Under the gentle light, there are distant mountains.
The breeze blows slowly, and all the village elders are smiling and standing on the edge of the field, leaning on crutches.
Treat this as a fun part of the party.
Gongsun Jing squinted his eyes, thinking that this should be the high-yielding crop his granddaughter mentioned.
He estimated in his mind that if such an acre could produce three hundred kilograms of food that could be eaten, he wouldn't need to waste time.
But if it is less than three hundred kilograms, what kind of rhetoric should he use to help his granddaughter persuade these village elders to promote planting.
He was smiling and his mind was spinning.
It's not convenient for Tian Kai to have one arm, and he has become much more handsome recently. When he squats down, his belly is so heavy that he can't breathe.
He simply tucked the corners of his robe around his waist and knelt down to dig up the soil.
"Jinggong, that kid said this thing can prevent people from starving to death. It must be very productive, right?" Gao Huai asked with a smile and stroking his beard.
The Lian family's lesson came first. In Gao Huai's mind, the Gongsun family really knew how to act, but he didn't know what the act was at this time.
He looked at Gongsun Jing with a look that could see through everything.
Gongsun Jing himself didn't know what was going on before him, so he said with a confident smile on his face: "Gao Gong, we'll see."
"Okay, okay." Gao Huai nodded repeatedly, stroking the beard on his chin, and asked him to wait and see.
The other village elders did not have such a complicated mental journey as they did, and they all laughed and cheered.
Soon, following Tian Kai's movements, a sweet potato vine was pulled up first: "The tender hearts of these vines are peeled off and fried in an iron pan. The rest are sent to the pig farm."
Tian Kai said while working: "The white pigs in Guzhu Village have a good appetite and are willing to gain weight. They are very fat and moist."
After saying this, he smacked his lips and his jaw trembled twice.
Gongsun Jing looked a little funny when he saw his mouth full of food, and was about to make a joke.
With a crashing sound, a piece of soil was turned up by Tiankai, and the roots were connected, bringing out a long string of lumpy crops.
Gongsun Jing was shocked.
He made a preliminary estimate and his heart tightened suddenly.
Gao Huai slowly put down his hand, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
That thing called sweet potato, there are about five or six on a bunch. In this way, an acre of land...
Gao Huai was about to ask Gongsun Jing for advice when he heard Tian Kai say in frustration: "The vine has broken again."
He was wondering, what broke it?
"Haha, Mr. Tian, look at me." Zhao Xi said at the side.
Gao Huai turned his head in confusion and saw a long string of sweet potatoes placed in front of Zhao Xi, a densely packed nest of about ten sweet potatoes, covered with soil, which looked amazing.
This area is Gongsun Yan’s experimental field.
An old farmer was specially hired to take care of this piece of land, and fertilizers were supplied in sufficient quantities.
The sweet potato, which was originally a special variety provided by the system, has an extremely frightening yield in this field.
The long string of sweet potatoes made Gao Huai cover his heart fiercely.
"Jing Gong!"
The tone of Gao Huai's voice changed. He turned around to ask Gongsun Jing, but felt his arm heavy.
Gongsun Jing fell towards him with an expressionless face and eyes closed.
"Jing Gong!" Gao Huai hurriedly held him up, thinking, "Didn't you just let him wait and see?"
Why did he fall first?
There was a commotion around him, and several villagers fell down on the left and right.
The doctor next to him hurried forward and pressed a few Suxiao Jiuxin Pills under the tongues of these people.
Apply acupuncture to the chest and move quickly.
Entourages from all the families rushed up, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
After a moment, Gongsun Jing, who was lying on the ground, let out a long breath. When he opened his eyes, his first words were: "dig! Dig them all for me."
With his mouth full of the refreshing medicinal taste of the Quick-acting Jiuxin Pills, he got up from the ground with agility completely befitting his age, and directed all his followers to go down to help.
An anxious village elder had already run over and grabbed Gongsun Jing's sleeve tightly: "Jing Gong, what is this? What is this?"
Gongsun Jing was not in the mood to answer now, he stood on his feet and looked eagerly towards the fields.
Tian Kai was frightened by their fainting and hurriedly came forward to support him.
"Tian Gong, hurry up and find the scale! Hurry." Gongsun Jing urged.
"Okay, okay, don't worry!" Tian Kai supported him with his soft and fat body, and put his left hand on his chest to help him breathe, "I'll go find him right away, don't worry."
Tian Kai is really scared now. It would be such an injustice if one or two of these old men died here.
Zhao Xi organized doctors at the scene to call for pulse to save people. Hearing this, he called an entourage and asked him to go to a nearby farmer's house and ask the regional steward to lend him his name.
Gao Huai had already called his agile followers to get a sweet potato, wiped the mud on his silk robe and put it into his mouth to bite.
It took a long time with his old teeth to take a bite, and when he chewed it carefully, he said with great joy: "It's sweet, crispy, and you can eat it!"
Under his leadership, a group of respectable village elders started chewing the muddy sweet potatoes.
It's good that the teeth are still intact, but two of them are missing. When I gnawed the sweet potato, it was full of saliva and I could only break the skin and taste some flavor.
Gongsun Jing also took one and bit it anxiously.
It didn't bite off, but the left incisor, which had been well protected, was embedded in the sweet potato.
But he seemed not to feel the pain and murmured to himself: "High yield, high yield."
How can this be described as high-yield?
Gongsun Jing suspected that his granddaughter had bad intentions.
Otherwise, we can’t even prepare the healers in advance!
Xin Dao: Do you think that the dead child is a hindrance to him if he is alive?
Gongsun Jing wiped a handful of blood froth from the corners of his lips.
Not a single entourage of the village elders was left behind, and they were all driven off to dig sweet potatoes.
Zhao Xi proposed to go to the village to look for shovels, but was jointly rejected.
So the attendants knelt on the ground one after another, using the same careful techniques as later generations of archaeologists, holding out the sweet potatoes one by one, and blowing away the soil on them.
Even a small beard is reluctant to be removed.
Tian Kai supported Gongsun Jing and sat on the big rock beside the field.
As early as the autumn harvest, he experienced such a scene, so he ordered people to collect some dead leaves and firewood.
Gongsun Jing licked his empty front teeth and gums, his hands trembling in his sleeves.
Can this land produce one thousand catties?
No, no, you can’t expect too much, what about eight hundred pounds?
But even if it’s eight hundred pounds.
When he thought that this thing came from the Gongsun family and was held by the Gongsun family, Gongsun Jing wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.
Soon, I borrowed it and returned it.
After hearing the news, the manager of the area also came over.
The large scales used to weigh the grains were difficult to transport, so I only brought small scales and weighed them in batches and added them together to calculate the total.
So many people were crowded into one acre of land, and soon there was a pile of hills on the edge of the field.
The steward hurriedly took people to weigh it.
Gao Huai threw away his crutch and stood there watching, counting the numbers.
"Jinggong, there are four stones now."
Such a three-stone harvest would be considered a good harvest elsewhere.
But here, the sweet potato hill has just been weighed to a small tip, and there are still all the village elders and their entourage digging hard in the field.
Gongsun Jing took a breath and looked up at the distant sky. A line of clear tears fell down his cheek: "Okay! Okay!"
————————
Let me add here that the units of measurement in the Han Dynasty were confusing.
One stone of the Han Dynasty is approximately equal to one hundred and twenty kilograms of the Han Dynasty.
Han liangjin = modern jin
Therefore, the data in this article are all directly converted data. One stone = 60 pounds in modern times.
These settings were originally explained by the original author of the main website, but the channels have not been synchronized, so I will add a few words.
