Liu Deng was originally prepared to see Zhang Tu's joke, but he didn't expect Zhang Tu to be so lucky. Originally, one sweet potato could have a big one on top, and the rest should be small ones.
However, the one Zhang Tu was digging now had three sweet potatoes the size of a baby's head growing out of a vine, and six more the size of a palm.
Although in order to ensure the yield of sweet potatoes, Liu Deng added a large amount of plant ash to the already fertile land.
But this output shouldn’t be so exaggerated!
"How to eat this thing, Da-wang?"
Zhang Tu was crying and finally remembered the business, and suddenly used his hands covered with dirt to hug Liu Deng's thigh fiercely.
The corners of Liu Deng's mouth twitched. He had specially worn a Sichuan brocade robe today. This thing would be of extraordinary value in later generations, and it was simply not something that a small character like Liu Deng could afford.
I originally thought that for an occasion like today, I should wear something more formal, so Liu Deng specially ordered someone to make such a robe. But who knew that this was just his first appearance, and he was immediately taken aback by this old guy? Pig knuckles…
"You can eat it raw. It tastes better when cooked. You can also put it in a charcoal fire and bake it slowly!"
In order to keep the robe on his body, Liu Deng said quickly.
After hearing what Liu Deng said, Zhang Tu immediately picked up a smaller sweet potato from the ground and walked towards the water tank on the side.
"Crack--"
After cleaning it casually in the water tank, the old man simply took a bite.
The tender white juice slowly flowed down the corners of Zhang Tu's mouth, and the sweet taste made Zhang Tu's eyes suddenly light up.
"Your Majesty, this is rare and good food!"
In this day and age, sweets are reserved for wealthy people. Although the icing in this day and age looks sticky and the color is really unappetizing, even so, the price is too high. It is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Zhang Tu originally thought that with such a high yield, the sweet potatoes would not taste much better, but after tasting them himself, the rare sweet taste drove Zhang Tu crazy.
A total of 4,563 plants were planted in this acre of land. I had taken care of this place for a while, so of course I knew this number very well.
The weight of the plant he dug out alone was nearly thirty kilograms. How much does this acre of land contain?
Liu Deng stood aside quietly, watching Zhang Tu acting crazy there, clasping his fingers and mumbling something, and kept calculating.
I don't know if the old man finally understood it, but the expression on his face was getting more and more unnatural.
"Master Taifu?"
Looking at the crazy look on Tu's face, Liu Deng was really a little worried. Maybe the old man would go crazy when he was happy.
"Impossible, this is impossible, this must be a coincidence!"
Just when Liu Deng was about to step forward to test whether Zhang Tu's head was burned out, Zhang Tu suddenly pushed Liu Deng away and rushed towards a sweet potato seedling in front of him.
He tore off the rice seedling in a few clicks, and then didn't care at all about the brand new official uniform he was wearing.
He just lay on the ground, scratching at me like a large groundhog.
I don’t know if the old man is just lucky, or if the yield of this land is really astonishingly high.
When the old man was exhausted, he was already holding two sweet potatoes the size of a baby's head in his arms, and there were six or seven fist-sized ones scattered beside them.
"God, God bless me as a man! Did you see it, my late king? From now on, there will be no famine in our country!"
Zhang Tu went completely crazy, and the guards who were digging were all dumbfounded. The output of this thing was really astonishingly high, and a group of people felt as if they were in a dream.
One of the guards finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped his companion hard on the face.
"Why the hell are you hitting me?"
Of course the person who was beaten was inexplicable.
"I just wanted to ask you if it hurts?"
"Snapped--"
Of course the man wasn't angry and slapped him back.
"It hurts! It's real, it's real!"
Liu Deng suddenly felt that it would be better for these guys to stay here and farm in the future. Their IQ is really flawed. If they follow him around, it will be too fucking embarrassing in the future!
"Your Majesty, before the people of my country have enough food and clothing, this thing must not leave the country even half a step!"
When Liu Deng was hesitating whether to call the Imperial Physician Wang to take revenge, Zhang Tu suddenly turned red, grabbed Liu Deng's sleeve, and said harshly.
Come on...
This dress is unwearable...
It took a lot of effort to wear it all day long, but it's not even noon yet, and it's already stained with four or five large dark handprints.
"Master Taifu, if the land in the Hutuo Valley is returned, we really won't be able to find a suitable place for a while..."
Liu Deng spread his hands and said.
"Give it back? Who said you want to give it back? It is related to the well-being of the people of my country. If anyone dares to come and claim this land, let him step over my old man's body!"
Zhang Tu's attitude suddenly became tougher, and the corners of Liu Deng's mouth twitched. You said all the damn things by yourself. The one who just clamored to return the land, wasn't that you? ?
"Cough-cough-"
Liu Deng really had to hold it back for a long time before he could curse out loud. He could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.
"What are you two doing? Hurry up and work for me, hurry up and finish the work. When the work is done, you two can go home. I will give you three days off, and each of you will be rewarded with a hundred guan to be promoted to the third level. !”
While Liu Deng was speaking, he kicked a guard in the butt who was crying. It's okay for Zhang Tu, the great master, to cry here. You little guards are joining in the fun. You're not looking for a beating. ?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Deng's words immediately ignited the emotions of all the guards.
After being held back in this damn river bend for four or five months, these guys have almost turned into wolves. Not to mention looking at women, even looking at an old sow, they already feel strange in appearance.
Everyone cheered when they heard Liu Deng said that he would have three days off and a reward of hundreds of dollars.
With these one hundred copper coins, even if you don't have a wife, you can still have a wife!
With Liu Deng's huge reward in front of them, the enthusiasm of the guards naturally increased. Once this enthusiasm increased, the speed of work naturally increased.
In less than an hour and a half, these people dug up all the sweet potatoes in the two greenhouses.
Looking at the small mountain of sweet potatoes, Zhang Tu was already shaking with excitement.
