After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 430 Harvest
"Okay, tomorrow I'll go over and see how much the potatoes can produce per acre of land."

Ye Hanyu actually didn't think so, but the potato seedlings on the Zhuangzi were already yellow, obviously they couldn't grow any more, so they had to dig them out first.

In the field, sweet potatoes can be regrouped and planted. Sweet potatoes are easy to plant, just pick up some sweet potato vines.

On Zhuangzi, Gu Wanning took a few concubines and maids to work in the kitchen early in the morning. There were not many potatoes planted in the field, but they just picked out the sprouted potatoes and planted three acres of land. Left and right, these long-term workers on Zhuangzi can dig out all of them in less than an hour, but the emperor will come, and if the emperor comes, he will definitely bring many officials with him, so she has to make preparations early.

At the beginning of Sishi, the emperor's car finally arrived at Zhuangzi, followed by a large group of officials, including King Chen.

Ye Hanyu was startled by the movement made by his father. His Zhuangzi is not very big, so many officials might not be able to sit down together.

"I send my respects to my father, my father, Jin An."

The emperor got off the carriage and looked around, "Get up quickly, aren't the potatoes planted at the foot of the mountain in the north?"

"Yes Father."

"Let's go, go collect the potatoes first, and we'll talk after you finish collecting the potatoes if you have something to say."

The ministers also got out of their carriages and followed them to the foot of the mountain. At this time, the wheat seedlings in the field were all green, but it was different from other fields. The wheat here had some gaps between the furrows, as if it had been deliberately set aside. Yes, the emperor knew that the gaps in between were the cabbages and radishes that were planted last autumn, and the cabbage and radishes had been ripe and picked long ago, so these gaps were emptied.

Zhan Wang years ago ordered someone to send a batch of cattle and sheep back. Gu Wanning specially had hundreds of cows raised in the cattle pen that Gu Wanning asked people to circle. The potatoes to be harvested today are not many, only three acres of land, and they are still warming. In the shed, so the long-term worker can only use a pickaxe to plan.

When the emperor led the courtiers into the warm shed, Ye Hanyu asked the emperor for instructions, and with an order, the long-term workers who had been prepared by standing on the ground waved their pickaxes to start work.

The women on the Zhuangzi pick up in the back with baskets or baskets. After a short time, the baskets half the height of a person are filled with potatoes. There are special people carrying the baskets and putting them on the scales for weighing. There are also children behind the adults. Picking up the fallen eggs buried in the soil, there are too many people and too little land. In just half an hour, all the potatoes on the three mu of land were harvested.

Seeing the baskets of potatoes being carried over, those grown-ups couldn't help but count the number of baskets excitedly. Senior Sinong Qi said excitedly: "The yield of these potatoes is definitely more than two thousand catties per mu. High yield, this is the real truth. The high yield, the heavens are auspicious, the heavens are auspicious!"

The little official in charge of counting the catties once suspected that he had miscalculated the number, so he counted it three or four times, and asked his companions to do the same count twice, before he finally dared to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there are a total of We harvested 420 catties of potatoes, with an average yield of 3807 catties per mu, which is a bumper harvest, congratulations to the emperor and congratulations to the emperor!"

All the ministers also knelt down and shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

"Hahaha, it's really worthy of congratulations! Sixth, go prepare meals. Let's not eat anything else at noon, just eat these fresh potatoes. You let your princess cook well, and let's taste the taste of these potatoes."

"It's the father. The son-in-law will let her do it quickly. The father should move to Zhuangzi."

"Go and do your work. I'll go and see the sweet potatoes you planted. I'll go back later by myself."

Ye Hanyu knew that his father, the emperor, was excited at the moment, not to mention the emperor, he was also excited. The yield per mu of more than 800 catties, what kind of concept is this, it is simply unheard of, never seen before!

But now is not the time for him to be excited, he has to quickly arrange the lunch for his father and the courtiers.

Seeing his back in a hurry, the prince couldn't help sighing. While he was busy wooing the courtiers, the sixth brother was farming. They looked down on farming, but they didn't know that the sixth brother's actions were the real smart people.

A small potato makes such a big commotion. I heard that another crop called sweet potato is planted in the greenhouse next to the potato. If the sweet potato can grow several thousand catties per mu, Lao Liu The hat of the prince of Yujun should also be changed.

Ye Hanyu didn't care what the prince was thinking, he had someone pick out all the potatoes that had been shaved by the pickaxe and put them together, and then ordered the long-term workers to transport all the intact potatoes back to the cellar on the village.

Gu Wanning used those injured potatoes to cook dishes, such as hot and sour potato shreds, fried pork with potato shreds, stewed chicken with potatoes, beef stewed with potatoes, fried potato balls, potato cakes, potato rice, etc... Wait until the emperor brings people from When they came back from the greenhouse, almost all the dishes were cooked, and everyone had a hearty potato feast.

Among them, the most popular are the three dishes of hot and sour potato shreds, potato stewed chicken and potato stewed beef. After making a big pot and eating these dishes, there is not even a soup left in the end. The emperor nodded while eating: "This potato is good. Ah, I can cook as well as cook a meal. When the winter wheat is harvested this year, I can immediately plant a crop of potatoes, and the harvest can be harvested in more than three months. I will continue to plant winter wheat in autumn. In this way, we in the north will also It can achieve two crops a year, and three crops a year if interplanting."

In fact, it is not rigorous to say three times a year, but they have to listen to what the emperor says, because everything the emperor says is right.

After eating and drinking, King Chen went to Ye Hanyu privately: "You have to save some of this potato seed for the emperor this year. The emperor likes to eat this dish!"

Ye Hanyu said: "Uncle, these are the potatoes, and the number that can be grown this year is limited, but as for the sweet potatoes, I can save some for the uncle. They are also more delicious than potatoes, very sweet. According to my princess, they can still be produced." Rice noodles, the dishes made with rice noodles are more delicious, do you want it?"

"Is it true that the potatoes can't be evened out?"

"No, I really can't. These potato seeds originally weighed more than 3000 jin, and they can be planted with more than ten acres of land. In addition, today's these are only more than 50 acres. Father suddenly rewarded us with another [-] acres of land. As far as we don't have enough to grow, we will definitely not be able to spread out this year.

But sweet potatoes are different. After more than a month, those sweet potatoes in the greenhouse will be able to grow. When new seedlings are bred, there must be enough for you to eat. "

King Chen nodded, originally he didn't want to do business and planted sweet potatoes to sell, he just wanted to eat something fresh, since his nephew said to leave some sweet potato seedlings for him, he had nothing to say.

"Okay, that's the trick. You have to plant potatoes quickly. You only plant tens of acres of land, which is really too little."
