Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Everyone became excited when they heard that Chief Su would distribute seeds at the start of spring. The group could also borrow seeds from Su Binn first and return what they owed after the harvest.
If someone else had said it, they might not believe it. However, everyone believed in Su Binn. Moreover, Chief Su was the most respected person in the vige who did many things for the vigers.
One of the most important things he did was give everyone rapeseeds. The vigers had nted the seeds during winter. When they went to the fields to look, they realized the seeds had grown a lot.
However, most wanted to keep the rapeseed and extract oil from them. After all, everyone had enough to eat and could let the rapeseed grow instead of eating them.
They could extract and keep the oil harvested from the seeds. When nting peanuts during spring, the vigers could use less of theirnd. That was because the rapeseed produced more oil than peanuts.
They could save a littlend to nt more wheat and other things.
‘Miss Su had good crops, and Chief Su will distribute seeds to everyone. When the timees, we can use our extrand to grow these seeds.’
Everyone felt relieved with those thoughts in mind. Although thend had not changed much, everyone felt they could grow more crops. Moreover, they could produce more oil than ever.
One of them told Su Binn, “My family has a few acres ofnd, so I’ll buy the potato and sweet potato seeds you mentioned.”
Another echoed, ‘Yes, I’ll buy them too. I heard the yield would be high, so I’m excited.’
“My family and I will also buy some. I heard your rice yield was substantialst year, Miss Su. Your family produced twice as muchpared to other families. My mother even exchanged rice seeds with you.”
“My family did the same thing. We intend on nting them soon and hope for a yield as high as yours. Everything Miss Su gives us is excellent.”
No one doubted Su Binn. They worked for her diligently and improved their daily lives. The vigers even called Su Binn an angel who descended into the mortal world to help and save everyone in need.
Hence, everyone wanted to visit Su Binn on New Year’s Day.
After listening to everyone’s discussion, she went to the family’s warehouse to get some potatoes and sweet potatoes. She said, “I’ll roast these for everyone to eat.”
The group looked at the things in Su Binn’s basket. One asked, “Are those potatoes and sweet potatoes?”
“l know how to use potatoes to make various dishes. I heard Drunken Cloud’s signature dish is the sour and spicy potato pancakes.”
“l heard that too, but I’ve never tried it. Still, everyone who has tried it says it’s delicious.’
“Did you forget that we ate hotpot in town? They have potatoes in their hotpot. ”
Dong Xiaolei, Li Erying, and the others nodded. They had eaten hotpot and remembered having potatoes there.
“We’ve had potatoes before. They be soft after cooking.”
“My uncle served a stew with potatoes and chicken for his wedding.”
The group understood what potatoes tasted like after discussing it for a while. Everyone was excited and could not wait to have them.
Su Binn could not help butugh when she heard their discussions. “Potatoes are good for meals. You can stew, fry, or even boil them.”
The more the group listened, the more excited they became. Yao Cuihua said, “If we grow potatoes at home, we can eat them as much as we want. That’s perfect. I wonder how many acres of them I can nt at home.”
After gaining her inws’ respect, she felt more confident speaking and making decisions at home. The family would listen whenever she expressed her opinions. Of course, all of her suggestions were good for the family.
She wondered how many acres she should use for the potatoes because the family had other things to nt.
Su Binn smiled. “The yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes should be high.
You can produce a few thousand pounds in one acre. So, you don’t need more than one acre.’
“What?! That’s a lot!” Lin Dahua’s jaw dropped. “Did I mishear?”
The group used to farm for a living and knew what harvesting a few thousand acres meant. Of course, they were excited to learn they could harvest so much with just one acre ofnd.
“That’s right. You can produce a few thousand pounds of potatoes with just one acre.” Su Binn did not specify how many thousand because the things from her pocket dimension might give a higher yield.
The vigers could produce at least three to four thousand pounds of potatoes, which was enough to shock them. Everyone grew wheat, corn, peanuts, and rice in this era, but the yield was never that high.
If every household nted potato and sweet potato seeds, they would not starve and could rely on their harvests to survive. At that moment, the group was confident they had not misheard Su Binn’s ims.
“We’ll buy the potato and sweet potato seeds.” Yao Cuihua had many mouths to feed and plenty ofnd. She even considered selling her harvests if she had more.
She knew anyone would want to buy potatoes and sweet potatoes because these were valuable resources. Even if she sold them cheaply, it would still be worth it because she anticipated a high production.
Su Binn smiled and said, “Don’t worry, everyone. We have more than enough potatoes and sweet potatoes. I’ll roast someter for you guys to try.” The group looked at her with eager eyes when they heard that.
Su Binn put many sweet potatoes and potatoes on the stove, saying, “All right, enjoy the melon seeds while the potatoes cook. You can eat the potatoes soon. ”
Everyone nodded and continued to chat. However, the group asionally looked toward the pot on the stove, wondering when they could eat the potatoes.
Su Binn noticed their expressions and knew what they were thinking. asionally, she would check on the potatoes as the rest chatted. When the potatoes finally finished cooking, she pulled them out and said, “All right, everyone. Come and try these..”
