Chapter 47 Digging Potatoes

Su Qing took County Magistrate Shen to the potato field. "Uncle Shen, those are sweet potatoes. They mature in August and have a similar yield to potatoes!"

"What? The sweet potatoes grown over there also have this kind of yield?"

"more or less!"

"Great! God bless me with a great harvest! The people won't go hungry anymore! Then let me know when the harvest is ready, and I'll sell the sweet potato seeds to the government!"

"Ok!"

"Dongmei, go and ask the village chief to come over to my field and tell him that the county magistrate is here!"

"Okay, young lady, I'll go right away!"

Dongmei invited the village chief over. When he saw the county magistrate, the village chief trembled as he paid his respects to the county magistrate!

County Magistrate Shen quickly helped the village chief to his feet. "Uncle Village Chief, no need to be so polite. I came to see the potato yield! I heard your family also planted potatoes. You can sell them to me after you harvest them. Don't rush to dig them up yet. Wait until Qingyatou's family finishes harvesting, and then I'll go to yours!"

"Grandpa Village Chief, Lord Shen bought our potatoes for seeds at five cents a pound!"

"Okay, thank you Qingbao, thank you sir!"

Everyone was busy digging potatoes. In one hour, an acre of potatoes was dug!

Lord Shen asked people to start weighing, and the final calculated yield per mu was 6,630 kilograms. Then everyone continued to dig the second mu of land, and after digging, the calculated yield was 6,700 kilograms.

"Uncle Shen, my family reclaimed this land to grow crops. If it were good quality farmland, there would be more crops!"

"Wasteland can produce so much!"

But Lord Shen Wenchao was very excited!

"Uncle Shen, it's almost time for lunch! Why don't you go to my house for lunch and then dig at the village chief's house this afternoon!"

"I'm going to dig up my grandma and grandpa's house tomorrow!"

"Okay, little girl!"

The group went to Su Qing's house in a grand manner, and Su Qing took County Magistrate Shen to the workshop's canteen for a buffet!

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Su Qing took everyone to get plates and chopsticks, and then told everyone to put whatever they liked on the plate!

Everyone was surprised by this way of eating! You can choose to eat like this!

Su Qing said, "This is called a buffet. Just take as much as you want to eat. Avoid waste!"

"Grandpa Village Chief, you are eating here too, accompanying the County Magistrate!"

"Good Qingbao, then I'll obey your command! Haha! I, an old man, want to try this buffet too!"

Su Qing brought fruits and juice to the village chief and the county magistrate, so that everyone could enjoy the food.

The yamen runners were also surprised by this way of eating! "Brother, I have never seen such a way of eating in my life!"

An hour later, everyone was full and ready to go to the village chief's field to dig potatoes.

Two hours later, the village chief's potatoes were also dug up! The village chief's two acres of potatoes yielded 7,360 kilograms and 7,580 kilograms per acre respectively!

County Magistrate Shen said, "Uncle Village Chief, sell both your house and Qing's to me!"

"Uncle Shen, you have to leave us some potato seeds, or leave us the leftovers!"

"OK,"

"Grandpa Village Chief, prepare the land immediately after the potatoes are harvested and plant the late-season potatoes. They will be ready for harvest in September or October!"

"Okay, I'll listen to Qingbao!"

"Qing girl, I'll leave the change for you. It's 13,000 catties, five cents a catty, a total of 65 taels of silver!" County Magistrate Shen gave the silver to Su Qing!

"Uncle Village Chief, I'll give you the seeds after deducting the remainder from your family's harvest. I collected 14,000 jin (approximately 100 kg) of grain, and at five cents a jin (approximately 100 kg), I'll give you 70 taels of silver! Take this!"

"Okay, thank you!" The village chief took the silver tremblingly, and was so excited that he wanted to kowtow to the county magistrate again! But the county magistrate stopped him! "Uncle village chief, there's no need to be so polite. I want to thank you!"

"Qing girl, wait a few days for your grandfather's potatoes. I will report to His Majesty the Emperor and he will definitely send the Minister of Agriculture down. We can dig them together when the time comes!"

"Okay, Uncle Shen! But not for too long, or the potatoes will rot in the ground!"

"I'll do it as soon as possible, it should only take a few days!"

"that line"

"Qing girl, then I will go back to the county government office!"

After County Magistrate Shen finished speaking, he got on the carriage and drove the potatoes back to the county government office!
