Time to harvest some phlogiston.
It is a complex process not made any simpler by your lack of proper equipment, but after several tries you have a vial of Phlogiston, the essence of fire. It smells of smoke; it looks like smoke, some might even say; hey, that is just a vial of smoke, but they did not just spend several hours pissing about with vats of dirty water and a pair bellows to acquire this 'smoke'. Also, this 'smoke' will make anything with which it is mixed flammable.
Why did you do this again?
It is 39 days since you returned home. It is late afternoon.

Question, what exactly are the benefits of owning a potato farm? Do we get potatoes?
Come harvest you will get part of the profit. Also if the farm increases in value you could sell it to someone else.
But really it is just to make you look more normal.
