Chapter 457
Chapter 457 Dumbfounded
The patriarch and the others were startled when they saw Duan's savage tugging of potatoes.
One by one is distressed, what if this is broken?
The patriarch couldn't help but stepped forward, "Goose King, let's do the potato digging. You are doing big things, just supervise us."
But don't talk like that.
Duan thinks what the old man said is right, he is the king of goose, so he doesn't need to do these rough jobs.
So he raised his head and called out to the patriarch a few times, as if approving what he said, then took a few steps back and returned to Shi Qingluo.
Another look of an invitation.
"The goose is so powerful that he actually found so many potatoes." Shi Qingluo immediately took out a handful of goose food from his purse and fed it to it.
Previously, the villagers and the spies who were in the crowd had heard how smart Dian Dian was, and could completely understand people's words.
But some people are still a little skeptical, and it can fully understand people's words.
Now seeing its response to the patriarch, everyone can see that it really understands.
This also surprised everyone once again.
The people in the county office stood out proudly. The Goose King was their wife, and they were proud.
Shi Qingluo took the lead from a yamen and stepped forward to dig out a nest of potatoes.
"One plant can really grow a lot."
Then Shi Qingluo gave another demonstration, "Let's help dig potatoes together, just like I dig like this."
The people who came with the county government are eager to try, and they can't wait to go up and dig now.
The patriarch and others twitched the corners of their mouths. What were these people thinking? What if they were allowed to go up and dig it out?
So the patriarch immediately brought the villagers forward, "Let's leave it to us."
"We are all farmers. We are good at digging. We must be careful not to damage the potatoes."
"That's right, otherwise it would be a pity if it was dug up."
Hearing what they said, the county yamen seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water.
That's right, they don't usually dig the ground, it's not good if the dig is broken.
So they gave this important job to the patriarch and villagers.
The patriarch had asked people to carry the hoe up before, and it was used now.
He took the lead and started digging up potatoes according to what was taught.
Shi Qingluo was also helping, "Just put the dug out potatoes in the load, and they'll be dug up in a while. Pick them down and weigh them."
Watching her just take off the potatoes and put them in the load by herself, the villagers also learned to do it.
Someone pointed at the potato vines that had been thrown aside and asked, "Ma'am, are these edible?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "This can be brought back to feed the pigs."
When the villagers heard it, they bundled up the potato vines and took them back to the pigs in the village.
This piece of potatoes has nearly an acre of land.
One mu of potatoes generally has a yield of 3,000 to 5,000 catties per mu. With high-quality potato varieties and careful management, the yield per mu can be as high as 8,000 catties.
The potatoes in Shiqingluo Space are all high-yield varieties that have been continuously improved.
It's just that she didn't have any special management when planting, so she only poured some spiritual water when she planted it and sent it to plant here that day, so after all the digging, she estimated that there may be about four or five thousand pounds here.
This is also her intention. After all, people will have no spiritual water to plant in the future. Now the yield per mu is too high, which is not good. It is enough to be close to the actual planted yield.
So many people dug nearly one mu of land, even if they were very careful, it didn't take too long.
When all the digging was finished, everyone present was dumbfounded.
"There are so many potatoes in such a place?"
"Oh my God, it looks like there are thousands of pounds here."
The burden they brought was simply not enough, and it was far worse.
The villagers exclaimed one by one, "This is too high-yield, a thousand catties per mu, this is unheard of."
Xi Rui was also excited, but unlike these villagers, he had seen corn harvesting with his own eyes.
"You're wrong, corn can weigh more than a thousand kilograms per acre."
"But this potato seems to be more productive than corn!"
He turned to look at Shi Qingluo and asked uncertainly, "Right, Qingluo?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Yes, this potato is not only more productive than corn, but also doubles the yield."
She added: "Everyone transports the potatoes down the mountain first, and weighs them to know the approximate yield per mu."
She and Xiao Hanzheng came to this mountain before and stepped on it several times, and found that it was very remote, with no wild vegetables, no pheasants and hares, and basically no villagers came, so potatoes were planted in this area.
Otherwise, the villagers will definitely feel strange, why come here not long ago, this is still a barren hill, why are so many potatoes growing now?
Of course, Shi Qingluo also thought about it, and if it was discovered, it would be pushed to the old immortal master.
With the old immortal master there, any miraculous things can be justified.
But fortunately, she observed it and found that the villagers did not realize that the potatoes had only grown in the past few days.
Then some people picked the potatoes back first, and the yamen also followed half of them. They were mainly afraid that people would hide the potatoes.
It didn't take long for him to bring more burdens to pick.
On the last trip, Shi Qingluo and others followed everyone down the mountain.
The family of the patriarch in the village weighed all the potatoes dug up, adding up to 4,356 catties.
This number completely stunned everyone present.
The patriarch asked in disbelief: "How could there be such a high output?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded, "It should be about the same."
"My master Tuo Meng said that as long as this potato is planted and taken care of, the yield per mu will be about 3,000 to 5,000 catties."
"Although potatoes were found on barren hills, they are considered high-yield grains given to us by God, so it is normal to have more than 4,000 catties."
Hearing what she said, the others also agreed.
"Yes, this is the high-yield grain that God has given us."
Even the patriarch couldn't hold back, and took the lead in kneeling and kowtow to the mountain, "Thank you old god!"
The villagers knelt down in unison, and even the yamen who came along couldn't hold back their knees and thank them.
Shi Qingluo, who didn't have time to stop it: "..." Master, it seems that you have to carry this cauldron.
Wait until everyone's excitement calms down.
Shi Qingluo said to Xiao Hanzheng: "Everyone has worked hard today, why don't you take out some potatoes and cook them for everyone to taste."
She was thinking of letting everyone experience it for themselves. Potatoes can be eaten and the taste is acceptable.
When everyone heard this, their hearts felt warm. Madam is so nice.
However, because there are hundreds of people here, these potatoes have to be kept for seeding, so there is no one person.
Instead, three people share a potato, mainly to let them taste.
Everyone held the potatoes and ate them cautiously, as if they were eating some kind of delicacy in the world.
"Delicious, these potatoes are so delicious."
"Yeah, I would be satisfied if I could eat potatoes every day."
"I didn't expect this high-yield grain to taste so good."
For the villagers who usually eat chaffy dishes, it is just boiled potatoes, and they really think it is delicious.
The patriarch nibbled at the potato in his hand, and suddenly remembered a question.
He asked curiously, "Madam, do you know how to grow these potatoes?"
Shi Qingluo nodded and pointed to the potatoes on the ground, "This can be eaten or grown as a seed."
"Leave it for a while, wait for the potatoes to grow teeth, cut them into pieces and wait for them to be planted as seeds."
The patriarch and the others widened their eyes, and a distressed expression suddenly appeared on their faces, "We actually waste so many seeds."
The yamen, who were holding a piece of potato and eating deliciously, suddenly felt that they couldn't keep their mouths down.
Shi Qingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It was originally food to eat. Since I just discovered it, everyone will naturally have to taste it. It doesn't matter if you feel happy."
"But you can't eat the rest, you have to keep all the seeds."
Hearing her say this, everyone didn't feel so guilty, "Yes, yes, no more food, keep all the seeds!"
