Chapter 56： Excited

When Old Man Zhou and the others heard this number, they were almost unable to stand, their legs were trembling, and they were so soft that they were almost unable to stand. Zhou Lao Er asked with a trembling mouth: ''Really...really? ''

Boss Zhou rushed to the remaining wooden boxes, pointed at the sweet potato vines and asked, ''Is these too, can they be plucked out too? ''

Zhou Cheng stepped forward and said: ''These are another variety, Dad, help me to see if they are ripe enough to be dug up. ''

Old Man Zhou's excitement has not slowed down. After all, Old Madam Zhou was not so excited after seeing the unearthed process of potatoes, and hurriedly helped Old Man Zhou to walk over.

The old man Zhou looked at the leaves, touched the vines, scratched off a little soil and looked at it, and said: ''Put out one of the trees first, and have a look. I have never seen this before, so I can't say. ''

Zhou Cheng came forward to pull it out, but Pei Xiu stopped him and said, ''Wait a minute, let's dig the one inside. ''

Zhou Cheng didn't know why, but he still obediently pulled out the one inside.

It was like pulling a potato, pulling it up hard. The soil was soft and easy to pull up. There were small sweet potatoes hanging from the bottom of a sweet potato vine.

The old man Zhou and the three of them had never seen the appearance of a potato when he was pulling out a potato, and said in surprise: ''This tree can grow so many under it, it's the same as a peanut, but it's bigger than a peanut. ''

Mrs. Zhou has seen potatoes being pulled once, and it is not unusual for her to pull sweet potatoes again. She just wondered why the fruit was still red, and it was bigger than the previous potatoes.

Pei Xiu was very happy. It was really all grown, but her size was not ideal, but she was already very good. She could grow so much without applying any fertilizer. She should be content.

Old Man Zhou took a potato for comparison, and his hands trembled, ''Is this yield more than potatoes, so much bigger. ''

Zhou Cheng replied, ''I don't know, I won't know until I pull it out. ''

Turning his head to look at Pei Xiu again, he said suspiciously: ''Why didn't you let that tree be pulled out just now? ''

Pei Xiu said with a smile, ''You can take a look now. ''

Zhou Cheng walked towards the sweet potato vine that was just about to be pulled up, and when he pulled it hard, the soil turned upside down. He saw that there were two or three hanging from the root alone. Everyone was surprised and looked at each other. Why is there so little under this vine.

Originally holding incomparable expectations, suddenly there was a gap, and several people felt a little worried and uncomfortable.

Old Man Zhou also muttered to himself: ''How come there are only two or three...''

He was also surprised that there were so few vines under it. Did his daughter-in-law know about the dense bunch of trees before and looked at his daughter-in-law.

Pei Xiu smiled and said, ''Don't be discouraged, this sweet potato is a seed potato, and Zhou Cheng brought back few sweet potatoes at first. '' After speaking, he paused and looked at Zhou Cheng, did you forget how many sweet potatoes you brought back? Look at how many are planted here. ''

He really didn't pay attention to this, it was his wife who was messing with it, but he also clearly remembered that there were only seven or eight sweet potatoes at that time. The wooden box he hit was still planted with vegetables, and the back was empty... He remembered, and there were plants like sweet potato vines inserted in the back.

He didn't pay attention to the seedlings that were exactly the same as several sweet potato vines," "Could it be that the vines that were planting sweet potatoes had just taken root and sprouted and planted them?" ''

Pei Xiu nodded with a smile, '' The top seven trees in the row outside here are all seed potatoes, and the ones inside are all planted with their vine cuttings. ''

Old Man Zhou couldn't understand what they were saying, so he asked: ''The third daughter-in-law, please explain what's going on. ''

''Father, it's like this, I buried the sweet potato that Zhou Cheng brought back in this soil, and then didn't it sprout, and a lot of small vines grew out, I cut out a few, broke off the small vines and buried them in the soil again. , and then buried the sweet potato back, and a lot of sweet potatoes grew from the bottom. Didn't the sweet potato vine that used to be the seed be pulled up, and if you planted it again, there would be no sweet potato under the root. ''

After Pei Xiu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were so many fruits for one fruit, and only two or three for one fruit.

Everyone got excited again, and they didn't ask how she knew she wanted to do this. Zhou Cheng thought about it, but he wouldn't expose her daughter-in-law. This is a good thing, and it can save you a lot of detours.

Old Man Zhou leaned in front of the wooden boxes, rubbed his hands together and said, ''Old third, let Dad pull out the remaining trees. ''

Brother Zhou and Brother Tuesday also stared at each other with bright eyes. They could not wait to get started, but they would definitely not be able to compete with their father, so they stood aside obediently and watched their father pull.

The old man Zhou pulled out one tree vigorously, touched the sweet potatoes one by one with trembling hands, picked them off and put them in the bamboo basket. Brother Zhou rushed up to dig out the sweet potatoes in the soil on Tuesday, for fear that it would be slow. disappear like.

A group of people were as beaming as the Chinese New Year, giggling around the two boxes of sweet potatoes, but Mrs. Zhou still remembered, ''The third daughter-in-law, this thing is called sweet potatoes, right? How does it eat, can you? ''

''Mother, I'll try steaming a few, let's try them all. '' Pei Xiu picked out a few small ones to clean~ The small ones are easy to cook and don't take much effort.

Zhou Cheng looked at the few people who were smirking and touching the sweet potatoes, and said, ''Father, we haven't weighed the sweet potatoes yet. ''

A word awakened the dreamer, and several people happily patronized and looked at the sweet potato, and they all forgot to weigh it. Mainly, everyone looked at what it was unearthed, and already knew how many kilograms it weighed. When they looked at the two bamboo baskets with excitement, they forgot to weigh them.

The eldest eldest Zhou recovered quickly: ''Yes, I haven't weighed it yet. The second child brings the scale, let's lift it up, and the third child takes a look at the scale. Dad, you just got tired, take a break. ''

Rao is that everyone has already prepared in their hearts, but they are still shocked by the weight. There are two full baskets, weighing more than 120 pounds.

Old Man Zhou's hands and feet were trembling and he quickly asked Old Madam Zhou to help him sit down on the steps in front of the hall, stammering,''No...No...It's incredible...Ah, this production report is incredible for our family. ''

Boss Zhou and Er Zhou only thought about the things they planted at home, and they were not as big as Old Man Zhou, so Zhou Cheng also thought about it. But he didn't think that his family could get the benefit from it. He thought that after reporting the report, the magistrate is the son of the prince. The prince must be the first to receive the news. He can also operate it at that time, which is very good for his reputation. . Moreover, for the King of Liaodong, the emergence of high-yield crops in his fiefs can increase his voice in the court and increase his popularity among the people.

Zhou Cheng saw that his eldest brother and second brother also understood the benefits of this high-yield crop to his family after being reminded by his father. Seeing their eager eyes, they didn't want to dislike them." "I can sell some of these seeds to the eldest brother and the second brother. The eldest brother and the second brother write an IOU. After the seeds are planted, the seed money will be sold in the first round. The market price is settled to me. What do you think, brother and brother? ''
