Chapter 259 Distribution of Potatoes
Kong Jie had already thought about the distribution of the 2000 catties of potatoes that came out.

It is definitely reluctant to eat.

This is the first batch of mother and son grown from the improved potato.

In addition, there was no potato virus-free technology during this period, and potatoes were easily infected by viruses. Once the virus invaded potato plants and tubers, it would cause serious degradation of potatoes and cause various diseases, resulting in a sharp drop in potato production.

In other words, the first crop of potatoes must be the best in quality, even close to the original [-] catties of good-bred potatoes, and the yield will not decrease much.

"Two hundred catties of it were distributed to Uncle Zhao and the folks in the farming team."

"Take two hundred catties and send it to Ding Wei. I heard that during the time of the raid, Ding Wei's new regiment has a lot of steel and copper in reserve, plus ten machine guns. Lao Ding has a good eye. Poor, you can definitely see the potential value of these two hundred catties of fine-bred potatoes."

"Leave two hundred catties to Lao Li. I'm sure we can't hide this matter from him, and I'll make a fortune by the way."

"By the way, I still have to leave five hundred catties to send to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters will distribute them. Sooner or later, the brigade commander will think about these potatoes and send them over in advance, so as to get some benefits."

"The rest is about [-] catties. As seeds, if we sow under normal conditions, about [-] catties per mu of land is enough to plant about three mu of land. When we harvest next time, the yield can be increased by more than ten times. , the independent group can be regarded as a big potato family."

Because he was too absorbed in thinking, Kong Jie did not recover when the second battalion commander Shen Quan entered the room.

"Captain, what are you?"

It wasn't until Shen Quan opened his mouth that Kong Jie came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "For the 2000 catties of potatoes we harvested this time, how do we distribute them?"

Speaking of potatoes, Shen Quan was also very emotional when he learned about this.

"Captain, no wonder you told me before that no matter how many people there are in our independent group, it will never be a problem to eat. I didn't believe it at first, but this time this half acre of potatoes actually produced more than 2000 Jin, I completely believe it."

"Captain, when it comes to this, I can't wait, I want to taste how this batch of potatoes tastes."

Kong Jie scolded with a dark face: "Your idea of ​​buying these potatoes less, this is an important batch of potatoes mother and son, it is the foundation of our independent group can really make a fortune, I still count on it to do business!"

"Speaking of business, these days I asked you to take people to Niukou Village to investigate the surrounding terrain and terrain. How are you doing?"

Shen Quan said: "Don't worry, the leader, the investigation has been completed, and even the map of Niukou Village has been drawn for you."

Shen Quan is a smart guy. This time, Kong Jie asked him to send someone to investigate the situation in Niukou Village. Before contacting him, he and Kong Jie said that there was no money to be made around the Independence Regiment's base.

Shen Quan had a guess in his heart, "Leader, are we planning to move and change the residence?"

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Smart, it's meaningless to stay in the area where we are stationed. In addition, according to the expanding scale of our independent group, this station is not enough to support us. I have been thinking about it for a long time in Niukou Village. It will be a good place, it is already close to the border of Shuozhou, and it is not too far from the Shahukou at the junction of northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia."

"That place is not like our garrison. There are too many mountains, and it is much more convenient to cultivate farmland. Our cavalry company has also been used, which is more conducive to our development. In addition, according to the defense area of ​​our Eighth Route Army, there is a vacancy in that place. I think the headquarters will make up for it sooner or later."

Shen Quan said: "But the regiment commander, can the brigade commander agree? After all, we are stationed well now."

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already planned it, and the brigade commander will agree."

……

Brigade.

Kong Jie brought Monk Wei and several soldiers from the guard company to bring two carts of potatoes to the brigade.

When a group of people arrived at the place, the brigade commander and the political commissar were a little curious when they heard about it, so they rushed over.

The political commissar smiled and said: "Kong Jie, you are being too polite. Come to the brigade and bring some gifts for me and the political commissar. I think the size of this potato is not bad, so I arranged for the cooking team to do it later. The comrades in the brigade will have extra meals."

Kong Jie hurriedly said, "Political Commissar, I'm sending this batch of potatoes, not for the big guys."

The brigade commander said happily: "That's strange, your potatoes are not for eating, what are they for?"

Kong Jie replied: "Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, you don't know. This batch of potatoes is different from the local potatoes we usually eat. I used fifty catties of potatoes to plant half an acre of land. It took nearly three months to harvest, and the yield was not much, only more than 150 catties."

As soon as the output was said, the brigade commander and the political commissar immediately realized the problem.

"Fifty catties of potatoes, mother and son, half an acre of land, harvested more than 2000 catties, Kong Jie, what do you mean, the yield per mu of your batch of potatoes can even be as high as more than 4000 catties?" The brigade commander immediately saw something wrong .

Kong Jie nodded and said: "Brigade Commander, it's a fluke. When I fought against the Japanese cavalry squadron last time, I found a batch of potatoes in the devil's team. At that time, I thought that the little devil's potatoes were big It’s also big, and the potato skin looks crystal clear, so it’s probably a good variety.”

"Potatoes are considered one of the high-yield crops. I tried to make seeds from these [-] catties of potatoes. I asked Uncle Zhao and his team with rich farming experience to help them cultivate and planted half an acre of land. It turned out that this batch of potatoes The variety is excellent, and the yield is astonishing.”

"This is much higher than the yield per mu of our local potatoes."

"If you keep planting like this, once you harvest, the yield can be increased dozens of times compared with potato seeds. According to this momentum, if you don't need a few crops, hundreds of catties can become thousands of catties, and thousands of catties can become tens of thousands of catties. Boss, tell me, if these potatoes are really properly utilized and planted, will our team still be hungry? At worst, we can have potatoes to eat."

"In the north of our country, there are many people in many areas. This potato is one of the staple foods. In addition, it is not easy to spoil, easy to store, and lasts for a long time. The key is that it can be eaten as a vegetable. As long as the quantity of potatoes is sufficient, we are There is also food and vegetables, which can be used as the basic security crops in our Eighth Route Army base areas."

When Kong Jie said this, the brigade commander and the political commissar didn't know the astonishing value of the two carts and potatoes in front of them.

The brigade commander said: "I heard that your independent regiment invited some folks a while ago to plant some potatoes in the base area. So that's what happened."

The political commissar immediately arranged for people, and the soldiers repeatedly asked: "Pull this car of potatoes, be sure to store them well, and explain clearly to the logistics side. These are not potatoes for everyone to eat. They are our important military strategic materials." .”

"Yes!" The soldier in charge also heard Kong Jie's previous words, carefully led the people, and pulled away the two carts of potatoes.

In everyone's eyes, these two carts of potatoes are no longer potatoes, but have become life-saving food that can feed the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the entire base area.

The political commissar was very emotional about this, "Kong Jie, if the situation is as you said, this batch of potatoes is very important, and you have made great contributions again."

The brigade commander on the side didn't speak, but waited for Kong Jie to speak.

Kong Jie coughed dryly, and said, "Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, in fact, I came here this time to discuss something with the two leaders."

The brigade commander immediately showed such an expression, and said happily: "Political commissar, you see, I knew this kid would not give us a cart of potatoes for no reason, there must be an article later."

Kong Jie: "..."

The political commissar said with a smile: "Brigade Commander, no matter what, these two carts of potatoes are indeed a great gift. For this great gift, we should also listen to what Comrade Kong Jie wants to discuss with us."

The brigade commander said: "That's not bad, that's enough, Kong Jie, let's talk about it after entering the room first, it's really cold outside today."

"Yes!" Kong Jie responded...
