Chapter 158: Here Come the Potatoes

There was nothing but deathly silence, except for the sound of breathing.

Fujiwara Kanencho's whole body trembled at this moment, which shocked the other people around him.

"Sweet! Hahahaha! Sweet! Sweet! Fujiwara Kanenaga seemed to have lost his mind, and he held half a potato in his hand as if it were a treasure, as if he were on a pilgrimage.

It was the first time he had felt such a sweet taste, and the last time he went to Kamito was lucky enough to taste a mouthful of maltose that only the emperor could enjoy. The smell had been something he had never forgotten, but now, this ugly thing had made him feel the sweetness that made his brain shudder again.

This is actually because of the special reasons of this land, the productivity of Sakura Country is extremely low, and coupled with the fall outside the city, Levi, the head of the Fujiwara family, can barely eat enough food. As for the rest, I am afraid that only a few people, such as the emperor and shogun, will be able to enjoy the maltose made from wasted grain.

Even the great nobles may not know what sweetness feels like all their lives, let alone the middle and bottom commoners?

Sweetness is the biggest stimulus engraved in human DNA, and even human desire for sweetness is far stronger than any desire.

People who have never tasted sweetness in their lives will really be addicted to it after tasting it, and even go crazy.

A chain reaction occurred, and more people began to look at the earthy yellow potatoes on the ground with panic on their faces, and at this moment they lost all expressions, and only stared at the potatoes in front of them blankly.

"This is a potato, so you should think that I got the food from the god Takamagahara. This crop prefers cold rather than heat, and can grow smoothly even in frozen soil, making it suitable for winter farming. Moreover, the yield per mu is more than 20 stones (more than 2,000 catties). Levi said.

In the past, cherry blossom-flavored potatoes could be grown in the permafrost of Siberia, but the coldest weather in Kyoto in winter was minus a few degrees Celsius.

The people present felt as if thunder had fallen from the sky, and some even opened their mouths as if they were demented.

At this stage, the yield of grain per mu in Kyoto is only about 300 catties, that is, a little more than two stones, and when Levi said that the yield of potatoes is more than ten times that of grain, everyone only felt that he was talking about myths.

"Big ...... Lord, are you wrong, two stones, not twenty stones......" Someone said tremblingly, as if trying to correct Levi's mistake.

"No, you heard it right, it's twenty stones per mu. And even the production will only be more. Levi said, thinking to himself, but the land needs to be fertile enough.

"Hiss......" The whole room could only hear the sound of gasping, and I was only amazed in my heart, turning up the stormy waves, and I didn't dare to move.

"So, I asked, if you can give me Kyoto to eat this crop?" Levi glanced around and said.

No one answered Levi, they were confused and disbelieving at the moment. Totally unbelievable. This is so shocking to the people of their island country that they can't believe it when it comes to mythology.

"Then choose a piece of land annexed by the Fujiwara family and plant it, and after two months, you will naturally understand inside. From today onwards, all of you will give me Kyoto my way! You guys, you know? Levi finally asked.

"Ha Yin ......"

When the Fujiwara family meeting dispersed, Levi handed over a dozen potatoes to the family.

Levi had to arrange some things and then began to raid the homes of the scholars. Actually dared to play economic leverage and monopoly under his nose, or to attack the grain, and rob while the fire was burning, Levi felt that all of these people should be killed.

No, it's too wasteful to kill, so let's plant potatoes all in the winter and let the cherry blossom-flavored potatoes bring warmth to Kyoto in this cold winter.

Maybe it's really like Chihime said, after coming to this world and experiencing some things, he changed and became cruel.

Levi came to the hall next to his room, where Fujiwara Chihime was waiting for him, and not only that, but there was also a girl with short black hair, who was bored playing with her hair at this time.

"Brother, this is the helper I helped you find, Fujiwara Miko, the illegitimate daughter of Fujiwara Bubi who was waiting outside with a geisha that you killed before. This time, I asked her to help manage the potato cultivation you mentioned. Chihime Fujiwara introduced.

"Huh? Fujiwara is not better than waiting? Who is it? "Levi really doesn't remember this person. He had killed so many people that few of them had made him impressed.

And he looked at this girl, with short black hair and a coarse cloth dress, she looked a few years younger than Fujiwara Chihime, and she didn't look like a noble child of the Fujiwara family at all.

Although Levi is very short of manpower now, Levi, a junior high school student who looks like he is only about fourteen years old, really doesn't think he can help much.

"It's a rotten person anyway, it doesn't matter if you kill him or not. Lao Tzu just came to beg for a life at the suggestion of Sister Qianji. The girl named Fujiwara Miko came to Chihime Fujiwara and said.

Levi instantly felt a question mark, he suddenly felt that there was a problem with his language proficiency (D-level), how could he suddenly translate a self-proclaimed name named "Lao Tzu", or a girl who looked like a junior high school student.

Fujiwara Chihime directly knocked her on the head, causing her to cover the part in pain. Easy-going said: "Don't mind, brother, she grew up in foster care to a farmer's family, and she has not returned to the Fujiwara family for a few years, and she has not been fully exposed to family education. But she's been exposed to farm work since she was a child, so she should be able to help you. ”

"Sister Qianji, Lao Tzu is just ......" Fujiwara Miko didn't finish speaking, and another hand knife struck her on the head.

"Literate?" Levi didn't care about the girl's way of speaking, which was out of place with the aristocracy, he just asked.

"Lao Tzu knows more than 100 words, and it's no problem to even flip through ancient books or something." Fujiwara Miko said directly.

"Yes." Levi directly reached out and took out a few books from the space, his requirements for people in this era have been very low, as long as it is a person, alive, and can read, then come and work.

After all, even if the entire Fujiwara family is counted as a separate family, there are only a dozen people who can read and write.

In this sad era, as long as you can read, you are already talented. No one picked him.

Two books were placed in front of her, one "Potato Cultivation Techniques" and the other "Classical Composting Method". All of them are extracted from the artificial intelligence Yin Wa information database and translated and printed with the world's simplest sentences.

Potatoes are a good crop, but they consume a lot of soil fertility, so his men in charge of farming must learn at least the classical method of composting.

"I don't ask about birth, I don't ask about achievements, I don't look at age. I'll just look at the potato harvest in two months, and if the results satisfy me, your geisha mother will also be able to officially become a member of the Fujiwara family and become a nobleman. Levi put the two books in front of her and said,

"This is the book you are going to study, read it well. Also, change the self-proclaimed 'Lao Tzu' to 'I', although I don't like any aristocratic classes, but at least the way of speaking should be normal. ”
