The Lin family planted two acres of land this year. If they harvest potatoes from another field tomorrow, there will be more than a thousand kilograms of potatoes.

No one had expected this harvest. Although Lin Yunchu had said that the potato yield was high, no one had expected it to be so high.

One acre of land can produce so many potatoes. If we plant a few more acres, our family will never lack food in the future.

Everyone in the yard had a happy look on their faces. Lin Yunchu said that when spring comes next year, if they want to plant potatoes, they can get seeds from the Lin family.

This is a great thing. Who wouldn't be excited to think that these inconspicuous lumps will become edible food in the future?

The next day, everyone worked hard all day and finally harvested all the potatoes in the field. They piled them in the cellar to keep for later consumption and as seeds for next year.

He distributed some to several families and asked them to go back and try how it tasted. Lin Yunchu also explained the cooking method in detail.

It was just getting dark and several families had just returned home. The Lin family was thinking that after two days of hard work, everyone was exhausted and wanted to rest early in the evening.

"Clap clap clap."

There was a rapid knock on the door outside the courtyard, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.

It's dark now, who would come to visit? There are many people visiting the Lin family on weekdays, but no one comes to visit at night.

"Oh, it can't be Uncle Fang, he came over this morning just after you got out of the fields. He knew you were not at home, so he said he would come later."

Mother Lin screamed in surprise. Uncle Fang was the head of Qingxi Village. Early in the morning, when others had just gone to the fields and she was busy feeding the chickens, the head of the village came.

He didn't say anything and just left when he saw that no one else from the Lin family was around.

Lin's mother was also a little confused, but when she got busy she forgot about it.

Village head?

Father Lin looked at Lin Yunchu, who frowned slightly and shook his head.

She didn't know either. She hadn't asked the village head to do anything recently. The village head came to her at this time. Could it be that there was something important?

Father Lin was worried that the visitor was the village head, so he didn't dare to delay. He didn't care about the fatigue of the past two days and quickly got up to open the door.

"Uncle Fang, it really is you!"

Father Lin opened the gate. It was pitch black outside. With the dim candlelight in the house, he could see clearly that the person coming was indeed the head of the village.

Father Lin was startled and quickly turned sideways to let the headman into the house.

I saw someone coming over. When he saw Lin Wenshan, his face was filled with joy and smiles.

"Yes, you were not here when I came this morning. I thought you would be back by now, so I came here."

The headman walked into the house and saw a pile of potatoes left in the corner. His expression suddenly became serious. He walked up, picked one up, and looked at it carefully in his hand.

Lin Yunchu now understood a little bit. It seemed that Li Zheng came to him so late just for these potatoes.

But he didn't know what he wanted to say, so Lin Yunchu walked aside and sat down, planning to wait and listen to what the headman had to say. There was no rush now.

Lin's mother quickly boiled a pot of water, brewed some tea, and poured a cup for the head of the village. Immediately, the room was filled with the aroma of tea.

This tea was the gift that Xue Jingran sent to Lin Changting when he got married. Normally, the Lin family members were reluctant to drink it, so they brewed a pot of it to entertain the guests when the village head came today.

"Uncle Fang, it's so late, is there something important that brings you here?"

Seeing that the village head had been staring at the potato in his hand for a long time, Lin's father didn't know the purpose of the village head's visit today. He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Lin's mother and others standing aside also looked towards Li Zheng.

No one expected the village head to come suddenly, and no one knew what had happened. In the past two days, the family had been busy harvesting potatoes in the fields. Could something have happened in the village?

Hearing Lin's father's voice, the village head finally came to his senses. He stopped staring at the potatoes and asked him with joy, "Is this the grain you harvested these past two days?"

When he heard the headman ask about the potatoes in his hand, although Mr. Lin didn't know why, he had to nod.

"Is this thing really edible? What's the yield? Where can I buy seeds?"

The head of the village asked in one breath.

Father Lin didn't understand, but he answered honestly, "It can be eaten, used as food, and used in cooking. One acre of land can yield about 300 to 400 kilograms."

Father Lin swallowed his saliva and continued, "But I don't know where to buy the seeds. The seeds we planted before were also bought by my Yunchu by chance."

This is all that Father Lin really knew. When Lin Yunchu bought those potatoes, he couldn't believe that so many of them could be grown. Who would have thought that the yield would be so high?

Hearing what Lin's father said, the headman's eyes showed a little disappointment. When he heard that this was bought by Lin Yunchu, he looked at Lin Yunchu.

Seeing the village head's expression, Lin Yunchu raised his eyebrows. "I really don't know where to buy this. I just stumbled across it before. The guy said he bought it from a foreign merchant by chance. He said it came from a foreign country."

This is quite true. Later, when Lin Yunchu went to the rice shop again, he noticed it several times and indeed did not see this thing again.

The guy said that this was the first time he had seen such a thing from a foreign merchant, and it seemed that this thing was indeed brought here by a foreign merchant accidentally.

Originally, the owner of the rice shop thought that the rice was really novel as the merchant said, so he bought it from the merchant. Unexpectedly, it ended up falling into his own hands.

If Lin Yunchu hadn't decided to buy all the potatoes, they would have been thrown away in the end, wasting all the money.

I'm afraid that the owner of the rice shop will never dare to ask for those new and novel things that he has never seen before. They are novel, but no one knows about them and no one is willing to buy them.

After hearing Lin Yunchu's words, the headman's face was full of disappointment. Thinking that these things could be used as food and had such a high yield, he had originally thought that maybe he could let the people of Qingxi Village try to grow some next year.

What should I do now that I can’t even buy seeds?

Seeing that the Lin family members were all looking at him, the village head slowly recounted what happened yesterday.

It turned out that they were the ones who saw the Lin family harvesting potatoes in the fields, and heard Lin's father say that this thing can actually be eaten. It can not only be used as food but also as a cooking dish. The most important thing is that the yield per mu is three to four hundred kilograms.

As soon as they returned to the village, they went straight to the village head's house and told him what had happened. They also said that they wanted to grow potatoes like the Lin family next year.
