There is a dragon in my fish pond

Chapter 233 One Potato and Two Sweet Potatoes
When they arrived in the field, the two brothers were a little confused, seeing the sweet potato stems and leaves all over the ground.

"Where's the sweet potato? It should be out by this time? There's no reason not to come out!"

Li Yafan has never seen, let alone planted, sweet potatoes. He doesn't know that the fruits of sweet potatoes grow in the soil at the root.

Li Yaping was also moved by his brother's IQ.

"Tell me, with your IQ, how did you get into college?"

After his brother's explanation, Li Yafan realized that the fruits of sweet potatoes are mainly in the roots under the soil.

Next, the two brothers were worried. They planned to pull out the stems and leaves like peanuts, and the sweet potato at the root would automatically come out, but the two brothers pulled it out a few times, but it didn’t seem to be the case. This time it was Li Yaping’s turn. Doubt life, do you also think wrong?
Li Yaping couldn't help regretting that he didn't follow his uncle when he went up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes.

Fortunately, Li Yafan was quick and firm in his mind. The fruit of the sweet potato grows at the root, which is absolutely true. Li Yaping picked up a small shovel, lay down on the ground, and set an example for Li Yafan.

Using such a small shovel, he dug on the ground and picked out the sweet potatoes one by one. Li Yafan also followed his brother's example, lying on the ground with the small shovel, and dunked out the sweet potatoes one by one.

It was very inefficient to do so. It took half a day to count, but only four or five sweet potatoes were picked out, and the two brothers were so tired that they almost lay on the ground.

Large pits were dug out one after another on the ground, and Li Yafan couldn't help lying on the ground panting heavily.

"I said big brother, I always feel that our method is wrong!"

"What's wrong, do you have another way?"

Li Yaping couldn't help saying, in his impression, things that grow in the soil shouldn't be picked like this. The two brothers picked a few more sweet potatoes, and they were really tired. ,

Li Yafan simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

"What are you two doing?"

Li Yaping couldn't help looking back, and saw the neighbor's uncle Hu, who was carrying a pickaxe, looking at the two brothers curiously.Now is the busy autumn season, and it is quite normal to be able to see neighbors on the mountain.

"Uncle Hu, we are picking sweet potatoes!"

"Picking sweet potatoes, young sweet potatoes are not picking like you."

To be honest, looking at the big hole the two brothers left on the ground, what I knew was digging sweet potatoes, but what I didn’t know was that I thought they were digging land mines.

"Our brothers are not very good at it. If you have kung fu, Mr. Hu, you can teach us two."

Li Yaping humbly asked Uncle Hu for advice.

"Okay, you've read it!"

Uncle Hu took off the head of the hoe on his back, swung it round and swung it on the ground, and then turned it over, and the sweet potatoes in the soil were immediately brought out.Repeatedly doing this brought out a row of ravines on the ground, and on both sides of the ravine, all the huge sweet potatoes were turned out.The two brothers couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and suddenly they understood what was going on.

Throwing down the small shovel in his hand, Uncle Hu is an outsider after all, and he can't let outsiders help with the work in his field.

"Now this kid really doesn't know how to do any kind of work. He doesn't even bring a shovel when he goes up the mountain to pick sweet potatoes. What's the use of this small shovel? He's here to dig treasures. He's spoiled by his family."

Uncle Hu couldn't help saying.

"Grandpa, leave the shovel to you, and we brothers will give it to you when we're done using it, and send it home!"

"Okay, you two, don't forget!"

As he said that, Uncle Hu left the hoe in his hand to the two brothers, and the two of them whistled and went down the mountain.

"Come on, which of us will come?"

The two of them looked at the head of the hoe, neither of them wanted to move first, the two brothers were not fools, they could both see that the swaying of the hoe was a physical effort, if it was really swayed, the arms and legs would not be able to move. I won't be able to get off the kang for a few days.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

The tacit understanding between the two brothers rushed up immediately, and after a fierce competition on March [-]th, the task of swinging the head finally fell on Li Yaping's shoulders.

Li Yaping was also unambiguous, spit two mouthfuls on his hand, rounded the tip of the pickaxe in his hand, and smashed it on the ground.

"Oh!"

The hoe smashed into the soil, and Li Yaping stopped suddenly.

"what happened?"

Li Yafan couldn't help asking.

"We don't feel right!"

Li Yaping couldn't help wondering.

"What's wrong?"

Li Yafan lifted the hoe buried in the ground.

"I saw two huge sweet potatoes stuck on the top of the picket."

Li Yafan couldn't help but gave Li Yaping a thumbs up.

"Li Yaping is fine, just based on your current level, don't you think about selling a string or something?"

I saw that there were two sweet potatoes stuck on the top of the hoe, obviously, the angle of force was wrong just now, two huge sweet potatoes were pierced by the top of the hoe.

"Tsk tsk!"

Li Yafan couldn't help calling it a pity.

"Li Yaping, you are a prodigal. Is it easy for these two sweet potatoes to grow so big? You said to split them in half, so they were split in half!"

"I will try again!"

Speaking of which, Li Yaping raised the head of the hammer again and swung it up. Just now, there were problems with the strength and angle. This time, he deliberately adjusted his strength.

"Oh!"

The head of the hoe went into the soil again, and when it was lifted out again, a huge sweet potato was attached to the side of the head.

Li Yaping kept the sweet potato on the ground, rounded the head of the shovel in his hand, and planed it a few times. Strange to say, at least one sweet potato could be brought out every time the shovel was turned.

However, most of the sweet potatoes buried in the soil were turned out.

"Every time you go down, you can chop at least one sweet potato. Li Yaping, you are poisonous. I think you should buy a lottery ticket or something. Judging by the probability, I think it is quite difficult."

Li Yafan looked at it, and there were some sweet potatoes that had been broken into two halves, and he couldn't help but feel that it was a pity.

"Stop being silly, hurry up and help, maybe you want to work all night in front of this chaotic graveyard again!"

This sentence touched Li Yafan's sore spot, he didn't dare to tease his brother anymore, he quickly rolled up his sleeves to help his brother get busy.

Using the baskets I brought, I loaded them up, and there were three big baskets full of sweet potatoes. Looking at the sweet potatoes that had been chopped to pieces on the ground, Li Yaping couldn't help feeling very distressed.

"Let's take these back with us!"

After all, the two brothers planted it with their own hands, so they just threw it away. Li Yaping felt that it was still edible after taking it home and cutting it with a knife.

The two brothers gave each other a glance, and knowingly picked up the sweet potatoes on the ground that they had planned to throw away, and put them into the basket again.

Li Yaping pushed the cart, and the two brothers hummed a little song, and went down the mountain happily. It was a rewarding experience to watch. They were naturally very happy that the two brothers had such a big harvest for the first time farming. After the sweet potatoes were placed in the basement of the house, Jin Xiulian cooked some good dishes, and Li Yaping stayed at home to rub a meal.
