Chapter 287: New Species!

The first round of rice harvest was like the beginning of the New World harvest, followed by wheat, grains, beans, and even potatoes and corn that Zhao Yi had not seen before in Great Xia.

Zhao Yi only knew after hearing that these two things were produced in a remote tribe in Great Xia.

The environment of that tribe is harsh, there is very little land that can be cultivated, and the fertility is not high, the output of crops is very small, often a hard year, and the last family still has to go hungry.

Potatoes and corn were found in this context.

The emergence of these two things, although it ensured that there were no more starving people in the tribe, it was impossible to live well.

Therefore, when he heard that the emperor needed people to farm the land, and that he could enclose the land at will, the whole tribe immediately moved to the new world all day long.

After coming to the New World, the people of the tribe, like everyone else, first planted the crops they were most familiar with.

As a result, the rice harvest in Laosu was not long in coming, and the corn and potatoes were also harvested.

A bountiful harvest in the truest sense of the word.

Zhao Yi had seen a pumpkin the size of a wheel in his previous life.

In foreign pumpkin competitions, some masters have grown behemoths of more than 200 catties.

Zhao Yi was shocked when he saw it.

But compared to the potatoes that grew in the New World, pumpkins and other things are simply weak.

Potatoes aren't as big as wheels, but they're solid.

Zhao Yi looked at the potatoes the size of the old-fashioned red laundry tub on the ground, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping.

This thing is estimated to weigh a few hundred catties, enough for a family of three to eat for ten days and half a month.

If you don't get tired of eating potatoes all the time.

After reading the potatoes, Zhao Yi went to look at the corn in the field next to him.

After just one glance, he was silent.

Zhao Yi originally thought that the big potatoes on the grinding plate were outrageous enough.

But wait until you see the big corn as long as a flat pole and as thick as a bench.

Zhao Yi was completely speechless.

Corn is a good thing.

Compared to potatoes, corn is not only more satiating, but also tastes better.

And the corn is full of treasures.

Corn kernels and cornmeal can be eaten, corn stalks can be burned, and corn cobs can be fed to livestock.

If Zhao Yi had discovered that there was corn in the new world earlier, he would have promoted it a long time ago.

In this way, the new world will soon be able to reach the freedom to eat meat.

Zhao Yi hadn't eaten corn for some years, and when he saw the white and tender corn, he was suddenly a little hungry, so he broke two and prepared to cook it.

Holding the corn to the side of the pot, Zhao Yi finally realized that something was wrong.

The corn is too big and the pot is too small to boil.

Zhao Yi threw the corn to the little poison, and the little poison didn't care if it was raw, so he just hugged it and gnawed it.

While gnawing, he also said that it was delicious.

Zhao Yi shook his head, looked at Miaoyin Zhenren, and said in a deep voice: "Everything about the new world is currently being explored, and what is known now is that crops grown here will become bigger and the taste will also change. And what about other things? ”

Miaoyin's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "I remember that the cattle and sheep over there in the livestock breeding area have all born new cubs, and the chickens have begun to lay eggs. I'll send someone to take a look at it in a moment to see if the cubs and eggs have grown bigger. ”

Zhao Yi shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "It's not just those animals, the most important thing is people!" I've heard that quite a few women have been pregnant recently, and you must send someone to follow up at any time. If the baby grows like the crops in the field, then the mother's life may be in danger. ”

Miaoyin Zhenren nodded, wrote down everything Zhao Yi said, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate these things as soon as I go back, and there should be results soon." ”

After speaking, she asked Zhao Yi: "What if the newborn baby gets bigger?" ”

Zhao Yi waved his hand: "As long as the newborn is healthy, as for the size of the body, it is affected by the environment, or how it is, don't worry too much." ”

Miaoyin Zhenren nodded, and seeing that Zhao Yi had already made arrangements, he didn't say anything more.

The two of them walked around the nearby farmland, found nothing new to catch their eye, such as potatoes and corn, and turned around and prepared to go back.

On the way, Zhao Yi remembered the big idea of his previous life, and said to Miaoyin: "When your people visit below, remember to let them pay attention to whether there are any special crops or livestock in various places." The new world is too big, and people live too far away, so it's likely that there will be something that can't be discovered. Just like the potatoes and corn this time, if they had been discovered earlier, there would have been no famine in Great Xia. Even in the worst disaster year, at least the people will not starve to death. ”

Miaoyin Zhenren saw the two new crops just now, and nodded approvingly at Zhao Yi's words.

Potatoes and corn are produced in large quantities and have low requirements for land conditions, allowing them to be stocked even in the harshest environments.

Potatoes, in particular, can be said to be the most important weapon of the country.

If these two things had been discovered earlier, Great Xia would indeed no longer have to worry about the people going hungry during the disaster year.

The two of them walked all the way to take a look, and when they arrived at the dormitory, Miaoyin Zhenren still remembered a lot of work arranged by Zhao Yi, and didn't care about all Zhao Yi's invitations to dinner, so he hurriedly went out.

The little poison had been following the two of them, and she was still holding the half-gnawed corn in her arms.

The little poison gnawed half a corn, and it really couldn't be eaten, but he was reluctant to throw it away, so he hugged it all the way back.

It was the first time that Zhao Yi heard the words "can't eat" from the mouth of the little poison, and immediately curiously broke a few corn kernels and put them in his mouth.

The chaotic aura contained in corn kernels was even more abundant than rice.

After Zhao Yi ate a grain of corn, he immediately felt like he had eaten or not, and the aura in his body was running rapidly.

Only then did Zhao Yi understand that the little poison was not that his stomach could not hold it up, but that it was supported by the chaotic aura.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yi patted the little poison on the shoulder and urged: "Hurry up and meditate to refine the aura, otherwise you won't be able to eat anything in the past month." ”

The spiritual energy contained in a grain of corn is enough for Zhao Yi to operate his spiritual power for a week.

The little poison ate half of the corn, and it was hard to imagine how much chaotic aura had accumulated in her body.

As long as those auras are not refined, the little poison will definitely not be able to eat anything.

The little poison was originally not interested in practicing, but when he heard that he couldn't eat after refining the aura, he suddenly became energetic and went to practice in a hurry.

Looking at the back of the little poison in the distance, Zhao Yi shook his head.

The chaotic world is really a treasure.

An ordinary corn tree can contain so much aura, what about those valuable herbs in the immortal cultivation world?

Zhao Yi suddenly regretted it.

I knew that the land of the new century was so powerful, and I should have brought a little more elixir when I transferred it.

It's a shame that such a nice place is just farming!
