Fleeing from famine and farming: there is space for the full-level boss

Chapter 45 Confusion

"Humph, I didn't!"

Chu Munan turned around angrily: "I just felt sore and uncomfortable when I woke up this morning, so I asked you."

After that, Chu Munan said no more, turned and walked to the bed, and then sat there without saying a word.

"Xiangxiang, come quickly!"

At this time, Li Cui's voice came from outside.

Ruan Xiangxiang walked to the balcony, looked down, and saw Li Cui standing in the ground downstairs, dancing and looking crazy.

Ruan Xiangxiang went downstairs and said calmly: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Li Cui pointed to the potato seedlings in the field: "Xiangxiang, look at this crop, it's growing so well. How is this possible? We just planted it yesterday."

"It's probably crops like potatoes that grow faster."

"But it's too fast."

"Isn't it good to grow up quickly?"

"It's good, it's just..."

Ruan Sanbao came over and said, "Sister, when will these potatoes be harvested?"

"Ten days and a half month."

Ruan Sanbao immediately clapped his hands and applauded.

Although Chu Munan was angry, he kept his ears open to listen to what was going on outside.

He was really curious, so he limped to the balcony and looked down. He saw that in the ground below, tender seedlings about a foot long were growing neatly.

He was also puzzled. The book said potatoes grew faster, but it didn't say they grew so fast.

Recalling that Ruan Xiangxiang deliberately charmed him last night, Chu Munan felt that Ruan Xiangxiang must be hiding some secret from him.

In the following days, Ruan Xiangxiang would not go out in the middle of the night to encourage potatoes to grow, but would spend an afternoon taking care of the fields every day.

When she was taking care of the crops, she secretly spawned potatoes, which made Chu Munan unable to catch it for a while.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the potato vines in the field were intertwined and growing gratifyingly.

After Ruan Xiangxiang finished her lunch, she went to the fields with her hoe.

Ruan Sanbao quickly followed.

Chu Munan's leg injury has improved a lot after these days of recovery, and he can walk on his own.

Although Ruan Xiangxiang did not tell him the secret, he himself was vaguely aware that Ruan Xiangxiang had abilities that others did not have.

He stood under the eaves and watched Ruan Xiangxiang dig out a nest of white and fat potatoes.

Over there, Ruan Sanbao happily picked up the potatoes into the bamboo basket, and Ruan Xiangxiang dug another nest.

What she did was the most common thing for a peasant girl, but every movement revealed an unusual elegance.

Maybe, my sister is a little fairy sent by God.

When Chu Munan thought about it, he felt relieved. He ran over and reached out to grab Ruan Xiangxiang's hoe.

"Sister, I'm coming."

Ruan Xiangxiang glanced at him: "No, your leg injury is not fully healed yet, just watch from the side."

Chu Munan was willing to watch on the sidelines, and together with Ruan Sanbao, put the potatoes dug out by Ruan Xiangxiang into bamboo baskets.

That night, Ruan Xiangxiang made a pot of tiger meat braised with potato rice.

The potatoes were soft and fragrant, and the meat was full of flavor. Everyone had a round belly after eating it.

Li Cui said: "Xiangxiang, this potato is really good. It can grow so well in a dry place. If we take it home and distribute it to the villagers for planting, then everyone will not have to go out to escape the famine."

Ruan Xiangxiang's heart tightened. She had also thought about this issue during this period of time.

If word about growing potatoes spreads, many people will want to follow them and grow potatoes.

Although potatoes can produce good yields and are indeed cold and drought tolerant, they can never be planted so quickly.

These days, she had also thought about her words. After hearing what Li Cui said, she immediately stood up and closed the doors and windows.
