Chapter 232: Yield
Coincidentally, at this time, people came and went back and forth from Ningfu, saying that the sweet potatoes of Xiaotian Zhuangzi had also been harvested, but it seemed that they had not paid attention to it or that the original vine seedlings were not strong enough, far less than so many in the house, but more than half a stone.
Even if this is the case, it is enough, a total of six stunted vines have grown, it is enough to have such a stone and a half, and the next time it is well cared for, and then from the optimal seedlings, it will definitely be able to get more yields!
After all, this is the artifact that laid the foundation of the prosperous era of Kangqian!
As soon as he was happy, Jia Lu waved his hand and said,
"Pack up a basket and let's bake and eat, and take the remaining two baskets of things back to my father, Tian San, you go back with you, Daddy wants to come to see you!"
After speaking, he ordered someone to set up a barbecue grill, and after it was hot, put the sweet potato on the iron shelf, and roll it repeatedly until the skin showed a rough black brown, and the bellflower was faintly oily, and the hard fruit gradually softened.
Jia Lu swallowed her saliva, this sweet potato looks vulgar, the taste is not ordinarily good, she hasn't eaten it for more than ten years, and she is hungry when she smells it.
When it was almost time, he took it out, peeled off the ugly skin on the outside, revealing the golden and brilliant flesh inside, and the sweet taste came to his face, and even the slightly disgusted Tanchun couldn't help but be attracted by this appearance.
Everyone shared this sweet potato, they were full of praise, and the girls were also greedy, Jia Lu first ordered a few to bake a few for the old lady, the old man, and the wife, and a few of them were sent over, which was originally planted in the name of filial piety to the old lady, and she could not forget the Buddha.
In this way, half of the basket of sweet potatoes is gone, and the rest are baked, fortunately, the sweet potatoes are easy to be full, whether it is the master or the servant in the Grand View Garden, they are pampered and accustomed, the appetite is not very big, and the remaining sweet potatoes are enough for everyone to eat full.
When everyone was full, the people who went to send filial piety also came back, and each brought back the rewards of the elders, all of whom praised the girls for their filial piety, especially the old lady, she was old, her teeth were not strong enough, and she liked soft and sweet things more and more.
Jia Lu hurriedly sent someone to chase back the two baskets of sweet potatoes sent back to Ningfu, and sent them to the big kitchen for the old lady to eat, she is an ancestor, and no one can miss her.
However, everyone in Rongfu didn't take this sweet potato seriously, thinking that it was just a relatively delicious fresh food, and they didn't take it to heart.
They don't care, since someone cares, after Jia Jing received the sweet potatoes from the garden in the house, he also thought it was just a special food, and when Tian San said that he was talking about the yield, he immediately stood up and asked,
"What you said is true, this so-called sweet potato has a yield of two stones per acre?"
Tian San had never spoken to the master of the house on weekdays, and he seemed a little nervous at the moment, but he was still articulate and replied,
"Back to the old lady, this is not accurate, this sweet potato is bred by six thin vine seedlings on the small field Zhuangzi, three in the garden, a total of three baskets and one stone of output, the less on the Zhuangzi, add up to one and a half stone of output, if you look at the growth of sweet potatoes in the garden, these six vines only occupy half an acre of land, if it is planted with one acre, how to say it will be four to five stones!"
Jia Jing clapped his hands and smiled, "That's the doubling of wheat production, and there are enough two more stones of grain!"
How much grain is these two stones, Grandma Liu, who didn't go long ago, has some sayings, she has received two more stones of grain this year, she has a lot of self-confidence because of the harvest of two stones, and she has brought a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables to plant over, and she will not fight the autumn wind, that is, she will come and go as a serious relative, so you can see the courage of the two stones of grain, and the influence of the two stones.
Jia Jing asked again, "I don't know where Sister Lu got such a good thing?"
Tian Sanhui, "This sweet potato vine seedling was found in the small farm, and I don't know if it was found from overseas, only six seedlings were left, which took root and sprouted in the Zhuangzi, and we didn't know the goods, I heard that the girl looked at it from the book, and found it, or the girl has a lot of knowledge, otherwise you can't find such a baby!"
Jia Jing stroked his beard, only smiled, and said, "She will also read some miscellaneous books!"
Thinking that this thing only relies on these vine seedlings to raise seeds, if it wants to spread out, I don't know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, so he shouted outside,
"Come on, go and find Qin Wu!"
This Qin Wu is the steward in charge of going to sea and going to business, Tian San has heard about it, and knows that the old man is afraid that he has serious things to order, not that he is a gardener who can listen to it, and the one who knows the eyes is about to retreat, the old man suddenly called him again, his face was a little wrong, and asked,
"This sweet potato is grown in the garden, so isn't everyone aware of the yield?"
Tian San replied, "This, I'm afraid it's true, but I'm afraid that the people in the garden don't know that three vine seedlings grow?"
Jia Jing was pacing in the hall, this Sister Lu was too unstable in doing things, how could such a thing be harvested in public?
Immediately paused again, and couldn't help shaking his head, he was really old and confused, how old was Sister Lu, how could she think about everything?
After all, he still has to clean up the mess as a father!
In this way, after Jia Jing asked Tian San to leave, he found Jiao Da over again and told him to find out what the sweet potato was said outside, and Jiao Da took the task and went out.
Half a day later, Jiao Dashang said back and forth, the yield is also said, but the servants in the Rongfu Mansion have not been farming for many years, and there are not many people who really care about this yield, but more are talking about the fourth girl, a young lady with golden branches and jade leaves, who likes farming, and Jia's mother is unaware of this sweet potato, and everyone is curious about what it looks like.
Jia Jing breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and said secretly, as the saying goes, it is better to be blocked than to be sparse, since this rumor has come out, if it is banned, it will make people suspicious, and there are few people who pay attention to the output horizontally, so it is better to guide the rumors, which will not attract attention.
Just gave a word or two to this Jiao Da, and Jiao Da retreated.
Qin Wu was summoned by Jia Jing, Jia Jing asked him to find out where the sweet potatoes came from, and when he wanted to go to sea in the near future, remember to bring some back, and Qin Wu was instructed to go down and make arrangements.
Sure enough, a few days later, no one discussed the yield of sweet potatoes, even if it was mentioned by chance, it was just that the taste was soft and glutinous and sweet, and it came from overseas, so the output should not be large.
It's just that what Jia Jing doesn't know is that Jia Lu intercepted a paragraph early and gave it to Grandma Liu, Grandma Liu is in the countryside, and this output can't be hidden for long, and Jia Jing doesn't plan to hide it for long, but he just follows this credit for the benefit of his descendants.
