Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 88 The Great Harvest

"I said it's not good for the two of us to stand and watch like this." Xu Qingfeng said.

"That's right, let's find a shady place to sit and watch." Li Jin said, and then the two found an empty space and sat down.

Li Jin took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to Xu Qingfeng.

The two just smoked while watching the soldiers work.

But when the soldiers dug out the potatoes, they were all stunned.

"Why is this potato so big?!" A soldier murmured looking at the dug out potato.

Although he had seen big potatoes before, it was unheard of for so many of them to be almost the same size.

The three monitors were even more excited and came to Li Jin and the others with the biggest potato.

"Platoon leader, the potatoes in this field grow so big!!" Liu Changshun said while holding the potatoes.

"I grew up so big, and I have never seen such a big potato." Zhao Ming also said, if all of them were this big, the yield per mu of land would be frighteningly high!

"What a fuss." Xu Qingfeng smiled all over his face, very calm.

"Deputy platoon leader, did you already know?!" Zhao Ming asked after seeing Xu Qingfeng's calm appearance.

"Yesterday, Lao Xu and I came to dig ahead of time." Li Jin replied, "Okay, let's go to work quickly."

"Yes!" Several squad leaders returned to the field to continue digging potatoes.

Near noon, almost all the potatoes in the six acres of land were dug out by the soldiers, and there was still about a fraction of the potatoes that had not been dug out.

They are all happily filling potatoes into sacks.

For a while, there were bags of potatoes in the field, and there were a lot of them.

"Okay, let's finish here, first move half back, and move the remaining half after dinner." Li Jin ordered.

"Yes!" A group of soldiers replied one after another. They carried hundreds of catties of potatoes and began to go back to the training ground.

After returning to the barracks, the soldiers were guessing how many catties of potatoes this time.

"I think the potatoes this time, at least one mu of land is worth six thousand catties!" A soldier said while eating.

"Fuck you, such a large potato is only 7000 catties per acre, you are confused, I feel that less than [-] catties per mu!" Another soldier began to refute.

To be honest, they couldn't estimate how many catties of potatoes were in one mu of land they dug. Although the family had grown potatoes before, they didn't grow many of them.

Moreover, most of the potatoes grown are not particularly large, unlike the potatoes here, which are six or seven, and the largest is estimated to be more than a catty.

At around twelve noon, Li Jin called four soldiers and moved four large water tanks there.

Xu Qingfeng looked puzzled when he saw it.

"Platoon leader, why don't you put potatoes in a water tank? Aren't there still a lot of sacks?" Xu Qingfeng said.

There was a lot of sacks they got, and they were not full yet, so there was no need for a water tank.

"These big tanks are of great use to me," Li Jin said.

"What are you using it for?!" Xu Qingfeng asked.

"Potatoes."

Xu Qingfeng: "???"

"What I want to pack is a single potato, we can't just be happy." Li Jin said, there are so many potatoes in a single plant, why don't you let Li Yunlong pull it out with his own hands and feel it.

Then when Li Yunlong sent someone to the headquarters, the boss was not allowed to pull it out himself. Later, even the commander-in-chief might pull it out himself.

"So that's how it is." Xu Qingfeng suddenly realized, and it is true that this kind of joy cannot be felt by them alone, but also by the superiors.

Besides, no one would believe just how many catties the potato yields per mu, and asking them to pull it out in person would be even more convincing.

"Platoon leader, you have a good brain, and you can turn fast enough." Xu Qingfeng boasted, and Li Jinwan understood the truth of this worldly experience.

"Of course, otherwise why would you be your platoon leader, hahaha."

Soon, they returned to the field again. When some soldiers wanted to dig out all the potatoes in that part of the field, they were stopped by Li Jin.

"Don't dig the last six plants, I'll come in person," Li Jin said.

"Yes!" The soldier nodded.

Now, Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng carefully started digging potatoes.

The potatoes of this plant must be guaranteed to be on the root without damage, this is the best way.

It took Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng more than ten minutes to dig the six potatoes. They carefully planted the potatoes into a water tank filled with soil.

Three plants in each of the two tanks.

After the soldiers moved the potatoes, Li Jin asked them to go to the sweet potato field and continue digging sweet potatoes.

When the soldiers saw the many and thick sweet potatoes, they were no longer as restless as before. After all, they had seen the big potatoes, and the big sweet potatoes were expected.

Li Jin planted sweet potatoes in the water tanks again, still three plants in each water tank. Some soldiers were very surprised why Li Jin planted sweet potatoes in the water tanks.

Li Jin only said one thing about this, which is very useful.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, a group of soldiers returned to the barracks. All the sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field had been dug up and moved back to the barracks.

Sacks of sweet potatoes and potatoes lay in the open space.

After the meal, Xu Qingfeng and his staff began to calculate the weight of all the potatoes.

At about ten o'clock, all the weight of the potatoes came out, and it was [-] catties.

Seeing this data, even Xu Qingfeng was stunned. The yield per mu is more than 9000 catties?This yield was higher than he thought.

He thought it would be extremely high to be able to produce more than 8000 catties per mu, but he didn't expect it to be nine thousand catties.

At this time, a soldier came over with paper in his hand.

"Deputy platoon leader, the weight of sweet potatoes has also been weighed, a total of [-] catties!" When the soldier said this, his voice was trembling.

He had never seen sweet potatoes with a yield of nine thousand catties per mu. It was unimaginable. How did this happen? !

"Hiss... this time I really don't have to worry about food and drink." Xu Qingfeng gasped, he was very excited, if one day these potatoes and sweet potatoes can be planted all over the country, then no one will be hungry.

No one will starve to death because the disaster year is coming and there is no food at home.

"Old Xu, how is it? Have you figured it out?!" Li Jin came over at this time and asked.

"We've figured it out. The yield per mu of sweet potatoes and potatoes is as high as [-] catties." Xu Qingfeng said.

"That's not bad." Li Jin looked very calm. He would not doubt the seeds given by the system if the yield per mu exceeded [-] jin.

"Why do you feel that you are not excited?" Xu Qingfeng wondered. When he first found out, he almost wanted to jump up. Why did he come to Li Jin's place, acting like a normal person.

"Of course I'm excited, I'm excited in my heart, but I don't show it to you. After all, the output of nine thousand catties per mu is already ridiculously high.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have suspected that I was dreaming! "Li Jin said.
