Chapter 208: The potatoes are ripe
Could it be that when I went to Rongguo Mansion and investigated Zhen Mi's actions, I couldn't get any effect?
Qin Zhen became more and more depressed.
The potatoes have been planted for several months, and they can be harvested at this time, and the news from Jia Tanchun is that the potatoes are ripe.
Because this matter has something to do with Qin Zhen, Qin Zhen instructed to pay close attention to it, so Jia Tanchun reported Qin Zhen again.
Qin Zhen's mind was all on Zhen Mi at this time, thinking about how to get Xue Baochai to send his Zhen Mi back, and he was not very excited when he heard the news.
Originally, he wanted to let Jia Tanchun and the others go and collect the potatoes casually, but after thinking about it, he finally rushed to the farm.
This does make a lot of sense. Anyway, it will only delay a day at most, and how many potatoes can be produced in one point of experimentation? This, it won't take him too much time, so why not?
At that moment, Qin Zhen and Jia Tanchun came to the farm, and the field was already full of people, and everyone wanted to see how many catties of grain could be harvested from this potato of Zhenguo Gong.
Qin Zhen asked people to go down to the field to cut potatoes, and he didn't want to swing this first hoe, anyway, there was no camera at this time, so he couldn't leave a moment of glorious image.
He would never want to do it himself.
"Be careful! Don't shave the potatoes. ”
The potatoes are buried in the ground and cannot be seen from the outside, so there is a risk that the potatoes will be shaved badly. Especially at this time, people are not familiar with this, and the planing rate will be even greater.
Unlike today's people, who are already familiar with potatoes, although they have not seen potatoes in the soil, they still have a general idea in their hearts.
The ancients had no concept of this at all, and they could use the hoe at will, which could damage all the potatoes in the field.
The first act, even if it is production, is actually an adventure.
The two Zhuang soldiers who were selected to shave potatoes are the kind of people with a calm personality, and it is difficult to guarantee that they have this patience with frizzy people.
If you cut it twice, you make a mistake, open and close, and you break the potatoes, then you can't keep the seeds.
Qin Zhen's share of the potatoes in this piece of land still has to be kept as seeds, and they can't be wasted and destroyed.
The first potato tree produced six potato fruits, which grew and became fat.
Because Qin Zhen is very concerned about this, Zhuang Bing is very interested in this. It is also extra care, fertilization, and more than elsewhere, so that the potatoes in this area grow stronger than the crops in other places.
It's normal for this to happen in the test field. Therefore, the output of this potato field may not be low!
The first potato was gouged out, and the rest of the potatoes were quickly planed out.
At first, the soldiers were still cautious and did not dare to move the hoe, and when the hoe loosened the soil, they used their hands to dig potatoes and fruits in the field. That level of caution is no less than preparing for a big war.
This, indeed, has a greater impact on them than the outcome of a battle, and it is impossible to be too cautious.
However, after the first potato was shaved, the other potatoes were much easier to plan. After all, this is not a high-tech technology, only a certain amount of labor experience is required, and it is easy for the soldiers to master the skills of potato shaping.
Farmers have this quick learning skill.
The area was not large, and soon, all the potatoes in the field were dug out and piled there, like a hill.
One point, it is already very good to have so many harvests, and Jia Tanchun and the others have to be surprised.
But is it really edible to eat such a bunch of things that are so dark and not slippery? Jia Tanchun and the others are still suspicious!
Therefore, although I saw so many potatoes piled up into a small mountain, everyone felt that the output was really good. However, there was not much joy and excitement either.
Because if this thing can't be eaten, then it really doesn't make any sense for them to grow this kind of thing, so what's there to be excited about?
Everything depends on the practicality of this crop!
Qin Zhen looked at everyone and knew what kind of mood they were in, but now was not the time for them to experience how effective this potato was.
There are so many people on the scene, if you want to boil potatoes to eat, how many seeds do you have to eat? Let's talk about it next time!
"Okay, thank you, you have cultivated so many potatoes, and in the future, you are all people with great merit. Even the people of the whole world will be grateful for your kindness in the future! ”
"Now, take good care of these potatoes, and next season, we will use this to grow more potatoes, and then we can know how much more delicious and nutritious this grain will be than our ordinary grain."
"Let's keep up the good work!"
Yes, their work has not been completely successful, and they still need to continue to work hard!
Zhuang Bing also knew that such a little potato, even if it could really be eaten, it would not solve any big problems, they really were, they could only use this as a seed.
Think about it, it was just a potted plant, but now there are so many harvests, if these things can really solve people's food ration problems, then next season, their harvest will be more.
That's a big deal.
Full of hope, the soldiers collected the potatoes in the farm's warehouse.
After successfully cultivating potatoes, Qin Zhen's mood was also half relaxed, and his mood could be said to be very good at this time. In his heart, at this time, the beautiful blueprint for the future has been unfolded, and he can almost see the picture of the country being smooth and the country and the people safe.
Next, does he have to think about his own expenses and the prosperity of his family!
Man, there seems to be such an obsession in his bones! Inherit your genes as much as possible. So there were meritorious people in ancient times. They are all groups of wives and concubines, and the emperor is even more exaggerated.
Three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand harem beauties, he can do whatever he wants.
Qin Zhen, the dick of this new era, doesn't seem to have any other grand aspirations, only thinking about this.
In fact, he also contributes to the country and society! Isn't he what he deserves? Qin Zhen often defends himself in his heart.
It's a shame that young people in the new era have such a high ideological sentiment!
"Grandpa Guo, if you go outside in the future, can you take me with you!"
When Qin Zhen returned to the Guogong Mansion, Diao Chan came to speak to him very flatteringly.
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he said, "You don't usually even have my name. Is it all screaming? Why are you so respectful and polite now, why? ”
Diao Chan denied: "How can I usually call you by your name? Didn't you call me that when you were my enemy? Haven't you been being respectful all the time now? ”
"Humph!" Qin Zhen snorted slightly.
