Chapter 21 Yield of 10,000 kg of sweet potatoes per mu
Chao Chao nodded obediently, "Okay."
Jian Yunsang went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took a look.
In fact, she doesn’t have much food in her refrigerator. She lives alone and has a limited amount of food. Sometimes she even eats out, and when she’s too lazy to cook, she’ll order takeout. Therefore, she doesn’t dare to store too much food in the refrigerator for fear that it will go bad.
Fortunately, we can still prepare breakfast.
She took two eggs, made one egg custard for Chao Chao to eat, and boiled the other one. She also beat some black rice, soybean and millet paste, and cut an apple. Yesterday she gave one to Chao Chao to eat, and the little guy seemed to like it very much. He also said that they called it red fruit, which can be found in the mountains, but it is very small and not that sweet, and a little different from this apple.
As for vegetables, there happened to be a large cabbage.
As for the staple food, Jian Yunsang looked around and found that there was no flour, but there were a few sweet potatoes.
Let's eat these first, there are protein, staple food, vegetables and fruits. She has to buy some fresh vegetables today, and she can cook them for Chao Chao in different ways later.
So Chao Chao just watched as the egg custard was served, the rice porridge was served, the apples cut into rabbit-shaped pieces, two long things, and finally a dish of vegetables.
Of these things, she had only eaten cabbage before.
"Eat, have a simple meal today, and I'll make something else for you tomorrow." Jian Yunsang held her and sat on the chair, handing her the spoon.
This is simple? ?
Chao Chao was completely confused. Did it turn out that breakfast needed to be so good and contain so much food?
Ordinary people under the sky had the same idea. It was already so fancy, and you still want to have a simple meal?
However, some wealthy families did not think the meal was that exquisite and some even took the time to point fingers and criticize it.
"There are quite a few immortal tools in this sky tent, but the food seems to be not much different from ours. I thought there would be some immortal peaches and immortal dew."
"Indeed, yesterday's wontons and chicken porridge were nothing special."
"As for today's dishes, we eat egg custard every day. The rice paste is very fine, the Chinese cabbage is just so-so, and the red fruit is just so-so. But what are those two round and long things? I don't think I've seen them before."
Ordinary people nearby couldn't help rolling their eyes when they heard them say this.
Is it because you have seen that the sky curtain has been hung for a whole day and nothing has happened, so you have become bolder and are now even daring to be picky?
However, he was also curious about what that long round thing was.
At this moment, Chao Chao just picked it up, took a bite, and sipped it. Wow, it tasted a little sweet.
Jian Yunsang had been watching her. She looked pious and happy when she ate the egg custard, but her expression was strange when she ate the sweet potato, as if it was very strange.
"What's wrong? Don't you like eating?" Did Chaochao eat too much before and get hurt?
Thinking of this, Jian Yunsang felt a little annoyed. She should have thought of this earlier, "If I don't like it..."
"I, I like it." Chao Chao said hurriedly, "I just have never eaten it before, so I didn't know it was sweet."
Never...ever eaten it?
That shouldn't be the case. If the family that adopted Chaochao lived in a remote area and were not wealthy, they would probably store more food like sweet potatoes.
But we can't take it for granted. Maybe that place is just not suitable for planting?
"If you like it, I'll buy some more today and you can eat it whenever you want. But one of these will fill you up, and you have a small appetite, so half of it will last you most of the day."
Chao Chao shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, I, I'll just eat this, don't spend so much money, I, I don't need to eat such good food." She didn't want people to think that she was difficult to feed, she could also eat wild vegetables.
Jian Yunsang touched her head and said, "You don't have to spend a lot of money. This is very cheap."
"Very cheap?" Chao Chao felt that she was comforting herself.
"Yes, it's cheaper than eggs, cheaper than apples, cheaper than this bowl of rice porridge, and cheaper than cabbage." Ahem, of course, that's not necessarily the case. It still depends on the quality. There are expensive ones, but that doesn't need to be said.
Chao Chao's eyes widened. She always thought that the things she had never seen before were the most expensive, but she didn't expect them to be the cheapest here. How could it be?
"It, why is it so cheap? Do we have a lot of it here?" This thing is obviously so delicious, much better than coarse flour steamed buns.
"Not many people grow it, but it can yield a lot per acre. Generally, it can yield more than 6,000 kilograms. If the yield is high, it can yield 10,000 kilograms. Besides, it can be stored for a long time."
Chaochao was still wondering how much six thousand kilograms and ten thousand kilograms weighed. Unfortunately, she didn't even have a kindergarten diploma, so she had no idea.
However, the people of Daqi under the sky were boiling with excitement.
When Magistrate Gao heard that the sweet potato yield per mu was more than 6,000 catties, he leaned out of the carriage window and asked the driver, "Did you hear clearly just now? Did you say more than 6,000 catties?"
The driver was so dizzy that he almost lost his grip on the reins. He quickly came to his senses after hearing what Magistrate Gao said, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, and they also said that the yield was as high as 10,000 catties."
That's how much that is. Their current grain yield is only about 100 to 200 kilograms per mu.
Ten thousand jin versus one or two hundred jin…
Everyone under the sky swallowed their saliva.
Especially those people who were already poor and had little food were extremely envious. If they also had such good seeds, would they still be afraid of starving after paying taxes?
Emperor Jingxuan paced back and forth in the hall, with his hands on his hips and scratching his hair, looking a little crazy.
But no one cared about him at this moment. Everyone present was stunned.
After a while, someone murmured, "The yield per mu is 6,000 to 10,000 catties. Is this really not a joke?"
"Did you hear that? She also said that this thing is very filling and can be stored for a long time."
“It’s delicious.”
"What kind of divine food is this?"
Yes, how can such divine food be grown in the land of mortals like them? This is really the fairyland.
Who knew that Emperor Jingxuan suddenly swung his sleeves and sat down on the dragon throne. His voice was cold and his eyes were burning. "Everyone, the sky curtain has been put down until now. You have been thinking about it all night. Now can you tell me, is this the fairyland?"
The civil and military officials stood on both sides and looked at each other in surprise.
After a long time, the Grand Tutor was the first to stand out from the crowd. "Your Majesty, there are too few places shown on the canopy. At present, we can only see two people and they have been in the house the whole time. It is really hard to judge."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, and the Grand Tutor continued, "However, I think this should not be considered the fairyland."
"I second your opinion. If it were the Immortal Realm, the Immortals probably wouldn't need to eat at all."
Soon several people agreed with the Master's point of view.
