Chapter 87
"Xiong Wu, you look like this, why are you chirping! Haha!"

"Yeah, I usually see you being careless, but today it's rare to see you being so careful. It's quite awkward."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed, Xiong Wu was not annoyed when he saw that they were laughing at him, he laughed and said:

"Haha, you'll know later, don't be gentler than me."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed again, Jiang Dafu looked at the potatoes in this cave, and calculated in his heart, the potatoes here are at least [-] catties, two hundred cash per catty, this...

600 taels! ! ! !
Jiang Dafu opened his eyes wide, looking at the quiet Liu Qingcao beside him, feeling both shocked and admired.

Liu Qingcao took the potatoes worth 600 taels. If it was him, he would not be able to do this step. in the pocket.

Liu Qingcao didn't notice that Jiang Dafu's eyes were fixed on her, and her eyes were fixed in the cave.

"Brother Tian, ​​pick it from the top, otherwise the bottom ones will be empty after a while, and the top ones will roll down, which is easy to hurt." Liu Qingcao quickly reminded them when she saw them keep picking up the potatoes below.

Tian Lin glanced back, stood up immediately, and started to pick up from the top. Seeing this, the others also stood up and started to pick up from the top.

Jiang Dayin waited with a group of women and children.

There are paper and pens on the table, and beside it is a large scale, the kind used for hanging pigs.

They looked at Qingfeng Mountain excitedly, waiting for the people from the top to come down.

A quarter of an hour later, not far from the back mountain, a figure loomed and gradually became clear.

"Come on, come on!" Wang Chunhua grabbed Liu Yulan's arm excitedly. If she hadn't paid attention to her image, she would have jumped up right now.

"Here we come, Xiong Wu and the others are coming down the mountain, and the potato seeds are here."

"Yeah, hurry up, let's get the water ready, and people will come down later to quench their thirst."

"Okay, I'll pour the water, everyone do other things."

Shang Xiangxiang brushed her hair from her ears, ran aside, and filled the boiling water in the cauldron, which had been cold for a while, into bowls. These bowls were made by many families in the village, otherwise there would be no household in the village People can come up with a hundred or so bowls.

"Dayin, is the place where the potatoes are placed far away? Let's take a trip not too far away. I think it's quite strenuous for them to carry them. If they run too much, their arms may hurt for several days."

Liu Yulan walked up to Jiang Dayin and looked at the men in the distance, the shoulder poles were crooked, and she was a little worried that they would not be able to bear it.

"No, brother said, the place is too far away, you can't help much if you go there, stay here and get the potato seeds, go back and cut them out, and it will be done." Jiang Dayin shook his head as he looked at the crowd who were about to reach the foot of the mountain Well, it's a bit difficult for these men to carry a load of potatoes down the mountain, let alone women.

It would be better for them to stay and do light work.

Seeing Jiang Dayin's refusal, Liu Yulan didn't mention it anymore, turned around and stood among the crowd, quietly waiting for someone to come.

"Dayin, hurry up and weigh in. There are still many people behind, and they will be here soon." Xiong Wu approached, put the pick lightly, wiped off his sweat, and said to Jiang Dayin.

"Xiong Wu, put it here first, go drink some water first, I'll weigh it right away."

"Come on, then hurry up, finish it earlier, and let's plant the seeds earlier." Xiong Wu walked towards the table beside him with a smile, and kept reminding him.

Jiang Dayin nodded, and immediately stepped forward to have someone start weighing the potatoes.

"Dayin, 380 catties."

After Zhao Cheng weighed it, he quickly reported the number to Jiang Dayin.

Jiang Dayin made a note and started to write down another one.

"320 five catties!"

"340 two catties!"

Jiang Dayin remembered one by one, Xiong Wu and others drank water and waited aside.

"Uncle Zhao, these three picks are just going to be sent to your house, Aunt Zhao will lead the way."

Jiang Dayin took out the deeds, counted them one by one, and began to exchange them one by one.

"Alright, Xiao Wu, here, my aunt will guide you."

Aunt Zhao happily led the three of them out of the crowd and walked towards her home.

"The next one, from Jiang Li's family, take someone there."

Jiang Dayin yelled at the crowd, and Cai Jinhua squeezed out of the crowd, leading them away with a smile.

"Next……"

People came and went on Qingfeng Mountain, and there was a lot of people at the foot of the mountain. On this day, the men in the village went back and forth four times, and finally picked all the potatoes from the cave before dinner, and distributed them to the villagers' homes door-to-door.

"Phew, I finally got them all down!" General Xiong put the last pick on the ground, sat down on the stool, and took a long breath.

Now his arms are sore and weak, and his shoulders are numb from the pressure, and he can't feel any pain.

Liu Qingcao followed the crowd down the mountain, noticing their exhaustion.

Walking to the side of the stove, seeing that no one was paying attention, he secretly poured two large bowls of the spiritual spring water in the space into the boiling water in the cauldron.

Picking up the spoon by the stove, he started scooping them into the bowl.

"Brother Jiang, let everyone come over and drink some water. I sweated a lot today, so I need to replenish it in time."

"Okay, I'm going to call someone now."

Jiang Dafu walked towards the crowd with strides.

After a while, the men sitting on the stools all got up and walked towards Liu Qingcao.

"Qingcao, you have been tired all day, let's do it by ourselves, so you don't have to work hard." Tian Lin stepped forward to take the spoon and made a bowl for himself.

Today, no one in the village, old and young, men and women, felt relaxed. Even Liu Qingcao, who helped pick up potatoes on the mountain, was so tired that his waist could not straighten. Everyone looked at it and felt very distressed.

"It's fine, and I'm not too tired." Liu Qingcao smiled, indicating that she was fine.

At the time on the mountain, she was indeed exhausted to death, but on the way down the mountain, taking advantage of the time to drink water, she poured herself a large bowl of spiritual spring water, and now her physical fatigue has long since receded , relaxed and comfortable, much better than the person in front of him.

Jiang Dafu looked at Liu Qingcao, thinking she was forcing a smile, stepped forward, and persuaded:
"Qingcao, go and rest for a while, we big men don't need a little girl like you to rush around."

"Yes, go and sit on the stool over there to rest for a while, we don't need you to worry about it." Jiang Li nodded and agreed.

Liu Qingcao had no choice but to go to the side to rest according to their wishes.

After Jiang Dayin finished the last weighing, he walked towards Liu Qingcao.

"Green grass, every family's potato seeds have been distributed, and there are still [-] catties of potatoes left here, which will be enough to plant your land."

"I only planted [-] acres, which is an extra five hundred catties. Later, each household will receive ten catties, and let them take it home to eat. It can be fried, boiled, fried or steamed."

"I'm afraid everyone is not willing to eat it. You should keep the grass and grow it yourself." Jiang Dayin smiled helplessly. He was reluctant to let him eat it, let alone the villagers.

However, it is worth mentioning that the taste of this potato is really good.

Liu Qingcao shook her head and explained:

"Second Brother Jiang, don't make them reluctant to eat these potatoes. Let them eat these potatoes. Only after eating will they know whether their hard work these days is worth it."

"Okay, then I'll go and weigh it out, and let everyone take it home and taste it."

Jiang Dayin felt that Liu Qingcao was right. Everyone just relied on their explanations to understand the potatoes, and they didn't know anything else. Now that they have the opportunity to taste them, they will know what they grow, and they will work harder in the future.

Liu Qingcao nodded and said no more. She watched fifty or sixty picks of potatoes neatly stacked aside, secretly happy in her heart, this matter was completed again, and the next step was to grow potatoes.
