Chapter 132: Harvesting Potatoes
As for what they said just now, Li Shimin didn't care.
"It's simple, just throw the soil so deep and dig out the potatoes at the roots." Wang Yin roughly compared the depth of the potato to Li Shimin.
"This potato eats the roots?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
"When you planted it before, it was what the potatoes looked like when they came out." Wang Yin explained casually.
When Li Shimin heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to dig the soil, and Wang Erniu saw this, and hurriedly took a farm tool from the villagers and offered it.
Seeing that Li Shimin had done it, the ministers spontaneously took the farm tools from the villagers, rolled up their sleeves and joined the ranks of digging pits.
When the villagers saw that His Majesty and so many high-ranking officials had gone to the ground in person, how could they have any reason to stand? He simply rolled up his sleeves and dug it up with his hands.
Fortunately, the ground is not hard, and it is not difficult to dig up.
"I said Niangniang, don't mix with it." Wang Yin saw that the eldest grandson queen was also about to go to the ground, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"General Wang doesn't need to say much, this palace must personally collect this potato this time." Empress Changsun said firmly, and then ignored Wang Yin, picked up the farm tools and went to dig the pit.
"I said Uncle Li, what are you tossing when you're old?" Seeing that Li Yuan was about to go to the ground, Wang Yin suddenly felt a pain: "If you are tired, your son will not be able to find me to fight hard?" β
"Don't worry, I'm not that old!" Li Yuan pushed Wang Yin away, rolled up his sleeves and went to the ground.
"Yes, you guys love it." Wang Yin shrugged his shoulders and sat down in the rocking chair.
Li Chengqian needless to say, as a prince, he will definitely not miss the opportunity to brush up his prestige, and even Li Lizhen and Cheng Lingxue went to the ground to dig a pitγγγγγγ
Even Xueba Tai, who 'I don't study for a day, I'm uncomfortable', rarely put down his studies and joined the ranks of digging potatoes.
Who said that people are stupid? Don't you see that people are caring about the people of Datang at this moment~
A group of people carefully dug the soil little by little, and when they were close to the root of the potato, they directly threw away the farm tools and dug it up directly with their hands, lest they hurt the potato.
Wang Yin shook his head and ignored it: Forget it, it's good for you to be happy~
Li Shimin dug with his hands for a while, and there was a feeling of hardness in his hands, and he was suddenly overjoyed, and quickly peeled off the soil covered on it, and a touch of earthy yellow suddenly came into his eyes.
"That's right, that's the color!" Li Shimin was suddenly overjoyed, he had seen potatoes before.
The hand sped up, and in a few moments, the potato was dug apart.
Li Shimin grabbed the seedlings on it and lifted it vigorously, and then lifted the whole potato, and Li Shimin's heart was suddenly happy: this time, the weight is not light!
Li Shimin took a closer look and found that the potatoes that were growing now were much larger than when they were planted, almost as big as two fists combined.
Li Shimin took a cursory glance, there were about seven or eight potatoes hanging underneath, and hurriedly waved his hand to the side.
A man who had been waiting for a long time next to him immediately ran over with a scale, peeled off the potatoes and put them on the scales.
"Three... Thirty-two pounds... The man stumbled as he looked at the scale on the scale.
Li Shimin's heart was suddenly shocked, and he stared at the scale carefully for a while, and after finding that it was indeed no problem, his heart was in ecstasy!
It's just one plant, and there are more than 30 catties! Li Shimin took a look at the potato plants in the greenhouse, this acre of land, I'm afraid it's more than one or two thousand catties, right?!
After getting this conclusion, Li Shimin was directly stunned.
Originally, I had prepared for the worst: even if the yield of this potato per mu was less than 1,000 catties, I would be satisfied if I could have hundreds of catties.
But now I find that I was wrong, and I was so wrong!
If each plant has such a level, then I am afraid that this acre of land will cost thousands of catties?!!!
"A few thousand catties per mu, what is the concept? No, it can't be, I must be dreaming ... Li Shimin was stunned and muttered.
Just when Li Shimin was stunned, the eldest grandson queen next to him came over with a potato plant, and the person who weighed it hurriedly cut off the potatoes with a knife and put them on the scales and weighed them.
"Two... Seventeen pounds... After weighing, the man shook his hand and put the potato on the ground, and said with a stumbling voice.
It's only two plants, it's almost fifty pounds, how can he grow so big, how has he ever seen such a high-yield dealer? Don't say you've seen it, you've never heard of it!
"Your Majesty..." Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin and said excitedly.
After Li Shimin came back to his senses, he nodded at Empress Changsun, bent down and continued to plan.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin, who was bowing her head and slashing, smiled, and followed suit.
Speaking of which, since being cured by Wang Yin, she has not only been healthy, but her strength has also increased significantly.
"Good fellows, these things are big enough!" Cheng Yanjin looked at the potato seedlings in his hand and sighed, and then handed it to the person who weighed it next to him.
"Thirty ... Seven pounds... The man looked at the scale in shock and stumbled in reply.
"It seems that this potato is more than one or two thousand catties, so simple answer!" Cheng Yanjin turned his head and glanced at Wang Yin: "Hey, this kid hasn't told the truth yet, but I like it!" β
Not only Li Shimin and his wife and Cheng Yanjin, but after everyone finished weighing the potatoes they dug, they were extremely shocked by this output, and then they looked forward to it excitedly.
This final total output must be a shocking figure!
But now these people didn't make a calculation, and continued to bow their heads with this sense of anticipation, ready to save this surprise until the moment of the final unveiling.
"Three... Thirty-five pounds... Hearing the person weighing next to him finish reporting the number, Du Ruhui's eyes turned black and fainted...
"Keming!" Seeing this, Fang Xuanling next to him hurriedly walked over and helped Du Ruhui, who was unconscious, up.
Seeing this, the people nearby also dropped their work and gathered around.
pinched people, pressed his chest, and after some tossing, Du Ruhui finally woke up leisurely.
"Keming, are you feeling unwell?" Li Shimin, who rushed to inquire about it, hurriedly held Du Ruhui's hand and asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, the minister is fine, but I was so happy just now... Du Ruhui sighed and said with satisfaction.
"It's okay if there's nothing to do, it's okay to have nothing to do." Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Du Ruhui was fine: "The potatoes are about to be harvested, so if you are not in good health, go to the side to rest." β
Du Ruhui saw that there were so many people, and he was indeed not one of his own, so he didn't insist anymore, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered someone to send Du Ruhui to Wang Yin.
"Let General Wang smile." Du Ruhui said embarrassedly.
"If you're not in good health, don't push yourself." Wang Yin hurriedly took out a Taishi chair and put it on the ground: "Sit." β
"There's General Lao." Du Ruhui arched his hand and sat down.
"General Wang, I'm afraid the yield of this potato is more than one or two thousand catties, right?" Du Ruhui looked at Wang Yin and said.
He also wondered in his heart, why did Wang Yin falsely report the output, and it was a false report that was trying to go low? If you were someone else, it would be good not to exaggerate.
"Aren't I afraid of scaring Lao Li by saying too much?" Wang Yin whispered: "If you scare your majesty out of the way, you still have to fight for me?" β
When Du Ruyan heard this, he suddenly cried and laughed: What kind of reason is this? It is as if it will not scare Your Majesty now. Didn't you see that His Majesty's excited hands were shaking just now...
While speaking, Li Yuan was also helped back by someone.
Looking at Li Yuan, whose hands were shaking all the time, Wang Yin suddenly felt a pain in his eyes: Why don't you take another potato to frighten a fewγγγγγγ
"Uncle Li, I'm excited, I'm excited. . . ." Wang Yin hurriedly took out the Taishi chair and put it on the ground, and helped Li Yuan to sit down: "Why don't you just collect a potato, if you are excited, Lao Li will not have to find me desperately." β
"He dares!" Li Yuan shouted angrily when he heard this: "In front of this potato, even if he is the emperor, he has to stand aside!" β
