The little boy has been looking forward to the deer's reward these past few days, diligently guarding the field every day.
Today, as usual, I came to inspect the field and suddenly saw that the potato seedlings in the field had yellow leaves and their branches were drooping weakly, looking half-dead.
The little cub was terrified and immediately ran over to call for Lu Mingming.
Lu Mingming practically ran to the potato field.
Thanks to the chief's extensive propaganda, the local Blue Star people learned about the strange behavior of this group of outsiders, especially their concern for potatoes, a poisonous plant, which they found completely incomprehensible.
As soon as the incident occurred, a group of Earthlings gathered around the railings to watch the spectacle.
Aside from the Blue Star people, the backs of Orannal and Lu Yan's heads stood out conspicuously in the crowd.

These two men had never worked in the fields before. They knew what potatoes were for cooking, but they didn't know how to grow them, so they just stood there anxiously.
Oranner cleverly used his quantum computer to contact the alliance's agricultural experts to inquire about potatoes, but unfortunately, they couldn't explain things clearly in a few words, and their conversations were completely off-topic.
The Earthlings pointed and commented on the withered potato seedlings in the field:
"This has happened again! After this batch withers, a new batch will grow right away, and the potato field will be even larger. What should we do?"
"Yeah, it's too much trouble to solve. It'll just grow back no matter where you throw it!"
"Sigh, I just hope that the other vegetables won't be affected by this so-called potato and become poisonous."
"Sister Mingming, what should we do? This is all your hard work."
The little boy was more anxious than Lu Mingming. He stood there and stomped his feet, feeling utterly disappointed in these potato seedlings.
Lu Mingming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the potato field in front of him.
"Everything will be alright."

Lu Mingming stroked the soft hair on the cub's head, which was as smooth as brocade woven from the finest silk threads, causing the cub to look up at her in confusion.
"This is normal."
Lu Mingming crouched down to explain to the little cub whose eyes were red.
"Actually, we could have found someone to dig out the potatoes today. If we wait any longer, these potatoes will start to sprout."
"Really? Sister, weren't you just trying to comfort me?"
The little boy sniffled.
These past few days, he's been taking care of Little Potato, treating him like a precious treasure with a strong sense of responsibility; there's always a bit of love between them.
"Really? Why would your sister lie to you?"
Lu Mingming softened her voice and gently comforted her.
The bald man, who had been waiting for a long time, deftly took out a digging shovel and raised it high as a signal.

"Mingming, tell me where to dig, and I'll be right there!"
His trousers were rolled up, and he was wearing basic cloth shoes.
Lu Mingming smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble. I'll give you another bowl of potato and pork rib stew later."
"Seriously?! Call me more often in the future!"
The bald man grinned from ear to ear, eager to rush into the field, more excited than a badger that had found a melon.
"Okay, thank you for digging the first hole. Dig around the green seedlings and bury the potatoes in the ground."
"Lu Mingming gave the order."
Actually, it could be pulled out directly, but Lu Mingming was afraid that the bald man was too strong and might break the branch, which would waste time digging it out again.
Following Lu Mingming's command, the bald man carefully shoveled soil with a small shovel.
It was his first time transitioning from a deputy carrying guns and cannons to a laborer working in the fields. His movements were a little clumsy at first, but after two minutes he got used to it and immediately sped up to gently dig away the surrounding black soil.
A smooth, yellow sphere covered in wet mud gradually emerged, revealing half of its head. The bald man exclaimed in surprise and continued digging, being very careful with every move, afraid of damaging the potato and threatening his extra meal.
"I'll help too!"
The little boy volunteered, his chubby little hands not afraid of getting dirty, and squatted down to help the bald man.
With the two of them working together, it took about six minutes to pull out a whole potato sprout.
"Mingming, look. Isn't this a potato?"
The bald man boasted with considerable pride.
The seedling in his hand had about four or five small potatoes, each one large, plump, and round.
"Yes!"
Lu Mingming patted the dust off the potatoes with his palm.
"You can leave it on the table to dry, and then cook it for everyone in the evening. Remember not to get it wet or put it in direct sunlight, otherwise it will sprout."

Lu Mingming gave repeated instructions.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the bald man quickly and skillfully dig three holes in the potatoes.
"Mingming, have you seen enough of this? Let's make dinner tonight."
The bald man's eyes gleamed with craving.
He couldn't wait any longer!
"That's enough, I'll go get the ingredients for making potato and pork rib stew later."
Seeing Lu Mingming leading outsiders to so easily decide to try potatoes, the people of Blue Star whispered among themselves.
"Do you have any antidote at home? They're going to get into trouble later, and we'll probably need a whole vat of it!"
"Oh dear, I've tried to persuade them, but they won't listen. I've told them that eating potatoes will make them sick, but they just won't believe me! There's nothing I can do!"
"Yes, we should learn from our mistakes and wait until they suffer the consequences."
