I trade in both worlds

Xu Xu found a jar and filled it with millet porridge, put the jar in the basket, picked up the bamboo basket and went to the modern world.

As soon as she walked over, she saw Xu Jin sitting on the mat looking around, while the other children were still sleeping soundly. When Xu Jin saw her, he immediately got up and ran over with a smile.

Xu Xu hurriedly stopped him and whispered, "Don't run, there's porridge in the jar, be careful of the heat."

Xu Jin slowed down and said, "No running."

Xu Xu opened the door of the utility room, put the basket and bamboo basket on the steps of the main house, opened the lid of the jar and let it cool.

Xu Jin touched his stomach, pointed at the buns and asked, "Sister, can I eat it?"

"Yes, but you haven't washed up yet." He took Xu Jin's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you back to wash up first, and then come over to eat buns later."

"Okay." Xu Jin skipped and followed Xu Xu back home.

When Xu Jin came back from washing up, Xu Zhun and Xu Qiwei also woke up. Xu Xu ran back and forth several times, but Xu Ziqing still didn't get up. Xu Xu took the children to sit on the steps and eat breakfast.

After receiving the vegetables bought last night, Xu Ziqing still hadn't gotten up. Looking at the sky, Xu Xu decided not to wait any longer. She took a piece of clean gauze to cover the buns and put them together with the porridge in the utility room. She put a note on the door of the utility room for Xu Ziqing, telling her that breakfast was in the utility room, and they would go back first and come back in the afternoon, and asked her not to go over yet, as someone might come to pick up tiles today.

After returning home, Xu Xu washed the clothes and then took the children to Xu Jizong's house. As she walked, she was thinking about how to explain where the potatoes came from.

She thought too simply yesterday. Food is related to people's livelihood. If the grain output is really that high, there will probably be many powerful people vying for the credit. They are just ordinary people. If they don't want to become victims of the struggle between the powerful, they cannot ask for benefits. But after all the hard work, they have to give up the credit and get nothing. Xu Xu is a little unwilling.

I still need to think about this matter seriously.

As soon as he entered the yard, Xu Youyin saw Xu Xu and greeted her, "Sister, have you had breakfast?"

"I ate it." Xu Xu thought of picking up tiles and asked, "When can I pick up tiles if I have silver?"

Xu Youyin smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you. I went to buy the tiles yesterday and arranged for them to be delivered at 7:00 p.m. Normally, we go to work at 1:00 p.m., but I was afraid that the kids wouldn't get up that early, so I told them to go at 11:00 p.m."

"How long will it take me to pick up everything?" Xu Xu asked.

"At most two days. I've found a few more people." Xu Youyin replied.

Xu Xu calculated the time. It didn't matter if he was two days late. He would plow the land first after making sure it was done. Besides, it would take time to buy good seeds. He was not sure how much he could plant. If he planted too much, it would take more than one or two days to get good seeds. In addition, it would take 7-10 days for the potatoes to germinate. He had to hurry up and not delay the farming season.

Thinking of this, Xu Xu felt that time was not enough, and urged: "Okay, find a few more people if you can, and finish it earlier. We have other things to do."

Chen Lihua saw that there were yellow bumps on the basket that Xu Xu was holding. She picked one up and looked at it, then asked curiously, "Sister, what is this?"

Second Aunt Xu and Lin Erya also gathered around. Xu Jizong and Xu Youliang were sitting at the door making bamboo strips. They looked at them gathered together and looked up from time to time.

Xu Xu smiled and said, "This is good stuff. Let's talk about it later. Have you had breakfast?"

"I ate it." Aunt Xu put the potatoes in her hand back into the basket and asked curiously, "What's so good? Can this be eaten?"

"Not only is it edible, it's also very delicious." Xu Xu put the basket on the ground and said to Chen Lihua: "Lihua, please close the gate. I want to tell you something."

Aunt Xu moved two stools, gave one to Xu Xu, and sat on the other herself.

After the gate was closed, Xu Xu sat opposite Xu Jizong and said to him, "Uncle, this is a potato. I want to use some land to grow this."

Xu Jizong thought she would only plant one or two acres, so he said indifferently: "Then plant it. How much do you plan to plant?"

Xu Xu replied: "I originally wanted to plant 5 mu, but I thought about it last night and felt that 5 mu was not enough, but I still want to discuss with you how much to plant."

"Five acres?" Xu Jizong looked at Xu Xu suspiciously, "Why do you want to plant so much?"

"Uncle, 5 acres is not a lot, and this is just the initial idea. Now I want to plant as much as I can, and try to plant more." Xu Xu said.

Xu Jizong frowned and looked at Xu Xu. He didn't know what she wanted to do, but he also knew that she wouldn't joke about the land. He stared at the potatoes for a long time and asked, "What is this? Why do you plant so many?"

"Second Uncle." Xu Xu looked at him seriously and said, "Don't tell anyone what I'm going to say next for now."

Seeing Xu Xu's serious expression, Xu Jizong nodded and turned to look at Second Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu looked up at her son and daughter-in-law and said sternly, "You heard what Xuxu said. No matter what you hear, keep it to yourself. If anyone dares to spread rumors outside, I will make you suffer."

Seeing that they all nodded without saying anything, Xu Jizong looked at Xu Xu and said, "Go ahead."

Xu Xu held the potatoes and said to them, "This thing comes from overseas. It can be used as food or vegetables, but that's not why I want to grow it. The reason I want to grow it is because it has a high yield."

"High yield?" Xu Jizong looked at Xu Xu with shining eyes: "How high is the yield?"

Xu Xu glanced at everyone and casually said, "It is said that the yield per mu is 1.38777777."

"How much?" Xu Jizong was so shocked that his voice became extremely sharp.

Aunt Xu stared at Tu Dou, while Xu Youliang, Lin Erya and Chen Lihua looked at Xu Xu in disbelief.

Xu Youyin took the potato, weighed it, and asked in surprise: "That's it? What is the yield per mu?"

Xu Xu nodded and said, "The person who gave me the seeds said so. He said the yield overseas is this high, but we can't guarantee it when we grow it here."

After coming to her senses, Second Aunt Xu snatched the potato from Xu Youyin's hand and said, "You are still weighing such an important thing. If you break it, I will break your hand."

Xu Youyin looked at Aunt Xu in amazement: "Mom, you picked me up, didn't you? You actually think a potato is more important than me."

Second Aunt Xu slapped his arm and scolded him, "It's too late for you to realize you were picked up now."

Xu Jizong reached out and took a potato in his hand. He looked at it again and again, still finding it a little unbelievable that such a lump of earth could produce as much as 100 million tons per mu. How many people could it feed?
