Dominate the ancient academy

As everyone's riding skills improved, the fruitful month of October soon arrived.

Following the bumper harvests of peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers, sweet potatoes have also entered their maturity period.

The previously lush sweet potato leaves began to dry up and turn yellow, and the long-awaited sweet potatoes were finally ready to be harvested.

Shu Xiaoxiao went to the back mountain specifically to dig up a sweet potato to check the situation, and heard the sweet potato vines all indicating that they were ripe for picking.

Shu Xiaoxiao dug one up with her bare hands. There were five or six plump sweet potatoes under the vine. Shu Xiaoxiao was surprised herself.

These sweet potato leaves are so amazing. Even in modern sweet potatoes, you can just dig up so many of them. There are not many sweet potato leaves of this size.

As a result, the sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field were almost this big. She originally thought that modern sweet potatoes would yield about 4,000 kilograms per acre, but the sweet potatoes here would be good if they could yield 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms.

The result must be beyond her expectations! She was a little afraid to calculate how much it weighed.

But think about it, even with the use of various pesticides and fertilizers in modern times, they only target the majority, and there are always some sweet potatoes that are underdeveloped.

It’s different for Sweet Potato here. Shu Xiaoxiao can communicate with Sweet Potato in real time. Once Sweet Potato has any needs or encounters any problems, Shu Xiaoxiao can solve them promptly and quickly.

When planting these sweet potatoes, Shu Xiaoxiao contributed some effort in digging the seedlings and planting them. After that, she just played the role of passing messages between the sweet potatoes and Huo Feng and others.

The work was done by Huo Feng and others. She just opened her mouth and Huo Feng and others arranged everything properly.

However, this also illustrates the importance of communication. No matter whether it is a human, an animal, or a plant, as long as we know its needs and can communicate, it will be much easier to take care of it.

The fear is that if we talk in different languages, our efficiency will be reduced by more than half, right?

Just like the planting of sweet potatoes this time, in addition to finding the seedlings, she also served as the middleman for communicating between the sweet potatoes and Huo Feng.

If the sweet potatoes have any needs, tell her and she will pass them on to Huo Feng and the others. The information is accurate and the action is quick. Under the hard care of Huo Feng and the others, the sweet potatoes are growing happily every day.

This really proves once again that communication is extremely important!

With these sweet potatoes as seeds, sweet potatoes should be able to spread all over Daning soon!

The day when the people of Daning can have three meals a day is not far away. This is a very good start!

There is also the bet made at the beginning of the school year, and it is time for her classmates to take her existence seriously.

Shu Xiaoxiao felt happy when she thought about the bet she made at the beginning of the school year and the silver she had placed in the treasure space.

Before, I can’t say that most people thought that the yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu was too exaggerated. Not many people bet against her, so she will definitely make a fortune from this bet.

As for these sweet potatoes, Shu Xiaoxiao planned to give them to Senior Brother Yun to taste. In the academy, Shu Xiaoxiao really felt that if she had something to ask, it would be better to go directly to Senior Brother Yun instead of going to the dean.

Senior Brother Yun is the epitome of speed and efficiency in his work. He is fast and safe, and he has great mobility, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.

There are many ways to eat sweet potatoes, and these few sweet potatoes are definitely not enough. Shu Xiaoxiao dug two more and stuffed the sweet potatoes into the cloth bag she carried with her. With those few in her hand, she wanted to at least let Senior Brother Yun and Huo Feng and the others taste them.

Yun Qinghan and the headmaster were also discussing the sweet potato harvest. Ever since they heard Shu Xiaoxiao say that these sweet potatoes could yield 1,000 kilograms per mu, they have been keeping an eye on them.

Now the leaves in the sweet potato fields are dry and turning yellow. It is already October as Shu Xiaoxiao said, and I don’t know whether we can harvest it now, and whether the yield per mu can reach ten kilograms.

The headmaster's usually calm expression suddenly became a little nervous. After all, this could potentially yield a thousand kilograms per mu. If true, it would be a major advancement in agriculture. Thinking about it, he felt his blood boiling.

"Qinghan, I heard that you have the best relationship with Ye Xiao, I wonder if she told you when the sweet potatoes will be harvested?

If there is a confirmed time, our academy can arrange people at any time." The headmaster looked at Yun Qinghan expectantly.

He has been paying attention to the sweet potato yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu that Ye Xiao mentioned.

Just after October, he became a little anxious and went to the back mountain to secretly take a look several times, because he had never seen this kind of crop before and could not imagine what sweet potatoes looked like.

Isn't it just to find the disciple who is close to Ye Xiao to inquire about the situation?

Yun Qinghan made a cup of tea for the headmaster in an elegant manner and said:

"It should be within the next two days. Master, don't worry. I don't think Junior Sister Ye is the kind of person who makes rash promises. Since she said it would be at least a thousand kilograms, it must be a lot.

We don’t know anything about sweet potatoes, only Junior Brother Ye knows when the harvest will come, so we just have to wait patiently.”

As for the sweet potato yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, those who knew the situation, such as the master, the emperor, the senior brother, and himself, were all full of anticipation and waiting for a good harvest of sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are a crop that they don’t understand, and their effectiveness will only be revealed when they are harvested.

Junior Brother Ye said that the sweet potatoes can be harvested in October. It is already October now, and the harvest day is just around the corner. Junior Brother Ye has also gone to the back mountain to observe the condition of the sweet potatoes in the past two days. Junior Brother Ye must know the situation, so there is no need for him to worry. He can just wait for Junior Brother Ye to notify him.

The headmaster sighed and said, "You are right. I was too anxious."

He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

The headmaster had just calmed down when he heard Shu Xiaoxiao's voice outside the door.

"Huo Feng, take it quickly. The sweet potatoes are ripe and can be harvested." As he said this, he handed the sweet potatoes in his hand to Huo Feng, and took out the sweet potatoes from the bag one by one.

Huo Feng looked at the lump of earth in his hand, feeling a little confused. Was this the sweet potato they had taken care of for so long?

How to eat such a hard lump of earth?

Can people bite it?

"This big lump... no, it's this sweet potato. Is this the sweet potato that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu?" Huo Feng pinched the lump of earth in his hand and confirmed that it was very hard, and asked in surprise.

"Also, how do we eat this? Should we eat it directly? It's so big that it's hard to cook, right?" He had never seen food like this before.

Hearing that the sweet potatoes were ripe, Yun Qinghan and the headmaster hurried out.

They were also a little surprised to see the clod of earth in Huo Feng's hand.

Is this sweet potato?

It was really beyond their expectations and also a bit disappointing.

With fruits this big and heavy, it is indeed possible to yield 1,000 kilograms per mu, but if it is difficult to swallow, it will be a bit useless.

Yun Qinghan took the sweet potato in his hand and looked at it carefully. He didn't expect that the sweet potato that Shu Xiaoxiao talked about would look like this. It didn't look like food at all, but rather like a lump of earth on the roadside.

If we follow this weight, it would be easy to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu!

I just don't know how to eat it, it looks very solid.

Seeing the surprised looks of several people, Shu Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves, took out the dagger she carried with her, and peeled the sweet potatoes as she spoke.

"Don't be fooled by the appearance of sweet potatoes. They are not only high in yield, but also a real delicacy."

Sweet potatoes are genuine good stuff, but we should not ignore their good qualities just because of their appearance.
