Zhuqiu was standing in the yard of a farmer, looking at the piles of sweet potatoes, laughing and crying.

He was a little miscalculated and did not consider the storage problems of these sweet potatoes.

With so many sweet potatoes, I will definitely not finish them.

You should know that more than 1,500 mu of acres, more than 4,000 kilograms per mu, totaling more than 6 million kilograms, which are distributed to more than 100 farmers, with at least 50,000 or 60,000 kilograms per family!

A family of two or three, four or five, even if they try hard, they can’t finish it in a year!

The temperature is low now, and it’s nothing, it’s fine. It’s okay to keep it for a month or two. Once spring starts and the temperature is high, the sweet potatoes will immediately start to rot.

What to do?

Of course, it’s sold to make money!

If you want to sell these sweet potatoes, it is best to process them. After all, it is basically difficult to sell so many sweet potatoes in one or two months. If they are not sold out, they will still rot.

Besides, the appearance and taste of raw sweet potatoes cannot be sold at a high price. After processing, the value will be different.

As for the processing methods of sweet potatoes, there are many.

For example, roasted sweet potatoes.

This is not very desirable under the current conditions, because roasted sweet potatoes cannot be stored for long, and people need to be sent to process and sell them on the spot. More than 6 million kilograms will be sold out in two months. It is estimated that there are not enough staff in the current market and they have to hire people. The labor cost is not cost-effective.

Also, it is made into sweet potato chips.

This is not very desirable, because it is too troublesome to process sweet potato chips. You need to cook the sweet potatoes first, scrape them into thin slices with a mold, and spread them out to dry. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and takes up a lot of space.

In the end, Zhuqiushi decided to process it into sweet potato fries, which is the kind of sweet potato fries that are as thick as fingers and golden as golden.

This thing is much more convenient to process. If you don’t have to hurry, peel and steam the sweet potatoes, cut them into strips and let them dry in the sun for a few days. If you are anxious, steam them and cut them into strips and roast them directly over the fire. It will be almost done in one day.

After processing it into sweet potato fries, you don’t have to worry about rotten things. If you want to store the stuff for five or six months, it won’t be a problem.

This steamer used to process sweet potato fries is not necessary to consider, because it has equipped every farmer with steamer, and it is a kind of layer, so it is not a problem to steam hundreds of pounds in a pot.

However, each restaurant has 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, which is a bit time-consuming to dry, and it depends on the weather. It is impossible to dry them on rainy and snowy days, so it is best to roast them on fire.

So, how can we use the existing conditions to make something that can bake sweet chips in large quantities?

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhe simply entered the farmer's home and started a field investigation.

The farmer's house is similar to that of the craftsman's house, with three rooms, one lobby in the middle, two wing rooms on the left and right, and all of them are earthen walls, so there is no decoration.

However, the farmer's house has made something that the craftsman has no.

This thing is actually very common in the countryside. It is to poke four holes at about eight feet high on the wall, pass two thick trunks through the hole, form a rack with two horizontal bars, and then use the heat generated by the stove fire below to dry the fire.

Zhu Qizhu looked up at the firewood rack, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

Very good, that's it.

He pointed at the air and said to Sun Hongliang beside him: "You can do this thing, right?"

This thing is something that is personal!

Sun Hongliang nodded without hesitation and said, "Prince, I will do it."

Zhu Qizhuo nodded slightly and then ordered: "You can arrange this kind of shelf is built in the lobby of every farmer. It is full of all the shelves, leaving only one person's openings. Then, lay a layer of firewood and a layer of straw. By the way, a ladder should be installed at the openings to facilitate the up and down."

this!

It's a bit difficult.

However, it's just a little hard work and not much time.

Sun Hongliang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, prince, let's make arrangements now."

This thing is indeed not very time-consuming. Sun Hongliang has only been busy with people for three days, and the shelves at more than 100 farmers' homes have basically been prepared.

However, at this time, we cannot start processing sweet potatoes because the time for harvesting potatoes is up again.

Originally, the growth cycle of potatoes is about ten days shorter than sweet potatoes. Even if they are planted a little later than sweet potatoes, there is no problem to harvest the potatoes after harvesting the sweet potatoes.

However, the growth habits of the cube root system of potatoes are exactly the opposite of the cube root system of sweet potatoes. The cube root system of sweet potatoes will stop swelling if the ground temperature is below 20 degrees, while the ground temperature is below 20 degrees, and the swelling if the ground temperature is below 20 degrees.

Of course, the ground temperature should not be too low. If it is less than ten degrees, the lumpy root system of the potato will stop swelling.

Therefore, after collecting the sweet potatoes, Zhuqiu did not immediately order people to collect the potatoes.

He deliberately let the lumpy root system of potatoes grow for a while after about ten days. It was not until the temperature dropped several degrees during the day that he brought Zhao Guodong, Sun Hongliang and others to the potato field.

At this moment, the leaves on the potato plants tend to be yellow, and the blocky root system below must have stopped growing. You don’t have to think about it and dig it out directly.

Zhu Qizhe just squatted down and looked at it for a moment, then stood up and instructed: "Guodong, let them start collecting. The method is similar to collecting sweet potatoes. However, there may be more potatoes than sweet potatoes. Let them pay attention when loosening the soil, try to stay away from the potato plants, and don't just dig the potatoes below."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guodong nodded, explained to Sun Hongliang and Liu Zhonghe, and then organized the farmers to excavate.

The farmers couldn't help but exclaim again.

What a guy, so big!

The sweet potato with a fist is amazing enough. This potato is much bigger than the fist, the largest, even bigger than both fists.

This potato actually looks crazy than sweet potatoes!

In fact, some of these farmers have planted potatoes, but the potatoes they planted are basically smaller than sweet potatoes, and they can be as big as eggs. That's pretty good.

There is no way, they will not cultivate or improve seedlings at all. If they catch a meal, they will definitely not work.

Amid a burst of exclamations, large bamboo baskets were slowly filled.

This time, they brought all two large bamboo baskets from their homes, so naturally they didn't have to go back and pick them up.

However, everyone was a little stunned as they dug.

Because, on each piece of land, more than 40 large bamboo baskets are filled with them, but they have not been dug up yet!

How many kilograms of potatoes does this acre of land produce?

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhe waved directly: "Guodong, go and weigh it. Just let them keep a few people and continue digging, but there are not many."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guodong hurriedly greeted Sun Chengyan, and quickly came to the nearest piece of land with a scale, account book, and abacus. Then he directed several farmers to form one by one.

"One Hundred and Thirty-six pounds."

"One hundred and twenty-eight pounds."

"One Hundred and Thirty-Three Thousands."

......

Each basket is about 130 kilograms, and more than 40 baskets are full, and they can't hold it. They even poured out a few baskets and filled the rest before weighing them.

How many baskets are there in total?

Sun Chengyan finished the calculation and couldn't help but be shocked and said in shock: "Prince, there are 6,115 kilograms in total!"

"Buzz"

Another surprise scream came from the fields.

Although everyone had already expected that the per mu of potatoes would be higher than that of sweet potatoes, they did not expect that it would be so much higher.

One acre of land, more than 6,100 kilograms, it’s crazy, it’s crazy!

At this time, Zhu Qizhu's face was still calm and there was no expression of surprise at all.

When he ordered the seeds, it was the season for potatoes to sow, and the climate here was quite suitable for potato growth. In addition, he improved the seedlings twice, and it was not surprising that 6,000 kilograms per acre.

If you choose the preferred type and improve it a few times, it will not be a problem!

You know, he saw related articles when he was studying, potatoes, the most exaggerated yield is more than 20,000 kilograms per mu!

Of course, that is in a place that is particularly suitable for planting potatoes, and it is also the seedlings with the highest yield after countless improvements.
