Chapter 497: How Many Are There
Wu Lao Liu shook off the man's hand, "Get out!" When people said they were going to give you some planting, what did you say? Whether people want to give it to you in the future depends on whether they are happy or not! ”
Because of the kiln matter, Wu Lao Liu and the people of Huanxi Courtyard have a good relationship, last year when Shen Qingqian got sweet potato seeds, he asked a few of them, although Wu Lao Liu was not very happy, but he still wanted to plant a little bit in his own land.
The others who have a good relationship with the Huanxiyuan side also planted some meaningfully, but they usually don't take care of it much, and now the growth is average, and there is no sign of a bumper harvest.
The man pursed his lips and said in his heart, thinking that it was so easy to produce high yields? Look, if you don't meet the standard of high production for a while, see where those people's faces are swinging!
Shen Qingqian was not worried at all.
When she planted the clumps, she quietly used a little accelerated fertilizer dilution in the valley to ensure that the sweet potato clumps could survive the low temperatures, and although the growth rate was not very fast, the basic yield should be fine.
They are the most active, and after arriving in the valley, they first help the Shen family harvest sweet potatoes.
"Little Jiang, we'll do it ourselves, don't be busy." Wu was a little embarrassed.
Before Jiang Goudan could speak, Lu Shi answered with a smile, "Auntie, don't be polite to us, if it weren't for the sixth girl to provide us with seeds, our land would still be empty." ”
Although they were given to the wasteland, they had to prepare their own grain. Last year, Shen Qingqian suggested that they try to grow as many sweet potatoes as possible, but because the number of seeds is limited, they only plant less, but other grains are also lent to them by the Shen family.
The Wu family had no choice but to let them.
In this way, all the sweet potato fields on the Shen family's side were quickly harvested.
The Shen family has a total of thirty acres of land on this side of the valley, but after Shen Qingqian distributed the sweet potato seeds and vines to other families, their family only had enough land for five acres.
"Let Jean, let Jean, I've come to weigh!" Shen Yong ran quickly with a scale.
As more and more sweet potatoes were dug up just now, many people couldn't wait to go back and weigh again, Shen Yong ran the fastest, so naturally he went to borrow the scale.
Five acres of sweet potatoes are still very spectacular in the ground, and people who were skeptical about the yield of sweet potatoes earlier were so shocked that their jaws dropped just now.
"I'm dying, why haven't I finished weighing it yet?"
"Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen so much grain in the field when the old man has grown so big......"
Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw, just now Shen Qingqian took a small sweet potato and washed it in the stream flowing through the valley and tasted it, the taste was sweet and refreshing, better than what she had eaten before.
Naturally, the others tasted a few bites, and needless to say, they knew that this was something that could be used as food.
"It's done!"
"Oh, do the math, how many are there?"
Shen Qingqian was responsible for recording and calculating.
After a morning of labor, at this time she was still sweating on her forehead, and when she heard everyone's urging, a big smile bloomed on her face, "A total of one hundred and fifty-six stones have been harvested from five acres of land!" ”
As soon as this data was reported, everyone was stunned.
One hundred and fifty-six stones!
One stone in Dajin is one hundred catties, and one hundred and fifty-six stones is fifteen thousand six hundred catties!
"Daddy! Daddy, why are you crying? ”
"Son, more than 10,000 catties of grain on five acres of land! Do you know what that means? It means that we won't be hungry anymore! ”
"God bless us in northern Hubei!"
"Woooooooooo......oo We won't be hungry in the future......"
