It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room
Chapter 36: Are you planning to take the wheat seeds?
Everyone in the Ye family found it unbelievable and looked at her in disbelief.
But Ye Nanyue's expression and tone were serious, and there was a seriousness in her eyes when she talked about planting potatoes.
She didn't look like she was joking at all.
For some reason, the little sister who I used to think was lazy, greedy, good at nothing and only a spendthrift, suddenly became holy.
There was even an inexplicable sense of trust in her, and he couldn't help but look at her and calm down.
She...she didn't look like she was joking at all.
"I read in a book that the yield of these potatoes is very high, over 2,000 kilograms per mu. I did find some when I dug them up in the back mountain."
Ye Nanyan said, "Once you dig them out, there are a lot of them. They can be used as food or used in cooking. They taste great. I've already germinated some of them and brought them all here today."
"But since this is our first time planting, to be safe, we should only plant 20% in the ground. What do you think, Dad?"
After all, Old Man Ye is the head of the family, so you have to ask him about farming matters.
Old Man Ye was a little excited at the moment, and even hadn't digested Ye Nanyue's words: "Girl, you...wait a minute, how many kilograms do you say you can produce per mu? Two thousand kilograms?"
Old Man Ye's eyes widened, and he looked at Ye Nanyue in shock and surprise: "Girl, are you telling the truth?"
In fact, what Ye Nanyue said was conservative.
It is said that the yield of modern potatoes can reach four to five thousand kilograms per mu.
But it requires relatively loose, fertile and well-drained soil.
Ye Nanyue was afraid that if she said too much, the Ye family would not believe her. Moreover, she had no experience in planting and could not pass on much experience to the Ye family, so what she said was relatively conservative.
Therefore, let the Ye family give it a try first. If it succeeds, then let everyone in the village follow suit.
According to the description in the original book, after the spring rain begins next spring, drought and famine will follow.
Many crops cannot grow, and there will be many refugees in the next two years. These refugees have no food, and many are infected with plague.
The reason is the drought and famine after the spring.
In the original book, the appearance of the time-traveling woman became the cause of the drought and also the opportunity for Lu Huaiyang.
It is also an important part of Lu Huaiyang's turnaround.
As we all know, it is almost standard for a time-traveling woman to plant potatoes.
According to the description in the original book, the heroine took out potato seeds and presented them to Lu Huaiyang.
Many refugees took the potatoes to places with water sources and planted them. Lu Huaiyang then used the potatoes to provide disaster relief.
Since Ye Nanyue knew it in advance, then... she would prepare in advance.
Firstly, it will make it easier to attack Lu Huaiyang, and secondly, it will provide a backer for the Ye family in the future.
Finally, it was for the poor refugees to have something to eat.
If we start preparing now, there should be enough time.
If you are lucky, you might be able to grow two crops.
But if they want to get the villagers, and even people from neighboring villages, to join in the planting, the Ye family must first show some style and grow something.
At that time... maybe I can use the Ye family's grain as seeds, and then I will have the capital to negotiate with the village head, or even the head of the neighboring village.
She needs the Ye family to trust her unconditionally first.
"Dad, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem. I think... there's nothing else to grow on those fields in the back mountain, and the soil is quite loose, so we can give it a try. Don't take so many potatoes from the field, just plant wheat."
Ye Nanyue spoke to Old Man Ye in a serious tone.
As Ye Nanyue spoke, she picked up a potato that had already sprouted and told them the general planting method.
"But one thing is for sure: these sprouted potatoes are poisonous and cannot be eaten. They can only be used as seeds. So, don't eat them by mistake."
This is very important, Ye Nanyue should explain this clearly first.
Others don’t know what these potatoes are and may not steal them for the time being, but the Ye family has already eaten them. Ye Nanyue feels that she should explain it clearly.
Old Man Ye was obviously tempted: "Even if it's edible, you can't eat the seeds. Nan Yan..."
"Dad, do we really want to grow this?" Sister-in-law Du was quite direct and couldn't help but look at Old Man Ye: "What if it doesn't work?"
Ye Nanyue said, "I don't think so. I've read about it in a book, and... I've also dug some up in the back mountain. I noticed this kind of thing in the back mountain last year and watched it grow."
It is understandable that her family members suspect her.
Especially the two sisters-in-law.
Old Man Ye and Mrs. Hu regard the Ye family as a whole, but the two sisters-in-law are different. In their hearts, they also have their own small families.
The original owner was too pretentious.
Therefore, when questioned by them, Ye Nanyue did not get angry, but instead patiently explained.
Because of what she brought today and her performance tonight, everyone had let down their guard against her.
Now after hearing what Ye Nanyue said, the two sisters-in-law looked at each other and were speechless.
If, if Ye Nanyue really has ulterior motives, it seems that she will not gain any benefit by doing this.
Old Man Ye, including Big Brother Ye and Second Brother Ye, three real farmers, were already eager to make a move after hearing what Ye Nanyue said.
Only the third brother Ye Jingming looked at Ye Nanyue suspiciously, not knowing what he was thinking, and he never expressed his opinion.
After thinking for a moment, Old Man Ye finally made a decision: "Since Nan Yan has said so... then I will make the decision. Do you have any objections to planting these potatoes? If you do... we will think of a solution."
Big Brother Ye was the first to express his opinion: "I believe in my little sister."
Brother Ye thought about it and said, "I believe in my younger sister, too."
The two men ignored the glances their wives gave them.
In short, I just believed Ye Nanyue blindly.
I have to say, seeing the two elder brothers like this, Ye Nanyue felt somewhat touched.
Ye Nanyue fully understood how much trust her two elder brothers had in her.
Mrs. Hu and her two sisters-in-law also nodded.
Ye Nanyue glanced at her third brother, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she took it as his agreement.
"Dad, should we plant wheat on the other land?" The potato issue was settled, and Ye Nanyue asked about wheat.
The wheat seeds she brought had high yields and were different from the seeds of this era.
"Yes, to be on the safe side, let's plant wheat." Old Man Ye unconsciously became more serious when talking to Ye Nanyue.
Ye Nanyan thought about it and couldn't help asking Old Man Ye: "Dad, where are the wheat seeds at home?"
As soon as Ye Nanyue asked this question, the other people in the family looked at her with vigilance again!
Especially the Du and Wei families!
I thought this sister-in-law had really changed her personality and was waiting here?
Wheat seeds are the most valuable...
Is she planning to steal the wheat seeds?
