Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Poor Are Rich!.

“I just remembered that I still have some of these two things.”

Su Li said with a smile on his face. Li Er was stunned, and quickly asked, “Where is it?” Quick pickup. ”

Su Linu mouthed and motioned for Li Er to look back.

“It’s in the pot behind you.”

Su Li gasped for breath, making Li Er uncomfortable.

However, at this time, he didn’t care to say anything else, and turned his head to look back.

At night, through the light, Li Er saw the emerald green branches and vines at a glance. The potatoes do not grow tall, and a handful of leaves are scattered randomly above the pot, fluttering gently in the wind.

The vines of sweet potatoes are white, and even if they are planted in pots, they look a little rare.

These two things, which look ordinary, seem to be little different from the common green leaves on the side of the road.

But in Li Er’s eyes, these flower pots in front of him are simply the most precious things under the sky.

Li Er couldn’t help but stand up, walked to the flower pot, lowered his head, and looked at the contents with a look of fascination. Grabbed the fries and sweet potatoes’ hands and wiped them randomly on the expensive robe.

Then, Li Er raised his hand and gently stroked the leaves. Seeing Li Er’s appearance, Su Li also had some emotion.

Not to mention anything else, Li Er, who cherishes grain so much, is obviously really concerned about the people’s suffering. At this point, Li Er can be called a good emperor.

At this time, Li Er’s heart was full of ecstasy.

In just a quarter of an hour, his mood can be called a roller coaster. At first glance, he heard that there was actually a thousand catties of divine grain per acre, and Li Er was as happy as climbing into the sky.

But then he learned that the precious grain seeds had been eaten, and the huge feeling of loss was unbearable even for Li Er, and when he was about to mobilize the power of the whole country and cross the ocean to bring these two things back, Su Li suddenly said that there were still some grain seeds.

Su Li gasped a few times, and almost didn’t make Li Er, the old man, out of a heart attack. But Li Er didn’t mean to blame Su Li at all!

“These two things have been planted for a long time, counting the time, they are almost ripe, you can see for yourself.”

Su Li’s voice sounded from behind him, and Li Er was overjoyed when he heard this.

Without hesitation, he directly put his hand into the flower pot and pulled up the soil inside.

Looking at his cautious appearance that avoided touching the rhizome, Su Li couldn’t help but be a little funny. After all, he is his own husband, where is the reason for him to work there and sit on the side?

Besides, although the pot is not large, because it is planted with grain, the soil inside is still quite porcelain. Just rely on Li Er’s two hands to slowly pull and pull, when will this have to go?

He stood up and walked next to Li Er.

Reach out and grasp the part of the rhizome exposed on the surface of the soil with a little force. Subsequently, a large lump of potatoes was pulled out of the soil by Su Li.

“How is it so rough!”

Li Er glanced at Su Li with dissatisfaction. Immediately afterwards, his gaze was attracted by what Su Li was holding in his hand.

Li Erqian squatted on the ground, his eyes looking directly at the pile of yellow fruits of different sizes under the rhizome.

“This is the potato?”

He gently plucked the smallest potato, brushed the dirt off it with his hand, and gently touched his nails. The wet touch on his fingers immediately made Li Er’s heart surge with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

“This is the potato, and the fruit is also a grain seed, you can pick it and estimate the weight.”

Su Li knew what Li Er was most concerned about, and kindly suggested.

Li Er immediately called Changsun over.

Therefore, the most noble couple in the entire Great Tang Dynasty, just like ordinary old farmers, picked up potatoes. Changsun turned out a basket out of nowhere, collapsed in his hand, and led a bucket of water in his other hand.

Every time Li Er picked a potato, Changsun would wash it clean and carefully put it in the basket. In a short time, the two of them were busy.

Li Er looked at Changsun and asked, “What is the weight?” ”

Despite Su Li’s words, Li Er was still a little apprehensive at this time, and he always felt that he wanted to confirm it himself. Empress Changsun flipped the basket, and an incredible look flashed in her eyes.

“Almost more than ten pounds? I guess I’m not sure, you try it yourself. ”

Li Er immediately became excited, he took the basket and threw it up and down.

This weight, ten pounds can’t be beaten ah… A pot two palms wide can grow ten pounds of grain, if you talk about mu yield, hiss…

Thinking of this, Li Er couldn’t help but gasp.

……

Bed… Han Guo] He immediately calculated that the mu yield of potatoes is afraid to exceed the one thousand catties that Su Li said!

“Look at the sweet potatoes again!”

Li Er couldn’t wait to say.

The two of them got together again in front of the pot with sweet potatoes, and this time, they didn’t need Su Li’s help.

Empress Changsun found a small shovel from the side, and then Li Er emptied the soil in the pot with three strokes and two strokes. Soon, the weight of the sweet potato was also calculated.

Sweet potatoes are large and produce less fruit than potatoes. But overall, the portion is not lighter than potatoes, and even more than that.

To see is to believe!

The big stone in his heart landed, and in turn, Li Er was surrounded by boundless excitement.

Li Er closed his eyes and fantasized about the scene of one day potatoes and sweet potatoes being promoted to the world.

……

At that time, he can tell the world that from now on, under the rule of the Great Tang, there will be no one starving to death!

With such a merit, even if Li Er did nothing else, it would not prevent him from leaving a name in history and becoming an emperor praised by posterity!

“I want to plant all the fields of the Great Tang with these two kinds of grain…”

Li Er turned his head to look at Su Li and said slowly. Hearing this, Su Li was taken aback, and quickly persuaded.

“Potato and sweet potato yields are high, but storage conditions are harsh. Troublesome storage means inconvenient circulation. Large-scale promotion, you don’t have to! ”

Compared to other staple foods, potatoes and sweet potatoes are really not something to preserve. Granaries everywhere, old grain stored for three years and five years abound.

But can potatoes and sweet potatoes last that long?

The storage conditions of potatoes have relatively strict requirements for temperature.

If the temperature is slightly higher, it will turn purple and sprout after a long time, and the potatoes that have sprouted are poisonous.

Compared with potatoes, sweet potatoes are relatively easy to store, but under normal circumstances, they will be put for a month when they die. If you get a sweet potato cellar, you can greatly extend the storage time, but it is difficult to exceed a year.

After a long time, it will also germinate and mold, and stiffness will appear. Li Er’s current mentality is like that of most poor people getting rich.

Simply put, happiness comes so suddenly that it goes from one extreme to another.

But anyway, these two things are really not so popular!.
