Chapter 123: Excavation

Su Zhiyuan took Banxia's hand: "Lady, you can rest on the side, we men can do this kind of rough work." ”

Master Xu also said: "Mrs. Su sit, a few of us will be done in a while." ”

"Lady, are you hungry, haven't you had breakfast? Weak. ”

Banxia touched his belly and screamed: "Then I'll prepare some tea and snacks, and come over to rest when you're tired." ”

"Okay." Su Zhiyuan replied softly.

Su Zhiyuan, Master Xu, and Master stood in a row.

Lord Xu is from a scholarly family and has never farmed, so he has a feeling of not knowing where to start at this time.

The master has experience: "This is similar to a radish, you have to pull it out!" ”

Su Zhiyuan made a final decision: "Pull the vine up, let's try it first." ”

Although Lord Xu has never done farm work, the man has great strength, and he is still very fast at pulling sweet potatoes: "That's it, this round is sweet potato?" ”

Master and Su Zhiyuan came around.

Su Zhiyuan picked up the sweet potato, shook off the mud on it, and put it in his hand and weighed it: "It's more than half a catty." ”

Several people dug continuously for a while, and most of the sweet potatoes weighed between half a catty and one catty.

About two square meters of land, sixteen catties of sweet potatoes were dug up!

Lord Xu's whole body was shaking, and the master was no better.

Although Su Zhiyuan had known the result for a long time, he still had some fluctuations in his heart when he saw it with his own eyes.

Banxia came over: "Lord Xu......"

Before he finished speaking, the old man who was over half a hundred years old began to cry, and his snot and tears were like pressing a switch, and he couldn't stop it.

Banxia: ......

Half a cup of tea passed, and everyone's mood gradually stabilized.

Xu Dadao: "According to the current situation, the yield per mu can be estimated...... At least a thousand pounds! ”

Now the grain yield per mu is hundreds of catties, and only a better one can reach three or four hundred catties, and so far in Dongyang country, the best yield is five hundred catties per mu!

The sweet potatoes they planted, according to the algorithm of two square meters and sixteen catties, have six thousand catties per acre!

That's astronomical for them! I can't even think of it!

Yes, six thousand catties circled around in Lord Xu's mouth and became a thousand catties.

Even if the production capacity per mu reaches 1,000 catties, it is a major event that shocks Dongyang!

Su Zhiyuan said: "And potatoes!" Let's dig up the potatoes too. ”

Lord Xu said repeatedly, "Okay, good."

Banxia said: "Because the planting method of potatoes is incomplete, we divided it into two pieces at that time. ”

"Oh?"

"The front piece is a potato cut with one or three buds on it, and the back piece is a whole planted potato."

Su Zhiyuan said: "Okay, then we should pay attention when digging, dig the pieces in front and put them in the back, and put the whole ones in the back." ”

Everyone worked together, and in a short time, the open space in the courtyard was full of potatoes.

Comparing the quantities, it was found that the yield of potatoes was similar for both cut and whole crops.

The master said happily: "Since the yield is about the same, it is still cost-effective to cut into pieces." ”

Lord Xu held the potato in his left hand and the sweet potato in his right hand: "The potato is much smaller than the sweet potato, less than half a catty, but the yield is also very high, comparable to the sweet potato." ”

"How do you eat this?" Master Xu looked at Banxia with two pairs of eyes.

"Since it's food, it's a lot to eat, but I'm ......"

"Mrs. Su doesn't need to be modest," Master Xu said, "Even if your father didn't write it in his book, I think I should have heard it a few times when I was a child, and I hope Madame will think about it carefully." ”

The master said: "There is Mrs. Lao!" ”
