Chapter 33 Villagers are tempted to buy potatoes
In the end, when the villagers left, they kindly carried Wang Ergou back.
Wang Ergou has become like this, I’m afraid he can’t be cured.
But he has always been idle, stealing and not doing his job. Without him making trouble in the future, life at home might be better.
After everyone left, Xiao Ying and the other two started planting potatoes.
After entering the second level of Qi Refining, Xiao Ying was able to use magic. She happened to have earth spiritual roots, so casting earth-based spells to dig holes was easy for her.
In this way, efficiency was greatly improved, and the two sisters stared in amazement.
"Mom, are you a god?"
Chen Xingyue was shocked and couldn't help asking, this is exactly the legendary magic.
Xiao Ying couldn't help laughing: "Although he is not a fairy, he knows some fairy magic."
It really is a spell!
The two sisters looked at each other and were even more surprised.
"Mom, can we learn?"
Chen Xingyue asked again, her eyes full of anticipation. If they could also learn magical spells, they wouldn't be bullied in the future.
"If you want to learn magic, you need to see if you have spiritual roots."
Xiao Ying looked at the two of them. In fact, she had thought about this a long time ago.
If you want to regain your glory in this world and establish a sect, you must train your own people.
What could be closer and more reliable than children?
It was only because my strength was low before and I was still observing a few of them that I didn't express my thoughts.
Now that she has reached the second level of Qi Refining, and has observed several people for a while, she found that they all have good personalities, so this matter can be put on the agenda.
"Then, do we have spiritual roots?"
The two sisters became worried. If they didn't have that spiritual root, would they be unable to learn magic?
"I'll help you with this matter after we get back. Let's do it in the evening, with Xinghai."
"Yeah."
Chen Xingyue suddenly exclaimed with joy, and Chen Xingyun also smiled excitedly.
Then he became worried again, what if he didn’t have spiritual roots?
However, with this thought in mind, both of them became more motivated to farm.
Around noon, one acre of land was planted, and Xiao Ying planned to leave the remaining acre empty for the time being, and maybe plant something else later.
After returning home and making lunch, Chen Xinghai just came back. He had run back and forth twice in the morning and was sweating all over, but he was very happy in his heart.
If I make two more deliveries tomorrow, I can get the balance.
The lunch was very sumptuous. Chen Xingyun cooked fish and fried potatoes.
Chen Xingyue sent a bowl of fish to Chen Afu's family. Everyone in the Chen family was very moved and asked her to thank Xiao Ying.
"I heard this morning that Wang Ergou went to steal potatoes from my second brother and his wife, but was possessed by my second brother's spirit and had his legs and arms broken."
Chen Jin told the family the news he had heard in the morning, looking somewhat angry and a little weird.
His second brother is just a weak scholar. Even if he appeared as a spirit, he probably wouldn't have such ability, right?
"Is that Wang Ergou who wanted to buy Nebula a few days ago?"
Chen Zhang frowned. She was quite disgusted with this person. She had the nerve to call her grandma that day.
"It's him." Chen Jin nodded.
"Well, that's what he deserves!" Chen Zhang cursed, and then said, "This guy just likes to steal chickens and dogs. I didn't expect that he would steal from the second son's wife."
She used to call Xiao Ying "that vicious woman", but recently seeing that Xiao Ying had become a better person, she became the second son's wife.
"Is it really the spirit of the second brother?"
Chen Afu was half-believing and half-doubting. Although they were superstitious and believed in ghosts and gods, no one had ever seen one after all.
Chen Jin's wife, Liu Lan, sneered, "What kind of magic is that? I'm afraid it was the second son's wife who did it. Didn't she break Wang Ergou's hand that day?"
When everyone heard this, they nodded. This was much more reliable than the second brother appearing in the sky.
"If she is really the second son's wife, isn't she afraid that Wang Ergou will report her to the police?"
Chen Afu frowned. Breaking both his arms and legs was too cruel.
Liu Lan said, "That's why I'm trying to evade the idea that it was the second brother who appeared."
The whole family looked at each other in bewilderment. No wonder there was no movement from Wang Ergou's side.
"Oh, Dad, I also heard that my second brother and his wife are going to sell potatoes. Our village buys them for ten cents a pound."
Chen Jin talked about this again.
Chen Afu said, "Haven't we finished eating the food she gave us last time? It's so expensive, it's not worth it to buy it."
Chen Jin knew his father had misunderstood and shook his head, saying, "I'm not eating it, I'm buying it to grow. My second brother's wife sells it for thirty cents a pound at Manxiang Garden, and they say it yields several thousand pounds per mu."
“How many thousand pounds?!”
Everyone's eyes widened and they almost dropped their chopsticks.
Chen Jin scratched his head and said, "I also heard it from the villagers. They said my second brother's wife said it herself."
"oops!"
Chen Zhang suddenly screamed and her face turned ashen.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Chen Jin and others immediately asked with concern.
Chen Zhang gritted her teeth and said angrily, "It's so valuable, and the yield per mu is so high. We ate several kilograms of it!"
Chen Afu and the others' expressions suddenly changed: "Dajin, go check how many potatoes are left. We can't eat them anymore."
"Dad, I'm going to check it out right now."
Chen Jin hurried to check on the potatoes, and when he weighed them, he found that there were only twelve pounds left.
"That means they ate seven or eight kilograms, which would fetch over two hundred coins if they were sold."
Chen Zhang beat her chest and stamped her feet. Why didn't Xiao Ying remind them when he sent the potatoes?
"Forget it, we've already eaten it. Let's not touch these anymore and save them for planting." Chen Afu made a quick decision and said, "Dajin, go buy some more from the second son's wife this afternoon. We still have half an acre of vacant land where we haven't planted anything yet, so it's a good time to try these potatoes."
Even if the yield per mu is not several thousand kilograms, they will be very satisfied with seven or eight hundred kilograms.
"I know, Dad."
…
At 3:00 p.m., the villagers went to Xiao Ying's house one after another, and the first to arrive was Chen Jin.
"Second sister-in-law, I heard you were selling potatoes? Do you have any left?"
"Brother, do you want to buy some potatoes to plant? How many pounds do you want?"
Xiao Ying was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Chen Afu's family was the most active.
Chen Jin immediately said, "We still have half an acre of vacant land at home. Dad asked me to buy some potatoes to plant. I heard the yield per acre is several thousand kilograms."
"Well, if it's grown well, it's estimated to be four to five thousand kilograms." Anyway, there must be tens of thousands of kilograms in the Immortal Palace. I haven't tried it outside yet, so I don't know.
She added, "But it also requires a lot of seeds. Planting one acre of land requires about 200 kilograms."
"so much?"
Chen Jin was a little surprised, both at the yield per mu and at the investment.
But when you think about such a high output, it is worthwhile even if you invest more.
"Dad asked me to buy thirty kilograms to try first. I still have some at home that you asked Xinghai to send last time."
Adding up more than 40 kilograms, it is probably enough to cultivate one-third of a field.
Firstly, my funds are limited, and secondly, since it is my first attempt, I dare not plant too many.
"Okay, ten cents a pound."
Xiao Ying nodded and immediately asked Chen Xinghai to weigh the potatoes. The scale was just bought yesterday.
Thirty kilograms of potatoes was a lot, so Chen Xinghai weighed them twice before he finished, and he also showed them to Chen Jin.
"No problem, this is three hundred wen."
Chen Jin happily put away the potatoes and handed a string of copper coins to Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying accepted the money and told him the planting method.
As he was speaking, the second person who came to buy potatoes also came. It was He Jin who he had asked about in the morning.
