Chapter 1919: Trouble

The more than 1,700 kilograms of cassava are all good, and there is a pile of mostly rotten cassava not far away.

Ye Dakou said: "If this pile of cassava hadn't rotten, the total amount could be even more."

Qin Sanlang looked at the pile of rotten cassava and ordered: "Bring a sack, pack the pile of rotten cassava and weigh it. I want to know the accurate yield per mu?"

"Yes." Bu Dahe asked the soldiers to pack the pile of rotten cassava, which contained seven sacks: "Carry it over and weigh it."

The soldiers spent another quarter of an hour weighing eight sacks of rotten cassava.

"Yes, eight hundred and twenty-two kilograms... plus the previous one thousand, seven hundred and eighty-six kilograms, the total is two thousand six hundred and eight kilograms!" Ye Dakou reported the number and couldn't believe it himself.

One acre of land weighs more than 2,600 kilograms!

If the rotten cassava had been intact, it would have weighed more.

"My God, it's close to three thousand kilograms. This, this is too much." Bu Dahe was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time. These cassava are still wild. If they are carefully taken care of and some fertilizer is added, the yield per mu can be three thousand kilograms. Kilograms are a no-brainer.

The yield per mu is three thousand catties. How many people can this feed?

Bu Dahe was trembling with excitement.

Qin Sanlang was very happy. He looked at Gu Jinli, held her hand and said, "Xiaoyu, you found something good, thank you."

If cassava could be grown all over Dachu, even if Dachu suffered another disaster, there would be no more tragic starvation in the fields!

Jinli was also pleasantly surprised and said with a smile: "Don't thank me. I didn't invent this. It was grown by the land itself. It has been growing on this land for thousands of years. It's just that you didn't think about it before." Just plant them."

It's such a pity. During the drought in the northwest seven years ago, everyone was afraid that cassava was poisonous and did not dare to eat it when they saw it. If someone had known how to eat cassava, they would have saved many victims.

However, what was even more pity came... Xiaoping was happy to see them so excited, so he hesitated for a while, pointed at the cassava and said, "But they are poisonous and cannot be eaten."

Widow Xiao was the first to shout: "Nephew, nephew's wife, what are you doing with these poisons? Do you want to poison us?! Don't say that these ghost potatoes are not poisonous. I heard the old man tell me when I was a child, in the northwest There are many people here who have died from eating ghost potatoes!"

"Mom, what you said is too far-fetched. My sister-in-law is so fierce that she won't be afraid of what you said. You said that the freeloading orphan named Xiao Yantai was almost poisoned to death." Xiao Xiaomei Supporting Widow Xiao, she whispered a reminder.

"My little sister is right." Widow Xiao hurriedly said to Gu Jinli: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, let's not talk about the distance, let's just talk about what happened yesterday. The little inkstone was almost poisoned by the ghost potato, and it is still on the kang. Aren't you afraid of lying down? Hurry and take away these harmful poisons. What if the smell of this poison wafts out and poisons us all to death?!"

He kicked Uncle Qin again and said, "You are mute. Say a few words to your nephew."

Hum, she found out clearly that it was the nephew who was instigated by the nephew's wife. The nephew was the one who took people up the mountain to dig for ghost potatoes. The head of the house had to talk about Qin's nephew. He couldn't let Qin's nephew be fawned over by his nephew's wife all the time.

As for why she didnt say it herself?

What a joke, her nephew is as vicious as a ghost, she still wants to live for two more years, how can she dare to say anything about him?

Uncle Qin looked at Qin Sanlang and said, "Although we are very short of food, eating cassava as food is a big deal. You have to think clearly."

Widow Xiao was angry, kicked Uncle Qin again, and cursed: "I asked you to curse, but why are you putting the child to sleep? What about the swearing? How can you call it swearing if you don't say swearing!"

Uncle Qin patted his dirty cotton pants and said dissatisfiedly: "How about you come?"

Widow Xiao choked. If I had the courage, would I still need you?

Uncle Qin said that he was very short of food, which was a help to Sanlang Qin.

Qin Sanlang took the opportunity to say to everyone: "There has always been a shortage of food in the northwest. This year, due to war and insect pests, farming was delayed. In the autumn, there was almost no harvest. In the first half of next year, the famine will be more serious. We need Cassava.

"Don't worry, I won't let you eat it. It will be used to feed the livestock first."

Then, he once again told them that cassava could be detoxified by soaking it in water for a few days, and also told them the yield per acre of cassava.

Nearly three thousand catties!

Everyone was shocked: "Oh my God, is this true or false?"

If the yield per acre can really be three thousand kilograms, then even if cassava is poisonous, it is still worth growing. Anyway, it is for livestock to eat, and even if it dies, it will be dead.
