Chapter 155 Sweet potatoes, just a gift
"Father Chen, do you know what this is?" Ye Qingqian took out a sweet potato and shook it in front of everyone.

Xuanyuan Xiaobai leaned forward curiously, and took a closer look: "What is this? It looks a bit like a carrot."

"This thing is called sweet potato, it's delicious and you're hungry." Ye Qingqian shuddered a few times, and then asked old man Chen: "Father Chen, how much is the yield per acre of corn and wheat you plant?
Old man Chen took a puff of dry tobacco: "In good times, the corn can be harvested for four hundred catties, and the wheat can be harvested for three hundred catties."

Ye Qing held a few sweet potatoes in his hands in trepidation: "Do you know how many sweet potatoes are produced per mu?"

"Five hundred catties?" old man Chen asked excitedly, the extra one hundred catties is more than three months' rations for one person.

Ye Qingqian stretched out his right hand and shook: "Stop! Guess again!"

"Eight hundred catties?" Chen Xiaojiang said boldly.

Ye Qing smiled slightly and said, "Stop! Guess again, try your best!"

Old man Chen stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it possible to produce two thousand catties?!"

Ye Qingqian still shook his head: "Oh, why are you so timid, you won't guess more, tell you, this sweet potato yields at least [-] catties per mu!"

"What?!" Everyone in the room was shocked!Four thousand catties!What is the concept of four thousand catties? That is a year's ration for more than ten people!One mu of sweet potatoes is worth the output of ten mu of corn!

"And this sweet potato is drought-resistant, which is just right for your sandy soil!" Ye Qing added with a smile.

"Young Master Qingye, are you kidding me?" Old Chen held a sweet potato with trembling hands.

Ye Qingqian stared: "I am a joker! Of course it is true!"

"Then, please give me the sweet potato seeds!" Old man Chen was overjoyed when he heard this.

Ye Qingqian shook his head: "This thing has no seeds, and there are only a few sweet potatoes."

After hearing Ye Qingqian's words, everyone fell from the clouds to the ground, and it was a cake after a long time.

"Qing Ye, your joke is a little too big. Without seeds, what good are these sweet potatoes?" Xuanyuan Xiaobai questioned.

"Young master, you, alas, my age can't stand this, please stop teasing me!" Old man Chen sighed in disappointment.

Chen Xiaojiang and Chuyi next to him also showed expressions of dissatisfaction. Isn't this funny? It's useless to say anything without seeds!
Only Yun Lie remained silent, Ye Qingqian raised his eyebrows: "Yun Lie, why don't you speak?"

Yun Lie said lightly: "I trust you, you won't joke about such things."

After hearing Yun Lie's words, Ye Qingqian felt a palpitation in her heart, huh?Heart attack again?Really, why do you always have heart attacks recently?Sometimes I have to use my mental strength to look inside.

Ye Qingqian regained his composure, and giggled: "Oh, Yun Lie still understands me, how can I make fun of such a big thing?! This sweet potato does not need seeds to reproduce."

Ye Qingqian went on to say solemnly: "Bury these sweet potatoes with sand, pour some water, and then cover with a layer of sand, wait for the sprouts to grow to two inches long, and transplant them to another place, and the remaining The sweet potatoes will continue to germinate. When the transplanted vines grow up, they can be cut into several sections, and they can survive in the soil. If they are reproduced in this way, when the winter wheat is harvested next year, the seedlings will be moved to the ground and fertilized. , just wait for the sweet potatoes to be harvested in September.”

Hearing what Ye Qingqian said, Old Man Chen was overjoyed, as if what he was holding was not a sweet potato, but a gold ingot, and the rest of the people were also very excited.

Yun Lie was the first to wake up from his joy: "Qing Ye, although this sweet potato has a high yield, there are two problems. One is that no matter how easy it is to reproduce, these few can't provide the seedlings of the entire Chen Village, let alone The whole Heiyan County is covered, and besides, winter is coming, are these sweet potato seedlings afraid of freezing?"

The excited crowd calmed down after being splashed with cold water by Yun Lie, yes, it will be winter soon, will the sweet potato seedlings freeze to death?

Ye Qingqian smiled triumphantly: "Yun Lie, the two points you mentioned are very important, but I have already figured out a countermeasure. Let me talk about the first one first. Although this sweet potato is good, it cannot be a staple food. It has to be eaten with rice. Eat with the staple food, otherwise the stomach will be prone to pantothenic acid, so when the seedlings are bred, give some to each village, and after next year’s breeding, there will be no shortage of these seedlings in the next year."

"This sweet potato is just an additional gift from me. The second one will really make you rich!" Ye Qingqian said mysteriously.
