Chapter 271: A bumper harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes

As soon as Professor Tian returned to the wooden house, Su Tang couldn't wait to take Professor Tian back to her room, and then took Professor Tian back to the laboratory in the space.

"What's wrong?" Professor Tian asked Su Tang.

"Take a look at this." Su Tang pointed at the microscope beside her and asked Professor Tian to take a look himself.

Upon hearing this, Professor Tian washed his hands first and then walked to the microscope to check.

This sight actually shocked Professor Tian so much that he opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Tang, "Where did it come from?"

"The juice of this grass." Su Tang pointed to the glass container beside her, which contained a handful of grass that Su Tang had dug out before.

After Su Tang dug out the grass, she placed it in a glass container. During the days it was placed in the space, Su Tang deliberately did not water the grass.

She wanted to see how strong the survival ability of these grasses was.

Besides, Su Tang felt that since she could enter the space twice, she would definitely be able to enter again later. Even if the grass she dug this time died, she could still dig again next time she entered.

Professor Tian looked at the seemingly ordinary grass in front of him in disbelief, cut a small section with scissors and placed it on another glass slide, and continued to observe under the microscope.

When Professor Tian looked up again, Su Tang told him about how she had inexplicably entered a strange place.

"Is that place the same as this space?" Professor Tian was originally a materialist.

But since the time travel incident happened to him and Su Tang, Professor Tian's thoughts have gradually changed.

"Maybe. I can only stay in a place where one person can stand. There is thick fog in other places, so I dare not try. My space cannot be used there."

"Well, then you can't move around casually. Generally, places with fog are dangerous." Professor Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Did you have any special experience before you entered the foggy place for the first time?"

"No." Su Tang shook her head. She had thought about this too.

The fact that Su Tang can appear in this military space now may be related to her soul traveling across time and space, but nothing special is happening around her now, and she has not encountered any other abnormal things. Logically, there should not be any special opportunities.

"Where is the Southern Xinjiang sign?" Professor Tian suddenly thought of an object.

"This? There's no change. I've also used instruments to test it. The material of this brand is just special. I can't analyze what it is made of. There's nothing special about it." Su Tang said as she had the black brand in her palm that she found in the wooden house that Professor Tian traveled through.

Professor Tian took the sign and looked at it again. He had come into contact with this sign before, but nothing special happened to him.

"How about I leave this sign here for a few days, and you stay here for a few more days too, and we'll observe," said Professor Tian.

"Okay." Su Tang nodded in agreement.

Then Professor Tian took the black card and Su Tang out of the space.

To study that special grass, it is necessary to do it in Su Tang's space laboratory. Now Professor Tian wants to test with Su Tang whether the black brand is the main factor affecting Su Tang, so he can only give up studying the grass leaves temporarily.

That night, Song Mo saw food made of sweet potatoes and potatoes on the table.

After listening to Su Tang telling him the per-acre yield of these two crops, even Song Mo, who had never farmed before, was shocked by the astonishing figures.

"The yield per mu is so high?!" Song Mo has been reading recently and he has already learned about the yield of farmland during the current harvest season.

The yields of sweet potatoes and potatoes reached 8,000 kilograms and 5,000 kilograms per mu!

In this way, even in a year of disaster, no one would starve to death.

In fact, what Song Mo didn't know was that the per-acre yield mentioned by Su Tang was still a conservative number, which was the output without the use of modern industrial fertilizers.

But fortunately, the land in Dahe Village is fertile, so the production can be achieved even without chemical fertilizers.

"Although the yield of potatoes is lower than that of sweet potatoes, they can be eaten in many ways. They can be used in cooking and as a staple food. Look, these dishes are all made of potatoes." Xia Mei pointed to several dishes on the table and introduced them to Song Mo.

Most of the dishes on this table were cooked by her and Aunt Guan.

"Of course, sweet potatoes are also good. They are very sweet when steamed, and can also be ground into powder and made into other kinds of food." Xia Mei continued to praise.

"Let's go to the village after dinner. I guess most families in the village have harvested the sweet potatoes and potatoes they planted. Let's see their yields," said Su Tang.

“If this is promoted in Dayong, no one will go hungry anymore.” Song Mo said, holding the sweet potato in his hand.

He had experienced hunger before and knew what it felt like to be hungry.

Qi Lingheng raised his eyebrows when he heard Song Mo's words. He didn't expect that this child was thinking about people's livelihood at such a young age.

However, Su Tang has not yet handed over the sweet potato and potato seeds to Emperor Jing, and no one knows what Su Tang is thinking.

Seeing that Su Tang didn't respond to him, Song Mo suddenly felt that he might have said something wrong.

Then he lowered his head and began to peel the sweet potato in his hand.

Seeing this, Xia Mei didn't say anything. These seeds were taken out by the princess. Whether to present them to the court was entirely up to the princess. They would not interfere.

After the family finished their meal, Su Tang took Song Mo and the others to the village.

On the way, Su Tang told Song Mo her thoughts, "I know you've been hungry before. If such a high-yield crop is promoted and planted in Dayong and even the whole world, no one will go hungry anymore."

Song Mo listened to Su Tang's words and nodded, "Yeah."

"But have you ever thought about how much profit is involved in such a good crop? Do you want me to hand it over for nothing?"

“Besides, you all grew up in Kyoto, which is not a poor place. Even if you go out to beg on the streets, you can still collect some money from kind people every few days, so you won’t starve.

But won’t you kids still not have enough to eat?

What is the reason, have you ever thought about it? "

Before, Song Mo only thought that children like him would no longer suffer from hunger. After listening to Su Tang's words, he suddenly felt that he was thinking too simply.

It was indeed as Su Tang said, these children did not always return empty-handed, but no matter whether they begged on the streets or stole, they had to hand over the money they got. Anyone who dared to hide money or other valuables would be beaten to a pulp by the adults in the Tzu Chi Institute.

After several intimidations, the children in the Tzu Chi Institute no longer dared to hide money.

"Look, the food is grown by farmers, but which farmer can have enough to eat? Look at the gentlemen in the city, they grow crops, and although they are not extremely wealthy, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing."

Therefore, the reason why some people cannot get enough food is not because there is not enough food, but because all the wealth in this society is concentrated in the hands of a few people, resulting in an unbalanced distribution of resources.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people are lazy and not diligent, so they naturally cannot get enough food.

Su Tang's words made Song Mo silent. He began to think about what Su Tang said until the group walked into the fields and the lively scene in the distance diverted Song Mo's attention again.

"The princess is here!!" Someone saw Su Tang from afar. Ever since they knew that the youngest daughter of the Su family was a princess who had been stranded outside, all the villagers became proud that their village had a princess.

Although no one was very nice to the princess when she was still a country girl, but now the people in the village have never offended the princess, so they just want to have some relationship with the princess, so they are all very excited.

Of course, the county magistrate and the village chief repeatedly told them that the matter of a princess appearing in the village should not be told to outsiders. After all, it was a royal scandal for a princess to be living away from home.

If anyone tells this out and ruins the royal family's reputation, the whole family will be killed.

The women who married into Dahe Village would naturally not speak carelessly for the sake of their own lives and those of their families.

However, the county magistrate did not just threaten them, he also exempted their village from various taxes, even the military service and corvee labor that took place every few years.

Nowadays, the people of Dahe Village no longer have to pay grain tax on the grain they grow, and whatever they harvest belongs to them.

After a round of threats and inducements, the people in the village naturally did not dare to talk nonsense outside, but when they saw Su Tang in the village, everyone still had to say hello to Su Tang, after all, there were no outsiders in the village.

They have such a good life, and they will not leave even if we change their household registration to the county now.

The villagers greeted Su Tang, but due to Su Tang's identity and the large group of people following her, the villagers only dared to greet her from a distance.

"You guys continue with your work. I'm going to go check out the village chief's fields." Su Tang said and waved to the villagers.

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have let my son Dashitou marry her." Seeing Su Tang and his group walking away, a woman sighed as she looked at the receding figures.

"Oh, forget it. If they knew she was a princess, there would be no one in the village who wouldn't want to marry her. What's wrong with being a son-in-law? She's a living Bodhisattva. Even if you worship her every day, she will grant your wishes."

"Yes, the people in our village are probably regretting it so much that their intestines are turning green..."

After the villagers finished speaking, they continued to work with their heads down.

Today, seeing the harvest at the village chief’s house, everyone excitedly started working in their own fields.

Since the beginning of this year, the harvest from their fields is all theirs, and the Zhao family’s valley has also agreed to purchase all the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Everyone wanted to dig it out quickly and exchange it for money in the valley.

Su Tang and his group soon arrived at the village chief's fields.

At this time, the potatoes and sweet potatoes of the village chief's house had been dug out, and the village chief and his family were sorting the dug crops.

"Village Chief Liu."

"Hey, princess, you're back. The field is so dirty. Eldest wife and second wife, please quickly spread the bags of grain here so as not to dirty the princess's dress." The village chief pointed to a dry open space at the edge of the field and shouted to his family.

"Hey." The two daughters-in-law of Village Chief Liu responded and picked up a few empty sacks on the ground and spread them on the open space.

"No need to bother. I just came to see the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes." Su Tang waved her hand, signaling to Village Chief Liu and the others to stop busying themselves.

"This, this is still being weighed, but the harvest is certainly much better than when we grew millet before. Look, we dug out so much from just that one acre of land, hehe..." Seeing his family's harvest this year, Village Chief Liu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Go and help Village Chief Liu calculate the output." After Su Tang said this, the people following her quickly stepped forward to help Village Chief Liu and his family pack up and weigh the produce.

With help, the village chief’s harvest this year was quickly calculated.

Sure enough, the output was almost the same as Su Tang said.

"You can keep these for next year's seeds. I'll have someone send the rest to the valley and have them calculate the money for you." Su Tang said, pointing to the sweet potatoes and potatoes packed on the ground.

"In addition to keeping some for seeds, I also want to keep some for my own chewing."

Before these sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted, Su Tang got some for the village chief to eat and told him some simple ways to eat them.

The village chief had eaten them before, so he dared to grow these in his own fields.

After Su Tang agreed, Village Chief Liu estimated the number of people he wanted to keep, and the rest were sent back to the valley by the people Su Tang brought.

When they arrived at the valley, Zhao Nanxing wrote down the amount and paid cash to Village Chief Liu on the spot.

Holding the huge sum of money, Village Chief Liu and his family were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

This year's income has caught up with that of several previous years.

Moreover, thanks to Su Tang, they will not have to pay taxes on their future income, and the money in their hands will be theirs.

This year, everyone in Dahe Village will have a good New Year.

Carrying the heavy silver in their pockets, Village Chief Liu and his family returned home happily.

Although the crops in the fields have been harvested, it is not too cold now, so we can still grow some seasonal vegetables in the fields, which can also be sold in the city.

Just thinking about it, the village chief's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.

"Village Chief Liu, the Zhao family has really harvested the grain." Seeing the village chief and his family returning happily, the villagers who were still digging potatoes and sweet potatoes asked as they passed by the fields.

"What you said is true. Didn't we agree on this before? Otherwise, I wouldn't have advised you to plant it. Hurry up and dig it up and send it over so you can get cash." Village chief Liu said as he covered his chest, which was heavy with white silver.

"By the way, be careful when digging, try not to break it. If you break it, it will be broken." Village chief Liu thought of what Zhao Nanxing had just said, and felt a little painful again.

His family was the first to dig, but they damaged a lot of them. Although the Zhao family bought the broken ones, they reduced the price.

"Okay, everyone, be careful when harvesting and don't dig it up!" Some villagers immediately told each other.

In the following days, Su Tang and his people stayed in Dahe Village for more than ten days.

These days, the villagers of Dahe Village also harvested sweet potatoes and potatoes and sold them to the Zhao family in the valley.

Su Tang found opportunities to store the harvested sweet potatoes and potatoes into the space.

After all, there is no place more suitable for storing food than Su Tang's space.
