The head of the village was really doing this for the benefit of Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan. The high-quality farmland was a bit expensive, but it didn't require much effort and the yield was high.

If they spend money to buy those sandy lands, both families will regret it later.

Originally, Lin Wenshan had the same idea, but since Lin Yunchu said that he wanted to buy sandy land to grow potatoes, then he had to buy sandy land.

"Uncle Fang, thank you very much, but we bought the sand land for a good purpose, so don't worry."

Lin Qingshan also nodded.

Seeing that both of them were determined to buy the wasteland, the village head naturally didn't say anything more. The Lin family could spend money and buy whatever they wanted.

Moreover, Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan are not people who are ambitious, and the village head is quite familiar with their personalities.

The Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan families have always been honest farmers. When they have free time on weekdays, they are definitely busy working in their own fields.

The harvest of this crop is the farmers' food for the whole year. I don't think the two of them would joke about this.

Lin Wenshan secretly calculated and used the 17 taels of silver he had just divided to buy the land.

We can still pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the mountains for a few days, so there will be no problem with the family's daily expenses.

Moreover, Lin Yunchu said that he would be able to receive the first month's dividends from the cooperation with Tongpin Pavilion in a few days.

Thinking of this, Father Lin was no longer so anxious. He was reluctant to spend the money he had just earned.

In the end, Lin Wenshan decided to take three acres of high-quality farmland and sixteen acres of sandy land. Although the half bag of potatoes that Lin Yunchu brought back today did not require so much sandy land.

However, Lin Yunchu said that this sandy land is also very suitable for growing sweet potatoes, and when the potato seeds are saved for next year, these sixteen acres of sandy land can all be used.

Lin Qingshan wanted less sandy land, so he only bought four acres, and asked for five acres of high-quality farmland.

Lin Yunchu said that he would save the seeds from the potatoes he planted next year, and then his family would plant potatoes together with his younger brother's family.

The four acres of sandy land I bought now are enough to grow sweet potatoes and peppers.

Seeing that the two had bought so much land, the head of the village was shocked. That was more than thirty taels of silver.

Not to mention other families in the village, even he had never seen so much silver. He didn't expect that Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan could come up with so much silver to buy land.

I'm afraid he really made a lot of money and became rich.

Lin.

Seeing Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan leave, Lin Yunchu decided to cut the half bag of potatoes he bought today into pieces so that he could plant them later.

These potatoes have been in the rice shop for more than a month. I guess the owner didn't take good care of them. Some of them have already sprouted.

This needs to be dealt with quickly. Once Lin's father and others buy the sandy land, we can start planting here immediately.

Lin Yunchu found a board, poured out all the potatoes in the bag, and carefully cut them into two or three pieces along the sprouts.

The smaller potatoes can be cut into two pieces, and the larger potatoes can be cut into three pieces.

Seeing Lin Yunchu's appearance, others also wanted to help, but were stopped by Lin Yunchu. She didn't know how to explain it.

Although her movements looked casual, she actually paid close attention to the sprout of each potato, so as not to damage them.

There weren't many potatoes, only half a bag. If they were cut badly, the loss would be huge. Lin Yunchu thought it would be safer to do it himself.

And it was only half a bag, she could cut it in a short time, and it wasn't a tiring job.

Thinking that it would be best to mix the chopped potatoes with some wood ash, he looked up at Lin's mother and asked, "Mom, do we have any extra wood ash at home?"

For a moment, Lin's mother couldn't keep up with Lin Yunchu's words. She was just talking about cutting potatoes, how did he bring up wood ash again?

After a moment of silence, he slowly came to his senses and quickly replied, "Yes, there are, but not much. I used some in the vegetable garden in the backyard a few days ago."

After hearing what Lin's mother said, Xu on the side quickly waved her hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have some over there. I saved up a lot a few days ago. I'll go back and get it."

Although stove ash is not a precious thing, it is still very useful in farmers' homes. It can be used to fertilize the fields and vegetable gardens on weekdays. Therefore, stove ash is usually saved by every household, and it is not difficult to find.

After saying this, Xu called Lin Cuizhi and hurried back to her.

Seeing this, Lin's mother turned back to the kitchen and packed out the remaining food.

When the Xu family returned, Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan had also returned.

Lin Yunchu had also finished all the work in the yard. He had cut up half a bag of potatoes and piled them into a tall mound.

Following Lin Yunchu's instructions, Xu poured half a bag of wood ash onto the chopped potatoes. Lin Yunchu carefully mixed it and coated each cut surface of the potato with a layer of wood ash, avoiding the small sprouts that had emerged.

After finishing all the work, Lin Changting fetched a basin of well water and asked Lin Yunchu to quickly wash his blackened hands.

Lin Yunchu shook off the water droplets on his hands, and then asked Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan about buying land.

Lin Wenshan said with a smile: "It's all done. I used all the 17 taels of silver to buy land. In total, our family bought three acres of high-quality farmland and sixteen acres of sandy land."

When Lin Yunchu heard this, he nodded in satisfaction. It would be fine to buy more sandy land. The remaining sandy land after planting potatoes could also be used to plant sweet potatoes. Peanuts or soybeans are also very good.

"Uncle Fang said that he would come with us to town tomorrow and go to the county government office to sign the deeds for the land we bought."

Lin Yunchu nodded. This was quite right. After the contract was signed tomorrow, they could plant all these potatoes.

"Okay, then you and uncle can go to town tomorrow. We'll take care of the mushrooms."

Now the matters of these fields are more important. We need to get these potatoes ready sooner so that we can plant them and feel more at ease.

Lin Yunchu spread the bags in the shade behind the house, and called Lin Changting and Lin Changshun to move the potatoes they had just prepared to the back of the house. They could only plant them tomorrow.

Lin Cuizhi followed Lin Yunchu with sparkling eyes.

I just think that my cousin is so amazing. How come she knows everything? None of them have ever seen something called potatoes, but Yun Chu not only recognizes it, but also knows how to grow it.

And Lin Qingshan just said that his family bought five acres of fertile farmland and four acres of sandy land.

Their family didn't have much land to begin with, let alone top-quality farmland. Now they actually bought five acres at once. You know, no one in the village has so much top-quality farmland.

She now seemed to have thought that by the time of autumn harvest next year, she wouldn't have to worry about food at home.
