"Alright, Father doesn't need that useless ritual."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and his eyes fell on a pile of things on the ground that were somewhat similar to sweet potatoes, but more round: "What is this?" ”

"Father, this is called a potato, you can also call it a potato, do you think it looks like a horse bell?"

Xu Yan bent down and picked up one to show Ying Zheng, "It is a very easy crop to grow, and the land requirements are not particularly high. ”

"The yield is slightly lower than that of sweet potatoes, but it is also extremely high."

Ying Zheng: "Potatoes are potatoes, this is what grows in the soil and is as round as beans." ”

"Why do you call it a potato? That's a lot of trouble to call. ”

She just laughed: "......" Can she tell him that in the future, potato is its scientific name?

Forget it, let's not talk about this, since my father is interested in the name 'potato', then just use potato as its scientific name.

Anyway, everything starts from scratch, and they can call it whatever they want.

"Father, you're going so fast."

At this time, the descendants of the ancestral dragon caught up, and Yin Yan gasped and complained when they saw him, "No one can catch up with the pace of my father." ”

Ying Zheng rubbed the little girl's head: "Aren't you here too." ”

"Hmph."

Yin Yan pouted and ignored him, turned her head and spoke to Sister Jiu: "Sister Jiu, is this potato ripe?" ”

"Ah, this is a bit similar to that fairy grain sweet potato, but it's relatively round."

Xuyan: "Well, didn't I tell you a long time ago?" ”

After the words fell, she greeted each other with her brothers and sisters, and finally said: "Since they are all here, let's help together, and we have planted a little more this year." ”

"When the potatoes are put away, Ninth Sister, I will send ten catties of potatoes back to each of your families, you can eat them, and you can keep the seeds."

"Then the elder brother will not be polite to the ninth sister."

Zhe smiled and answered, "At that time, the ninth sister will be responsible for teaching us how to eat and how to grow it." ”

"Yes, yes, the ninth sister has to teach us how to eat this potato, and also teach the people around us how to plant it."

The sweet potatoes they got back last year were planted in a plot where they lived, and the harvest was quite large.

It's enough to eat for their own house for a long time, and now that something new has appeared, they are looking forward to it even more.

The brothers and sisters have expressed their willingness to keep and grow some for themselves.

"His Royal Highness Huazhang, can the ministers also bring some back?"

Seeing this, Wang Jian stepped forward and asked expectantly, "The minister's family has a lot of land, and he urgently needs enough seeds." ”

Xu Yan said magnificently: "Those who are here today are ten catties per family." ”

Ying Zheng: "Li Si, Meng Yi, you continue to weigh, I want to know what the output of this thing is?" ”

"Yui."

Because of the size of the area, five times more potatoes were planted this year than last year's sweet potatoes.

What's more, potato seeds are not the same as sweet potato seeds, so there are a lot more seeds that need to be left for seeding.

In order for the whole Great Qin to grow this thing next year or the year after, it will be the first time that Xu Yan will plant so many potatoes.

There were more people who joined the work, and the potatoes in more than 20 acres of land were harvested in one day.

According to the calculations of Meng Yi and Li Si, the yield of potatoes per mu reached 6,000 catties, which is equivalent to more than 3,000 catties in modern times.

Such a yield, like last year's sweet potato, is gratifying.

At noon, everyone has tasted all kinds of food made from potatoes through the Huazhang Palace Canteen.

For example, potato stewed pork ribs, shredded potatoes, mashed potatoes, potatoes...... In short, the patterns that everyone eats today are already novel and hopeful.

I hope that I can grow a large piece of it at home and eat it slowly.
