Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

Su Yunluo repeated: "The yield per mu is over ten thousand catties."

"Hahaha……"

"Tens of thousands of pounds? Hahaha..."

The place suddenly broke out into laughter.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Su Yunluo asked seriously.

"Madam Su," Zhu Jiu answered on behalf of all the villagers, "We understand that you want us to grow this sweet potato well, so you deliberately said the yield is so high. But you really don't need to do this. No matter what, as long as you think this thing is good and let us grow it, we will definitely grow it. You really don't need to lie to us!"

"I'm not lying to you. The yield of sweet potatoes is just that high!"

"Mrs. Su, you probably have never grown food yourself, right? Do you know how many kilograms of rice are produced per acre of land?" A villager probably couldn't bear to listen any longer and stood up to ask Su Yunluo.

"How many pounds?"

"Here, the yield per mu of land is only over 100 kilograms. I heard that in good places, the yield is at most 300 kilograms. If you said that this sweet potato yields 1,000 kilograms per mu, we would believe it. But you said that the yield per mu is over 10,000 kilograms? This is absolutely impossible!"

After listening to them, Su Yunluo did not continue arguing with them.

Some things are truly beyond the cognition of people of this era, and no matter how much you explain them, it is useless.

Just like if Su Yunluo told the ancients that everyone would be able to live for hundreds of years or even be immortal in the future, no one would believe it!

"Facts speak louder than words. How about we put it aside for now and look at it again when we have the harvest in the future?"

"Okay." Facts speak louder than words, and the villagers thought so too.

"Next, I will teach you how to grow sweet potatoes." Su Yunluo asked the village chief to lead the way and randomly found a piece of land in Zhu Village.

"Do you have a hoe?" Su Yunluo asked.

"How can you let Madam do it yourself?" Zhu Jiu called out two villagers, each carrying a hoe: "Madam, just tell them to do it."

In fact, Zhu Jiu did this because he was more worried that Su Yunluo would not be able to turn the soil.

Look at Su Yunluo, his fingers are slender and white, he doesn't look like someone who can farm at all!

As for what she said about teaching everyone how to grow sweet potatoes, I don’t know if it will be successful!

"No need. I can still do this little job." Su Yunluo declined Zhu Jiu's kindness, took off his heavy coat, and took the hoe from a villager.

It was not until Su Yunluo wielded a hoe and tilled a piece of land in an orderly manner that everyone really believed that she knew how to farm.

After turning over a piece of land and leveling the soil, he took the sweet potatoes off the carriage and began to demonstrate to everyone how to bury them.

"After you get the sweet potatoes, first look at them. Make sure the roots are facing downwards. The ones with little round wounds here are where the stems were originally connected. They should face upwards. This way, the sprouts can break through the soil smoothly. For some sweet potatoes, it's really hard to tell which side is the head and which side is the tail, so just put them horizontally."

The villagers listened and nodded.

"After you have separated the heads and tails, you can bury them in the soil. In this way, dig a hole that is just big enough to bury the sweet potatoes. Bury them one by one in order. After burying them, be sure to water them thoroughly. In the future, when the sun is good, just water them. Do you understand everything? If you have any questions, you can ask me now."

"It seems quite simple." someone said.

The others nodded in agreement.

For farmers who make a living from the soil, growing seedlings is not difficult at all.

Su Yunluo also believed that they were telling the truth and were not lying.

"It's really simple, but it's not easy to do simple things well. But I believe everyone can do it well."

Next, we work in groups.

I have done grouping many times. Now I am very familiar with it and can do it quickly.

"You will officially start raising seedlings tomorrow. Generally, you can only start cuttings and grafting in mid-April. At that time, you only need to turn the soil, cut the sweet potato vines, and plant them in the ground. A sweet potato vine can be cut into several sections, and the length of each section is generally about half a foot. If it is not too short, it will not be conducive to survival. If it is too long, it will be a waste."

"By then, around early April, you can start preparations. First, turn the soil, then ridge it. Make the middle higher, and pile the soil on both sides towards the middle. For each ridge, plant one plant horizontally, and plant one plant about two feet apart in the long direction. That's about it. After the cuttings are done, water them every morning and evening. Wait about ten days or half a month, when the sweet potato vines are alive after the cuttings, then you can start fertilizing."

"That's about it. If I'm free, I'll definitely come over. If not, you guys can just plant it as I say."

"After about two months of planting, when the sweet potato vines have grown and become lush, they need to be turned over. This is to prevent the vines from taking root. If there are small sweet potatoes here and there, the nutrients will not be supplied to the taproot, and the yield of sweet potatoes will be greatly reduced."

Su Yunluo explained very carefully.

After she finished explaining it once, she was afraid that everyone would not remember or understand it, so she found some branches to act as sweet potato vines and demonstrated it to everyone again.

From pruning vines, to ridges of soil, to cuttings.

She spoke carefully and the villagers of Zhu Village listened attentively.

Zhu Jiu even asked the villagers who could draw to draw the process of planting sweet potatoes so that they would not forget it over time.

Because the lecture was detailed and a demonstration was given, Su Yunluo spent a whole day in Zhu Village.

It was getting dark, so we stayed in Zhu Village for one night.

Prepare to go to Huangcun next door early tomorrow morning.

For dinner, Su Yunluo still planned to go to the cafeteria.

Zhu Jiu insisted that she go to his house for dinner.

"When Madam Su came over at noon, we had no preparations, so we had to let you eat with everyone in the cafeteria. You have done so much for us villagers, and if we still let you eat dinner in the cafeteria, we would feel bad!"

After Zhu Jiu's repeated persuasion, Su Yunluo reluctantly agreed to go to his house for dinner.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw a table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat.

All good dishes.

Su Yunluo felt a little angry: "You are usually so frugal, but you spent so much money to buy these vegetables, don't you think it's a waste?"

Zhu Jiu didn't even notice that she was angry, and said sincerely, "It's not a waste. No matter how much money is spent entertaining you, Madam, it's not a waste."

The other person was so sincere that Su Yunluo couldn't even get angry.

"Don't do this again. Come over and eat together." The food has been bought, so it can't be wasted.

"No, no, no, ma'am, just eat it."

"Stop talking nonsense and sit down and eat together." Su Yunluo ordered.

Zhu Jiucai dared to sit down.

Su Yunluo had sharp eyes. Seeing a little girl peeking out from the corner, he waved at her from a distance: "Come here, come over here."
