Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

"Yeah!"

Qiu Zhen excitedly gestured with her hands from the side.

“I went to take a look and saw that there were about five or six sweet potatoes in a bunch, and each one was this big, no, it had to be this big.”

"Wow, I can't believe we actually grew sweet potatoes! Xiao Zhao, you're truly a hero of our Huaihua Village!"

That's right.

Now she consciously considers Zhao Yan and the others as part of their Huaihua Village.

The farm area is closest to their Huaihua Village, so if the government were to divide the land, it would also be allocated to their Huaihua Village.

Zhou Hu chimed in, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right. Xiao Zhao, if each one continues to grow like this, wouldn't one mu (unit of land area) yield a hundred or eight thousand jin (unit of weight)? Xiao Zhao, do you think we should... should we report this to the higher-ups?"

As the village head, he naturally had a longer-term perspective on some things than ordinary people.

If the sweet potato trial planted in their village this year can eventually yield over a thousand kilograms per mu, it will be a major event that will cause a national sensation.

This is a major event that will definitely attract the attention of that person in the capital!

He had to inform Zhao Yan in advance about such an important matter.

Zhao Yan had already considered this possibility, and calmly said to Zhou Hu, "Uncle Zhou, let's put this matter aside for now. Tell the villagers not to talk about it."

"In another half month, the sweet potatoes will be almost ripe. We'll decide whether to report to the government once we have a specific number."

The reason she was so calm was that she had also secretly dug up a sweet potato on the back mountain a few days ago.

The sweet potatoes are currently in their final swelling stage, and they need to be patient and wait a little longer.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hu and Qiu Zhen immediately nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand."

Two weeks passed quickly.

Zhao Yan not only has sweet potatoes to dig, but she also has a large piece of potatoes that have ripened and need to be dug up immediately.

There were too many things to do, so Zhao Yan called all the little kids, including Zhao Yunchen, home, stopped all their classes, and made them all go with her to dig sweet potatoes and potatoes on the back mountain.

Even Tian Xiu'e insisted on going up the mountain to take a look.

Her belly was already showing, and she would give birth in two or three months. Zhao Yan naturally didn't dare to ask her to do anything, and only told her to sit quietly and watch them work.

Tian Xiu'e smiled and said to Zhao Yan, "Okay, you put Xiao Fubao in the car, and Yuan Bo and I will watch over him."

Yuan Yutang nodded with a smile and said, "Come, come, your master and I are here. Yan'er, just go and do your thing."

"it is good."

Zhao Yan put Xiao Fubao into the stroller and went off to get busy with her hoe.

The stroller was specially bought by Yang Sanlang in town for Xiao Fubao, so that he could sit in it and play for a while.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Xiao Fubao didn't make a fuss and sat obediently in the car while Tian Xiu'e played with him.

Zhao Yan divided everyone into two groups: one group followed her to dig potatoes, while the other group followed Yang Sanlang to dig sweet potatoes.

The two plots of land were right next to each other, and both sides started digging at the same time. Zhao Yan clearly felt that potatoes were easier to dig than sweet potatoes.

Such a large area can't be dug up in a day.

So Zhao Yan and the others stopped rushing and leisurely spent several days digging everything out.

The villagers of Huaihua Village are also working enthusiastically in the fields.

The villagers who had only planted half an acre of land dug up all the sweet potatoes in just one day.

When they were weighed, they were all stunned.

"Eight hundred and fifty jin!"

"My goodness! Half an acre of sweet potatoes weighs 850 jin, so an acre of sweet potatoes would weigh almost 2,000 jin?!"

Zhou Hu's family is also busy digging sweet potatoes.

I dug and dug and dug.

I dug and dug and dug.

Their family planted three acres of sweet potatoes, and Zhou Hu felt like his hands were about to break from digging.

He was physically exhausted, but mentally he was very excited.

He heard it from the villagers who had already finished digging up the sweet potatoes.

That person's half-acre sweet potato yielded over 800 jin, while this family planted three acres. Once all the sweet potatoes are dug up, they'll have at least several thousand jin.

Ha ha ha.

This number was something he never dared to even dream of.

After several busy days, Zhou Hu's family finally dug up all the sweet potatoes.

The eldest son, Zhou Renyu, said impatiently, "Dad, let's weigh how many sweet potatoes are in one acre of land?"

Other family members were also eager to try it out.

Zhou Hu took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "Weigh it! Weigh it now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Renyu and his friends immediately got to work, methodically starting to bag and weigh the sweet potatoes.

Before long, Zhou Hu's sweet potato yield per mu was calculated.

Three mu of land yielded a total of 5588 jin of sweet potatoes, which means the yield per mu was as high as 1862 jin.

Yield of 1862 jin per mu!

This is an astronomical figure!!

Zhou Renyu and the others were completely stunned by this number!

After a long while, we heard their excited cheers.

With tears in his eyes, Zhou Hu bowed repeatedly in the direction of the farm.

"Young Zhao is so righteous!"

Oh my God!

If this sweet potato cultivation method were promoted nationwide, people wouldn't have to be afraid of any natural disasters in the future!

That afternoon, every household in Huaihua Village calculated their own sweet potato yield per mu.

The fewest were those who only cultivated half an acre of land.

Even with only half an acre of land, the harvest of sweet potatoes was seven or eight hundred catties.

Qiu Zhen's two mu of land also yielded a good harvest, a full 3620 jin of sweet potatoes, with a yield per mu comparable to Zhou Hu's.

The day after the sweet potato harvest, villagers from Huaihua Village came to the farm with baskets in their hands and knocked on Zhao Yan's door.

The two sisters, Qiu Zhen and Qiu Zhen, naturally took the lead.

Seeing their posture, Zhao Yan immediately felt a headache coming on.

"Ladies, you don't need to do this. Please take your things back. I don't need anything here."

She could tell from the contents of Qiu Zhen and the others' baskets that they had come to express their gratitude.

But she doesn't need it at all.

Qiu Zhen pulled her along, urging, "Xiao Zhao, you gave the villagers sweet potato seedlings for free, which allowed us to harvest so many sweet potatoes. It's only right that we give you something to eat. Come on, just put the things away; they're not anything valuable."

Qiu Fang then chimed in, "Yes, hurry up and pack everything up, otherwise people will feel embarrassed to accept anything from you again."

Zhao Yan thought for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Okay, just this once. You really don't need to send anything over in the future."

"It's easy to talk about."

Qiu Zhen immediately smiled and helped her carry the things into the kitchen.

Before leaving, she suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Yan, "Xiao Zhao, besides roasted sweet potatoes and sweet potato porridge, what other foods can be made from sweet potatoes?"
