"1580 pounds!"

When the number came out, everyone around cheered.

Although the output here is not as good as that of the Sixth Farm, they don't know the situation over there, and at the same time, Lijia Village is also harvesting sweet potatoes now, what the sweet potatoes in their own fields look like, don't they know?

In fact, when everyone was picking them out, they clearly felt that these sweet potatoes were bigger and in good condition, and they had expected that the yield would be relatively high, but they still didn't expect that it would reach 1580 catties.

How much could they produce in an acre of land before?

It's just over a thousand, right?

But now the output has increased by 50 percent.

When Li Weidong heard this yield, he also nodded with satisfaction, although it is not as good as the Sixth Farm, but after all, it is just reclaimed land, and it is more carefully cared for, so it is normal for the yield to be higher.

But Lijia Village, on the other hand, is obviously more representative.

"Weidong, this production has increased by fifty percent?"

Li Chongjiu was the first to hold back and looked at Li Weidong excitedly.

Although he had expected the increase in the yield of these sweet potatoes, he still did not expect that the yield could increase so much.

Although it is impossible for Lijiagou to plant a new variety of Weidong No. 1 next year, it is possible to increase the yield by 500 catties if there is a variety of one acre of land?

"Well, it's better than expected, it may be related to the first stubble, go back and put these sweet potatoes in the cellar, continue to plant next year, see how the effect is, if the yield can be maintained, you can plant it on a large scale in the future."

Li Weidong nodded and said.

"What about these sweet potatoes?"

"Let's keep it, and take out the rest together to see the yield per acre."

Li Weidong naturally understood what Li Chongjiu wanted, and said simply.

Regarding publicity, the ten acres of experimental fields with the Sixth Farm are enough, and this winter, Professor Zhao will definitely not be idle, and even plans to build a few more greenhouses to strive to cultivate more.

In this way, not only can the growth of Weidong No. 1 be observed, but more Weidong No. 1 will be planted next year, and the speed of promotion will be faster.

Otherwise, one crop a year, this speed is too slow.

Even according to Professor Zhao's plan, the planting time next year will be slightly earlier, and then after the first batch of Weidong No. 1 vines grow, they will be spliced and continue to be planted with these cut seedlings.

This will at least double the planting area.

In this way, the six farms under the jurisdiction of the prison will soon be full.

When tens of thousands of acres of land are cultivated at the same time, the speed of promotion can definitely be greatly improved.

And Lijia Village, after all, is where he grew up, so there is no reason not to take care of it.

With these sweet potatoes, it is enough for Lijia Village.

At least starting next year, the yield of sweet potatoes here will increase by about 50 percent, and many more people can be fed.

Li Chunhua and Li Chongjiu originally wanted to leave a part of it, and that was already something they couldn't ask for.

They also know that these sweet potatoes belong to a new variety, and maybe Li Weidong has other uses.

Unexpectedly, it was all given to them.

For a moment, both of them were a little incredulous.

Especially Li Chunhua, who is a lot older, and his eye circles still can't help but redden.

"Weidong, I thank you for all the people in Lijia Village."

"Third master, if you say so, you will see the outside, no matter what, my surname is Li, I grew up here, I can help, I will definitely do my best."

Li Weidong said seriously.

"Okay, good, having you is also a blessing for Lijia Village."

After Li Chunhua finished speaking, he made a certain decision in his heart.

On this day, the people of the entire Lijia Village were immersed in happiness, although the five acres of sweet potatoes in the orchard were harvested in total, and the total number of sweet potatoes was 8,000 catties, which was an unimaginable number for a family.

But for the entire Lijia Village, it is a drop in the bucket, and there is no one person who divides ten catties and eight catties.

But these sweet potatoes represent hope.

It is a guarantee of a good harvest in the coming year.

As long as they think that the yield of sweet potatoes will increase by 50 percent in the coming year, they feel that the future is suddenly hopeful.

Hold on for another year, stay up again, and wait for next year's winter, and you won't have to tighten your belt again.

In the afternoon, Li Shuquan also told him a good news, that is, the pumpkins he sent before have been harvested after being retained.

But because the seeds were limited, and he wanted to try it first, Li Shuqun chose a place close to the wild orchard, and cleared out a piece of land on the slope, all planted with pumpkins.

Although the pumpkins produced this year are slightly smaller than those that Li Weidong brought back last year, they are much larger than the varieties planted before, and the yield has also been improved.

In the era of melon and vegetable generation, pumpkin was a first-class good thing.

Pumpkin vines can be eaten stir-fried.

The pumpkin is soft and glutinous and sweet, usually only eat coarse grains, no oil and water, the most likely to be constipated, but eat more pumpkin, but it can have the effect of moistening the intestines, after steaming, mixed with stick noodles, sweet potato dry noodles mixed together to steam out of the nest head, will not be so throat.

There is also a pumpkin that can be put to live, and a few hundred catties can be stored at home to eat all winter.

Although these pumpkins cannot replace sweet potatoes, they are still very important in Li Shuquan's eyes.

And with this attempt, more hillside wasteland can be reclaimed next year, and all of it can be planted into pumpkins, which is different from wheat and corn, and has lower land requirements.

In his previous life, when Li Weidong was young, he did not see some scenes of pumpkins planted on the ground, on the ridges, and on the slopes.

After processing the sweet potatoes in Lijia Village, Li Weidong returned to the Sixth Farm in the afternoon.

To his surprise, not all the experts who came here in the morning left, and one of them stayed.

After Professor Zhao Liguo's introduction, Li Weidong also understood the identity of the other party, a technician specializing in cultivating and researching sweet potatoes.

Yes, there is only one title of technician.

The other party's name is Chen Fangzheng, and his age is a few years younger than Zhao Liguo, but he has a vicissitudes of life, his skin is tanned, and there are many peeling places on his neck.

"Expert Li, hello, I have known about Weidong No. 1 sweet potato before, it's amazing."

After Chen Fangzheng shook hands with Li Weidong, he gave a thumbs up, and the expression of admiration on his face was even more from the heart, and he did not despise or suspect Li Weidong because of his age.

"You're overrated, I'm just lucky, but I can't afford to be an expert."

Li Weidong shook his head.

From the emotional feedback of the other party, as well as the respect when Zhao Liguo introduced him, it is enough to show that this Chen Fang is really down-to-earth and the kind of person who does practical things.

So he was also a little curious, what was the purpose of the other party deliberately staying and waiting for him to come back.
