Chapter 28 High-Yield Sweet Potatoes

These past few days, Su Nuannuan has been staying at home planting the wild ginseng seeds she obtained that day.

There were only ten acres of land in the space, and Su Nuannuan planned to use one acre specifically for cultivating rare medicinal herbs. Su Nuannuan counted them; there were a total of twenty-six wild ginseng seeds.

Although it's unknown how long it takes for wild ginseng to mature in the space, it will certainly take longer than that of ordinary crops.

Su Nuannuan had no experience in cultivating wild ginseng, but she felt that with the conditions of the space, there was no way she could kill it. Therefore, she confidently and boldly proceeded according to her own ideas.

She first soaked the seeds in the spiritual spring water, then loosened the soil, sowed the seeds, and finally watered them with the spiritual spring water.

The process was extremely simple, which made Su Nuannuan feel a little guilty.

However, she was soon drawn to something else.

These past few days, a large bundle of fresh herbs has been placed by their door every morning. Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting see it every time they open the door.

When they first saw it, they both thought it was a prank by the village children who had thrown weeds in front of their house, so they didn't pay any attention to it.

After several attempts, the two realized that someone had deliberately placed it there.

After examining it, Su Nuannuan realized it was a bundle of Chinese medicinal herbs. The roots, stems, and leaves of the herbs were well-preserved and looked very healthy, as if they had just been dug up. If transplanted into her space, they could still survive.

Thinking back to the time she had asked the two Liu sisters to help her dig for medicinal herbs, Su Nuannuan felt that it must have been the three Liu sisters who did it.

After thinking it through, Su Nuannuan told Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting about it.

Both of them remarked that the three Liu sisters were grateful and good children.

The medicinal herbs they brought were taken by Su Nuannuan. Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting thought Su Nuannuan was just fooling around, but in fact she had planted these herbs in her spatial dimension.

In addition to reserving one acre of land specifically for growing rare medicinal herbs, Su Nuannuan also cultivated two acres of land for growing these common medicinal herbs.

The medicinal herbs grown in the space will definitely have better medicinal properties, and the potions made in the future will also be the most effective. Perhaps it can even bring her a large income in the future.

After taking care of the space and land, Su Nuannuan did not forget her family.

She would drip a drop of the sacred spring water into the water tank at home every day.

The Su family members visibly improved their complexion after drinking water containing spiritual spring water for a long time.

The three Su brothers, who were originally very thin, have started to gain weight in their cheeks.

If Chen Xiuting didn't know her family's situation, she would have thought that her family ate meat at every meal.

However, although the Su family didn't eat meat at every meal, they never ran out of food. This was all thanks to Su Nuannuan.

Every time Chen Xiuting took out grain to cook, Su Nuannuan would take some grain from her spatial storage and mix it into the grain at home.

Therefore, the family has never run out of food.

Although Chen Xiuting was curious about how the family's food had lasted for so long, she didn't pay much attention to it.

Instead, they thought it was because she had been too frugal in the past few days, which caused her to eat food for longer than before.

Just when Su Nuannuan was getting moldy from staying at home, the sweet potatoes on the back hill ripened and were ready to be dug up.

After all, it is a grain cultivated with spiritual spring water, so it will naturally mature earlier than ordinary sweet potatoes.

Speaking of these sweet potatoes, the commune knew there was a sweet potato field on the hill behind Hongqi Village when the police arrested Sun Dahua. They were supposed to be taken to the commune.

However, there weren't enough sweet potatoes. Giving them to someone or not would offend people. Fortunately, since there weren't many, the sweet potatoes stayed in Hongqi Village.

Su Jianjun was the happiest.

They originally thought that after Sun Dahua was arrested, the sweet potatoes would be taken away by the authorities. But it turned out that the authorities didn't care about such a small amount of grain, so it was a bargain for them.

Besides, the sweet potato field on the back hill is closest to their village; it might even have been planted by people from their village. It's better to let them benefit than outsiders.

Su Jianjun was not the only one who shared the same idea.

There was only half an acre of sweet potatoes on the back hill, but when it was time to dig them up, the whole village came.

Su Nuannuan was no exception. Although the villagers had discovered the sweet potato field beforehand, she never gave up on the idea of ​​moving the sweet potatoes out of her spatial dimension.

Therefore, her main purpose in coming here this time was to mix the sweet potatoes in the space with the sweet potatoes in the back mountain.

When everyone arrived, they saw a vast expanse of lush, green sweet potato vines intertwined and spread out over a large area.

The villagers were delighted to see such vibrant colors, which they hadn't seen in a long time.

Every part of a sweet potato is edible, even the stems and leaves above ground. Although these things used to be used to feed pigs and sheep, nowadays they can be considered food as long as they don't kill people.

So these sweet potato stems and leaves were not wasted. The village women all pitched in, picking the sweet potato leaves off the vines one by one and bundling them neatly together.

These can all be used for stir-frying and cooking rice, so they are very careful when preparing them.

They didn't waste the broken pieces; they just stuffed them into their mouths, chewed them a couple of times, and swallowed them.

Aunt Niu ate the most. Whether she did it on purpose or not, she ate all the sweet potato stalks she picked.

Su Jianjun's temples throbbed as he looked at it.

Soon, the half-acre of sweet potato vines was cleared away, revealing the soil beneath which the sweet potatoes were buried.

At this time, the men in the village would carry hoes and go forward to start digging the ground.

With a single stroke of the hoe, one by one, the purplish-red fruits were dug out. They were about the size of an adult's foot and could be considered the best of the best sweet potatoes.

Su Jianjun was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected this plot of land to yield so many sweet potatoes.

"Keep going, don't stop. Be careful not to damage the sweet potatoes."

Su Jianjun gave everyone some instructions.

The villagers were all very enthusiastic about their work, since the sweet potatoes belonged to them and they didn't have to hand them over, so of course they put their hearts into it.

Soon, all the sweet potatoes in the field were turned over.

A large, deep purple-red patch, estimated to weigh five thousand pounds, delighted everyone.

It should be noted that the current yield of sweet potatoes is only about 2,000 jin per mu.

The sweet potatoes grown on this half-acre plot on the mountain definitely exceeded two thousand catties.

Su Nuannuan, hiding in the crowd, smiled mysteriously.

With modern high-quality sweet potato varieties and the blessing of unprecedented spiritual spring water, it would be strange if so many sweet potatoes couldn't be grown.

The villagers were very happy. With these sweet potatoes, each household would receive more grain, and the autumn harvest was just around the corner.

Including the grain distributed after the autumn harvest, we should have no problem getting through the end of this year.

Su Jianjun began organizing the villagers to transport the sweet potatoes down the mountain.

He decided to weigh the sweet potatoes and distribute them on the spot to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

Su Nuannuan, the only college student in the village, was assigned to watch over the sweet potatoes.

This was exactly what she wanted.

She was just worried about not finding an opportunity to release the sweet potatoes from her spatial storage. And now, the opportunity has come knocking on her door.

While guarding the sweet potatoes, Su Nuannuan began to secretly mix piles of sweet potatoes from her spatial storage into the storage space when no one was looking.

She kept controlling the amount, and stopped when she released exactly 2,000 jin.

Down the mountain, after Su Jianjun finished weighing the sweet potatoes, he was completely stunned and stood there in shock.

It weighs a whopping 7,000 jin!

The way he looked at the sweet potato was different now.
