Chapter 46 Im afraid that my brother will have a hard time, but Im also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover(2/2)
"Old Liutou, don't be stunned. Dig quickly to see if this one is the only one with so many knots."
However, the next plant was dug out, and there was another bumper harvest, with fruits of all sizes hanging in abundance.
"Is this thing edible? Is it poisonous?"
"You don't care whether it's edible or not. There are craftsmen who collect this stuff. Just sell it to them."
"I heard that the price of this thing is not cheap, twice as much as that of wheat. Now Old Liu will make a fortune."
"Oh, if I had known I would have followed suit."
If you had known that money is hard to buy, winter is about to enter, and nothing can be grown in the soil. Only the first batch of potatoes will catch up.
I am afraid that my brothers will live in hardship, but I am also afraid that my brothers will drive a Land Rover. Especially in a feudal society with a small-scale peasant economy, if something happens to a family, basically people from all over the country will know about it.
The farmers who had grown potatoes before suddenly became the envy of the village.
Especially for those who plant a lot, the yield per mu is 50 dan. Planting ten acres means 500 dan. What was the concept of five hundred dan of grain in ancient times? Which ordinary farmer can save so much grain? That’s good.
Really big business.
All of a sudden, those relatives who had not been around for a long time began to visit frequently. If there was a boy in the family, as long as he was over twelve years old, the matchmaker who came to propose marriage would almost break the threshold.
In winter, there is basically nothing else to do in the countryside. When you are idle, you always have to talk about something. Therefore, these "big households" who were the first to plant potatoes became the focus of everyone.
Farmers who have never enjoyed such treatment feel proud and proud. How long ago did they also enjoy such a feeling of being surrounded by stars?
On the other side, those aristocratic families also regretted it. If they had known that they could not suppress it, they would not compete with the court. Now not only did they make the court unhappy, but the Kuhaha people in the village also looked like enemies when they saw them.
excuse me.
"Dad, how about we also grow potatoes?"
"Plant it, plant it, and next year half of the land will be used to grow potatoes."
"Dad, it's only half? Why don't we plant them all? The potato yield is fifty dan per acre, while the wheat yield is only a few dan. There's a tenfold difference."
"It's stupid to think so. Next year, all the potatoes will be planted. Will those merchants still charge such high prices? Things are rare and valuable. There is no need for our family to take risks like those Kuhaha."
No matter what those aristocratic families thought, potatoes were gradually popularized in the Tang Dynasty this year.
