Chapter 129
With Guan Zhong and his ministers eagerly awaiting the news, they finally received the news from King Ning.
In the letter, King Ning clearly stated that he agreed with Guan Zhong's approach.
And explains how to eat potatoes.
Steaming or boiling is a better way, and a richer way is to stir-fry or deep-fry.
Zhu Quan also added in the letter the storage method of potatoes: store them in a ventilated and dry place to ensure that excess moisture in the potatoes is reduced, otherwise the potatoes will germinate.
There is also news that green potatoes contain toxins and are inedible, helping them make better use of potatoes.
After Guan Zhong read it carefully several times, he was very happy!
His Highness not only agreed to dig out the potatoes, but also gave him so much knowledge about potatoes, which was of great use!
Those dug potatoes will definitely alleviate the urgent needs of Henan and Shandong!
Without further ado, Guan Zhongli ordered the potato farmers to dig out the potatoes they planted.
After the order was conveyed to the farmers, they began to carry hoes into the fields and start working.
There was no other way, the government had already sent soldiers to supervise.
Prevent them from hiding something or doing anything else.
Guan Zhong would purchase these dug-out potatoes at a reasonable price, leaving only a portion for these farmers as seeds for the next year.
But even so, farmers still feel a little regretful.
According to the previous explanation from the government, it is not the best time for potatoes to mature yet. It is more than ten days earlier than that time.
Of course, the fruits of potatoes harvested so many days in advance are different from those grown at full term.
Many farmers feel that if they wait a few days, they can harvest more and bigger potatoes.
In this way, the benefits obtained are also the greatest.
Unfortunately, in the face of orders, no one can disobey and can only obey. There is no other way.
The farmers were muttering about this in their hearts, but they didn't dare to stop and started digging out the potatoes.
At this time, someone who didn't know who it was exclaimed:"Is this a potato? Why is it so big?"
As soon as this was said, other farmers and the supervising soldiers couldn't help but look up.
I saw that the farmer who just spoke had a big potato in his hand.
That size is even bigger than a human hand!
Holding it in the palm of your hand, it looks as heavy as a stone.
No wonder the farmer who dug it up just now let out an exclamation of surprise!
It was clear that there was not enough time to harvest, but the potatoes could grow so big!
It's amazing!
The other farmers looked at that farmer's actions and couldn't help but feel envious in their hearts.
Such a big potato will have to weigh quite a bit when calculating its weight!
According to the price given, you can exchange a lot of money!
However, at this time, a wonderful idea suddenly came to their minds. Since others can do it, there is no reason why they can't do it!
Maybe there are those kind of potatoes buried in their fields now?
That's not even possible.
Thinking of this possibility, all the farmers became motivated and couldn't help but gear up.
Each one works with more energy.
This time, the supervising soldiers next to him were stunned.
Farmers who were weak just now are now working with full energy.
What happened next was beyond the expectations of those soldiers.
After the farmers started digging potatoes, they dug from morning until dark, and they did not finish digging all the potatoes in their fields.
The soldiers felt a little tired just standing there.
Not to mention those farmers who have been bending over to dig potatoes?
They felt like their waists were about to break.
But there is still an endless supply of potatoes in the field, and there is no end to them!
The potatoes are put into baskets and shipped out, but the process seems endless.
Finally, even the rattan baskets they used to carry potatoes were used up!
Who would have thought of this?
The farmers were simply shocked.
It is true that this potato is a high-yielding crop, but how can it be so high-yielding!
They have been farming all their lives, but they never thought they would encounter such a situation!
So much can be dug out of a small acre of land!
That's it, they haven't finished digging yet!
Even in those corners of the ground, there are potatoes buried in it!
The farmers feel tired and happy at the same time.
Being tired is really tiring, but being happy is really happy.
With so many potatoes, according to the purchase price given by Guan Zhong, they can make a fortune!
At this time, other farmers who had not planted potatoes were extremely jealous when they saw this harvest.
At first, they were worried that these new varieties of crops would be unstable and the harvest would be poor, so they did not agree to plant these crops.
Originally, they were still secretly laughing at these people who risked losing a year's harvest for a little money.
Now it seems that they are the ones who are stupid! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The new crops grown by those people actually have such a large yield!
Just looking at the excavated things, they have already piled up into a hill!
What exactly is going on?
How could there be such a large-yielding crop?
Since the farmers did not avoid other people when digging potatoes in the fields, many farmers heard about it and came here.
The rain this year was not good, so their harvest was not as good as in previous years.
Now when I hear that those who planted new crops have obtained huge harvests in their fields, how can I still sit still!
They all went to the farmers' fields with hesitation to watch their harvest.
Just like what was said in the rumors, all the farmers who planted new crops had their fields filled with dug potatoes!
Those farmers seemed to be celebrating the New Year, with happy smiles on their faces.
The soldiers in charge of supervision couldn't help but marveled when they saw it.
The officials in charge of this matter directed the clerks to move more quickly and speed up the weighing.
The clerks were so busy that they were sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked, but the potato hill in front of them still showed no sign of decreasing.
But they are worried.
Finally, in the middle of the night, a farmer finally finished digging one acre of land.[]
And the officials have already weighed the results.
From that farmer's one acre of land, the final harvest of potatoes actually weighed 2,000 kilograms!
2,000 pounds!
Who can imagine this?
How can one acre of land produce such a large yield?!
The clerk in charge of recording could hardly believe his eyes.
It's really amazing!
How could there be such an amazing result!
Not to mention those petty officials, now even the farmers who dig potatoes themselves are shocked!
Sweat dripped down their cheeks.
But they suddenly didn't feel uncomfortable, with only happy smiles on their faces!.
