Chapter Forty-Six: A Magical Acre of Fields
Potato? What is a potato?
Old Li Yuan was puzzled, and Xiao Doudou guessed: "Daddy, is it a bean that grows in the soil?" For grinding tofu? ”
Li Yuanying rubbed her daughter's smart little brain, "It's still smart, it's beans that grow in the soil, but it can't be used to grind tofu." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled out a potato with all his might, and as the loose soil spilled out, a series of large and small round potatoes were revealed.
Feeling the heaviness in his hand, Li Yuanying's eyes widened and exclaimed, "This, this potato, it's a bit big!" How do you knot so much? ”
Normal potatoes bear five or six large potatoes at a time, and some small ones are hung up, which is a high yield, but Li Yuanying's planting is all big potatoes, as many as eighteen.
Li Yuan pointed to the big round stuff and asked, "This is what you said about potatoes?" You call this thing a bean? ”
Xiao Doudou also pouted and said, "It's so ugly, it must be hard to eat." ”
Li Yuanying laughed and said: "Don't look at this thing, it is actually a well-known life-saving food." Dad, you said that I sold this to the second brother, how much can he pay? Will it be unaffordable? ”
Li Yuan said disdainfully: "That's it? Isn't it just a vegetable, your second brother is not greedy, you can't sell it. ”
"Who said it was a vegetable? Potatoes are common to vegetables and grains, and can be used as food to satisfy hunger, and even processed into potato flour, which is a serious staple food. ”
Staple food?
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at his youngest son's playful eyes, his heart suddenly burst, and then he looked at the pimpled potatoes, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Li Yuanying stretched out a hand and said leisurely: "The yield per mu is from 5,000 catties!" ”
What's that?
How much? Five thousand?
Old Li Yuan couldn't help but pluck out his ears and asked, Li Yuanying nodded affirmatively, five thousand, you heard it right.
"Gorou, you're not wrong, do you know the grain yield per mu in Datang now? Do you know how much 5,000 catties are? Li Yuan didn't believe it.
Li Yuanying smiled, "I know the scales, go and get the scales at home." ”
A moment later, Li Yuanying weighed the potatoes in his hand in front of Li Yuan, ten catties, a full ten catties!
"You can plant 5,000 plants per mu, or even more densely, now believe it, right?"
"This ...... Can it really be eaten as food? Li Yuan asked tremblingly.
"I'll make a potato feast in a moment, and you'll know if you taste it. But there is a condition, if you think it is delicious, you go and help negotiate the price with the second brother. Li Yuanying said confidently.
Old man Li's old face turned red, and he said, "It's all a family, why bother ......"
Li Yuanying hurriedly waved his hand: "Stop, my brother will settle the account." That's it, I'll go in person, I don't need your help, I'll just pull the bias, it's really biased. ”
Li Yuan persuaded: "Wulang, it's not for his father's partiality, you should know that this potato, this potato, if you talk about the price, it is simply priceless." Datang now has a high yield of 100 catties of grain per mu, I thought that this thing could produce 500 catties, who thought it was 5,000.
With this, wouldn't there be no more famine in Datang? So if you really want your second brother to buy it, he will definitely not be able to afford it. ”
"Then there is no way, he is the emperor, he can't afford it, I guess no one can afford it, let's eat it ourselves." Li Yuanying spread his hands and expressed helplessness.
How could Lao Li Yuan be willing to give up? But Xiao Doudou next to him couldn't wait, and urged: "Daddy, grandpa, don't fight, we're here to plant fruit trees, if you don't plant them, the gift I brought will die." ”
…… Only then did the father and son remember that they had to plant trees.
Seeing that Li Yuanying insisted on not talking about it and changed the topic by planting trees, Li Yuan could only sigh and plan to slowly figure it out.
Each kind of tree, Xiao Doudou is like a number of family treasures to introduce, what is this, what is that, when it is ripe, how to eat, etc., and even because she is born with divine power, she takes the initiative to run to fetch water when planting trees and watering them.
An hour later, after planting more than 20 trees, Li Yuanying wiped the sweat on his head and asked, "Doudou, why are all the fruit trees you brought back?" Are all the gardens of the palace full of fruit trees? ”
"No, there are only these fruit trees, and the remaining hundreds of species are flowers, and the flowers that can be seen but not eaten are useless." Little Doudou said honestly.
Useless...... I......
Li Yuanying was speechless, it seemed that it was really, it was really useless, and sure enough, the world of foodies was different.
Inside the palace, Li Er paid attention to the battle report in front of him, and had been worried about the battle situation of the Xuanjia army.
"I hope that the Xuanjia Army is lucky enough to avoid the Turkic Peak." Li Er muttered, although he was worried in his heart, he knew that at this time, maybe no news was the best news.
In the depths of the harem, Concubine Yin, the biological mother of the fifth prince Li You, was lying on the bed and groaning in pain, with only a small figure in her mind, not her own son, but the demonic little girl.
Concubine Yin's eyes were full of hatred and resentment, and she summoned her henchmen to serve the palace maid, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go, go and inform the secret guards of the Yin family, and hack that thief to death with a knife for me, and ...... the knife."
"But Niangniang, the other party's origin ......" the palace maid persuaded, because she saw that the emperor was so protective of the other party yesterday, it can be seen that the origin is not small, and according to the grapevine, it is the daughter of a prince.
Concubine Yin said hatefully: "What is the origin? I don't care what her background is, she is ashamed and humiliated, and this revenge will be avenged! Send the dead! ”
Well, if it's a dead man, there's really no way to track it down, and basically the aftermath is very small.
The Yin family is also a family of former Sui famous generals, and Concubine Yin's father was destroyed by Li Tang, and Li Er's courage dared to marry the enemy's daughter, and he was not afraid of being assassinated by the pillow man in the middle of the night.
At night, Li Yuanying coaxed her daughter to sleep, and then walked into the vegetable garden alone.
During the day, he only cares about introducing all kinds of plants to his father and daughter, and almost ignores the effect of the vegetable garden.
Because everything in the vegetable garden was planted by Li Yuanying himself, he knew best that it had only been less than a month, how could it be ripe?
That is to say, the one acre of land given by this system should be a spiritual field, which has the effect of accelerating growth, and the original growth period of 100 days has been reduced to 25 days, as evidenced by potatoes.
And the all-potato banquet during the day, Li Yuanying tasted it, this potato is not only big, but also super delicious, although there are pure natural and pollution-free reasons, but it is definitely Lingtian The effect is more significant.
Following the starlight, Li Yuanying happened to catch a glimpse of the two inconspicuous dwarf trees in the corner, which were ...... Aren't those the first two tea trees planted? Already grown up?
Pressing the excitement in his heart, driven by curiosity, Li Yuanying picked a handful of leaves and walked to the kitchen.
But he didn't see it, and a dark shadow in the night followed.
