At noon, it's steamed buns, but it contains oily residue, minced leeks, shredded cucumbers and pickles, and another pot of green onion and tomato soup.
Since there are five of them, they didn’t put any eggs because it was difficult to explain.
I continued my work in the afternoon. This time I used the Zhao family’s donkey cart to load the potatoes I had left behind.
They caught up for more than an hour, and the field department arrived with three cars and twelve people.
Su Yuanyuan went over to say hello, and Ma Changshun also drove over. He came to say hello.
Zhao Yanli followed them and put the small and injured ones they didn't want into boxes. When they were full, she put them on the donkey cart.
The twelve of them were quite fast. In the evening, they loaded all the qualified potatoes that had been harvested today onto the carts. There were five carts in total. Two of them were Su Yuanyuan's donkey carts.
There were more than one cart full of small, bruised potatoes, and they were all put into the yard.
In this way, it took three days to finish the potatoes on less than fifty acres of land, which was already very fast.
"Team Leader Ma, we'll start harvesting sweet potatoes tomorrow. If you also have autumn harvest at home, we won't delay you."
"Well, my family will also start tomorrow, and I want to use your skills."
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Team Leader Ma, we and the Zhao brothers and sisters jointly paid for this piece of junk, just to use it together. Let's collect it first, and their family hasn't collected it yet. I'm very embarrassed."
Ma Changshun smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to make two of these cracks this year. It's really easy to use. It saves a lot of effort."
A total of 11,000 potatoes were paid for the more than 50 acres of land. Including the small potato seeds at home, the yield per mu reached 300 kilograms. It is really a lot in these days.
"Yuanyuan, the five of us will finish our work with you and then go collect the things from home." Zhao Qingxiang said while eating.
Su Yuanyuan thought for a while, "Okay, it will be collected in about twenty days. Then we will go to your house to work together, and we will collect it when it gets cold."
In fact, their sweet potatoes are planted relatively late. This is the time when sweet potatoes are converting starch, and the yield will be higher if they are later.
After sending away the five brothers and sisters, the two of them rested for a while, and then worked directly with their supernatural powers at night. The two of them worked five acres of land and then stopped. When the brothers and sisters came over, they had already picked out all the sweet potatoes.
Just like potatoes, keep the small and bad ones for yourself.
"Yuanyuan, you didn't rest all night?"
"Well, we're afraid of delaying your business."
"Then we'll stay tonight too."
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, you go and have a rest. The two of us don't have much energy during the day. The main force still depends on you."
They worked hard. They harvested five acres of land throughout the day.
In the end, greedy gangsters got the better of them, and their three donkey carts also went to deliver the sweet potatoes.
When they came back in the evening, they still used their superpowers. Just like that, they worked continuously for a week. Now there is only one day's work left in the fields.
They have now handed over nearly 50,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Along the way, many people would look at the sweet potatoes on the donkey cart and were very envious of the two of them.
The other families were breaking corn. When they saw other people's sweet potatoes growing like this, those who went home went to break their own sweet potatoes. However, the biggest ones were not as big as other people's, and they were all the same kind of sweet potatoes.
On the last day, they handed over another three thousand kilograms. A total of fifty thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes were handed over. Now their task was definitely completed.
Zhao Xiaoli was stingy and wanted to pick sweet potatoes from their fields. "There are not many, really. Believe me, I will share some of my bad sweet potatoes with you."
Zhao Qingxiang shook his head, "No, we have them at home too."
Su Yuanyuan just smiled and didn't say anything.
Tan Shaoting said, "We will arrive at your property at four o'clock tomorrow, driving two cars."
Zhao Qingxiang nodded. He was also anxious now. In fact, it was already five days later than the time he had set.
But seeing that everyone’s food has been harvested, how can we not be anxious?
The brother and sister didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, after dinner, they helped Su Yuanyuan and the others put all the undamaged sweet potatoes, big and small, into the cellar.
In this way, sweet potato seedlings will be grown next year. Small sweet potatoes can be used to grow seedlings, and the size of the sweet potatoes will not be affected the next year.
"You guys go back and have a rest, that's all that's left. The two of us will go out and finish it in a while."
After they left, Tan Shaoting collected all the sweet potatoes and put them in the cellar. Of course, they were placed separately.
Today the two of them just drank the spiritual spring water and went to sleep. To be honest, they were really tired after nearly twenty days.
The next day they had breakfast and drove to the Zhao family's field.
The five brothers and sisters are already cutting sweet potato seedlings.
Now there were seven of them lined up in a row, each with two sickles, cutting side by side and back.
They planted eighty acres of sweet potatoes, thirty acres of potatoes, and the remaining forty acres of corn.
So seven people cut down eighty acres of sweet potato seedlings in one day.
At noon, Tan Shaoting and Zhao Qingxiang went to the field department and applied for sweet potatoes to be shipped tomorrow.
It's the same operation here. I'll come over and pick it up.
The next day, they did the same thing as they did in Su Yuanyuan's field, but the number of sweet potatoes was really much different.
But at least there are sweet potatoes. According to this yield, one acre of land is just over 200 kilograms.
It took them five days to build the eighty acres of land.
A total of 12,000 kilograms were handed over. It was agreed that we would start removing potatoes tomorrow.
Thirty acres of potatoes were used for three days and five thousand kilograms were handed over.
They didn't leave any potatoes to plant, and the remaining potatoes were all small. There was no other way, and their task was only 15,000 catties. This was because of the drought this year. If it had been one acre of land before, it would have been 112 catties.
The five brothers and sisters were relieved after finally completing the task. There were still more than 5,000 kilograms of small sweet potatoes and potatoes left.
When they went back in the evening, Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan took Huozi to Team Leader Ma's house.
Their family cut the corn first, and they had just cut the potatoes two days ago. This cut came at the right time.
Ma Changshun left a gap. Even if there were two of them, they wouldn't be able to use that much, and there weren't that many people to work with.
On the second day, the two of them helped the five brothers and sisters break the corn. While breaking it, the three sisters shed tears. In fact, there were not many corn kernels on one corn cob.
"It would be great if we could also grow sweet potatoes or potatoes in these 30 acres of land. At least we could last until next autumn's harvest. There's not enough to eat now."
Su Yuanyuan didn't know how to comfort them. It was indeed quite miserable.
The four girls broke the corn because they had enough time. So the four of them just peeled the corn cobs off the corn stalks. Each of them carried a basket on their back. When it was full, they put it on the donkey cart.
