"This is the potato seed, do you see the little sprout on it? When you plant the potato, put the little sprout in the digging pit, you must place it facing up.

After filling the soil, don't forget to water a little, the distance between the potatoes and the potato plants is best about 15cm, about 60cm between each row, the depth of the ditch is about 6 to 8cm, after the potato seeds are covered with soil, raise the ridge to 12 to 15cm.

The reason for this deep spacing is that when the potatoes are grown, they will be like peanuts, they will be fruits that grow in the ground, and each potato plant can produce about five or six potatoes.

The potatoes are much bigger than peanuts, so they can't be too close to each other, otherwise they won't grow so many potatoes.

Oh, by the way, when ploughing the ground, don't forget, be sure to plough deeply, potatoes are the fruit that grows in the ground, and they like soft soil. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaoxue simply took out a ripe potato and asked Dasi Nong to see what the ripe potatoes looked like.

Da Sinong stepped forward, took the potatoes in his hands to check, and saw that the potatoes taken out by Zhang Xiaoxue were so big, and checked the weight of the potatoes with their hands, this potato must weigh about four or five taels.

And Zhang Xiaoxue said that one plant can produce six to seven potatoes, so calculated, the yield of this potato is too much, and the Dasi Nong thought in their hearts, this final yield, if it is really as Zhang Xiaoxue said, is not only twice the yield of corn.

The corn planted in their agricultural department has a yield of about 500 catties per mu, and after the potatoes are ripe, even if there are only six of them, there must not be more than 2,000 catties per acre, which is not only twice the yield, but also four or five times.

The little officials of Dasi Nong felt that what Zhang Xiaoxue said might be a bit exaggerated, how could there be such a high-yield crop?

But even twice as much is not bad, and the grain output of 1,000 catties is something they never dared to think of before.

"Let's go, let's go to the field now, and plant two acres of potatoes first. ”

Yu Wenze said as he walked to the potato seeds that Zhang Xiaoxue took out, asked his space ring to collect two bags of potato seeds, and prepared to go directly to the field to watch, he couldn't wait for the potato seeds to be planted in the ground now.

By the time they walked to the planting field, there were many peasant workers in the two acres of idle land who were already ploughing the ground in full swing, using two oxen to pull the plough together.

Zhang Xiaoxue saw that the iron plough they used to plough the ground was still the old-fashioned iron plough they saw in the blacksmith shop, so she said to Yu Wenze: "Brother Ze, I just went to the blacksmith shop this morning to collect a new type of iron plow.

Do you want them to turn the ground first with this iron plough I brought? ”

The big farmer and the little officials on the side, when they heard Zhang Xiaoxue say about the iron plow, they were a little unimpressed, the farm tools used in their agricultural department were the best in the county.

"Oh, what does your newly bought iron plough look like, is it more efficient than the iron plough used in the Agricultural Administration?" Yu Wenze asked with some puzzlement.

As far as he knew, the iron plough used here was the best used in the county.

"Hey, hey, I just bought an iron plough of my own design, for which I not only did not spend money on iron ploughs and hoes, but also made a small sum of silver. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue smiled hesitantly and took out two of her custom-made iron plows.

"You designed it yourself, it turns out that Sister Xiaoxue, you also have research on farm tools, it's really amazing. Yu Wenze praised while looking at the iron plow that Zhang Xiaoxue took out.

It turns out that this little girl really didn't brag, and the iron plough she took out was really different from the iron plough now used by the Department of Agriculture, and there were several more blades.

And they heard it right, the little girl actually said that the iron plough was designed by herself, and that she was really a talent.

It seems that this little girl, regardless of her young age, is still very familiar with farming, otherwise how could she have designed such an exquisite farm tool.

"The design of this iron plough is really exquisite, the iron plough has changed from one blade to multiple blades, which can be used to turn the ground efficiently, and you can go up a lot at a glance, this young lady, you are really talented." ”

Da Si Nong also said with great admiration after looking at the iron pear that Zhang Xiaoxue took out.

"Hehe! Dasi Nong, you have won the prize, since you also think this iron plow is good, I will borrow it from you first, and quickly call someone to replace it." Zhang Xiaoxue said to Da Si Nong with a smile.

"Okay, I'll get someone to put it on and see how efficient this iron plow is. Da Si Nong happily agreed, and hurriedly shouted loudly to the people over there to come and change the iron plow.

After replacing the iron plough with the new iron plough brought by Zhang Xiaoxue, sure enough, the ox pulled the plough more lightly, and the area of the ground was also deep and wide.

It's really easy to use, and the few people I see it are happy and smiling.

Dasi Nong hurriedly asked Zhang Xiaoxue where she could make this iron plow, and Zhang Xiaoxue told the address of the blacksmith shop where she made iron plows in the county town.

Da Sinong did not delay for a moment, and hurriedly ordered someone to go to the blacksmith shop that Zhang Xiaoxue said to customize the iron plow.

This is a big deal for the blacksmith shop, and the number of iron plows used in the agricultural department is not small, and the people in the blacksmith shop are not happy to receive such a large order this afternoon.

It is also a large number of people, and soon the two acres of land will be turned over, the required ridges will be laid, and the potatoes will be planted according to the requirements Zhang Xiaoxue said.

Yu Wenze and Zhang Xiaoxue, until all the potatoes in these two acres of land were planted, instructed Dasi Nong to take good care of these potatoes before returning to Yanwang's Mansion.

When he came back, it was almost dinner time, Yu Wenze invited Zhang Xiaoxue to have dinner in Songyue Ju, Zhang Xiaoxue was not polite, and went directly to Songyue Ju with Yu Wenze.

Yu Wenze was still concerned about the emergence of potato seedlings, and asked Zhang Xiaoxue about this matter.

Zhang Xiaoxue simply told Yu Wenze according to the seedling time of the potatoes grown at her home that because it may be an excellent variety on the farm, the potato seedling time is very fast, and the seedlings will emerge in only one week.

Now the potato seedlings at her house, according to Zhang Xiaoxue's estimate, should be growing vigorously, and it is estimated that when she returns home, they will be able to bloom.

Thinking that in modern times, her grandmother had also grown potatoes in the family's vegetable patch before, and she remembered that after the potatoes bloomed, after the flowering period, the potatoes could be dug up in less than a month.

Zhang Xiaoxue told Yu Wenze everything she knew, and Yu Wenze listened to Zhang Xiaoxue say that the growth time of this potato is so short, in this case, planting twice a year is more than enough. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
