Chapter 805: Ten in One Household
Liu Guogen's mouth grinned on his cheeks, and he said continuously, "Great, great!" β
Mr. Nameless wiped the dirt off his hands and looked at Lan Yi approvingly, "The merit is immeasurable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Sir is right, the merit is immeasurable! Hahaha! Liu Guo laughed even more, "Brother and sister, do you know what it means to have a yield of 4,893 catties per mu?" β
Without waiting for Lan Yi to answer, Liu Guo looked at the cheering villagers around him with burning eyes, opened his arms, and laughed heartily, "It means that one acre of land can be used as twenty acres, and it can feed twenty times as many people!" It can make the world less famine, and the people can live in peace. Brother and sister, brother and sister, this is a great merit, and the merit is immeasurable! β
Lan Yi hooked the corners of her mouth and said modestly, "To have today, it was Hua Changye who brought back sweet potatoes, and Lord Liu sent someone to take care of it, Lan Yi just contributed a piece of land, and he didn't dare to take this merit." β
Liu Guo was even more stunned, and then laughed again, tears came out of his eyes, and he only contributed a piece of land, she was really, really, really...... Let Liu Guo change, I don't know how to comment.
"Mother, the sweet potatoes are all properly placed in the yard." Yu'er pulled Wen Xuan and ran up, and the two of them followed Jia's family to collect and release sweet potatoes at home, watching baskets of sweet potatoes brought in and piled up in the yard, and their happy mouths never closed.
Lan Yi nodded, "Okay." Lord Liu, the remaining five acres will also be harvested, right? "The five acres next to it were propagated by sweet potato cuttings when the mango was planted, and now it is time to harvest.
Liu Guo smiled and nodded, and waved his big hand, "Receive!" β
The crowd cheered and got busy again. Cutting sweet potato vines, digging out sweet potatoes one by one with a pickaxe, shaking the soil to break the baskets, weighing, and proceeding in an orderly manner.
The five acres of land were harvested after more than an hour, and then, they all held their breath and waited for the officials to report the number.
"Five acres of land, a total of 12,500 catties, 2,500 catties per mu." The two officials reported in unison.
The crowd was still cheering, cheering loudly.
Lan Yi also nodded with satisfaction, these five acres were cut later, the size of the sweet potato is already small, and it is already very amazing to have such a yield. In fact, if put in modern times, sweet potatoes are sown in spring, the yield per mu reaches more than 5,000 catties, which is a common thing, and it is also common to propagate 4,000 cuttings in summer, but the time and space are different, and the current yield is amazing enough.
Liu Guo's eyes were fixed on the tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes on the ground, and the turbulent waves in his heart were indescribable. According to the agreement between him and Lan Yi, these sweet potatoes are at his disposal, tens of thousands of catties, according to this year's situation, how many catties can this pile of sweet potatoes become next year?
If the number is large, Liu Guo can't be counted!
"Zhao Lizheng, tell everyone, this official wants to rent the horse-drawn cart and ox cart in the village, and pull these sweet potatoes back to the yamen!" Liu Guo instructed Zhao Lizheng even more excitedly, "In addition, tell everyone again, each household can take ten sweet potatoes back and try them!" β
Zhao Lizheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and led the villagers to thank Lord Liu like a tsunami, and everyone began to line up to receive sweet potatoes. Zhao Lizheng instructed people to set up a car, and on the other hand, he instructed his son and Niu Xiuyao to share sweet potatoes with everyone in charge of the village.
There is no need for Zhao Lizheng to give more instructions, and everyone also knows that when they receive sweet potatoes, they pick a small collar. The fat man took the sweet potato, carefully held it and ran to Lan Yi, and asked seriously, "Second sister-in-law, can I store these ten sweet potatoes in your cellar, next spring when you have a mu of seedlings, I will also plant sweet potatoes next year, ten sweet potatoes, how many seedlings can be produced, and how much land can be planted?" β
Many villagers had the same idea as the fat man, holding sweet potatoes, carefully surrounding Lan Yi, looking at her with blank eyes.
Even Zhao Lizheng and the others listened attentively.
Lan Yi smiled, "A sweet potato can produce thirty or forty seedlings, ten is three or four hundred, and it can be more than one field in the spring, and it can be cut more than one acre in the summer." β
Zhou Lao is the most sensitive to numbers, his eyes rolled, he stared at the ten sweet potatoes in his arms, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I'm a mother, these ten sweet potatoes in our arms will become three thousand catties next year?" β
Everyone looked at the ten sweet potatoes in their arms in disbelief, all as if they were holding family heirlooms, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, can you help us save it?" β
Lan Yi smiled, "Lord Liu gave it to everyone, because he wanted everyone to try it, and everyone didn't want to eat a piece?" β
Everyone shook their heads vigorously, "I don't want to, eat a piece, I will lose 300 catties next year, and I will eat it again next year!" β
Seeing this, the greedy Qianmo smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that this sweet potato tastes like wood, and you will regret planting it next year?" β
Zhao Shicai looked at Qianmo with a serious face, "Don't talk about wood, it's like a stone, it's also a treasure." With this thing, you won't go hungry, it's better than anything else! β
Everyone was silent for a while, especially the people in the crowd who had been affected by the disaster this year and fled here, their eyes were even red, no one knew better than them what it was like to be hungry, "Boss, help us save it, please." β
Lan Yi's heart was also sour, "I can't save this sweet potato for everyone." β
There was a look of disappointment on everyone's faces.
Lan Yi continued, "I have a cellar at home, but if I put the thousands of catties of sweet potatoes in the yard, it will be full, so I can't put sweet potatoes for everyone anymore." However, I can tell you how to put sweet potatoes. β
The fat man still shook his head and turned his head to look at Zhao Lizheng, "Uncle Lizheng?" β
Zhao Lizheng was also a little hesitant. Niu Xiuyao saw it and suggested, "It's better to do this, let's dig a cellar in the courtyard of the village department according to the method that Aunt Tuesday said, gather together, and next year there will be another mu of seedlings, and divide the seedlings according to households. β
Everyone nodded again and again, and unanimously agreed, "Cheng, Cheng, this method is good." Zhao Li pondered for a while, and also felt that this was a safe method, so he nodded.
Liu Guo smiled even more, this young man surnamed Niu is not slow in his brain, he is a talent.
Subsequently, the cars pulling sweet potatoes slowly set off from the village and headed towards the county seat. Before leaving, Liu Guo thanked Lan Yi cautiously again, and made an appointment with Xiao Qi on the day of harvesting sweet potatoes before returning to the county office.
In the fields in the Xiaoqi Valley, four acres of sweet potatoes were also planted, but for safety, they were not publicized to the outside world. Xiao Qi's mood at this time is also very excited, according to the output of his sister-in-law here on Tuesday, he has 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes there, 10,000 catties~~~
Xiao Qi smiled stupidly and followed Lan Yi home.
When they arrived at home, everyone stared at the bonfire in the middle of the courtyard, the two beautiful maids who were roasting rabbits by the bonfire, and Mr. Jingxiao, who was eating raw sweet potatoes next to him.
Mr. Nameless smiled, "Jingxiao, you really enjoyed it." β
Mr. Jingxiao wiped his mouth and beckoned to everyone, "Come on, come on, the rabbit will be fine soon, the old man has prepared a lot of game, and the sweet potatoes have also been dug and buried a lot, let's eat game first, and then eat baked sweet potatoes." β
Everyone was speechless and turned their heads to look at Lan Yi.
