Chapter 119: Amazing Yield (1)
Although the affairs of Osmanthus Village have been over, Li Xin can't just be idle.
Because, the sweet potatoes on the Zhuangzi side have reached the time of harvest. Wang Fu sent a letter over there, hoping that Li Xin could go over. Because sweet potatoes are a novelty for everyone! I don't know how to harvest sweet potatoes, so I hope Li Xin can go over and give guidance.
The cycle of crops is basically fixed, in fact, when sweet potatoes have not been planted, Li Xin knows that at this time, sweet potatoes should be ready to be harvested. Digging sweet potatoes is actually a more tedious thing, and it is not easy to harvest so many sweet potatoes planted this year. Fortunately, the time for planting sweet potatoes is not uniform, so you can dig the ones that are planted first at this time.
When you dig to the back, the ones planted in the back must also be able to be dug up.
Now that it's time to harvest, Li Xin naturally has to go over and take a look. Moreover, on the side of Pinxiang Pavilion, she had already informed the shopkeeper Sun, and at this time, she went to say it again. Shopkeeper Sun also wanted to take a look, although he also knew that the sweet potatoes planted by Li Xin's family last year had an amazing yield, but he didn't see the digging with his own eyes. I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I still felt unfamiliar with that scene.
Moreover, Li Xin has already signed a contract with Mrs. Sun, and the production of Li Xin's Zhuangzi is supplied to Pinxiangge. The rest is fine, Pinxiangge can ask for it, but there are too many sweet potatoes. What the old lady meant was that the sweet potato matter would be left for a while, and then we would talk about it later.
What the old lady meant was that as long as Li Xin's Zhuangzi had an output, she still had to go and take a look.
Shopkeeper Sun also said that he wanted to take a look together. At home, the boys have to go to school, and Yuexiang and Yueting have nothing to do, so they naturally go with them. After a simple tidying up, the three Li Xin sisters and the shopkeeper Sun also went to Zhuangzi.
When they arrived at the Zhuangzi, the group went to the house to take a brief rest, and then went to the field. More than 400 acres of fields, almost all planted with sweet potatoes, at a glance, the scene is still very amazing. The eyes are full of green sweet potato vines, which is really green and gratifying.
Others don't think so, but Li Xin seems to have seen the sweet potatoes like a mountain. So many sweet potatoes are dug up, and they really have to be piled up into a mountain! It makes people feel happy when they think about it, and it's time to harvest! Who wouldn't be upset!
The yield of sweet potatoes is very high, and although the yield of potatoes is also high, it takes more effort to grow potatoes than sweet potatoes. Moreover, sweet potatoes are not picky, and potatoes are different, and good potatoes cannot be grown in bad land. The fields are all good fields and well planted, so it is conceivable that the yield of these sweet potatoes must be relatively high.
"I'm going to dig sweet potatoes." Hearing that she was going to dig sweet potatoes, Yueting was very happy, and she was bouncing along the way. These children of the Li family! In the end, I was hungry and scared before, even if the life in the family is better now, as long as I hear what crops can be harvested, I am still very happy.
People who have never been hungry often do not know the importance of crops.
Soon, it was time to dig up. Li Xin went down to the field first and demonstrated it to everyone. In fact, digging sweet potatoes is similar to digging potatoes, first cut the long sweet potato vines, and then look at the remaining vines, and you can roughly estimate where the sweet potatoes grow. Then dig carefully, and you can dig out a bunch of sweet potatoes.
Li Xin dug carefully, and then slipped out a large bunch of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are red and white, and they are not deliberately separated when they are planted, so they are all mixed. The red sweet potatoes are sweeter, while the white ones are more noodles, and each has its own deliciousness.
After a while, I dug up a basket of sweet potatoes. The eyes of the people around him were almost straight. When digging potatoes earlier, it was enough to amaze everyone. Now seeing that the yield of this sweet potato seems to be higher than that of potatoes, how can you not make the big guy happy!
If everyone in the world grows sweet potatoes and potatoes, then why are you afraid of hunger!
Especially sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes are convenient to breed, and sweet potatoes can be grown by themselves. Moreover, even the vine can reproduce, so to speak, it is still very fast to reproduce.
"It turns out that sweet potatoes are really so high-yielding! It's really an eye-opener. Shopkeeper Sun sighed. I have eaten a lot of sweet potatoes, which is the approximate yield of sweet potatoes, and Li Xin also told him. However, when I didn't see it with my own eyes, I still couldn't feel this shock. No wonder they will say that when the planting is very good, the yield can reach 10,000 catties! What a staggering number! Just listening to it is enough to shock everyone.
However, if you don't see it with your own eyes, even if you hear about it, you will definitely think that it is nonsense. Is there really such a high-yield crop in this world? If there really were such high-yielding crops, where would so many people starve to death every year!
But I only dug such a small corner, and I actually dug a basket of sweet potatoes! How can this not be surprising!
"Shopkeeper Sun has seen me in person now, can he always believe me? You still don't believe me! Looking at Shopkeeper Sun's stunned appearance, Li Xin laughed. It's what you see with your own eyes that makes people believe it! After all, the people of this era still believe in "hearing is false, seeing is believing".
"It's long overdue. Miss Li is really not a simple person! Where the hell did you get all these good things? After the court was announced, Miss Li's reward would definitely not be less. ”
"It's just a coincidence, and it's not a credit!"
"Miss Li is modest, even if it is a coincidence, it is Miss Li's luck. How come others don't have this luck and have such a coincidence! ”
After looking at it for a while, Shopkeeper Sun also felt that his hands were itchy. I even went to the field, saying that I was going to try to dig up sweet potatoes. Li Xin also let him dig it, but what the shopkeeper Sun did was not doing this kind of work. Not to mention the tiredness, it didn't take long for a lot of sweet potatoes to be dug out, but two-thirds of them were dug out by hoes.
As long as it is dug up, it is not easy to preserve. Li Xin didn't feel anything yet, and the others couldn't stand it. This good thing, if you have to dig it like this, the big guys are very distressed! Looking at the big guy's condemning gaze, that gaze was too obvious, even if Shopkeeper Sun was indulging in the fun of digging sweet potatoes, he couldn't ignore it.
Looking at the appearance of the big guy, Shopkeeper Sun was also a little embarrassed. Hurriedly put down the hoe and picked up the broken sweet potatoes alone
