Chapter 67 Crazy Potatoes

Everyone stared intently, and when they came back to their senses, they all asked why Shen Xingchen's wheelchair was different from the ones they had seen before.

Shen Xingchen smiled, "This is the latest style. Xiaoxuan, please forward it to everyone."

During this period of time, the weather was fine and the road was flat. Even though Xiaoxuan was small, he could still easily drive the wheelchair by himself.

The villagers thought that although the wheelchair was high-end, it still needed someone to push it, but now they found that Xiaoxuan could turn the wheelchair by himself, and they were surprised from ear to ear.

Some villagers who were originally watching the excitement from a distance were also attracted, and rushed over to join in the excitement, and followed them all the way to the field.

Su Jin, Su Rui and the old man Han Shan were also among them.

Su Yinan was in a hurry to go back to Wanhe Mountain to make a repeating bow and crossbow. When he left, he only talked about the repeating bow and crossbow, and he didn't have time to pick up his wheelchair.

The old man Hanshan has practiced medicine for many years and knew the benefits of this kind of wheelchair. When he heard about it suddenly, he was extremely amazed.

He has always been unruly, as soon as he came over, he immediately handed Xiaoxuan to Su Rui, and occupied the wheelchair for various experiments.

This wheelchair can still be controlled by the person sitting on it to move backward or turn?
The villagers were even more shocked.

Shen Xingchen didn't care about them, and started work with ten helpers as if nothing happened.

The helpers are also very curious about the wheelchair, but they are very simple and know that they should concentrate on working at this time.

As for the story of the wheelchair, I will know it later.

Seeing that the helpers didn't desert, Shen Xingchen was very satisfied, and patiently taught them, "Remember to leave two eyelets on each piece, be careful not to damage the eyelets."

Her preparations for these wastelands are excellent, not only deep plowing and raking, but also sufficient fertilizer.

There is no chemical fertilizer in this world. She deliberately collected a large amount of plant ash, pig manure and cow manure, just to increase the potato production, which will amaze all eyes.

The helpers thought that potatoes were grown one by one.

Seeing that Shen Xingchen asked them to cut up the whole potatoes first, and only half of them were germinated potatoes, and nearly half were not germinated... They were very surprised.

This planting method... has never been seen or heard before, is it reliable?

It should be reliable, Shen Xingchen came here according to that magical travel book, besides, the previous planting method was not successful.

Thinking of this, the helpers cheered up.

Life is really easy.

The furrows have already been opened, and there is no need to fertilize. We only need to be divided into three groups, one group is responsible for cutting the buds, the other is responsible for putting the cut buds into the furrows opened a few days ago, and the other is responsible for feeding The buds are covered with soil.

Seeing that the work is so easy and simple, the villagers who watched the excitement lost interest in wheelchairs and took the initiative to help.

Worried about Shen Xingchen's misunderstanding, they explained sincerely, "Second Lady Shen, don't get me wrong, we don't need wages, and we never deliberately play tricks, we just think it's fun."

Shen Xingchen didn't care.

Anyway, next year's potato harvest will be bumper, and everyone will join the army of planting potatoes. It is good for everyone to learn early.

What's more, today she can finish work early.

Seeing that there were a lot of people helping for free, she changed her mind and consulted with the village chief and his wife, "Uncle, aunt, please ask for me to see if I can recruit them. I will recruit another ten people until noon, regardless of food. Ten pennies per person.

As for those of you who invited me yesterday, you will continue to grow vegetables for me in the afternoon, and the salary of [-] Wen remains the same. "

The villagers who were planning to do nothing, "..."

Happiness comes so suddenly.

……

After finishing work at noon, the village head asked Shen Xingchen quietly, "Girl Xingchen, can I plant some potatoes with you?"

The family likes to eat potatoes very much. Because they are too expensive, they can only eat them once in a while, so they are particularly interested in potato cultivation.

And there happened to be a piece of sandy soil behind their house, which was ignored before, but now it is very annoying.

Shen Xingchen couldn't wish more, the more people he planted, the less trouble he would have in the future.

"Of course you can, but the sowing period is almost over. In order to increase the yield, you have to hurry to buy potato seeds."

"Okay, I'll go back and make arrangements."

Immediately after returning, the village head called his son, wife and close family members together for a meeting.

"I plan to grow some potatoes with Mrs. Shen, what do you think?"

He thought that there must be some people who objected, but in the end, everyone was very excited and agreed.

"Really? I think so too, brother, how much are you going to plant?"

"I also think this is a good idea. The thing that Second Lady Shen is optimistic about is absolutely reliable. Besides, potatoes can be planted on wasteland? Apart from planting money, we don't need any other capital."

"Yes, during this period of time, because of Mrs. Shen, we have a lot of money. Even if the plantation fails, we can still lose money, but if it succeeds, we will get rich."

"..."

Seeing that there was no objection, the village head became even more excited, "Yes, I have heard people say that one mu of land in Chengye Country can yield one thousand catties, and if the planting is successful, we can harvest one hundred catties for one subdivision of land, and one catty only counts as eight." Wenqian is also eight coins."

Shen Xingchen said yesterday that only ten catties of potato seeds are needed for one mu of land, and ten catties can be exchanged for hundreds of catties. The high-priced crops are very worthwhile.

The village head originally wanted to increase the confidence of relatives and friends in planting, but he did not expect that this sentence was a bit too forceful.

After listening to his calculation, several people said, "Why don't we just have more varieties?"

"Yes, I also think that a single field is too little. Anyway, even if you plant an acre, it only costs less than one tael of silver, but if you earn money, it is nearly ten taels."

If the price is good, more than ten taels.

worth the gamble.

"..."

At this time, the oldest former patriarch of the Guo family said, "I also think that we can grow more varieties. You should think about it this way. If the planting is successful, there will be more people planting it next year. At that time, it will be difficult to find potatoes, and the price will definitely increase. There is a high possibility of more than a dozen pennies per catty, what do you think?"

Everyone in the Guo family, "..."

right!right!That's right, ginger is still old and spicy.

The important matter of the Guo family was quickly discussed.

Everyone decided that each family should plant at least one mu.

Some of them are very ambitious, and they didn't say it clearly, but the preparations for the secret poking should be as varied as possible.

Moreover, they reached an agreement to temporarily block the news until their potatoes were bought.

Immediately after the meeting adjourned, they sent someone out to collect potatoes.

The grain store in the town sells potatoes from time to time, and almost every grain store in the county has a supply every day.

Worried about the increase in the price of potatoes due to leaked news, they decided to go directly to the county today.

What they didn't expect was that the price of potatoes had doubled from ten cents a catty to twenty cents a catty.

It's the autumn harvest season, and neither our country nor Chengye's country has any major famines this year. It's fucking more expensive than meat all of a sudden. It's unusual. It shouldn't be something caused by Shen Xingchen planting potatoes, right?

Village head Guo asked the shopkeeper in great doubt, "Do you know why the price has risen so much at once?"

The price of potatoes suddenly increased, and the shopkeeper accidentally made a lot of money. He was in a good mood, and replied with a smile, "It is said that some time ago, someone suddenly bought a large number of potatoes, including both sprouted and ungerminated ones, causing the price to rise sharply.

But now people don't accept it anymore, and it is estimated that the price will drop soon. We are worried about the price drop and dare not buy more. If you don't need it, I suggest you come back in a few days. "
