The couple returned home with trembling hands, each taking three potatoes. Lou Ji and Zhong Yin were very surprised to see them doing this, but they didn't ask any questions and followed them home.

At home, Zhou Sisi was painting in her room. There was no other way because the study was requisitioned by Master Chen for class.

The couple each held three potatoes and went straight into Zhou Sisi's room.

Zhou Sisi was coloring the painting when two people came in with a bang without even knocking. She was startled and her hands shook, and the colors went astray.

Zhou Sisi was so anxious that she was about to lose her temper when she saw her two unscrupulous parents, each shaking three potatoes in their hands and smiling at her.

"Ah!" Zhou Sisi's eyes widened. "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, pinch it." Zhou Dajiang said immediately.

So Zhou Sisi decisively pinched her father, but he didn't feel anything at all, so she pinched him again harder.

Zhou Dajiang cried out, "You're pinching me!"

Zhou Sisi then realized that she had pinched the wrong person, so she pinched herself again, "hiss~", it hurts so much!

That seems to be true.

Zhou Sisi also started to get excited and screamed, "Ah!"

Zhou Dajiang also shouted "Ah!"

Chen Xiuying also exclaimed "Ah" and was so happy that she didn't even notice that tears were streaming down her face.

The three of them huddled together like idiots, screaming and yelling.

Master Chen, who was teaching, was so frightened that he dropped his book and rushed over from the next room. "What's going on? What's going on?"

Lou Ji and the other four also rushed over. Although Xu Wu still had some internal injuries that had not yet healed, he was so worried when he heard their cries that he also ran over.

Ang'er, with his short legs, also ran to the middle of his aunt and sister, grabbed their hands, and then looked up and asked Zhou Dajiang, "Uncle, what's wrong with them?"

The three people finally came to their senses. They were too excited just now and called everyone over at once. It was really embarrassing.

Finally, it was Zhou Dajiang who smoothed things over, saying, "My uncle discovered that the seeds the store gave him are exactly the same as the seeds I saw in the book before.

This seed can be used as both food and vegetable. If it can grow, it will be a very high-yielding plant.

When your sister heard this, she screamed in excitement."

Ang'er is a very easy-to-please child. After Zhou Dajiang finished explaining, he heard that it was a good thing, so he stopped worrying and became happy instead.

Master Chen was a man who cared about people's livelihood. When he heard the word "high yield," he immediately asked, "How high yield?"

In modern times, the potato yield per mu can reach 2,000 to 5,000 kilograms, and in some areas it can even reach 8,000 kilograms.

In ancient times, although the yield was not that high, it should be possible to achieve a yield of several thousand kilograms per mu, right?

So Zhou Dajiang replied conservatively: "Probably up to a thousand kilograms?"

Now Master Chen was no longer calm.

A thousand jin! What a concept! In a good year, rice yields only a little over 200 jin per mu. In the south, two seasons yield only 400 to 500 jin. Wheat yields even less, only a few hundred jin. If it can reach 170 to 180 jin, it's a good year.

This is a thousand kilograms! It is twice the rice in the south and five times the wheat! If this is grown, the entire Donghua Kingdom will no longer suffer from hunger.

Master Chen happily walked back and forth. Then, he grabbed Zhou Dajiang's arm and asked, "Is the output accurate?"

In his excitement, he gripped with great force, causing Zhou Dajiang to grimace in pain. "I'm not entirely sure what the book says, but it's probably, probably, about the same, right?!"

If there are a lot more, how do we explain it? It's better to be ambiguous.

When Master Chen saw Zhou Dajiang grinning, he realized that he had used too much force. He quickly let go of his hand and walked out in a hurry. After a few steps, he came back.

"Which book are you talking about?"

Zhou Dajiang was just talking nonsense. God knows which book it was from. He could only continue to make up stories. "I saw it in the capital city. I forgot the name."

Master Chen glared at him angrily. "You can't even read a book properly. It seems you've been slacking off lately." He had originally wanted to find a book to read carefully, but this is crap. I can't even remember the title, how can I find it? It seems I'll have to give him some more lessons later.

Master Chen gave up on going out to look for books. After he finished speaking, he turned around and called to the children, "Go back to class!"

After hearing what Master Chen said, the children all came out one after another.

Zhou Dajiang, why do I feel a chill on my back?

When Lou Ji saw that the three people were not in any serious trouble, he felt relieved and then they went back to the house.

As for Zhou Dajiang's suggestion of seeds, he was also happy. The exact yield would only be known after they were planted. However, no matter what the yield was, it was a good thing after all.

Everyone left, and finally only the three of them were left.

Zhou Sisi said happily, "That's great! I can finally eat potato balls, potato pancakes, potato wedges, potato salad, potato chips, and shredded potatoes again!"

Zhou Dajiang also boasted: "I feel like the potato chips are waving at me."

Chen Xiuying also said happily: "With potatoes, there are more dishes that can be cooked. I am craving potato noodles."

Zhou Dajiang took a sip of his saliva and said, "I'm greedy too."

How could Zhou Sisi be missing at this time? She also raised her paw and said, "ME TOO."

The three of them were excited for a while before they finally calmed down. Zhou Dajiang asked his wife, "Is it okay to plant potatoes now?"

Chen Xiuying thought about it and said, "It probably won't work.

I remember my family planted potatoes in March or April. And they had to be planted after they sprouted. We planted the sprouted pieces directly into the soil. Look at this one in our hands, it hasn't sprouted yet. It has to sprout before we can plant it.

Zhou Sisi was anxious to eat the potatoes, so she asked, "When will these potatoes sprout?"

"The temperature in March and April is about ten to twenty degrees Celsius, probably around ten to twenty degrees Celsius." Chen Xiuying was not quite sure.

Zhou Dajiang thought further. He wanted to plant a large number of crops next year, so he said, "Then let's raise the temperature of the greenhouse to this level. We have to burn the stove anyway. If the crops can germinate earlier, we can harvest them earlier and plant a large number of crops next year.

If we plant it next year, we won’t be able to harvest it in large quantities until the year after, which is a full year late.”

"Let's give it a try. If it sprouts, we'll plant it." Chen Xiuying decided.

So the two began to prepare.

Chen Xiuying first wrapped the potatoes in a rag and placed them in a corner of the greenhouse, while Zhou Dajiang carefully controlled the burning time and amount of the stove to adjust the temperature in the greenhouse.

Zhou Sisi had something to do this time, so she would run to the greenhouse every day to check if the potatoes had sprouted.

This went on for five or six days. Finally, on the seventh day, when the sun shone on the roof, Zhou Sisi was surprised to find that a few small white sprouts had grown on the small potatoes.

"Oh! It's sprouted! It's sprouted!" she cheered happily.

Chen Xiuying and Zhou Dajiang were also in the greenhouse at this time. They were planting the sprouted celery in the ground.

Hearing their daughter's cheers, they put down their work and came over to check. When they saw the small white sprouts growing on the potatoes, their faces were filled with smiles.

It finally sprouted. In a few days, it can be planted in the ground.
