Chapter 266: Let Me Plant Another Season
"Master Hou, let's not talk about this for now, I used those three crops to make food, Master Hou tasted how it tasted, he might have a full stomach." Shui Miaomiao held up the tray in her hand and motioned for him to wait.
"Master Hou, come into the house and wash up, the water girl has made a lot of hard corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, let's try it." Dasi Nong came out of the house, smelling the scent in the air, and was interested in which crops.
"Okay, let's go inside, and we'll have a good taste of the crop later." Yong Bohou straightened up, very satisfied with Shui Miao's ineffective approach, but she wanted to taste the taste of that corn more.
Mama Hong has already walked in with people, the girls rushed in, and plates of food were brought out of the kitchen, and Miao Miao would explain to everyone before a dish, "This is a corn tortilla, this is a corn cake, this is corn noodles, this is corn porridge." ”
Seeing that everyone tasted everything, he continued, "This is sweet potato balls, this is sweet potato porridge, this is sweet potato drawing, this is sweet potato cake, this is baked sweet potato slices, this sweet potato you can make sweet potato powder, just like noodles for people to eat, adults taste the taste of this sweet potato." ”
"This sweet potato porridge tastes very sweet and good, and this roasted sweet potato slices are very crispy, this sweet potato ball is very elastic, not bad~~" Yong Bohou has to comment on the same if he didn't eat it, and the corn just now is the same, and the comments he gave are very pertinent.
"It's delicious, the corn tastes delicious and filling, it's enough to be used as a staple food, and this sweet potato can also be used as a staple food, and that potato! Bring it over and let's see how it tastes. "Dasi Nong has already eaten two kinds, both of which are very good, if it can be promoted on a large scale, the people will not have to go hungry.
"Here it is! This is hot and sour shredded potatoes, this is braised potatoes, this is mashed potatoes, this is homemade potato chips, this is cold shredded potatoes~~~~~~" Shui Miaomiao then signaled the girls to hurry up and serve, a row of more than a dozen dishes made of potatoes, the mouth of the people watching is about to fall, the only regret is that the spicy here is not chili, but made of dogwood.
"Yes, it's delicious, it's very appetizing, sour and spicy, well, this braised potato melts in your mouth, it's good, it's good." Yong Bohou was very satisfied with this meal, these things were not only fresh, but also tasted very good.
"Yes! This potato can be used as a vegetable or as a staple food, not bad, not bad. "Da Si Nong also thinks it's good.
"It's very good, adults can grow these three crops twice a year, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes don't need to be planted in the best fields, they like the sand the most, as long as the fertilizer is enough, they can grow wildly." Qin Shuo directly threw a bombshell, and the eyes of Da Si Nong and Yong Bohou were widened.
A few officials at the other table were even more unsettled, and one of the thin men had really round eyes, and the hope in his eyes was so obvious, and he stammered a little when he spoke, "Water girl, what the adults said just now is true." ”
Shui Miaomiao turned around when she heard the sound, just right to face the thin little official, and was stunned when she saw the hope in his eyes, although she didn't know why he showed such an expression, but she still opened her mouth to explain, "Sweet potatoes and potatoes are suitable for loose soil, but water and fertilizer must follow." ”
"It's great, it's great, Master Hou, Dasi Nong, it's really good, you don't know, most of our fields over there are like this, and the yield of planting other crops is very low, so there is no way to grow a large number of beans every year."
The thin little official almost burst into tears with excitement, his hometown is like this, many people can't stand moving out of the village, but there are still many people who can't get out of their hometown, they can only survive day by day, if they can all plant this sweet potato and potatoes, and that corn, they don't have to go hungry.
"Alas! It's going to be fine, or it'll be fine in two years. Of course, Da Si Nong knows why he is like this, he is Da Si Nong, and he knows the difficulties of the people better than others.
After being full of wine and food, everyone began to discuss the whereabouts of these crops, Shui Miaomiao glanced at the people present, pursed her lips and said.
"Master Hou, my lord, a total of more than 65,000 catties of corn have been harvested, and there are 45,000 catties that can be used as seeds, and each mu needs six catties, can you leave me 3,000 catties of seeds, and those corns that can't be used as seeds, can you leave me a thousand catties, and the rest of the Hou Ye can be taken away."
"Three thousand catties can plant 500 acres, girl, you have so many fields." Yong Bohou was a little surprised, he didn't expect this girl to want to leave so many seeds, not counting the sweet potato seeds and potato seeds that haven't been said?
"Water girl, how can you grow so much." Dasi Nong was also surprised.
Qin Shuo sat on the side and didn't speak, he knew how much property this girl had, but he believed that the girl had her own ideas.
Shui Miaomiao knew that this harvest was 65,000 catties of corn, and there were 45,000 catties of seeds that could be planted, but there were not many sweet potatoes and potatoes, and if they were taken away like this, they wouldn't be able to plant much.
"Master Hou, I will leave 3,000 catties of corn, I only keep 200 acres of seeds, and the remaining seeds are prepared for the people in the village, I can also guide them nearby, as for potatoes and sweet potatoes, I have a suggestion here, and a few adults can see that this is appropriate."
"Girl, what do you think, tell me about it." Yong Bohou is also familiar with her, and when he sees her like this, he knows what else this girl thinks.
"Yes! Girl, tell me about it. Da Si Nong also wanted to know what Shui Miao Miao wanted to say.
"Water girl, it's okay, you can talk about it." Qin Shuo glanced at Shui Miaomiao, who seemed to know something, and encouraged her with his eyes.
Shui Miaomiao stretched out her hand and nodded on a few booklets, "Corn, you can send it to a place with a similar climate here for trial planting, but this sweet potato is what I found all over the mountains, and there are only these, and I have planted it for a season, and I am familiar with the cultivation of sweet potatoes, and only 700 catties of more than 1,000 catties of sweet potatoes can be used as seeds."
If you can't plant much if you use it for experiments, it's better to stay with me and let me plant another season here, so that in the second half of the year, you can have enough seeds to take out and try planting, and the same is true for that potato, only more than 1,000 catties can be used as seeds, and you can't try to plant much if you take it away. ”
"It's not impossible, we can't plant a few acres if we take it away, so it's better to let you grow another season." Yong Bohou also felt that this was appropriate, just like Shui Miaomiao said, even if he took away these seeds, he couldn't plant a few acres, why not wait a few more months!
