Even though it was completely dark now, Du Ziteng still galloped on his horse desperately.
All the way to the outside of the city, I took Liu Deng's token and passed through many guards before entering the greenhouse.
After careful selection, Du Ziteng picked a sweet potato with the fattest branches and leaves. Under the watchful eyes of the two guards, Du Ziteng reached out and dug it in.
This thing is too delicate. You must know that just building this glass greenhouse has cost nearly tens of thousands of copper coins.
There was a dedicated person monitoring the temperature in the greenhouse every day. There were no thermometers in these days, so Liu Deng used the most primitive method.
To put a guard in a thin spring coat, when it feels cold, the greenhouse needs to be heated, and there is a limit on how much water to pour every day.
After taking care of her for the past few months, each of these guards began to lament that they had never been so careful in taking care of their own dolls.
I can finally see the results today!
Du Ziteng lay on the ground like a large groundhog, his two palms constantly pushing dirt to the side.
Two guards stood nearby with lanterns, carefully watching Du Ziteng's movements. Du Ziteng's hands slowly groped downwards along the sweet potato vines.
Not long after, a lump about the size of a palm appeared directly in front of Du Ziteng.
It seemed that these must be sweet potatoes. Du Ziteng was immediately overjoyed. The guards next to him also became excited. This fruit alone weighed about half a catty.
"It seems that the yield of this thing is not much different from that of corn! Our king is really powerful. He can even get such a good treasure. This is really a treasure that cannot be exchanged for anything!"
One of the guards could not help but start to admire.
"No, don't look at who our king is. He is a descendant of our great ancestor, the grandson of your majesty!"
Another guard also started chatting, and their faces were full of excitement. Liu Deng had offered a reward at the beginning. As long as these things grew up safely, each of them would be promoted to the third level, and they would be rewarded with hundreds of dollars!
Now seeing that the harvest of this thing is about to happen, their mood is naturally extremely good.
"I told you two to be f*cking honest and get this lantern for me!"
Du Ziteng didn't stop his hands. He dug down the sweet potato's rhizome. So far, although a large piece had been dug out, the rhizome was still not broken.
Although counting now, the yield of this acre is almost the same as corn, but since this root is not broken, is there still one down here?
With anxiety, Du Ziteng dug carefully. The soil was fertile river beach soil.
Moreover, it was originally mixed with a lot of plant ash, which can be said to be very fat. For high-yielding crops like sweet potatoes, it would be really bad if such land could not grow high yields!
Sure enough, after digging a few times, another huge piece of sweet potato appeared in front of the three of them. The size of this piece was completely beyond their imagination.
"I go!"
The three people's voices of surprise suddenly rang out. This piece of sweet potato was the size of a baby's head, and not only that, there were a series of shadows below it!
Du Ziteng could already feel his body starting to tremble. This output was too scary!
The two guards next to him could no longer care about anything else. They reached out to put the lanterns on the ground and joined in the digging.
The three people worked together, and in less than a few breaths, they must have dug a huge cave in the ground, and the yield of the entire sweet potato plant was finally revealed.
"Gu——dong——"
"You, you go find me a scale!"
Du Ziteng swallowed hard and then said.
The two guards hurriedly ran outside to find a scale. Such a high-yielding crop was unprecedented.
Although Du Ziteng is a little guard, he is really more thoughtful than others. After all, this is the first time to dig sweet potatoes, so of course the yield must be clearly marked.
On the ground in front of him, on a sweet potato seedling, there were actually twelve large and small fruits hanging on it. The largest one was the size of a baby's head, and the smallest one was the size of an adult's fist!
Du Ziteng carefully scooped some water from the water tank next to him and slowly washed away the dirt on the sweet potatoes.
This dark red skin looks mysteriously noble now.
"Boss, the scale is here!"
Time was running out and two guards stumbled over holding a steel scale.
The three people began to weigh the sweet potatoes carefully. In their eyes, this thing was no longer an ordinary grain. This was auspiciousness. This was a huge auspiciousness.
And now that the emperor is in Jinyang City, if King Xiangrui reports it, His Majesty will definitely be delighted!
However, this kind of thing is not something that a little guard like him can decide. What he has to do now is to weigh the weight as soon as possible and then go back and report it to Liu Deng.
"Thirteen pounds and six ounces!"
This terrifying number made all three of them stunned. This was just one plant. So far, there were a total of 4,563 plants planted in the greenhouse on this acre of land!
Du Ziteng couldn't calculate this huge number even after using his ten fingers for a long time.
He is just a little guard. He has never read a book for a few days since he was a child. Being able to write his own name is already a result of his father's efforts. The two guys next to him are even worse than him!
The three people stared for a long time, unable to figure out how many kilograms this huge number weighed.
I only know that the yield per acre should be a lot, but I can’t tell exactly how much it is.
"You two, remember this. From now on, mobilize my manpower and guard here day and night. No one is allowed to enter or exit except a few of you. No information here is allowed to be leaked. I remember it, if a little bit of information is leaked, don’t blame me for not caring about my brotherhood!”
Du Ziteng's face was filled with murderous intent. Such an important matter must not get into any rumors. This output is really amazing and must be stopped by the king.
"promise!"
Although the two guards didn't know much, they also understood that it was a great auspiciousness for a common man to be innocent and to have a jade in his possession.
They must keep their mouths shut until the king makes a decision.
"Very good, you should also know the temper of our king. As long as this matter is handled properly, the king will not treat you badly!"
Du Ziteng took off his robe, carefully wrapped the sweet potatoes in his robe, and then walked outside.
