Chapter 265: Overwhelmed
"My lord, this sweet potato is only planted in eight points, and there are not many seeds that can only be planted with these, this sweet potato can be planted for two seasons a year, and it can be planted next spring." Shui Miaomiao looked at the sweet potatoes in the backyard and was also helpless, she could only raise these seedlings this year.
"It's really as big as you say." Dasi Nong looked at the man who was cutting the sweet potato seedlings in the field, and until now he did not believe that the yield of this sweet potato would be so high.
"Look, Da Si Nong." Shui Miaomiao personally picked up a hoe, found the right position and went down with a hoe, and several fat sweet potatoes were about to be dug out of the soil.
Wednesday Bridge hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the sweet potatoes into the basket, and his big hands went along the generous ones that had just been dug up, and he actually dug out a few small sweet potatoes from them, although these are very small, but the sum of several is more than a catty.
"Three pounds and six taels." The little officials beside Da Sinong had already taken out the scale and started to weigh it, and when they saw the catty, their eyes lit up, and their voices were much louder.
"What, this nest of sweet potatoes is actually three catties and six taels." Da Si Nong's eyes also widened, and he snatched the scale rod to check it himself, and when he saw that it was really three catties and six taels, and it was still high.
This made Da Sinong still calm, turned around and went to the field, took the hoe in Shui Miaomiao's hand, and started to do it without looking back, but he overestimated himself, the hoe was raised high, but when it fell, it deviated from the direction.
Da Si Nong looked at the hoe in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched without a trace, he seemed to overestimate his hands-on ability, and now he was ugly, and his dark face was even darker.
Shui Miaomiao also saw the discomfort on Da Si Nong's face, and hurriedly beckoned the people who followed him to start digging, "What are you doing in the cold, Da Si Nong has already set an example for us, don't hurry up." ”
Wednesday Bridge is also a clever man, and hurriedly took the hoe from Da Si Nong's hand, "My lord, you have already done a demonstration, let's do the rest of the work!" ”
With the steps given by Shui Miaomiao and Wednesday Bridge, Da Sinong quickly let go of his hand and gave the hoe in his hand, "You young people still have to come to this." ”
"My lord, let them come to the work in this field, let's sit down and wait first, and you can also let someone tell you how to plant this sweet potato, how to maintain it, and there is a reason why the water girl has a higher yield than other places, and the fertilizer used by the water girl here is also different from that in other places." Qin Shuo also hurriedly stepped forward and invited Da Si Nong to the side to speak.
"Oh, there's such a thing, water girl, I don't know if it's inconvenient to talk about it." Dasi Nong was not interested in anything else, but he was very obsessed with farming, and he couldn't help but be excited when he heard that there was a way to increase production.
Shui Miaomiao ordered someone to serve tea to everyone, and when she heard that Dasi Nong wanted to know the way to increase production, she didn't hide it, so she told her about the method of making fertilizer, and also told her that since she used fertilizer to get fertilizer, her field yield has increased by more than one layer.
The more Da Si Nong listened, the brighter his eyes became, knowing that several families in the village were using this method, and asked people to come over and ask them one by one, Shui Miao Miao listened to Da Si Nong ask the village chief what they said, and her impression of this Da Si Nong was much better, this person was a good official, a rare good official.
There are many people with great strength, and in just over half an hour, all the ground has been turned over, and the sweet potatoes are all stacked separately, according to the method before Shui Miaomiao, those who are big and in good condition are kept for seeding, and these are stored separately, and those who are small or injured by the hoe are stacked on the other side.
"My lord, my lord, eight points of land, a total of one thousand one hundred and twenty-six pounds." The little officer in charge of weighing on the other side quickly patted over, looking at Da Si Nong's eyes were shining, and his voice couldn't help but rise.
"What, what do you say, one thousand one hundred and twenty-six pounds." Da Si Nongteng stood up from the stool, because he stood too hard and hit the table, fortunately Qin Shuo helped him in time, otherwise he would really be ugly.
"Be careful, sir." Qin Shuo held Da Si Nong who was about to fall in time, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Da Si Nong!" You're so old, you still have to take it easy! It wouldn't be good if you fell. ”
"I'm fine, it's okay, tell me quickly, is it one thousand one hundred and twenty-six pounds." Da Si Nong also ignored the dull pain in his thigh, and stared at the little official who had just come to report without blinking, for fear that he had hallucinated just now.
"Yes, my lord, what you said is right, it is 1,126 catties, which is only eight points of land, and the yield is already three times that of rice, if this crop can be popularized." The little official swallowed, she was already excited and didn't know what to say.
"Yes, if such a high-yield crop is promoted, the people will not have to go hungry, but I just don't know what this sweet potato tastes like." Dasi Nongqiang suppressed his mood, looked back at Shui Miaomiao, and his eyes were full of questions.
They had heard from the emperor that this thing could be eaten, but they really didn't know if it was good or not, and they came today to taste the taste of these crops, and if it could really be used as food, the people would be really blessed.
"My lord, the family is ready, the potatoes over there have been almost dug up, it is estimated that there will be news soon, we still go to the front yard and wait, today I will use these three crops to make a delicacy, and I will invite a few adults to taste it later."
Shui Miaomiao smiled slightly, and didn't say how the thing tasted, said it a thousand times, it is better to let them taste it for themselves, only after tasting it can you know whether it is delicious or not.
When the group came to the front yard, Yong Bohou and his party had already returned, today they were divided into two ways, Yong Bohou took people to Xiaoyangtun, he wanted to personally see the corn planting base, but also to see how the yield of the potatoes was, but also wanted to hear what the tenants over there said.
This line of Yong Bohou was very touched, not only did she know that the yield of Shui Miaomiao's fields was one level higher than others, but also the yield of corn was really six hundred and fifty catties, which was still less than the yield of one acre, so he was very excited.
Back at the Shui family, Yong Bohou saw Shui Miaomiao and bowed deeply, "Shui Girl, you are really a lucky star for the people!" If these crops can be promoted, the people will no longer have to go hungry, and I would like to thank you for the people. ”
Shui Miaomiao was about to walk into the main hall with a tray in her hand, but she was shocked by Yong Bohou's action, and she didn't know what to do for a while, she didn't know whether to put down the things in her hand first, or help Yong Bohou first, and she was stupid in place for a while and didn't know what to do.
