Chapter 457 Everyone was dumbfounded

Seeing Dadai pulling potatoes so savagely, the clan leader and others were shocked.

Everyone felt heartbroken when they saw it. What if this was ruined?

The patriarch couldn't help but stepped forward, "King Goose, it's up to us to dig potatoes. You're doing big things, so just supervise us at the same time."

Don't keep talking like this.

Daidai felt that what the old man said was right. He was the goose king and didn't need to do such menial work.

So he held his head high and called the clan leader a few times, as if he recognized his words, then took a few steps back and returned to Shi Qingluo.

Again, he looked like he was asking for credit.

"The goose is really amazing. He actually found so many potatoes." Shi Qingluo immediately took out a handful of goose food from his purse and fed it to it.

The villagers and the spies mixed in the crowd had heard before that Dadai was very smart and could understand human speech.

But some people still half-believe that it can basically understand human speech.

Now seeing its response to the patriarch, everyone can see that it really understands.

This also surprised everyone again.

The people in the county government puffed up their chests proudly. They were proud that King Goose belonged to their wife.

Shi Qingluo took the hoe from a government servant, stepped forward and dug out a nest of potatoes.

"One plant can really grow a lot."

Then Shi Qingluo gave another demonstration, "Everyone helps dig out the potatoes, just like me."

The people who came from the county government were all eager to try and wanted to go dig now.

The clan leader and others twitched their lips when they saw it. What were these people thinking? What if they were allowed to dig in and damage it?

So the clan leader immediately led the villagers forward and said, "Leave it to us."

"We are all farmers. We are good at digging. We must be careful not to damage the potatoes."

"That's right, otherwise it would be a pity if it was damaged."

Hearing what they said, the county government officials felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.

That's right, they don't usually dig the ground, so it won't work if they dig it bad.

So they could only reluctantly leave this important job to the clan leader and villagers.

The clan leader had asked someone to carry a hoe before, and he put it to use now.

He took the lead and started digging potatoes according to Shi Qing's instructions.

Shi Qingluo was also helping, "Just put the dug potatoes directly into the load. After digging them all in a while, pick them up and weigh how many kilograms they weigh."

Watching her just take down the potatoes and put them into the load alone, the villagers also followed suit.

Someone pointed to the potato vines thrown aside and asked, "Madam, are these edible?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "You can take this back to feed the pigs."

When the villagers heard this, they were very happy and tied up the potato vines, ready to take them back to the village pigs.

There is nearly an acre of potatoes in this area.

Potatoes per acre of land generally have a yield of 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms per mu. With high-quality potato varieties and careful management, the yield per mu can be as high as 8,000 kilograms.

The potatoes in Shiqingluo Space are all excellent varieties that are continuously improved to produce higher yields and better taste.

But she didn't do any special management when planting. She only planted it and poured some spiritual water when it was delivered to the plant that day. So after digging it all, she estimated that there might be about four to five thousand kilograms here.

This is also her intention. After all, people will not have spiritual water to plant in the future. It is not good for the current yield per mu to be too high. It is enough to be close to the actual planting yield.

With so many people digging nearly an acre of land, it didn't take long even if they were extremely careful.

When all was dug out, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"How can there be so many potatoes in such a small amount of land?"

"Oh my god, it looks like it weighs a thousand pounds here."

The burden they brought was simply not enough, and it seemed to be much worse.

The villagers exclaimed one by one, "This is too high-yielding. One acre weighs a thousand pounds. This is unheard of."

Xi Rui was also excited, but not like these villagers, especially since he had seen corn harvesting with his own eyes.

"You are wrong, corn can weigh thousands of pounds per acre."

"But these potatoes seem to be more productive than corn!"

He turned to look at Shi Qingluo and asked uncertainly: "Right, Qingluo?"

Shi Qingluo said with a smile: "Yes, these potatoes are not only more productive than corn, but the yield is doubled."

She added: "Let's transport the potatoes down the mountain first and weigh them to know the approximate yield per mu."

She and Xiao Hanzheng had been to this area of ​​the mountain before and visited it several times. They found that not only was it very remote, there were no wild vegetables, no pheasants and rabbits, and almost no villagers came, so she decided to plant potatoes in this area.

Otherwise, the villagers will definitely wonder why so many potatoes are growing here when it was a barren hill not long ago.

Of course, Shi Qingluo had also thought about it. If he was really discovered, he would leave it to the old immortal master.

As long as the old fairy master is here, any magical thing can go smoothly.

Fortunately, she observed and found that none of the villagers noticed that potatoes had only appeared in recent days.

Then some people carried the potatoes down the mountain first, and half of the people on the Yamen side also followed. They were mainly afraid that people would hide the potatoes.

Soon more empty loads came up to pick out.

On the last trip, Shi Qingluo and others followed everyone down the mountain.

The patriarch's house in the village has a scale, and finally all the potatoes dug out were weighed, and they totaled 4,356 kilograms.

This number completely stunned everyone present.

The clan leader asked in disbelief: "Unexpectedly, there is such a high output?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded, "It should be about the same."

"My master told me in a dream that as long as the potatoes are planted and cared for well, the yield per mu will be about 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms."

"Although potatoes were found on a barren mountain, they are considered a high-yielding grain given to us by God, so it is normal to weigh more than four thousand kilograms."

After hearing what she said, others also agreed.

"That's right, this is the high-yielding food gifted to us by God."

The patriarch couldn't hold it back and took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowing to the other side of the mountain, "Thank you, old god!"

The villagers all knelt down, and even the government officials who followed him couldn't help but kneel down to thank him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shi Qingluo didn't have time to stop him: "..." Master, it seems that you have to carry this big pot.

Wait until everyone's excitement gradually calms down.

Shi Qingluo said to Xiao Hanzheng: "Everyone has worked hard today, why not take out some potatoes and cook them for everyone to taste."

She wanted to let everyone experience it for themselves. Potatoes were indeed edible and tasted good.

When everyone heard this, they felt warm in their hearts. Madam is so kind.

However, since there are hundreds of people here in total, these potatoes have to be saved for planting, so there is not one for each person.

Instead, three people share a potato, mainly to let them taste it.

Everyone held the potatoes and ate them carefully, as if they were eating some delicacy in the world.

"It's delicious. These potatoes are so delicious."

"Yes, I would be satisfied if I could eat potatoes every day."

“I didn’t expect this high-yielding grain to taste so good.”

For the villagers who usually eat glutinous rice, even if it is just boiled potatoes, they feel it is delicious.

The patriarch took small bites of the potatoes in his hand, and suddenly thought of a question.

He asked curiously: "Madam, do you know how to grow these potatoes?"

Shi Qingluo nodded and pointed to the potatoes on the ground, "This can be eaten or used as seed."

"Leave it for a while until the potatoes grow teeth, then cut them into pieces and plant them as seeds."

The clan leader and others' eyes widened, with distressed expressions on their faces, "We actually wasted so many seeds."

The government officials who were enjoying a piece of potato suddenly felt that they couldn't eat it anymore.

Shi Qingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's originally food for food. Since we just discovered it, everyone naturally wants to try it. It's okay to be happy."

"But we can't eat the leftovers anymore, we have to save them all for seeds."
