Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 324 Harvest
The next day Jing Yi steamed the sweet potatoes and asked Li Yi to call Lu Tingjie to the small courtyard.

Qiao Hong went to manage Yantian, and Jing Yi also needed an errand runner, so he chose a teenage boy from Jing's old department to be his entourage, and usually helped her run errands.

Usually Jing Yi will bring Li Yi with him when he comes to Yuanling County.

Lu Tingjie followed Li Yi to the small courtyard, "Yiyi, did you call me here today?"

Jing Yi said: "I invite you to eat something good today, let's go, go to the house, I've already made it."

Now is not the time to eat, Lu Tingjie was a little curious about what Jing Yi invited him to eat.

After the two entered the room, Lu Tingjie saw that there was only one plate on the table, and he had never seen the reddish-brown thing on the plate.

Jing Yi pointed to the sweet potatoes on the table and said, "I just steamed these, try it."

Lu Tingjie said: "What is this? Why have you never seen it before?"

Jing Yi said: "I found this from a foreign merchant, and I bought them all. This thing is called sweet potato, or sweet potato, because it grows underground. How do you taste it?"

Speaking of which, Jing Yi also picked up a piece of sweet potato and peeled off the outer skin of the sweet potato to reveal the white flesh inside.

The sweet potatoes grown from the sweet potato vines obtained by Jing Yi are white-fleshed. She also improved and optimized them with supernatural powers, and cultivated sweet potatoes with red soil and higher sweetness.The wood ability has really brought her great convenience.

Jingyi steamed a few pieces of sweet potatoes with white flesh and red soil, thinking about letting Lu Tingjie taste them.

Following Jing Yi's example, Lu Tingjie also picked up a piece of sweet potato and peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, and found that the flesh inside was orange-red, unlike Jing Yi's.

Jing Yi said: "I have white flesh. White flesh has less water, is drier, and is less sweet, but it is more filling. Yours is red soil, with more water, softer and more glutinous. Sweeter."

Jing Yi took a bite of the sweet potato in her hand and it tasted really good.It may be related to her birth with supernatural powers.This sweet potato with white flesh is really dry, and two pieces can fill you up.

Lu Tingjie also took a bite of the sweet potato, which was soft, glutinous and sweet, and tasted really good.Lu Tingjie quickly ate a fist-sized sweet potato.He felt a little full after eating this piece of sweet potato.

He looked at Jing Yi with sparkling eyes, "Yiyi, can this thing fill your stomach? Is it good to grow? How is the yield?"

Jing Yi looked at Lu Tingjie's eager look and smiled: "This can really fill your stomach, and it can be used as a staple food. It doesn't have high requirements on the field. It can be planted in general mountainous land, and it is relatively drought-tolerant. The yield is [-] per mu. It’s no problem, if it’s more fertile land, the yield will be higher.”

Lu Tingjie stood up excitedly when he heard the words, "Really, the yield per mu is several thousand catties? Isn't this another kind of high-yield grain? This sweet potato tastes so good and has such a high yield, we must grow it. But we must start from Where can I get the seeds?"

Jing Yi said with a smile: "Come on, follow me to the wing room to have a look."

Jing Yi neatly put the sweet potato vines that were spawned yesterday into several boxes, and she led Lu Tingjie into the wing room, pointed to a few baskets of sweet potato vines and said, "I asked the merchant from out of town to plant these sweet potato vines as seedlings. I asked him how to plant it, and I plan to take it to the mountains to try planting, and then multiply more seedlings, and try to expand the planting area next year. I believe that in a few years, sweet potatoes will become the food on the table of ordinary people together with potatoes.”

Lu Tingjie has already seen Jingyi's farming skills, and he firmly believes in her words, "Then wait for good news from Yiyi."

Lu Tingjie thought that with high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes, the lives of ordinary people would be better.

Jing Yi brought several baskets of sweet potato seedlings back to the mountains in a carriage, and then deliberately selected several different mountain sweet potatoes.

Jing Yi steamed sweet potatoes for her grandfather and the others at home, letting them try new food.

Sweet potatoes are soft and sweet and very popular with the elderly.

Qin said: "This sweet potato is really delicious. We will make more varieties in the future."

Mr. Liu said: "Yiyi, did you find this from a foreign merchant again? It's really good. Is it a high output?"

Jing Yi knew that what Grandpa cared about was the yield, so he said with a smile: "Grandpa, why do I attach so much importance to it? Because this sweet potato is a high-yield crop, it's no problem to produce a few thousand catties per mu, and we don't choose the land. Mountains can also be planted.

I will try to plant some this year, try to reproduce as many seedlings as possible, and expand the planting area as soon as possible.It will be better to promote it to the people in the future. "

Mr. Liu was very happy, "Okay, if it's what you said, then you have brought life to the common people again."

Jing Yi said: "Grandpa, don't you still believe in my farming ability? I promise I won't let you down."

The sweet potatoes were planted soon, and Jing Yi specially selected a few careful people to take care of the sweet potato fields.

As time passed, the sweet potatoes planted by Jing Yi grew very well, and she also used cuttings to propagate more sweet potato seedlings with sweet potato vines.Jingyi has planted sweet potatoes in many corners and corners.

The several workshops that Jing Yi built in Yuanling County are doing very well. After several months of brewing, soy sauce has started to be produced one after another, and soy sauce has also begun to be sold on the market.Not only soy sauce, but various sauces such as miso have also appeared in the world one after another.

Jing Yi had asked people to grow chili peppers a long time ago. There are many places in the mountains where chili peppers are grown. Jing Yi made chili sauce with the harvested chili peppers.It is very popular on the market.

Also popular are sauces such as tahini and peanut butter.Many merchants from other places come to Yuanling County to buy various sauces.Soy sauce was also distributed to various places through these merchants.

After the shops and workshops were on the right track, Jing Yi only went to visit occasionally. Apart from instructing others in farming and inspecting shops, she spent most of her time training the recruits recruited by her uncle and her Storm Squad.

After more than half a year of training, the Blast Squad has taken shape. Jing Yi began to teach everyone some martial arts such as Sanda and Capture, hoping that these players can grow up as soon as possible.

The new recruits at the new barracks also like Jing Yi's novel training methods the most. Even though they have only entered the barracks for more than half a year, they are no less skilled than those veterans.

Lin Zhuocheng is also very interested in Jingyi's training methods, and often watches his niece train recruits.Jing Yi takes good care of the recruits and teaches them sincerely.For more than half a year, the recruits recognized and admired Jing Yi very much.

As the crops in the fields of Yuanling County are harvested one after another, the people of Yuanling County are in a state of joy.

The high yield of grain and the low tax collected by the county magistrate meant that their life was better and it was not so difficult to feed their stomachs.

And the sweet potatoes that Jing Yi planted in the mountains also had a bumper harvest. Many people participated in harvesting the sweet potatoes. Looking at the pieces of fruit dug out in the field, some of them were very large, and they could be dug out in a small field. A lot of sweet potatoes came out, and the people watching were overjoyed.There are so many sweet potatoes.
