- "Your Majesty, please look, here are the sweet potatoes we planted!"
Su Jian and Zou Yang led Liu Deng all the way to the fields.
The sweet potatoes brought by Liu Deng now seem to be growing very well. Each of the long vines is one or two meters long.
There is also a strong fragrance unique to vegetation in the air.
Even Liu Deng couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. The air in the valley was warm, cool and pleasant. Compared with the air quality outside, the air quality here is undoubtedly much better.
"Have you ever measured the output of this thing during this period? It should be almost time to calculate it now!"
Looking at the sweet potatoes that were growing happily, Liu Deng squatted down and observed them carefully while talking.
His movements were so gentle, as if he were stroking the gentle hands of his lover.
"This has never been measured. Now that the king is here, how about testing it yourself?"
Su Jian also hurriedly said from the side.
"I heard from the veterans that the output of this thing is amazing, but until now, Su Jian and the others have never seen it with their own eyes.
Now at this time, Liu Deng happened to be here, and they wanted to see it with their own eyes.
¡°In that case, let someone get the tools and come over and take a look!¡±
Liu Deng is also very uneasy now. After all, large-scale planting and planting in experimental fields are completely different concepts. If the yield of this thing does not meet his psychological expectations, how will he survive this crisis? Even Liu Deng felt a little unsure.
"You guys, hurry up and get the tools!"
Su Jian stretched out his hand as he spoke, and several soldiers immediately picked up their tools and ran over.
¡°Just dig here, be careful and dig out all these plants!¡±
Liu Deng looked around, then pointed at the fields beside him.
¡°After all, these things were planted at the same time, and it seems that they are all about the same maturity now.
But looking at those plump sweet potato vines, I think the harvest should be pretty good
"No!"
Several soldiers also looked excited. During this time, they have been busy in the fields every day and are a powerful army in the world. Now they have become farmers. At the beginning, many people were still conflicted. , but later when listening to the veterans talking about the terrifying output of this thing, everyone began to be dubious.
Today, seeing is finally believing, and several soldiers immediately started working excitedly.
Because this thing is now harvested for the second time, several veterans now have some experience. First, they carefully peeled away the floating soil on it, and then bit by bit, they began to search for the fruits along the vines.
When watching the bunches of fist-sized fruits slowly emerging from the ground, Su Jian and Zou Yang could no longer close their mouths.
¡°Be careful, be careful, don¡¯t miss anything!¡±
After all, the total output needs to be estimated based on the output of the dug sweet potato plants, so Liu Deng was still a little nervous.
"No!"
Several soldiers responded, and then dug more carefully and carefully. Su Jian and Zou Yang carefully picked up two fruits from the pile of fruits dug out from the ground, and weighed them in their hands. After taking the portion, the look of surprise on this face was no longer indescribable.
It was only then that the two of them realized that what the veterans said was completely true. In such a short time, the fruit they dug out was at least more than a hundred kilograms.
You must know that only twenty-five plants were dug out in total!
So far, the entire river valley area has nearly 5,000 acres of land. If all of this was dug out, the two of them would not even be able to calculate it now.
"Big, big, big king! Is this really edible?"
Sure enough, it lived up to expectations. Under everyone's attention, several soldiers once again dug out a dozen sweet potatoes the size of a sheep's head from the soil.
At this moment, Su Jian felt like he was not feeling well!
How is this possible?
He was originally from a farming family, and he helped his parents with farm work when he was young. He has seen a lot of food in the world.
I have never heard of what kind of food can grow so huge.
"Of course it can be eaten. Not only can it be eaten, but it also tastes good! Someone, bring me a big scale!"
After repeatedly confirming that nothing was missing, Liu Deng excitedly called for someone to bring over a large scale.
The final result left everyone stunned. You must know that only twenty-five plants have been dug out, but the harvest is nearly three stones!
¡°Your Majesty, I don¡¯t know how to eat this thing?¡±
Su Jian said dumbfounded.
"It can be eaten raw, cooked or barbecued! Set up a big pot and let everyone try it today!"
Although the sweet potatoes on this land are not yet fully mature, Liu Deng finally feels confident.
Taking an average, the results of each plant have now reached fourteen pounds and four taels. This is simply a terrifying number, and it is even better than when they are grown in a greenhouse.
Of course, on the one hand, it is because the land here is indeed very fertile.
On the other hand, because the ground here is vast and the sunshine is sufficient, the gaps between plantings are also appropriately enlarged.
It now seems that Su Jian and the others¡¯ original decision was correct. It turned out that when Liu Deng and the others planted more than 4,500 plants per acre.
There are only 3,500 plants in this acre of land now, but even so, it turns out to be an extremely terrifying number in the end!
If there is a good harvest on more than 5,000 acres of land, it will at least help them persist for a few more months!
"After all, in this era of war and chaos everywhere, it's good to eat some. Besides, for the people of later generations, if they eat this all year round in times of famine, haven't they killed people?"
As long as you get through this year, everything will be fine when spring comes and the flowers bloom next year!
"Hurry up, hurry up, set up some big pots!"
Su Jian was going crazy. He couldn't wait to try the taste of the food he had worked so hard to grow.
Under Liu Deng's command, the soldiers around him rushed to the battle to help. Those who carried firewood and those who set up pots. It only took a short while to wash the sweet potatoes, and then Put it in the pot.
In order to cook it a little faster, Liu Deng specially asked people to cut all the huge sweet potatoes into small pieces. After about less than a quarter of an hour, a unique sweet smell of sweet potatoes began to permeate the air. It's in the air.
Liu Deng opened the lid of the pot with his own hands and took a long big chopstick to test it. It was pretty good that it was already cooked. He carefully picked up a piece and let it cool in cold water. He then tore off the skin and revealed the red flesh inside. I couldn't wait to take a bite.
A long-lost sweet smell began to spread in Liu Deng's mouth.
