Chapter 4592: Return to Qing Dynasty 59
The Fourth Master also looked at it with golden eyes: "I'm afraid the yield of these potatoes is not lower than that of normal sowing. It looks like it weighs over a thousand kilograms. Is it possible to plant it again? In the south, two crops are harvested every year. I didn't expect that we in the north can do it as well.
.”
The old man said: "One thousand catties, how can I get it now? The harvest hasn't started yet."
Emperor Kangxi actually didn't know how the potatoes were harvested, and most of the officials who came here didn't know. They just thought it was enough to just pull the vines.
Lao Shi clapped his hands, and several cows came. Behind the cow was pulling a strange iron pear. When the cow was pulled over, the soil was turned out, and the potatoes were automatically divided into two sides for the two people behind to pick.
There are also people carrying baskets. These are all well-drilled, generous, neat, and beautiful. They are not like those who normally harvest in the fields, which will be very messy.
This is a rough pull, followed by someone who will turn it carefully, and you can turn out a lot of scattered small potatoes.
Three acres of land were completed in less than an hour.
As time went by, Lao Shi was afraid that Emperor Kangxi and these pampered people would become popular.
But in fact, Emperor Kangxi's eyes were straightened.
How to say it.
Nowadays, the main crops are wheat and rice, both of which have one characteristic: low yield.
Generally speaking, it is a good harvest year if an acre of land can produce 300 kilograms. The harvest must be peeled and finely ground. In fact, a yield of 200 kilograms is pretty good.
Sometimes the harvest is not good, and it is common for one acre of land to yield only about 100 jins. If the land is not fertile, it is possible to harvest 80 jins.
From three acres of land, one thousand kilograms can be grown, which is a big deal.
But there is no need to weigh these potatoes. Looking at the baskets picked out, they are definitely not worth one thousand kilograms.
Just after pulling out the seedlings, the scattered weight was one thousand kilograms. When the other baskets were weighed, two thousand kilograms, three thousand kilograms, and four thousand kilograms were all unstoppable. When the final weighing reached five thousand kilograms, Emperor Kangxi sat down.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came down to see for myself, and even pulled it out with my own hands. I saw that there were still many small potatoes in the field that had not been picked out.
One acre of land can weigh one thousand kilograms to two thousand kilograms. What is this concept?
This means that if you plant potatoes, one acre can support ten acres.
Although it is a coarse grain, it is still full if you can't bear it. In this era, people starve to death all year round, so I can eat it, and potatoes are much finer than chaff and tofu.
Over there, the stove is set up, and you can eat all kinds of fresh potatoes.
Steamed potatoes, boiled potatoes, roasted potatoes, fried small potatoes, stewed potatoes with beef, chicken, and pork, as well as potato flour, mashed potatoes...
Because they are all fresh and come with meat, oil, and various seasonings, the potatoes taste amazingly delicious.
Emperor Kangxi nodded frequently while eating, and the officials also had tears in their eyes. After all, they used to follow the emperor to watch the harvest, and they ate something similar to sweet rice. Although it was not unpalatable, the rough big steamed buns and wowotou from the countryside were...
I can't swallow it when I look at it, and I have to pretend to be thirteen in front of the emperor. It's just ridiculous.
Ten Baylor is better.
Lao Shi uses modern recipes to fully tell everyone that potatoes are different from whole grains such as sorghum. They taste good, are thin and soft, and have a first-class texture.
These are harvested potatoes.
In the end, three acres of land weighed 6,784 jins, but there should still be some in the field, so it was estimated to be 7,000 jins, and one acre of land weighed about 2,300 jins.
What is the yield?
Amazing.
