Chapter 347 Little Good News (Part [-])
"Where is the water? I'll go wash."

A soldier sitting on the outside stood up and took Qi Ke to the water's edge while stuffing steamed buns into his mouth. After a while, the two came back, and the root of the pig had been washed and peeled.

Qi Ke took a pot to continue, directly peeled thick slices with bare hands with a knife, skewered them with peeled branches and inserted them on the edge of the campfire and roasted them slowly until the surface was charred and dry, and the excess water was gone. Add thick starch, sprinkle a little salt to enhance the taste, and then you can eat it.

The steamed buns are seaweed soup, and the soldiers of the Bai family army who are used to strong flavors think it is too bland. Seeing that Qi Ke's side is better, they all gather around and take a piece of it with gusto.

"The taste of this pig root seems to be different from before? It is thicker and less watery." People with a sensitive sense of taste have tasted the difference.

"Is it because the moisture is dried out?" There are also less sensitive ones, which are satisfied if there is something to eat, and even better if they suit the taste.

"What do you guys eat here is the root of the pig? How big is the wild one? How long has it been since there was no human activity in this mountain forest?"

The officials in Dong'an Prefecture don't know much about wild tubers like pig root, just because they eat them lively, but the people in Donglin County and Anping County still recognize them when they rely on mountains to eat mountains. They were surprised when they heard the name from the soldiers. After all, it is difficult to collect valuable good things in the mountains and forests where people often move.

"It's not wild." Qi Ke tossed a piece of pig root back and forth with both hands, and blew, wanting to eat but afraid of being burned, so he took the time to interject, "I tried to grow it."

"What conditions do you want? Is it difficult to plant? How about the yield?" Bai Qing, who was talking to someone, immediately turned around, and General Mou Shen followed closely behind. The army is very sensitive to topics such as food, especially their Bai Qing The family army has suffered enough from the shortage of food and grass for so many years in the bitter cold land
"Pests and diseases have not yet been discovered, and there is no comparison of the yield. After all, I used to eat wild ones. Anyway, I just fertilize more. The yield per mu is not bad."

After Qi Ke succeeded in digging the roots of pigs in the spiritual realm, it proved that this thing can indeed be planted artificially. She planted a little more in a planting box in the greenhouse arranged in Zhuangzi's back house, and tested it. She felt quite satisfied with the yield. The theoretical yield per mu is no worse than that of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but more specific planting methods have to be tried, and experience and lessons can be slowly summed up in several rounds.

"It's okay, how good is it? Don't be fooled." Bai Qing deliberately bluffed.

"It's okay, but I only proved that this thing can be planted, and more fertilization can increase the weight. I don't know anything else. I have to study the whole field in the mountains. Now I have to say that I can't make it up." Qi Ke knew that Bai Qing was bluffing, so he was not afraid of him at all, so he said with a smile.

"What is the yield of your trial planting?" Mou Shenjiang asked immediately.

"The two pig roots I just peeled came out of a planting box, and more than 20 of them were so big." Qi Ke took a bite of the thick slices in his hand, "Well, the taste is better than wild ones. "

The soldiers who had tasted the root of the pig nodded again and again, especially Bai Qing's personal soldiers, who had eaten it in Six Willow Village many times, they testified aloud.

"The taste is indeed better than what I have eaten before."

"I used to eat wild ones with different tastes. Some were okay and some were astringent. I just ate them, but today this one is really delicious."

"Okay, this matter is up to you to decide, if you want my help, just ask."

Bai Qing didn't ask any more questions. He also ate the root of a pig and knew how filling it was. He didn't expect that it could be used as a grain seed, so he finally met some good things when he came out.
