Chapter 219: Potatoes

Qingzhi finally asked the system for a bag of potatoes, and according to the system, the potatoes can be cut into pieces and planted, and there is no such thing as "seeds", anyway, Qingzhi believes it.

It's a shame to say that she didn't ask for potatoes to benefit the people of Zhou, nor to save money for Ritsu Zichuan, but to ......

She's hungry for KFC combos.

On the day he got the potatoes, Dong Zhan peeled more than a dozen potatoes and made a meal of fried chicken and fries for everyone to eat.

The response was very mediocre!

Sun Erniang said that the chicken was not as good as braised chicken, Liu Yiyi said that it was better to stew chicken soup to drink, and Ritsu Zichuan tasted it, frowned and said 'greasy'.

Dong Zhan shouted, 'No reason! But since the acceptance of the masses was not high, he had to honestly give up the plan to open KFC in Zhou Guo.

Thinking of the lack of hay, Qingzhi and Dong Zhan opened a piece of land near their residence, and still planted potatoes as originally planned.

There are many varieties of potatoes, and the green branches are suitable for planting in pastures and sandy land, and the growth cycle is only more than two months.

Two months passed quickly, and the rain was in the right temperature, and the harvest was very good.

After Dong Zhan got the consent of Ritsu Zichuan, he took most of the potatoes to the experiment and fed them to the horses.

Then, it was found that the potatoes should not be added more than 10% at most, otherwise the horses would have gastrointestinal upset.

Potatoes are not a substitute for hay.

Dong Zhan sat in front of Song Qingzhi with his head downcast: "It's terrible that I'm uneducated!" Wasted a system reward for you. ”

Song Qingzhi said while eating fried potato chips: "It's okay! People love to eat! They don't like to eat French fries, but they all liked it last time I made shredded potatoes, by the way, didn't you also say that the people in the account office like potato stew, and the soldiers who wash and feed the horses like baked potatoes? I think it's still very good. ”

Dong Zhan came to the spirit again, and discussed with Sun Erniang in the evening to go to the city to sell potatoes to make money, Sun Erniang immediately agreed, and also analyzed that the yield of potatoes is higher than that of other grains, and if you can sell it, you will definitely make money!

Only then did Qingzhi remember that he had read the news before the crossing, saying that potatoes were cold-tolerant, insect-resistant, water-resistant, drought-resistant, and had high vitamin and starch content, making them a good food to withstand famine.

In ancient times like the Zhou Kingdom, where the grain output was relatively low, maybe potatoes could really benefit the people.

But...... If you want to promote it nationwide, you have to find some official of 'Si Nong', right?

It's too much trouble, forget it.

Early the next morning, Dong Zhan and Sun Erniang took a bag of potatoes to the city gate to peddle, but the people of Liangzhou had never seen this kind of food, and no one dared to make up their minds to buy it.

Slowly, the people on the ranch ate less, and everyone came in and out pretending not to see the potatoes in the bag at the base of the wall.

The potatoes are hot, and that's it.

It wasn't until the end of autumn, when everyone was about to forget about it, that a Tibetan man came to the door and inquired about buying this 'taro potato', saying that he had heard about it from the people who washed the horses.

Since the assassination of the Zhou people by the Fan people and the revenge of the King of Ren breaking into the Fan Country Post House, the Zhou people generally have no good impression of the Fan people, and the people in the ranch do not pay much attention to him, and the people guarding the gate take him to Dong Zhan's account room with a cold face and leave.

However, the Tibetan man brought good news to the pasture: he wanted to buy potato seeds, and the price was very high, according to Dong Zhan's original words, the Tibetan man said very modestly, let us make the price. ’

Sun Erniang took the lead and said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" These potatoes can't even be fed to horses, and they can't be sold, so how can anyone spend a lot of money to buy them? ”

Liu Yiyi also said: "If you open your mouth, you will make a price with us, and you will not be a businessman at first glance!" This Fan must have ulterior motives! ”

Qingzhi nodded wildly: That's it! This local tyrant's attitude, I feel like I'm here to make trouble!

Everyone looked at Ritsukogawa to see what he had to say.

Lu Zichuan thought for a while: "The climate of the Fan country is cold all year round, and the soil is poor, isn't it just suitable for Dong Zhan and Qingzhi who don't know how to buy that kind of seed?" ”

When it came to 'buy it back', he glanced at Qingzhi and saw that she lowered her head in a weak heart, so she turned her face away, and continued: "Maybe it's really here to buy seeds, Dong Zhan casually made a price and saw what he said." ”

Qingzhi remembered Ji Xiyun's matter, and also said: "King Ren colluded with the Fan Country Post House to kill people, after the grand ceremony, most of the people in the post house were stranded in Liangzhou, or held official positions, or did business, we contacted this Fan person, and saw if there was anything wrong with him." ”

Everyone said let's talk about this business again.

When Ritsu Zichuan pretended to be the envoy of the Boang Kingdom, he had a lot of contact with the envoys of the Fan Kingdom, and this time he could no longer come forward, and Qingzhi needed to avoid the people of the Renwang Mansion, so Dong Zhan, a native of Lishan, still came forward to discuss the potato business with the Fan people.

Soon Dong Zhan came back with news: this Fan man seems to be really about the seed business, and he bid two thousand taels, but the condition is to buy out, and in the future, the people in the ranch are not allowed to sell or plant potatoes anywhere in the Zhou Kingdom.

After hearing this, Liu Yiyi first shouted: "Then let's not sell it yet!" Although I don't know what this potato is for, since someone spends so much money to buy it, the value of the potato must be more than two thousand taels! It's my gut feeling! ”

Ritsu Zichuan didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at Qingzhi: "What do you think?" ”

Dong Zhan also looked at her: "You are in charge, you are the first to ...... this potato from the beginning discovered. ”

Since this Fan is just a normal businessman, then ......

Song Qingzhi only thought for a second and said, "Then hurry up and sell it!" Two thousand taels! ”

Two thousand taels!

The next day, Song Qingzhi and Dong Zhan borrowed a large ox cart from the pasture to transport forage, loaded them with potatoes and entered the city, preparing to transport this batch of potatoes to the suburban warehouse designated by the other party.

It is inconvenient for the ox cart to go up the official road paved with masonry, and it is a dirt road.

At the beginning of autumn, the scenery is quite good, and if it weren't for sitting on a pile of potatoes, Qingzhi might have enjoyed the process.

While driving cattle, Dong Zhan discussed with Qingzhi how to divide the two thousand taels.

Song Qingzhi raised his eyes: "How do you say it?" ”

Dong Zhan laughed twice: "Of course the big head is for you, after all, the system gives it to you!" But it's really hard to water and catch insects on a hot day! And negotiate with these Tibetan people......"

Qingzhi said angrily: "Hey! In the summer, I didn't do the farm work of watering and catching insects side by side with you? Sun Erniang taught me to weed, and it was only after I used my brain to ponder that I was able to give full play to my farm skills......"

"Okay, okay, okay, can't you do it in 28? I'm two, you're eight! ”

Qingzhi thought about it, although she followed the crowd and always made an attitude of loving money, in fact, she couldn't even do addition and subtraction, and she didn't have much concept of money, so she felt that twenty-eight points sounded fair, so she nodded and agreed.

The two of them sat leisurely on the potatoes, and an old cow took them and the potatoes to the designated warehouse at noon.

The people came out quickly, handed over the silver ticket with them and unloaded the goods with one hand, and then said with a smile, "I suddenly have something important today, and there will be a period later, cherish it." 'It's obvious that you're going to see off a guest.

Dong Zhan whispered in Qingzhi's ear: "Damn! The people of Fan really crossed the river and demolished the bridge! The first few times we met, I was dragged back to chat for a long time, and finally invited me to dinner! ”

"We only earned two thousand taels! Rich! Why don't you want to eat someone else's meal for nothing! ”

Dong Zhan blushed: "Actually, I want to stay here and borrow their toilet for a ......"
