Chapter 136 Is This the Black Market?
"Let's go find someone to pick up the potatoes. Some have been washed out, and some need to be dug."
Lin Wanshu couldn't wait to take people up the mountain.
"Okay, I'll find someone."
Qin Yan nodded and went out to look for someone.
The little soldiers just heard Lin Wanshu say that she found a lot of food, and they were all looking forward to waiting for her.
Now seeing her coming back, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Where is the food, sister-in-law? Lead the way, we'll go get it."
"Sister-in-law, what did you find and how much is there?"
The young soldiers gathered around her and asked her questions, one after another.
Lin Wanshu didn't keep anyone in suspense.
"It was a potato, probably weighing three to four thousand kilograms, that was washed out by the mudslide."
When the soldiers heard that there were three or four thousand kilograms of potatoes, they immediately became excited!
"We have food!"
"We have food now, and it will last us a few more days!"
But after cheering, many people were confused.
"What kind of potato is a foot potato?"
It’s no wonder they have never heard of it. After all, the soldiers come from all over the world.
Many people have never seen this kind of thing.
"Foot potato is foot potato, it looks like the sole of a foot, and the largest one is this big!"
Someone opened his hand and measured a size of about 30 to 40 centimeters. The soldiers, who had never seen a potato bark before, couldn't help but gasp!
"Such a big potato, wouldn't it be enough for several people to eat it with just one potato?"
When they thought about the huge potatoes on the mountain, they wanted to fly up there and dig them up.
When Yu Fangfang saw Lin Wanshu coming out, she hurried forward.
"Hey, Wanwan, did your old Qin scold you?"
Why did she see Qin Yan’s face looking unhappy just now?
Lin Wanshu nodded.
"Yeah, I said a few words."
Hearing this, Yu Fangfang's mouth almost opened into an O shape.
How incredible! Who in the family compound didn't know how much Qin Yan loved his wife? Would he be willing to scold someone?
It’s not her old Feng!
Lin Wanshu: …
"He said it was too dangerous for me to go up the mountain rashly."
Hearing this, Yu Fangfang immediately understood.
It was also a blessing that her husband, Mr. Feng, was not here, otherwise she would definitely have been scolded.
When she thought of Feng Yandong's stern face, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Lin Wanshu couldn't help but laugh when she saw how timid she looked when Feng Yandong was mentioned.
"Is your Deputy Captain Feng so scary? Why are you so afraid of him?"
It is obvious that she not only cooks but also washes clothes. In the entire staff compound, there is no military wife who lives a more carefree life than Yu Fangfang.
Hearing this, Yu Fangfang looked a little uncomfortable.
"You do not understand."
How could she be afraid of him?
She was afraid that he would get angry and torment her endlessly at night!
Hearing her bold words in her ear, Lin Wanshu's face suddenly turned red.
What does it mean to be afraid of being unable to walk like she was that day?
She's not that miserable, is she?
Nonsence!
Is this the point? The point is, when did she see it?
It seemed that the vines planted on the fence grew too slowly and she had no privacy.
Soon, Qin Yan came over with a team of soldiers.
Seeing his wife's rosy cheeks, he couldn't help feeling a little strange.
But he didn't think much about it and let her walk beside him to lead the way.
"Wanwan, wait for me, I'm going too."
Yu Fangfang picked up a hoe and hurried after him.
The potatoes she had just dug out haven't been dug out yet.
The villagers were far away and didn't hear what they said.
Seeing them going up the mountain in such a large group, everyone was very curious.
"What happened? Why did they all go up the mountain?"
Someone asked, his face full of eagerness to follow.
"I was close just now and heard the soldier's wife say that she found a lot of potato chips on the mountain."
When the villagers heard that she had found the foot potato, they couldn't help but get excited.
"Are you serious? She just found the foot potato?"
It turns out that they used to have yams here, but there was famine in those years and the tree bark was almost eaten up. How could there be any yams left?
All the seeds were eaten, and no one here has grown potatoes in more than ten years.
Now that they heard that the military wife had found the potato chips, how could they not be excited?
"Come on, let's go up the mountain and cut some heads back."
This time they have to preserve the seeds of the potato well.
After all, this thing is not only filling, but also has high yield and is easy to grow.
It can be planted on both flat land and mountainous areas.
As long as their team grows this thing, why would they have to worry about going hungry?
Thinking of this, the villagers could not stay any longer and all ran up the mountain.
Soon, they followed the team and arrived at the cave on Dongtou Mountain.
After seeing the large piece of potato washed out, everyone was shocked!
“So many foot potatoes!”
The captain picked up a potato that was about 20 to 30 centimeters in size, and his voice trembled.
Others couldn't help but cheer out loud.
"Thank you, Comrade Military Wives, you are truly the benefactors of our Shangpo Brigade!"
The captain said to Lin Wanshu and Yu Fangfang with a grateful look on his face.
With these potato seeds, even if they suffer such a great disaster, they will recover quickly.
After all, this thing is really easy to grow and has a high yield.
Apart from anything else, there will definitely be no problem with Gu Ming.
"Captain, you're welcome. We just bumped into each other by accident."
Lin Wanshu quickly replied.
But after hearing this, the villagers became even more grateful to her.
What a great military wife.
We have been busy these days, providing them with treatment and preparing delicious food for them, and now we have found so much food for them.
How could they not be moved by this?
Yu Fangfang couldn't wait to dig the potatoes. After hearing what the captain said, she waved her hand.
"My fellow countryman, the purpose of our army is to serve the people. You don't need to thank me so much. Go and dig some potatoes."
She could also dig up the few plants she owned.
Hearing this, the team leader didn't say anything more, but instead directed the villagers to help dig up the potatoes.
Qin Yan had already explored the terrain and made sure there would be no more landslides underneath before he let everyone come down to dig up the toad potatoes.
"Captain, why are there so many potato chips here? And it looks like they are piled up here."
A soldier felt strange and asked.
Qin Yan was standing in front of a broken mud wall at the moment. Hearing this, he responded casually.
“Probably the black market.”
Hearing this, the villagers couldn't help but gasp.
"Comrade Soldier, you said this is a black market?"
No wonder this pit is so big!
How many people can be accommodated in here!
