My Fresh Food Supermarket Tong Daming

Chapter 136 The sky is merciless and the immortals are merciless, potatoes, potatoes!
Zhou Ze successfully satiated the stomachs of all the people with a simple meal of stewed potatoes with cabbage.

Although this stew is even used to feed pigs in modern times, potatoes are a novelty they have never eaten in Daming.

Not to mention that the people from the county like Li Laoba were enjoying themselves, even Xia Changshou, who had been with him the longest, couldn't help holding a bowl and savoring the stew in the bowl carefully.

"Xianchang, the taste of this earthy potato is so delicate and sweet, even the old man with bad teeth can eat it effortlessly, and after eating a few pieces, the old man actually feels full. It's expensive. Wouldn't it be a bit wasteful for them to eat this every day?"

"We are all untouchables, so we don't need to eat such good food." Xia Changshou couldn't help persuading him after tasting a few bites of potatoes beside Zhou Ze. But after being cooked, it turned out to be golden and translucent, which made people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

Although he knew that the fairy leader did this because he couldn't bear to see the big guys eat chaff and vegetables, but as the fairy leader's attendant, he naturally had to give priority to the fairy leader's interests.

Zhou Ze couldn't help but smile when he heard the distressed tone in Xia Changshou's tone, then he picked up a large potato from the soil basket on the side, weighed it and handed it to Xia Changshou, saying:
"The potatoes are not expensive, and I plan to give them to you to plant together with the corn in the spring of next year."

Xia Changshou reacted in an instant, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and asked anxiously, suppressing his joy, "Xianchang, are you saying that potatoes are also the staple food?"

"That's natural!"

Zhou Ze pointed to the place by the river and said, "Did you see the sandy land by the river? This potato seed can also grow there!"

Xia Changshou shuddered and looked at the ugly potato in his hand in shock.

Goodness, this potato can not only be used as a staple food, but can even be planted in sandy soil?
Doesn't it mean that the potatoes don't pick the soil at all, as long as the potatoes come out of a flat piece of land, they can live?
Thinking of this, Xia Changshou raised his head and looked at Zhou Ze fervently, "Xianchang, I think"

Zhou Ze hastily interrupted him. He was very familiar with Xia Changshou's appearance at this time. He had this expression when he was in the corn before, so as soon as he looked up, Zhou Ze knew that this little old man who had been dealing with the land all his life wanted to say what.

It's nothing more than trying to level a large amount of open space before the snow falls so that potatoes can be planted next year.

Seeing Xia Changshou with a stick in his throat, Zhou Ze smiled inwardly, and then explained to him.

"With the current land scale in Xiahe Village, as long as half of the land is planted with potatoes, you won't have to worry about food for a year!"

Xia Changshou was shocked by Zhou Ze's words, my lord, can they no longer worry about famine with only half of the land?
This... This is too incredible. Even if the land in Xiahe Village is full of rice and they don't pay taxes, they can't guarantee that everyone can have enough food every day.

Could it be that this potato has the same high yield as that corn?
But there are already ten stones of corn in the world, so will there be a second high-yield staple food?

Xia Changshou looked dazed and couldn't believe it, but at this moment, the Immortal Elder made a gesture to him and said very calmly: "This thing can be matured and harvested at most 3 months after planting, and it doesn't need to be taken care of too carefully. Yield per mu. At least ten stones!" Zhou Ze deliberately paused at the end of his speech, and only when he saw Xia Changshou's eyes widened in anticipation of the next words, did he say the yield.

'Boom! '

Zhou Ze's last words really did not take Xia Changshou lightly. If the shock that brought him before was a small lightning bolt, then his heart at this moment is no less than being shocked by the Jiuxiao Xianlei in the fairy tale novel. Hit.

Xia Changshou was about to collapse to the ground as soon as his whole body went limp, but fortunately Zhou Ze had been watching his actions, and stretched out his hand to drag him up when his legs were just going limp.

At this moment, Xia Changshou had no ability to think at all, and Zhou Ze's words echoed in his mind, muttering non-stop.

"Three months"

"Ten Stone. Ten Stone"

Zhou Ze said again: "Ten stones is the minimum yield. If there is no accident, it should be around fourteen or five stones."

Well, the output of modern potatoes is generally in the range of 2000 kg to 4000 kg. Although chemical fertilizers are used, the fertility of the land in Daming 500 years ago is also much higher than that of later generations, so the output of 2500 kg is given under comprehensive consideration. It must not be too much to come.

He just said that Xia Changshou was ten stones, but he couldn't accept it. He was afraid that after twenty stones, Xia Changshou would directly ascend to heaven under the excitement. In order to let him enjoy the blessings with him for a few more years, he should not stimulate the little old man too much.

"Fifteen stone fifteen stone."

Xia Changshou's eyes turned red in an instant, and he looked at Zhou Ze and asked tremblingly, "Dare to ask. Xianchang's potatoes. Are those overseas things?"

Zhou Ze stroked his chin and said, "Although this potato is from overseas like that corn, but at present, the production of overseas potatoes is far inferior to the one in my hand."

You must know that this was 500 years ago, and the time span is very large. The current grain varieties that have not been artificially selected for cultivation are very poor in terms of taste and yield.

At this time, Champa rice, known as a good variety of rice, will be at the bottom of later generations, and it is even inferior to rice watered with industrial water in terms of taste.

Take bananas as an example. Although he has not seen the bananas of the Ming Dynasty, he also understands that the bananas at this moment and the bananas of later generations are completely two different things.

He remembered that he had seen the original banana before. It was thick and small, and the length was unattractive, and would you believe that there were hard black seeds inside!
Thinking of this, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his heart.

It seems that the researchers of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences go into the forest every day to find the original rice seeds.

I can take the rice seeds from Daming back and give them to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences anonymously. Presumably the rice from 500 years ago can be said to be primitive and cannot be more primitive.

In this way, I can also be considered as a contribution to the country and the nation.

Not only that, but he also thought that he could bring some extinct species back to life!

The first thing he thought of was the pandas in Shu!
These days, there are a large number of them, and they often go down the mountain unscrupulously to destroy the cultivated crops. The people in Sichuan are suffering unspeakably. If it is released to buy a large number of panda cubs, the people in Sichuan will not only applaud them, but even take the initiative to give them to Zhou. money.

And he brought these pandas back to modern times to realize his dream of having one panda in his hands, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

He can even taste the taste of that panda, it can be tortured!
Just as Zhou Ze let out his thoughts, Xia Changshou next to him burst into tears and burst into tears. His appearance was so heartbroken that he instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou Ze was startled by the sudden voice, and turned his head to look at Xia Changshou suspiciously, wondering what was wrong with him.

It shouldn't be, he didn't cry when he heard the news about the corn before, but this time, potatoes, which are only five stones higher than the yield of corn, can make him so heartbroken?

"Father, what's the matter, Daddy?" Xia Zhong hurried over with an anxious expression on his face.

"The heavens are not fair, the heavens are not fair!!" Xia Changshou slapped his thigh violently, tears streaming down his face.

Hearing the strong indignation in Xia Changshou's tone, even the common people who were busy cooking stopped their movements and slowly gathered around.

Hearing that his father dared to question Cang Tian, ​​Xia Zhong was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. The Immortal Elder is by his side, and they have long regarded the Immortal Elder as the incarnation of Cang Tian. Fairy long nose insults?
"Father, are you confused?! The Immortal Elder has no kindness towards us!" Xia Zhong hurriedly reached out to cover his father's mouth, but was slapped away by Xia Changshou.

He raised his head and saw that both the villagers and the people in the county were looking at him unkindly. He wiped away his tears and told everyone what Zhou Ze had said to him. Finally, he bowed deeply to Zhou Ze. "I also ask the elder to punish the old man. The old man has no intention of insulting the elder. The old man just lost his mind for a while and hates the merciless heaven. None of this high-yield staple food is in my land of China!"

Boom!

Hearing Xia Changshou's explanation, everyone around seemed to be petrified. They were all dazed and unable to calm down for a long time.
