Chapter 318
"Potatoes, yield two or twenty stones per mu!

Sweet potatoes, yield per mu... ten or twelve stones! "

When Hu Yanqing finally participated in counting the harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes in these acres, Hu Yanqing felt dizzy.

Before he told this astonishing birth rate, he silently calculated over and over again whether he had made a mistake in his calculation. He calculated it several times before he dared to speak it out.

"Oh my God!"

All the farmers in the surrounding villages were in a panic!

"So much food?!"

"Is this food sent by God?"

"We can all plant this and this next year, right?"

Everyone who witnessed the digging of potatoes and sweet potatoes was extremely excited. Seeing this, Mei Berry turned to look at Gu Yan, who still had a straight face and could not see any emotion or anger. After thinking about the other person's previous expectations, he stepped forward cautiously. road:
"The land here is not fertile enough. Even if we pile some fertilizer, it doesn't seem to be as much as you expected?"

"It's already very good. I've never seen so much food growing on one acre of land."

Gu Yan, who didn't know that his facial paralysis made Meiberry misunderstand that he was dissatisfied, recovered from the shock.

There is so much fertilizer in the fields that we can’t keep up. No wonder King Yong’s letter said that the yield per mu would be almost thirty shi!
"I wonder how the fertilizer Xiangjun mentioned is made. If no fertilizer is added, what is the minimum amount that can be produced?"

"Well...if there is fertilizer, of course you need to add fertilizer. I don't know if you don't add fertilizer. But you have to have seven or eight stones, right?"

Mayberry answered somewhat uncertainly.

"Seven or eight stones..."

This is also very satisfying. After all, the average yield per mu these days is only two or three stones, and even a good one is only five stones.

And in the land here in Yanbei, one or two stones are often found.

Now that Meigui has brought back such crops, some superstitious old people in Zhuangzi are almost ready to offer Meigui an immortal tablet.

After that, Meiberry and Dachen will also discuss what kind of harvest conference will be held tonight.

Take out some of the harvested potatoes and sweet potatoes, and slaughter a few sheep for everyone to have a good meal together.

For a new crop, high yield is one thing, but whether it tastes good or not is also very important!
So in the evening, a group of people ate a series of new foods including roasted pork with potatoes, roasted potatoes with salt and pepper, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato corn steamed buns, and stir-fried shredded potatoes.

When everyone ate it, they were so shocked by the taste of the food that they were speechless.

"These potatoes are used as military rations. Just roast them and add some salt and eat them! They're so delicious!"

"I like roasted sweet potatoes, they are sweet and you don't need to add any salt."

Gu Hou was in a very good mood as he listened to the soldiers beside him eating the new food and discussing.

His eyes fell on Mayberry sitting among a group of staff, and for a moment he couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle.

In my heart, I was amazed by Xie Changxu's eyesight, and compared it with my youngest son——

Gu Yan took another look at Gu Pinglu, who was sitting next to him and engrossed in cooking. From time to time, he chatted with several soldiers about how this would be used as military food. His heart was very complicated.

Forget it.

Gu Yan sighed, but at this time, the old mother sitting next to him gave him a piece of steamed steamed buns and said: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don't worry about it."

Seeing his old mother who was more open-minded than he thought, Gu Yan's heart became more and more complicated.

"Mom, can you tell your son everything?"

"No, eat."

The old lady was eating potatoes and roasted meat very arrogantly, and she also gouged out her unlucky grandson in a place where no one was paying attention.

well!Won't seize the opportunity!

Sure enough, I have a son.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but glare at her son.

Gu Yan was acting like a good son, eating the sweet potato buns given by his mother, but he suddenly felt aggrieved when his own mother glared at him.

As an old father, is there anything wrong with him caring about his son's emotional life? , why are you staring at him?
·
Mei Mei, who had been noticed by Gu Yan earlier, was currently discussing potatoes and sweet potatoes with several staff members from her sister and Gu Hou.

"I haven't found anything particularly bad so far, but when I was in Xianyao in the spring, I noticed that some potatoes in Zhuangzi seemed to be poisonous when they turned green and sprouted. The rest of the time, they were edible and not poisonous. .”

Mei Qian was still thinking that Gu Hou had so few questions. Although she was surprised by the yield of this new crop, she didn't ask herself many questions later.

The result is not that others don't care, but that people who care about and are good at talking to themselves.

"Can this replace all the food currently produced?" Listening to Mr. Bai's question next to Gu Hou, Mei Bei glanced at the teacher who was sitting aside and suddenly opened his eyes to look at him. Mei Bei shook his head.

"It's not enough to go too far. There are also grain yields per mu, but I didn't mention just one species.

If you only plant these for a year or two during times of famine or emergency, forget it.How is it possible to grow only potatoes and sweet potatoes under normal circumstances? "

Mayberry remembered that there seemed to be some kind of disease about potatoes. If there was a problem with large-scale planting, it would be a big disaster.

[System, will our potatoes or sweet potatoes get any diseases? 】

[Through system selection, you can rest assured that the host has been selected. The genes of our food are very good.But don’t just plant potatoes and sweet potatoes on the same piece of land all the time. It’s best to plant them in rotation with other grains, which is good for the land. 】

While Mayberry communicated with the system about the details of potatoes and sweet potatoes, he also talked non-stop with several staff gentlemen who were well versed in farming.

Hu Yanqing, on the other hand, remained silent, but his eyes fell on Mei Berry from time to time, thoughtfully.

As a student, he was quite knowledgeable.

"It's so good, so good oooooooooo..."

Unlike Mei You, Gu Yan and others who were filled with joy because of the high yield of food, some people who had experienced war, famine and floods, and were taken in by Zhuangzi, could not help but feel sad in their hearts after eating these delicious high yield food.

"If my father had eaten these, he wouldn't have starved to death..."

"If my daughter could survive until now..."

"If we have these, no one among us will starve to death in the future, right?"

A group of people were crying and laughing, and Jie Yi, who was sitting at the back and eating baked potatoes, heard clearly. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jie Dachen, who looked confused beside him.

"At that time, thanks to Mr. Jie, my father was able to eat well in his last days and leave with dignity."

Xie Dachen noticed the worried look that Xie Yi looked over and knew that the other party also saw what he was thinking just now.

"I heard from my sister that my father had advised you not to sell yourself into slavery, and he didn't even sign a servant contract with you... With your literary talent and ability, you will definitely be able to rise to the top of the court..."

Jie Dachen was with his father when Jie Yi had memories. After his father left, he escorted himself and his sister all the way to the south.

Whether it's martial arts or martial arts, Jie Yi knows the opponent's strength.

"No."

Jie Dachen smiled contemptuously. At that time, he also thought that he could win the Three Yuan Guangzong Yaozu in one fell swoop.

Just like Master Xie said, he was just short of the last step.

When he and his father went to Beijing to take part in the examination, who could have predicted that the Cangling River would be flooded halfway, and then he would search with the refugees until they were blocked in the imperial capital.

Even though he produced his own roadmap and proved it, he still made things difficult in every possible way. After entering the imperial capital, he didn't have much money and his father was seriously ill. The journey to take the exam was probably the darkest time in his life.

Even though he met a kind-hearted Master Jie who helped the father and son, he still failed to save his father's life in the end.

During the period when he was taken in by the Jie Mansion, he had been following Mr. Jie. As an inconspicuous staff member, he saw too much darkness in the officialdom.

The original longing for the court was broken one after another by those intrigues.

If it weren't for the appearance of Prince Changping, he might have returned to his hometown directly after repaying Lord Jie's kindness after his father's death. It was precisely because of Prince Changping's kindness to Lord Jie that he stayed there.

result--

"Chen Jian, if you still want to continue your talents and ambitions, I can..."

"No need." Xie Dachen shook his head and interrupted Xie Yi's suggestion. He smiled slightly, looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes piled up like a hill not far away, and said slowly, "This is good. Here, It can be used as well."

As he spoke, his eyes had already fallen on Mayberry's back...

 Xie Dachen (Chen Jian) ​​was originally the kind of young genius with ambition, talent and arrogance.

  When I went to Beijing to take the exam, my old father followed me, but I encountered a flood on the way. He actually saw the inaction of many officials among the victims.

  After finally arriving in the imperial capital, I found that being an official was just a matter of pretense. It happened that my old father was seriously ill and had nowhere to turn for help. As a result, he was discovered by Jie Qi and brought back.

  Although Xie Qi helped him, his old father was seriously ill and died in the end.He was already a little extreme because of the things he encountered when he was in trouble. Once his old father died, he became even more extreme and sold himself to repay his kindness.

  Although he was stopped by Jie Qi, leading him was like leading a student, but he saw too much officialdom darkness around Jie Qi.

  He felt that it was useless to become an official in the imperial court, and felt that this rubbish emperor was not worthy of his advancement (a bit of an angry young man).

  Later, it was finally discovered that Prince Changping was worthy of following, but due to the conspiracy to seize the direct line, his mentor and the heir he was promising were gone.

  In recent years, besides raising his benefactor's children, he didn't think much of anything...
