Chapter 43 I don’t want potatoes, I only want sweet potatoes
"What?"
"ah?"
"this"
Xu Zhichun and three or four others were stunned.
Looking at them one by one, they all looked quite uncomfortable, with their eyes flickering.
Okay, case solved! It turns out they bought all of this and steamed it. They must have known it was good the moment they tasted it, right? So, they regretted it and came back quickly.
Xu Zhichun was almost laughing with anger. What kind of thing was this? She sold them to them for seed, and now, they bought them back and steamed them.
Zeng Xiaoyan and her husband, as well as Aunt Zhuer, were so heartbroken that they wanted to curse.
Zeng Xiaoyan had a large family, so she bought 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and Aunt Zhuer also bought 15 kilograms. They were reluctant to eat them and kept them for seeds. Wow, these people were generous and bought a whole pot of steamed potatoes!
Steamed
Do you still have the nerve to come and buy it?
How dare you say two cents a pound? Does Zhichun care about their two cents? If it weren't for the villagers' willingness to help the villagers, they would have no problem selling it at twenty cents a pound.
Are you still angry about not selling? Are you still thinking of taking action?
They also wanted to take action.
Mrs. Wu Liu forced herself to smile and say, "Zhichun, I shouldn't have hit you. I really didn't mean to do that. I just lost control. Please don't blame me, okay? Just sell me some. If you can't get three pounds, two pounds will be fine."
Others quickly followed suit.
"Yeah, two pounds is fine too!"
"Two cents is not enough, but I can handle three."
"Me too, me too."
"I promise I won't steam it this time! Zhichun, please be kind!"
Xu Zhichun was very angry and still angry.
These people were so clever and self-righteous, but ended up falling flat on their faces, and she has to pay the price?
You wish.
Xu Zhichun shook his head and sighed, "There really are no more. If you really want to wait, wait three days. If the other villagers don't buy any after three days, I'll sell you three pounds each. There's no need to rush, though. These sweet potatoes can be grown using vines. You can buy vines when the time comes. I'm sure you'll be able to get some."
Where can I buy vines that are guaranteed to be home-grown?
But since Xu Zhichun had said so, and Zeng Xiaoyan and the others were there, no one dared to make a fuss anymore. Even if some people secretly complained and were dissatisfied, they were ultimately in the wrong, and Xu Zhichun was not a soft and easy-to-control person, so what else could they do?
If you really offend someone, it will not only do harm to your family.
They were all dejected and could only force a smile and say something like "Okay, you must leave some for us when the time comes" and then give up.
Xu Zhichun continued, "Although we don't have sweet potatoes anymore, we still have potatoes. Potatoes are also a good thing. The merchant said that potatoes can not only be steamed or boiled for rice, but also sliced and shredded for stir-frying. We tried them a few days ago and they are indeed very good. If you want them, they are also three pounds each, and they cost one penny per pound."
"It's just that once you plant a potato, it's a single plant, just like taro. You can't pinch off the vine and plant it again. But the yield is also very high, very high."
"well"
Everyone was still dejected and obviously had no interest in potatoes.
One person lamented: "I don't want any potatoes, I just want sweet potatoes!"
“I want sweet potatoes too!”
"This potato doesn't sound as good as a sweet potato."
"yes!"
Xu Zhichun: “.”
I am too tired to complain about my family members.
Okay, now that we've come to this, let's just leave it at that. You don't even want to try it. Don't cry when it smells really good later.
Zeng Xiaoyan and the others were also speechless.
Zeng Xiaoyan couldn't help but say, "Sister Zhichun wouldn't lie. We bought 20 kilograms of potatoes. We tried peeling two and stir-frying them earlier. They were really delicious."
Aunt Zhu'er also smiled and said, "It's really delicious. I don't think anyone would dislike potatoes."
Liang Mingliang nodded repeatedly beside him: "They are absolutely right!"
Whether it's hot and sour potato shreds, fried potato strips, or stewed chicken with potato cubes, they're all so delicious. These people really have never eaten good food and don't know anything. Alas.
After hearing what they said, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Then, give me three pounds? It's one penny a pound, right? Since you're here,
"Then I'll also take two or three pounds."
"Oh, forget it. If that's the case, I'll take some too. Zhichun, remember sister-in-law. If there are any sweet potatoes left, please leave them for me."
"Me too! I want this potato. If there are any sweet potatoes, please save some for me."
"I also."
Everyone rushed to buy three pounds of potatoes.
The implicit meaning of his words is: Look, I bought potatoes for you, so you must leave the sweet potatoes for me.
This meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Xu Zhichun was angry and wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He tried to keep a straight face and pretend to be calm to say that he understood. He also reminded them: These potatoes are really good. They have tasted them and they are really delicious. Remember to plant them and don't eat them.
Everyone was a little embarrassed and said: "Of course not! I absolutely won't eat it!"
Zeng Xiaoyan and the others helped, and they quickly weighed and paid for the potatoes. Each of them left with three pounds of potatoes in their pockets.
After this incident, the news soon spread throughout the village.
These people are so embarrassed that they definitely don't want to tell anyone about it. But the matter has become so serious that it can't be covered up.
So they became famous in the village.
The others laughed so hard that they fell over.
"Oh my god, they're all steamed? I'm surprised they had the heart to do that, hahaha!"
"I can't say it. It would hurt me if I did."
"Luckily, we bought it early. We bought four kilograms."
Those who didn't buy it were all surprised: "Is it true? Is it really that delicious?"
Those who heard it laughed and joked, "It's not that easy to find out. Why don't you just buy three pounds of it and steam it in a pot? Then you'll know after trying it. Hahahaha!"
This made the people around him burst into laughter.
The curious person who asked also laughed. It's impossible to steam it in one pot. How could anyone be so stupid? But it's okay to buy one and steam it to try.
Anyway, it’s only one cent per pound, which is not expensive.
So those who had not bought anything yet stopped hesitating and all went to Xu Zhichun's house to buy it, fearing that they would be too late to buy it.
Something that makes so many people regret it must be good.
It is impossible to steam it in one pot, but I am really curious about how delicious it must be to make those people regret it so much.
I want to cook one and try it, but I wonder if it would be a waste. What if it's really delicious? Wouldn't that mean I'd just wasted one?
Someone couldn't help but laugh and asked Xu Zhichun: "Zhichun, if we cut half of this sweet potato and boil it to taste, can we still plant the remaining half?"
Xu Zhichun: “.”
Uncle, you are such a talent!
She will get angry with anyone who says that the ancients were particularly stupid, simple and honest.
"I don't know about that either. The merchant didn't tell me. To be on the safe side, let's not do it."
"well"
The man was very disappointed and had to give up.
Everyone came to buy sweet potatoes, and Xu Zhichun took the opportunity to promote potatoes.
People are obviously not as interested in potatoes as sweet potatoes, and the purchase rate is about half and half.
After three days of bustling activity, some of the people who had come to buy for the second time came back immediately.
"Zhichun, I'm counting for you. There are seven families in our village who didn't buy sweet potatoes. Sell a few pounds of the extra ones to me. That's what we agreed on before!"
