Chapter 224 Harvest
She also tried different methods on how to harvest potatoes.

Five mu of land is not too much, and iron picks and furrow plows can be considered.

Today I came here to teach them how to harvest potatoes. Su Nanzhen demonstrated once, pulling out potato seedlings, digging up the soil with an iron pickaxe, and picking them up. If several people work together, they can use a furrow plow, but they are also asked not to damage the potatoes as much as possible.

Everyone in the Zhuangzi understood that they had harvested nearly one hundred catties of potatoes through practice, and the managers were delighted to see so many potatoes.

Su Nanzhen went back with the harvested potatoes, and said that he would give them some to try when the remaining potatoes were collected tomorrow.

The crowd applauded.

On the last night, it was Qi Dalai's turn to be on duty, so he probably relaxed his vigilance a little. He was startled when he took a nap, and several black shadows came out of the house, all of them were masked men in black, holding iron Pickaxe and furrow plow those.

They started harvesting potatoes quietly at night, and the people in the village didn't notice it.

Immediately, Qi Da understood that they had used medicine, and the people on Zhuangzi probably wouldn't wake up for a while, and without helpers, Qi Da didn't dare to act rashly.

It is even more impossible to leave hastily. The opponents seem to belong to Lian Jiazi, but they are by no means his opponents. Qi Da quietly stared at those people, calming down in his heart. Now is not the time to startle them.

"Do you feel like someone is watching us?" one of them asked uneasily, looking around.

"You are called a guilty conscience, don't hurry up, this matter will be difficult to handle at dawn."

"..."

Qi Da twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing that he was a thief.

The potatoes were turned out one by one under the moonlight, and he realized that those people also knew how to harvest potatoes. He couldn't help but suspect that they had secretly seen how to harvest potatoes during the day.

Thinking of them being stared at but not aware of it, Qi Shi felt a little scared.

After they had collected all the potatoes, Qi Da saw the opportunity before jumping out and forcing everyone back again and again, and then sent out a signal that he was going to catch them alive.

There were too many people, but when he stood still, he also recognized who was the leader, and arrested the leader to fight.

When Qi Er saw the signal, he hurried over to help.

Su Nanzhen also woke up. She didn't know what was going on with Zhuangzi, but Qi Da needed help, so she asked Mu Furong to help.

Mu Furong was somewhat reluctant, but she had to listen to her master's words.

The three of them worked together to catch the thieves who came to steal the potatoes, and only one of them ran away, even bringing back the potato thieves.

Coincidentally, Su Nanzhen also caught a thief.

A pair of confessions on both sides are not from the same group.

Su Nanzhen asked Qi Da to lead someone to sue the officials, and he ran into Pei Songzhi before he got out of the thatched cottage.

Poor Pei Songzhi came all the way and took a case before he had a few words with Su Nanzhen, so he had to deal with business first.

Gu Shenyi and the others came back with him. Su Nanzhen borrowed Gu Shenyi and led Mu Furong to check the health of the people in Zhuangzi.

She never thought that this investigation would lead her to find out some small things. Niu Zhu was the only one in Zhuangzi who did not suffer from the misty smoke. After questioning, she found out that he had been bribed long ago.

Facing the man kneeling down and begging for mercy, Su Nanzhen was unmoved. She asked herself that she did not treat him badly, but he betrayed her for a few taels of silver. A few taels of silver caused me a lot of losses, if someone pays a high price in the future, can you sell my head?"

Seeing that the man was still defending himself, Su Nanzhen shook his head and asked Mu Furong to take the witness away, "Go ahead, and Doctor Gu and the others, I'm not as weak as you think."

They all signed the contract of sale, but they didn't expect that their conscience would be bought easily. Thinking of this, Su Nanzhen glanced at the rest of the people, and beat them up with grace and power.

And Mu Furong took a look at Gu Shenyi and He Er, hesitated before taking them away. If she was faster, she should be able to catch up with Pei Songzhi and the others, and she would be able to pick her and Eggy back in time.

"Is there anything else I have to do here?" Gu Shenyi saw that there were no patients, the effects of the smoke and medicine had expired, and those people were busy in the fields, and he was a little bored watching from the sidelines.

"You go back first, I don't say that, she is worried." Su Nanzhen looked at the direction when she came, Mu Furong had long disappeared, and said to him apologetically.

"That won't work, He Er stays here, I can go back alone." Gu Shenyi shook his head again and again, he was afraid that his future brother-in-law would beat him up.

Su Nanzhen didn't insist anymore.

"Mom, I want to pick potatoes too." Seeing other people picking up potatoes, Eggy was eager to try.

"Okay, let's get a small basket first." Su Nanzhen said with a smile.

"Yeah." Eggy almost jumped up happily, feeling that picking up potatoes seemed like a lot of fun.

Before Gu Shenyi left, seeing Dandan's happy face, she suddenly had the urge to bring her daughter to experience it.

Ever since he went back and saw his daughter's delicate hands, he had no more thoughts.

Those people who stole potatoes last night picked up big ones. There were still many small ones in the field, and a few big ones were left in the corners. After picking them up, there were three baskets.

And Dandan also picked up a basket, which weighed about three catties.

The ones he picked up were left for the people in the village to try out, and the remaining three baskets were brought back when Mu Furong came back.

There may still be a little bit in the field, it's time to plant rice, turn over the field again, and what they pick up is theirs to satisfy their greed.

The manager thanked him repeatedly, and did not forget to admit his mistake. I almost made a big mistake because of my ignorance of people. It is lucky that I can keep my position after such a thing happened.

Don't take this as an example, Su Nanzhen didn't blame him this time, but just told him to be more vigilant in the future.

Back to the thatched cottage, the backyard is full of potatoes.

Su Nanzhen and Mu Furong hurriedly took stock of the weight, and Su Niangzi helped record it.

Looking at the numbers in the notebook, Mrs. Su calculated in her heart, thinking that she might have made a mistake, after all, she had never calculated such a large number.

"How much?" Seeing that she didn't make a sound, Su Nanzhen couldn't wait.

"Why don't you do the math, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake." Mrs. Su handed her the notebook with a look of disbelief.

In fact, Su Nanzhen had already estimated in her heart that there were nearly 2 catties of potatoes. She also had some doubts about whether she had made a mistake in her calculations, so she quickly took her small notebook and abacus.

After a crackling meal, everyone asked curiously, "How much."

"Twenty-three thousand." Su Nanzhen looked at the final result with a smirk.

Everyone took a deep breath.

"Is the calculation correct?" Su Niangzi came back to her senses and asked again.

"How much did you figure out?"

"Twenty-three thousand."

"That's right, Furong, you guard these potatoes, and no one can touch them."

Su Nanzhen suddenly remembered something, and hurried back to sort out the last records, and waited for Pei Songzhi to come over and give these things to him.
