Nongmen's elder sister-in-law is the richest in the world

Chapter 845 The food made from sweet potatoes amazes everyone again
After talking about this, they eagerly turned their attention back to the sweet potato.

Speaking of sweet potatoes, everyone was excited again. More than 2000 catties of sweet potatoes were harvested on half an acre of land. This yield is simply a miraculous existence!
Even the people present did not think that one day there would be such an output of crops in this world.

Before Shen Jianwan's improved rice seeds could produce more than 800 catties of rice per mu, this output was already extremely shocking, but now the yield of sweet potatoes at least [-] catties per mu may be grown, which made everyone like this I still feel like I'm still in a dream.

Then Shen Jianwan asked people to wash some sweet potatoes on the spot for everyone to taste the taste of these sweet potatoes. Shen Jianwan said that these sweet potatoes can still be eaten raw, and she has eaten them before and they are quite delicious. An Zi was the first to pick up one and started to chew.

Then everyone couldn't help staring at Xiao Anzi, wanting to know from his mouth whether the sweet potato is good or not.

Who knew that Xiao Anzi didn't stop after taking the first bite, and continued to eat the second bite.

Seeing the enjoyment on Xiao Anzi's face, Prefect Li probably already knew the taste of this sweet potato, but he still couldn't help asking, "Eunuch An, how does this sweet potato taste?"

"Okay... that's a good time, Mr. Li, let's try it too." Xiao Anzi said with some inarticulate speech, and he ate a third mouthful of sweet potato without stopping.

Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help but secretly swallowed their saliva. It seemed delicious. Thinking of this, many people couldn't help picking up the sweet potatoes that Shen Jianwan had washed and tried to eat them. .

And this included Li Zhifu, his eyes lit up after taking a sip, "Shen Gexiu, this sweet potato tastes really good, sweet and juicy, even more delicious than it looks on the outside."

The other people who ate sweet potatoes couldn't help nodding their heads hastily. Shen Jianwan smiled and said, "Although this sweet potato is delicious when eaten raw, it should not be eaten too much. Eating too much may cause us indigestion. So it mainly has to be cooked before eating, so you can just try this sweet potato, we still have to take it back and cook it before eating.”

Xiao Anzi said with regret when he heard the words: "It's such a pity, I think this sweet potato tastes better than fruit when eaten raw."

Seeing that Xiao Anzi really liked eating this sweet potato, Shen Jianwan couldn't help but smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry about Mr. An, this sweet potato is also very delicious when cooked, and besides boiling it can also be used to make desserts, such as sweet potatoes Sugar water, shredded sweet potatoes, and sweet potato cakes, fried sweet potatoes, etc.

In addition, it can also be used to make sweet potato vermicelli after processing. In short, there are many kinds of food that sweet potato can make.

What we people usually eat should be boiled and sweet potato porridge. "

Hearing what Shen Jianwan said this time, it wasn't just Xiao Anzi, many people at the scene couldn't help swallowing secretly, and then the pragmatic Li Zhifu even waved his hand excitedly and said that he would go back to Shen's house and try the sweet potato juice now What is the taste of cooking and cooking porridge.

So then the big guy rushed to Shen's house again, and as for the 2000 catties of sweet potatoes, the people brought by Xiao Anzi and the others naturally carried them back to Shen's house. Of course, Shen Jianwan didn't let them waste it. Dig up the remaining sweet potato seedlings of sweet potatoes.

The farm in Qiushui Town was not a few miles away from Shen's house, and Shen Jianwan and the others soon returned to Shen's house to cook sweet potatoes.

Besides making boiled sweet potatoes, Shen Jianwan also made sweet potato porridge and sweet potato syrup for Xiao Anzi, Zhifu Li and others to try first.

Sure enough, after eating several foods made from sweet potatoes, the big guy didn't find it difficult to swallow. Everyone liked the food made from sweet potatoes very much, but they didn't like the taste of sweet potatoes. I can't say a word about the food that is unpalatable.

Especially Xiao Anzi made no secret of his love for this sweet potato, and his special liking for that sweet potato syrup. He alone drank two large bowls of syrup before stopping with his stomach full.

Li Zhifu even tasted these kinds of food made of sweet potatoes, and immediately consulted with Shen Jianwan more carefully about the cultivation of sweet potatoes and how to make daily food.

In the end, he slapped his hands and decided that this year they would use the land where rice and corn could not be grown in Ding'an Prefecture to grow this sweet potato.

Because it seems that more than [-]% of the paddy fields in Ding'an Prefecture can't grow rice, and even less than half of the dry land can't even grow corn.

Even for the rice and corn that have been planted, it is still unknown whether there will be a harvest. According to their current growth conditions, a good harvest is definitely impossible. If there is no harvest, it is luck.

And to plant this kind of sweet potato is that there are not many sweet potatoes hit by drought, at least there are sweet potato leaves to satisfy the hunger, so that they don't even eat grass!

This decision of Li Zhifu was immediately recognized by Dong Yuwen and other local officials. After all, there is really no choice. If the land that cannot grow rice and corn is empty, it is a good thing as long as it can be grown. Needless to say, sweet potatoes are such a high-yield and delicious crop.

So the impatient Li Zhifu even asked Shen Jianwan to count for him how much sweet potato seedlings she could grow here, and then asked the people below to calculate how many sweet potato seedlings each family could get.

Shen Jianzhidao, the season of sweet potatoes is not as strict as that of rice, and they can still grow them here in September and October, but the yield will be lower than what they are planting now, so if they really want to grow sweet potatoes It is also possible to raise seedlings in time now, so the supply of sweet potato seedlings should not be unavailable, but the yield will be lower as they are planted later.

The result of the final discussion is that Shen Jianwan will continue to cultivate sweet potato seedlings with all his strength. In addition to Li Zhifu's vigorous promotion of planting in Ding'an Prefecture, it is estimated that Emperor Xuanping will also promote it in other arid areas when he sees their good performance, so this Sweet potato seedlings are not afraid of being wasted.

And after discussing the matter about sweet potatoes, Li Zhifu and the others will rush back to the yamen to arrange the planting of sweet potatoes and report to Emperor Xuanping. In addition, Xiao Anzi has to go back to restore the order to Emperor Xuanping. Of course, at the same time, Xiao Anzi and the others They will also bring several carts of sweet potato seedlings to the capital for Emperor Xuanping's review and to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for research.

As for the more than 2000 catties of sweet potatoes harvested today, King Qingfeng ordered half to be sent to Emperor Xuanping, and the other half was kept by Shen Jianwan and his family. He even had to pay Shen Jianwan for buying sweet potato seedlings and sweet potatoes. But she was rejected by Shen Jianwan,

She said that the reason why she charged everyone five cents per mu for sweet potato seedlings was because she was afraid that her family would not have the financial resources to cultivate enough sweet potato seedlings, so she charged everyone five cents per mu for the cost of sweet potato seedlings.

Secondly, the most important thing is that I am afraid that giving these sweet potato seedlings for free will not make people value and cherish them, and plant them well.
