Next, these farmers, under the guidance of Li Su, began to harvest new crops.

This new type of crop, the most common one, is a crop that covers the ground with high furrows and vines.

I heard that it seems to be called sweet potato.

Cut down the vine first and pull it out of the ground.

I heard that this vine can also be fed to pigs, or dried and fed to sheep.

After pulling the vines off, the next step is to use a pickaxe to dig out the sweet potatoes in the ground.

The sweet potatoes in the field may be because they have never been planted before.

Or maybe it's because these farmers have applied a lot of farm fertilizer.

The sweet potatoes that were shoeed out were all five or six catties in size.

The largest sweet potato can weigh more than a dozen pounds.

Seeing the situation here, those rich people suddenly felt curious, and couldn't help but rush over one after another, watching with great interest.

Don't say it, this crop called sweet potato is really fun.

And Songtsen Gampo, as well as those from the five surnamed Qiwang families, are constantly flashing their eyes, and their faces are thoughtful.

Especially the people with five surnames and seven hopes, their faces faintly showed nervousness, anxiety and unwillingness.

They had already vaguely guessed the intention of the King of Shu.

However, even if they can guess it, there is no way to take the king of Shu.

Here are sweet potatoes, and there are two new crops, one is called peanuts and the other is called corn.

It's just that these two crops are not beautiful, lackluster, and not many people watch them.

Everyone's attention is mainly focused on the sweet potato.

In a short time, the sweet potatoes of one acre of land will be harvested.

The sweet potatoes piled up, like a small mountain, were piled up in a large pile.

Next, they specially organized people to weigh these sweet potatoes.

And those rich people also came over curiously and watched how many sweet potatoes can be produced from this acre of land.

And Songtsen Gampo even squeezed in front of him, carefully watching the data of each of their weighings to see if the numbers they recorded were fraudulent.

Even, Songtsen Gampo personally picked up a few pieces of sweet potatoes to see if there was any fake.

As a result, there is not the slightest hint of fraud.

Soon, an acre of sweet potatoes was weighed.

These numbers were quickly calculated.

And when these numbers were calculated, everyone present, one counted as one-eh, except for the King of Shu, couldn't help but be completely stunned.

Because the yield of this acre of land is actually 2,279 catties!

This number really scared everyone.

You must know that the yield per mu of both wheat and rice is only more than 300 catties.

And this agricultural product called sweet potato, the yield per mu has reached a terrifying 2,279 catties!

This amount is seven times the yield per mu of wheat and rice!

In other words, one acre of sweet potatoes is equivalent to seven acres of rice.

For example, those ordinary rich people who eat and wait for death are just surprised by the yield of this sweet potato.

But people like Songtsen Gampo, and people from families such as the five surnames and Qiwang were extremely surprised.

The yield of this sweet potato per acre is so high.

If this sweet potato can really be eaten and can really be used as a staple food, it is enough to show that their previous conspiracy against Yizhou may be bankrupt.

You must know that it has one-tenth of Yizhou's land, and the output of one acre of land here is seven times that of wheat and rice.

In other words, the grain produced by the land here is equivalent to as much as seventy or eighty percent of the usual output of the entire Yizhou.

In this way, these grains are not only enough for the people of Yizhou, but also more than enough.

Next, it is to see whether the grain can be eaten or not, and whether it is good or not.

……

Soon, the harvested sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn were taken.

These sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn, after being cleaned with clean water.

The sweet potatoes are cut into pieces, the peanuts are directly shelled, and the corn is stripped of its coat and thrown directly into the pot.

All they saw was some salt in the pot, and then they set up a firewood and boiled it.

However, are you really sure that this crop can really be eaten if it is boiled in water like this?

In the midst of their doubts, as the firewood at the bottom of the stove became more and more prosperous.

The water in the pot, the temperature gradually increases, begins to bubble, and begins to boil.

And an enticing sound also spread out from a mouthful of pots, escaping throughout the area.

This tempting fragrance, these greedy rich people, swallow saliva.

It seems that the new crops boiled in clear water are not only edible, but also delicious.

Half an hour later, Li ordered a ceasefire.

Then the crops are removed from the boiling water, soaked in water, and then served on the table one by one.

Next, it is to invite these rich people to start tasting the food.

When the food is served, although the fragrance is overflowing, just looking at the appearance, I think I have never seen it.

I don't know if it's poisonous or not, and for a while, they really don't dare to eat it.

Seeing this scene, Li Su smiled slightly, picked up a small piece of sweet potato, and ate it in public.

Seeing that most of the governors of Yizhou were eating directly, those rich people had no scruples, picked up the food in front of them, and ate it.

Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!

And the next moment, a series of deadly coughing sounds scared everyone.

When he hurriedly turned his head to look, he found that there were two rich men who were choked with their hands and grabbed their necks, and the choked ones had red faces and thick necks, and they were almost choked to death.

It took a long time before he spit out the food in his mouth, and said with tears in his eyes: "What kind of bad food is this?" I can't swallow this at all, huh? Is this trying to choke someone or what? ”

And Li Su, who was next to him, couldn't help but be speechless for a while when he saw this scene.

"This peanut is actually eaten by peeling off the shell. This corn eats only corn kernels, and this corn cob cannot be eaten. ”

It turned out that these two rich men, one took peanuts and the other took corn.

Those who take peanuts eat them directly with their shells.

The one who took the corn, even the corn cob, took a bite directly.

Next, Li Su demonstrated to them.

After peeling off the shell of the peanut, place the peanut kernel in your mouth.

Corn which is eaten only from corn kernels.

After Li Su's demonstration, some nobles began to taste it carefully.

And the result of tasting can't help but make their eyes shine.

Because they found that whether it is sweet potatoes, peanuts or corn, they are really delicious.

It was definitely a delicacy that they had never eaten before, and after eating these three crops, they found that their previous lives were really too imperfect!

With these three kinds of food, you can live a perfect life!
