Chapter 49, Sweet Potatoes

Rong Yue thought for a while, but she couldn't buy some new varieties from the space immediately, so she said to Zhang Ma: "Zhang Ma, I will go to the mountain tomorrow to see if there is anything I want to plant, and then make a decision! Maybe There are things I want to grow in the mountains.”

In fact, Rong Yue has already made a decision. She wants to buy some sweet potatoes and potatoes from the space, as well as garlic, onions, and peppers. How can she not plant them?The villagers here didn't plant it, so she wanted to plant it even more and let them follow her.

Zhang’s mother had no idea what Rong Yue wanted to plant, but Zhang’s mother blindly supported Rong Yue.No matter what Rong Yue wants to do, Zhang Ma will be the first to support her.Therefore, Zhang Ma said very actively: "Miss, I will take you to the nearby Lingnan Mountain tomorrow to search. There are many plants on the Lingnan Mountain, and I go up the mountain to cut firewood every day. There are no big insects on the mountain, and I am relatively familiar with the roads. I will go there today." I will make two more bamboo baskets tonight and let the two little maids carry them to help you carry your things."

"Okay! I'll ask Mommy Zhang to take me up the mountain to look for her tomorrow." Rong Yue thought, and that was all she could do.Otherwise, how can new varieties be produced?You can't do it at home, right?

In the evening, Rong Yue found an opportunity to enter the space and use points to buy a piece of sweet potato and a piece of potato.I also bought some peppers, garlic, onions, cilantro, spinach, tomatoes, lettuce...etc.

This time, she didn't use many points, because these things and their seeds are everywhere in the apocalypse and are very cheap.How could Guan Jian plant these things on the mountain tomorrow and then ask Ma Zhang and the two little girls to dig them back for her?
The next day.

Rong Yue wants to go up the mountain to find things to plant. In addition to Zhang Ma who wants to lead the way, Sudan and Bai Fu also want to follow.Sudan and Bai Fu said: "Miss, just look for it. No matter what you want to plant, we will help you dig it up and plant it."

Rong Yue thought about it and decided to take them with her. She wanted to bring more varieties back, but she and Zhang Ma couldn't carry so many things.Of course, she didn't plan to get back so many things at once.She plans to actually plant these things on the mountain, and make more varieties of them, preferably all over the mountains and fields, and then dig them back again in the future.In the future, the villagers will also be allowed to dig up the mountain, so that no one will suspect anything.

As a result, Li Zezhou and Rong Bao also clamored to follow up the mountain.

Rong Yue disagreed and said with a straight face: "Rong Bao, your father is injured, don't you know? Yesterday when he went to the market and just sat in the carriage, it was okay. The road up the mountain is difficult, how can he bear it? You stay at home to take care of daddy and learn lessons from daddy."

Li Zezhou's injury was almost healed, but when Rong Yue said this, it seemed like his insistence on going up was like a drag, so he had to give up in the end.

So, Rong Yue took only Zhang Ma and two girls to Lingnan Mountain.

Lingnan Mountain is not very high. They set off at about seven o'clock in the morning and were on the top of the mountain at around nine o'clock.Although the mountain is not high, it is very large and stretches for countless kilometers.

I didn't see any ferocious animals all the way up the mountain, not even small animals. No wonder no one came up to hunt.However, the mountains are full of green trees, bushes, and many exotic flowers and plants.

Zhang Ma gave each person a packet of powder and said, "Miss, you must take the realgar powder I gave you. There are venomous snakes on this mountain."

Rong Yue said: "I know. You have to take the sachet I gave you." The sachet Rong Yue gave to Zhang Ma and the two girls contained a seven-leaf flower, which is the thing that can kill hundreds of poisons. Good stuff to avoid.

There are so many exotic flowers and plants in the Lingnan Mountains, why is no one picking them?Zhang Ma said that this is because there are really venomous snakes on the mountain, and two villagers have been bitten to death, so the villagers generally do not want to come up.

Zhang's mother had learned some basic knowledge about medicine and poison from Rong Yue's mother. She knew that snakes were afraid of realgar powder, so she would bring it with her every time she went up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, Rong Yue asked everyone to search for things separately in order to take out potatoes and sweet potatoes from the space: "Let's search separately! You guys should also search, and if you find something good, pick it up quickly."

After the four of them separated, when Rong Yue was alone, she wanted to move a piece of potato and a piece of sweet potato that she bought out of the space and plant them on the mountain, but she didn't know how to move them out and how to plant them on the mountain?
To her surprise, in a flash of thought, the potatoes and sweet potatoes she bought had been planted on the mountain in front of her, which made her stunned!What a surprise!So, she transformed the seeds of various vegetables she bought.really!In a flash of her mind, the seeds and vegetables she bought in the space were planted on the mountain.

"Come quickly! There are things I want to grow here."

Zhang Ma and the two little girls heard Rong Yue's call and rushed over immediately.

Rong Yue pointed to a piece of green potatoes and sweet potatoes and asked them to dig them out.She first dug a few sweet potatoes and a few potatoes as a demonstration: "This is a sweet potato, and this is a potato? Do you understand? These are all edible."

They had never seen it before, but they looked a little pleased, so they started digging actively.

Zhang Ma asked doubtfully while digging: "Miss, is this really edible? Is it poisonous? I have been here before, but I have never seen these sweet potatoes and potatoes growing."

Rong Yue said: "It won't be poisonous, just dig it out quickly! I will build a kiln for you first and cook them, so you can taste them first."

Rong Yue quickly built several earthen kilns and fired them, then threw the sweet potatoes and potatoes into the kiln.

Zhang Ma and the two girls dug a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes and filled a basket full of them. Rong Yue's potatoes and sweet potatoes were almost cooked.

At this time, the sun was getting higher and higher, and the weather was still very hot.Fortunately they all brought water.When they were almost done digging, they stopped and sat under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air and wipe away their sweat.

"Come over here! It's all cooked and ready to eat." Rong Yue called them over, her mouth watering a little.At the end of the century, she rarely did this kind of thing because she didn't have time.She used to be busy all the time, so busy that she could never take a break.

Returning to her previous life, she suddenly discovered why people are so busy?Wouldn't it be better to take it easy?Even if you want to make money, what is the purpose of making money?Isn't it a beautiful thing in the world to kiln some sweet potatoes in your spare time and enjoy them under the shade of the trees?
Zhang Ma and the two girls were really tired from working, they were sweating profusely, and they were hungry.I heard that there was food available, so I was not polite.

However, when they saw that the sweet potatoes that Rong Yue brought out were all dark, they were afraid to eat them.

Bai Fu frowned and said, "Miss, can this really be eaten? It's all black and burned like charcoal. Can it still be eaten?"

Rong Yue didn't bother to pay attention to their dazed looks, and she licked the skin a few times: "Isn't it just that the skin is burnt black? I didn't ask you to eat the skin, you just lick the skin before eating."

She had already peeled the skin and ate it while it was still hot: "Well, these sweet potatoes are delicious! They are fragrant, sweet and pink, with a little red color."

After peeling off the skin, the sweet potato fragrance wafted out.
