I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

If it is true as Mr. Lin said, then these potatoes are really great. If I plant them at home, we will never lack food.

As Lin Wenshan just said, potatoes can be steamed or boiled, and can be used as both vegetables and food. They are very filling and are no worse than sweet potatoes. And most importantly, they have a high yield.

There's no need to ask him whether he's willing to plant this. He definitely has to plant it. Even if there's not much land at home, he has to allocate some to plant potatoes.

He had no doubt about what Father Lin said. The Lin family had helped them a lot, and when the mushrooms in the mountains grew, they would even teach them how to pick them.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it, but..."

I just heard Lin's father say that there are also about ten households in Qingxi Village who want to plant potatoes together next year. I don't know if the potato seeds left by the Lin family are enough.

If this is left for more than ten households, it will be a considerable amount.

"Do you have enough potatoes at home? If not, don't force yourself. We can plant more seeds next year after you harvest your crops."

Although Old Man Xie felt a little reluctant, he didn't want the Lin family to be embarrassed just to help them. After all, the matter of giving money to those ten or so families had been agreed upon long ago.

It didn't matter if they waited a while, as Old Man Xie was only thinking about the Lin family.

"Dad, I know what's going on. Don't worry. When spring comes, I'll send you some potato seeds. You can just keep a piece of land."

Father Lin patted his chest and assured with a smile.

The family took some of the potatoes that were harvested earlier to try, and also gave some to Manager Zhou and the Xue family in town. The rest were kept, enough for the Xie family to plant some.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xie family laughed. This was really great. When spring came, they would plant potatoes at home. Then they would not have to worry about food shortages, and everyone in the family would be able to eat their fill.

Old man Xie laughed heartily, thinking secretly in his heart, Lin Wenshan just said that potatoes are best grown in sandy soil, and the Lin family also bought a lot of sandy land last year.

He also had an idea. Although he knew that sandy land was not expensive, his family really couldn't afford the extra money now. He just wanted to wait until he could pick mushrooms and sell them for some money, and then he would buy some too.

He has to act quickly while no one knows the purpose of this sand. Otherwise, when everyone knows about it in the future, all the sand near Xiejia Village will be sold out.

Old man Xie shook his head and chuckled. He was really thinking too far ahead. There was no extra money at home now. It was really too early to think about this. It would be better to wait and see.

The Lin family stayed at the Lin family for most of the day, and only returned to Qingxi Village reluctantly in the evening.

It was cold at that time, and if they went back too late, it would be difficult to get on the road. No matter how reluctant Old Man Xie and Old Lady Xie were, they had to urge Mother Lin to set off again and again.

"Well, we'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. Come back often when the weather warms up."

Old man Xie comforted old lady Xie dryly, and father Lin also said: "Now that the family has bought an ox cart, it will be convenient to come back in the future. Don't worry, Dad and Mom."

After a pause, Father Lin continued, "I'll send you some potato seeds in the spring."

After saying that, he waved the whip in his hand and hurried back. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that it would really get dark.

Everyone in the Xie family nodded and stood in front of their own courtyard gate, watching the ox cart go away. They only turned around and went back to the house after it disappeared from sight.

Lin Yunchu sat on the ox cart, watching the Xie family getting farther and farther away, and the sound of the wind whistling past her ears, mixed with a chill, made her involuntarily shrink her neck.

During the entire New Year holiday, Lin Yunchu turned a deaf ear to the outside world and stayed in his room, either thinking about potatoes or coming up with new dishes. He planned to come up with some new dishes after winter was over and Yipintang’s hot pot was no longer available.

Before we knew it, the New Year has come to an end, the weather has gradually cleared up, and the cold wind blowing outside has become a little less chilly.

Lin Wenshan, along with Lin Changting and Lin Changshun, have already started to prepare the fields, waiting for the arrival of spring to start planting crops.

It was naturally much more convenient for the Lin family to have cows, and the Lin Qingshan family and the Lu and Pan families, who were on good terms with the Lin family, also took turns using the Lin family's cows to plow the fields.

When the villagers saw this, they also came up with the idea and went to Lin's father and mother to ask if they could borrow the Lin family's cow.

Lin's father and mother were honest people and really didn't know how to refuse. Moreover, even if they agreed, they only had one cow and couldn't take care of so many families.

Lin Yunchu frowned slightly, looking at the people who were gathered in his yard and refused to leave. Many of them were whispering and chattering about how stingy the Lin family was.

Lin Changan's face turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't know what to do. Looking at his parents who were trying to explain themselves, he ran into the kitchen and found Lin Yunchu who was cooking to think of a solution.

"Sister, look at those people, they don't want to leave at all. They're blocking our yard, and Dad and my older brothers can't go out to the fields."

These people are really scoundrels. No matter how much they have, they only have one cow. How can they divide it among so many people? They all set their sights on their Lin family.

Lin Yunchu looked up at the yard outside the window, and saw that his yard was full of people. It was obvious that these people wanted to take advantage of the crowds to come over and see if there was anyone who could take advantage of them.

The Lin family is now living a better life, and there are many people in the village who are jealous of them. The Lin family bought a cow, and if they could borrow it to plow their fields, it would save a lot of effort.

There are so many people here, it would be difficult for Lin's father and mother to refuse. If they say they don't want to lend so openly, the people in the village will drown them with spit.

Lin Yunchu's lips curled slightly. She knew very well what these people were planning. She saw that many honest families in the village had not come yet. They were all people who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Is it so easy to take advantage of the Lin family? They really made a wrong calculation.

Lin Yunchu leaned over and whispered a few words in Lin Changan's ear. Lin Changan's eyes widened, and the expression on his face became happy after hearing Lin Yunchu's words.

After Lin Yunchu finished speaking, he nodded at her, ran towards Lin's father and mother, and whispered to them what Lin Yunchu had just said.

Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at each other, and Mother Lin nodded at him. Father Lin then made up his mind, cleared his throat, waved to the people in the yard, and spoke loudly to everyone:

"Everyone, please be quiet. It's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but with so many people, one cow is simply too much for them."

"We also need to use the ox cart. We have to go to town tomorrow."
