It doesn't discriminate based on land type; even in this mountainous region, it's possible to grow crops.

It is said that in good fields, potatoes can yield over a thousand catties per mu, while sweet potatoes can yield two to three thousand catties per mu.

Su Yu had always known that people in Chijia'ao were saying they could plant high-yield crops earlier than people in the county town.

However, the exact production volume is unknown.

Hearing the weight in kilograms, I couldn't help but gasp.

"Two, two or three thousand catties?"

"Yes, it's said to be a conservative estimate."

If the land is better and the care is more meticulous, it might cost three or four thousand.

Daughter-in-law, you should know how expensive food is during years of famine.

Our Xiechi'ao village has over 600 people, and we haven't had much food on our way here.

At that time, what they sell in the mountains and at the Chiyu family's general store will be far from enough.

Nobody knows when it will end.

Only when food is in your own hands can you feel at ease.

I thought I'd take this opportunity to ask Chi Yu if he could sell us some.

Even if it costs 100 coins per pound, I'll accept it.

He thought that even if he planted one jin (500g) of the seeds, he would definitely get more than one jin (500g) in the end.

In years of famine and food shortages, one hundred coins could not buy even a pound of grain.

Having fled famine once, he only wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to move again!

Born into a landlord family, he was well-off from a young age.

Before escaping, he took all the valuables and valuables from his home with him.

He wouldn't care about a hundred coins, or even a few taels or tens of taels.

Moreover, his wife's dowry was also quite generous.

The Su family was one of the wealthiest families in their Mingyang County.

Back then, his wife had over three thousand taels of silver just from the bottom of her trunk.

Not to mention the profits generated from the estate and shops that came with the dowry.

After the Su family was wiped out, they fled and, with great boldness, secretly returned to the Su family home and took some easily portable silver notes.

They've simply gotten used to keeping their wealth hidden.

So the villagers may know that they have some money, but they don't know exactly how much.

Upon hearing that he was going to buy grain, and judging from his tone, it seemed he was going to Old Chi's house, Su Yu quickly said:

"Wait for me a moment. I'll go back and tell An'an, and then we'll go down the mountain together."

If An'an hadn't started her period today, Su Yu wouldn't have been in such a hurry to go down the mountain so late at night.

She had gone to the grocery store during the day when she discovered it.

However, since Chi Yu was not there, the shop was being looked after by Zhong's daughter, who was Chi Kang's wife, and she returned.

At this hour, she thought, Chi Yu should be back.

She planned to ask if there was any better quality cotton fabric, and then ask if there was any new cotton from last year.

She wanted to make some clean and hygienic menstrual belts for An'an, instead of using wood ash.

Her An'an is Qingqing's only child.

Within the limits of our ability, we should give her the best of everything, so how could we possibly wrong her?

Because it was a matter concerning his daughter, Song Chongjin didn't know why his wife wanted to come down the mountain with him at this hour.

When they arrived at Old Chi's house with the key given to them by the people of Chijia'ao, they found it bustling with activity as they passed through the north gate of the wooden wall.

The two did not rush in, but stood outside the door and called out:

"Young lady of the Chi family, are you there?"

Chi Yu and the others were eating. Also present were the nieces-in-law and nephews of the other three branches of the family.
