Chapter 113 Planting Sweet Potatoes
Lin Feng stood on the watchtower for a moment, then with a thought, the soil surged and a gentle slope rose up on the side of Xiao Xuan, extending all the way to the edge of the wall, where there was a 3-meter-wide stone gate entrance that could directly enter Xiao Xuan's back.
Lu Hongying looked up and saw the slope, nodded in the direction of the watchtower, and quickened her pace: "Quick, go up this way, watch your step, don't fall."
Xiao Xuan stood up steadily the moment everyone stepped onto the turtle's back.
The convoy set off.
Xiao Xuan walked at the front, at a moderate pace. By the window of the watchtower, next to the stone table, Shen Yutong held a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, pausing from time to time as if sensing something, before continuing to write.
Lin Feng watched her drawing for a while from behind. The lines were crooked and the markings were dense and blurry. He was sure he couldn't see it, so he stopped bothering her and turned to leave.
He planned to go to the back garden to see how to plant the potatoes. As he was walking, he heard hurried footsteps and a muffled thud.
"Duang..."
Lin Feng turned his head and saw Xiao Rui getting up from the ground, crying out in pain while rubbing her heaving chest.
"What's the rush?" Lin Feng reached out and helped her steady herself.
Xiao Rui seized his wrist and pressed herself against him, saying, "Master, Master, guess what I found?"
Lin Feng: "..."
Looking at her "come ask me, come ask me" expression, hearing her call me "master," and seeing her current attire, I said with a hint of annoyance.
"You're even role-playing while dressed as a maid! Tell me, what did you discover? If you keep me in suspense, I'll spank you..."
Lin Feng raised his hand as if to hit her, and Xiao Rui immediately cried out "Ah!" and covered her buttocks, taking half a step back. She muttered under her breath, "He clearly grabbed my ponytail that day and forced me to call him master, and now he's saying that about me... Humph..."
"What did you say?" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, staring at Xiao Rui with an unfriendly gaze.
"No, no!" Xiao Rui waved her hands hastily, speaking rapidly like spilling beans: "Sister Hongying asked me to look for seeds that can be planted in the back garden. I flipped through the book that was put into storage that day, and it recorded potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes!"
"sweet potato?"
Xiao Rui nodded vigorously: "Yes, there are several bags, and they are all still good, not spoiled."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. Sweet potatoes! Not only are they high-yielding, but the leaves can also be eaten. If planted around the Tree of Life, they can be harvested and cooked in just a few days, and a large harvest of sweet potatoes can be obtained in a month or two.
Now we no longer have to worry about food consumption.
"Then hurry up and plant them. Also, plant as many potatoes and yams as you can, especially sweet potatoes. Leave two extra plots of land for them."
Xiao Rui blinked: "I was just on my way to inform Sister Hongying when I bumped into you on the way."
"Come on, take me to see it!"
Lin Feng and Xiao Rui arrived at the warehouse downstairs. Xiao Rui pressed the switch on the wall, and the lights in the warehouse turned on immediately. The supplies inside were neatly arranged. When they arrived at the food area, Xiao Rui squatted down and patted a woven bag.
"This is it. I opened it and saw that it was full of sweet potatoes. They weren't very big, but they were all intact and not rotten."
She then pointed to several bags next to her, "Those are potatoes, those are yams, they're all in whole bags, they're stored very well."
Lin Feng untied the rope of a bag, glanced inside, and pressed it with his hand. It was firm, neither soft nor moldy.
"Okay, let's go to the back garden and plant sweet potatoes and potatoes first. They're easy to grow."
When Lin Feng arrived at the back garden carrying a bag in each hand, Lu Hongying was already there with seven or eight people, turning over the soil.
Upon seeing Lin Feng and Xiao Rui arrive, they quickly asked, "What are you planting?"
"Potatoes and sweet potatoes."
The two girls working for Li Xiaoli and Lu Hongying opened the bag and took out sweet potatoes that were not broken. Although their movements were slow, they seemed to know how to plant them.
"How do you plant this?" Lu Hongying asked.
"Sister Hongying, the potatoes need to be cut into chunks, each with two or three buds. For the sweet potatoes, you need to select seeds first, preferably those without broken skin. After they sprout, cut the vines off and plant them directly." Xiaoli looked up and answered.
"Okay, you guys come over here and learn from her. Do exactly what Xiaoli says."
After a period of busy work, sweet potatoes and potatoes were quickly planted, and yams were planted near the wall.
Xiao Rui buried the last piece of potato in the soil, straightened her back, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Now everything is done. We'll never lack food again. In a few days, we'll be able to eat fresh sweet potato leaves."
"Roasted sweet potato, I want to eat roasted sweet potato."
People around swallowed hard, imagining the scene: a sweet potato with a caramelized aroma, its golden flesh bursting out when broken open, sweet and hot to the touch.
Xiaoli straightened up, looked at the land that was already planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes, and patted the mud off her hands: "Alright, let's plant this much for today. When the sweet potatoes grow taller, Xiao Xuan will probably be bigger too. Then we can cut the vines and propagate them by cuttings, which will expand the planting area several times over."
After a day of migration, the convoy stopped again near dusk. This time, they stopped in a large, dense thicket of thorny bushes, which were incredibly lush. The bushes were covered with fine, sharp thorns, and some berries, about the size of grapes, hung from them, their bright red color standing out prominently.
Not long after the convoy stopped, someone noticed the berries.
How long had it been since they'd eaten fruit? Since transmigrating to this world, fruit had become a luxury. Several people in the convoy impatiently parted the strips of paper along the edge of the bushes, hooked the small fruits, picked them, and stuffed them into their mouths.
Someone nearby warned them "don't eat random things," but those people had already swallowed them. After a few minutes passed and they showed no abnormalities, the people around them suddenly asked.
"How is it?"
"It's quite sweet, and it makes me feel more energized."
"It's not poisonous, you can eat it!"
A cheer erupted from the crowd, and they rushed to the edge of the bushes, picking the berries and popping them into their mouths.
As a result, just over ten seconds later, a thin man in the crowd swayed and fell to the ground. His mouth twitched, and he uttered incoherent words. Dark lines appeared under his skin, slowly spreading from his neck to his cheeks and arms, as if something was moving under his skin.
He suddenly stood up abruptly, staggering into the depths of the bushes. "Wife... wait for me... I'm coming to find you..."
"Grab him!" someone shouted. The person next to him reached out and grabbed his arm, but he was incredibly strong and almost knocked the person who was grabbing him down. Seeing this, another person immediately grabbed his waist tightly and managed to stop him at the edge of the bushes.
The man who was stopped kept walking forward, his voice growing louder and louder, as if he were bewitched by some kind of illusion.
