After lunch, the Liu family members were busy with their work in the yard.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes dug out yesterday have been spread out for ventilation. The skin is dry and there is no moisture on the surface. The mud and sand fall off naturally. I sort them and put them into a backpack and put them in my own warehouse.
Let's deal with what we dug yesterday. The potatoes and sweet potatoes we dug yesterday will be kept for our family and the Huo family.
All the items dug today were sorted and piled up in the yard, ready to be sold to the county government and villagers.
The villagers were very jealous when they saw the huge harvest of crops, because they had planted these crops together, and Liu Daling had promised to sell them the seeds.
Liu Daling also said today that after the potatoes and sweet potatoes are dug, anyone who needs potato and sweet potato seeds can come to their yard to buy them tomorrow.
Because people from the county government also need to buy it, the quantity is limited. Villagers have 1 to 3 acres of sandy fields at home. When the soybeans are about to be harvested, they can pre-plant them. After the soybeans are harvested, they can immediately plant sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Breeding is very simple, and the Liu family will teach you how to breed.
You can buy the seeds and put them in a ventilated and dry place first. It is best to hang them up to prevent rats, snakes and insects from eating them.
If the skin is damaged, breeding will not be so good, and a damaged skin will easily cause bacterial infection and cause potatoes and sweet potatoes to rot.
This is Fu'an City's first batch of high-yield crops, so everyone needs to protect them. The winter melon, pumpkin, and zucchini seeds that the villagers had taken from the Liu family have already been distributed and planted. Some have already bloomed and produced small fruits, and will be ready to eat soon.
Old Madam Wu no longer sat in the main room. She took a small stool and sat in the courtyard, packing sweet potatoes with Liu Yuhan.
The three Huo Nan siblings followed suit and helped sort the food and put it into the backpack, regardless of the dirt on their hands. Seeing that they were happy with their work, the Liu family members didn't say any more polite words.
These 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes are piled up so much that they almost fill up the entire yard.
The whole family is busy, even the youngest child is helping, because of the joy of the harvest, the family is working together and in harmony, and the atmosphere makes people feel very comfortable and peaceful.
Old Madam Wu has already told the Liu family that she will stay at their house for a few more days. She claims that her husband is a soldier and that it is natural and casual at home because there are not so many rules.
Liu Yuhan had previously privately told Old Lady Jiang, his mother, and others that Old Lady Wu was the mother of the deceased general's wife.
Old Mrs. Jiang and others naturally felt pity for them. Seeing that they liked eating their own meals and staying at their home, the Liu family naturally welcomed them.
Baizhi and Banxia had been asked to clean up the rooms. Madam Wu and Huo Xi occupied one room, Huo Nan and Huo Bei occupied another, and with the addition of Baizhi, Grandma Qin and others, the four remaining rooms were just full.
They didn't bring any servants with them, only a few guards. Huo Er, Huo Jiu and others went to stay at the home of Village Chief Lin.
It took more than half an hour to fill up the warehouse.
Pausing for a moment, Mrs. Li put the fragrant steamed sweet potatoes in a large bamboo basket for everyone to eat.
Everyone washed their hands and started eating.
"Peel the skin off the sweet potato and eat it in small bites. Don't choke. Don't eat too much at once to avoid stomach upset. Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, eat slowly."
"Hmm, (⊙o⊙) Wow, sister, this sweet potato is so sweet and delicious!"
"Sister, can I have two?"
"Okay, eat slowly."
"Yeah, it's delicious." Huo Bei also said.
Liu Yuhan saw the reserved child eating sweet potatoes, with sweet potatoes still stuck on his mouth and face. Seeing him look free and relaxed, she smiled with relief.
As for children, if they go to places where there are many children to play, they will become cheerful, in a good mood, have a better appetite, and their health will get better and better.
In fact, many diseases originate from the "heart", so you must protect your "heart" and keep it calm and peaceful at all times. Don't easily let it become anxious, depressed and sleepless.
The lunch break is over and they are going to dig up the remaining sweet potatoes in the afternoon.
Madam Wu and the others took off their complicated outer garments, put on simpler clothes, put on bamboo hats, covered half of their faces with scarves, and followed Liu Yuhan to Shatin, each holding a water bag.
Huo Bei also wore Xiao Si's small bamboo hat, and Xiao Si also had a reed hat.
When they got to the fields, the children let loose, pulling and picking, and even competing to see who could pick up the biggest one.
Even the usually reserved Huo Xi relaxed, taking long strides to follow Liu Yun and Liu Yao. The sisters had already broken the barriers between them and were now chatting freely.
After being busy for almost an hour, Liu Yuhan called Madam Wu and the group of children to rest under the thatched house built in the middle of the sand field.
He asked them to wash their hands in the big pool nearby, took off their hats to wipe their sweat, asked them to drink water, and took some snacks from his backpack for them, including fruit candies, osmanthus cakes, and dried meat.
"Wow, this jerky is so delicious. I will never get tired of it no matter how much I eat!" Huo Nan squinted his eyes in satisfaction while eating. He really loves eating jerky!
"Wait until Sister Han has time to fry a few more pots of dried meat."
"Wow, thank you Sister Han, you're so kind! I wish you were my sister, not like my brother who's always mean to me."
"Ahem, Sister Han is Sister Han. It's fine if you respect her and treat her like a sister. Your brother is being mean to you for your own good. Who told you to jump around like a monkey every day?"
"Grandma..."
"You kid, you just can't stop talking."
Everyone laughed when they saw Honan's frustrated expression.
After another half hour of hard work, as there were so many people involved, most of the work was done. The remaining finishing work was left to Dad and the others, so Liu Yuhan took them back first.
