Chapter 66 Returning to the Village (Part [-])
The villagers in the village are happily digging sweet potatoes. From a distance, you can see piles of sweet potatoes as high as hills in front of every cabin.

The varieties of these sweet potatoes are excellent, the big ones can be as big as a child's head, and even the small ones are the size of two fists.

The yield of sweet potatoes is higher than that of potatoes. One mu of land can produce about [-] catties, which is quite a lot when piled up. The people in the village saw so much food, and they all smiled happily.

For them, there is nothing more practical than having food in their hands.

The villagers in the field took small carts to transport them home, and some were busy digging lotus roots in the canals. Some radish and cabbage seeds that Su Tang gave them before were planted in patches of green in the field.

Somewhere farther away is a piece of devil pepper that Su Tang hired to grow. Now it has blossomed and bear fruit, and I believe it will be harvested by the end of the month at most.

If there is no fighting, this place can be called a paradise-like existence.

"It's the village master who's back!" Su Tang and Xiao Che were spotted by sharp-eyed villagers just as they got off the boat, and a crowd of people surrounded them.

"Villager, this is the sweet potato that was just dug today, take it back and taste it."

"Villager, this sweet potato is delicious. It's been a long time since I've had a full meal like this."

Xiao Che saw them pushing towards Su Tang's side one by one, and carefully protected her behind him, lest she accidentally tear the freshly formed wound and it would be bad.

"Okay, okay, everyone listen to me." Su Tang couldn't resist their enthusiasm, and put away two baskets of sweet potatoes, Jingtuan couldn't stop after taking a bite of them.

The creaking sound, just sounds very sweet and crisp.

As soon as Su Tang spoke, everyone immediately quieted down and listened to Su Tang's words.

"Find a place with high ground and solid soil to dig a cellar. It's better to be as high as two people. Make the bottom spacious. The exit is enough for one person to go up and down. You can store sweet potatoes in it until next spring. At that time, you can also put radish and cabbage in it, enough to eat for a whole winter."

Su Tang told them how to store sweet potatoes, otherwise, no matter how many sweet potatoes there were, all of them would be frozen and destroyed in one winter.

"In the future, I will also write down the various eating methods and methods of sweet potatoes to teach you. For example, sweet potato flour and sweet potato vermicelli can be stored for a long time, and they will not go bad after one or two years. Go out and sell."

"Okay, thank you village master!" The villagers responded quickly after hearing this.

"I heard that the potatoes in Yanyang City can make a lot of delicious food." Some villagers who have been to Yanyang City said.

"There are too many sweet potatoes, I can't finish them all. I will ask the third master to count them one by one for everyone. Then we will take them to Yanyang City and sell them for silver, and then I will buy some grains, poultry, or Yanyang for everyone. The potatoes from the city were brought back."

The advantage of doing this is that the cultivation of sweet potatoes can also be spread. The supply of potatoes in Yanyang City is in short supply, and many outsiders can only return empty-handed.

With the influx of these sweet potatoes, they didn't make a trip in vain.

"Not only do we have food, but we can also save money." The villagers were happier than picking up money on the road.

"Thanks to the village master, we would have starved to death without the village master."

While they kept praising, Su Tang sneaked away with Xiao Che and Jing Tuan, holding sweet potatoes.

Although she knew they were very happy and could understand, she had already been praised all the way from Yanyang City to Zhaizi.

Before he slipped away, he did not forget to tell Liu Zhonglin that when he went to Yanyang City to sell sweet potatoes for the villagers, he would keep half of the tax revenue from the village and sell the other half. Sometimes she is useful.

Su Tang's small yard was kept clean and tidy by Li Sheng, and the vegetables in the small vegetable garden were ripe and fruitful, and looked extremely gratifying.

The rabbits and pheasant cubs in the poultry pen had also grown up and were alive and kicking in the nest. Su Tang was wondering whether to kill them or eat them.

There was also a basket of wild eggs in the yard.

This happy pastoral life made Su Tang feel much happier.

"Xiao Che, help me light a fire in the woods in front of the yard."

As soon as Xiao Che put down the sweet potato in his hand, he heard Su Tang's order, looking at the clear and crisp autumn weather, it wouldn't be so cold that he needed to warm himself by a fire, but he did it honestly.

Su Tang found a small basket and went to the vegetable garden to pick some cucumbers, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, carrots and other vegetables that can be eaten raw. After cleaning, he moved two small benches and placed them outside under the shade of the trees.

Xiao Che looked at her busy back and smiled unconsciously. Although the two of them did not speak, this kind of silent and natural way of getting along with each other made him inexplicably happy.

This natural feeling of getting along is like, the two are friends for many years, or...

"Come and sit." After Su Tang cleaned up, he saw a large pile of fire rising beside Xiao Che, and looked at her in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Recently Su Tang always felt that Xiao Che was different from before, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

"Try this." Su Tang picked out a bright red tomato and gave it to Xiao Che. He also picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth. He bit it down and it was sour and sweet.

"This familiar smell..." Su Tang squinted his eyes happily and sighed.

Although these vegetables are not as delicious as fruits, they are common foods in life, with a strong breath of life. After a few years, I am deeply moved to eat these familiar things again.

Familiar taste?Xiao Che looked at the red fruit in his hand, he could be sure that he had never seen this thing before, so where did Su Tang eat it?
If it was given by the gods, then according to what she said, she could only pass through the gods a few months ago. It is impossible for the gods to give her some fruits to eat when she has nothing to do these few months.

"Did you eat it often?" Xiao Che asked casually.

Su Tang suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing again. The only bad thing about dealing with smart people is that he can quickly capture key information from a sentence or two you accidentally reveal.

"I ate it in a dream before, probably at that time the gods had warned me that I would become the Daughter of Destiny." Su Tang took another bite, full of nonsense in a serious manner.

"Tian Shen is quite free, I have nothing to take you to eat in your dreams." Xiao Che teased, while putting the tomato into his mouth, biting down the sweet and sour and juicy, it was indeed delicious.

"Ha, yes!" Su Tang said in embarrassment, she knew that Xiao Che didn't believe it, but she couldn't think of a better excuse.
