The box is very small and feels very light in the hand. The outside of the box is carved with simple patterns.
She raised her hand and slowly opened the box in front of her.
After seeing what was inside, Ying Qingci blinked in disbelief.
Is this...a potato?
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, realizing that she was not mistaken.
Seeing her reaction, a flash of understanding flashed in Geng Hanchu's eyes.
An expression that was indeed true.
She really knows this guy.
It seems that I really gave the right gift this time.
"How is it? Do you still like it?"
"like."
She did like it, and she liked it very much.
This is a potato.
"Third brother, where does this thing... come from?"
"Exotic seeds, but the Agricultural Affairs Department has been studying it for a long time but has not found it yet. I think you might be interested in this thing."
After Geng Hanchu finished speaking, Ying Qingci looked over.
"Seeds from foreign countries?"
It’s no wonder that if the seeds were native to Daling, people wouldn’t be worried about food production.
You must know that the yield of potatoes is very abundant.
Planting potatoes doesn't mean you will make a fortune, but there is no problem in filling your stomach.
"Well, I got it in exchange with a foreign country before."
"know?"
Geng Hanchu's eyes fell on her.
"Well, this thing is called potato, and there is another name called potato."
Geng Hanchu raised his eyebrows and then listened to her.
"Third brother, I don't know. Potatoes are very abundant and can be steamed, boiled, roasted or stir-fried. They are very filling..."
"The most important thing is that the yield of potatoes is very high. One acre of land can produce about 3,000 to 5,000 jins."
Hearing this, Geng Hanchu's eyes stagnated slightly, and for the first time, he turned his head to look at Ying Qingci with some loss of composure.
"really?"
Ying Qingci naturally heard the excitement in Geng Hanchu's tone.
"certainly."
Ying Qingci was very sure. After all, there was an uncle who was an agricultural expert in their family.
Every time they meet, her brother-in-law always tells her about the Agricultural College.
Even though she is not a student at the Agricultural College, she still knows most of the knowledge about agriculture.
She is still very sure about the potato yield per acre.
But of course you can't tell him this.
"I saw it in the master's notes, but it's a pity that the master didn't keep the notes."
Geng Hanchu breathed a little quickly.
Of course he knew the importance of this matter.
"Girl, do you know how to grow potatoes?"
Geng Hanchu took a deep breath, looked at Ying Qingci calmly and spoke.
"Know."
After hearing what Geng Hanchu meant, Ying Qingci breathed out and nodded.
"However, one disadvantage of potatoes is that once they sprout, a trace amount of toxin will be produced, so sprouted potatoes cannot be eaten."
Geng Hanchu frowned.
In this way, if they are planted in excess and piled together, wouldn't it be wasted after they sprout?
However, seeing Ying Qingci's expression, Geng Hanchu raised his lips slightly.
"Little girl, stop showing off."
"Third brother is really smart." Now that he had guessed it, Ying Qingci would naturally stop being secretive.
"Although potatoes cannot be used after they sprout, they can be processed into food before they sprout."
"Processed into food?"
Won't food spoil?
"Potatoes can be turned into potato powder through special techniques, or they can be made into delicacies for sale. This can completely extend their shelf life..."
In ancient times, there were no food additives or preservatives, so once made, it was completely safe and pollution-free.
Of course, the shelf life of food will also be greatly shortened.
However, this is not a problem.
Once you have an audience, selling it will not be a problem.
"However, these are just thoughts now. To really get to that step, we still need to study potato seedlings and planting methods first."
If it cannot be planted, then everything is just a fantasy.
Geng Hanchu nodded.
"Just go ahead and do it. If you need anything, just ask me."
"Don't worry, third brother, I won't be polite to you!"
"good."
Geng Hanchu chuckled and said nothing more.
Ying Qingci got the potato seeds and is now very happy.
She has to plan carefully. There are many delicacies that can be made from potatoes, such as potato flour, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, and fried potatoes...
When she thought of this, Ying Qingci felt full of motivation.
If these were put on the market, they would definitely be very popular.
Geng Hanchu felt very uneasy at the moment.
He had never seen grain yields ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms per mu before.
Now that I heard about it, I still feel unrealistic.
However, since what Ying Qingci said, there is absolutely no lie.
Nanning Prefecture
Wang Sihai has ordered the notice to be posted on the bulletin board.
After seeing the notice, many people gathered together.
"What does this say?"
"Oh, it means that this infectious disease is not a plague, but someone poisoned."
"What? Poisoned?"
A shocked voice came from the crowd.
"Didn't you say that the infectious disease this time was caused by that kind of wine? It was very famous in the town before, and many people drank it..."
"It's all rumors. Besides, there are ordinary people in that village. Think about it, that wine has become popular throughout the county. Just for the price, ordinary people can't bear to part with it..."
"That's right..."
"If the wine was really related to the infectious disease, the county magistrate would have sent people to catch it..."
"But who is he? He is so vicious that he even poisons him!"
"I hope the county magistrate can catch the person as soon as possible."
"Yeah yeah……"
"But then again, they say flies don't bite seamless eggs, so what's with the previous rumors?"
Hearing this, a figure in the crowd looked around and found that no one was paying attention before speaking.
"I heard that it's because this wine blocks the way of some people, so I want to put a crime on this wine. In this way..."
"That's it-"
"..."
"Sir, the news has been released."
"Um."
Wang Sihai nodded.
"In this matter, Miss Ying originally encountered an unreasonable disaster. What's more, the effects of raspberry wine are definitely more than that simple..."
This time he also went to Banyue Village, but he was not affected by it at all.
He even came into contact with the well water there at that time, but now he is still safe and sound.
In the past, he would not have doubted it, but after drinking raspberry wine, he clearly felt that his body was much stronger than before.
