The husband is a love brain

When the spring plowing in Shitai Village was finished before March, the Zhao family's remaining two acres of land were still there.

The villagers heard from the old man Zhao that Zhao Shutong was useful for taking the two acres of uncultivated land, but there was no movement for a long time. Those who had a little leisure were a little curious about what Zhao Shutong wanted to do.Although most people think that Zhao Shutong is useless and has no great prospects, but he is currently the only recruiter in Shitai Village, and his every move attracts attention.

Old man Zhao was afraid that Zhao Shutong would miss the farming season, so he came to ask Zhao Shutong twice.

Zhao Shutong had no choice but to tell the old man Zhao that he wanted to plant a rare thing.

Now that Zhao Shutong brought back the rare stuff, the old man Zhao opened the basket curiously, "Son, this is what you want to plant, it looks like a child's arm, your father and I have never seen anything that can be planted." live?"

The old man Zhao's description is very vivid, this kind of short, fat and short and fat can occasionally see the existence of a few knots, isn't it just like the chubby arms of a little doll.

"Father, this is called sweet potato." Zhao Shutong explained, "Things from foreign countries, they can grow them in poor mountains and rivers. Our land is all fertile land, and it will definitely be able to grow it."

"Can we eat the food from this country? Is it poisonous?" Old man Zhao was anxious, fearing that Zhao Shutong would be deceived by those cunning foreigners because he didn't understand farming.

"Father, sweet potatoes cannot be poisonous. The foreigner ate it in front of me, and I also tasted it. It was sweet and delicious. Moreover, the foreigner said that the yield of sweet potatoes is very large. One mu of land can If we can grow two to three thousand catties of sweet potatoes, we will not be afraid of droughts and floods in the future, and we will have more chances to survive." Zhao Shutong said.

When the old man Zhao heard that two to three thousand catties of sweet potatoes were grown per mu, he no longer heard what Zhao Shutong said.

Old man Zhao was a little surprised at first, but then he became deeply suspicious.

He had never heard of Fanbang’s crops yielding thousands of catties per mu. In previous years, wheat, rice and sorghum were planted. When the harvest was the best, one mu of land harvested more than 300 catties and less than [-] catties of grain. Let's say it can grow three thousand catties of grain.Old man Zhao's first reaction was disbelief, and the second reaction was that his stupid son went to the capital and was deceived.

"Son, you have been deceived. Dad has planted the land for so many years, and the harvest has never been four hundred catties at the best time. These sweet potatoes are so precious, and one mu of land can produce three thousand catties ?These foreigners, who bully you who don’t know anything about farming, where did you buy the seeds and how much did you spend? Dad will take you back now. There is still time for us to go now, and people will not be able to find them if it is too late We're here." Old man Zhao said anxiously.

Seeing that old man Zhao was so excited, Zhao Shutong quickly stopped him.

"Father, please calm down first, I believe that I am not deceived, sweet potatoes can really grow three thousand catties per mu, and I will know when they are planted." Zhao Shutong said.New things are always difficult to be accepted, Zhao Shutong understands old man Zhao's suspicion.

Old man Zhao still didn't believe it.

He has been farming the land for so many years and has never heard of such a thing.

The fact that three thousand gold grains are grown in one mu of land is known to be false even by children, but the son just believed it, and left two mu of land to grow these sweet potatoes.Old man Zhao was worried, and wanted to persuade Zhao Shutong, but Zhao Shutong was even more stubborn than him and refused to listen.

"Father, this sweet potato grows very fast. Whether it is true that the yield of three thousand catties per mu is real or not, we will find out in two months." Zhao Shutong said, the only advantage of these mutated sweet potatoes is that they grow too much. It's about to grow big.

"This fast-growing seedling is only concerned about growing up, so it will still think about the scion." Old man Zhao said angrily.

"Father, just wait and see. These sweet potatoes are very delicious. I'll cook two for you to try."

"Let's forget it. I can't afford the expensive things that produce three thousand per mu. Let's keep them as seeds." Old man Zhao sighed authentically.

Although the old man Zhao did not believe that the sweet potato that looked like a child's arm was as miraculous as Zhao Shutong said, but the spring planting time for the two acres of land had already passed, and Zhao Shutong bought the sweet potato seeds back, and he was still determined. If he wants to plant, old man Zhao can only help him.

If only two acres of land are planted, not many people are needed.After discussing with Zhao Gui, the old man Zhao decided to hire a man from Zhao Gui’s family to help. Upon seeing this, Zhao Shutong proposed to contract the early planting work of the two acres of sweet potatoes to them at a price of two taels of silver, instead of being alone for a day. How much money to calculate.Zhao Gui's grandfather and the others had no doubts. They spent a few days helping to plant two acres of land and could get two taels of silver as wages.

Zhao Shutong first asked the Zhao family to open ridges and furrows on the land. When he was producing food in his previous life, he followed some people to study how to realize the planting of mutated plants. He knew the habits and planting methods of some pre-apocalyptic crops. The method seeds can make their rhizomes grow huge, which is beneficial to increase the yield of both.

Zhao Shutong took old man Zhao and Zhao Gui to grow sweet potato seedlings.

Zhao Shutong found a few large basins with shallow mouths, put an appropriate amount of water in them, and then put the returned sweet potatoes into them, and placed them in a ventilated place.

These seeds produced by life abilities are all full of vitality.

In order to speed up the time, Zhao Shutong secretly imported a lot of abilities when no one was paying attention, and sprouts sprouted the next morning, and the tender green sprouts took up all the space in the pot up.

By the next day, it has grown almost an inch high and can be transplanted.

Zhao Shutong asked Zhao Gui's family members to cut off the sweet potato seedlings, and then planted them in the ground.The difference between raising sweet potato seedlings and rice seedlings is not too big, which can be understood by the old man Zhao and Zhao Gui's family who came to help.Seeing that Zhao Shutong instructed them to do everything in an orderly manner these two days, the old man Zhao thought it was true that the sweet potatoes could be grown, but he didn't know how the yield would be.

The old man Zhao did not tell others that his son wanted to grow grain with a yield of [-] catties per mu, so as not to be laughed at when he could not grow it. try.

Zhao Shutong didn't intend to explain to others either.

After staying in the last days for a long time, he still likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to make a fortune silently.

Moreover, there are many people in the village, so a few words of ridicule are nothing. If the news spreads and attracts the attention of some interested people, it will not be worth the loss.

On the day he went to send flowers to Pei Qi, when he was separated from Qianhe and was walking in the market, he heard that the emperor had been angry several times because of the drought in the northwest, and he had scolded some adults, not even his future father-in-law, Pei Shilang. spared.Even if there is a [-]% chance that the high-yielding seeds will be true, it might attract a pack of wolves.

After three or four days of busy work, Zhao Shutong finally hurriedly led people to plant all the sweet potatoes.

It happened that the next day was the day to go to Suihan Temple.
