Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 247 An Unexpected Potato

It turned out that the queen made a very strict request. The queen was very happy to see that Chai Lin was handsome, and asked Chai Lin to accompany her for three days.They are a matrilineal clan society, and there is nothing to blame. Their customs must be respected.

After breakfast three days later, the queen of the queen tribe has turned into a 20-year-old woman. The old queen has abdicated. The current queen is beautiful and beautiful, which is a must. She has a strong body and looks at Chai Lin with gentle eyes. .This is the new queen, called Queen Hongyu, and Hongyu is the collective name for the sweet potato and corn of their tribe.

Queen Ruby brought Chai Lin and a group of people to the warehouse.The female soldiers brought out one hundred packages of corn, fifty packages of sweet potatoes, and fifty packages turned out to be potatoes.

Chai Lin is overjoyed, no sacrifice is worth it, potatoes are a good thing, hot and sour potato shreds are so delicious.

Queen Ruby said: "General Chai, these are enough, if not, please get some more."

Chailin has a scale that he brought, and he tested it. One pack is about [-] catties, and two hundred packs is exactly [-] catties. The humpback whale can only carry [-] catties. Don't be overweight either.

Chailin said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, it is enough. We buy it and don't eat it, just make it a seed for breeding."

The Red Jade Queen smiled and said, "General Chai's shovel and hoe are very useful. It is much easier for our people to dig and plow the ground. General Chai can exchange them later."

"Okay, sure. I will definitely come again." Chailin said.Twenty thousand miles apart, so easy to come here?Chailin doesn't plan to come anytime soon.

Queen Hongyu personally led two hundred female warriors to send corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes for more than 100 miles to the seaside.I was amazed to see this weird big ship on the sea.

Queen Hongyu and Chief Ziyong were shocked.

"General Chai, is this your ship? Why is it so big?" Queen Ruby said.

The ships of the Queen's Tribe are canoes, small ones.

"Yes, this is our boat, and it's not too big. There are still bigger ones that haven't arrived yet," Chailin said.

Some tribesmen even knelt and kowtowed, thinking it was a fetish.

Chai Lin said: "Meetings are always short, and parting takes place in a blink of an eye. Queen Hongyu and Chief Ziyong, I have something to give you at the time of parting."

Chai Lin arranged for Dian Zhengnan and Xie Bao to unload their surplus supplies from the ship.

One hundred axes and one hundred handle saws are used to exchange things with primitive people. Now that sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes have been obtained, these things are useless.The most important thing is that the humpback has a limited load capacity, so keeping these things takes up space.

Chai Lin said: "The axes and hand saws are for logging. Wood is most needed for building a house. Ziyong, since your tribe has few people, I will give you thirty axes and thirty hands saws."

"Thank you, General." Ziyong was very happy. He came out to make soy sauce, and he gained a lot.

The rest was given to the Queen's tribe. The Queen was very happy and said, "Thank you, General Chai, it will be easier for us to build a house now."

Ruan Xiaoqi, Dian Zhengnan, Xie Bao, and Lu Yidao acted as porters, moving more than ten thousand catties of corn and sweet potatoes into the cabin.

Ziyong led the tribe back to the tribe, but Queen Hongyu was reluctant to let go, holding Chailin's hand and refusing to let go.

"General, will we meet again?" Hongyu asked.

Chai Lin said: "Yes, I will come back. My family is building a very, very large boat. When the big boat is built, I will come back again. We will meet again at that time."

The people of the Queen's Tribe are not good at hunting and only rely on farming. Chailin worried that if they lost [-] catties of food, they would cause a famine.

Said: "Queen Ruby wait a moment, I will arrange for my men to hunt some bison for you and bring them back."

Queen Ruby said: "The buffalo are ferocious, the general is careful."

Not far away are dozens of bison that come to the beach to eat salt. Hunting is a technical job, and Chai Lin arranges Xie Baolai to do it, so he can tell which one is an old bison.Hunting pays attention to long-term development, and it cannot be exhausted.Hunting some old bulls has no effect on the development of the herd, and when the herd encounters wolves, it will even deliberately overturn some old bulls and leave them to the wolves.

Xie Bao lurked in the grass, approached the cows, found a few old cows, and fired three shots with the revolver in his hand.

The bison were frightened and wanted to attack people. At this time, hundreds of people shouted to scare off the bison.

"Oh, hehe, oh, hehe." The voices of these tribesmen were so loud that the eardrums hurt from the shaking.

The three old bulls on the ground had already been beaten to death, and Queen Ruby was stunned. If her tribe had this level of land, what kind of land would they grow? In the blink of an eye, there would be three bulls.

Chai Lin said: "Queen Hongyu, if you break down the beef into small pieces and take them home, it will also improve the food."

Xie Bao led the knife, and dozens of female soldiers worked together to divide the beef into small pieces weighing dozens of catties.Each of the two hundred female soldiers had a piece of beef, happily.

The queen was very grateful and said: "General, why don't you stay, let's work together to develop the queen's tribe."

Chai Lin shook his head and said, "Queen Ruby, please go back. Today's parting is for the reunion in the future. There is no permanent banquet in the world. When I go back and build a big ship, I will come back."

Although Queen Ruby was reluctant, she couldn't change it. Yiyi bid farewell and led the team back.Ziyong also led the tribal warriors back.

As soon as the Red Jade Queen left, Chai Lin immediately called out, "Zhengnan, help me aboard."

Chai Lin is now stretching his hips when he walks. He got up early this morning and walked more than 100 miles with back pain.

"Brother, how miserably you have been abused. I will carry my brother on board." Dian Zhengnan said.

Next to him, Daoist Lingyun stroked his beard and said, "Businessmen help each other, and every bull turns into good fortune. Only when the iron pestle is turned into a needle can things be done. It seems that the calculation is really accurate."

Chai Lin said: "Old Daoist, this is what you said, the iron club turns into a needle, I wish I could kick you into the sea."

Daoist Ling Yun said with a smile: "It's good that things are done, sacrifices are inevitable."

The Humpback Whale started, and Chailin rested for a long time before he recovered.

Chai Lin said sternly: "You can talk about other things when you go back, but you must hide the section about the Queen of Red Jade, which is listed as the top military secret, and whoever tells it will be subject to military law."

"Okay, brother, don't worry, we won't talk about it, this matter will be rotten." Everyone said, this is not a joke.The Queen's Tribe is a matriarchal society and doesn't take it seriously.But the Song Dynasty is not, the Song Dynasty is a patriarchal society.

There was nothing to do on the way back, and we walked relatively quickly.

After going through wind and rain, it took ten days and finally returned to Dinghai Port in Cangzhou.

Chai Yong, Chai Qiang and others from the pro-barracks led hundreds of soldiers to meet Chai Lin and others at the port for their safe return. Although they did not go, this trip was not easy.

The supply battalion mobilized ten large mule carts to stand ready, and rushed to Chaijiazhuang with [-] catties of new crops.

When Chai Meng saw that Chai Lin was back, he came over and reported, "Brother, the newcomers have been settled in the reconnaissance camp. The specific arrangements will have to wait for you to decide."

Chai Lin said: "Wait a day, there is another big thing to do today."

It is still early to sow corn, but sweet potato seedlings need to be planted immediately, and potatoes need to be planted.

Chai Lin arranged for Lao Liang to recruit 30 veteran farmers, all of whom were Zhuang Ding, who was in the prime of his [-]s.

Chailin picked up the sweet potato and introduced, "This is called sweet potato. It is very resistant to drought and barrenness. It is most suitable for planting on barren land. The yield of sweet potato is four to five thousand catties per mu. This is called potato. It can be boiled and eaten as a staple food, and it can also be stir-fried." For food, the average yield per mu is about three to four thousand catties. If it is well managed, five to six thousand catties is not uncommon. The last one is corn. This kind of rice can weigh as much as one thousand catties after drying. It is good for people to eat and raise livestock. It is a good thing that can feed tens of millions of people in the world. You are fortunate to be the heroes of cultivating sweet potatoes, and everyone will write it on the merit tablet."

"It's all due to the owner of the villa, what can we do." Everyone said.

None of these people had seen this thing before, and they were all surprised, but what Chailin said was absolutely correct.

Old Liang asked: "Master, how do you eat this thing? Is it delicious?"

Chai Lin said: "This sweet potato is red-skinned and white-hearted. It is definitely edible, but the taste is not very good. It is most suitable for making vermicelli. Vermicelli can be eaten as a dish. However, this kind of sweet potato is an excellent feed. It is harvested and cooked. Feed it to pigs, or slice it and dry it in the sun, then crush it and feed it to pigs, the pigs grow very fast, even sweet potato seedlings are treasures.”

Although sweet potatoes and potatoes are both potatoes, they are grown in completely different ways.

The sweet potato seedlings should be raised in the greenhouse first, and the ground should be arranged first, and the seed potatoes should be arranged neatly and covered with soil. Generally, they will sprout in about one month. When the sprouts are more than 20 centimeters long, they can be cut off and planted with sweet potatoes.

Potatoes are much simpler. The seed potatoes have already begun to germinate. One potato can be cut into three or five pieces according to the number of sprouts, and they can be planted in well-developed fields.
