Chapter 525: The Excited Crowd

More than 50 slaves, scattered among the potato seedlings of half an acre of land, and there was a person every few steps, but it was really easy to harvest the potatoes of this half acre.

When the slaves were digging up the potatoes, they saw that after the slaves had dug up all the potatoes from the whole plant, there were five or six fist-sized potatoes falling from under the potato plant.

Everyone who was chatting and watching on the side couldn't sit still, and involuntarily stepped forward behind Yu Wenze, who got up, and watched the potatoes dug up by the slaves up close.

Yu Wenze was not too dirty, bent down and grabbed a potato plant that was placed at the feet of the slaves, weighed the weight of a potato that fell below, and the surprise on his face could not be hidden.

He had already thought about it in his heart, such a potato plant actually produced six fist-sized potatoes, and then saw that slaves were digging out the potato plants one after another, and each one of them had six large potatoes.

Such a good deal, the yield per mu of potatoes may be much higher than the yield of potatoes that Zhang Xiaoxue took out the seeds and told him at that time.

Thinking of this, Yu Wenze's heart was suddenly very hot, and he really wanted these potatoes in the field to be dug up quickly, so that he could count the final yield per mu.

The people who stepped forward also followed Yu Wenze's movements, and each picked up a dug potato seedling, and happily weighed the big potato in his hand.

"Your Highness, there are so many potatoes in this potato, and the weight of each potato is not small, so a seedling weighs three or four catties. ”

"Judging from the potatoes dug up now, the potato yield of this half-acre land can catch up with the grain harvest of several acres of fertile land, which is great!"

"Well, how can this potato yield be so high? If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it. ”

Everyone sighed that the yield of potatoes was very high, Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather was a little trembling with excitement, and then everyone in the venue was full of excited smiles.

"Sister Xiaoxue, this potato plant has six potatoes of this size, I weigh this weight is not light, so calculated, it is estimated that the yield per mu is much higher than what you said at the time. ”

Yu Wenze looked at Zhang Xiaoxue's eyes shining, and once again felt fortunate that Zhang Xiaoxue was able to obtain such a high-yield crop from her immortal master, and handed it over to him to take to the Department of Agriculture to expand planting and obtain more grains.

Zhang Xiaoxue saw Yu Wenze's happy expression, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's not like that, I didn't expect the potatoes to bear so well, and the potato yield I told you at the time is also the most conservative estimate." ”

"Haha...... Your Highness, when potatoes are popularized in our Yandi, the grain income of our Yandi will not exceed the grain output in the south......"

The fat man heard Yu Wenze and Zhang Xiaoxue talk about the yield of potatoes, and he also said happily on the side.

"Jiangsu County in the south has always had the title of the land of fish and rice, and after this potato is popularized and planted in Yandi, it will not be called the land of fish and rice, and it can also be called the land of granary.

In a few years, after potatoes are popularized throughout the country, our country will also be a grain-producing country. ”

Eagle Da also said happily, as long as he thought of the future prospects, he couldn't help but be excited.

Everyone was discussing the yield of potatoes enthusiastically, and when they estimated how much they could have, the patriarch of the village and the six elders of the clan came here.

Their eyes recognized Yu Wenze, who stood out among the crowd, and knew that he must be His Royal Highness King Yan.

In addition, the two of them, Ying Da and the fat man, who came here with Yu Wenze last time, the patriarch and the six clan elders, they recognized them at a glance.

The seven of them hurriedly stepped forward, first met His Royal Highness King Yan, and then saw the two of Yingda and Fat Man, and then looked at the potatoes that were dug up.

On the way here, I heard Zhang Zhenhai say that today Zhang Xiaoxue's family harvested a crop called potatoes, and the yield was very high.

For this reason, His Royal Highness King Yan came here in person, and asked them to come to visit, and at the same time let them witness the yield of potatoes per mu.

Although they had long heard Zhang Zhenhe say that large patches of potatoes were planted on the wasteland reclaimed by their family, they had also gone to see it, and the growth was very good.

Unexpectedly, they planted half an acre of potatoes in their backyard, and it was already ripe time, because it was the first time to see potatoes, so when they looked at the potatoes they dug up, their eyes flashed with surprise.

At that time, they also heard Zhang Zhenhai say that the yield of potatoes was very high, so they alarmed His Royal Highness King Yan to personally check the yield of potatoes.

Seeing that a seedling had five or six fist-sized potatoes, and then thinking about so many potato seedlings in half an acre, the seven people were also shocked in their hearts, this yield was too high.

They thought that Zhang Zhenhe had said that the potatoes and corn planted in their field were planted as grain by the villagers after harvesting.

Even if it can't be planted this year, but next year, every household in the village and Zhang Zhenhe's family have bought grain seeds and planted them, and when it comes to harvest, the total grain output in the village will be too much for them to believe, right?

"Brother Zhenhe, when was this potato planted in your backyard planted?"

The old man wanted to know how long the potato planting time was, and wanted to see how many stubbles he could plant in a year, if it was the same as corn, he could earn two stubbles, so he couldn't help but ask.

"This potato seems to have been planted at the end of March. ”

Hearing the question of the elder of the clan, Father Zhang thought for a while, it seemed that it was the end of March, and after Xue'er was injured, he took out the potato seeds and planted them.

After the question of the elder of the big clan, everyone also remembered that it was only the end of June and not yet July, and it took a maximum of three months from planting to harvesting of this potato.

In this way, potatoes can be planted at least twice a year, and if every household has potatoes to grow, how can there be people who can't eat enough.

"Haha, that's great! With this kind of high-yield potatoes to grow, our farmers in the north will never die of hunger in winter......

"Yes, it's really exciting to think about, Zhenhe's family's newly reclaimed wasteland, but there are still large patches of potatoes, Zhenhe has promised the villagers, when the harvest is harvested, it will be given priority to the villagers as food.

I see that the growth of potatoes over there is also very strong, and I guess the yield is not much lower. ”

Everyone was talking one after another, and there was excitement in their tones.
