If stored in a cellar, it can even be stored for 6 months.

If it is made into dried potatoes or sweet potatoes, it is not a problem to store it for more than one year.

They will send these potatoes and sweet potatoes to the trading market. The trading market will also judge the humidity of the potatoes they send and give points that can be exchanged for one pound.

The higher the water content, the fewer potatoes will be weighed per pound.

Aunt Zhao went to cook, Zheng Hanbing went to dry the potatoes, and Lin Lu took people to sweep the newly planted potato field again.

Lin Muguang took the rest of the people to harvest the remaining one acre of sweet potatoes.

...........

Half an hour later, Aunt Zhao came and shouted to everyone:

"It's time to eat!"

Lin Lu wiped his sweat, put the pickaxe in his hand aside, and shouted to his father and others who were working in the sweet potato field: "It's time to eat."

There is a faint aroma of potatoes in the air.

Logically speaking, food is extremely scarce in the apocalypse. The cleanest way to eat potatoes is to clean the soil on the surface of the potatoes with water, then cut them into small pieces, boil them in water, and flatten them into mashed potatoes.

.

but.

Now they are short of water, and the water tanks in the kitchen can only sustain them for a few days.

After consuming all the water, they ran out of water to drink, and how could they be willing to use water to clean the soil on the surface of the potatoes.

Baking potatoes is the most water-saving way.

Everyone worked hard all morning, their upper and lower bodies were soaked through, and their throats were filled with smoke.

As soon as I entered the yard, I looked for water.

Aunt Zhao had already prepared water for them, which was carried up in buckets a few days ago before the lake at the foot of the mountain dried up.

They boiled the water and let it cool for drinking.

Lin Lu picked up the gourd gourd, scooped up the water in the plastic bucket, and drank. After drinking a whole gourd of water, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gululu——

His stomach rumbled.

Aunt Zhao came out of the kitchen, carrying a bamboo basket of overripe potatoes.

clatter!

She placed the bamboo basket on the wooden table in the yard.

They built a pergola over the area near the gate of the yard, which they painstakingly built using wood and bamboo.

But they have to leave here after harvesting the crops on the ground.

Looking at the yard and the house in front of him, Lin Lu felt filled with reluctance.

This time in Zhonghua Mountain was the most beautiful time since his last days.

The terrain of this place is high and there are cliffs everywhere. Normal zombies can't get up there, so it's safe.

And few survivors will find this place, it's like a peach garden.

They work hard here to farm and harvest food.

pity......

When the drought hit, they couldn't replenish water in the mountains and had no choice but to leave.

But thankfully, this time of grain planting can be regarded as the biggest harvest since they planted crops many times in the last days.

In the past, the crops they planted would be harvested very little due to natural disasters, zombies, or other surviving thugs before the harvest season came.

This time, it can be called a bumper harvest.

Although the drought came, there was still a good harvest of food.

Soon, Lin Muguang and others returned to the small courtyard from the ground.

Under drought, handwashing has become a luxury.

There's nothing you can do about it because your whole body smells like sweat. There isn't much water now, so you need to use it sparingly.

Bathing is too luxurious.

They also need to harvest and dry these potatoes and sweet potatoes, which takes at least three days.

Moreover, it will take time to send these potatoes and sweet potatoes to the trading market for sale later.

Naturally, it is impossible to transport it all in one trip. Even if the road to the trading market is now safe and they can use wheelbarrows to transport it, they still cannot transport it all in one trip.

Calculating this, some of them will have to stay here for at least five days.

For five days, they all had to drink water. It was a luxury to use it to bathe and wash their hands!

"It smells so good!" Zheng Zheng walked into the yard.

"But why is it roasted? On this hot day, the more you eat, the thirstier you become."

Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "It's better to drink water when you are thirsty than to waste water on washing potatoes."

She simply believed that it was better to pour water into her stomach than to wash the mud off the potatoes.

The potatoes in the bamboo basket piled up into a hill.

Each of them took two, peeled them off and showed off.

Because it was roasted, they felt thirsty after eating too much, so they drank water and ate the potatoes.

After half an hour, they didn't take a break.

Go ahead and give away the remaining sweet potatoes.

After they peeled the potatoes and sweet potatoes, they dug them back and forth four or five times, and then dug out some scattered potatoes and sweet potatoes.

It wasn't until the last pass that no two pieces of potatoes came out that I gave up.

It is getting late and the sun is setting in the west.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes they left to dry in the open space outside the yard were not collected.

After all, potatoes and sweet potatoes are easily damaged during the collection process, which affects the storage time.

In addition, it seems that it is unlikely to rain recently, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes still need to be dried for a day or two, so they will not put them away.

As for whether someone will steal it, it's unlikely.

There are cliffs all around, and the only way up is the plank road. The plank road was destroyed by them, making it impossible for ordinary people to get up.

The only thing that comes up is wall-climbing zombies, but wall-climbing zombies don't eat potatoes.

It's very safe to put it outside the yard.
