I do research in ancient times

Chapter 9 Save the Elderly Group!

Liu Tie's muscles were not in vain, he pulled out the whole plant with a little effort, and even rolled out a few round potatoes.

The eyes of several old people suddenly widened, looking at these treasures dug out of the soil without blinking.The potatoes in the field were much bigger than the one Ning Fei gave them, and two were enough to feed a strong man like Liu Tie.

"There are more below."

Ning Fei pointed to the ground near the potato seedlings and said.

"One seedling can bear 5-8 fruits. You should turn over the surrounding soil, be careful, and try to keep the skin intact."

He spoke casually, but Qi Qi gasped behind him.

5-8 knots per tree!What kind of fairy food is this!

Everyone looked at the potato field with green eyes.

They still remember the taste of baked potatoes, the soft and delicate taste, even the elderly can swallow it effortlessly, and the feeling of sliding into the stomach makes people feel so comfortable that they want to sigh.

This kind of food, even those aristocratic nobles have never eaten it. This is the food that the gods only bestowed on Mo Zong. With these, everyone will be saved!

God bless Mozong!

Liu Tie naturally also thought of the value of potatoes, he regretted that he had used brute force just now, if he had known it was such a treasure, he would have cherished it very much when he pulled it out, and would not have knocked a little bit of it.

Now hearing Ning Fei say that the skin should be kept intact, Liu Tie's fingers became more and more gentle, almost brushing away the soil layer by layer, and carefully took out fresh potatoes from inside.

Ning Fei counted, and there were fifteen potatoes on one plant, each of which was even in size, about twice the size of ordinary potatoes.

The system should improve the crops, dwarf the surface plants, and strengthen the underground root system. According to this production estimate, the quality of a single plant is also very impressive in his era!

He nodded in satisfaction, and when he raised his eyes, he bumped into a group of old men and women clutching their chests, so distressed that they almost passed out.

Ning Fei: Er... what's going on?

Old man Liu gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he stared fiercely at his grandson's hand digging potatoes.

Seeing Liu Tie bent down to grab another potato seedling, the old man finally couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed forward and yelled at his grandson:

"Stop! Hold back!"

This roar was so full of energy that Liu Tie staggered in fright, and almost fell into the potato field.

He turned his head and said cautiously, "Master?"

"You prodigal boy! Don't pull it up, just dig the soil carefully and you'll be fine!"

Old man Liu hated that iron could not be made into steel.

"My son's head is very stupid! This seedling grows so well, it will die if you pull it out! If you take care of it carefully, it will still bear fruit next year!"

"No! I think the leaves are very tender, and you can eat them as vegetables if you pinch a couple of them."

"Little hairy kids are just unreliable, they spoil all the good things! Alas..."

As a result, several old men and women also began to chatter, denouncing Liu Tie for not living a life.

Liu Tie was embarrassed.

He is an apprentice in the blacksmith's house, and he has a lot of strength. He usually goes to the dining room for meals, and he knows nothing about farming and cooking.

But these potatoes taste so good!It is fragrant and glutinous, with a soft rustle in the mouth, and I can't help but salivate when I think of it!

One plant can bear fifteen large potatoes, but one was pulled out by himself as soon as it came up. Thinking about it, I feel heartbroken!

Holding a pile of potatoes, he fell into deep self-blame, and completely forgot that it was Ning Feiqi who was responsible for pulling the seedlings.Fortunately, the "culprit" was very conscientious, and he opened his mouth to rescue him at the right time:

"You don't have to be so careful, the part on the ground is poisonous, and it was meant to be thrown away."

"Potato seedlings must be dug up when harvesting potatoes. Solanaceae plants are not suitable for continuous cropping, which will easily cause yield reduction and pest damage."

Seeing everyone's blank faces, he had no choice but to add another sentence.

"What I mean is that potatoes cannot be planted continuously in the same field. If the soil is not fertile, it will not grow well in the second year."

Old man Liu was shocked.

"What?! Can't plant it? What about next year!"

"Next year, I can change a piece of land to grow potatoes, and then grow something else on this piece of land."

Ning Fei thought about it, and felt that the small valley where the potato field is located is very suitable for sowing seeds. Not to mention the hidden location, the climate is milder than that at the bottom of the mountain.

Although he does not study agriculture, there is no possibility of a problem with the site selection of the system, and careful management may become a future grain-producing area.

"Generally speaking, those with intact skin are easier to preserve, and the germination rate determines the next year's harvest, so..."

Ning Fei changed the topic, and there was a hint of cunning in her sparkling peach eyes.

He looked at the elderly group beside him, his delicate face was full of worry.

"This job still needs meticulous people to do it."

"Although there are many young men in the sect, it is not enough to have the strength. Alas, manpower is also a problem now."

Hearing what he said, old man Liu immediately patted his chest.

"Don't worry, Jizi, leave this job to us, we are not too old to move, we are more reliable than those hairless boys!"

Liu·The Hairless Boy·Tie: ...I'm not...I don't...

"what……"

Ning Fei showed hesitation.

"Didn't you just say that your body is useless, and the end is approaching?"

Hearing what he said, several old men and women shook their heads quickly.

"No, nothing, nothing!"

"We are all in good health, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live so long!"

"That's right! Who is spreading rumors!"

There was an excitement, and a live performance of pulling potatoes with one hand.I saw him grabbing a clump with his left hand, and he didn't know what ingenuity he used to pull the potato seedlings out of the soil easily, faster than Liu Tie's movements.

"I used to be a farmer, and I have to be ingenious in handling food. Regardless of my age, my skills are much better than that of a boy. This job can't be done by strength alone!"

The old man surnamed Wang smiled, showing sparse yellow teeth, and his face was full of the arrogance of the brick family.

Liu Maotouzi Tie: ...I'm not...I don't.

Ning Fei nodded.

"Well, I will entrust this matter to you all. However, this field is not small, and it would be too hard for you alone. After I go back, I will talk to the three elders to see if I can allocate more people."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome!"

The elderly group discussed it, and the old man Liu spoke on behalf of them.

"There is no need for the Zongmen to transfer people. There are still a few idlers like us in the city, and the manpower is enough. I wondered whether it would be better to dig the potatoes with a small hoe and a claw plow. When we return to the city, let the old Zongto Changing those tools in the warehouse will make it much easier!"

"Qiu Po ​​and the others are capable of seed selection. If Juzi thinks that the warehouses in the city are not good, I will take my grandson to make up for it. I guarantee it will last for another three to two years without any problems. You will teach us how to choose underground warehouses in the spring of next year. Kind of, we old guys will definitely be able to fix it for the waiter!"

"That's fine."

Rather than hitting a snake with a stick.

"Then this matter will be handed over to Mr. Liu, with some assistance. Don't let them work too hard. Farming is about skill, and we leave the physical work to the young people, and make overall arrangements. Solving technical problems depends on the old people's brains. dry goods!"

These words made the few people more excited, wishing they could fly back to Wubao to do a good job and fill up the Zongmen's granary with potatoes.

Liu Tie on the side was stunned.Ever since he could remember, his grandfather had always been taciturn, with a dignified expression because of the burden of life. He had never been so red-faced and proud, and he was 20 years younger.

He looked at Ning Fei, and suddenly felt that this young man who had been stupid for a long time was a miracle. Not only did he lightly relieve the crisis of the sect, but he also brought these old people who had been silent for a long time back to life.

His resentful heart had long since calmed down, replaced by waves of scalding heat that made his eyes sour, and he almost shed tears.

God's will, this is God's will!Ji Ziling chose Ning Fei, it was God who wanted to save Mo Zong!

Ding--

Ning Fei's ear suddenly sounded a crisp sound.

He opened the task panel and found that the side task had become completed.

——Daily Management of Zongmen ([-])

Obtained the approval of three sect disciples (11/3).

Task Status: Completed

Reward: System points x1.It is detected that the host is a newly bound user, and a special reward of surprise roulette lucky draw chance x1.

well.

Ning Fei was very satisfied.

Old men and old ladies no longer beg for death, his goal has been achieved, and now he has completed the side mission, complete.

He nodded, and directed Liu Tie to dig a few more clusters of potatoes, until they couldn't hold any more in their hands, and then embarked on the return journey with a fruitful harvest.
