"Yes, that's it. Like taro, this thing grows underground, but its yield is quite high. If we plant it, we won't be afraid that there will be no food to eat." Gu Chengrui got up and said.

Then he said, "Wait a minute, I'll get one for you to see."

After finishing speaking, he went directly to the kitchen, and then asked Zhou Ying for a piece of ordinary-sized sweet potato. After washing it, he took a knife and went back to the main room, saying, "This is it, you can try it too."

When the village head saw the white lump weighing over a catty in his hand, he said in surprise, "This thing is really big, how much can one tree produce?"

"Three to eight or nine, ranging in size."

"There are so many, how high is the yield?" The patriarch exclaimed, and according to his instructions, that sweet potato should yield two to ten catties.

"It's quite a lot. When we planted last spring, the yield per mu was less than 10,000 catties. When we planted again in summer, the water couldn't keep up, so we harvested less than 2,000 catties."

"That's not a lot. An acre of wheat can only produce about a hundred catties. If this is done, it will be much more credited than the waterwheel." The village chief said excitedly.

Then asked: "How many seeds do you have here?"

"I also saw its value, so I didn't dare to spoil one except to taste it, and now I keep all of it, which is about 220,000 catties.

But I can't take it all out, I have to plant some on Zhuangzi.

But this kind of thing has strong vitality. After the leaves grow out, it can grow roots by itself, so after planting for about a month, the leaves can be cut and planted again.

This may also be the reason, so the output will drop in the second crop. "

"That's pretty good." After the village chief finished speaking, he quickly put it on the table and said, "Quick, let's try it."

Gu Chengrui nodded and cut it open with a knife, letting each of them eat a piece.

After the village chief finished eating, he nodded, "To be honest, there is some firewood, but it has no strange smell, and it tastes better than taro."

"Indeed, but there's nothing wrong with eating this thing, right?" the patriarch nodded in agreement.

"I tried it last year. If I eat it for a long time, I will experience symptoms such as flatulence and acid reflux, but it is non-toxic. As long as we eat it reasonably with food, it will become a staple food."

"Okay, that's good. As for what you said, it's nothing compared to filling your stomach." The village chief said.

"It's true that acid reflux comes from a hungry stomach. As for flatulence, to be honest, it's not a big deal for us farmers, just run a few laps in the field."

"Then it's decided. This year, we will plant one or two acres per family. Anyway, the villagers will not starve to death. Let them arrange the rest." The village chief nodded.

"Okay, I will arrange seedlings in these two days. The peppers will be doubled in size. Whoever grows vegetables can come to us to receive seeds, and it will be the same as last year."

"Yes, yes, you can also grow some fast-growing vegetables. If you have some income, you can buy some food for a while."

Next, the three of them parted ways after drinking happily.

In the space, Zhou Ying prepared rapeseed, spinach, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, amaranth, and cumin seeds.

Of course, cumin is the most, so she won't have to charge a high price in the future.

The next day, after Zhou Ying handed over the seeds to the patriarch, she went to Zhuangzi to get busy after finishing her work in the restaurant.

But on Zhuangzi, she planned to grow sweet potatoes in addition to raising seedlings, even on the grasslands, so that people and the cattle and sheep raised would be full.
