The dirt on the crust of the potato is washed off, revealing its true face.

The outer skin was glowing with a fresh yellow, and Zuo Xingyan gently scraped it with his fingernails, and a thin layer of skin fell off, revealing the golden potato pulp inside.

This potato seed has been modified and tastes much better than ordinary potatoes.

Sun Feng looked at it, his expression softened a little, but he still questioned, "How to eat this?" ”

"You can eat whatever you want, roast, stir-fry, boil, steam......"

Zuo Xingyan said as he gathered all the broken branches and dead leaves at his feet, and then lit them with a fire breaker.

She threw the potatoes directly into the fire.

After a while, the fire was extinguished, and Zuo Xingyan pulled out the blackened potato chop.

In the curious and somewhat disgusted eyes of everyone, Zuo Xingyan quickly peeled off the potato skin, skewered the potatoes with a branch, and handed it to Sun Feng.

"Taste it."

She deliberately didn't sprinkle any seasonings, just to let Sun Feng taste the most original taste of potatoes.

Sun Feng looked at the potatoes that were getting more and more golden after peeling, and hesitated for a moment before taking them.

The potatoes were still exuding heat, and Sun Feng took a bite against everyone's eyes.

Then he froze, and instead of chewing, he just took a sip with his tongue, and the potato pieces crumbled on the tip of his tongue.

The taste is dense and glutinous, delicate and dense, which is a taste that Sun Feng has never experienced.

He took another big bite, chewing in his mouth as if he was not afraid of being hot, and the more he ate, the brighter his eyes became.

This potato doesn't look very good, but it gives people infinite surprises when they eat it.

There is a hint of sweetness in the glutinous aroma, such potatoes are indeed like what Zuo Xingyan said, they are delicious no matter how you do it!

After a while, most of the potatoes entered Sun Feng's stomach, and seeing his reaction, when everyone looked at the potatoes that had been dug up at the edge of the field, their eyes were more eager.

Ah Shan's men dug very quickly, but in half an hour they finished digging this field, and the potato seedlings and potatoes were separated and formed into a pile.

"Just throw them away later, and load them up and weigh them." Zuo Xingyan got up and commanded Ah Shan's people.

When the potatoes were weighed, everyone was shocked again.

Half an acre of potatoes, the harvest is 1,300 catties!

Not only Sun Feng and others, but even Zuo Xingyan was a little surprised.

In the barren land of Quanzhou, the yield per mu can reach more than 2,500 catties, which is not easy.

"This, how many of these?"

Sun Feng has been in Quanzhou for so many years...... No, it should be said that he has never seen such a crop with such a mu yield in his life.

"It's my seeds that are of high quality, and other seeds don't have so many harvests." Zuo Xingyan hugged his arms proudly.

She had to give Sun Feng a preventive shot in advance, although there were no potatoes in Daliang Country, but other countries would not have them. When Sun Feng found that other countries had potatoes, but the output was far less than that of Quanzhou, he would definitely be suspicious.

It's better to tell him in advance that his seed is different from that of other countries.

Sun Feng nodded heavily, "Miss Zuo is a great hero of Quanzhou Island!" ”

He looked at Zuo Xingyan's eyes at this time, and even had a little respect!

The potatoes grown by Zuo Xingyan can solve the livelihood problem on the island, so that everyone can eat enough and no longer go hungry.

Sun Feng is truly grateful to her.

"Can this potato be planted this year? Or is it next year? This is by far the most urgent question that Sun Feng wants to know.

After all, this half acre of land is just Zuo Xingyan's experiment, although the yield of more than 1,000 catties is high, so many people on the island can't eat it for too long.

Zuo Xingyan nodded, "Of course you can, pick out a hundred catties of potatoes later, keep them to sprout, and when the fields in the southern area are turned over, you can continue to plant." ”

The only good thing about Quanzhou is the climate, where the four seasons are like spring, and there is no winter to speak of.

In such a warm climate, crops can be grown all year round.

When Sun Feng heard this, he was so happy that he immediately sent someone to turn over the ground, and asked Zuo Xingyan for picking potatoes.

With the surprise of potatoes, Sun Feng is now full of expectations for soybeans.

He began to blindly trust Zuo Xingyan, feeling that as long as it was something she planted, it would definitely be a bumper harvest!

"When the food problem is solved, we don't need to pay attention to food in foreign trade, and we can even exchange food for other materials, clothes, farm tools and weapons."

Zuo Xingyan and Sun Feng stood side by side, looking at the sin slaves who were walking around busily on the edge of the ridge, and whispered.

Sun Feng was slightly stunned, "Weapons? ”

There are a lot of servants on the island, and the imperial court has given them a lot of weapons, so they shouldn't need to trade weapons anymore, right?

"Do you think that with the knife and whip in the hands of the officials, you can hold Quanzhou?" Zuo Xingyan seemed to guess what Sun Feng was thinking, and couldn't help but sneer.

Sun Feng was a little confused.

"In the past, everyone knew that Quanzhou was a barren, poor and barren place, even if you came to grab it, what could you grab?"

Zuo Xingyan said, bending down to pick up a potato in the basket at his feet.

"But if they knew that Quanzhou could grow high-yield food, what do you think would happen to them?" The potatoes in her hands were big and round, and this one alone weighed at least two or three pounds.

Sun Feng looked at the big potato with a somewhat stunned expression.

Seeing him fall into deep thought, Zuo Xingyan didn't say anything more.

Sun Feng is not stupid, she has said this, it is impossible for him not to understand.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Zuo Xingyan went to Yue before and also learned about the grain production of Yue Guo, and some of Yue Guo's grain was purchased from abroad, which shows that Yue Guo's grain is not enough.

The grain output of various countries is more or less insufficient, and at this time, Quanzhou can be self-sufficient, and even take out part of it for export trade, so it is very likely to be targeted.

Pirates, or countries with ulterior motives, will be eyeing Quanzhou. At present, Quanzhou does not have enough strength to resist more attacks.

This is like the last days, if you have food and materials in your hands, but you don't have the strength to keep the materials, then you will be treated as a fat sheep, and you will be slaughtered by the way.

Therefore, whether it is weapons or defense facilities, Quanzhou must be upgraded to a higher level.

Sun Feng has been comfortable for too long, and he can deal with the occasional pirate attack, so he thinks he can rest easy.

At this time, he was awakened by Zuo Xingyan, and he suddenly woke up.

"It's me who is confused, and these things still have to be bothered by Miss Laozuo." Sun Feng hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Zuo Xingyan chuckled, "What bothered not to bother, Lord Sun forgot?" Let's still bet that I have half of the management rights of Quanzhou Island, but I am bound to win. ”

Sun Feng was stunned for a moment, and then a complicated smile appeared on his face.

"Now that there are potatoes as a precedent, I believe that the soybean harvest will not be low, but it is worth it to exchange half of Quanzhou's management rights for such a high grain production."

As he spoke, his eyes looked at Zuo Xingyan with great sincerity, "What's more, this management is handed over to you, Miss Zuo, I don't worry!" ”

Sun Feng believes that Zuo Xingyan will only make Quanzhou better and better.
