They've never grown it before, and they have no experience.
In fact, no one in the village had any experience. If it weren't for Shuiqing's family taking the lead and solving the problem of food and clothing, even if they knew that Polygonum multiflorum and yam were valuable, they wouldn't have dared to use all of their land to grow medicinal herbs!
These days, it's thanks to Shui Qing that they've been able to make a living. Otherwise, even if they stayed in the fields every day to check on things, they would easily become anxious and worry about this and that.
With a source of income, people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, and can focus on making money.
Making money is one thing, but today is the day to see the results. We're about to know what we've gained, so how can we not be nervous and excited?!
Shui Qing, who was at the front of the crowd, had no experience in planting Polygonum multiflorum. In the past, seeds were sown on the mountain, and there were trees and weeds, so the yield per acre was hard to estimate. Moreover, most of the yield was actually faked by the online mall and could not be counted.
Although she had no planting experience, she could read planting books to learn.
Wild Polygonum multiflorum typically grows to about eight ounces in ten years, while artificially cultivated Polygonum multiflorum can grow to eight ounces in two or three years due to the loose soil, fertilization, and weeding.
Her land had been plowed several times, and the soil was loose. It had been fertilized many times with farmyard manure made from the manure of her chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Feng Daman and a dozen other men came over from time to time to weed, and it could be said that the soil was loose, fertilized, and weeded properly, so the harvest shouldn't be too bad...
As Feng Dayi struck with his hoe, a fist-sized lump was unearthed, causing the crowd to erupt in excitement!
"Look! It really grew!"
"It's about the size of a fist, but it looks so much like a potato!"
"I estimate this weighs about five or six ounces, right?"
The crowd discussed it enthusiastically and was extremely excited.
Feng Da quickly dug a few more times with his hoe and came out several fist-sized lumps. He happily bent down to pick them up and presented them to Shui Qing. Shui Qing took one and then handed it to the old village chief, Master Fan, and the others to look at.
The old village chief, Master Fan, and the others held it in their hands and examined it carefully. After a long while, they breathed a long sigh of relief and exclaimed excitedly, "It really is He Shou Wu!"
"We have successfully grown He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum)."
"I never imagined that Polygonum multiflorum could be grown like rice and wheat."
Shuiqing thought to herself, "Not only can it be grown, but the yield per acre is also exceptionally high!"
According to the book, the yield of fresh He Shou Wu can reach 2,000 kilograms per mu, which is 4,000 jin!
Shanshui Village's cultivation methods cannot compare to China's scientific and large-scale planting, but it should not be difficult to achieve half the yield per mu for the same variety, which is 2,000 jin. The yield per mu is calculated based on the growth time of He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) for two or three years. If the growth time is insufficient, the yield will not be reached. If it is grown for one year, the yield per mu should be around 700 or 800 jin.
