Chapter 46 I am Aunt Su
"Sweet potato? Is it something from other countries?" Zheng Tian asked curiously.

"Yes. There is a new continent to the east of the sea. It is vast and rich in resources. There are many high-yielding crops that are not found in the Tang Dynasty." Su Qingqing pointed to the fields that have been planted on both sides. "The sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns grown on this hillside are all yes."

The cultivation of these crops does not have high requirements on terrain, but only on the fertility of the land.

Before Su Qingqing planted the seeds, she asked Erlang Tian to buy a lot of decomposed cow dung for fertilization.

In addition to this organic fertilizer, she also adds water god energy when irrigating, in order to maintain quality and quantity.

Zheng Tian was very interested in everything Su Qingqing said, and he was very good at grasping the key points: "May I ask, little lady, how high is the so-called high yield?"

In modern times, the normal yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes per mu is three to five thousand kilograms. With high-yielding varieties and scientific management methods, it can even reach nearly ten thousand kilograms.

The corn yield is slightly less, but it is still eight or nine hundred pounds. If it is managed scientifically, it can be doubled.

However, in ancient times, Su Qingqing estimated that based on her own level of farming on paper, the output would be halved.

Then he silently changed the number of kilograms into the Tang Dynasty unit of measurement "shi" and replied: "The yield of corn per mu is about four to five shi, and the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes should be [-] or [-] shi."

Before Zheng Tian could speak, Chen Zonghai, Zhang, Tian Youmi and several other people from the village who came to help with farming all exclaimed: "Fifteen or six stones!!!"

This little lady has such a big voice!Do you know the concept of fifteen or six stones per mu? !
You must know that for a long time in ancient times, the yield of grain per mu was only about two stones!
If there really is a grain seed that yields fifteen or six stones per acre, it would be nothing short of a miracle and super auspicious. The people of the world could even rely on it to survive famine!

Chen Zonghai took a step forward excitedly and asked: "Do you really mean what you said? These sweet potatoes and potatoes can really produce fifteen or six dan per mu?"

Su Qingqing said "hmm" without further explanation, whether to believe it or not.

Zheng Tian looked at Su Qingqing's expression and felt that she did not look like someone who was just talking nonsense. He was frightened and suddenly smiled and said: "I wonder how the little lady got these grains? Can you tell me? Such high-yielding auspiciousness should be spread The world, so that all people in the world can benefit.”

Su Qingqing thought that because you saved my life, I would give it to you.

But just as she was about to say that she would pick it up in two days, she changed her mind: "After two or three months, these planted seeds will grow, and I can give you some as planting food."

Among them, only corn is not easy to save seeds, because Su Qingqing bought high-yield sweet corn with relatively high technological content, and she would need to go to the farmer's store to buy seeds the next year.

The rest of the potatoes and sweet potatoes can be grown by yourself.

When the time comes, she can transplant corn from modern times little by little, and just transplant crystal powder corn that is suitable for planting in the south.The shelf life is five years, which is very good.

Anyway, no matter what kind they are, these grains are considered high-yielding crops.

After listening to Su Qingqing's words, Zheng Tian leaned over and gave her another cross-hand salute, saying solemnly: "Young lady, you are just!"

"It takes a little effort." Su Qingqing said calmly.

Zheng Tian looked at Su Qingqing's face as pretty as a peach in spring, and then thought of the scene when she suddenly fell into the water that day, and suddenly seemed to think of something.

It is unlikely that a rural place would produce two legends.

Then he asked, "Are you the hermit queen Su who cured the rice blast?"

When Zheng Tian said this, Chen Zonghai also felt like it. Only such a person was worthy of the reputation of "Aunt Su", and he immediately stared at Su Qingqing with burning eyes.

"Well, I have cured the rice blast, but I have an older brother at home who likes to be a knight errant traveling around the world." Su Qingqing made up a sentence casually, "My surname is Su and my name is Qingqing. You can call me by my name. Or Mrs. Su." I'm really not used to hearing "Auntie, Auntie," and it makes her feel like a bad fan is calling her a bad name, which is uncomfortable.

Anyway, she has the final say about her family situation, and no one else can falsify it except listening.

Zheng Tian is not only interested in high-yielding crops, but also in the New World as she calls it.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Brother Ling is a ranger, so he must have brought these high-yielding grains back from the New World? I really want to meet Brother Ling if I have the chance."

Su Qingqing said "hmm" and thought to herself, "Just make up your mind."

A few people talked in the field for a while, and then Zheng Tian took Chen Zonghai and his subordinates and servants to transform into a farmhouse man and help Su Qingqing farm the land.

With more people and greater strength, sweet potatoes and other crops were soon planted on this slope.

Su Qingqing also left a sweet potato vine and several sprouted potato tubers and gave them to Zheng Tian so that he could plant them in a fertile garden and see the yield for himself.

When she handed these two things to Zheng Tian, ​​she suddenly felt a shock in her mind, and the panel appeared in the void without being called out.

Su Qingqing felt dizzy for a while. After she recovered, her dark eyes stared straight at Zheng Tian.

"what happened?"

Although Zheng Tian appears to be a weak and handsome scholar, in fact he is a gentleman who is proficient in all six arts and is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He can lead troops in battles and defeat Huang Chao's rebels.

Therefore, he was naturally sensitive to the scrutiny of others, so he immediately turned his head and looked at Su Qingqing.

Su Qingqing was silent, looking at the void panel, then at Zheng Tian, ​​and found that the other party could not see the panel like others, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought this panel was summoned because of Zheng Tian!

It turns out that there was a change on the panel. Just this time, the sun value suddenly increased by fifty points!
Before applying pesticides, the sun's value skyrocketed. In a day and a half, she had saved up to fifty points.

I didn’t go back in time immediately, I just felt that the farming life in ancient times was easier.After all, once she returns to modern times, she will face evil intentions from all sides and overcome obstacles.

But now, just by handing Zheng Tian a sweet potato vine and three sprouted potato tubers, the sun suddenly reached fifty points!
What does this mean?Is it because of the spread of crops to ancient Homo sapiens?
Su Qingqing was puzzled and would have to try again in the future.

After confirming that Zheng Tian could not see the void panel, Su Qingqing relaxed and said casually: "It's okay."

Zheng Tian's dark eyes glanced at Su Qingqing, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he smiled slightly, but didn't say anything else.

"Ms. Su cured the rice blast and benefited the people, and your brother brought high-yielding crops from outside the East China Sea. Chen will definitely report to the court and ask for credit for you."

Chen Zonghai worked hard for Su Qingqing for a long time, and his back ached from exhaustion.

But of course he wouldn't show it, and he finally started to talk before leaving.

"Yes." Su Qingqing promised to give him medicine to treat rice blast, and had already asked Tian Youmi to go back to the village to find Tian to get it.
