Chapter 81: Yield of 1,000 Jin per Mu
Each planned site has its pros and cons. Some are close to waterfalls and streams for easy watering, some are surrounded by trees for more shade and can avoid direct sunlight when working, but some are far from water sources and have no shade.
Everyone wants good land, but people dislike bad land. After drawing lots, some people are naturally satisfied and some are not.
But it was something that had been agreed upon in advance, so everyone just grumbled about it in their hearts at most, but didn't say anything out loud.
The Lu family had a relatively small population and was only allocated two acres of land. Because the site they drew happened to be next to the Zhang family, they set off with the Zhang family.
On the way, Zhang Chengming asked him, "Do you want to open up another ten or eight acres of land?"
The village chief did not allow others to open more land because the additional area was not within the scope of Lu Xuan's help, but Lu Xuan himself certainly did not have this restriction and could plant as much as he wanted.
If it were him, he would definitely plant twenty or thirty acres.
Lu Xuan said, "Two acres is enough."
The female relatives who were traveling with them were puzzled.
Is there enough land for growing crops? Isn't more always better?
Zhang Chengming did not continue to ask, but felt that Lu Xuan must have his own plans.
"So what are you going to plant? We've already decided to plant one acre of dry rice, one acre of wheat, and the remaining acre of cabbage and radish, half each."
In this way, food and winter storage vegetables can be guaranteed.
Lu Xuan said: "My family wants to grow dry rice, wheat, millet, soybeans, mung beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn..."
The Zhang family was shocked when they heard this. "So many?"
They couldn't help but doubt again, is two acres of land really enough for planting?
Moreover, Mr. Zhang wondered, "What are sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes?"
Lu Xuan took out the real thing and showed it to them.
The Zhang family members immediately stretched their necks.
The first thing Aunt Zhang and Ye Ping noticed was the golden corn. "What is this? It looks so beautiful."
Lu Xuan: "It's corn. The one on the left is potato, and the one on the right is sweet potato."
Zhang Wende and Zhang Chengming looked at the potatoes and thought, "These don't look like beans at all. They're too big."
And it looks gray and doesn't look very tasty.
But Lu Xuan said, "Potatoes are delicious whether they are fried, steamed, mashed, or stewed with meat. There are many ways to eat them."
The Zhang family looked at each other and said "oh".
Since I'm completely unfamiliar with this kind of food, I can't comment on it.
Old Master Zhang pointed at the sweet potato and said, "Isn't that yam? You can occasionally find some wild in the mountains. I heard that areas prone to famine rely on it for survival. I ate it when I was young. Eating too much of it not only causes heartburn but also causes gas. It's also poisonous if it sprouts and doesn't keep for long. Generally, only people who are really struggling to survive will grow some for emergency use."
Lu Xuan is obviously not related to people who can't survive.
Mr. Zhang frowned. "Are you sure you want to plant it? Isn't it a waste of land?"
Lu Xuan said: "No."
The original sweet potatoes were indeed not very delicious. They were small in size and had a dry taste. Even though Lu Xuan had experienced the suffering of the end of the world, he couldn't say with a clear conscience that they were delicious.
But if you replace it with the extremely sweet, grilled and runny No. XX smoked potato, do you think they will still complain about the heartburn and gas caused by eating too much?
With the space ring, short storage time is no longer a problem.
If all else fails, you can make sweet potato flour.
But Lu Xuan was impatient to explain all this in detail, so he only mentioned the part that they cared about most, "The yields of sweet potatoes and potatoes are very high."
The Zhang family didn't take it seriously and just casually asked, "How high is it?"
Lu Xuan said something shocking in a calm tone, "At least 1,800 kilograms."
The Zhang family was stunned at first, then realized what he said and took a deep breath.
"You said Young Master Duo—!?"
·
When they arrived at the field, the Zhang family still looked dazed.
Other nearby villagers noticed something was wrong and came over to ask, "What's wrong with you?"
The Zhang family was doubting their lives and wanted to find someone to share their shock and doubts, so they immediately whispered to each other about the thousand-jin harvest.
Soon, there was one more family in a trance.
Then the family couldn't help but tell their neighbors on the other side.
The neighbor next door told the neighbor next door, and soon most of the village got the news and became dazed.
After learning about it, Li Tie was so excited that he wanted to come to Lu Xuan to confirm whether the message was delivered incorrectly. In fact, it was not 1,800 kilograms, but 180 kilograms?
But when I think about it, it seems unlikely.
If it really weighs 180 kilograms, there is no need to get excited.
But the figure of 1,800 kilograms is so exaggerated that it is hard to believe.
After thinking it over, Li Tie gave up the idea of looking for Lu Xuan to confirm.
When asked, Lu Xuan's answer would most likely be affirmative. It would be better to wait until the first harvest arrives and then let the facts speak for themselves.
On the Lu family’s share of land.
Lu Xuan ignored the exclamations of the surrounding villagers and scattered the seeds of more than ten kinds of crops, including those he had just mentioned to the Zhang family and those not mentioned, including radishes and cabbages, on the ground.
The people in the live broadcast room were also a little confused when they saw this.
[Why does the streamer plant so many varieties? Even if you can force them to grow, each crop matures at a different time. It would be a bit troublesome to mix them and harvest them.]
The key is that after all the work is done, I can't collect much of each type. In the end, I do collect more types, but the quantity is still less than that of other people in the village. It feels meaningless.
Lu Xuan said nonchalantly: "That's because it's not time to see the meaning yet."
When the audience heard this, they wondered what kind of secret operation he was carrying out and couldn't help but ask him what he was up to.
Lu Xuan did not answer.
Because he himself was not very sure, it would be useless to say anything now.
An hour later, all the seeds in the village were planted, and Lu Xuan transferred his wood-related abilities to them one by one.
The seeds, covered with only a thin layer of soil, quickly sprouted and broke through the soil, growing into palm-high seedlings, turning the gray and yellow fields into patches of vibrant green.
Although the villagers were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
After Lu Xuan confirmed that all the seeds had been stimulated to sprout, he clapped his hands and said to everyone, "When using the Wood Element Immortal Technique to stimulate seeds, it is impossible to distinguish between grains and weeds. The faster the seedlings grow, the denser the weeds will grow. Remember to weed them in time."
This is half true and half false.
It’s not that he can’t just encourage the growth of crops and eliminate weeds, but that doesn’t fall within the scope of the 30% hard work fee.
"The vampire vines can't protect all fields. To prevent wild animals from destroying the crops, it's best to build fences around the fields to minimize losses."
In addition, the villagers will need to solve the watering work themselves in the future.
In this weather, the soil will dry out in less than half an hour after watering once. It is necessary to water the soil at least five or six times a day to prevent the seedlings from being sun-dried to death.
Including weeding. After planting crops, it is not convenient to continue using a weeder, so you can only pull it out manually, which is also hard work.
If you do the math, even with his help, the villagers still have things to do, and 70% of the harvest is definitely not something they can get without doing anything.
Li Tie memorized these matters one by one and said, "Don't worry, I will explain these matters to the villagers and won't give you any extra worries."
Lu Xuan nodded.
At this point, his mission was completed.
The villagers stayed to prepare for the second watering, while Lu Xuan returned to the villa safe house.
In addition to cultivating the fields, the villagers have also opened a vegetable garden in the square next to the fence in the past two days. Each family has a piece of land to grow some green vegetables for daily consumption.
The Lu family no longer lives in the small cave, so they don't occupy a place there. After Lu Xuan arrived home, he directly opened a large vegetable garden on both sides and in front of the safe house with the safe house as the center.
Each family's vegetable garden in the square only occupies less than 30 square meters, but the vegetable garden opened by Lu Xuan is 200 to 300 square meters in size.
The reason why he didn't take over the area behind was because the orchard he had opened up before was just a few steps away.
Lu Xuan planted all the vegetable seeds he had on hand.
Onion, ginger, garlic, leek, spinach, bok choy, lettuce, pepper, cucumber, pumpkin, winter melon...
I also planted a few sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in the vegetable garden.
Vegetables are not as much as grains, and the consumption is not that much. The audience in the live broadcast room didn't say anything when they saw him planting many varieties, but instead urged him to do another thing.
[Host, go home and see if your sister's side effects have passed. Maybe she can awaken her superpowers too.]
Lu Xuan looked at the sky, used his water ability to water the vegetable garden, and then turned and entered the villa.
Almost at the same time, Lu Chen and Lu Qing came down from upstairs.
Lu Xuan asked: "Has your body recovered?"
Lu Qing smiled rosyly and said, "I'm not feeling nauseous anymore."
Lu Xuan gestured for her to sit down, poured her a glass of juice, and asked, "Have you felt any changes in your body?"
Lu Qing smiled even more happily and clenched her fists. "My strength is at least twice as great as before! I could only carry 100 kilograms of food before, but I just tried it and I can easily carry 200 kilograms."
Lu Chen clapped enthusiastically, "Sister, you're awesome!"
Lu Xuan asked, "Have you noticed some strange power in your body?"
Lu Qing, who was delighted with her increased strength, paused and asked in confusion, "What strange power? Aren't elixirs meant to enhance physical fitness?"
Lu Xuan then told her, "It's more than that. Improving physical fitness is only the most basic effect. Besides that, those who are lucky enough may gain magical skills after taking the elixir."
"What!?" Lu Qing exclaimed.
Lu Chen's eyes widened. "Is this magic the same as my brother's ability to quickly grow fruits and vegetables, and to quickly grind meat and squeeze juice?"
Lu Xuan said: "Perhaps, it could be something more special."
Lu Chen became even more excited when he heard this. His face flushed as he looked at Lu Qing, "Sister, what magic did you get?"
Lu Xuan also looked at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was very nervous when the two brothers looked at her. "I, I don't know."
Lu Xuan patiently guided him, "Calm down and feel it carefully. As long as you are awakened, you should be able to feel it. Try to draw that power into your palm."
Lu Qing took a deep breath and said, "Then let me try?", spreading her palms in front of her.
Lu Chen encouraged her, "Sister, you can do it!"
The people in the live broadcast room were not very hopeful.
According to official data, the chance of awakening superpowers after taking the genetic evolution fluid is only 10%. How can it be so easy to come across a probability of one in ten? Look at Lu Qing's face flushed red, but she still has no reaction at all.
"Actually, being able to double my stamina is pretty good. Isn't having a healthy and strong body more important than anything else during a disaster?"
The other viewers were just echoing this comment when they suddenly saw someone excitedly comment: [Look at Lu Qing's palm!]
The audience looked over subconsciously and were surprised to find that a drop of water had actually condensed in Lu Qing's palm. The drop of water kept growing and finally turned into a water ball as big as a fist.
Everyone:!!! He actually awakened!?
