Unexpectedly, a wave of worry welled up in Song Shaoqin's heart, is the situation in the Shaanzhou area so bad?
First bandits, then homeless people, and even the shops in the town have closed their doors, which is not a good phenomenon.
“.” Xia Ning was not as far-reaching as Song Shaoqin thought, she saw that there were still many old people and children in the broken temple, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She can't see the old man and the child suffer the most, and if it was an adult, she wouldn't bother to take a look.
In modern times, if she sees an adult begging, let alone sympathy, she is only full of contempt, what is the good hand to do? She had to sell the poor and beg, so that she would not get used to them.
"Why don't you give them something to eat?"
Xia Ning looked at Song Shaoqin and opened her mouth to propose, still a little apprehensive in her heart, after all, all the materials were reserved for the Song family.
"How much is appropriate? Some food can only solve their hunger for a while, so what will happen to them after that? ”
Song Shaoqin knew that Xia Ning was a kind-hearted girl, but her help to others was limited, and it was okay to give them some food, but it couldn't really help them.
Maybe they will be made to eat and wait for death, and they will be resentful.
Xia Ning was silent, "I understand what you mean, it's okay, do your best." ”
She can't think of such a long-term thing, at least now she can feed them a little more, if she can't even survive the present, how can she hope for the future?
That's the kind of person she thinks anyway.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Song Shaoqin naturally would not refute her wishes.
"I'll give them the buns and steamed buns first, and I'll buy some to make up for when I get home in the evening."
Xia Ning thought about it, the other foods in the porcelain pot space were not suitable for them, but the steamed buns were more real than steamed buns, and she had more reserves.
"Okay." Song Shaoqin bowed.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Xia Ning's mind, and she hurriedly summoned a potato from the porcelain basin space.
"Song Shaoqin, I have a way, let's send them some potatoes, let them open up the wasteland to plant potatoes, this cycle is very short, it only takes two or three months to harvest, you have also eaten this potato, soft and glutinous can be used as a vegetable, but also as a food to satisfy hunger.
The yield of these potatoes is still very high, and they are very hungry and easy to be full, and when they have potatoes, they don't have to go hungry, at least they have food, and there is hope for this day. ”
Song Shaoqin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he excitedly picked up the round potatoes from Xia Ning's hand and looked at them.
"This is a high yield? Can we grow it here? Is it hard to grow? ”
To be honest, he had eaten potato-related food a few times, and he had heard Xia Ning mention the name of this food, but before that, he hadn't thought much about it, just thought it was a food thing.
Now listening to Xia Ning's words, he realized that he was narrow-minded and almost missed a magical crop.
If this potato is really as Xia Ning said, wouldn't the lives of the people of Eastern Chu be guaranteed? At least you don't have to worry about starving your stomach if you don't have enough food to eat.
Xia Ning hurriedly said, "Really, the yield per mu of this potato can reach about 2,000 to 5,000 catties under normal circumstances, but if you plant it in the soil here, I can't guarantee it~ But I don't think the difference should be too big."
Besides, this potato is really easy to grow, and it will not be too picky about the soil, it can be planted on sandy soil in general, and it does not need to be carefully maintained every day, and it is similar to other crops. ”
Suddenly, Xia Ning seemed to think of something, and said anxiously, "By the way, this potato can be planted twice a year, spring and autumn, I suddenly remembered that now you can plant autumn potatoes in this season, and the time is just right." ”
"Two crops a year?"
Song Shaoqin was already stunned by Xia Ning's explanation, but before he could digest it, he was stunned by her words.
So far, they have not been able to grow two crops a year in the Eastern Chu Kingdom!
I didn't expect this dusty potato to be so amazing, high yield, short cycle, not to pick the land, and even to plant twice a year, if this is the case, then the people of the world will never be hungry again, there is not much food to eat.
Song Shaoqin looked at the potatoes in his hand in a daze, his eyes were hot, this is simply a godsend!
"Yes, why am I lying to you, this potato is just an ordinary crop on our side, in fact, I also have a high-yield crop here, but I think it's okay, they can't chew it if they are greedy, they can grow potatoes well and they won't have to worry about eating them in the future."
"And?"
Song Shaoqin was really a little stunned, he suddenly realized that he had made a big cognitive mistake, his lemon was a big treasure given by God, and it was the biggest treasure in his life.
With her, what else is there to worry about? If he doesn't dig such a big treasure by his side, it is his loss, and it is the misfortune of the people of the world.
It's also strange that he didn't pay much attention to it before, if he had learned more, it wouldn't have caused the ignorance he is now.
At this moment, Song Shaoqin secretly decided that in the future, he must read more books in the 21st century, and he must also follow Xia Ning to learn more knowledge of later generations.
Now he knows less than 1 in 10 million of modern knowledge, and there are still many places worth learning from him, but he is too lax and negligent in self-discipline.
"Yes, you've also eaten it, it's sweet potatoes, and the yield is also high, okay, let's not talk about this now, when you get to Nanban, you can find someone to plant a batch."
Xia Ning suddenly came back to her senses, and the most important thing at the moment was not to popularize science crops, but to help these displaced people.
"Okay, you're right."
Hearing this, Song Shaoqin also suppressed his excitement, but his heart was full of hope.
Xia Ning took his hand and whispered as she walked, "Let's find a remote place to take out the food." ”
"Come with me, I know a place."
Song Shaoqin held Xia Ning's hand with his backhand and led her in the other direction, and when he was strolling around with her, he remembered the terrain around him.
Soon, the two came to a dead end.
Xia Ning didn't grind, and immediately took out a big bag of steamed buns and a big bag of meat buns from the porcelain basin space, adding up to a hundred servings.
Then, she took out a sack of potatoes, which was the dozen sacks of cereals she had bought in the grain section at the time.
"Alright, let's get over there."
Song Shaoqin took the lead in carrying the hemp bag, and then wanted to reach out to carry the bag of meat buns.
Xia Ning directly pushed his hand away and said seriously, "It's enough for you to carry that sack, I'll just carry these two bags myself, don't worry, I still have some strength." ”
