184 I’m the Clown
When Qu Xin’er saw Cui Lingyi, her eyes lit up and she ordered the maidservant, “Take me there!”
She wanted Cui Lingyi to bring her out to y.
The potato field was even dirtier than the field. She didn’t want to step on it.
Qu Xin’er’s expensive outfit seemed out of ce in the potato field. The little children ying with mud looked at her curiously.
Qu Xin’er hated being stared at by dirty children and shouted at them, “What are you looking at?! Get lost!”
Qu Lianghua had clearly instructed Qu Xin’er to be polite, but at this moment, she revealed her true colors in front of so many people.
Little Peach was frightened by Qu Xin’er and hid behind Zhao Erwa.
When Stinky saw that the cute Sister Peach had been shouted at, he ran over and pulled Little Peach behind him with his dirty little hand. He called out in a childish voice, “Baibai.”
Xiaobai, who was lying in the sand and enjoying the sunbathing, suddenly stood up, shook its fur, and bared its ferocious fangs. It walked over majestically.
The agile king of the forest walked towards them.
Qu Xin’er, who had been arrogant just now, was frightened to tears.
When Qu Lianghua saw Xiaobai and met its cold green eyes, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately raised his pole and blocked in front of his daughter. He even shouted at everyone, “There’s a wolf! Run! Everyone, run!”
Unexpectedly, no one ran. Instead, it was Bai Wutong who stood up from the field and calmly walked towards Xiaobai. She stroked its head, and Xiaobai’s terrifying aura suddenly turned into that of azy pig. Itszy eyes locked onto Qu Lianghua, who was holding a pole.
For a moment, Qu Lianghua felt that he was the clown.
Bai Wutong said apologetically, “This is my family’s Xiaobai. I’m sorry for scaring you. It won’t attack anyone. If you’re afraid, just stay away.”
Qu Lianghua was stunned. She was actually raising wolves in the vige!
Wolves were not dogs! They were wild and difficult to tame!
How could she raise it in the vige? He looked puzzled and guarded.
Then, Stinky invited Little Peach to stroke Xiaobai’s head, and rode on its back. She even clutched onto its fur a few times but Xiaobai maintained itszy state. If Qu Lianghua didn’t know that it was a ferocious wolf, he would have thought that it was a pig.
Qu Xin’er was frightened, but she had spoken rudely first, that’s why Stinky summoned Xiaobai to scare her.
Bai Wutong was not too apologetic.
The atmosphere was still awkward. Everyone looked at the father and daughter as if they were here to cause trouble.
Before Qu Lianghua could say a word to Cui Lingyi, he had to leave with Qu Xin’er.
On the way back, Qu Lianghua carried Qu Xin’er. Thinking of Qu Xin’er’s performance over the past few days, his expression darkened and he became even more determined to discipline her.
However, when he returned to his room and met Qu Xin’er’s red and pitiful eyes, Qu Lianghua’s heart softened when he thought of his wife, who had passed away during childbirth.
The child was already so frightened. She must have learned her lesson.
After Qu Lianghua left, everyone continued to dig for potatoes happily. Suddenly, Lin Yue discovered an especiallyrge potato.
He dug out the entire potato with his gloved hand and shouted in shock, “Come and take a look! The potato has be a spirit!”
The Jade Spiritual Mountain was a mountainous area, and thend was not considered fertile. Other potato nts weighed at most 10 catties, which was considered high yield. The potato that Lin Yue dug out was estimated to weigh at least 40 catties.
His loud shout attracted everyone.
Everyone was stunned when they arrived.
This potato had grown too much, as if it had mutated.
Even Vige Chief Zhao, who had farmed his entire life, had never seen the yield of potatoes increase so many times.
Bai Wutong was the only person here who was not shocked. She had been wondering why they had not dug up the nt she had cultivated with modern potatoes after digging more than an acre ofnd.
One after another, everyone should be able to dig out potatoes with higher yield. Next year, everyone would be able to use these potatoes to grow crops.
Vige Chief Zhao grabbed a potato and suddenly said excitedly, “If only every potato could grow so big.”
Cui Shize instantly thought of the value of this potato. If he could use this potato to continuously nurture the future nts, with such high yield, he would not have to worry about the people not having enough food to eat.
He immediately got someone to bring the weighing scale over. He wanted to weigh it personally and find out how many potatoes this nt had.
Soon, the scale was brought over.
Cui Shize had to weigh several times before he could weigh all the potatoes. After weighing them, he carefully ced them on the clothes he had taken off to prevent the potatoes from being mixed up.
The weight of the potatoes was actually more than expected!
It was a full 50 catties!
What did it mean for a potato to weigh 50 catties? Originally, the yield could only support one person’s living. Now, it could support several more people!
Everyone’s eyes lit up!
Cui Shize’s eyes were filled with tears as he said to Bai Wutong, “Madam, can you give me some of these potatoes? If I can nt arge number of them and breed new varieties, it will definitely benefit the people of the world!”
He was afraid that this amount of potatoes was because of the mutation on the Jade Spiritual Mountain and that the seeds nted or cultivated next year would not have such a high yield.
It would have made people happy for nothing.
Cui Shize nned to use these potatoes to experiment first before reporting it to the authorities.
This was discovered in Bai Wutong’snd area. If he wanted to use these potatoes to nurture nts, he naturally had to obtain the permission from Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Sure, just leave me three acres of seeds. You can take the rest.”
Cui Shize said gratefully, “On behalf of the people of the world, thank you, Madam!”
Bai Wutong shook her head. “It was just an unexpected discovery. You don’t have to thank me! Let’s continue digging potatoes!”
After the potatoes were carefully put away, everyone began to work hard again.
As they dug, Cui Lingyi also said in surprise, “There seems to be an especially high-yielding potato here!”
...
Everyone threw down their tools and ran over to confirm. They almost knocked the bamboo hat off Cui Lingyi’s head.
Cui Lingyi stabilized her bamboo hat and nced at Lin Yue, who had be as tanned as soil. She was d that other than wearing a bamboo hat, she had also applied the sunscreen specially made by Bai Wutong.
This potato was dug out bit by bit by the excited Cui Shize. He did not miss out even the smallest potato.
As soon as it was dug out, the person beside him excitedly handed it over.
They felt that the yield of this one seemed to be higher than that of the previous one.
As Cui Shize kept counting, everyone calcted silently and came up with another shocking number!
61 catties!
God, it was simply a miracle!
If it was a mutated nt, they hoped that all the nts would mutate like this!
Simrly, this potato had been dug out of Bai Wutong’snd area.
At that time, Bai Wutong had used one or two more seedlings in her field, so the chances of digging them out were higher.
...
Not only Cui Shize, but Vige Chief Zhao and the others also looked at her eagerly. They also wanted to nt such high-yielding potatoes.
“There might be more mutated high-yielding nts. Let’s dig first. After we dig them out, we’ll distribute them to the vigers to nt. Then we’ll try nting them elsewhere and see whether we can also nt high-yielding potatoes.”
“Yes, yes, we vigers nt them ourselves first!” Cui Shize said excitedly.
Vige Chief Zhao, who originally had some objections, was immediately happy.
