Li Dashan also kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, and his heart was excited, "Yes, my God, an acre of land harvests thousands of catties, I have never heard of such a high-yield crop!" The village chief, the village chief, don't help with the work, you should hurry to the county seat now, and tell Lord Qincha that we have high-yield sweet potatoes, and one acre of land is thousands of catties. ”

When Village Chief Li heard this, he nodded again and again, "Yes, I'm going to tell the adults." If such a high-yield thing can be planted in our north, the common people will be able to eat their stomachs. ”

Liu Pan'er patted her head, she actually forgot to show her merits, "Village Chief, you go directly to Gu's house and tell Master Gu that I will leave one acre of land and wait until Lord Qincha comes, and then dig it." I'll load two baskets for you, one basket will be sent to the delicious building, and the other basket will be sent directly to the Gu family. ”

Village Chief Li was also not polite, "That's okay, I'll go now." ”

This time, Village Chief Li took his son Li Yuanjia together to drive the ox cart, and he could also take care of him along the way.

At noon, Liu Paner invited everyone to eat sweet potatoes and taste the taste. Everyone ate sweet potatoes and thought they were delicious, but they didn't eat the flatbread made by Liu's.

Throughout the day, more than a dozen people dug up all the sweet potatoes in one acre and six points of land, and carried them to the door of Liu Paner's house one by one, piling them full.

Liu Pan'er visually measured that the yield per mu was at least 5,000 catties.

Liu Paner paid everyone, and everyone else accepted it, but Li Er waved his hand in a daze, resolutely refusing.

"Yuan Qing's family, the sweet potatoes of my few acres of land are still cut from the sweet potato seedlings pinched from your field, you were kind at that time, you didn't want our money, but I Li Er couldn't take advantage of your family in vain. Your two acres of sweet potatoes, my family came to help, no money. I don't care about others, but I, Li Er, don't take advantage of your family. ”

Liu Pan'er was quite surprised, she used to think that this Li Er was too cautious, and she especially liked to take advantage, but she didn't expect to do things so openly this time.

Li Dashan didn't ask for it, "My sweet potatoes are also cut from your sweet potato seedlings, without you, how can we have several acres of sweet potatoes?" ”

They may not know how much sweet potatoes are worth now, but when they are harvested, they will be able to eat enough food, which is kindness.

Originally, those who took the money also put the money on the table one after another, and did not want to be paid.

Liu Pan'er couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said: "Everyone works for my family, I pay the salary, and it is a matter of course, I can't do without wages." Those sweet potato seedlings, even if you don't pick them, I will pick them and throw them away, so that the leaves do not grow too much, and the sweet potatoes below will not grow. ”

"That's not good, you can't ask for wages." Li Er was stunned and had already gone away, and resolutely did not want Liu Paner's family's wages.

Everyone also left, saying that they didn't want Liu Paner's family's wages.

One of the villagers patted his thigh as he walked, "My mother, is what the Yuan Qing family said true?" If you don't remove the excess sweet potato seedlings on the top, the sweet potatoes below won't grow? ”

Li Dashan nodded, "Isn't this an obvious thing?" When the top grows, the underground does not grow. ”

"I was lazy, I didn't think it mattered, so I didn't pinch off the extra forks, and now I go again, can I still be in time?" This villager is about to cry, others have collected five or six thousand catties, and his family has collected less, so he has to die of distress!

Li Dashan snorted angrily and reprimanded his nephew, "I told you before, you can't be sloppy about farming." You fool you for a while, and the earth can fool you for a year. ”

"Uncle, I know it's wrong, you can remind me more in the future!"

"Uncle Dashan, these sweet potatoes are so delicious, how much can they sell for a catty? Can it be sold for thirty dollars a pound and a half? ”

Li Dashan rolled his eyes, "What do you want?" Let's calculate it according to 5,000 catties per acre of land, 30 yuan per catty, and one acre of land can be sold for 150 taels of silver. ”

Li Er was stunned and was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Brother Dashan is right, don't be greedy, even if you have a penny and a catty, this acre of land is five catties of silver." ”

······

The families in the village were excited, they used to watch Liu Paner and the village chief's family harvest the crops in the field and sell them for money, but now the sweet potatoes they grow can also be sold for money.

It's a novelty, and it's also high-yielding, maybe the price can be sold at a high price, and it can sell for a lot of money.

Liu is responsible for cooking, taking care of the children, and doing housework at home today.

At this time, she looked at the sweet potato at the door and was dumbfounded and silent for a long time. Today, there are so many sweet potatoes in one acre and six points of land.

"Third brother and sister, this sweet potato is really high-yielding." Liu sighed, holding a sweet potato in his hand, as gently as a child.

Delicious and productive, it's a lifesaver sent by God.

Liu Pan'er smiled, "Yes, it's just that sweet potatoes are not easy to preserve, so they need to be placed in a cool place, and when they are dried outside, we will put them in the cave." ”

"We can cut it into slices and dry it to keep it longer." With so many sweet potatoes, I am no longer afraid of not being able to eat enough in the future. ”

Liu Paner replied: "Yes, and our rice will mature in half a month, and our paddy field of nearly ten acres can harvest a lot of grain." ”

The family thinks about a good day of rice and sweet potatoes.

Let's say that Village Chief Li came to the county seat with his son Li Yuanjia, and happened to arrive just before the city gate was about to be closed.

Village Chief Li took the sweet potatoes directly to the delicious building and found the shopkeeper Li.

"Shopkeeper Li, this is our newly planted sweet potato, it is fragrant and sweet, boiled and baked, and it tastes very good." Village Chief Li smiled, his attitude was warm and polite, "Please also ask Shopkeeper Li to accept it." ”

Shopkeeper Li recognized Village Chief Li and came to sell peppers and tomatoes before.

Today, they made dishes with tomatoes and peppers, which were very popular, so Shopkeeper Li was also very polite when he saw Village Chief Li again, "It turns out that Brother Li, please quickly." ”

Village Chief Li shook his head, "Shopkeeper Li, we won't go, and I will send the remaining basket to Lord Qincha Gu." The yield of this sweet potato is very high, and the production capacity per mu reaches four or five thousand catties. Master Gu loves the people like a child, and must be interested in this high-yield crop. ”

"Huh?" Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the basket in front of him, and there was a big red fruit in it, "Four or five thousand catties per mu?" ”

Village Chief Li replied: "Yes, shopkeeper Li, four or five thousand catties is still a conservative number, where the land is good, where there is more fertilizer, the output is more." ”

When the shopkeeper Li heard this, the bookkeeper explained, and asked the chef to take the sweet potatoes to the kitchen, so that the cook could study how to eat them, and he took the father and son of Village Chief Li to meet the master directly.

At this time, the Gu family.

Master Gu has been in Xunyang Mansion for the past few days, quite busy, and has just returned home.

While drinking tea, I was talking to my grandmother about the things I had encountered outside in the past few days, picking out some interesting ones to make her happy.

At this time, the subordinate came in with Shopkeeper Li.

Lord Qin Cha Gu raised his eyebrows, and asked suspiciously: "Shopkeeper Li, is there something wrong with the delicious building?" ”

Shopkeeper Li shook his head and replied respectfully: "Back to the young master, old lady, everything is normal in the delicious building, because there are tomato scrambled eggs, tomato egg soup and dishes made of chili peppers, and the business is thirty percent better than in the past." Now the old slave came over, and it was the village chief Li of Lijia Village who sent two baskets of sweet potatoes, which have now been harvested, and the yield per mu is as high as four or five thousand catties, which was specially sent to the delicious building and the young master. ”

With a "bang", Lord Qincha Gu's hand slipped, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, "Sweet potatoes actually have a yield of four or five thousand catties?" ”
