Chapter 198 High Yield Potatoes

The manager earns hundreds of coins more than the employees. How can that not be exciting?

Besides, the manager has power in the workshop and controls the people under him.

Everyone also wants to be promoted to a manager.

The main reason is that everyone now admires the boss and wants to have more contact with the boss, so they need to be in charge.

Once you become a manager, the boss will ask you to discuss any issues in the workshop.

The person who went home for lunch at noon came back and excitedly told everyone in the workshop that the boss's husband, Mr. Su, had won the first place in the college examination and had become a scholar.

"The yamen runners came in person to deliver the good news, and my parents even snatched the wedding money, more than ten coins."

"You managed to grab so many at once? That's incredible."

"Oh, that's because there are so many people grabbing things. The boss gave out a lot of money for the wedding, and everyone grabbed some. They want to share in the good fortune, and their children and grandchildren will also have a bright future."

"It's great that you live in Liuhe Village. You're like our neighboring village. Although it's right next door, there are some things in Liuhe Village that our village doesn't know about."

"Only now that we have the boss and Mr. Su, do you think our village is good? Before, when our village's name was mentioned, some people didn't even know it. When they did, they would say it was a remote and small village."

"That was in the past. Who can catch up with your village now? Not only have our lives improved, but they've even built a second workshop. If they hire a hundred more people, it will be even more lively."

"Do you think the boss will continue to build workshops?"

"Who knows? Young Master Su passed the exam and ranked first, which shows that he is well educated. He will definitely continue to take higher exams and become an official in the capital. The boss will definitely follow him to the capital. Will the workshop still be in charge then?"

"How can we just leave such a big workshop alone? The owner is not that kind of person. Besides, there's still a long time before the exam. Let's not think too much and just get back to work."

"Yes, yes. Anyway, it's definitely good to work for the boss. At least I can save a lot of money by the end of the year."

…

Everyone was talking and eating lunch like this, and after lunch, everyone hurried back to work.

This is a habit everyone develops while working in the workshop.

Everyone wants to work hard and be worthy of the bonuses given by their employer.

…

After Shen Yueyao and the others had their meal, they started to get busy in the afternoon.

Old Madam Meng asked someone to slaughter a pig and used the pork to cook a banquet in the evening.

Shen Yueyao cut some leeks and enoki mushrooms and prepared to stir-fry them for everyone.

The villagers have never eaten leeks and enoki mushrooms. If they think they taste good, they might also consider growing these vegetables.

Shen Yueyao didn't want the villagers to buy her seeds, she mainly wanted to help the people of Liuhe Village.

If everyone grows fresh vegetables such as leeks and enoki mushrooms, which are varieties that no one has ever seen before, they can make money even if they sell these vegetables in town.

Shen Yueyao thought that everyone could exchange the grain and vegetables grown at home for these vegetable seeds.

Shen Yueyao got a big basket of leeks and enoki mushrooms.

Just stir-fry the food in a big pot and serve it in plates.

Shen Yueyao prepared leeks and enoki mushrooms, and also planted green peppers, eggplants, cabbages, cucumbers, etc. in the vegetable garden.

The following are some common dishes.

Shen Yueyao planned to use these vegetables and meat to stir-fry a big pot of food.

I'm busy this afternoon.

Shen Yueyao looked at the potatoes next to her again, not knowing whether they were ripe or not.

Logically speaking, potatoes mature quickly, and it's already late June, so they should be ripe.

Even if they are immature, some small potatoes will grow.

However, it will take another month or two before the sweet potatoes can be eaten.

Shen Yueyao thought about it, then just took the hoe and dug at the ground next to her.

After digging, a bunch of potatoes came out, and they were all very big.

Su Erya was stunned when she saw the potatoes, and how big they were. "Aunt, are these potatoes? They're so big! There are so many potatoes on this one stalk, and they're so big. It only takes up a small amount of space, and how can there be so many growing underneath?"

Su Erya opened her eyes wide with an incredible look.

Su Erya not only found it incredible, but was also excited.

Because Third Aunt had made potato dishes for them before, and they were so delicious.

Now that the potatoes are ripe, can we eat potato dishes?

The key point is that this piece of land is planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes. Just looking at this point, you can tell that there are a lot of potatoes.

With this yield, one acre of land can produce a lot of potatoes.

Normally, one acre of land can only produce two to three hundred kilograms of grain at best, and the same is true for vegetables.

Just look at the potatoes and you’ll know that the amount has increased several times.

Shen Yueyao was also happy when she saw so many big potatoes.

These are not potatoes grown in space.

If these were potatoes in space, the yield would be even higher.

Shen Yueyao thought about going back and entering the space to take a look.

Chen Yueyao and Su Erya carried baskets of vegetables onto the ox cart beside the ridge of the field, and then drove the cart home.

It was a complete success.

When Shen Yueyao walked back from the fields, she looked down and saw wheat growing not far away. She could also see the appearance of the village, with rows of houses standing side by side and the sun shining on the eaves, like the most beautiful painting, so beautiful.

A smile appeared on Shen Yueyao's face involuntarily.

This is the pastoral scenery.

The scenery is different from that in the technological age.

The pace here is really slow, and she can't help but enjoy this time.

Shen Yueyao sighed, "The wheat harvest will be here in just over a month."

Su Erya said, "The weather will be very hot then, and we will be busy harvesting wheat."

Su Erya still remembers what it was like to harvest wheat.

When the weather is hottest in August, it is easy to get heatstroke and faint while harvesting wheat in the fields in the heat.

However, the villagers all use mung beans to boil water and drink it, which makes them feel much better.

Shen Yueyao said: "It's okay, don't worry, we will hire someone to help harvest the wheat when the time comes."

The whole family is busy with the workshop now. If we really have to go to the fields to harvest wheat, we will be overwhelmed.

Fortunately, I have some money now, so I can hire someone to help with the work.

After Shen Yueyao and Su Erya returned home, they found that there were suddenly a lot more dishes in the house.

"Mom, why are there so many dishes?"

Madam Meng said, "These were all given by the villagers. I told them I didn't need them, but they threw them down and ran away, saying it was just a token of their appreciation. It wasn't much, so they asked us not to despise it."

“Some of them just passed by while I wasn’t looking.”

Old Madam Meng had fermented the dough in the morning. Now that the dough has fermented, she is preparing to make steamed buns.

There is still rice steaming in the pot.

In this way, the staple food in the evening is steamed buns and rice.

Shen Yueyao took a look and saw that there were not only vegetables but also eggs, chickens and ducks.

Shen Yueyao looked at the things in the yard and was very moved.

Su Xueyi came out of the house and said, "Yao Niang, since it's a gift from the villagers, just accept it first."

In the future, he will find a way to repay the villagers' kindness.
