After finishing the harvest, Yu Xiasheng took a cart full of wheat to the bustling city for sale.

The wheat comes from the plains of Ranthim, and the price is not handsome.Relying on the experience and courage of the traveling merchant, and the quality of the wheat itself was higher than expected, Yu Xiasheng's wheat was not maliciously lowered in price.

He harvested nearly three hundred silver coins, which was beyond Yu Xiasheng's expectation.

While Yu Xiasheng was away, Nigeya stayed to watch the house.

The dragon sat in the field and burned the straw when he was bored.Yu Xiasheng didn't come back until seeing the straw was almost burned.For the next few days, whenever Yu Xiasheng went out, Nigeya would silently follow him.

Nigga is clingy.

Yu Xiasheng was very pleased, but also had new troubles.

First he was busy buying two cattle for the manor, and then dug a deep well to prepare for winter wheat cultivation.In this way, most of the money just earned has been spent.

The wheat stalks burned by Nigeya were used as fertilizer and buried in the ground. Potatoes were planted in the place where wheat was originally planted. Yu Xiasheng planned to promote the planting of potatoes in the agricultural town during the next year's harvest.

In April of the following year, Yu Xiasheng watched the potato stems and leaves turn from green to yellow, and began harvesting.

……

"How long will it take to eat?" Kelubei stood on the stool eagerly, staring at Nigeya who was cooking.

The kitchen trash can was filled with potato skins, mashed potatoes cooked into a warm mash and set aside.Seb, who looked like a boy, approached the bowl of mashed potatoes quietly, and the spoon he extended was quickly spotted by Nigeya and confiscated.

"Damn it!!" Sebu yelled in dissatisfaction, but was pulled aside by Seber, who also looked like a boy, and warned him to be quiet.

"It's not time for dinner yet." Nigeya said, "Hold on."

Thurb pressed his face on the table, staring at the mashed potatoes, they were delicious, and he wanted to eat them.

Crube's saliva was already dripping all over the floor.

Nigeya had prepared the last portion of mashed potatoes and was serving them out of the basin when Yu Xiasheng just came back from outside and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

Yu Xiasheng's complexion was not very good, and he was not energetic.

"Is it not going well?" Nigeya filled a portion of mashed potatoes and gave it to Yu Xiasheng. Sebu and Kerube stared at the bowl nervously.

Yu Xiasheng nodded, took a bite, and his complexion improved slightly, "It's really delicious."

"I also want!"

"Me too, me too!"

Thurb and Krube couldn't help but quarreled, and Nigeya threw them to their respective positions and began to divide the bowls.But Rube stuck out his tongue, and the saliva almost dripped into the bowl.

"What did the mayor say?" Nigga asked.

Yu Xiachang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Compared to vegetables of unknown value, wheat is safer."

People in this era do not understand potatoes, and it is inevitable to worry about new things. For farmers who rely on selling grain for their livelihood, the unknown value of potatoes is not as reassuring as wheat.

The grain harvest in the rural town has always been bad, and the town is poor and unable to develop.Yu Xiasheng plans to promote potato-driven operations in rural towns. He can also take advantage of the fact that potatoes are easy to grow and store, collect enough grain, and get a share of the credit for the grain.

Now, there is no sufficient guarantee of value, farmers dare not rashly plant potatoes, and Yu Xiasheng's plan is hindered.

"At least I can convince the mayor to believe my words..." Yu Xia was troubled.

Nigeya licked his spoon and felt that the taste of mashed potatoes was not bad. After thinking about it, he suggested, "There are people who are more likely to gain the trust of the townspeople than you."

"Who?"

Yu Xiasheng subconsciously looked at Nigeya, thought carefully, and said in shock: "Daoer?!"

Nigga nodded.

That said, it's unclear whether Doyle will be willing to help.Yu Xiasheng frowned and fell into thinking again. Nigeya looked at Yu Xiasheng's troubled face, stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkles on his forehead, and said forcefully: "It's cold!"

Yu Xiasheng hurriedly looked at the mashed potatoes in his bowl.

It's a little cold, but it doesn't hinder the taste.Yu Xiasheng picked up the bowl and started to eat, so as not to waste Nigeya's heart.As for the potato, maybe you can discuss it with Doyle.

After lunch, Yu Xiasheng took a rest for a while and set off for church with Nigeya.

Doyle is resting today, and no one can be seen in the church.Yu Xiasheng wanted to look for the hut in the backyard, and as soon as he walked to the door, he met Doyle in casual clothes.

"What are you here for?" Doyle was indifferent, his eyes just happened to see Nigeya behind Yu Xiasheng, and his attitude immediately turned, "Nighogg, do you want to come in and sit?"

"Go in and talk." Yu Xiasheng's face darkened, and he grabbed Nigeya and walked in.

Doyle was not very happy, but Yu Xiasheng's attitude was tough and he couldn't be chased away, and Nigeya's state was probably a little sticky. If Yu Xiasheng was driven away, Nigeya would not stay.

After entering the house, Yu Xiasheng found a stool for Nigeya, but he couldn't find the second one.

Doyle leaned against the door and said, "Stand."

Yu Xiasheng has seen how poor the church really is. Doyle rarely accepts donations and lives in poverty.

"I want you to convince the mayor about the potatoes," Yu Xiasheng cut to the chase. "Its growth requirements are very low, and the edible part is not easy to attract insects in the ground. The key is that it can replace wheat as a staple food."

Doyle refused, "No."

"why?"

"Plants of unknown origin not only have no guarantee of value, the church will not recognize it."

"Church?" Yu Xiasheng considered the issue of value, but Doyle pointed out another key point for the first time.

"Things that are denied by the church, no matter how high the value is, are not allowed to exist."

"What if the church approves?" Yu Xiasheng pondered.

Doyle: "What?"

Yu Xiasheng said: "As long as the church accepts this food, will you be willing to convince the mayor for me?"

"I was no longer needed then."

"Get the church's approval and tell the church that potatoes are growing in this farm town, and the value of the potatoes can be guaranteed. The premise is to convince the mayor. You don't want this farm town to be poor forever, do you?"

Doyle's face darkened, he took a deep breath, and said, "Get out."

"what……"

"Get out."

Doyle chased away the guests repeatedly, and Yu Xiasheng had to leave the church.

On the way back, Yu Xiasheng was depressed, "Why is Daoyer unwilling to help when he can help the town?"

Doyle has always worked for the well-being of the farming town, and Doyle is not ignorant of the benefits of potatoes.

"A place to stay." Nigeya patted Yu Xiasheng to please him.Yu Xiasheng looked at Nigeya suspiciously, and after a while, Nigeya said: "If the church comes, he must leave."

Yu Xiasheng was stunned.

Doyle is a false priest and must leave before the church arrives.Once the potatoes reach the ears of the church, it will inevitably cause Doyle to lose his current place.

"Ah!" Yu Xiasheng wailed.

Although he hated Doyle, and the relationship with Doyle was only a contract, Yu Xiasheng was still reluctant to take away people's places.

"Let's convince the mayor together tomorrow."

Nigga comforted.

"That's the only way to go." Yu Xiasheng sighed.
