Chapter Twenty-Three: Little Sweet Potato
"It's me who is obsessed, and I don't think about a lot of things, so I just want to do it regardless of it. Qiao Lan's expression suddenly became solemn, she didn't hesitate, and confessed, "Tell me first, what kind of grain is most commonly planted on the land of the country now, which is the highest yielding crop, and what is the yield?"
"......" Yu Dana thought for a while and had the answer, "Rice, wheat and millet, barnyard also have some, the highest yield is rice, if it is a good field, intensive cultivation and wind and rain are smooth, the yield per mu can reach four stones." ”
"Four...... Shi ...... "When she was so solemn, Qiao Lan was stunned for a short circuit for a while, and then silently converted in her mind, "That's more than four hundred catties!"
"Well, but generally 300 catties is already considered a good year. ”
"If I tell you that I have a new grain seed, and the yield per mu can reach 1,000 catties, how will you stay?" Qiao Lan thought for a while, and wrote in her notebook that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu was about 3,500 catties, and she said that 1,000 catties was not wrong, and now the cultivation conditions are not so ideal, the yield reduction is certain, and it is no longer safe to say 1,000 catties, and besides, if she says 3,000 catties, it is estimated that Yu Dana will give her a roll of the eyes directly regardless of her being the master. Rao is like this, Yu Dana was also completely stunned, "Qian...... Thousand...... Jin ......"
"That's it......" Qiao Lan put the unburied sweet potato on the stone table, "This is a thing from Fanbang, don't ask me where I got it, I can't say a word." It is said that it does not need Tianze, does not need to be artificial, can be powdered, can be wined, can be sacrificed. Qiao Lan said that the head is the Tao, in fact, most of it was copied by Yang Yingfeng in the notebook, "It is suitable for the elderly and children, six animals are available, and the most important thing is that it does not need land, wasteland, sand, and fields...... I don't like water immersion......" Qiao Lan dared to swear, just now Yu Dana did glance at her with the roll of his eyes.
"Miss," Yu Dana's face was also very indifferent, not at all as excited as he was at the beginning, although he really wanted to roll his eyes at Qiao Lan again, "Can I go first and see if Mrs. Zhang has started to prepare dinner." ”
"......" said, shouldn't you be a subordinate who should unconditionally support the master's decision, why do I really want to buy a slave, which is the consciousness of selling yourself into slavery, even the master's words are questioned...... It seems that I am too tolerant, hey, I can't see Yang Yingfeng groveling in front of me......
Qiao Lan simply ordered Yu Dana to stay, and gave her a thought.
Yu Dana had no choice, so he had to plan with Qiao Lan against his will, he first asked about the growth of this sweet potato, and knew that this sweet potato was a rhizome that grew in the ground, he was not surprised, but Qiao Lan said that the vines that grew on the ground could also cook and feed livestock, so he couldn't sit still, but Qiao Lan's expression was too determined, and she knew too much about sweet potatoes, as if she had seen and heard it herself, so he couldn't have the slightest doubt. Qiao Lan's "professionalism" made Yu Dana also pay attention to sweet potatoes, he didn't think that Qiao Lan's class had an axe, he also believed that this sweet potato, even if it could not reach a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, at least hundreds of catties, and for the fact that it could be planted on wasteland and sand, it had already made him have to wait for it. "Miss, how many kinds of sweet potatoes do you have?"
"......" Qiao Lan coughed embarrassedly and pointed to the two sweet potatoes on the table, "It's all here!"
...... "If Yu Dana is a roaring body, he would have roared at this time, "You wanted to buy hundreds of acres of land before just to plant these two sweet potatoes......"
"......" If Qiao Lan was a roaring body, she would have roared at this time: I don't know how to farm, I guessed it wrong, I didn't think about it.
"The top priority is to plant this precious sweet potato and harvest it before the cold weather, so that there will be a lot of seeds at the beginning of spring next year, otherwise everything will be in vain. ”
"Yes, that's what I thought. Qiao Lan nodded hurriedly, indicating that she was not working blindly without thinking about it.
"Has Miss ever thought about opening up the wasteland?"
"If you have any ideas, just say it, in my place, you don't need to worry, you have to know everything, and everything you say. ”
"Miss wants to buy a large piece of land, it is to plan for the future, but in the past two years, the years have been good, and the war has not affected here for a while. But there are many ownerless mountains, and they are as big as they are, and they are exempt from tax for three years. The reason why it is not easy to open up the land is because it is difficult to harvest crops in the first few years, but according to what you said, you do not choose the land for this grain species, isn't this a God-given opportunity, a match made in heaven, God help me, God ...... ...... days"
"Alright, I know what you mean. You're right, there is a lot to be done in clearing the wasteland. Qiao Lan pondered for a while, and somehow thought of the west bank of Qingshan Village, "What do you think of the land on the west side of the Yaoshui River in Qingshan Village." ”
Yu Dana looked stunned, well, he was indeed stunned, he couldn't believe that Qiao Lan from Qingshan Village actually had hope for that piece of land, even he, a person from another village, knew that the land could not be used, not that it could not be used, but that the wild boar would not use it. Qiao Lan didn't need to look at Yu Dana's expression to know what he thought, indeed, if she wasn't Qiao Lan from the twenty-first century and had experienced more than a month of cruel end-times, when she heard the idea that someone dared to fight that piece of land, she would definitely cast a look of "This person is crazy".
It was the end-times of more than a month that inspired her. Their team once encountered a village, there are not many local zombies, but there are many wild boars, and there are many poisonous snakes, although there are no zombies, but they are infected by the zombie virus, wild boars are crazy, poisonous snakes are also crazy, not only attack people, but also eat people, the people of that village dug a trench two meters deep and two meters wide around the village, many wild boars fell into the trench, and they could not get out and could only live by eating the poisonous snakes that fell into the trench, and the zombies that fell into the trench were also their targets, so the dozens of wild boars were "raised" by the villagers In the trenches, it also acts as the protector of the village. That village was also the only one within a radius of dozens of miles that survived. Although they were unable to enter the village because of the villagers' wisdom to protect their lives, this did not prevent Qiao Lan from appreciating their unique way of survival.
"Don't worry, I have a way to keep those wild boars alive. Qiao Lan swore an oath. She is confident enough, that is because she has a plan, but based on her words alone, how can Yu Dana believe that she will not toss in vain, but he has not forgotten the rumors about the wild boars on the West Coast over the years, and there is no harvest.
"Hey~" Qiao Lan didn't plan to sell Guanzi, so she shook out the whimsy she stolen, "The people in the past chased and intercepted the wild boars, but they all ended in failure...... Give us more food ......"
"Huh?!"
"Dig a trench along the edge of the forest, as long as it is wide and deep enough, and keep the wild boar coming and going."
Yu Dana thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that there was a door!! when the landlord Zhang built a wall to block the wild boar, but the wild boar was strong, and it collided a few more times, and no matter how strong it was, it also collapsed. If you dig a deep ditch, the wild boar will have no choice, either return the same way, or fall into the ditch to be a vegetable. "Miss Gaojian! I'm ashamed of myself" Not only is he inferior, many people are inferior, so many people, all these years, have not been able to grab that piece of land from under the fangs of wild boars. Yu Dana was convinced by Qiao Lan and decided not to question her decision in the future.
"Now, the priority is to plant the sweet potato and buy the land. ”
"That piece of land is ownerless wasteland, why spend money to buy it, as long as it is cleared, it will be Miss's in three years. He just said that he would never question Qiao Lan's decision in the future, and it was over in a blink of an eye.
"If you think about how many people have calculated that piece of land before, you are not afraid of 10,000 in case, it is better to get your hands on it first. Counting wasteland, one or two pieces of silver per acre, just a few hundred acres of land, it doesn't cost much silver, besides, the government can't wait for someone to buy that piece of land, and it is estimated that it can be cheaper. Therefore, not only to buy, but also to pass the red deed to ensure that it is nine out of ten. "There are many wastelands in the country, but there are few wastelands like the west bank of the Yaoshui River, which are located on the banks of the river and are convenient for irrigation, and this is also where it is coveted.
"I'll leave for the county seat right now and buy the West Bank. Yu Dana left in a hurry, and Qiao Lan didn't stop her, she liked such neat subordinates. But soon she regretted it, because the 100,000 hot sweet potatoes had not yet been planted.
Without Yu Dana, Qiao Lan had no choice but to figure out a way by herself, and suddenly, she skimmed to the door of the east wing and there was a cowering figure.
"Come here!" Qiao Lan beckoned to Fang Xiaoyong, who was shrinking to the side, Fang Xiaoyong was very afraid of Qiao Lan, although he really wanted to show it and make Qiao Lan willing to keep him, but the more he thought about it, the more he cowered. Uncle Dana went out, Fang Xiaoyong was worried that Qiao Lan would take the opportunity to kick him out, and he didn't want to live the precarious life he had before. Thanks to Uncle Dana, he still thinks of him and finds him an owner, you know, ordinary people have to have a serious source when they buy people, beggars are rootless duckweed, and usually can't get on the table, even if they are sent to the door for nothing, no one is willing to take them in.
Fang Xiaoyong has been freshened up, and the clothes on his body are also new, but because he is too thin, the clothes look empty, but no matter what, the whole person looks clean and energetic, and he is qualified when he comes to Qiao Lan: he is too timid, and he still needs to experience and experience, otherwise how to help Yu Dana run errands, and pull his hind legs.
"Xiao Yong, do you know where there is sand?" "Sweet potatoes are best planted in transparent sand, which is conducive to the extension of the root system, and you can't find sand to plant for a while, and you can't put it under your nose, it's really reassuring, just make a small sandy land by yourself."
