Chapter 515: Estimating Potato Yields

Cooking a good meal is nothing to Zhang Xiaoxue, she knows too many dishes, and the vegetables and meat at home are complete, so it is naturally very easy to prepare a table of meals.

After preparing the menu, she went to the kitchen and handed the menu to Er Man, because there were many dishes in the menu that Zhang Xiaoxue would know in modern times, and she forgot whether she had taught Er Man, and she was worried that there would be any dishes in the Er Man's menu, so she asked.

"Erman, take a look at the menu I wrote, are there any meals in it that you can't cook?"

Er Manu took the menu, looked at it carefully, and after making sure that she could do all the dishes in it, she replied: "Master, I will do all the dishes in the menu, please rest assured." ”

After getting Erman's affirmative answer, Zhang Xiaoxue was relieved.

"Well, let's prepare the ingredients in advance. ”

After Zhang Xiaoxue finished speaking, she and Er Fu prepared the ingredients they needed tomorrow in advance before returning to their house.

In the afternoon, the ethnology was a literature class, and Zhang Xiaoxue wanted to be lazy very much, but she thought that in addition to reading and writing, she could also listen to the elders tell some stories about customs and customs, so she and her brothers went over there again.

The position of sitting in the class of ethnology is consciously divided into two sides, and Zhang Xiaoxue naturally has no reason to sit with her brothers anymore.

Zhang Xiaoxue glanced at it, and casually found an empty seat in the position where the woman was sitting.

It's just that what Zhang Xiaoxue didn't expect was that Yingzi and Lianxiang were like flies, and they deliberately switched seats with the two little girls next to her and sat on her left and right.

"Xiaoxue, I haven't seen you for a long time, since you invented the promotion of pancakes, I have been detained by my mother to spread pancakes at home, and I have never had a chance to come out.

Fortunately, because of ethnography, I was able to come out of the house a few times. Hey, it's going to make me depressed......

Lianxiang actually looked at Zhang Xiaoxue with a resentful gaze, and said something slightly complaining, as if the relationship between the two was very good, and they were very familiar.

"It's okay for you to spread pancakes at home every day, every time I go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, no one is with me, Xiaojing also goes to Xiaoxue's house to work, I work alone, wouldn't it be more unlucky......"

Yingzi also complained on the side and said, as if she suddenly remembered something, and changed the topic, "Xiaoxue, is there still a shortage of people to sell pancakes at your house? Can you let me go to work too? My father and mother said that I was almost annoyed to death by them......"

"There is no shortage of work at home, and everyone is full. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue rejected Yingzi cleanly, and it happened that the elders of the five clans came to class, so Zhang Xiaoxue stopped Lianxiang and Yingzi from chattering.

Yingzi and Lianxiang glanced at each other, and they were very disapproving of Zhang Xiaoxue's cold attitude.

But because of Zhang Xiaoxue's current status as the county lord, the two didn't dare to show a dissatisfied look in front of Zhang Xiaoxue, so they could only hold their depression and dissatisfaction in their hearts.

The two flies, one on the left and one on the right, made Zhang Xiaoxue not feel very good, and finally got out of school, ignoring the two people who wanted to chat with her, and went home with her brothers.

After dinner, the family went to the yard to chat and enjoy the coolness, and Zhang Xiaoxue took out a few portions of ice cream stored in the food storage cabinet for the family to taste.

"Wow! What is this? It's so cold and delicious! It's in such a beautiful glass cup. ”

Zhang's mother scooped a spoonful of ice cream with a small spoon, and after eating it in her mouth, she couldn't help but admire.

Zhang Xiaoxue smiled, it seems that every woman can't resist the temptation of ice cream.

"Mother, this thing is called ice cream, it is made of eggs, milk, and sugar, and it is best to eat in summer, it is very cool and relieves the heat, but because it is a cool food, it is not good to eat too much. ”

"Sister, this ice cream is delicious!"

Bin'er ate the delicious food, and squinted her eyes happily, she liked the ice cream in her hand so much.

Of course, Zhang's father, Yuan Guang, and Yuan Lei also liked the ice cream in their hands very much, and praised this new delicious food.

While eating ice cream, the family discussed how to entertain His Royal Highness King Yan tomorrow, and listened to Zhang Xiaoxue say that one potato plant produced six large potatoes.

Of course, Zhang's father knew how old the potatoes were at home, and Zhang Xiaoxue explained.

"The potatoes are not as well-proportioned as the ones taken out of the master's farm, but the size of each potato they grow at home is the size of a man's fist. ”

"One plant bears six large potatoes, so many. ”

The family was very happy to hear what Zhang Xiaoxue said, potatoes, a new crop, were not only successfully planted by them, but also had such a good yield.

Zhang's father estimated the yield of potatoes in his heart.

"Ahh ”

Father Zhang thought that he had miscalculated, and calculated it twice, and the calculated amount made Father Zhang also taken aback and couldn't believe it.

According to the amount he calculated, it was more than 1,000 catties at least, and the potatoes in this half acre of land caught up with the crop output in several acres of fertile fields in previous years.

Although I have long heard Zhang Xiaoxue say that potatoes are high-yield crops, I never dared to think that there would be so much, so Zhang's father couldn't wait to dig out all the half an acre of potatoes planted in the backyard and confirm it.

But after saying that, he would wait for His Royal Highness King Yan to check the number of potatoes together, so he had to press his temper and think that he would dig out all the potatoes tomorrow, and he would be able to determine it.

The more Father Zhang thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing that it was the next day.

Of course, the family is very happy about the high yield of potatoes, and there is nothing more joyful for the rural people than to get a good harvest of the crops planted.

With this good news, Zhang's father also wanted to tell his father that Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather's house also planted potatoes on half an acre of land.

At that time, Zhang Xiaoxue took out two potato seeds, which were enough to plant two acres of land, Zhang Xiaoxue planted half an acre in her own backyard, and her grandfather's family also planted half an acre.

The remaining acres of potato seeds were planted by the uncle's family, and the uncle's family planted an acre of potatoes inside and outside the yard.

Although the potatoes they grew two families were, Zhang Xiaoxue did not send fertilizer for them to use, and after listening to his grandfather, he also used some of his own farm fertilizer.

It is estimated that even if the yield is less than the potatoes grown in their backyard, it will not be much lower.

Tomorrow, after harvesting your own potatoes, you might as well take His Royal Highness Yan Wang to dig out the potatoes of his grandfather and uncle's family.
