After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 35 Gossip in the Village

"The crop we planted just now is called potatoes." Qin Yudao said, "This thing is very common outside. It is an extremely common agricultural product. It is planted on a large scale in the north."

Is there a large area of ​​cultivation in the north?After hearing this, Xu Da expressed his doubts. I just came back from the Northern Expedition, and I have never seen the northerners plant or eat them. Could it be that what I experienced was a fake Northern Expedition?

What looks like a northern expedition is actually a southern expedition?
"Mr. Qin, how should I take care of these potatoes after they are planted, how should they be fertilized, whether they are afraid of drought, and whether they are squeamish? How long does it take to harvest them, and how is the harvest?" Xu Da asked.Lu Dazhuang also looked at Qin Yu, and the question Xu Da asked was exactly what he wanted to ask.

"Potato is not a squeamish crop at all. Even if you leave it in a corner and do nothing, it can take root and sprout." Qin Yudao, "So daily care is basically unnecessary, and it is a very 'cheap'. Crops can easily grow vigorously and have high yields. As for top dressing, just give it a little farmyard manure every month.”

A cheap crop?Lu Dazhuang and Xu Da listened and nodded their satisfaction.Such crops are the best, not easy to die and very suitable for farmers to grow.If it is too squeamish, it is only suitable for rich ladies to take back as ornamental plants.

"As for the yield, the average yield of potatoes is about [-] catties per mu." Qin Yudao said, "Like the vegetable field in front of us, the estimated yield after harvest is about [-] catties, and it only takes half a year to harvest."

"And the nutritional value of potatoes is very high, very hungry for a day." Qin Yu said.

The yield per mu is five thousand catties, which is three hundred stone! ?
After half a year, this small vegetable field can harvest [-] stone! ?

Lu Dazhuang and Xu Da were stunned when they heard it. That is to say, after half a year, Lu Dazhuang's family can achieve the goal of not going hungry and have surplus food with only this small vegetable plot!

What kind of fairy crop is this!

"Mr. Qin, are you deceiving me, an honest farmer?" Lu Dazhuang's voice trembled, "I've never heard of a crop with a yield of [-] stone per mu, and I can't even dream of it."

"Father, how can you doubt what Mr. said?" Before Qin Yu could answer Lu Qingqian, he said, "Mr. is so kind, can he lie to us, and there is no need to lie to us."

"The girl is right," Lu Dazhuang nodded. "With Mr.'s character, he will never lie to us. It's just... the output that Mr. said is really hard to believe." You must know that Lujia Village The previous grain yield was only three buckets of sorghum per mu. It was buckets instead of stones. Compared with three buckets, the yield of three hundred sorghums increased by a thousand times.

"That's right, the yield of three hundred stones per mu is really scary." Xu Da said, "I am also a farmer who has grown grain for half my life, and I have never heard of any crops in the world with such a high yield."

"If this is the case, this potato is simply a crop from the sky, brought down from the sky by Mr. Qin."

"Mr. is an immortal descended to earth?" Lu Dazhuang turned his head to look at Qin Yu suspiciously.

Potatoes are crops brought down from the sky, and gods also grow food?Hearing the conversation of several people, Qin Yu smiled, but did not refute, just liked the way they had never seen the world.

"Okay, it's all done, just wait for half a year to see the results." Qin Yu clapped the soil on his hands, "Xu Da, let's go back first. Brother Zhuang, although potatoes do not need special care, we still need to take precautions. Sabotaged by wild boars and hares."

To Xu Dao: "Today we are very busy, and we have to prepare teaching aids and so on for the students."

In the past, he volunteered in remote mountain villages. The textbooks, schoolbags, and learning tools used by students, including the chalk used by teachers, were donated and used by well-meaning people.But this time is different. Lujia Village is completely closed, and everything needs to be prepared by him.

And replace it with something very old.

It's like surviving in the wild, you can't use a lighter to ignite and you have to drill a log to make a fire.

All this is a new challenge for him.

After walking for a while, he turned his head and said to Lu Dazhuang: "Brother Dazhuang, I asked your family to plant potatoes because of the face that Qingqian took care of me in those few days. If there is a good harvest of potatoes in the future, the whole family will be able to grow potatoes. When she is full, it is all due to her alone. So you can't stop her from going to school when she wants to go to school." He was kidnapped with good intentions.

"Everything is up to Mr. Lu." Lu Dazhuang kept nodding his head.

……

"Have you heard? Mr. Qin went to Da Zhuang's house just now, and wanted Da Zhuang to send his daughter Qingqian to school." By the stream at the entrance of the village, several rural women were washing clothes. Place it on a smooth stone and tap it lightly with a mallet.The crowd chattered as they pounded their clothes, and the speaker was a woman in her 30s.

She is the daughter-in-law of villager Lu Dashan. She has given birth to five children in her thirties.

A remote mountain village can't hide any secrets.

Qin Yu's going to Da Zhuang's house has already been known to them.

"Dashan daughter-in-law, how did you know about this?" asked a young woman next to her.She is about seventeen or eighteen years old, very beautiful, and is the daughter-in-law of villager Lu Dahong.

Married to Lujia Village at the age of five as a child bride. When she was 11 years old, her husband died in an accident while hunting in the mountains.Now the widow stays at home to take care of her elderly mother-in-law. She is a widow, and people in the village say that she is still a yellow flower.

Because she has always kept the festival for her husband, she grew up in Lujia Village since she was a child, and she has been recognized by the villagers, who regard her as one of their own.I believe that when she is 80 years old, the clan will set up a chastity archway for her.

"I overheard it outside Da Zhuang's house just now." Dashan's daughter-in-law said.Rural women, because there are no entertainment programs, are not satisfied with the spirit, so they like to inquire about some gossip and gossip news.

"Mr. Qin wants Lu Qingqian to go to school?" The crowd was shocked, the villager Lu Daqing's daughter-in-law said, "Girls have never read books since ancient times. Mr. Qin is trying to break the rules that have been handed down for thousands of years? Why does he want to Do it."

"Why? It's not because I fell in love with the girl Qingqian." Dali's wife said, "I heard that when Mr. Qin was injured, the girl from the Dazhuang family took good care of him on the mountain for more than ten days. In order to repay Mr. Qin, Coupled with the long-term relationship, I want to accept her as a personal maid."

"The girl Qingqian is attentive and gentle, and she looks very good. It makes sense that Mr. Qin wants her to be a maid." The young widow Xiaoxiao said, "And Qingqian is already twelve years old this year. , I can be a maid in a big family. Mr. Qin is a scholar with good knowledge and kindness. It is her good fortune to be able to look at the shallow."
