After arriving home, the two went to bed early.

The lady prepared breakfast early in the morning and sat aside obediently waiting for everyone to arrive so that she could eat.

Yun Tao woke up early and saw a large table full of food prepared by the lady. She thought to herself, no wonder everyone wants to marry a wife. It's great to be a mother-in-law. Nowadays, you don't have to do any housework. Mothers-in-law in ancient times enjoyed a good life.

Lady: "Mom, you are up now. These meals are simple, just eat whatever you want."

Yun Tao: "Lady, you are very capable. Your food tastes much better than mother's. If you don't believe me, just ask Daniu. I only cook to fill my stomach. I don't care about the color, aroma and taste."

The lady looked at her husband embarrassedly.

Daniu: "It's not good enough for mom to praise you, eat quickly. Lady, eat more, you have worked hard all day and it's been very hard."

Erniu looked at his eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law with jealousy: "This eldest brother is different now that he has a sister-in-law. He has become more considerate and compassionate to his eldest sister-in-law. It makes me and my younger brother jealous. Why didn't he treat us brothers well before?"

When the lady heard this, she lowered her head in embarrassment and her face turned red.

Yun Tao smiled and said, "Don't be jealous, ladies. It will be the same when you have wives in the future. You may even love your wives more than your elder brother does. Then it won't be you who will be teased, but your elder brother and elder sister-in-law."

Sanniu was grinning foolishly beside him.

Da Niu: "San Niu, just stand there and watch the fun. I will laugh at you when you get married. Just wait, neither of you can escape."

Yun Tao: "Okay, you guys hurry up and eat. After eating, come with me to the fields to check on the potatoes we planted before. If we can have a good harvest, then we have a good harvest. It's not a good idea to stay in the fields all the time. We should take advantage of the fact that there is not much work in our workshop now and someone is taking care of the business outside. We still have the energy to take care of the fields."

"No matter how we make money or how big our business is, the crops in the fields are our foundation and we have to keep growing them. We can't let them go to waste."

"Sanniu, your elder brother will take care of more business matters in the future, and won't take care of farm matters for the time being. Erniu, you will take care of the matters in the workshop. You are still young now, and your face hasn't healed yet. You should stay in the village and take care of farm matters. When you are older and the acne marks on your face disappear, mother will arrange new work for you to do."

"My lady, you will be in charge of all matters at home. You don't need to tell me about these chores in the future. You can make all the decisions on your own. In addition, you can freely spend 50 taels of silver at home every month. You can make all the decisions on your own without asking me. You are the eldest sister-in-law. You will be in charge of all the trivial matters at home in the future."

The lady whispered, "Mom, I'm not good at managing things. After all, you're still here. Am I overstepping my boundaries? This isn't good."

Daniel: "Lady, don't refuse when my mother asks you to manage it. Just manage it. My mother is right. You will be in charge of all these things in the future. It's better to let you manage them now. Besides, mother doesn't like managing these miscellaneous things."

Yun Tao: "Daniu, you are right. If you have no objection, then this matter is settled. Let's get started. After breakfast, we can go to the fields together."

After eating their fill, the family walked toward the fields together.

Yun Tao: "It's been a long time since I came to see the crops in the fields. This time we came together as a family. Why do I feel like I'm the landlord of a landlord's family, and you guys are my silly sons."

Sanniu: "Mom, it's true that you are a landlord, but I'm not that stupid son."

Yuntao burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Sanniu, are you still not stupid? But the things you do make me feel that you are a fool. Everything you do is not something a fool would do."

After hearing what Yun Tao was talking about, everyone understood and kept silent.

Tiezhu: "Yuntao, you finally came to check on the crops in your field. You have been here so seldom since you asked us to do this for you. I can count them on my five fingers."

"However, you came at the right time today. The potato harvest is quite good this time. I was just about to go to you after work."

Yun Tao: "What do you want from me?"

While speaking, Tiezhu motioned Yuntao to come inside and take a look.

"Look carefully, the potatoes you planted are quite big when we followed your method. I also have potatoes at home, and I grow them the same way I do as you, but they are very small. There are also big ones, but none as big as yours. Do you have any tricks that you didn't tell us?"

Yun Tao said proudly in her heart, of course there is a trick, otherwise everyone can grow big potatoes, how can I still feel proud.

Yun Tao: "Tiezhu, I don't know your planting method. But the potato seeds I have here are different, not your small potato seeds. I think it has something to do with this. Also, when planting crops, you must have enough fertilizer, but you have to control the amount, not too much but not too little. It's just like people, people who eat well look plump, while poor people look skinny."

Tiezhu: "Yuntao, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten that our potatoes were only watered with pig manure, but you asked us to sprinkle something on them when we were turning the soil. You also asked us to spray some water on them after the seedlings grew. Now that I think about it, it does seem a little different."

Yun Tao: "The things I told you to spread are fertilizers and nutrients. With these, the crops will grow well, but they are not cheap."

Tiezhu: "Even if it's not cheap, it's worth it, Yuntao, look at how big this is. It's bigger than my hand. I can be full with just this one potato. I'm a grown man, how can I be full? This can save many lives in a famine."

"Look at the yield. I've calculated it for you. One acre of land can produce 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms of potatoes. Do you know how much our land can produce per acre? Our yield is only 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms per acre. The difference is at least three times. What does three times mean? If I sell it, I can get a few more taels of silver."

"Who wouldn't like this output? I like it very much. If everyone in the village knew about this, they would be scared to death."
