Chapter 122: Amazing yield of food
"Village Chief, I have recorded everything. I also filled in the name outside each seed so that we can identify what kind of seed it is." Meng Yi stepped forward and said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, making it easier for people to preserve these seeds."
"No." Meng Yi responded and immediately asked someone to collect the seeds.
"Wait, why are you collecting them?" Qin An said: "There are not many seeds here, just find a piece of land and plant them directly."
Especially potatoes and sweet potatoes, they don’t require much land. They can be planted directly into the land and watered regularly.
There are also some peanuts..."
Qin An felt that instead of collecting them, it would be better to plant the seeds directly. There was not much else in the village and the most land. Just find a piece of land and dig a hole to plant it.
There is really no other place, but the yard here will do. Anyway, the yard is also a dirt road, not a cement road.
Seeing what Qin An said, Ying Zheng still didn't dare to squander these seeds casually.
"Sir, it's better to choose a piece of fertile land and start planting again. There's no need to rush."
"In that case, let's do as the village chief said. I want some seeds of potatoes, peanuts and cherry tomatoes. Plant them in the yard."
"This is your property. You can do with it whatever you want." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Qin An smiled and said nothing in his mouth, but said in his heart: "What do you call my thing? When you see the seed, you look like it is mine. I said it is mine, and you still don't beat me to death."
"Village Chief, these are all gifts I brought, and now they all belong to the Village Chief. The reason why I have these three kinds of seeds is because they are easy to feed and delicious.
Leave the rest to the village chief. I hope that in a year, everyone in the village will be able to eat new fruits and vegetables.
Especially potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, these three can be vegetables or staple foods.
What's more important is their yield. What I buy are high-quality potatoes, which can weigh more than 4,000 kilograms per acre.
Sweet potatoes can weigh at least 2,500 kilograms, and the highest can reach about 4,000 kilograms.
As for the corn, there is a little less, about 800 to 1,200 jins, but it is enough to eat, so there is no need to plant too much. "
Meng Yi said in shock: "One stone is one hundred and twenty kilograms, which means that one acre of good land can grow potatoes for about thirty-three kilograms. Sweet potatoes can be grown for about twenty kilograms, and even corn can be grown for about ten kilograms.
Oh my god, our current grain yield per mu can reach 300 kilograms, which is a blessing from heaven.
Under normal circumstances, it's only one or two hundred pounds.
Now the potatoes have increased twenty times, the sweet potatoes have increased ten times, and even the corn has increased several times. "
Ying Zheng felt his head buzzing. This was really a fantasy. Is it possible? Is this likely to yield that much?
General Lu, Gong Shuyang, Zhang Han and others couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the same question appeared in their minds: Is this true? Is this possible?
Hu Hai said heartlessly: "Don't believe what you say, sir. If there is really such a large output, there will be no people starving to death in that world."
Ying Zheng and others all looked at Qin An, hoping that he could answer this question, which was related to the food and clothing of the people in the world. What is more important is the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty.
Qin An smiled and said: "It's normal for you to have doubts. Let me tell you, although potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes can be eaten as food, we use them as food occasionally at most and as vegetables at most.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn can all be ground into flour and made into various delicacies. "
Hu Hai smiled and said: "Father, don't you think this is revealing? They don't eat potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, so what do they eat?"
Ying Zheng and others were also very curious.
"Sir, if the outside world doesn't eat these things, then what should we eat?"
Qin An smiled and said, "Of course I eat rice. After continuous research by the country, the rice yield per mu can now reach one thousand kilograms. This is thanks to Grandpa Yuan, who developed hybrid rice, so that the country's 1.6 billion people will not go hungry."
You will be able to see this when you go out from now on. Oh, by the way, I have a photo on my phone. "
Qin An quickly found a photo in the album. It was a photo of a woman standing under the ears of rice.
"Look, this is the latest third-generation hybrid rice developed by the country. The two-meter-long rice ears can allow people to enjoy the cool weather."
Qin An showed the photo to Ying Zheng and others.
After Ying Zheng and others looked at them one by one, they all gasped.
"Oh my God." Zhang Han said, "The highest rice ears I have ever seen only reach my waist, and this one is taller than me."
Ying Zheng said: "I have never seen such high ears of rice. Sir, are there seeds of this kind of rice among the seeds you bought?"
Qin An shook his head and said: "I didn't buy it. I never thought that the village would be so backward. These seeds are actually just to satisfy my appetite.
Now it seems that I have done a big favor to the village. It would be even better if all the remaining seeds can be found. "
Ying Zheng said: "Sir, you have indeed done a great favor to the village. Please rest assured about those seeds. I will send people to continue searching. If I can find them, they are the same."
"Okay." Qin An nodded and said, "I am happy today. I will personally cook new delicacies for everyone."
"Then it's hard work, Mr. Ying Zheng said.
Then Qin An came to the kitchen, found some flour, and started kneading.
yard.
Ying Zheng waited until Qin An left, then restored the majesty of the First Emperor and asked: "General, what happened? Why did you attack Hu Hai?"
He had already vented his anger last time, and it would be unjustifiable to beat Hu Hai innocently again.
"Reporting to my father, this is what happened..."
Immediately, Jiang Lu told what happened on the mountain.
"Father, the eighteenth brother actually said such nonsense. For the sake of the soldiers who worked hard for the Qin Dynasty, I just beat him up, which is considered a light punishment."
Ying Zheng looked at Hu Hai with a gloomy face and said angrily: "Hu Hai, you despise the Qin soldiers so much, no wonder you can kill your brother and sister.
Your behavior makes me very disappointed. I have decided to deprive your son of all his rights in the village. Like the common people, he needs to work with his hands to eat.
Second child, you are responsible for supervising this matter. If Hu Hai is still arrogant and bullying the villagers, you can beat him directly.
I give you permission to beat him to death. "
"No." Young Master Gao responded.
"Your Majesty, father and son, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to be punished." Hu Hai immediately followed the instructions,
A good man never suffers immediate losses. Hu Hai knew that he was the one who caused trouble now and could no longer cause trouble. He had plenty of time anyway.
Fusu has a weak character. As long as he suffers misfortune, he will not be able to live a good life in the future.
