"This is cabbage, this is eggplant, this is cucumber, this is pumpkin, and this is lettuce..." Zhang Xiujuan introduced the planting methods to Liu Xiaoxiao one by one, corresponding to the seeds, and also told her the growth cycle.

"How about this, grandma, give me some of each of these seeds. I'll take them back and think about what to plant first. I promise I won't waste them." Liu Xiaoxiao held up three fingers as if to swear.

"Okay," Zhang Xiujuan said as she filled her bag with seeds. "It doesn't matter if the crops don't grow well. You'll have food at home."

In this way, Liu Xiaoxiao took the seeds and hid in the space to sow them. According to Grandma Liu, she finally successfully planted the seeds in the ground and watered them with spring water.

After doing all this, Liu Xiaoxiao was exhausted.

"Tilling the soil is a physical job, and sowing seeds is a delicate job. How can I roll it up after traveling through time?"

Liu Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky in silence! After a sigh, she drank a ladle of spiritual spring water and left the space full of energy.

"Mom, where's my dad?"

"Your father and grandfather went to help in the fields."

“Then I’ll go take a look too.”

"Go, go, just don't make trouble."

Liu Xiaoxiao jumped out of the house.

"You don't look like a girl at all. I don't know who you take after." Zhu Yun said with a look of disgust and continued to wash clothes.

Liu Xiaoxiao followed the original owner's memory all the way to the Liu family's ridge, only to see Liu Yingcai directing his three sons to make the ridge deeper.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you"

"What are you doing in the fields?"

Liu Yingcai looked puzzled.

"I came to see what you are doing! And learn a little by the way! We are not planning to grow rice this year, so what else can we grow?" Liu Xiaoxiao looked like a curious baby.

"There are many things you can grow, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and wheat."

"Of course, wheat must be given enough water in the later stages, otherwise it will produce a lot of empty shells. Sweet potatoes and potatoes will not have this problem, as they are more drought-resistant." Liu Yingcai, who is also a member of the Lao Zhuang family, patiently explained to Liu Xiaoxiao.

"Wow! There is so much knowledge in this." Liu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Yingcai with admiration.

"Of course, otherwise you would think you can plant whatever you want!" Liu Yingcai is also very proud when talking about farming.

"Can we plant a few of these this time?"

"Of course we can plant crops, but the drought this year is even worse than last year. It hasn't rained properly since the beginning of the new year." Speaking of the drought, Liu Yingcai became melancholy again.

"But your suggestion is good. Even if the harvest is not good, there are still other better harvests." Liu Yingcai smiled again as he spoke. He felt that everything became clear after talking with his granddaughter.

After deciding what to plant, Liu Yingcai wanted to tease his granddaughter again and said, "If you can only plant one kind, what would Xiaoxiao want to plant the most?"

Liu Xiaoxiao thought of the potatoes in her previous life. There are many ways to cook potatoes now. She was drooling just thinking about them (wolf tooth potatoes, French fries). Moreover, potatoes have a high yield and are easy to store.

"Potatoes, the ones with soft texture when cooked are more filling." The reason why Liu Xiaoxiao knew that potatoes can help with hunger is because she loved eating them in her previous life. Once, she ate too much and ended up with indigestion.

"Well, yes, although potatoes are delicious and can help with hunger, if there's a real drought, there won't be any water to wash and cook them. Sweet potatoes are different; they can be eaten right after peeling them." Liu Xiaoxiao thought, "That's right! And the sweet potatoes here are the same as modern sweet potatoes! Roasted sweet potatoes are much more delicious than roasted potatoes." And so, this year's main crops were decided.

Liu Yingcai announced during dinner that this year's sweet potatoes would be planted on seven acres of land, followed by potatoes on five acres, and wheat on three acres. This was because the Liu family had a large population and a lot of land, and all of it belonged to Liu Yunyi, so he didn't have to pay taxes.
