The girl who wears fast

Chapter 344 I heard that I am the best (31)

Mu Yunchao really made a deal with Zhou Shichu, asking her to study the secret recipe of low-grade starch sausage, which was not difficult for Zhou Shichu, and she researched the secret recipe that Mu Yunchao needed in just a few days , sold directly to him.

Over the past few months, almost all the victims in Cuicheng participated in the construction of the "work-for-relief" infrastructure project. Not only were they able to support themselves, but they also saved some money. By the time these projects were completed, the flood in Licheng would have receded long ago. But these victims had no intention of going back, and most of them stayed in Cuicheng.

Mu Yunchao gained a large population, and the newly reclaimed fields were enough for these victims to cultivate, so Cuicheng became more and more prosperous.

While Zhou Shichu was slowly expanding her food shop, Mu Yunchao was also slowly expanding his territory. He is both a general and a king, and he knows how to use people well. He has recruited many capable people He is a go-getter, so when fighting for territory, he always loses less and wins more, and his territory is getting bigger and bigger.

Li Wei's official position has also been promoted. He is no longer a small lieutenant. He has become General Xuanwei.

However, although he is proud of his officialdom, Li Wei's family affairs are still in a mess. His son is getting more and more dandy, and he wants to find a virtuous woman, but his step-wife is either busy fighting or can't find a suitable one. In short, he is still a bachelor.

As Mu Yunchao's territory became bigger and bigger, there were more and more restaurants in Zhou Shichu. Almost every time Mu Yunchao occupied a city, she would go to that city to open a store, and she would earn money by opening chain stores. A lot of money.

And her potatoes and sweet potatoes have been tried and improved over and over again, and finally succeeded in growing a type suitable for this space-time farming. Zhou Shichu has slowly let the farmers in the village plant these new crops.

Those farmers went from being skeptical at the beginning to seeing the harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes with their own eyes, and then eating them in person. After confirming that this is really a new grain with a higher yield than rice and wheat and a stronger sense of satiety, they don’t need to spend time at the beginning of the week. Persecuted, they themselves can't wait to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The money earned by Zhou Shichu in the past few years has been used to buy farms. After the successful localization of potatoes and sweet potatoes this time, she has planted these two crops in all her farms, because she remembers wishing that the world It seems that next year, severe droughts will occur in the entire Northwest and Northeast regions of the world, food cannot be grown, and famine will ensue. Many people will die of hunger and thirst.

And Mu Yunchao's territory was also in an area severely drought-stricken, and Mu Yunchao's vitality was seriously injured by this. After the drought and famine, it took five years of recuperation to recover.

It can be said that this drought and famine had a great impact, delaying the time for Mu Yunchao to unify the world for several years.

Of course, how long it takes Mu Yunchao to compete for the world has little to do with Zhou Shichu, what she cares about is that her new grain can save many people and earn enough merit.

It is really because of this that she spent a lot of effort to make the localized cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes one year before the drought and famine, so that more people can be prepared and save more rations.

Now that the new grain has been successfully cultivated, Zhou Shichu didn't make a fuss, but went directly to Mu Yunchao, telling him that he had a new grain with high yield and good taste, and hoped that Mu Yunchao could promote it.

Mu Yunchao would definitely not believe her easily. After all, this matter is related to the rations of the people in the world. He would never dare to make fun of it. If something goes wrong, half of the country he managed to conquer will be lost again. Yes, all previous efforts have been wasted.

But he is also a bold and careful person with deep pockets. When he heard Zhou Shichu's report, he personally took people to her farm, intending to see with his own eyes whether there were really new grains.

If it is fake, Zhou Shichu will not be good; but what if it is true?New grains, this is a good thing that can be famous for thousands of years, so his success rate in competing for the world will be several percent higher.

That's why Mu Yunchao paid so much attention to Zhou Shichu's words.

Zhou Shichu brought a group of people to his farm, they came just in time, it was the time to harvest potatoes, a group of farmers in full swing were digging potatoes in the field, and those potatoes were as big as an adult's fist, round and round, Uprooting a seedling brought a nest of seven or eight potatoes, and the harvest was extremely gratifying. The farmers were all beaming and spared no effort to collect the potatoes, because the feeling of a good harvest was enough to make them forget their physical fatigue.

"These are new crops? The yield is very good!" Mu Yunchao squatted down and imitated the farmer next to him to pull up potato seedlings. He didn't need to use too much force to pull up a nest of potatoes at once. I couldn't hide my excitement anymore.

"Yes, this is called a potato. The way to eat it is very simple. After boiling, peel the skin and eat it with salt, or cut it into slices or strips and fry it." Zhou Shichu introduced.

The other staff members were stunned when they saw this bumper harvest, as if they couldn't believe their eyes, they just stared at the farmers who harvested potatoes, which made the farmers so cautious that they didn't even bother to work. So neat.

"What is the yield of this mu of land? Have you weighed it?" Mu Yunchao asked Zhou Shichu expectantly. In fact, just looking at the harvest, he knew that the yield could not be lower than that of rice and wheat. , but he wants to know how high the output can be.

Zhou Shichu showed a meaningful smile and said, "The yield per mu is three thousand to four thousand catties."

"What? Three thousand catties to four thousand catties? You didn't lie to me?" Mu Yunchao almost held his breath when he heard this number. Before he came, he knew that the yield of rice in ordinary fields was five hundred catties per mu. Well, good fertile land can only produce [-] catties, but these potatoes can produce [-] to [-] catties per mu!It is six, seven, or eight times the yield of rice!

Could Mu Yunchao not be excited when he heard this?This means that the land that used to only support a family of three can support eighteen to twenty-four people if new grains are planted!
Because of the wars these years, their rations have been very short. The soldiers have to tighten their belts even when they go to the battlefield, but now Zhou Shichu brought him these new types of grain, which can just solve the problem of food shortage. It is like sending charcoal in the snow, Mu Yun Chao almost burst into tears of gratitude to Zhou Shichu.

"I'm not lying to you. In fact, if the care is more careful and the land is more fertile, the yield will be higher. It's just that the land in my village is only of average soil quality, so there is only this yield." Zhou Shichu said frankly.

"If you don't believe me, you can just ask your people to harvest potatoes from an acre of land and weigh them yourself, so you know I haven't exaggerated the yield." Zhou Shichu was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he asked him to find someone to harvest them.
