Chapter 126 Distribute potatoes to villagers
"These are called potatoes. My father found them on a ship and they were discarded by the people. I planted them out of curiosity..."
"After growing them, my family discovered that these potatoes are actually edible, and they are just as filling as the grains we eat, such as brown rice."
Having said that, Zhou Lingling looked at everyone present with a slightly cold gaze, especially the familiar figures in the crowd.
"I know that everyone has been very interested in the few acres of land at the foot of the mountain behind our house recently."
In such a big village, the others, under the advice of the old patriarch and Uncle Yong, and seeing Uncle Han and others living there, suppressed their curiosity even though they were curious.
Only her eldest uncle and third uncle couldn't hold back and went to their fields to steal things in the middle of the night.
However, Han You did not indulge them. After the visit, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San had to lie in bed for more than half a month. Unfortunately, they were the ones who committed the crime first, so the matter could not be made public.
"Today I can tell you that what's planted there are potatoes. The more than ten cartloads of potatoes here all come from those three acres of land."
After Zhou Lingling finished speaking, everyone present immediately started talking.
"More than a dozen cartloads of grain, that must be nearly a thousand kilograms. Zhou Er's family has three acres of land with no fertile soil. How can they grow so much grain?"
"I saw it with my own eyes when I passed by. When nothing grew in our fields, Zhou Er's fields were lush and green!"
"Those potatoes? We've never seen them before. Are they really edible?"
"Didn't Ling girl say this? This is food from outside. They've already eaten it..."
"So what if it's food? Ling hasn't even explained what she's doing with all these carts of food! It can't be that she's just trying to tempt us!"
As everyone was talking, a thought vaguely emerged in their minds, but it was a little hard to believe.
Gradually, the voices in the crowd became quieter. They looked at the little girl standing next to the old patriarch, waiting for something.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Zhou Lingling continued:
"Although we no longer live in the village, I'm sure you all know why we left. But no matter how far we go, we are all surnamed Zhou and are members of the Zhou clan."
"In these difficult times, my father knows that many of our tribesmen are struggling to make ends meet. He also sees a large influx of refugees into the town. He's been unable to sleep and wants to do something to help everyone, but his abilities are limited."
"Fortunately, our playful behavior led us to discover drought-resistant crops like potatoes. Today, I brought all the potatoes produced in our fields."
"Each family will receive 200 kilograms of potatoes. Those struggling can use some to fill their stomachs, and I hope everyone will plant the rest. The potato growing season is only two months. Look at what we've harvested, and you'll know what you can expect in two months."
"Everyone, rest assured. Whether it's for eating or sowing, we've personally tested it at home. I'll also have someone teach you how to breed and sow..."
As soon as Zhou Lingling finished speaking, the villagers below suddenly exploded.
"What? Did I hear correctly? Zhou Er's girl said she wanted to share these potatoes with us?"
"Yeah, I heard that too. They said these potatoes will be ready in two months!"
"Oh my god, what kind of magical food is this? It grows so much and so fast!"
"What the hell is a potato?"
Zhou Lingling did what she said and was about to let Uncle Tie and the others start dividing the potatoes.
She has to rush to the next one!
As soon as the sack was opened, round, fist-sized objects rolled all over the floor.
"This is potato..." a villager exclaimed!
At this moment, the old patriarch who had just retreated to the back stood up again.
"Wait!"
Everyone suppressed their excitement and looked at the old man in front of them in confusion.
The old patriarch also had a serious face and glanced at the tribesmen, causing the joy in everyone's hearts to freeze for a moment.
Sure enough, the old man is quite intimidating.
Under everyone's gaze, the old patriarch slowly spoke:
"Do you have anything to say about what Ling girl said just now?"
The villagers looked at each other.
What do they want to say?
"Clan leader, Ling girl has devoted herself to our village, and we are naturally grateful to her."
"Yes, Chief! From now on, Ling girl is my own daughter! Anyone who dares to bully her will have to walk over my dead body!"
"This is life-saving food! Ling is kind enough to give it to us, and we should remember this..."
Most villagers are grateful and very sensible.
But there are a few who don't fit in.
For example, Zhou Laosan.
He took advantage of hiding in the crowd and said in a sarcastic voice:
"If you had known this was food, why didn't you take it out earlier so that everyone could grow it together? Now you're trying to be nice!"
"If you had taken it out earlier, would we have gone hungry? Who would be responsible if people died of starvation?"
Zhou Laosan was full of resentment.
I had already discovered the secret of the second brother's family's few acres of land and wanted to go and check it out at night, but I was beaten half to death by those people.
It must be this evil-hearted little girl who ordered it!
After he finished shouting, he thought he would get the approval of the villagers, but there was complete silence all around.
Zhou Laosan was stunned. Meeting the strange looks from the people around him, he felt both fear and anger.
He yelled, "What? What did I say wrong?"
"Laiwang, if your family had food, your mother wouldn't starve herself to death, right?"
Zhou Laosan stared at a middle-aged man and said sarcastically.
Zhou Laiwang, who is forty-five years old, has an elderly mother who is almost seventy years old, a wife, three sons and a daughter.
Originally, Zhou Laiwang's family was harmonious, with many children and filial piety to the elderly. Who would have thought that they would encounter a disaster.
The old lady felt sorry for her grandson not having enough to eat, so she chose to secretly hide the food and starve herself to death.
This is an eternal pain in Zhou Laiwang's heart.
Because he is incompetent and cannot support his mother, wife and children, his mother chose this way to help him reduce the burden.
Zhou Laosan just keeps bringing up things that are not related to the topic, and he always stabs people in the heart with a knife.
So when Zhou Laiwang rushed forward and punched Zhou Laosan hard, the people around him all made way.
In fact, this kind of thing happened to more than just Zhou Laiwang's family in Zhoujia Village.
Zhou Laosan's bad words seemed to be directed at Zhou Laiwang, but in fact they hurt everyone's hearts.
He deserved the beating.
Zhou Laosan howled like a ghost: "Zhou Laiwang! In front of our ancestors, you actually beat up your own people..."
"Old Patriarch, you have to make the decision for me! He dared to hit me in front of so many people. Is there any law left?"
Wangfa?
The old patriarch, who was called by Zhou Laosan for a long time, came over with a cane.
"Zhou Laosan, I told you half a year ago that if your family dares to act like a demon again, I will expel you from Zhou Village. Do you remember?"
