So Lu Ziqian directed everyone to weigh each basket again.
After each basket was weighed, Lu Ziqian and the Crown Prince recorded the weight in their respective notebooks.
Let's double-check it at the end to avoid making mistakes.
But the final result was still 2530 jin!
"This...this is divine food!"
"Such high productivity!"
Now the two little princesses understood why everyone looked so shocked—it was because there was just too much.
They had never farmed or participated in politics, so they didn't know what more than 2,000 catties of half an acre meant, which is why they didn't understand.
"Cousin, is this a lot?"
What is the normal grain yield?
"The yield of rice is around 300 jin per mu."
"The yield of wheat is around 150 jin per mu."
"The yield of millet per mu is around 120 jin."
Hearing Lu Ziqian's words, the two little princesses finally understood what it meant to have more than 2,000 catties of land in half an acre.
This means that people will no longer have to go hungry!
This is fantastic news!
Although they had never gone hungry, they often heard their mother say that their mother and uncle often went hungry when they were young.
During famine years, people can starve to death, and some even resort to cannibalism!
The prince stared at the mountain of potatoes, his emotions unable to settle for a long time.
He finally understood why his cousin-in-law had called him over to dig potatoes today.
It's not that potatoes are so delicious, nor is it about letting him experience life; it's about letting him witness firsthand how high the yield of potatoes is.
It also serves as a ladder for him to ascend to the throne.
In the hearts of the people, whoever can feed them is a wise ruler; this is an eternal truth.
Even if the third prince is favored, he only has the favor of his father.
If I have the support of millions of people, why should I be afraid of not being able to compete with my third brother?
An'an and Momo couldn't understand whether it was high-yield or not; all they knew was that digging for vegetables was really fun.
You shovel, I shovel, and we both end up as mud dolls!
"Wow, it smells so good!"
"What delicious food did my cousin-in-law make?" The two little princesses were drooling as they smelled the irresistible aroma wafting from the kitchen.
The others weren't much better off, after all, digging potatoes is hard physical work.
I've been working all morning and I'm starving.
The two little babies sniffed the air, put down the shovel, and ran to the front yard.
"Eat more, eat more!"
As soon as Su Yujiao came out of the kitchen, she saw two adorable little children running towards her with their short legs.
"Mommy, I'm hungry! I want to eat!"
The little guy spoke unclearly and patted his chubby little belly with his little hand.
Su Yujiao said with a loving expression, "Let Aunt Xiaotao take you to wash your hands."
"You can only eat meat if it's washed clean."
"Auntie, wash your hands."
The two little princesses ran over too: "Sister-in-law, it smells so good! What did you make today?"
"A potato feast? We already told you that."
"Didn't they say potatoes don't taste good? Why do they smell so good?"
Su Yujiao smiled and said, "Who said potatoes aren't tasty?"
"My cousin-in-law said it's only slightly better than tree bark."
"Pfft... I said potato leaves are better than tree bark, but I didn't mention potatoes."
"You'll know once you try it."
"Go wash your hands, the food is ready."
"Uh-huh."
During the meal, exclamations of surprise echoed from the table: "Wow, this chicken stew with potatoes is so delicious! It's the most fragrant chicken I've ever eaten."
"I like fries with dipping sauce, it's sweet and sour."
"These spicy potato chips are also delicious, crispy and crunchy."
"Hot and sour shredded potatoes are the best with rice."
"Mother will definitely like this candied potato. She loves sweets the most."
"These potatoes are simply divine food, both delicious and highly productive. I thought they wouldn't taste good at all."
The crown prince was also engrossed in eating, but he silently retracted his earlier thought.
He actually wanted to use this delicious divine food as relief food during a famine.
This is such a waste!
After the praise, the dinner table became unusually quiet, with everyone engrossed in their food, as if saying a word would mean eating less.
Finally, they even used the broth from the stewed chicken and potatoes to mix with rice, leaving the plate spotless, as if it had just been washed.
You shouldn't say "plate," you should say "large mixing basin"!
After eating and drinking their fill, the Crown Prince and Princess let out a satisfied burp, saying that they should come to their cousin's house more often, as there would be surprises every time they came.
My cousin's house is so nice; even the outhouse smells good.
The ceramic floor tiles were so clean and smooth that they reflected your image.
Such a pristine white bathtub can automatically fill with water; a bath must be incredibly comfortable.
Waaaaah, they don't want to go back to the palace!
I really want to stay at my cousin's house permanently!
"Sister-in-law, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
"..."
The Crown Prince was somewhat embarrassed. His two younger sisters were really shameless, eating from one meal to the next without even showing any courtesy.
"Ahem... Yinyin, don't be rude."
"Your cousin-in-law has her own things to do; she's not your cook."
Chu Qingyin blushed after being tamed by the Crown Prince and apologized to Su Yujiao in embarrassment.
"Hot pot for dinner is perfect when it's cold."
"Wow, it sounds delicious."
The two little princesses looked at the crown prince expectantly, hoping he would stay for dinner.
The prince was also very curious about hot pot, and he also wanted to ask more about potatoes.
There were so many people just now, everyone was busy eating, and I didn't have time to ask.
Therefore, the crown prince agreed to stay.
"Sister-in-law, I want to ask about potatoes."
Su Yujiao pulled a book out of her sleeve; it was a handwritten copy of potato planting methods and precautions.
"Your Highness, please read it once first. If you have any questions after reading it, then ask."
"I'll put the children to take a nap first."
"Okay, thank you, cousin-in-law."
Su Yujiao left with her two children.
"Princess, would you like to come along? I have something nice to show you."
"OK."
The two little princesses were very excited; if their cousin-in-law said something was good, then it must be good.
What is this?
"Pepper spray, spray it into the enemy's eyes, and they will immediately feel unbearable pain and lose the ability to move."
"This is a stun gun, it's very powerful..."
“You should also carry this sandalwood beaded string with you. Each bead contains a pill with a different effect. This one is…”
"This dagger is foldable, making it easy to carry around."
"This protective vest is impervious to knives and bullets, waterproof and fireproof..."
"A man's most vulnerable spot is his genitals. If he is held hostage by a criminal, kicking and stomping on that area is the best course of action, ideally uprooting it completely..."
The two little princesses blushed and asked, "Sister-in-law, why...why are you saying all this?"
"Are we supposed to carry these things with us at all times?"
“We have guards protecting us when we leave the palace, so we don’t need these things.”
"Assassins cannot infiltrate the palace unless the palace is left unattended."
The two little princesses were clearly not interested in these self-defense items; they thought their cousin-in-law would take them to see pretty clothes and jewelry.
For example, their sixth cousin's beautiful wedding dress was something they all envied.
