After the locust disaster, my fairy reincarnation identity was exposed

Chapter 59: Potatoes with a terrifying yield per acre

Mr. Xiang's face was stern. In one night, most of the potato leaves turned yellow. This was a big deal.

They are the only family now. If there are other families in two days, it will be terrible. This matter must be investigated clearly. This is all food that needs to be stored during the severe drought and cold.

The two of them hurried to the fields. The villagers who had received the news had already gone to the fields to take a look. When they saw the yellowing leaves, they were talking to each other.

Mr. Xiang also came. He stood in the field, picked off a potato leaf, smelled it, put it in his mouth and chewed it. Finally, he frowned and said, "No problem, why is it yellow?"

When he was about to dig out the potatoes and take a look, Mr. Xiang came. He looked at the potato leaves that were more than half yellow and felt so distressed that they were bleeding. He picked off a leaf and put it in his mouth to chew.

Xiang Lao saw that he had finished chewing before he said, "Everything is normal, right?"

Mr. Xiang nodded solemnly: "Yes, it tastes normal, without insect eyes, but the leaves are half yellow, as if they are overripe."

"Xin Song, dig up a potato plant and take a look."

Eating the potato leaves on the surface doesn't mean anything, you have to look at what happened to the potatoes in the ground.

The onlookers sighed: "So many acres of potatoes turned yellow overnight."

"Yes, I passed by here yesterday when I went home, and I said that the potatoes grown in the Li Zheng family are the best. I didn't expect this to happen."

"Actually, there is something I have always wanted to say. Haven't you noticed that the potato leaves in Li Zheng's family are a bit taller than those in our field?"

"What do you mean by this? Do you mean that Xinsong and Xinrong took good care of them? Or did you mean that they raised all the potatoes?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is all the family's food. How can you raise the potatoes?"

"Then what do you think caused these leaves to turn yellow so much overnight?"

"If I knew, I would be honest."

In their eyes, the county magistrate is the eldest, and the second eldest is Li Zheng. Being Li Zheng is the most important thing to show off.

If they were more than 20 years younger, they could brag about being the number one pick in the future.

Xiang Xinsong dug out a potato plant, looked at the potato fruit under the cane, his eyebrows jumped, he knocked the soil on the potato and handed it to his grandfather.

Mr. Xiang looked at the potato plant with surprise in his eyes. He raised his hand and pulled off a potato to look at it.

Xiang Lao went over to look at the potatoes with him, confused and surprised: "Your potato... looks bigger than the usual potatoes. It seems to be ripe?"

Mr. Xiang shook his head: "I don't know."

This thing was so weird, he asked Xiang Xinsong to dig out another potato plant.

If the potatoes dug out before were as big as a pick, then the potatoes dug out now were as big as an adult woman's fist.

Mr. Xiang looked at these two bunches of potatoes and fell into deep thought.

Mr. Xiang stared at the two potatoes in his hand and fell into deep thought.

When the chattering crowd saw such a big potato, they exclaimed: "What a big potato!"

Everyone's curiosity turned into surprise. After thinking deeply, Mr. Xiang asked the brothers Xiang Xinsong to dig out a few more potato plants.

Without exception, the potatoes dug out were all larger than the potatoes they had seen before.

The smallest one is as big as an egg, and the largest one is as big as an adult's hand.

In their memory, potatoes were only as big as duck eggs, but now they are as big as this. This is incredible.

Everyone looked at the potatoes that were bigger than usual, and all the chatter and speculation stopped, and they collectively fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Xiang said to Brother Xiang Xinsong, "Take them all."

Mr. Xiang also said: "The leaves are yellow, which means the potatoes are overripe. So harvest them all."

Although the potatoes buried in the ground will not rot immediately, but since they are ripe, they should be collected. If they are not collected, wouldn’t they be occupying the land?

The villagers who were watching the excitement were surprised by what Mr. Xiang said, and they all helped to harvest. Of course, they were also curious about the yield of these large potatoes per acre.

The higher the yield per acre, the more opportunities there are to have a full stomach. This is every farmer’s dream.

Mr. Xiang looked at the villagers helping to collect potatoes and asked Xiang Xinrong to go home and bring him a scale, paper and pen. He wanted to record the yield per mu.

Xiang Xinrong left quickly and came back quickly: "Grandpa, grandma asked me what happened just now. I told her that the potatoes in the field were about to be harvested, and she said to wait and see."

Mr. Xiang agreed and ignored it. He and Mr. Xiang led several villagers to start weighing the yield per mu.

After receiving the news, the villagers also came to see the big potatoes. It was the first time they saw such a big potato. Everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Just like this, Xiang Ci followed Mrs. Yu to the field and looked at the people pulling out potatoes in full swing. After understanding it, she squatted in front of the potatoes that were larger than her palms and pointed her fingers.

These potatoes grew so big and matured early, so she came here every night to water the spiritual spring water.

Hehe, so you can plant another wave of potatoes, right?

I'm so happy, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Xiang Ci, who lowered his head and smiled happily, looked up like a good girl who didn't know anything.

"Three thousand nine hundred pounds!"

An exclamation suddenly sounded, followed by repeated denials: "Impossible, re-weighing, did you also pull potatoes from another acre of land?"

"That is, one acre of land can weigh at most two thousand catties. It cannot be four thousand catties. This is the total amount of two acres of land."

"Nonsense, this is one acre of land. I've been staring at it from the front. How come it's two acres of land in total?"

"I won't tell you, I'll look at the size of the other acre of land."

More and more villagers were watching the excitement, and Xiang Lao had to maintain order to avoid further confusion in the acreage.

Xiang Ci followed the villagers back, watched them busy, listened to their quarrels, and then... watched them remain silent.

One person's potato yield per mu may be wrong, but two people's yield per mu are both wrong?

"Four thousand one hundred pounds!"

"My acre weighs 3,800 kilograms!"

The amount of potatoes per acre was weighed out and written down on paper. This was a fact. It was weighed under everyone's eyes and could not be faked.

You have to believe it even if you don’t believe it. It’s not tolerated that you don’t believe it.

The villagers were in an uproar: "So many!"

"Who owns the potato seeds in the Li Zheng family?"

"Li Zheng's own family."

"Why do I remember that last year the main family's potatoes were the same as ours? How come this year's potatoes not only matured one month earlier, but also doubled the yield per acre."

"I don't know."

"The output of one acre is doubled. There are ten acres of land here. How much more!"

"Even if it's a low sale, you can still get a lot of money."

"How can such a good potato be sold at such a low price? It has to be sold at a high price. Look at how big this head is, how strange and adorable it is."

The villagers were thinking about how to sell, but Mr. Xiang and Mr. Xiang were thinking about another thing.
