Even if you harvest too much or too little, it’s still food! The corn will be jointing soon, so it’s just the right time to plant it, and it won’t delay planting until the next season.

It won't work any later. If it's too late, the sweet potatoes won't grow at all by then, and then it's time to plant them for the next season.

"I understand, but captain, when are we going?" Zhao Yang asked.

"We're going tonight. Get ready. Don't call anyone else. It's just the three of us."

"good."

At around one o'clock that night, Fangyuan got up, called Zhao Yang and Shi Jianxin, and left alone with a pair of scissors.

Actually, Fangyuan wanted to go to another village before, but after thinking about it, he decided not to go. It was just some sweet potato seedlings, so there was no need to go so far.

The three people soon came to a sweet potato field in the village. The sweet potatoes had been planted for a long time, and the sweet potato seedlings were two or three feet long.

Fangyuan touched a seedling, then took out one and cut it off with scissors.

After cutting it, I took two steps forward and then cut another one. Let's put it this way! After the square and round cut, if you don't pull it out and look at it, you won't be able to tell that something is missing.

There are several branches on a seedling, so pruning one branch is nothing at all, and he doesn't prune every branch.

After cutting for almost an hour, Fangyuan had already built a large bundle. Although Zhao Yang and Shi Jianxin did not cut as much as Fangyuan, the difference was not much different.

"Okay, let's go back!"

"Captain, no more cutting?"

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded and said, "These are almost enough. If you plant too many, you won't be able to finish them all."

"Oh well!"

Then the three people went back each carrying a bundle of sweet potato seedlings.

The reason why Fangyuan didn't let you continue cutting was because not only one sweet potato seedling can be planted, but more than ten seedlings can be grown from this one.

As long as a seedling has two leaves, it can be planted successfully, and with fewer seedlings, it absorbs less nutrients, so sweet potatoes can grow better.

When Fangyuan and the others returned, the team members had already gotten up and were waiting for them in the living room.

Seeing them all waiting in the living room, Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you all up?"

"Captain, let's get up and work!" Shen Yuping said, pointing to the sweet potato seedlings he was carrying.

"Uh! You all know it!" Fang Yuan scratched his head.

He didn't tell everyone about this, mainly because he didn't want so many people to know, at least not until he got it back.

Fangyuan looked back at Zhao Yang and Shi Jianxin.

Needless to say, it was definitely these two guys who said it, either both of them or one of them.

"Hehehe, that captain, I..." Shi Jianxin scratched his head.

"Okay, now that everyone is up, let's get to work!"

"Okay Captain."

Fangyuan first teaches you how to cut. Basically, you just leave two leaves and cut off a section. This is relatively simple and you can understand it at a glance.

There are many people to work with, and in less than half an hour, all the sweet potato seedlings were cut and then planted.

It's definitely not possible during the day, so it can only be done at night, and it won't be planted close to the edge of the field. At least it won't be visible to others from outside.

Fortunately, the plot of land is relatively large, even if it is planted in the middle of the ground, it is enough.

The corn is placed in two cages together, and there are ditches on both sides, so the sweet potato is planted between the two cages of corn.

In this way, there will be no delay for each other, but Fangyuan also knows that because it is planted in a corn field, the harvest is not expected to be very good.

There was only one miner's lamp, so everyone had no choice but to work in the fields with their lanterns.

Fortunately, this is in a cornfield and there is basically no light visible from outside.

This is mainly because the horse lantern is used, and the horse lantern only shines on the surroundings, not above, because there is a cover on the horse lantern.

There were not many sweet potato seedlings, only more than 10,000 seedlings in total, and they were all planted before dawn.

There is no way, there are so many people! There are more than 10,000 rice seedlings, and each person only has about a thousand rice seedlings on average.

Fangyuan and the others planted these sweet potato seedlings in the middle of the ground. If you don't go inside, you won't be able to see them from the outside.

"Zhao Yang, after dinner, go to the mountain to turn on the water and water the ground again."

"Okay captain, I'll be there in a minute."

Zhao Yang knew that what Fangyuan said about watering the ground was actually watering the sweet potato seedlings.

The newly planted sweet potato seedlings must have water, and the more water the better, otherwise they will not take root at all.

Breakfast is very simple, including millet porridge, steamed buns, and pickles that Fangyuan brought back from outside.

In fact, it was taken from space, but the team members didn't know it! They thought Fangyuan bought it from the market.

Although it was not a good meal, everyone tasted delicious and were very happy because they were full.

Not to mention the people in the second team, it is estimated that the villagers will not be able to eat these things.

After eating, Zhao Yang went up the mountain. After more than an hour, water flowed out of the moso bamboo.

Originally, Fangyuan planned to just water the sweet potato seedlings, but after thinking about it, he decided not to water them all again! The sun has been quite harsh these days.

Watering time is the most leisurely time for everyone, because there is water in the ground at this time, and you cannot go in to clear the grass.

As for watering, one person can do it. He takes a shovel and pumps water back and forth to block the water. The ground can be watered in two days.

Since there was nothing wrong, Fangyuan and the others moved a chair and sat under the tree to enjoy the shade.

"Captain, why haven't you gone to the commune these two days?" Lin Wei asked.

"What! Are you hungry?"

Lin Wei asked this question, could Fangyuan know what she was thinking?

"No, I'm just asking."

"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow and improve the food for you."

"Yeah! That's great." Several girls shouted excitedly.

In fact, it’s okay to let them eat meat every day, but Fangyuan didn’t do that. If that were the case, who would be working!

What are you doing here? How can you behave if you don’t work? Fangyuan still wants to behave better and go back early!

Several male team members were actually very excited, but they just didn't show it.

Men! Face is more important, let’s put it this way! They will never directly make demands on Yuan Yuan.

Watering should be done not only during the day but also at night, otherwise it would be impossible to water it all in two days.

Although the water flows down from the mountains and the flow is relatively fast, there is a lot of land! This is fifty acres of land, not five acres.

Of course, Fangyuan doesn't need to worry about these. There are fifty people on duty to water the fields, so Fangyuan can just do nothing.

No, early the next morning, after breakfast, Fangyuan set off on his Phoenix bicycle.

Nowadays, there is no such thing as not meeting every market, because transportation is inconvenient. Just like in future generations, it is impossible to meet this market today and that market tomorrow.

They are all nearby. Without bicycles, no one can go to other communes to buy things.

Soon Fangyuan arrived at the market. He didn't come empty-handed, but brought some chickens and rabbits.

If you can sell Fangyuan, you can sell it. If you can't sell it, you can take it back.

The bicycle was tied up in this open space, and Fangyuan took down several cages containing rabbits and chickens, placed them on the ground, and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.

On the left side of the circle is an old man selling vegetables. His vegetables have just been picked from the field because there is still mud on them.

On the right is a middle-aged man selling a basket. This is not the kind of basket covered with wattle, but made of bamboo. It looks very delicate.

"Old man, how do you sell these eggplants?"

The old man raised his head and glanced at Fangyuan, smiled and said, "You want it?"

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.

"You want it cheaper, two cents a pound."

Hearing the old man say two cents a pound, Fangyuan thought for a while and said, "Then give them all to me! There are also cucumbers and beans."

"Ah! Do you want both?"

"Yes, both."

"OK."

The old man was very happy when he heard that Fangyuan wanted it. In fact, there was not much in total, and all the dishes added together did not weigh more than fifty kilograms.

The reason why Fangyuan wanted to buy all of them was because he saw that the old man was still living here at such an old age, so he wanted to buy them all for him, and then let the old man go back early.

And all these dishes can be stored, at least for two days without any problem.

Soon the old man finished weighing the vegetables. Of course, the prices were also different. For example, cucumbers were a little cheaper, one cent and five cents per catty.

Beans are a bit more expensive, costing three cents a pound.
