20demayo Chapter 244 Potatoes
Chapter 244 Potatoes
Xiao Cao happily walked around the potato field for a full circle, then squatted down and carefully dug out a potato near the edge. As she stared at the plump potatoes in her hands, she couldn't help but think of all the delicious dishes made with potatoes that she had tasted in her previous life: sour and spicy shredded potatoes with vinegar, fragrant and soft potato-braised pork ribs, golden and crispy French fries... As she thought about it, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
You know, the yield of potatoes is comparable to that of sweet potatoes! However, in comparison, potatoes require slightly higher soil fertility than sweet potatoes.
Now, the potatoes are ripe and ready to be harvested! Oh, I have to be busy for a while. When I planted potatoes, it took me half a month to do it. Fortunately, it is only harvesting now, so I think it will be faster.
But even so, let's give up today and wait two days to harvest. After all, I am just a delicate and weak little girl, and my physical strength is really limited. I can only do a little work every day. Besides, these potatoes will not go bad in a short time if they are left in the field.
As night fell, after Yang Dashan's family had dinner, they sat together and chatted for a while, then got up and went back to their rooms to rest.
At this moment, Xiao Cao tiptoed to the door of the martial arts arena and gently pushed open the heavy door. She walked in carefully and then took out a chair and a quilt from the mall. She placed the chair in an open space, sat on it, and then spread out the quilt, wrapping herself tightly from head to toe, leaving only a pair of bright eyes outside.
At this moment, the little grass just quietly raised its head, staring intently at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and its thoughts seemed to drift to the distant sky with the stars...
Before I knew it, I had traveled to this strange place for twelve years. The mall I came from was still so familiar, and the items on display were still the same as before. The rows of shelves and the items seemed to have been forgotten by time. However, I wonder if the people outside the mall still maintain their appearance and mood as they did back then.
As my thoughts drifted, I thought of the potatoes on the mountain. After I took these potatoes out and planted them in this world, maybe I would never need the things in this mall again. Whenever I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in my heart.
Look at those time travelers. Even if they don’t have any so-called golden fingers, just relying on the extra two thousand years of historical knowledge, they can show their talents in the other world and accomplish earth-shaking feats.
But what about me? I came here with a large modern shopping mall, but I haven't even got a small official position. I am such a failure! Is it because I am not working hard enough? Or is it because my method is wrong? Countless questions swirled in my mind, making me fall into deep self-doubt...
Xiao Cao frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally found the answer to the question that had been bothering her - it turned out that she was not working hard enough! She always wanted to lie down, and didn't want to bring too many new things from her previous life into this world, which would affect the natural development of this world.
"Alas..." Xiao Cao sighed quietly, looking into the distance. At this moment, she thought of her eldest brother, third brother and fourth brother who were far away in the capital, as well as her second brother who was in the military camp. How great it would be if she had the opportunity to follow her second brother to the mysterious military camp to find out what was going on! She couldn't help but wonder, how different would this ancient army be from what she knew in her previous life?
I don't know when my second brother will come back. I counted the number of times he came home in the past two years. I can count them on one hand. It's time to harvest potatoes these two days. If my second brother is at home, I can ask him to go and help. After the harvest, I can let my second brother taste this fresh food. I'm sure that after eating it, my second brother will often miss the delicious meals at home in the barracks.
On weekdays, whenever there was a new delicacy at home, the three brothers in the capital could always taste it, but the second brother in the military camp was the only one who could not enjoy it. Whenever Xiao Caoer thought of this, he felt that among the four brothers, the second brother was the most pitiful.
At this time, Xiaocao'er didn't know that her second brother, whom she had been thinking about all the time, was rushing home, and accompanying him was someone no one expected.
