Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

"This Futian Village is quite lively today," he whispered to himself.

After lowering the car curtain, I felt more curious and appreciative of this harvest scene.

Wu Baixi thought to himself: I didn't expect that the weather was bad this year, and there was a severe drought everywhere in Yan State, but I could see such a good harvest scene in Futian Village.

He frowned slightly. Was it that this village had a unique method of cultivation, or was there some other reason? His confusion made him want to find out more.

Wu Baixi's carriage stopped at the door of Xiuying's house. Chen Zexi, also known as Awang, was sweeping the yard when he saw his uncle walk in. Awang put down the broom in his hand and hurried to greet him.

"Uncle, why are you back?" Awang showed a look of surprise on his face.

Wu Baixi: What? I shouldn't come back?

Wu Baixi smiled and patted Awang's shoulder. Instead of answering immediately, he looked around the yard.

At this time, Xiuying was making mung bean soup in the kitchen. When she heard the noise outside, she wiped her hands and walked out.

"It's Brother Wu who's back. Come in and sit down." Xiuying greeted him warmly.

Wu Baixi nodded and followed Xiuying into the house. He was still thinking about the harvest scene he had just seen and how to ask.

Wu Baixi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said implicitly: "Sister Xiuying, the situation is unstable now. I just came back from the capital and have not rested yet. I have to go to Fancheng again. I'm afraid that Awang will have to disturb you for a while." There was a hint of helplessness and apology in his eyes.

Chen Zexi heard this and said hurriedly, "Uncle, don't worry about your work. I won't cause any trouble for Aunt Xiuying here."

He had a serious look on his face and a determined gaze. There were hundreds of eggs in the chicken coop waiting for him to pick up every day, and he also had to feed the chickens and ducks. This family could not exist without him.

Xiuying quickly replied: "Brother Wu, what are you talking about? Awang is a well-behaved and sensible child. I am so happy for him that I can't even think of disturbing him." She smiled, her eyes full of sincerity.

Wu Baixi nodded slightly and sighed softly: "In that case, thank you very much, sister."

His brows were still slightly furrowed, and it was obvious that he was still worried about the turbulent situation and busy affairs.

Wu Baixi remained calm on the surface, but deep down, his thoughts were swirling: "As long as I can settle Zexi before I go to Fancheng, I won't have to worry about anything. My sister only left me with this one child, and I must protect him."

I don’t know what kind of difficulties and dangers I will encounter on this trip to Fancheng, but as long as Zexi is safe and sound, I will not be afraid of any danger I encounter.

Thinking of this, his eyes became more determined, and he secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

Xiuying is a kind and reliable person, and it would be appropriate to entrust Awang to her. Thinking this, Wu Baixi's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Wu Baixi put down his teacup and asked, "When I entered the village, I saw the villagers harvesting a good harvest. I guess those are the sweet potatoes I ate here before, right?"

His eyes were fixed on Xiuying, full of curiosity and inquiry.

Xiuying smiled and said, "Five families in the village were given sweet potato vines, and they have all harvested a good harvest from the sweet potato vines they planted.

What you see today are the bountiful sweet potatoes from the five families who received the sweet potato vines." Her eyes were filled with pride, and her hands gestured unconsciously.

Wu Baixi looked at Xiuying in surprise, his eyes wide open and his face full of disbelief.

"When I entered the village just now, I saw at least several thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes. How could this be the harvest of five households?" His voice rose a few degrees because of shock.

He couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth in the room.

"The yield is beyond imagination. If it can be promoted in more places, people won't have to worry about having enough food and clothing." Wu Baixi's heart was like a storm.

Looking at Xiuying again, there was a bit more anxiety and anticipation in his eyes.

"Sister Xiuying, please tell me in detail how to grow sweet potatoes."

Xiuying looked at Wu Baixi's anxious look, smiled heartily, and said, "Brother Wu, I didn't intend to hide it. This is something we all figured out together." She cleared her throat and began to speak seriously.

"First, we need to choose the right site, with deep, fertile soil. When planting, be sure to space the potatoes carefully—not too dense or too sparse. Also, sweet potatoes are drought-tolerant, but they need to be watered moderately during critical periods..." Xiuying spoke eloquently, detailing every detail. Her eyes were focused, her hands gesturing with movement, as if she were back in the field working.

Xiuying told me the method of growing ordinary sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes grown in the mall do not require high soil fertility and they are all cultivated.

Wu Baixi listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Xiuying, you explained it in such detail. Thank you so much."

Xiuying frowned slightly and said to Wu Baixi seriously, "Brother Wu, I'm afraid it's not possible to plant sweet potatoes on a large scale now.

Think about it, growing sweet potatoes requires seeds and vines, but there are only five households in the village that grow sweet potatoes, which means only five households have vines."

She shook her head slightly as she spoke, a hint of worry in her tone.

"If we want to promote sweet potato cultivation, we must first let all the villagers in Futian Village plant them. Once every household has enough sweet potato vines, we can promote them elsewhere."

Xiuying looked at Wu Baixi with a firm gaze, hoping that he could understand the key.

"This is a gradual process, and we can't rush it. We have to take it one step at a time, first ensuring that the scale of planting in the village is expanded, and then consider other things."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Baixi sat in a chair, his hands folded in front of him, his eyes slightly closed, lost in thought. The room fell silent for a moment, the only sound being the occasional bird song outside the window.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and nodded, his eyes becoming firm and bright.

"Sister Xiuying, you're right. More haste, less speed. This matter really can't be rushed. We have to take it step by step. I was too hasty."

He stood up and paced around the house with his hands behind his back: "Let all the villagers in Futian Village plant the crops first to lay a solid foundation so that future promotion can be smoother."

Wu Baixi stopped and showed an admiring expression on her face: "Sister, thanks for your thoughtful consideration."

Wu Baixi looked at Xiuying and continued sincerely: "Xiuying, you are an expert in planting!" His eyes were full of admiration and he gave a thumbs up.
