking, Xiao Yi immediately broke open the sweet potato in his hand and took a bite.

"Dad, you forgot that this can be roasted. Roasted sweet potatoes are delicious. Also, when its leaves are tender, you can stir-fry them. Now that these leaves are old, you can also chopped them up and feed livestock." Su Weixi added.

"The leaves can be eaten? Won't that affect the yield?" Mr. Fu asked.

"No, we need to remove the leaves so that they won't compete with the fruits for nutrients, and the final yield will be better."

Su Weixi and Su's father kept answering questions from everyone.

Finally, everyone joined in and dug out all the sweet potatoes in an acre of land in the first morning. The more they dug, the brighter their eyes became.

Dad Su also asked Su Weixi to go back home and bring the scale he bought in the city.

After weighing it, they found it was about 3,000 kilograms. Su's father explained that this year the family took better care of the food than last year.

Mr. Fu and Xiao Yi were both so excited that they were speechless. Their eyes met and they both understood what the other meant.

Su's father and Su Weixi, who were standing nearby, also exchanged glances, knowing that the plan had succeeded.

Next, all he had to do was wait for Xiao Yi to come find his home.

But that’s all for later. Everyone transported the sweet potatoes back to the Su family and prepared to have lunch.

After lunch, everyone spent the afternoon harvesting the wheat.

After harvesting the wheat, Mr. Fu and Xiao Yi were excited again!

The reason is simple. The two found that the Su family's wheat yield per mu is higher than the current average yield per mu in Dasheng.

After harvesting the wheat in the afternoon, Xiao Yi discovered that the Su family's wheat seemed to yield more than 100 kilograms per acre.

He whispered something to Wu Wei, and when he came back, he was holding a scale in his hand, and followed by Mr. Fu, who was studying sweet potatoes at Su's house.

Xiao Yi suggested to Su's father that they weigh the kilograms of wheat. The Su family planted a total of three acres of wheat, and the final weight came out to be 1280 kilograms, equivalent to a yield of more than 400 kilograms per acre.

Mr. Fu held the wheat in his hands with tears in his eyes. After being persuaded by Xiao Yi, he turned around and pulled Mr. Su to ask where he bought the wheat seeds.

Of course, what Su's father gave was the same excuse that has never changed, saying that it was left by an old hunter.

In fact, Su Weixi felt that the wheat yield was quite average. It was probably because he didn't take good care of it, or maybe the fertilizer was not enough.

In the past, wheat yields ranged from as low as 600 kilograms per mu to over kilograms per mu in some areas.

But considering that there was no fertilizer in that era, the yield would be several times higher than the wheat yield of this era, so Su Weixi did not continue to think about it.

After a busy day, everyone was exhausted.

After returning to the Su family in the evening, everyone dispersed after dinner.

Even Mr. Fu, who was reluctant to leave and wanted to talk to Su's father again, was pulled away by Xiao Yi.
