Chapter 238 Popularization of Sweet Potatoes
Time passed slowly, the sweet potato vines in the field began to turn yellow, and it was harvest time.
Unlike harvesting rice, this time everyone went to the fields to harvest sweet potatoes in a low-key manner. Everyone knows that the yield of these sweet potatoes is not low, but after they were really harvested, they found that the yield is not only not low, but the yield is too high.
Some are well taken care of, and the yield will only be higher
Seeing the bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, everyone was worried. The yield was too high and they were a little scared.
They were afraid that someone would send people again to snatch something. Although Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei were in the village, they were mainly protecting the Chen family. They were just there to help.
If a lot of people come, and Xiao Nan takes Sui He and the others away, what will they do?
Today's sweet potatoes are like hot potatoes to them. They are reluctant to throw them away.
Fortunately, the depressed mood did not last long. After seeing the grain cart sent by the county magistrate, the villagers' mood improved a lot.
After learning that the county magistrate was collecting sweet potatoes, the villagers of Qingshan Village began to smile again. The county magistrate said that the extra sweet potatoes could be sold to the court.
Although the imperial court also had these grains, they were limited. If they wanted to spread them throughout the country, they needed to grow them in large quantities. The sweet potatoes from Qingshan Village were just the right ones to use.
Moreover, the county magistrate said that now a large part of the country has begun to grow sweet potatoes. When sweet potatoes are planted on a large scale, the sweet potatoes in Qingshan Village will not be so conspicuous.
They don't have to be afraid, as long as they keep it tightly covered during this period of time.
After hearing what the village chief said, the villagers of Qingshan Village were completely relieved. They all kept their mouths shut. After all, no one wanted to lose their heads.
Even the Zhou family, Zhou Guoer and Lin Youxiang, also went there to ask them to hide.
The sweet potatoes of the Zhou family were sent by the Lin family. They did not send the mother plant, but the vines. With the trust in the Lin family, they did not say much and planted them quietly.
Sure enough, not long after, sweet potatoes were planted in various parts of the country. When the sweet potatoes were harvested, they caused an uproar.
Grain has always been the life of farmers. When people heard that the imperial court had cultivated high-yield grain, everyone was wondering what it was.
I heard that this stuff has been sent to various prefectures and when the government distributed it, everyone was waiting at the gate of the government office, wanting to get it first.
Fortunately, after several plantings, there are already a large number of sweet potato mother plants. The village chief selects people to learn how to plant them.
They would cultivate the seeds uniformly and then distribute them to the villagers according to the number of people. Those with more people would get more, and those with fewer people would get less. Even if a family had only a few seeds, they could breed the seeds themselves after they had cultivated them for a year.
With sweet potatoes, fewer people died of starvation in the first winter. When the first batch of sweet potatoes was harvested, the old farmers cried in the fields while holding the huge sweet potatoes.
Kneeling on the ground and kowtowed towards the capital, especially those farmers who had experienced the famine years.
When sweet potatoes became popular, the sweet potatoes from Qingshan Village were no longer so conspicuous, and everyone started to take them out and plant them.
If a relative's family doesn't get much, the villagers of Qingshan Village will give some to them. It's not much, just enough for planting.
Rice was slower. It took several years for rice to become popular, and people in the north also gradually learned to eat rice.
When the time was almost right, Sui He took out potatoes, which made up for the window period of sweet potatoes. Potatoes are also a high-yield food.
The taste is also very good, it is delicious no matter how you eat it
So Qingshan Village started planting sweet potatoes in the first half of the year, potatoes in the second half, and peppers and tomatoes in the vegetable fields.
Not only that, every year people would send various kinds of seeds, and Suihe would use these seeds to cultivate, keeping the useful ones and discarding the useless ones.
This time she didn't use the space, but the land in the backyard. After all, there were many eyes around her now, and everyone was staring at her.
She still has a long life ahead of her, so let's cultivate her slowly.
The backyard is not very big, so Sui He expanded the fence a lot. The whole mountain behind Sui He's house now belongs to Sui He. That's right, the mountain behind Sui He's house is now under Sui He's name.
She began to cultivate and hybridize various plants and crops based on the methods she remembered.
Sometimes when she is free, she will graft different varieties of oranges onto an orange tree, named Duobao Tree. When the tree is full of fruits, it is particularly spectacular. In order to increase the survival rate of this Duobao Tree, Sui He also used space when grafting.
He waited until he was sure that the tree had grown well before he moved it out. At first, when it had not yet blossomed and borne fruit, it was just an ordinary orange tree. But after it bore fruit, everyone who had seen it was silent.
After hearing about this, Old Ning also rushed over without stopping. This time he came without hiding anything, because the matter in the imperial city had been resolved, the rebels had been suppressed, and the emperor's chair was completely secure.
Under the suppression of General Cui, the conflict at the border has calmed down a lot, especially the border near Qingshan Village, which is extremely peaceful.
When Mr. Ning stood under the Duobao tree, he fell into deep contemplation.
I looked at the Duobao tree, then at the Suihe, and kept looking back and forth several times.
"Tell me how you did it"
"grafting"
Over the next few days, Suihe began to educate Mr. Ning about the benefits and methods of grafting.
Finally, the tree appeared in the imperial garden of the palace. The emperor had never seen it before and was curious about it.
Suihe looked at the big pit in front of him. In order to ensure the survival rate of the Duobao tree, they dug a lot of soil. This method was also taught by Suihe. The original soil is not easy to damage the roots and the survival rate is high.
This also led to a particularly large pit in Suihe's backyard. Suihe thought about it and replanted a Duobao tree.
When she was grafting, she grafted an extra tree, hehe
Unfortunately, the Duobao tree appeared in Ning Mansion not long after. Even the grapes in the front yard were lost.
After spending a few days chatting with grandpa and grandma, Mr. Ning left with a lot of luggage. He came in an empty carriage, and when he left, there were several carriages.
Everyone suspected that Mr. Ning was here to buy goods.
During this period, Lin Wu came back, but he changed his name to Lin Wu. When he came back, he rode a tall horse and looked very majestic. No one knew how he had gotten through the past few years, but he ended up in Cui's army and became a small official.
Lin Wu had known about Huang Cuihua's actions for a long time. When he came back this time, he brought a girl with him. She was introduced to him by his colleagues, and the two of them were already married.
This time, he brought her back to recognize her relatives. As for Huang Cuihua, he ignored her and pretended that she didn't exist.
When Huang Cuihua found out about these things, she felt as if the sky had fallen and she regretted it so much. If she had been more obedient, she would be an official’s wife now.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and she dared not look for Lin Wu again. After all, the way Lin Wu looked at her was like looking at a dead person.
