The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

In the courtyard where the Ye family lived, General Ye sat under the eaves and chatted with his sons.

"Captain Dong is here today, so we don't have a chance to talk to Zhang Xiaoqi."

"There may not be a chance tomorrow." Ye Zhanyang could see how much Dong Baihu valued these grains, especially since they were harvesting corn tomorrow, so Dong Baihu would definitely not be absent tomorrow.

The next day, Captain Dong came early, still having someone drive a horse-drawn carriage.

Jiang Yan didn't understand Captain Dong's behavior. "Even if we can break all the corn today, how can we weigh it if we haven't rubbed the kernels off yet?"

Jiang Yan told Guan about her doubts. Guan sighed and said to Jiang Yan, "You can weigh the corn by the cob, with the pulp."

Jiang Yan thought about it and said, "It's not impossible to weigh the whole cob of corn."

But what Guan said next made her shed tears of sadness again.

"My boss said: The person who brought me the seeds said that in years of famine, the corn was ground into flour from the whole cob."

"Grinding the pulp with corn flour? How would you eat it?" Jiang Yan couldn't imagine it. Even now, families would occasionally buy cornmeal and mix it with white flour to make steamed buns or steamed cakes, just to enrich the taste.

The seller of the cornmeal she bought also assured her many times that the cornmeal had been husked and finely ground, and the flour was as fine as white flour and would not irritate the throat at all.

Compare the two, there is no harm without comparison.

Just as Jiang Yan was lamenting the hardships of the soldiers at the border town, her daughter tugged at her sleeve and said in a baby voice, "Mom, we can definitely grow more food next year. We won't let the uncles go hungry anymore, and they won't have to eat cornmeal with the pulp in it."

The little girl's words fell into the ears of Dong Baihu and others without missing a word. The eyes of a group of tall men were red.

Captain Dong even picked up the little girl and said, "With this little girl's kindness, our hearts are burning with joy."

General Ye nodded secretly, thinking that the child was worthy of being a descendant of their Ye family. Even though he grew up outside, he did not bring shame to the reputation of their Ye family.

Yichen didn't know yet that her short words would touch the lives of many people, including the Ye family.

Today, people were more enthusiastic about picking corn, and Dong Baihu was so moved that he went to the fields himself.

He had to go to the fields. It was so painful to see others working hard while he was the only one standing there watching stupidly.

Especially when he saw the corn cobs piled up on the ground, which were gradually growing into a small mountain, he could no longer bear it and decided to join in and pick the corn cobs himself.

As his big hands broke off the corn cobs, Dong Baihu felt his heart fill with joy. "Hahahaha" This feeling is not bad.

Zhang Xiaoqi: Everyone loves the harvest season.

As Dong Baihu went deeper into the cornfield and looked at the still green corn stalks, he had a bolder idea.

"Old Zhang, what do you think about using these corn stalks as crushed material to feed livestock?"

"Of course."

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang, it turns out I can be so smart."

"Tsk, Old Wang is just bragging about himself."

"Hahaha, uh~ what is this?"

Dong Baihu was picking corn and walking too fast, and he rushed out of the cornfield without paying attention.

Looking at the field closest to the cliff, which was planted with leaves he didn't recognize, he walked over curiously.

The closer he got, the more curious he became. He could tell from the leaves that they were two different crops.

He bent down and looked at it carefully for a long time, but still couldn't recognize what it was.

Zhang Xiaoqi didn't hear Captain Dong's voice for a long time, so he came looking for him.

Hearing the sound, Captain Dong turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xiaoqi coming. He pointed at the "vegetables" planted in the field and he would call them green vegetables for now.

Although there is a kind of leaves that are not pure green and have a red color all over the long stems, he can only call them vegetables for now.

"Lao Zhang, do you know this dish?"

"I don't know them. This is the first time I've seen them." Zhang Xiaoqi hadn't expected that Madam Jiang also grew these two vegetables. If the boss hadn't asked him today, he really wouldn't have known.

Seeing that Old Zhang didn't know either, Captain Dong became even more curious. Just then, he heard the little girl's sweet voice: "Brother Sansheng, there's a black sky seedling here. Come quickly and help me pull it down so we can eat it together."

"Okay." Then the chattering of two children was heard.

In fact, Yichen had already known that Captain Dong had discovered the sweet potatoes and potatoes she and her mother had planted.

She didn't rush over, she was just waiting for Captain Dong to call her.

As expected, curiosity made Captain Dong speak. "Chenchen, come here."

"Eh."

Seeing the little girl running towards him with her short legs, Captain Dong couldn't help but smile.

"Chenchen, did your mother grow these vegetables?"

"My mother grew it, but it's not considered a vegetable."

"what is that?"

"My mother said it was edible food."

"Can these leaves be eaten?" Dong Baihu was a little skeptical, because he had just smelled the vegetables from the south, and they smelled terrible. He even secretly tasted it, but it didn't taste good either, and he almost vomited.

Seeing that the captain had misunderstood, Yi Chen hurried to explain to him.

"Master, although the leaves of the sweet potato can be eaten, for food, we should eat the part that grows in the soil."

"The part in the soil?"

"Yeah." Yi Chen squatted next to the sweet potato vine at the edge and said, "Sweet potatoes grow in the soil."

“…” Captain Dong and Zhang Xiaoqi looked at each other and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.

Sansheng still trusts sister Chenchen the most. Whenever sister Chenchen says that there is a sweet potato growing in the soil, he will dig it out and take a look.

Brother Sansheng, who always acts faster than he thinks, immediately knelt down next to sister Chenchen and dug into the soil under the sweet potato vines with his hands.

As soon as Sansheng dug his hand, he touched something hard and immediately shouted loudly, "Wow, there really is something in the soil!"

"Really? Don't hurt your hands." Zhang Xiaoqi was still most concerned about his son's safety.

"Dad, I'll be very careful." Sansheng said, pulling out a lump of earth from the soil. "Sister Chenchen, what is this?"

“This is sweet potato.”

"Sweet potato?" Captain Dong took the lump of earth from Sansheng's hand, looked it up and down several times, and had no idea how to eat it.

"Sweet potatoes are sweet and can be eaten raw."

When Sansheng heard Chenchen say that sweet potatoes are sweet and can be eaten raw, his eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly dug into the soil again and soon dug out another bigger sweet potato.
