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

Chapter 443 She can't do it.

It's fine to treat her well, but to make her work herself to the bone like a potato?

I'm sorry, she can't do it.

Yang Sanlang blinked his dark eyes, leaving Zhao Yan bewildered.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and start acting, Shen Yu will be urging you soon."

Don't look at her, there's nothing she can do.

She can conjure potatoes in a second, but she doesn't have the magic to instantly stuff them into a sack.

The men have to do the stuff of stuffing the sacks themselves.

"Oh, I'll pretend right away."

Yang Sanlang finally sighed and had no choice but to squat down and resign himself to rummaging through the sack for potatoes.

However, he worked quickly and finished filling ten sacks in no time.

A sack of potatoes weighs about 100 jin (50 kg), so ten sacks would weigh 1,000 jin (500 kg).

Seeing this, Zhao Yan quickly called for a stop.

"That's enough for now. We'll talk about it again when Shen Yu has finished using it."

A thousand catties of potatoes would probably last for two months in a small town like Stone Town.

The two quickly loaded the sacks onto the carriage.

Back in the study, Zhao Yan took Xiao Fubao from Shen Yu.

"Brother Shen, I've packed a thousand catties of potatoes for you this time. Use them for now, and we'll talk if you need more."

Shen Yu was extremely grateful.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Zhao. I'll give you the money when I get back in a couple of days."

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "There's no rush."

"Your brother Yang is already waiting at the side gate in his carriage. You should go quickly."

"it is good."

Shen Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Yan and hurriedly left.

Yang Sanlang helped Shen Yu deliver the potatoes to Stone Town, and only returned to the farm after everything was settled.

Shen Yu stayed at the restaurant in town for a few more days before returning home.

Thanks to the potatoes, the restaurants in town have been doing very well these past few days; they're practically booming.

Every day, customers flock to the restaurant because of its famous potatoes.

Although Stone Town is just a small town, it has quite a few wealthy people living there because of its proximity to the capital.

Some wealthy families would send their servants to Shen's Restaurant early every morning to wait, specifically to pack potato-related dishes to take home for the whole family to enjoy.

Shen Yu not only used potatoes in the restaurant, but he also had the chef cook sweet potatoes into dishes.

However, although sweet potatoes are a rare species for most people, they have a sweet taste and can be used in a limited number of dishes, and are not as popular as potatoes.

In just half a month, more than half of the potatoes Zhao Yanxin gave him had been used up.

Zhao Yan was genuinely surprised upon hearing this.

Oh, Mother.

At this rate, she wouldn't dare take out any potatoes, no matter how many she had.

Fortunately, the frenzy surrounding potatoes only lasted for about a month before it gradually subsided.

Zhao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Dou Xingyan and Shen Yu then settled down at the farm.

Zhao Yan had previously helped them build a house, and Dou Xingyan moved in this time.

When Shen Yu wasn't at the farm, she would stay at Zhao Yan's place for one night, and then go back to her own place when Shen Yu returned.

Of course, she and Shen Yu were not yet married, so it was impossible for them to live in the same room.

They each lived in a separate room in the east and west wings of the second courtyard, so they could look after each other at night.

……

On this day, the first snow quietly arrived.

Zhao Xiaomi woke up early in the morning and found it was snowing outside. She immediately shouted excitedly.

"Ah! Mother, Little Fu Niu, Little Fu Bao, it's snowing outside!"

As soon as Little Fu Niu heard that it was snowing, she immediately wanted to jump out of bed and go outside to see the snow.

Zhao Yan, who was dressing her, quickly pulled her back and tapped her little nose.

"Alright, don't rush. Wait until you're dressed before going out, or you'll get sick. When you're sick, you'll have to get shots and take medicine, and you won't be able to eat anything delicious. Does Little Fu Niu want to end up like that?"

The little girl, who had been fidgeting, immediately became quiet. Although she was still eager to go out and see the snow, she waited patiently for Zhao Yan to help her get dressed before jumping off the bed and running out in a flash.

"You're such a child. It's just snowing. What's so interesting about that?"

Zhao Yan muttered a few words to herself, then turned around and started dressing Xiao Fubao again.

Little Fu Bao is not even two years old yet, so he naturally doesn't understand what snow is. When he heard Zhao Xiaomi's words, he obediently waited for his mother to dress him, as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Yan pulled him from the covers to her bedside, quickly put cotton clothes on him, and then kissed him on the head.

"Little Fu Bao is such a good boy, waiting for Mommy to dress you, right?"

"what."

Little Fu Bao blinked her two bright, peach-blossom eyes and opened her little mouth to respond.

Zhao Yan couldn't resist pinching her adorable youngest son's face again and again until his cheeks turned red. Only then did she feel embarrassed and let go.

It feels so good to pinch a child's flesh, unlike someone whose flesh is so hard and uncomfortable.

Zhao Yan dressed Xiao Fubao in clothes and shoes, and put him on the ground.

Hearing Zhao Xiaomi and Xiao Fu Niu's exclamations of "Wow!" in the yard, Xiao Fu Bao took a few steps and went outside.

Zhao Yan sighed and hurriedly followed.

Kids are so easily flattered.

The snow started falling in the latter half of the night; it wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either.

By midnight, the ground in the yard was covered with snow.

Zhao Xiaomi and Xiao Fu Niu ran here and there, laughing and joking in the yard as the snowflakes fell.

Yang Sanlang finished making breakfast and came over to call for people. Seeing the two girls acting so wildly, he quickly went over and pulled them back to the corridor, gently patting the snowflakes off their heads and bodies.

Zhao Yan followed Xiao Fubao over and said helplessly to the two of them, "Alright, you two are crazy, you can't go out anymore, you know? It's so cold, you'll catch a cold and that won't look good. Hurry up, everyone come with me to brush your teeth and wash your faces, we'll have breakfast soon."

Zhao Xiaomi remembered the bitter medicine her mother had given her when she caught a cold last time, and her excited mood gradually calmed down. She obediently replied, "Okay."

Seeing that her older sister had behaved herself, and since she was several years younger than her, Little Fu Niu naturally didn't dare to play in the snow anymore. Instead, she followed everyone to brush her teeth and wash her face.

While eating breakfast, Zhao Yan suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

Her eyes sharpened, and she quickly looked at Yang Sanlang beside her.

"Sanlang, did you hear that?"

"You all go back inside first, I'll go out and take a look."

Yang Sanlang narrowed his dark eyes slightly, gave Zhao Yan some instructions, and then hurriedly got up and left.

As soon as he left, Zhao Yan quickly led the children towards the bedroom.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Yang Sanlang hurriedly turning back.

Even from a distance, he couldn't wait to say, "Yan'er, Brother Dou is here."

"Who did you say is coming?"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Yan asked in surprise through the door.

Dou Qingran has arrived?

Why would he come to the farm at this time?
