Chapter 734: Freljord's Great Harvest

Demacian sweet potato, a crop native to the Dornhold Peninsula in southwestern Demacia.

This plant, with its furry leaves and sturdy vines, was originally thought to be a weed in the field – they can grow in a variety of fields, from fertile to poor.

Moreover, its growth cycle is very short, as long as a vine of Demacian potato appears in the field, within two months, a radius of ten meters will be covered with this plant.

Demacian agronomists spent a lot of effort studying the potato in order to find out how to remove it – and they were surprised to find that underground, the potato has huge tubers where it stores its nutrients.

And the way to remove the sweet potato is also very simple - as soon as you find the tuber of the sweet potato and dig it out, the vine will quickly wither.

These ugly tubers are the essence of the whole plant!

After realizing this, agronomists with relatively large brains began to think about the question of whether these tubers can be eaten.

The conclusion is neither optimistic nor optimistic.

Numerous experiments by agronomists have proved that this tuber is slightly toxic when eaten raw - after eating it, people will experience symptoms of dizziness and loss of balance for several days.

And if the tuber of the sweet potato is heated for cooked food, it has a natural smell......

That's right, according to the Demacian Encyclopedia of Agriculture, no matter what method is used in Demacia, as long as it is heated, it will produce a taste similar to that of a corpse after decay.

But this is not difficult for the industrious Demacians.

After realizing the advantages of Demacian sweet potato in terms of yield and cultivation, a large number of agronomists devoted themselves to the study of Demacian sweet potato, and they tried various methods to try to make the tubers of this plant more palatable.

Then, they all failed.

No matter how hard these Demacian agronomists tried, the tubers of the Demacian potatoes would always stink when cooked—and their change was to change the smell to a different style.

For example, the smell of fungal infections in the feet, the smell of digestive residues......

Similarly, unheated Demacian sweet potatoes are always poisonous.

In desperation, the study of Demacian sweet potatoes was finally shelved - now they are the feed of the Demacian people to feed large animals, and the microtoxicity of sweet potatoes still has a relatively large impact on people, but it is not a problem at all for large animals, especially meat animals.

In this way, the sweet potato became the exclusive fodder of the Demacian people.

And some of the Alvarosa people who had gone to Demacia this time had drunk too much bastard, and got up hungry in the middle of the night, and the barbarians who had not yet sobered up could not find anything to eat, and at last somehow ran to the place where the pigs were kept at the inn to grab food from the pigs—while some of the other guys who had drunk a little less criticized the bastards, and then made a fire and roasted the sweet potatoes they had taken.

Although the stench was also irritating to these brutes, they were driven by hunger to eat all the baked potatoes.

The next day, the Demacian in charge of the reception smelled the stench in the mouths of these barbarians, and the whole person was stupid - he took a long time to react, these Freeljod barbarians actually went to grab food with pigs?!

This became a joke in Demacia, and the Freljords made a big fuss - but it was because of this that they learned about such a thing as a potato in Demacia.

Demacian sweet potatoes are hardy and cold-tolerant, and the main edible tubers are buried in the ground...... Although he was ridiculed and wanted to burrow into the ground, Cagro, as the head of the regiment, discovered its infinite potential!

It's not that Freljord hasn't introduced crops, but the barren environment and the perennial low temperatures mean that no other crops can grow here!

But sweet potatoes are different!

This thing is cold and drought resistant, although it is a little unpalatable, but it can really fill the stomach!

The people of Demacia would dislike the foul smell of sweet potatoes, but is this a problem for the Freljords?

Every winter, Freljord's newborns usually die at least a third of them - and the biggest reason for the premature death is that the mother does not have enough to eat, does not have enough milk, and has nothing suitable for the child to eat!

It's normal for the Demacians who are accustomed to eating all kinds of delicious foods to look down on sweet potatoes, but the people of Freljord definitely don't hate it!

Cagro, who had grown up after being around Rhodes for a long time, used his disgrace to buy potatoes and sweet potato seeds from Demacia in large quantities - and the disgusting Demacian nobles rarely did not stop them, but regarded them as the stupidity that Freeljord wanted to cover.

In this way, the Frost Fleet brought back the Demacian sweet potato.

Ash was skeptical of the crop's wonders—but with the attitude of giving it a try, she carved out a useless clearing and planted a batch of potatoes in Demacia.

There was no watering, no weeding, and they buried it in the soil.

In the second month, the range of Demacian sweet potatoes doubled.

Cagro led the men and dug up the huge tubers of the Demacian sweet potato that had grown in the ground.

There's a play!

Receiving the news, Ash sent people to bring sweet potato seeds to the northernmost part of the Freljord subcontinent, where the snow and ice do not melt all year round.

The potatoes from Demacia were planted in freshly cleared snow and buried the next day by the snow.

Then, another month later.

When Cagro once again led the men to dig up the Demacian potatoes by following the markers, he also got a huge tuber!

Temperature does not affect the growth of Demacian sweet potatoes!

Ash, who had received the news, could not hide her excitement, and she ran excitedly to the open field where the potatoes were planted, and knelt down in front of the humble plant.

For the people of Demacia, it was nothing more than a plant to feed their animals, a by-product of the fields – but for the cold and barren Freljord, these humble Demacian sweet potatoes were the best gift of all!

All the Demacian sweet potato seeds were planted in the field, and a month later, Avarosa held a great harvest festival!

Bumper harvest!

This is a word that exists in the myth of Freljord, something that none of the three sisters could do.

Those gray-haired Elders Freljord, they have lived for decades, and they have never really seen a good harvest!

What is Harvest?

The harvest is that even if you are not the strongest warrior of your clan, you will be able to eat enough and not shiver and face death due to the endless wind and snow!

For the first time, Freljord, a frozen soil with endless life but low temperatures all year round, has ushered in a bumper harvest!

Countless tubers of sweet potatoes had been dug up, and an indescribable stench permeated the entire tribe of Avarossa.

But at this moment, the faces of all the Freljords were not disgusted, but joyful.

What about the stench?

At least we live!
