Chapter 542: Everything is difficult at the beginning
By the time the group escorted the plastic film back to the village, all the villagers who had already had lunch gathered in the threshing ground.
Seeing ten ox carts pulling an unknown object, some villagers bravely asked.
Ran Qingxuan thought that since we were already this far, he might as well talk to everyone here.
Guo Baoquan and Lin Sui happened to be there, both with plaster casts on their legs, sitting on rocks to bask in the sun.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan walking towards them, he immediately stood up and greeted them.
"Please sit down, uncles. I was delayed by something just now. I am sorry to have kept you waiting so long since I came back so late."
"We went to your house to ask, and we figured we'd come back by now, so we'll just sit here and bask in the sun."
"Is everyone here?"
"Except for the Qian family, almost everyone from both sides of our clan has arrived."
Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan asked Gu Yanchen to go back and tell him, and whispered a few words to him.
After hearing this, Gu Yanchen nodded and left temporarily.
"Everyone, since my husband and I haven't had lunch yet, can we wait for our family to send food over and then talk in detail after we eat?"
The villagers looked at each other, but since the man had indeed not had lunch, there was no reason for them to stop him from eating.
"It's okay. Some villagers haven't arrived yet, so we can just wait."
After Lin Sui finished speaking, the villagers also echoed him.
The man pulling the ox cart delivering goods thought that since he had already paid, there was no harm in waiting here.
In this way, the villagers waited for about ten minutes before Gu Yanchen, the Gu family, and others finally arrived.
Gu Yanjing and his second sister-in-law worked together to carry a large basin closer, while his eldest sister-in-law brought the chili powder from home.
"Hey, what's in this basin?"
"I don't know. It has some edges and corners, but it smells strange."
The big basin was filled with cut and cooked potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Ran Qingxuan felt that just talking might not be intuitive enough, so it would be best to take this opportunity to let everyone feel it.
"Everyone has been waiting for quite some time, let's eat something together!"
After saying this, he picked up the hot potatoes in front of all the villagers, dipped them in salty chili and started eating.
Although everyone had already eaten, they were still attracted by the fragrant potatoes and sweet potatoes.
It happened that Lin Sui had no appetite at noon and only ate a little of the food prepared at home.
Seeing Gu Yanjing carrying a basin and walking towards him, he subconsciously took a piece of potato and sweet potato.
Seeing this, the people from the Lin clan thanked them and took two from the basin.
These two crops were the first time that the villagers present had seen them.
Some villagers may not be hungry, or may not be curious, so they did not take it.
Guo Baoquan wanted to ask what these things were in his hands, but the next second he heard Ran Qingxuan remind him.
"Chief Lin, Chief Guo, these potatoes and sweet potatoes are best eaten while they are hot."
"Eat it right away."
Lin Sui took a bite of the soft and glutinous potato and found it bland and tasteless, but when he took the second bite, an indescribable fragrance filled his lips and teeth.
His eyes widened at that moment.
Then he took another bite of the sweet potato, and the sweet taste made him feel even more incredible.
The same was true for the villagers who took a bite of the potatoes and sweet potatoes; they had never eaten such things before.
Soon, the villagers who were half full at home found themselves full after eating the sweet potatoes and potatoes in their hands.
Those with shallow stomachs have even started to burp...
Ran Qingxuan ate three potatoes that were the size of half a fist, and two sweet potatoes of the same size.
This thing was quite solid, so after eating it and drinking some water, she had no choice but to stand up...
"Mrs. Gu, what is this?"
"Didn't you hear Mrs. Gu just say it's called sweet potato, or potato..."
Lin then signaled his family to keep quiet and asked, "Mrs. Gu, you called us here, didn't you just want to share some potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
Ran Qingxuan smiled and waved his hand: "Of course not."
"What is that?"
"Actually, I asked the two clan leaders to call everyone together because I wanted to talk to everyone about growing these potatoes and sweet potatoes."
"Everything you plant will die in the winter, so don't waste your energy."
All the villagers in Yongfeng Village are farmers, so they naturally know what crops can be grown in what season.
I still feel a little resistant to what Ran Qingxuan said about planting these in winter.
Ran Qingxuan was naturally not afraid of these voices. After everyone finished discussing, he spoke loudly.
“It’s difficult to grow crops in winter, but I have my own ways to make them thrive.
Moreover, these sweet potatoes and potatoes are not only sweet in taste, but also have a high yield.
If you start planting now and use what you grow as seeds, you can basically sow on a large scale in March or April. ”
When they heard Ran Qingxuan say that the two kinds of food had high yields, the first to be shocked were the two clan leaders Guo and Lin.
As for what Ran Qingxuan said afterwards, they didn't listen at all.
The two families have been digging for food in the fields all their lives, and what could be more attractive to them than high crop yields.
"Mrs. Gu, you said this thing has a high yield, how high is it?"
Ran Qingxuan thought about what he had said to his family before and felt that it would be better to be conservative when telling them the production amount.
"The potato planting period is three to four months. If the harvest is good, one acre of land can yield 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms."
"And the sweet potatoes you eat are called Yanshu, and the yield per acre is about 4,000 to 6,000 kilograms."
The other members of the Gu family were puzzled by the number Ran Qingxuan said, which was different from what they had heard before. However, they did not ask any questions in front of so many people.
But after hearing that he could harvest such a large yield, Lin Sui ignored his leg injury and staggered to stand up on one leg.
"Mrs. Gu, are you serious about what you said?"
Not only him, but everyone who ate the sweet potatoes and potatoes at the scene had their faces flushed with excitement.
You know, they have used their land to grow a lot of crops, but they have never seen such a big harvest.
Guo Baoquan stammered, "This... Madam Gu, it's not that we don't believe it, but we have never heard of any crops with such a high yield."
Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan said the words he had thought of from the beginning.
"It's normal that people here don't know about it, because this thing came from across the ocean."
“Everyone knows the reason. We couldn’t buy building materials, so we went to the dock to try our luck.
We accidentally saved a foreigner's wife. We bought her from the foreigner when we were buying building materials from him. ”
The explanation had been given, but Danran Qingxuan didn't want to exaggerate the matter.
"I owed that foreigner my life, so there's no reason for him to lie to me about this."
"But we still have to wait until the plants are planted to know how much we can harvest."
The villagers present knew that the new Gu family members were not short of money, but they were different.
If they really plant it, and if the harvest is poor after three or four months, wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?
Sure enough, after hearing what Ran Qingxuan said, the two clan leaders who originally wanted to ask for seeds suddenly calmed down.
Seeing that everyone had lost interest, Ran Qingxuan was not affected at all.
"I think everyone has a rough idea of what this thing is after eating it, so I'll just tell you clearly."
