Time flies, time flies, in the daily hustle and bustle, in a blink of an eye, it is November.

The caravan of Taoyuan Villa returned victoriously again, this time the profit was even higher than the last time, all the goods brought with it were sold, and they also used barter to bring back a lot of local products, but what he never expected was that He Lin actually brought back two bags of potatoes.

This made Gu Xinyu insist on being ecstatic, even happier than seeing those silver tickets

"Herb, where did you find this?" Gu Xinyu personally poured a cup of tea for He Lin, and then looked at him with hopeful eyes: "He Bo, is there still there?" ”

"This was found in Zhangli City, I don't know what it does, and there are buds growing outside, so no one dares to buy it, and the shopkeeper in the shop is also our old customer, so he threw it directly to me, but there is no one in that shop, and I went to other shops, and I didn't find this thing" He Lin took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Okay, but next time you go, you'll have to throw him some more silver, because it's a treasure."

"Don't worry, young lady, how could I ask for other people's goods in vain, oh I have already given him ten taels of silver, and I found that something that is worthless in the eyes of others may be worth a thousand gold in your hands, hehe, so, I thought, I can't let him feel at a loss in the future, so I gave this number"

Gu Xinyu nodded approvingly, and praised He Lin a few words. Squatted there and carefully examined the two bags of potatoes

The scientific name of this thing is also called potato, which is a tuber propagation crop, and the most important potato cultivar is the tetraploid species, which has high nutritional value, very strong adaptability, and large yield, second only to corn and other crops.

The most important thing is that it is very tasty, and there are many ways to do it, only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that you can't do.

"Uncle, let me tell you, there is such a thing. The people of our Zhou Dynasty really won't go hungry," Gu Xinyu pointed to a small potato in his hand. Tell He Lin: "Do you think this one in my hand is not big?" But if you plant it, you can harvest six to seven in the fall, ten times larger than that. ”

"With such a high yield, then it can be eaten. What does it taste like? And the young lady. This thing. Do you know what it's called? He was very surprised, even though he was a businessman, not a farmer. He can't experience the hardships and harvests of farming, but he values profits and future value.

"The taste should be delicious, I also saw it from a book, there are a lot of methods, and it is very, very delicious, and it is also conducive to storage" Gu Xinyu said with some weakness: "This seems to be called a potato, it also has a name called potato, but there are more potatoes."

He Lin nodded, and the two of them discussed, because there were still two months to go before the New Year, and after the caravan set off this time, it would not go out for the whole year before the New Year.

Therefore, this time the caravan should leave early, and the vegetables in the greenhouse can still be picked, and the pickled duck eggs and goose eggs in the mountain villa can also be brought with them this time.

He Lin told Gu Xinyu that eggs are sold the best, because in these two cities, since the beginning of winter, the production of eggs has dropped significantly, and it can no longer meet the needs of those dignitaries.

Therefore, the eggs brought by the villa this time not only sold the fastest, but also sold at a good price.

"Uncle He, according to the time this time, we can return to Rongcheng on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and then, we should prepare for the New Year" Gu Xinyu looked at He Lin with a smile: "Uncle He, since you came to Rongcheng, you have done me a great favor, the New Year, just stay at home and don't go anywhere, and have a good reunion with Ziqing and them." ”

"Young lady, you're polite, I am not only very happy to be able to do something for Taoyuan Villa, but also very honored, because now the people in the north, when it comes to Taoyuan Villa, they are all envious, this is a blessing that I can't ask for."

Gu Xinyu smiled and gave him the salary that He Lin deserved, and swore and said: "Uncle He, don't worry, in the future, our Taoyuan Villa will not only be famous in the north, but also in the entire Zhou Dynasty. ”

He Lin nodded vigorously and raised his thumb: "Okay, ambitious!" When that time comes, my old He will also be stained with light haha"

"That's a must!" Gu Xinyu was not modest at all, at this time, Chunli came over and said a few words softly, Gu Xinyu nodded: "Uncle He, the stove has already prepared all the meals, but there is your favorite duck and shrimp noodles, let Chunli take you over, Uncle Wang is waiting for you there." ”

He Lin said goodbye to Gu Xinyu with a smile on his face, and left with Chun to eat. And Gu Xinyu squatted down again, looked at the potatoes in the house, and planned how to plant them in his heart, and looking at it like this, the size of this potato is not very big, but Gu Xinyu is confident that he will improve it, because in modern times, Gu Xinyu and his mentor have been specializing in potato crops for a while.

With corn and potatoes, Gu Xinyu feels that the prospects are very optimistic, these two things are not only high-yielding, but also easy to grow and promote.

However, according to the number of these two bags, the output of the first year really has to be untouchable, if it is extended to the whole north, in terms of time, it will take more than three years, and corn, it will take two years, because after all, this year is the first year.

Gu Xinyu asked Chunmei to call the guards and put the two bags of potatoes in the warehouse in the backyard, where the temperature was moderate, which was just conducive to the storage of potatoes.

After Gu Xinyu had lunch, he called Xiao Tao over and looked at him carefully: "Xiao Tao, what kind of knowledge have you gained when you go out this time, and how do you feel?" ”

Although Xiao Tao's expression was a little wilted, when he heard Gu Xinyu ask him this, the young man's face suddenly glowed, and he talked to Gu Xinyu endlessly about what he had seen and learned along the way, as well as the local folk customs, which fascinated him.

In particular, Zhangli City, which is a different existence from Shouchang City, where the streets are cleaner and wider, there are many shops, many goods, and there is an endless stream of merchants from the south to the north.

And their vision is also relatively accurate, some merchants are not locals, but when they see the goods brought by the caravan of Taoyuan Villa, they all show a strong interest.

But these people are really cunning, always want to keep the price to the lowest, said here Xiao Tao is a little angry: "Miss, you don't know, there is an old fat shopkeeper, from Jiangnan, he wants a lot of goods, at that time used three pieces of rice paper, but, in the end, when negotiating, let's not talk about anything else, just cucumbers, guess what price he gave?"
