Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the sweet potatoes were weighed, this batch of visitors was sent out and another batch came in.
When the first batch went out, they were still in great shock. Their faces were dull and confused.
After they went out, they were surrounded by the people behind them.
“How is it? Is there really a high yield of grain?!”
They nodded in a daze and muttered, “It’s true… 1,920 catties per acre…”
“What!?”
“1,920 Catties!”
The people who had not entered immediately exploded. They surrounded the people who came out and asked incredulously over and over again. The people who came out also explained over and over again.
No matter how many times they said it, they still felt like they were in a dream. This figure was really too unreal.
The second batch of visitors were brought to see the digging of potatoes. This time, the yield of the potatoes per are was more than 2,250 catties. The expressions of these visitors were even more shocked than those of the first batch Several of them had fainted, and the doctors who had been invited hurriedly went over to treat them.
The doctors were also extremely shocked. If it was not for the fact that their family’s assets were still relatively abundant, they might have fainted.
This change was too great for the poor people.
When Jian Qingqing woke up, the house was quiet. All her family members were gone. They had gone to watch the commotion.
She stretched, washed up, and casually ate some breakfast before leaving.
Today, the village was very lively. There were people everywhere. Jian Qingqing wandered to the digging site.
It was the time to dig potatoes. There was a large circle of people outside. She had no interest in squeezing in. She glanced around and saw Ming Zhiyan at the top of the hill.
She stopped in her tracks, turned a corner, and headed towards the hill. Ming Zhiyan saw her and asked, “Miss Jian, you’re here.”
Jian Qingqing replied with a ‘yes’ and handed the steamed bun in her hand to him. “Have you eaten breakfast?”
Ming Zhiyan naturally took it. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, “Not yet.”
Jian Qingqing frowned. “You guys haven’t eaten?”
Ming Zhiyan would eat the steamed bun in two or three bites, and he replied with a ‘yeah’.
“How can we not eat? Why don’t I go back and make something for you guys?”
Ming Zhiyan shook his head. He said, “No need to work hard. They aren’t that weak. It’s fine if they don’t eat for one or two meals.”
The soldiers who were happily thinking that they were going to eat were speechless.
Are you kidding me? You ate a steamed bun yourself, but you’re not letting us eat it.
Although Ming Zhiyan said so, Jian Qing Qing still wanted to run back and make some breakfast for them.
“Big Sister! 2 ‘
Jian Qing Qing turned around and found that it was Mother Jian calling her.
She smiled and replied, “Mother!”
“Where are you rushing off to?”
“Those soldiers haven’t had breakfast yet. I want to go back and make some buns.”
Mother Jian walked over and patted her head. She smiled and said, “You go and play. Mother will go back and make some.”
“You’re not going to watch anymore?
“I’ve seen enough. Did you just get up? Have fun. This kind of thing doesn’t need a child like you to do.”
Jian Qingqing thought for a moment and nodded. She said in a delicate voice,
“Then it’s been hard on you, Mother.”
“What’s there to be hard on? Just do some steamed buns. We have flour and stuffing at home. Mother will go and get a few aunties to do it together, that way, we can do it faster.”
“Okay.”
After watching Mother Jian leave, Jian Qingqing returned to Ming Zhiyan. At this time, all the potatoes had been dug up.. Village chief Jian announced loudly, “A total of 2,312 catties!”
