"Do you really think I would spend so long painting the rocks and then lie to you? If I had that time, I would just rob you and you would be rich!"

Zach was a little confused by my violent squirt, but he immediately reacted and whispered dissatisfiedly: "Why do you treat robbery like a natural thing..."

But Zach's work awareness was still in place. He had already walked to the potato pile, picked up a potato and observed it carefully.

Then, he carefully made a slit in the potato with his fingers, observed the internal texture of the potato, and smelled it carefully.

For a moment, I really thought he was a botanical expert.

Until Zack broke the potato in half and took a bite...

"It tastes terrible...did you really lie to me?"

"Isn't it normal for raw potatoes to be unpalatable!" I immediately complained. How can you, a layman pretending to be an expert, expect to know everything about it? Why don't you complain to poisonous mushrooms about poor user feedback?

?

"Eh! Is that like this?!" Zach had a surprised expression on his face, rubbing his head and giggling, which made me even more angry.

Fortunately, the time when he was offline still passed, and he fulfilled his duty by bagging and sealing all the potatoes, and even brought a scale to weigh them on site.

As the boxes were stacked higher and higher on the scale, the pointer on the dial also increased little by little. The pointer measuring the single kilograms immediately turned 360 degrees, and the pointer at the hundreds place also slowly moved...

"225 kilograms!"

Zach patted me on the shoulder with a look of relief, "Congratulations! Marcus! You shipped so much in your first planting!"

Zach crossed his arms and looked at the ranch with bright eyes, with infinite emotion in his tone: "I never thought that I would be able to see the Ore Town Ranch sell goods again in my lifetime! The crops in the town have been dependent on imports for many years.

Every time, the brothers’ boats are occupied, and they always complain to me that this route is not profitable.”

"When your place expands, the town will be self-sufficient, and I can bring more industrial products here! The mayonnaise machine over at Lilia has been used for ten years, and it's time to replace it!"

I watched the potatoes being neatly packed into boxes, and I was full of expectations. I couldn't help but ask Zach: "How much does one kilogram of potatoes cost now? How much can I sell after I ship these?"

Zach scratched his head and recalled: "Last week, boss Dart imported potatoes for 120 yuan per kilogram, but this price includes shipping costs, so the premium is quite high. The ones you produce here should be able to sell for 100 yuan per kilogram.

what do you think?"

That means the 225 kilograms of potatoes I have here can be sold for 22,500 yuan!

Although this money is not much in big cities, for example, Gu Legu took out 30,000 yuan as a down payment, but it is enough to squander it for a long time in this small town.

For 10,000 yuan, I can buy dozens of packets of seeds at the grocery store, eat at Boss Dart's for half a month, and build a batch of new farm tools at Sebala...

"By the way, Marcus, where are your potatoes grown?" After Zach packed the potatoes, he wiped his sweat and continued chatting with me.

"I come to the ranch every day to check whether the goods have been shipped, but I don't see you planting potatoes? Could it be that you have opened up wasteland in the woodland outside the ranch?"

Zach kindly reminded: "Although this area is ownerless land, if you occupy the woodland outside the ranch, Gotz will find out! He is a part-time ranger, and he can easily go to the police station if he occupies wasteland.

!”

Is Gotz so scary? I thought he was just a good old man who lived in the mountains.

Having said that, my pasture is surrounded by bushes that are taller than a person. Only a ghost would go there to open up wasteland!

I really couldn't stand Zach's unrestrained self, so I took him to visit the front potato field next to the house. If I don't control it, this guy will become more and more fond of random thoughts.

The potato field that was growing well before was reduced to a pile of uprooted plants after my harvest. And the place where the potatoes were originally buried has now turned into a huge pit.

"Why did you bring me here to see this pit?" Zach asked in confusion.

"What's the trap? This is my potato field. Aren't you asking?"

"Huh?!!!" Zach's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he pointed to the deep pit and asked, "Where are your potatoes grown? How big are they? Twenty square meters... twenty-five square meters!"

"

Zach walked around the pit in amazement and asked in surprise, "You only planted twenty-five square meters, and you grew more than two hundred kilograms of potatoes! I thought you were planting weeds here."

, didn’t pay attention at all!”

The weeds he was talking about... may be the grass fields adjacent to the potato fields. Various types of grasses of different lengths grow together. It is indeed a bit like a weed field...

"Isn't this normal? The potatoes I pulled up were about 4-10 potatoes per plant, and each one weighed more than a kilogram. A single plant was at least four or five kilograms, and the most was 10 kilograms or 3 taels. The average single plant should weigh

Five or six pounds."

"Pull it out with your hands? Are you so strong?"

"I am born with divine power!"

"That's not right... Marcus..." Zach, who was shocked by the potatoes falling from the sky, slowly regained his senses and suddenly realized something was wrong, "You have only been in this town for more than a week, right? How did you grow potatoes?

of?"

I picked up a potato plant, showed it to him, and introduced: "I sowed this potato six days ago and harvested it today. It's really a bit fast."

"Is this a question of speed? This is simply the speed of light!" Zach scratched his head in collapse, "It took six days to complete the growth of potatoes. What's the point? I'd better accept it if you use stones to paint..."

"Because I used golden rubbish! The fertilizer was mixed with golden rubbish, and the crop yield was 18,000 per acre; the fertilizer was mixed with golden rubbish, and it absorbed nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium two meters below, you know, right?"

"What is Golden Fertilizer? Is this fertilizer really so magical?" Zach had been fooled by me for a long time and asked subconsciously, "Okay... what I want to say is, this variety of potatoes is amazing.

As long as you can continue planting, you can not only solve the food problem in the ore town, but you can even export it!"

In fact, the most amazing thing is that this potato yields 10,000 kilograms per mu and matures in six days. I have not dewormed, watered, or fertilized the potatoes, and I have not even taken care of them for a day...

But I still don't plan to say it out loud. If the attack continues, Zach will really lose his rationality and become a member of the UC shock department.

Another consideration is that there are too many magical things about potatoes in the colonial system. What if someone is targeting them? Although this is a remote country, it is better to do less than to do more. It is better to keep a low profile.

"Zach, leave me 25 kilograms of potatoes. I won't ship these. You can take the rest."

"Okay, I'll give you the money for the later shipment!"

Zach satisfied his curiosity and said goodbye to me refreshed. I saw him holding on to the potato box with one hand and holding it slightly with the other hand, and he easily carried the 200 kilogram box with one hand.

On his shoulders, he walked briskly.
