Chapter 169: Autumn Harvest II
"Too much fertilizer? What do you mean? “
"Oh, a chemical fertilizer that can increase the production of food, but at the same time the quality of the food will decrease"
"I see, but it's good to increase production, after all, when you're full, you have the heart to think about the rest."
The peddler looked at Li Er with a crooked face, an emperor is actually like this, shameful!
While speaking, Li Er had already swallowed a sweet potato, fully demonstrating the spirit that an emperor should have to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!
After eating, Li Er still looked at the hawker's still smoking wild stove, the hawker reached out to take a branch, pulled out another one from the ash heap, and rolled it to Li Er's feet, Li Er didn't dislike it, he picked it up and ate it by himself, this was originally what the vendor was going to keep and take back to Li Yue'er to share, it would be cheap Li Er!
At this time, the officials were also busy working on the edge of the drainage ditch, and for a while, the drainage ditch in the whole field was like encountering a training army, digging thousands of holes, and there was wolf smoke everywhere!
Li second-hand under these guys who are not diligent in their limbs, eating the raw sweet potatoes that they have burned, and their faces are full of spring breeze, as if they have done something amazing!
After the vendor finished eating the sweet potato, he jumped to the cornfield to find a few ripe late corn, and threw the whole skin into his own wild stove to stuffy, and the officials did the same, to break a few and throw them into their own stove, and when they saw the corn they took, the hawker was powerless to complain, so old corn, I will see how you will gnaw it in a while!
Niu Youde has been accompanying him, watching these dignitaries work blindly, the old man is proud and a little distressed at the same time, these people are clean and bad for the crops, and after looking around, the uncle's craftsmanship is good, it seems that the uncle said that he was also born as a farmer, and it should be right to think about it!
After everyone tossed it, the sweet potato seedlings were finally cut off and pulled away, and the villagers carried them? Head, the shovel happily prepared to dry.
Li Er stretched out his hand and pulled the vendor over, "Dabao, you let them dig an acre of land first, I'll see how much this thing can produce in an acre."
The "line" hawker turned around and explained the matter to Niu Youde, and the old cow head went down to command dozens of juniors to work together to dig out an acre first!
As soon as the posterity heard that the emperor was waiting for the result, he immediately took off his clothes as if he had eaten Brother Wei, and started to dry up shirtless, of course, he did not rule out showing off to the women who were squatting behind and holding sacks of sweet potatoes!
The women were quick with their hands and feet, but they carefully packed each of the sweet potatoes that were turned out into the sack, and as soon as the sack was full, someone helped to mention it in front of Li Er!
One acre is not much, but under the busyness of everyone, the time of one class is over, and Li Er also piled up one or twenty sacks of sweet potatoes in front of him!
"Come on, go through the scales"
"Yes" walked out of the guards, took the large scale prepared in advance, and passed through the ring with a wooden stick, and the scale hook hooked a sack, and the two of them raised the sack with a hey!
The old man Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and moved the weighing stone back, and it was almost moved to the copper hoop on the tail of the weighing rod, and the weighing rod was only a little slippery, "two hundred and forty-five catties"
The eldest grandson Wuji took out the paper and wrote it down, "Two hundred and four, four, five, the next bag"
"One hundred and eighty-three"
"Two Hundred and Six"
…
There are a total of nineteen bags, each bag looks like an average of 200 catties, after the weighing, everyone was dumbfounded, and there were earth-shattering cheers for a long time!
Li Er emotionally took the peddler's hand, "Dabao is really auspicious, it seems that the marquis who gave you the official time last year is a little small, just looking at the output of this thing, at least you have to be a duke, don't you say?" ”
None of the people present objected, after all, the yield of sweet potatoes is too scary, 4,000 catties per acre, what is this concept, a family of five, planting one acre of land every year is enough to eat, Datang solves the problem of food and clothing in advance, and the next step is to move towards the rhythm of a well-off society!
Li Er, who was excited, didn't know what to think, and suddenly his smile froze on his face, "Eh, that Dabao, I was happy to visit just now, I forgot to ask you something"
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"How do you put this sweet potato? Last year, it was easy to say that my family planted less, but this year, almost the entire north of the Yellow River has planted this thing, not to mention more, that is, only 100,000 mu, which is also a large number, I have to find a way to save it, right? ”
"It's simple, cut into slices and dried, and then it's the same as storing other grains, of course, the sweet potatoes stored in this way don't taste good when eaten, you can also dig a hole in the ground and put the sweet potatoes whole in it."
"There is also a storage method that requires some technology, that is, this thing is like grinding tofu, after grinding, filtering out the residue, then clarifying, drying, the rest is the same as flour, and then stirring this powder into the pot, making a paste, serving it, squeezing it into strips with a colander or something, it becomes vermicelli, and it can be stored for a long time."
The first two methods that the hawker said, Li Er can still understand, but the one who makes noodles in the back, Li Er listened confusedly, "Forget it, I won't understand it for a while, in this way, in the future, I will go to a few officials in charge of agricultural affairs, you teach them this method, let them sort out the book, and distribute it to the next state capital."
"That's up to you, okay, after reading the sweet potato, let's take a look at the corn."
"Okay, Uncle Niu, also give me an acre of land first, and I will estimate the yield first."
"Your Majesty, you're all right."
With the cooperation of the same dozens of people, the corn of one acre of land was packed into bags and placed in front of Li Er, but this time it was a little less, but it was not much less, you must know that the corn will still grow on the cob!
The two of them came up to lift the scales again, Xiao Yu and the eldest grandson Wuji had a scale, a memory, and the result was that the corn yield of one acre was about 1,500 catties!
After Li Er got the result, the leek leaves on the back molars of the smile were exposed, "Okay, good, these two kinds of artifacts, sure enough, God bless me Datang, come here, select ten corn and sweet potatoes in good condition, I want to bring them back to Taimiao to comfort the ancestors"
There is a diligent get the letter and go to the field, and the hawker who sees it is distressed, this is my home!
"Okay, that's all for today, hey, by the way, I haven't been to Dabao's school for a long time, everyone, how about visiting together?"
Who dared to object, everyone followed Li Er to Niujiazhuang Hope School, and saw eight big characters painted with red paint at the school gate from afar: Centennial plan, education-oriented!
The walls that extend along the gate to both sides are painted: no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for children.
From time to time, there were bursts of reading aloud in the school building, Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and walked into the campus, where some children were in physical education class.
Of course, there is no physical education teacher, for those balls, physical fitness, the hawkers themselves do not understand, the Taoist priest is even more blind, simply, after the hawker buys things, directly throw them into the equipment room, during physical education class time, the children send a ball to play!
This will happen to be a class in physical education class, a few children grab a basketball, there is no discipline at all, whoever has the strength to hold the ball will throw it into the basket, and the small one has to sit on the ground and be stupid!
Li Er stood on the road and looked at it with great interest for a while, "Heh, this thing is interesting" (to be continued.) )
