A few days later, it was time for the Lin family to harvest potatoes.

Not only Lin Qingshan's family, but also Pan's father came to help, even Grandma Lu came to the house to help Lin's mother cook. It takes a lot of effort to feed so many people.

Looking at the potatoes growing well in his own field, Lin Yunchu felt more confident. This was the first time he had tried to grow potatoes. He would have to wait until all the potatoes were harvested to know the specific harvest.

Father Lin and the others standing at the edge of the field were secretly clasping their hands. Lin Yunchu had said earlier that this thing called potato had a higher yield than sweet potato.

Not only can they be eaten as vegetables, but they can also be used directly as food. If there is a good harvest, the family’s land can be planted with these potatoes in the future, and the family will no longer go hungry.

Everyone looked towards Lin Yunchu, waiting for her to speak, and then they all started to work to see the result.

Lin Yunchu's lips curled slightly, he turned his head and said loudly: "Brother and cousin, you two should try to pull one out first."

Lin Changting and Lin Changping are the youngest and strongest among the group. Lin Yunchu specifically asked them to try it first and see the effect.

Lin Changting and Lin Changping nodded, walked forward and followed Lin Yunchu's instructions. They grabbed it with both hands, shook it gently, and then pulled it out.

These were the newly purchased sandy lands by the Lin family. The soil was soft and the potatoes were easily pulled out. It was not as difficult as harvesting sweet potatoes.

I saw that the potatoes I pulled out were still attached to the vines, one after another, and one potato actually produced almost eight or nine potatoes.

The big ones are as big as a fist, and the smallest ones are about the size of an egg. They are connected to each other, which is pleasing to the eye. This one has produced so many potatoes, so how many must this piece of land have?

Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, some of them couldn't believe it, and they felt an indescribable joy in their hearts. These were all food, and they would all have enough to eat in the future.

After Lin Yunchu's joy, he took a hoe and walked forward quickly. He put the potatoes that the two of them had just pulled up aside, and carefully used the hoe to dig around the roots of the vines that had been pulled up.

When pulling up the potatoes, some of the larger ones may have grown too deep to be pulled out. After pulling out these potato seedlings, you have to check them again, otherwise you will miss a lot of them.

As expected, Lin Yunchu dug around carefully again and actually dug out three or four potatoes. The people around him were amazed.

"I harvested so many potatoes from just one crop. Good, good."

Father Lin touched the potatoes he had just dug up, his face full of satisfaction.

Then Lin Yunchu picked the potatoes from the potato vines he had just pulled up and piled them aside together with the potatoes he had dug up.

"Okay, that's it. Just harvest them like this. Be careful when digging so you don't damage the potatoes underneath. Damaged potatoes won't be easy to store."

Lin Yunchu patted the sand off his hands and spoke to everyone with a smile.

After hearing the words, everyone immediately rolled up their sleeves and got to work. The men were responsible for pulling out the potatoes in the front, and the remaining women took hoes and dug out the potatoes that were missed under the soil in the back.

Lin Yunchu and Lin Changan were responsible for picking the potatoes from the vines and putting them aside. Soon, piles of picked potatoes could be seen in the field.

"Sister, these potatoes are really a lot."

Lin Changan lowered his head, his hands constantly pulling the potatoes, and said to Lin Yunchu with a big laugh, "I don't know what these potatoes taste like."

These potatoes look bumpy and look like lumps of dirt, which doesn't look good. I heard Lin Yunchu say that this thing can be used for cooking before, but I don't know if it will taste good or not, or if it tastes like sweet potatoes.

The Lin family also planted sweet potatoes in their fields. They were usually cooked with coarse grains and tasted sweet. When the weather got cold, Lin's mother would occasionally roast a few for them, which was really delicious.

Thinking of roasted sweet potatoes, Lin Changan smacked his lips, missing the sweet taste.

"It's not that difficult. I'll make it for you tomorrow."

Lin Yunchu smiled and looked up at the sand in front of him. It seemed that he could harvest all the potatoes in one day.

It’s a good thing that so many people came to help today, otherwise it would take two or three days to finish the work.

At noon, even the food was brought over by Lin's mother. After lunch, everyone simply rested under the tree for a while and then started to work again.

Several villagers passing by saw the Lin family busy working in the fields today. They were puzzled by the potatoes piled in the fields and stood by to watch.

Father Lin did not hide it and gave a brief introduction to everyone.

Several people looked at the piles of lumps on the ground with half-belief and half-doubt, and they were at a loss for a moment. If it were in the past, they would definitely laugh at the Lin family, thinking that they might have been cheated.

If there really is such a good thing, and they were able to come across it and get a great bargain, if these are edible foods, it would be really amazing. You know, even the yield of sweet potatoes is not so high.

It's a pity that these words were not spoken out loud. If Lin Yunchu had heard them, he would definitely have explained to them that growing sweet potatoes does require skills.

The sandy land they bought before can actually grow more than just potatoes. If it is used to grow sweet potatoes, the yield will be higher than that grown in ordinary land.

Several people looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

If it were the Lin family of the past, they would naturally have some doubts, but everyone in the village knows how prosperous the Lin family is now.

There was no need for Lin Wenshan to lie to them. After all, this thing called potatoes was only owned by the Lin family. Even if they were jealous, there was nothing they could do.

If they don’t have seeds, they can only watch as the crops don’t grow.

However, if this thing is really as good as Lin Wenshan said, then it would be a great thing. Several people looked at each other, and when they returned to the village, they all rushed to the headman's house.

No one in the Lin family's field took it seriously. They worked hard and finally harvested all the potatoes in the field by the evening.

Lin Changting had already pulled an ox cart, loaded the potatoes and took them back home.

In the Lin family's kitchen, Lin's mother and Lu's grandmother had already prepared dinner, which included meat, vegetables and soup. Although it didn't taste as good as Lin Yunchu's, no one said anything. After a busy day, everyone was busy eating with their heads down, and they had no time to think about anything else.

After dinner, no one was in a hurry to go home. They gathered in the yard to look at the potatoes they had harvested today. The land was only one acre, but the potatoes harvested in the yard today looked to weigh at least three or four hundred kilograms.
