Regarding potatoes, in modern times on earth, the yield of one acre of potatoes is basically between 3,000 kilograms and 5,000 kilograms per mu, which is the normal range.
For example, in the Zhou Dynasty, one acre of potatoes could only produce 800 kilograms.
This is not possible except for the various technologies such as agriculture here.
It’s the variety of potatoes.
For example, on earth, basically, as long as you cover the ground with film, the yield of potatoes will basically be 5,000 kilograms per mu.
And in some special places, where the land is fertile, the yield per mu is not impossible.
There are even some places where the yield of potatoes per acre is tens of thousands of kilograms!
Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the various breeding techniques in "Shen Nong" and wanted to cultivate them.
This potato is definitely a good thing.
From now on, not only can it be planted in normal seasons, but it can also be planted in greenhouses in winter.
As long as the potato production increases.
The good days of the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely flourish! !
Once the food supply increases, the labor force will also increase!
And, most importantly, this matter is not just about potatoes.
Now the Zhou Dynasty was in urgent need of a crop with huge yield.
This potato is not just a matter of people eating it.
This does not mean that once potatoes are grown, every household will be able to eat them.
Importantly, potatoes can be exchanged for more other things.
For example, raising pigs!
Why is pork so expensive now? Why is it as difficult for the people of the Zhou Dynasty to eat pork as if they wanted to go to heaven?
One reason is that the Zhou Dynasty was just recovering from the war.
But the problem is that it wasn't much better before.
That's why.
It’s not because pigs are difficult to raise!
This pig is not a chicken. You can raise it with rotten skins of melons and fruits. Even if you don't care about it and just throw it into the mountains, the chicken won't starve to death.
But the same cannot be said for pigs.
Although this pig can eat swill, it must be fed something serious so that it can grow meat and fat!
How about the current conditions of the Zhou Dynasty?
Stop talking about pigs.
Just look at Qingqiu Village now. There are more than 500 households in this village, but the village chief only has a dog.
It's hard to find even a dog in this village.
So why?
Why else? These rural people sometimes can't even eat stick noodles now. When times of difficulty come, or they encounter some natural disasters.
Let alone what dogs eat, people have to eat dogs.
If this dog is like this, how should we feed the pigs?
But once crops with huge yields like potatoes are produced, can pigs be fed?
If this person can eat pork, does that make him more energetic?
When people don’t stare at the empty food jar at home and worry about it every day, but can eat and drink enough, will they be able to do more other things?
When young people no longer worry about high housing prices every day, but have energy and dreams to do other things, will the country have more hope?
Same reason.
As long as potato production can increase dramatically, it will not only bring about the problem of people being fed, but also the problem of people being able to eat meat.
That brings a lot of benefits!
If Lu Yuan could cultivate potatoes with a yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu, it would not be an exaggeration for the Zhou Dynasty to build a temple for Lu Yuan.
This poor person wants to be rich, and this rich person wants to be famous.
As for famous people, they want to leave their name in history.
This is true for everyone.
Of course, this is a far stretch, and considering the conditions of the Zhou Dynasty, it would be really difficult to achieve a yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu.
The level of agriculture is really low.
Just say that Lu Yuan went directly to modern times to get a well-cultivated potato that could yield 10,000 jins per mu. Even in the Zhou Dynasty, it was impossible to grow potatoes with a yield of 10,000 jins per mu.
There is no reason. The question is that the level of agriculture cannot keep up.
The chemical fertilizers of the Zhou Dynasty all depended on the dung in the village toilets. How could they produce tens of thousands of pounds per mu?
But...
It is difficult to produce 10,000 kilograms per mu, but...
I want one with a yield of 3,000 jins or 5,000 jins per acre.
It's still possible if you work hard.
If the yield per acre is 3,000 jins or 5,000 jins, then a temple must be built for Lu Yuan! !
The current potato yield of the Zhou Dynasty is only 800 jins per mu, and the total yield of potatoes per acre is 5,000 jins. How many times has this increased!
Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Mainly it takes time.
This thing doesn't mean that Lu Yuan stayed up late and worked overtime to draw pictures of things like a thresher and a bicycle in one night.
Lu Yuan wants to cross and breed in various ways.
No matter how smart you are about these things, you have to wait for the potatoes to take root and sprout, right?
When the time comes, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the experimental field and wait.
However, no matter what, let’s start from the beginning.
It just so happens that I can't do anything recently.
If his wife becomes pregnant in the future, she will still be unable to do anything.
Gotta find something to do.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan would be so greedy if he looked at the alluring Su Liyan every day?
At this time, after chatting for a while, Lu Yuan suddenly coughed.
Su Liyan, who was chatting happily with Zuo Wanling, was startled. The next second, she immediately stood up and looked at Zuo Wanling and said:
"Wan Ling, let's go back first. My man is probably going to freeze."
As Su Liyan said this, she came to Lu Yuan's side.
Zuo Wanling was startled, but nodded with some regret.
All the young women of her generation in this village have married off, and Zuo Wanling is the only one who still stays in Qingqiu Village.
All my old friends are gone. It’s rare to meet a good friend from before. I want to chat more, that’s for sure.
However, it's not bad. Everyone will be back tomorrow on the second day of the new year.
Lu Yuan also stood up, and then said directly:
"Um...Wan Ling, right...your potatoes are really delicious. Do you still have them at home? I'll buy some for you."
Zuo Wanling was startled, then smiled and waved her hands:
"Oh, how much do a few potatoes cost? I'll get them for you right now."
Everyone in the room also smiled and said they didn’t want money.
This thing is worthless.
Although he said he didn't need any money, Lu Yuan still left five yuan.
When the time comes to produce five thousand kilograms of potatoes per acre, she must have a quarter of Zuo Wanling's credit for it?
It’s a good sign. Why is it said to be a good sign? Because...
Finally, Lu Yuan put his hands in his pockets, and Su Liyan took her man's arm with one hand and carried a net of big potatoes with the other, and came out of Zuo Wanling's house.
After being outside for more than an hour, it was really cold.
After returning home, Lu Yuan went directly to the kang. There was no way to cultivate the potatoes now. He would go back to find Lin Fusheng.
Ask Lin Fusheng to grant himself a dedicated greenhouse, and then he will study it himself.
The greenhouse used in the last experiment was a great success. Next, greenhouses will be built one after another on the wasteland around the imperial city.
In the evening, the second uncle's child also came back. Lu Yuan looked at it, even though he was two years older than Su Changliang.
However, he is not as tall as Su Changliang, but quite stocky.
A bit shy and not very good at talking, just like Su Changliang before.
At first glance, he looks like he is a good worker.
With the help of his eldest son, the second uncle will be much more relaxed in the city in the future.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the daughter-in-law takes the man back to her parents' home.
Lu Yuan directly let his wife go out to play.
Anyway, I was ordered to do some chores at home by my mother-in-law.
Isn't Su Changliang involved in this chore?
I haven't seen this old friend for a while, so I must ask my wife to go see him and have a chat.
Originally, Lu Yuan planned to sleep until early morning on the second day of junior high school and then go back.
That's all, Lu Yuan was thinking about Tudou.
In addition, it is not easy to go fishing during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Yuan couldn't stay here either.
After lunch, we were ready to go back.
Su Changliang is also planning to take the bullock cart back to the city and start work tomorrow.
"Mom, let's go back then. People will come when we are in the third grade of junior high school.
When the time comes to build a house, you can go to my second uncle's house or go to my third uncle's house to squeeze in. You can just figure it out. "
Lu Yuan was riding on a horse, holding his well-behaved wife in his arms, looking at the Su family at the entrance of the courtyard and said.
Su's father and Su's mother also smiled and nodded.
Then, Lu Yuan looked at his second uncle again and said with a smile:
"I'll get it done over there by then. I'll send you a letter. Just go directly. I'll pick you up at the East City Gate then.
When your restaurant is about to open, we will all go to the city and have a lot of fun and have a place to live. Don't worry. "
Lu Yuan thought that his big house was empty and he could let the Su family live there for a few days.
How many days will the Su family live here for free?
Then you can't clean it up for yourself?
Once these people are dealt with, won't my wife feel lighter?
Otherwise, because of my wife’s restless personality, she would just want to go to the big house to clean things up.
When everyone heard that they could enter the city, they all nodded excitedly.
Then, Lu Yuan waved the reins and left.
Today, my wife-in-law searched the Su family again and brought a lot of things with her.
This horse can't run. If we don't leave early, we won't be able to go back at night.
By the time Lu Yuan returned to the city, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.
It's time for every household to have dinner.
The conditions in the city are much better than in the countryside.
During the Chinese New Year, every household has something good to eat, and the yard is filled with the aroma of vegetables and meat.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lu Yuan moved his nose.
Um……
To be honest, Lu Yuan is not usually fond of eating meat, but he likes to order stinky fish and rotten shrimp.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lu Yuan smelled the smell of steamed salted fish.
After more than five hours of jolting, Lu Yuan was a little greedy.
After looking around, Lu Yuan handed the horse rope to his wife and said:
"Daughter-in-law, you go home first. I'll go to Gao's house to get something."
Go to Gao's house to get something?
Su Liyan was startled and a little confused.
what does this mean?
It was obvious that Su Liyan didn't quite understand.
However, Su Liyan didn't ask. There were so many things right now. She had to put them away properly when she got home, and she had to cook for her brother quickly.
Su Liyan immediately nodded obediently and said:
"Brother~ What do you want to eat tonight? Let me cook for you when you get home~"
Lu Yuan blinked and said:
"You heat up the steamed buns from home first, and I'll take care of the rest later."
Su Liyan nodded and said:
"Okay~"
Then Lu Yuan walked towards the Gao family.
There was no need to knock on the door, as you could see the Gao family eating inside from the window.
After Lu Yuan opened the door and walked in.
Chen Taohua, who saw Lu Yuan, immediately stood up and said with a smile:
"Brother Lu, have a great New Year."
Lu Yuan also smiled and nodded:
"Have a great New Year."
Gao Tingyu was eating with his head down. When he saw Lu Yuan, he reluctantly said Happy New Year.
When Lu Yuan looked around, he saw a lot of things placed on the table beside him.
There are mountain products and salted fish.
Especially these salted fish, there are more than a dozen of them.
What Gao Tingyu is eating now is steamed salted fish.
Sure enough, I guessed it right, it was the salted fish smell that came from the Gao family~
For a moment, Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva.
Mrs. Gao Xu was coming out of the kitchen at this time. After seeing Lu Yuan, she actually said Happy New Year.
These days, when Lu Yuan has free time, he comes to teach his daughter-in-law how to sew.
Don't tell me, this Lu Yuan is immoral, but if he is really good at sewing, he is also a true teacher.
Mrs. Gao Xu now looked at Lu Yuan in a good mood, but it wasn't like before.
Of course, even if you don't like Lu Yuan, you can't do it in front of others during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Yuan looked at Chen Taohua and smiled:
"Peach Blossom Girl, how are you practicing on your sewing machine? Is there anything you don't understand? I will start to work after the New Year.
When the time comes, I won’t have much free time, so I won’t be able to come here every day. I’m wondering if there’s anything you don’t understand today, so I’ll teach you first. "
Chen Taohua nodded repeatedly, but she didn't care about eating anymore and said quickly:
"Brother Lu, I'm still not very good at it."
Lu Yuandang nodded and said:
"Let's go, let me teach you."
Gao Tingyu looked at Lu Yuan strangely. How could this guy be so kind?
Gao Xu didn't think much about it.
The main thing is... these days, this man Lu Yuan is really teaching hard.
Before this, my daughter-in-law couldn't do anything, but now she can make some small shirts, socks and so on.
In the middle of teaching, Lu Yuan looked at the pile of things not far away and suddenly asked with a smile:
"Taohua, these things were brought from your parents' house, right? Are you going back to your parents' house?"
Chen Taohua was startled, then stepped on the sewing machine and said with a smile:
"No, my home is too far away and I don't have time to go back. My parents sent them here."
Lu Yuan nodded, calmly came to these things, picked up two salted fish and smelled them, then grinned and said:
"This salted fish tastes good. You can dry it yourself."
Lu Yuan knew that Chen Taohua had a fish pond at home.
Chen Taohua, who was stepping on the sewing machine, also looked up at Lu Yuan and said with a smile:
"Yes, Brother Lu, if you also like to eat, just take two."
Lu Yuan nodded:
"Okay, I like to eat."
Gao Tingyu: "???"
Gao Xushi: "???"
You're so good, but you're too damn fast, aren't you? ! !
Gao Tingyu understood immediately! !
Just know that this immoral thing cannot be for nothing! !
I'm afraid I didn't smell the scent of salted fish as soon as I entered the yard, and then came here for the salted fish! !
I accidentally fell into this guy's trap! !
