After digging up the potatoes, he went to the sweet potato field.
The red, white, and purple sweet potatoes were planted in one place, which was the two acres of barren land that he had bought from the village head’s family. The two acres of barren land were next to each other. One acre was planted with red sweet potatoes, half an acre was planted with white sweet potatoes, the other half was planted with purple sweet potatoes, and the other half was planted with tomatoes. Now there were no tomato plants. The other half acre of barren land had been tidied up. Shao Shuting had even helped them at that time, and they promised to plant more things in the future.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also dug a hole in the red sweet potato field, which was much bigger than the one in the potato field. They could see several red sweet potatoes in the hole. Some of them were quite small, while some of them were two or three times bigger than the big potato that they had just dug. After they were dug back, their families would not let people eat them. Instead, they would let their chickens peck at them first. If the chickens were fine after eating them, they would let people eat them. Therefore,Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t dig any big sweet potatoes, only some medium sized ones. The other red sweet potatoes that were exposed were all buried with soil.
Then, they dug up white sweet potatoes and purple sweet potatoes, one each, and put them all in the basket.
Xue Yan carried the basket on his back when it was done.
Xue Erfu had carried the last load of the soybean plants. Xue Dafu and the others had already carried another load back, so there was only one load left.
Not only did Xue Erfu have to pick this, but he also had to bring the precious children back from the mountain. Therefore, he left the load on the road down the mountain, then strode around and asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, “How was it? Are you done digging? Why did you all stay here for so long? Is it true?
These wild things also bear fruit and also grow in the soil or something?”
“She was right.” Jiang Yue said calmly. “There really was something in the soil.
Look.”
Xue Yan turned his back to Erfu so that he could see what was inside.
Inside the basket, there was not only the yellow object that Li Qingshu had shown him, but also three other things that he had never seen before. Xue Erfu was elated. “What’s this? It’s quite big. It should still be able to grow bigger, right? The leaves and vines are still growing. Forget it, let’s not care about it for now. It’s getting dark, let’s go back quickly.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.
When they got home, Xue Dafu and the others were all curious about the crops. Liu Guixia even took a knife and cut them open.
The thing that Li Qingshu showed them was different from the other three things that came back. When the other three things were cut open, one of them was red, one of them was white, and the other was purple.
“These three things should be the same thing, just that their colors are different, right?” Xue Sifu said as he looked carefully. “I’ve been to that field before. The wild things in the field all look quite similar, just like the same thing that Qingshu showed us. You can’t tell them apart if you don’t look carefully.”
“It should be.” Liu Guixia, Xue Dafu, and the others all nodded.
“It would be great if people could eat it and that it was delicious.” Xue Sifu laughed.
“You’re thinking of selling something new, right?” Xue Erfu smiled.
“We’ve planted so many of these at home, we can’t finish them anyway.” Xue
Sifu laughed. Then, he turned to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan and said with a smile, “Aren’t you all good at naming things? Hurry up and think of a name for these things. Who cares if they’re edible or not, just give them a name to distinguish them so that we can sell them as soon as possible..”
