Chapter 801: Cleaning up the sweet potato vines

Song Youde and Wang Lifen parked their bikes on the side of the road, then walked down the mountain along the ridge to the sweet potato field on the side.

There weren't many sweet potatoes planted, just one or two mu of land. Now that it was autumn, it was the perfect season for crazy growth, and the leaves and stems were growing densely, covering the field so tightly that not even wind could pass through!

If it weren't for everyone coming every few days to pick some to stir-fry or feed the pigs, they would have had to come specifically to turn the vines in the summer with this growth momentum!

Looking at it now, it was still densely packed and exceptionally sturdy.

Only one corner towards the middle was sparse, looking like a bald spot, obviously because the wild boar Da Hei had come over to root around and eat, which was why the complete field now had a gap.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lifen felt a bit reluctant:

"It's almost Frost's Descent, and the vines are still growing so well, should we wait a bit longer?"

Song Youde disagreed: "Sweet potatoes are only sweet and delicious around Frost's Descent! Don't wait, the cattle and sheep down there are waiting to be fed. Is the meat worth more or the sweet potato vines worth more!"

Hearing this, Wang Lifen nodded: "That's true—if we wait any longer, these will all wither, and then they won't taste good, and the pigs will be picky too."

She picked up a small sickle: "Let's clean up the vines first, and Tan Tan will come to dig the sweet potatoes later—are the ones planted this year red-hearted or white-hearted?"

【The two crouching dragons and phoenix chicks behind, they are really going all out!】

Looking at the sweet potato vines again, there were no green ones, nor purple-red ones, because they were carefully selected varieties from the vegetable market, so the colors weren't too uniform.

【I'm calling you! You practiced diligently during that time, and you still haven't learned how to pull a pig's leg! Your husband is a witness!】

The old couple worked together, and for a moment, they were quite in sync.

Thinking of Professor Song who left with the students, Wang Lifen felt quite reluctant... That expert was really good! Looking at the land at home, he really worried a lot!

【You thought too much, brother, anyway, it's sold to us】

【You are different, because you learned too well, your husband's underpants were pulled off—】

【Hey, hey, hey, don't go!】

The soil was soft, and the sweet potatoes were small; with just two digs, a round, chubby one was unearthed, looking completely different from the long, thin strips of so-called honey sweet potatoes or smoke-flavored sweet potatoes sold online.

Qiao Qiao held the big sweet potato and was stunned.

【Remember, remember, I'm in the pig-killing dish】

The remaining bullet comments were much more serious:

【"The Back View"】

【I don't like such big ones, they can't be roasted through in the stove pile at all, the outside is burnt, but the inside is still raw.】

【It's really hard to cook if they are too big, you have to cut a few more times when steaming.】

"However, I taught the children when harvesting rice in the summer, so I won't review it today."

Song Youde also forgot—there were too many planted at home, how could he remember so clearly? He only remembered that it seemed to be about half and half?

"Children, today I will teach everyone how to dig sweet potatoes."

By the time Qiao Qiao ran over with the mobile phone stand, the old man had already cut a ridge.

He curiously squatted on the ridge: "Grandpa, are the sweet potatoes ripe?"

White-hearted red-skinned ones have less starch, less moisture when eaten raw, and are more filling after being cooked, with a floury texture.

【Seven yuan? Where are you? I need one here!】

【Is it easiest to sprout in the rain?】

"Teacher Song from home said, Autumn Equinox for broomcorn millet, Cold Dew for grain, and dig sweet potatoes before and after Frost's Descent—Cold Dew was last week, because there was heavy rain, our family only started harvesting rice today!"

This was taught by Professor Song before he left. Qiao Qiao had a good memory and repeated it completely at this moment.

【He is standing there and not moving; go fetch him a bundle of sweet potato vines.】

【You are talking about the 5 yuan per jin, weighed by the jin, right? One is already several jin.】

【I just want to know, if you dig sweet potatoes a week after Frost's Descent, will the sweet potatoes be less delicious?】

【Thanks to the anchor for being considerate, I can't harvest rice without dividing the seven grains, just call me for pig killing】

"Okay!" Wang Lifen pointed to the ones piled on the ridge: "Load them on the cart, and take them to the factory yard later!"

Everyone was heartbroken, only having time to leave bullet comments—

The heavy vines intertwined together were lifted by Wang Lifen, and Zhang Yanping held a sickle and cut them a few times along the roots, only then letting go to replace them with another stack.

"Okay!" Qiao Qiao immediately started working vigorously.

When Qiao Qiao heard this, he was instantly happy, then he remembered the live broadcast and quickly moved the stand over to the side:

Qiao Qiao only ran a few times, and soon there was nothing left on the ground.

【It's really big! If the roasted sweet potato stall at the school gate dared to sell such big ones, one would bankrupt me】

Thus, the netizens who just entered the live broadcast room were in a trance, watching the live broadcast room empty out, only able to see Qiao Qiao holding the sweet potato vines and passing by with great enthusiasm...

Qiao Qiao spoke seriously, very much like it, but the bullet comments were swiping fast again:

【No, looking at the anchor's environment, the temperature is low now, it's not that fast, it doesn't matter if it's a few days late】

The bullet comments were also stunned:

【Cold Dew has passed for seven or eight days, it's still a bit late to harvest rice】

"Ripe!" Zhang Yanping laughed: "Anyway, we have to dig them in these two days, you dig two out first to see."

【It's not... who can tell me? The sweet potatoes dug out of this field, do they grow so big?】

【Is this a sweet potato vine? Do potatoes grow like this too?】

【Didn't you hear the anchor say? There was heavy rain two days ago】

Although the old couple still worked very neatly, the efficiency of cutting vines and putting them on the tricycle was different.

【Look at the calf, look at the calf, look at the calf.】

Will the sweet potatoes be less delicious?

Thinking about it, he hesitated and said: "Sister said the family is a bit busy, so she won't invite classmates for now, do you remember the pig-killing dish in winter? Children must study hard!"

【I came as soon as I saw the notification, why is the anchor leaving again!】

【I miss the sweet potatoes planted in my hometown! Many are not this round shape.】

【By the way, suddenly harvesting so many sweet potato vines, is it to feed the pigs, or to feed the newly arrived cattle and sheep?】

I picked up a tree branch from the side, and at this moment, I was already digging hard.

【The one in front called dad, you call it, anyway, I don't deny the back view—】

【Look at the sheep, look at the sheep, look at the sheep... The anchor only mentions it in words, and never takes us to see it】

It was seen by Professor Song a while ago, and he thought it lacked nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer! As a result, after studying it more, it was determined to be a variety problem.

Zhang Yanping picked up a tree branch from the side, and at this moment, he was already digging hard.

【Is the anchor's heart only me, or is there nothing else?】

Red-hearted sweet potatoes refer to yellow-white-skinned sweet potatoes, which are crisp and sweet when eaten raw, and soft and less moist when cooked.

【Woo woo woo, instantly sad】

【Anchor, I, judo coach, really practiced self-sacrifice and throwing well, can be used to deal with pigs!】

【Air fryer 40 minutes roasted sweet potato... fragrant!】 ===== CHAPTER 802 =====
