494 Digging potatoes
After practicing for such a long time, she is not the weak Jiang Yunzhao she used to be, but Jiang Weilan, who has a strong physique and strong hands. It's just a little taller than a half-human, and it's nothing to her now.
Yue Niangzi herself is not a rigid person, and she doesn't think that girls should pay attention to a lot of rules, so she was not surprised at all when she saw Jiang Weilan like this, and even wanted to praise her for her rapid progress.
It's just that Yue Niangzi is not in this mood now, and in the past few months, she has always been curious about what kind of crops Jiang Weilan has planted in these dozen or so wooden boxes.
Although Jiang Weilan has said before, this crop is called potatoes, and it is a crop that is very suitable for growing in arid places.
But she also had some insight in asking herself, but she never knew that there was a crop called potatoes.
What's more, water is the most important thing for the growth of crops, if there is no water, how can it grow well? If there is really such a crop in this world, it can be expected that it will solve the problem of how many people will eat, and she dare not say anything else, but the promotion of potatoes will definitely attract the attention of many people, there is no doubt about this.
Because of this, in the process of planting potatoes for such a long time, Yue Niangzi can be regarded as a lot of effort, and she will come to observe every two days to see if the potatoes have changed.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she pays more attention to potatoes than Jiang Weilan.
Yue Niangzi participated from beginning to end, she watched those small seedlings come out of the ground, and she also saw those weak seedlings slowly grow up, and then flower, and then the flowers began to wither, and then later, even the stems and leaves began to wither, but she didn't even see whether this crop called potatoes was round or flat.
Could it be that this crop grows in the soil like peanuts? If this is the case, I am afraid that it may not be delicious, the taste of peanuts is really not delicious, I just hope that this fresh crop is not too bad.
In fact, Mrs. Yue only appeared when Jiang Weilan was about to dig potatoes, and she didn't pass by here occasionally, but when she heard that Jiang Weilan went to the greenhouse where potatoes were planted today, she rushed over to take a look.
Yue Niangzi's inquiring eyes looked at Jiang Weilan, but Jiang Weilan's face did not show anything too special, but instead looked indifferent.
In the eyes of Yue Niangzi, she felt that Jiang Weilan must have been completely sure, she must be confident, and she firmly believes that potatoes can produce well.
But only Jiang Weilan, who was standing on a high place at this time, knew how violent her heartbeat was, if it weren't for the fact that Master was standing next to her, she didn't dare to guarantee whether she could still guarantee such a peaceful state of mind now.
For potatoes, a fresh crop, Jiang Weilan, like Yue Niangzi, can be said to be completely unfamiliar, and he doesn't know what will happen after digging it out, or it will be unexpectedly good or a failure at all.
If Jiang Weilan still has a little confidence in this, it must all come from her trust in space and trust in Yuquan Water.
Her space comes from the gift of Shennong's family, and as long as it is related to agriculture in this world, it will definitely achieve good results.
Even if everyone thinks that planting peanuts is relatively unsuccessful, Jiang Weilan believes that it must be useful, but their knowledge is shallow and they don't realize it.
"Weilan, why don't you dig?" Seeing Jiang Weilan standing in a daze, without any movement at all, Lady Yue began to be anxious, and couldn't help urging her.
Jiang Weilan said with a smile: "I have to ask for the blessing of all the gods first, if it is really a cold-resistant crop, my thousands of acres of Zhuangzi will be useful in the future." ”
Yue Niangzi listened to Jiang Weilan's words, but she didn't doubt it, isn't it, Jiang Weilan's two Zhuangzi in the northwest are not small, but they are both mountainous, and the yield of crops planted is very low.
The big box that Jiang Weilan is standing in at this time is a box that basically doesn't water much on weekdays, this box can be said to rely on the sky for food, and only relies on rainwater, Jiang Weilan decided to dig the two potatoes in this box first.
If even the potatoes in this box can be well produced, it proves that the crop is worth promoting, especially in the other two Zhuangzi where there is only dry land.
Slowly squatting down, holding the small shovel in his hand, Jiang Weilan began to dig up from the withered seedlings of potatoes little by little. Of course, she was careful when she dug for fear of hurting the crops below if she pushed too hard.
It took almost half a cup of tea before and after, and Jiang Weilan finally cleaned up a layer of soil on the surface of one of the potatoes. What was exposed was a round, light yellow ball, which was supposed to be a potato.
Jiang Weilan's spirit was shocked, although she couldn't see it very clearly, but she felt that there should be three or four potatoes, and she had already seen the unique yellow color of potatoes emerging from the soil.
If she is not dazzled, it means that there are at least four potatoes on this potato, even if one potato weighs half a catty, four potatoes also weigh two catties, which is really not a low yield.
Thinking of this, Jiang Weilan became more and more careful to clean up the remaining soil around him, but the speed became faster unconsciously, and soon, Jiang Weilan saw two potatoes of different sizes, measuring that he could almost get the potatoes out at once, Jiang Weilan worked hard, and then pulled the potatoes out of the soil together with the withered seedlings.
A bunch of potatoes was heavy in his hand, and Jiang Weilan looked at the seedlings with joy as they hung three potatoes about the size of a fist, an egg, and three potatoes the size of a bird's egg.
Yue Niangzi also couldn't close her mouth a little, what is this crop called potatoes, and it can have such a yield.
She also knew very well that this was the box of potatoes that Jiang Weilan was worried about the least, if even this box could have such an output, wouldn't it mean that the yield of potatoes in other boxes was far higher than this, so how high can the yield of a potato plant be in those boxes that serve the most carefully? Yue Niangzi can't imagine that ordinary crops have a maximum yield of three or two hundred catties per acre, but if they are replaced by potatoes, there should always be more than a thousand catties, right? It's unimaginable!
Rao is Yue Niangzi is a calm person, seeing such a bunch of potatoes appear in front of her, she also feels that she may be hallucinating, her heartbeat began to speed up little by little, and she even heard the sonorous sound of her own heartbeat.
