After Crossing, and Husband Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies To Farm: Chapter 220 Promote sweet potatoes
Chapter 220 Promotion of Sweet Potatoes
"Yes, that's it. Like taro, this thing grows underground, but the yield is quite high. If we plant it, we won't be afraid of running out of food." Gu Chengrui stood up and said.
then said: "Wait a minute, I'll get one for you to see."
After finished speaking, he went directly to the kitchen, and then asked Zhou Ying for an ordinary piece of sweet potato. After washing it, he took a knife and went back to the main room: "That's it, you can also taste it."
After seeing the white lump in his hand, the village chief said with a look of surprise: "This thing is really big, how many knots can one tree bear?"
"Three to eight nines, ranging in size."
"So many, how high is the yield?" The patriarch exclaimed, living as he said, that one tree should not yield two to ten kilograms of sweet potatoes.
"It's quite a lot. When I planted it last spring, the yield per mu was less than 10,000 catties. When I planted it again in summer, the water couldn't keep up with it, so I harvested less than 2,000 catties."
"That's not a lot. Only one mu of wheat can yield about 100 catties. If this happens, it will be much more credited than the waterwheel." The village chief said excitedly.
then asked: "How many seeds do you have here?"
"I also saw the value of it, so I didn't dare to waste any of it except to taste it. Now I keep it all, about 220,000 catties.
But I can't take it all out, I have to plant some on Zhuangzi.
But this kind of thing has a very strong vitality. After the leaves grow, it can grow roots by itself, so after planting it for about a month, you can cut the leaves and plant again.
may also be the reason, so the yield will decrease in the second crop. "
"That's pretty good too." After the village chief finished speaking, he hurriedly put it on the table and said, "Quick, cut it and let's taste it."
Gu Chengrui nodded and took a knife and cut it open, letting them eat a piece of it each.
After eating, the village chief said: "To be honest, it's a little firewood, but it doesn't have a strange smell. It's better than taro."
"Indeed, but this thing won't go wrong, right?" The patriarch nodded in agreement.
"Last year, I specially tried it. If you eat it for a long time, you will have symptoms such as flatulence and acid reflux, but it is non-toxic. As long as we eat it with food reasonably, it will become the staple food."
"Okay, that's great, as for what you said is nothing compared to filling your stomach." The village chief said.
"Indeed, the acid refluxes on an empty stomach. As for flatulence, to be honest, it's not a big deal for us farmers. It's enough to run two laps in the field."
"That's settled. This year, we will plant one or two acres per family. In any case, the villagers will not starve to death. Let them arrange the rest of the planting." The village chief nodded.
"Okay, I'll arrange seedlings in the next two days. If the pepper is doubled, anyone who grows vegetables can come to us to get the seeds. It's the same as last year."
"Yes, yes, you can also grow some long and fast vegetables. With a little income, you can buy some food for a while."
Next, the three of them happily drank a drink and then dispersed.
In the space, Zhou Ying prepared rapeseed, spinach, chrysanthemum, amaranth, and cumin seeds.
Of course, cumin is the most, so she won't have to charge high prices in the future.
The next day, after Zhou Ying gave the seeds to the patriarch, she went to work on the Zhuangzi after the restaurant was done.
But Zhuangzi, she plans to grow sweet potatoes in addition to raising seedlings, even on the grasslands, so that the people and the cattle and sheep they raise will be full.
