Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 115 Students' Confusion

The next day, in addition to the students from Shu Xiaoxiao's military class, Shen Guanqing, Zhou Hekang, and Cao Yixing from the liberal arts class also came.

Although these three people have not tasted peppers, they have tasted cucumbers and tomatoes, and they were still not satisfied. So when they heard about the new variety of sweet potatoes, they were very eager to try it.

Fortunately, the three of them had excellent grades. They found the teacher and said that they had some questions about farming recently and wanted to experience it personally. They hoped that their articles could be closer to people's livelihood, rather than just being superficial and flashy.

As soon as this reason came out, the Master directly agreed to the three people's request.

It seems that this kind of treatment for good students is not a modern phenomenon, but has been passed down from our ancestors.

If a student with poor academic performance said this, the teacher would directly tell him to go back and memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, so he still has to study hard!

Led by the teacher, the group happily came to the sweet potato field on the back mountain.

Shanzhang, Yun Qinghan, Huo Feng and others were already waiting beside the sweet potato field.

Next to it were the sickle and backpack that Shu Xiaoxiao had asked for yesterday.

After the leader, Master Wei, greeted the headmaster, he immediately looked at Shu Xiaoxiao and asked, "How do we do this?"

He looked like he was ready to do it himself.

As for the magical thing that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu, it would be fine if he didn't know about it, but now that it's right in front of him, of course he wants to try it himself. Isn't this human nature?

What's wrong?

Seeing Shu Xiaoxiao's surprised expression, Master Wei coughed and looked at Shu Xiaoxiao firmly.

He must take part in harvesting sweet potatoes. Doesn’t he see that the headmaster is also eager to try?

Actually, sweet potatoes are indeed a new thing for them, but at the beginning, without anyone to guide them, they may not know where to start. But as for harvesting, let alone those who don’t know how to harvest them, the mountain chief, Yun Qinghan, and Huo Feng who have eaten sweet potatoes will know what is going on at a glance in the field.

The talent for planting buried deep in the soul of the flower-growing family is absolutely unquestionable.

The reason why they were waiting for Shu Xiaoxiao was because it was Shu Xiaoxiao who discovered the sweet potatoes and she was the one who planted them. Now the harvest should be presided over by her. Only then would they feel more real and more at ease. Otherwise, it would always feel like a dream.

Shu Xiaoxiao touched his nose and whispered, "To harvest sweet potatoes, you first need to cut off the vines with a sickle or pull them off with your hands, then dig the soil around the sweet potatoes and dig the sweet potatoes out of the soil."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Be careful when digging sweet potatoes. If the skin is damaged, it will be difficult to store. Just dig out the sweet potatoes intact."

After confirming that Shu Xiaoxiao had finished speaking, the headmaster said directly: "Everyone listen carefully, be careful, and start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down first to cut the sweet potato vines. Master Wei also took action immediately. The people present were stunned. They didn't know why they suddenly became anxious, as if they didn't take action, they would have no chance.

But this is not just about giving out money, this is about doing work!

Don't you usually start by encouraging people to get the morale up before you start anything? Is the start so fast this time?

Are you going to work this time?

right?

I always feel that this time it seems very strange.

Although they were puzzled, after seeing the actions of the dean and Master Wei, they immediately picked up their sickles. Those who had sickles used them to cut, and those who didn't have any didn't hesitate and just pulled the weeds directly.

They were all young men who practiced martial arts, so pulling a sweet potato vine was nothing to them. Some of them used sickles, but it was much slower than using their hands, so they simply abandoned the sickles and used their hands.

The students, teachers, the headmaster, Huo Feng and others present were bent over and working hard. The yellow sweet potato vines became fewer and fewer, and some sweet potatoes slowly showed their heads.
