Chapter 162: A thousand pounds per mu, Jiang Ziya’s potato dream

Jiang Ziya looked at the potatoes and asked curiously:

"What kind of food is this and why have I never seen it before?"

Jiang Ziya didn't go to Kunlun Mountain to learn Taoism until he was in his thirties. He had lived in the countryside before and sold fences, so he was familiar with various crops.

But he had never seen potatoes.

Li Yuan said casually:"This is called potatoes. This kind of food does not exist in Kyushu."

Isn't there any in Kyushu?

Jiang Ziya couldn't help but become more and more curious.

He asked again:"I wonder what the yield of this potato is? Can it be used as a staple food?"

Li Yuan glanced at Jiang Ziya with some surprise.

This man really has the talent of a prime minister.

When he saw a new ingredient, he immediately thought of its yield and use.

Daji, Nuwa, and Houtu ate it. I have been a potato for so long, but I have never cared about this kind of problem.

"The yield depends on the fertility of the land. One acre is about two thousand kilograms. Can be used as a staple food."

Plop!

Jiang Ziya staggered and fell to the ground.

Next to himSeeing this, Shen Gongbao shook his head disdainfully.

He really doesn't have the air of a general, no calmness, and I don't know why the master asked him to assist the new king?

Jiang Ziya quickly got up from the ground. He stared at the potato with a dumbfounded expression and smacked his tongue:

"The output of this product is so high? real or fake? Li

Yuan said calmly:

"In fact, I said it was too low. If the land is fertile and managed properly, it is possible to produce potatoes with a yield of four to five thousand kilograms per mu."

Plop!

Jiang Ziya fell to the ground again.

Four or five thousand pounds?

He couldn't believe his ears.

You know, the main food of Chaoge people today is rice, millet (yellow rice), millet (millet), wheat, There are five kinds of beans (general name for beans).

Among them, the highest yield is only about two hundred catties per acre.

What is the concept of two hundred compared with four or five thousand?

If potato planting can be promoted across the country, we no longer have to worry about food. Not enough to eat.

Although Jiang Ziya tried hard to stay calm, he couldn't help but show excitement.

Shen Gongbao saw Jiang Ziya so excited, but he didn't laugh at him this time.

After all, he was also a very intelligent person. He saw Jiang Ziya ask Tudou twice. He also reacted to the output.

Although he didn't know the specific amount of today's grain output, it was definitely far from reaching thousands of kilograms.

This potato is indeed a sacred item that benefits the country and the people.

Thinking of this, Shen Gongbao He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

He was annoyed that he didn't discover the magic of potatoes earlier than Jiang Ziya.

He didn't admit that Jiang Ziya was better than him.

Jiang Ziya came back to his senses and quickly asked Li Yuan:

"With such a high yield, is it very difficult to grow?"

Li Yuan:

"Planting potatoes is actually quite simple. It doesn't require as much water as rice. You just need to build a ridge on the land, plant the potato teeth in the ridge, and then fertilize and weed it regularly."

It's really not difficult.

Jiang Ziya was so excited that his body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.

Yuanshi Tianzun asked him to go down the mountain to assist Xiqi, but Jiang Ziya had no specific assistance plan in mind, and he didn't know how to attract Ji Chang's attention. But now The potatoes he discovered gave him a direction to help.

As long as potatoes are introduced to Xiqi and planted vigorously, Xiqi can solve the people's food problem, and the national power will definitely be greatly improved.

By then, the conquest of Chaoge will be done with twice the result with half the effort..

Moreover, with this divine object as a meeting gift, it would be difficult for him not to use it seriously.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya became excited and his eyes gleamed. He just felt that this time he really came to the right place.

Shen Gongbao next to him also looked thoughtful, In my heart, I thought of Jiang Ziya together.

"I wonder how this tastes? Shen Gongbao asked curiously.

At this time, all the wolf-tooth potatoes have been fried.

Li Yuan put various seasonings on the fried potatoes in proportion, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onion. A pot of wolf-tooth potatoes with full fragrance and beautiful appearance is ready. Completely done

"You can try it for yourself whether it tastes good or not."

Li Yuan scooped out a portion for himself and tasted it first.

It tasted fragrant and glutinous, soft and delicious. Li Yuan was very satisfied with his skills.

"Suck it!"

By the river two kilometers away from Li Yuan Manor, a willow tree that required several adults to surround suddenly trembled in its branches.

Then an old man with a white beard walked out of the willow tree tremblingly.

As he walked, he also While sucking hard through the nose

"suck"

"What smells so good?"

The Taoist raised his eyebrows as he looked at Li Yuan's yard and swallowed his saliva immediately.

"Potato? It looks delicious."

Speaking of eating, he suddenly felt his stomach turning.……

"vomit!"

He vomited it out immediately.

However, there was nothing left in his stomach to vomit, so he could only retching.

"Ugh..., forget it, I can't talk about eating these days. Uh-huh... I don't know who is behind this, making the old man's legs weak from vomiting.……"

While vomiting, the Taoist raised his eyebrows and walked into the willow tree again.

……

Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao also eagerly scooped up a portion for themselves.

After eating one, the two of them widened their eyes in unison.

This potato can no longer be described as delicious. It is simply the best food they have ever eaten in their lives.

This spicy seasoning strongly stimulated the taste buds of the two people, making them salivate and salivate.

"This is simply the most delicious food in the world."Jiang Ziya was full of praise while eating.

"Delicious, so fragrant."Shen Gongbao devoured it.

He secretly sighed, if all the food was so delicious, what else would he have to do? He would have eaten and drank as much as he wanted.

Jiang Ziya felt the charm of potatoes and wanted to get them more and more. Potato seeds and planting methods.

However, he was a little embarrassed to ask Li Yuan directly.

After all, this thing is so precious, if it is presented to the Human Emperor, he can get a title. Moreover

, Jiang Ziya is a little selfish, he He only wanted to promote it in Xiqi and did not want potatoes to be planted in Chaoge first to enhance the national power of the Shang Dynasty.

In this way, it would be even more difficult for him to speak.

Jiang Ziya suddenly remembered the purpose of coming to Li Yuan today.

If he could get Li Yuan After introducing him to Chanjiao and turning him into a fellow disciple, he would certainly not be able to refuse if he made a request to him again.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya immediately stopped hesitating and immediately expressed his thoughts to Li Yuan:

"Brother Li, I wonder if you have any teachers in your Taoism?"

Pfft!

When Shen Gongbao next to him heard this, he couldn't hold back and spit out the wolf-toothed potatoes in his mouth.

It just hit Jiang Ziya's face.

Jiang Ziya felt the sticky mashed potatoes on his face, and his body stiffened.

His expression was about to collapse.

Anger, disgust, embarrassment, madness and other emotions came one after another, making this usually indifferent person tremble with anger.

When Li Yuan saw this, he was speechless and had no appetite anymore.

Shen Gongbao was also a little agitated. Dumbfounded, he quickly explained:

"Senior brother, I'm really embarrassed, but I couldn't hold it back when I heard what you asked Senior Li, so I slapped you in the face."

Jiang Ziya suppressed the anger in his heart, resisted the urge to feel disgusted, and quickly wiped the mashed potatoes off his face.

He asked Shen Gongbao with a black line:

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? Did he actually make his junior brother angry?"

Shen Gongbao smiled bitterly and said:

"In fact, not long ago, I had the temerity to ask Senior Li the same thing. Later I realized how outrageous my behavior was. Senior Li is a peerless master who is the same generation as Uncle Tongtian. How could such a person lower his status and become a disciple of someone else?"
