Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Jiang Jiyun quietly watched their backs gradually moving away until they completely disappeared from his sight. Then he turned around and walked alone to the stone bench in the yard and sat down.

Beside her, two loyal dogs were wagging their tails happily and eating sweet potato peels happily.

The sweet potato that Jiang Jiyun was holding had a slightly browned skin and was emitting an enticing aroma.

She broke the sweet potato into two halves, handed one half to the impatient dogs around her, and slowly tasted the other half herself.

The sweet potato melted in her mouth, and the sweet and soft taste made her squint her eyes and enjoy the deliciousness.

At this moment, Ma Chao and others stopped what they were doing and came to the yard to eat the black but delicious sweet potatoes cooked by Jiang Wenming.

Just as they were sitting together, talking and laughing and eating, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came.

Everyone looked up alertly and saw Captain Song and a few others rushing into the yard in a hurry.

Jiang Wenming was shocked when he saw this. He quickly picked up Jiang Jiyun, stood up and walked into the house.

Ma Chao and others did not dare to delay and immediately stood up and stood in front as if facing a formidable enemy.

There was a look of vigilance on everyone's face, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Oh, my, I'm so sorry, it seems like we scared you all! I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry!" Captain Song saw the group of young men in front of him looking so alert, he couldn't help but pat his head and said with sudden enlightenment.

Ma Chao stared at Captain Song closely, not letting his guard down at all because of the other party's apology.

He asked calmly, "Captain Song, you came here in such a hurry. Did you run into any trouble? If you need our help, just ask. As long as we can, we will definitely not refuse."

Hearing Ma Chao's words, Captain Song was stunned at first, then he smiled and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, don't misunderstand me. Just now, my nephew Shitou brought home a big roasted sweet potato. It was very big and tasted fragrant and sweet. We were curious about where the sweet potato was bought from, so we came here to ask, thinking that if we can buy the same variety, we will buy more to keep as seeds."

Captain Song gestured with his hands to indicate the size of the sweet potato as he spoke.

"It's the round sweet potato in your hands!" The man who came with Captain Song pointed to the huge sweet potatoes in the hands of Ma Chao and others and said loudly.

When Ma Chao heard this, he quickly lowered his head and his eyes fell on the sweet potato that was still steaming in his hand.

The sweet potato gave off an enticing aroma. He hesitated for a moment, then decisively broke the sweet potato into two halves and handed the larger half to Captain Song.

Captain Song saw this and waved his hands hastily, a hint of embarrassment on his face. He explained, "Alas, we are not here to ask for food. We just saw the sweet potatoes in your hands and wondered if we could exchange some with you for seeds."

Hearing this, Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and responded enthusiastically: "Haha, everyone, feel free to try this sweet potato. To be honest, this sweet potato not only has a large yield, but also has good quality. It is a brand new variety that we specially found someone from the neighboring city and had great difficulty in getting!"

After saying that, he did not forget to wave the remaining half of the sweet potato in his hand to everyone.

At this time, Xu Qin, who was standing behind Captain Song, stepped forward and said to Ma Chao with a big smile on his face: "My dear brother, I think the number of seeds you exchanged should not be too much, right? We only need a little bit. Let's plant a small part first and try it out. If the harvest is good, we will keep some as seeds for next year's planting. What do you think?"

Jiang Wenming and Jiang Jiyun were standing in the house. When they heard this, they suddenly realized why everyone rushed into the yard.

Jiang Jiyun just raised his hand slightly, and two large bulging sacks filled with sweet potatoes appeared out of thin air in the house.

After placing everything properly, Jiang Wenming gently took Jiang Jiyun's hand and walked out the door.

Facing the curious and expectant eyes of the crowd, Jiang Wenming smiled slightly and said slowly: "Everyone, in fact, we can plant half of the land for our first attempt at planting."

Captain Song, Xu Qin and others all looked delighted after hearing this, their eyes full of surprise.

Captain Song couldn't wait to take a few steps forward, walked straight to Jiang Wenming, and asked anxiously: "Little brother, do you know how many acres of land we have here?"

Jiang Wenming shook his head slightly and answered truthfully: "To be honest, I have no idea how much land you have. But..." At this point, he paused for a moment and continued: "I know that you don't need to prepare too many sweet potato seeds to grow sweet potatoes, because you can plant them on a large scale through the method of cuttings!"

Hearing what he said, those people who had been dealing with the land all their lives could not help but look at each other, and were all stunned on the spot.

After all, they had never heard of this novel method of planting by cuttings before, and were at a loss for a moment.

Jiang Wenming looked at Captain Song and the others who looked at him in a bewildered state, so he turned back into the house and carefully took out the book whose cover Jiang Jiyun had torn off.

Now, this originally brand new book has become wrinkled and in a mess after being read over and over again by him.

Jiang Wenming took it out and told them, "These are all things mentioned in the book! My hometown is farming according to this method this year."

You know, after seeing the book, his two brothers copied it out word for word.

Moreover, the book not only records the method of growing sweet potatoes, but also describes in detail the key points of growing other types of crops.

Ma Chao and several others had also read that book. When they saw the pages with beautiful printing and clear handwriting, they began to wonder in their hearts that such sophisticated printing technology was definitely not something we could have now.

Therefore, they firmly believe that everything written in this book is true and credible.

Not only that, Ma Chao even read the contents of the book aloud to Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou recorded them all very seriously and responsibly.

It is said that in the second half of last year, people planted potatoes and sweet potatoes according to the methods described in the book, and the final yield was quite amazing.

After only one season of sowing, the harvest was enough to fully guarantee the daily food and clothing needs of the local people and many soldiers.

Ma Chao told Captain Song that "some places in the west have already planted it, and it is not a big problem to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu."

"thump!"

Xu Qin and the others knelt down and said, "If we can really have such a high yield, our whole village will not be afraid of starving to death. Please teach us!"
