Three days later, this day is still one day away from the time when the potatoes are mature according to the system.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the training ground.
The soldiers are training hard
Li Jin picked up the shovel and called Xu Qingfeng.
"Old Xu, let's go and see how big the potatoes have grown." Li Jin said.
Although he knew that potatoes and sweet potatoes would be harvested tomorrow, if he directly said that these two things would be mature in two months, Xu Qingfeng probably would not believe it.
So, bring Xu Qingfeng here in person, dig out the potatoes, and let him see it with his own eyes before he will believe it.
"How big can it be, at most the size of a duck egg." Xu Qingfeng replied as he followed Li Jin. It was only two months ago, so it would be good if the potatoes could be the size of a duck egg.
"That's not necessarily true. The radishes we had before could be harvested in a month." Li Jin said with a smile.
The carrots and radishes I planted were harvested almost a month ago, and they grew much larger than ordinary radishes.
As for lettuce, rape flowers, etc., they have planted them twice and harvested them twice. In the past two months, the soldiers have basically eaten vegetables pulled from the ground.
Xu Qingfeng was silent for a while, and then asked, "Who did you get this kind of seeds from? Why do the vegetables you grow mature so quickly?"
"I didn't say that. Well, I got it from a businessman. At that time, he told me that his seeds were carefully cultivated and matured faster than other vegetables. In fact, I didn’t really believe it at the time.
But if it was true, Then our Eighth Route Army would not have to worry about food, so I took a gamble, but I didn't expect that I won." Li Jin lied.
"Fortunately, you chose to believe it, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat vegetables so quickly." Xu Qingfeng nodded, feeling that it was lucky that Li Jin believed it, otherwise he would have missed a chance.
"Speaking of where the businessman is from, is it possible for him to join the Eighth Route Army? Of course, either to let him fight, or to cultivate high-quality seeds for our Eighth Route Army." Xu Qingfeng said.
According to what Li Jin said, this businessman is simply a talent, and he can actually cultivate such powerful seeds.
If the businessman could be allowed to join the Eighth Route Army and cultivate more short-term mature vegetables and other seeds, that would be a good thing for the benefit of the Eighth Route Army and the people.
"Well, I guess it's unlikely to be found. The businessman doesn't seem to be from here.
But there should still be a chance to meet him in the future." Li Jin Saying this, how else could he say that he would take out the system and give it to Xu Qingfeng?
"Tsk, what a pity that such a talent did not join the Eighth Route Army." Xu Qingfeng sighed.
As an authentic farmer, he knows better than anyone else what it means to farmers to be able to cultivate such short-term maturity and drought-tolerant seeds.
As long as these seeds are available, farmers will not have to worry about going hungry at any time, even if they are notIt doesn't matter if it can mature in a short period of time. The most important thing is that it is more drought-resistant, which is extremely important.
Not long after, the two came to the land where potatoes were grown.
The potato seedlings are growing very well, and the green leaves are very big. At a glance, they are green.
Li Jin walked into the field and came to a potato seedling. He immediately dug down carefully with the shovel.
Soon, he took out the potatoes with their roots and mud.
"Here, why is this potato so big?" After Xu Qingfeng saw it, his eyes widened and he stammered.
It’s so outrageous. There are eleven or two potatoes growing under this plant. Each one weighs at least six or seven taels. One of them is bigger. It seems to weigh at least a pound.
"Depending on the situation, these potatoes should be edible." Li Jin said with a smile.
"This is simply unbelievable. If there were potatoes like this under each plant, then one acre of land would weigh at least eight thousand kilograms." Xu Qingfeng was trembling a little when he spoke.
He had never heard of potatoes with a yield of more than 8,000 kilograms per acre. In the past, potatoes grown at 4,000 kilograms per acre were considered high yields. Most of them were two or three thousand kilograms. .
Eight thousand kilograms, he is probably living in a dream
Xu Qingfeng immediately grabbed the shovel from Li Jin’s hand and started digging. He dug a plant one or two meters apart. He dug five or six plants in a row before stopping.
Looking back, the weight and number of potatoes in each plant are almost the same as those in the first plant.
"I'm not dreaming," Xu Qingfeng looked at the large potatoes dug out and became suspicious.
Then he walked towards Li Jin and pinched Li Jin's arm hard.
"Ah, shit, Lao Xu, why are you so crazy and pinching me?" Li Jin screamed.
"It will hurt, hahaha, it's not a dream, it's great, our Eighth Route Army will never have to go hungry again, hahaha" Xu Qingfeng laughed.
Li Jin became speechless and said, "Pinch yourself."
However, Xu Qingfeng smiled but suddenly started to cry.
"Hey, Lao Xu, you won't cry." Li Jin was stunned for a while and said quickly. Although the output was very high, he wouldn't be so excited that he cried.
"Why did potatoes with such a high yield appear so late? If this thing had existed back then, my brother would not have starved to death during the disaster years." Xu Qingfeng cried sadly. His brother was in the disaster years. At that time, he starved to death because there was nothing to eat at home.
If there had been such a high-yield thing at that time, there would not have been no food during the disaster years, and his brother would not have died
Li Jin felt sad for a while, he didn't know How to comfort Xu Qingfeng? He reached out and patted Xu Qingfeng's shoulder.
In this era, there is already war and chaos, and in disaster years, many people starve to death. It is no wonder that Xu Qingfeng will think of what happened when he saw potatoes with such a high yield.
Indeed, if there had been potatoes with such a high yield at that time, many people would not have starved to death.
Xu Qingfeng criedAfter a while, he wiped his tears and choked with sobs, "I'm sorry, platoon leader, I couldn't hold it back for a moment."
"It's okay, it's all over. We can drive the Japanese out later." Let the common people have enough food," Li Jin said.
Although he has never experienced a family member starving to death, he can imagine that Xu Qingfeng must have been desperate at the time.
So, when Xu Qingfeng saw potatoes with such a high yield per acre, he couldn't hold back.
"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded seriously.
"Let's go to the sweet potato field." Li Jin said and walked towards the sweet potato field not far away.
Walking into the sweet potato field, Li Jin directly started to pull out the huge sweet potatoes with their roots and soil attached. Some of them were still buried in the soil and had not been pulled out.
Li Jin used a shovel to dig out the sweet potatoes inside.
There are five or six sweet potatoes in total. Each sweet potato weighs more than one kilogram. The largest one weighs two kilograms.
"Hey, is the yield of this thing so high?" Xu Qingfeng took a breath. Compared with potatoes, sweet potatoes satisfy hunger better.
Li Jin is not surprised. These seeds are all high-quality seeds provided by the system, so it is surprising that the yield is low.
