Chapter 254: High Yield
In the gentle light, the mountains are far away.
The breeze came slowly, and the villagers all stood on crutches with a smile.
Think of it as a halfway way street.
Gongsun Jing squinted his eyes, and said in his heart that this should be the high-yield crop that his granddaughter said.
He estimated in his heart that if such an acre could produce three hundred catties of things that could be eaten, he would not need to speak more.
But if it is less than 300 catties, what kind of rhetoric should he use to help his granddaughter persuade these villagers to promote planting?
He had a smile on his face and his mind was spinning.
Tian Kai's single arm is not very convenient, and he has been much richer recently, and when he squats, his belly is out of breath.
He simply tucked the corners of his robe around his waist and knelt down to pick up the dirt.
"Jing Gong, that kid said that this thing can not make people starve to death, it must be very productive, right?" Gao Huai asked with a smile and stroked his beard.
The lesson of the Lian family is in front of him, in Gao Huai's heart, the Gongsun family is really good at acting, and I don't know what kind of drama it is at this time.
He looked at Gongsun Jing with a look that saw through everything.
Gongsun Jing didn't know what was going on in front of him, so he smiled confidently: "Gao Gong, wait and see." ”
"Okay, okay." Gao Huai stroked the beard on his chin and nodded repeatedly, just let him wait and see.
The other villagers didn't have such an eighteen-bend mental journey as them, and they all held the scene with a smile.
Soon, with Tian Kai's movements, a sweet potato vine was pulled up first: "These vines are peeled out of the tender heart, and it is also a good dish to fry with an iron hammer, and the rest of the old ones will be sent to the pig farm." ”
Tian Kai said while working: "The white pig in the lonely bamboo village has a good appetite, is willing to grow fat, is very fat, and is very moist. ”
With that, he smacked his mouth, and his jaw trembled twice.
Gongsun Jing saw that he was full of food, a little funny, and was about to ridicule him.
In a loud noise, a piece of soil was turned up by the field, and the roots were connected, bringing out a long string of lumpy crops.
Gongsun Jing was shocked.
He made a preliminary estimate, and his heart tightened.
Gao Huai slowly lowered his hand, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
The thing called sweet potatoes has about five or six on a bunch, so that one acre of land is ......
Gao Huai was about to ask Gongsun Jing for teaching, so he heard Tian Kai say in frustration: "The vine is broken again." ”
He wondered in his heart, what had broken it?
"Hehe, Tian Gong, look at me." Zhao Xi on the side said.
Gao Huai turned his head in confusion, and saw a long bunch of sweet potatoes placed in front of Zhao Xi, a large nest of more than a dozen densely packed, with soil, which looked amazing.
This is Gongsun Yan's experimental field.
The old croppers were specially invited to serve this piece of land, and the fertilizer was supplied in sufficient quantities.
The sweet potato, which was originally a special variety of the system, is particularly scaring in this field.
The long string of sweet potatoes covered his heart fiercely when he saw it.
"Jing Gong!"
Gao Huai's voice changed, and he turned his head to ask Gongsun Jing, but he felt his arm sink.
Gongsun Jing closed his eyes expressionlessly and fell towards him.
"Jing Gong!" Gao Huai hurriedly helped him up, didn't he just let him wait and see?
Why did you fall first?
There was a commotion around him, and a few villagers fell down with hiccups on the left and right.
The healer next to him hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly pressed a few fast-acting heart-saving pills under the tongues of these people.
Apply the needle to the chest and act quickly.
The entourage of various families rushed up, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
After a while, Gongsun Jingchang, who was lying on the ground, let out a sigh of relief, and the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was: "Dig!" I'm going to dig it all. ”
His mouth was full of the cool smell of the quick-acting heart-saving pill, and he got up from the ground with agility that was completely inconsistent with his age, and commanded all his followers to go down to help.
An anxious villager had already run over and grabbed Gongsun Jing's robe sleeve tightly: "Gong Jing, what is this?" What is it? ”
Gongsun Jing was in no mood to answer now, and looked into the field with his feet on his feet.
Tian Kai was frightened enough by their dizziness, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Tian Gong, go and find it! Fast. Gongsun Jing urged repeatedly.
"Okay, don't worry!" Tian Kai supported him with his soft fat body, and his left hand gave him a smooth breath on his chest, "Go find it immediately, don't worry." ”
Tian Kai is really scared now, if one or two of these old men die here, it will be too unjust.
Zhao Xi organized a doctor to save people at the scene, and when he heard the rumors, he called an entourage and asked him to go to a nearby village house and find a regional manager to borrow the name.
Gao Huai had already called the agile entourage to get a sweet potato, wiped the mud on the satin robe at will, and put it in his mouth to bite.
It took a long time for the old tooth to take a bite, and after chewing it carefully with the mud and sand, he said ecstatically: "Sweet, crispy, you can eat it!" ”
Driven by him, a group of villagers with heads and faces held sweet potatoes with mud and gnawed them.
It's okay that the mouth is still full, two teeth are gone, and the sweet potato is full of saliva and only bites the skin, and tastes something.
Gongsun Jing also took one and was anxious to bite it.
I didn't bite it down, but the left front tooth, which had been well protected, was embedded in the sweet potato.
But as if he didn't feel pain, he muttered to himself, "High yield, high yield." ”
Where can this be described as high-yielding?
Gongsun Jing suspected that his granddaughter was deliberate.
Otherwise, you can't even prepare a healer in advance!
Xindao that dead child, do you think it's in the way of his life?
Gongsun Jing wiped a handful of blood foam from the corner of his lips.
None of the villagers' entourage remained, and all of them were driven down to dig sweet potatoes.
Zhao Xi proposed to go to the village to find a shovel, but was jointly refused.
So those followers knelt on the ground one after another, and with the same careful methods as later archaeological methods, they took out the sweet potatoes one by one and blew off the soil on them.
Even a small beard is reluctant to get rid of it.
Tian Kai supported Gongsun Jing to sit on the big stone on the edge of the field.
As early as the autumn harvest, he experienced such a scene, so he ordered someone to collect some dead leaves and firewood.
Gongsun Jing licked his empty front teeth and gums, his hands trembling in his sleeves.
Can this land produce a thousand catties?
No, no, you can't expect too much, that eight hundred pounds?
But even if it's 800 pounds.
As soon as he thought that this thing was from the Gongsun clan and was held in the hands of the Gongsun clan, Gongsun Jing wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.
Soon, it was borrowed back.
The steward of the area also followed after hearing the news.
The big bucket that weighed the grain was inconvenient to carry, and only brought a small scale, which was weighed in batches and then added together to calculate the total amount.
So many people were crammed into an acre of land, and soon a pile of hills was piled up on the edge of the ridge.
The steward hurriedly led the men to weigh.
Gao Huai threw away his crutches and stood by the side to watch, while counting the numbers.
"Jing Gong, there are four stones now."
In this way, the harvest of three stones is already considered a good harvest in other places.
And here, the sweet potato hill has just weighed a small tip, and there are still retinues of various villagers in the fields who are digging desperately.
Gongsun Jing took a breath, looked up at the vast sky, and a line of tears ran down his cheeks: "Okay! All right! ”
————————
To add here is that the Han Dynasty units of measurement were confused.
One stone of Han is about one hundred and twenty catties of Han
Han two catties = modern one catty
Therefore, the data in the text is directly converted, and one stone = modern 60 catties.
These settings, the author of the original main station said that they were explained inside, but the channels were not synchronized, so I would like to add a word.
