Gu Hong was slightly stunned. He had rushed forward countless times, risking his life, because he believed that God would not leave a dead end, and that everything had a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps because what Shen Ningsi said was exactly the same as his firm belief, Gu Hong didn’t say anything more, and directly raised his hand and said: “Dig!”
The Gu family army was well-trained and used their knives as iron bars, working quickly.
Gu Hong grabbed Shen Ningsi's wrist and said, "I called so many people here just because I don't want you to do anything. Go sit aside!"
He looked fierce and his voice was sharp. If it were a few days ago, Shen Ningsi would have tensed up when she heard this tone. After a few days of getting along, Shen Ningsi knew that the person in front of him was tough on the outside but kind on the inside.
"Master Jun, I won't do anything. I have to go see if there is anything I want."
This time Gu Hong did not stop him. He watched Shen Ningsi concentrating on searching for something in a pile of soil, with a concentration in his eyes that he himself did not even notice.
As the sky darkened, Shen Ningsi had no choice but to light a torch and continue searching.
"Master."
"Shut up!" Gu Hong lowered his voice, "No one should rush her!"
Shen Ningsi paused for a moment, and her search became even faster. Just when Shen Ningsi began to doubt whether she had made a mistake due to her poor skills, she saw someone holding a black object out of the corner of her eye.
"Don't move!"
Shen Ningsi stood up suddenly, and the numbness from squatting for too long almost made him kneel down.
Gu Hong himself didn't realize that he had been keeping his eyes on Shen Ningsi. The moment the woman's body swayed, he rushed up and held Shen Ningsi's waist steadily.
"Give it to me." Gu Hong frowned and looked over.
Shen Ningsi didn't notice Gu Hong's actions. She took the thing that was less than half a palm and touched it, "Found it!"
Ingredients that will be extremely common in the future appear here, which is enough to change the current famine phenomenon and save the lives of tens of millions of people!
"Go back!" Shen Ningsi couldn't suppress her joy and jumped up to pat Gu Hong's shoulder.
"There's hope! I can give Master Fan a satisfactory result in just one month, not two months!"
Although he didn't know what Shen Ningsi was holding in his hand, Gu Hong directly ordered everyone to evacuate.
Late that night, people in Wanning Village could hear the sound of hurried horse hooves passing by, and from the direction of Gu's house, clanging sounds could be heard from time to time.
No one complained, they even felt happy listening to the noise.
In just a few days, Shen Ningsi has shown them countless miracles. Shen Ningsi is now taking action, and who knows what surprise he will create for them!
The news soon reached Fan Xing, and he came to visit early the next morning.
I saw that there was now a huge jar in the originally empty yard, and Shen Ningsi was staring at it with burning eyes.
Fan Xing didn't dare to disturb him, so he tiptoed over and followed Shen Ningsi's gaze to look at the jar.
"Master Fan, do you know what this is?"
"have no idea."
"Do you know what this tastes like?"
"have no idea."
“Do you know how much this yields?”
“…”
Fan Xing hesitated for a moment, "Mrs. Gu, please don't keep me in suspense."
His heart began to beat wildly. You know, Shen Ningsi would be calm even when seeing heavy rain, but now her eyes were vague and uncertain. It was obvious that the things in the black jar surprised her!
Fan Xing didn't dare to think about it!
"Let Master Fan try!"
Gu Hong just walked out of the kitchen, and his face instantly darkened when he heard this.
"Gu family!"
"My people found the stuff, I chopped the firewood myself, and boiled the water myself. So you threw the potatoes in there, and you kept refusing. Now Fan Xing hasn't even said a few words, and you're going to give it to him?!"
Hearing the shock and anger in Gu Hong's words, Fan Xing's hand, which he had been expecting to reach out, suddenly froze.
He glanced at Ana Shen and suddenly felt confident.
"General, you are so petty. As a fellow court official, you are wholeheartedly concerned about the people. I also want to see if this thing is edible. Why are you still not happy?"
"Fan Xing!" Gu Hong placed the porcelain bowl in his hand steadily on the stone table.
He pinched the joint, and the crackling sound froze Fan Xing's provocative smile on his face.
"Did I give you face?"
“…”
Shen Ningsi felt helpless when he saw Fan Xing, who had rarely shown any strength, retract his neck.
It seems that this military lord is just as arrogant in the capital!
Just as Shen Ningsi was lost in thought, Gu Hong looked over coldly, "And you, are you so generous to others?"
Shen Ningsi also felt that he had tormented him a little too much, and coughed lightly and said: "I just want to show off my achievements in front of Lord Fan. I don't need to show off in front of the military master."
These words instantly calmed Gu Hong's anger. There was never any need to show off in front of his own people. Shen Ningsi treated him as his own.
Not noticing Gu Hong's raised mouth corners, Shen Ningsi said to Fan Xing: "Master Fan also saw it. It's not that I don't want you to try the taste, it's just that there are really not many."
She took a picture of the huge jar and said, "The potato in Junye's bowl is the last one. The others have been planted."
Fan Xing didn't mind either. He had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. He was more concerned about the output.
"As long as we can eat it, that's all that matters. This...potatoes, how many can be grown per acre?"
Shen Ning thought for a moment, "Fifty loads."
The potato yield of one acre of land is about 4,000 kilograms. In order to avoid various uncontrollable factors, Shen Ningsi decided to say less about the yield.
"Not bad, just a little bit...what?!"
Fan Xing was nodding slightly when he suddenly realized what Shen Ningsi had just said, “Fifty dan? Am I crazy?”
Ana Shen blinked, “Master Fan must be asking me if I’m crazy, right?”
“…”
Gu Hong glanced at Fan Xing, frowned, broke off a small piece of potato and stuffed it into Fan Xing's mouth.
"That's enough. When would Gu tell a lie? Eating these is no worse than the delicacies you eat in the capital, right?"
It is soft and has a slightly sweet taste, and the most important thing is that it is cooked in plain water!
Gu Hong said proudly, "This was dug out from the sand. You can imagine how easy it is to keep alive. Even the Gu family has found this kind of thing. What else do you think is impossible?"
Gu Hong is used to using his own hands to gain respect and status from others. This is the first time that Gu Hong feels proud because of other people.
Under Fan Xing's gaze, he stuffed the last bit of potato into his mouth.
"Furthermore, considering Gu's personality, the output might be even higher."
