Chapter 48: Unintentionally opened my heart
"No...it's nothing. I'm just curious. I don't know how much land has been planted, but there isn't even enough fertilizer for irrigation!"
After saying that, Liu Chan couldn't help but fell into deep thought, thinking: "Why is it only a little more than an acre? Calculated like this, it seems that growing corn is more cost-effective!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Young master, you don't know. Although the potatoes are only planted on more than an acre of land, there are four thousand nests in this acre of land, so the amount of irrigation required is larger. I have never seen this before.
No other crop can be planted so densely and yield such a high yield!"
When Liu Chan heard this, he suddenly realized: "That's it!"
In fact, Liu Chan wasn't that concerned about what Zhuge Liang said later. What he really cared about was just how many potatoes were planted.
So after he said these four words, he fell into deep thought again. He was thinking about whether to buy more potatoes or just buy corn and sweet potatoes.
"The corn purchase window just now seemed to indicate how many kilograms of corn are needed per acre of land. I wonder if there is such a description for sweet potatoes!"
Suddenly, his mind suddenly moved, he quickly opened the system, entered the mall, and found Sweet Potato.
Then he thought silently and entered the sweet potato vine's description page.
Sure enough, there was a planting instruction, which read: "One acre of land can be planted with about 3,000 plants, and each acre can produce 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes."
Seeing this explanation, Liu Chan was pleasantly surprised and sighed repeatedly.
“Why didn’t I know that the yield of sweet potatoes was so high?”
"After all, for the same price, the output is twice that of potatoes!"
"In this case, I will no longer buy potatoes. I will follow Zhuge Liang's idea and let the potatoes be cultivated slowly!"
"How about spending 30,000 surprise points to buy 3,000 sweet potato vines first?"
“Let’s confirm again!”
Liu Chan remembered that when he was reading the instructions just now, he had seen the words "planting season". He turned out the instruction page again and read it carefully.
"The planting period is usually one month after corn is sown..."
"It turns out that we need to plant corn first, then sweet potatoes, and then check the corn sowing time."
Liu Chan quickly switched in his mind and found the description page of corn, which read:
"The sowing time is around January after spring every year..."
"January? It seems that there is still about a month left. I won't buy it now. When the time comes, I will buy it to give Zhuge Liang a surprise."
"Speaking of surprises, maybe I can buy more in a month!"
Thinking of this, Liu Chan put away the system in his mind and used his "super farsightedness" to see the beautiful scenery around him.
Because it is late winter now, and darkness is coming faster and faster. By the time Liu Chan and the others return to the Governor's Mansion, the sun has already set, so Liu Chan is sent directly to the backyard...
Logically speaking, winter nights should seem extremely long, but for Liu Chan, last night went very fast, so fast that he was woken up by a system prompt before he could react.
"Important reminder, the current completion rate of the "Become a Big Pig Farmer" task is 0%. There are still ten days until the end of the task. Please pay attention to the time."
This time, Liu Chan was no longer as panicked as before. He clearly heard Zhuge Liang ordering people to find ten pigs and bring them back within two days.
As long as the results achieved by these ten pigs can satisfy Zhuge Liang, then it will be a matter of course for the pigs to turn from ten to a hundred!
He got up from the bed unhurriedly, quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out, breathing the fresh air in the yard, waiting for the sun to rise.
I don't know how long it took, but a beautiful woman's voice suddenly came from behind Liu Chan: "Adou, when did you get up?"
When Liu Chan heard this, he turned around and saw the graceful and dignified Mrs. Mi, who was looking at him lovingly.
He seemed to suddenly remember something, and bowed for the first time and said: "Mimi, how are you?"
He has been Liu Chan for so many days. Although he has seen his playmates who are not much different in age from him saluting their elders more than once, he has never done so because he has not changed his role.
When Mrs. Mi saw this, tears suddenly filled her eyes.
In fact, it was not only the first time for Liu Chan, but also the first time for Mrs. Mi to hear Liu Chan greeting her early in the morning.
She is a very emotional woman, and she is also a woman with maternal brilliance. She is very eager to support her husband and raise her children, and to hear her son call her "Aniang".
But since she followed Liu Bei, she has experienced countless ups and downs. Although she once had a child with Liu Bei, she unfortunately died in infancy.
Now Liu Bei is busy with his career and has no time to accompany her. Liu Chan, who is by her side, always ignores her, causing her to slowly isolate herself.
Just listen to it, let it go, and don't want to worry about anything, as if you have seen through everything.
At this moment, her heart couldn't help but waver. She suddenly felt that Liu Chan was sensible and her life was full of hope.
She has planned to treat Liu Chan as her biological child!
Mrs. Mi said gently: "Adou, are you hungry?"
Liu Chan nodded and said, "I seem a little hungry."
Mrs. Mi said: "Then come with me. I have some plum blossom cakes that I made yesterday."
When he heard the three words "plum blossom cake", Liu Chan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He had basically seen the name of this kind of pastry in TV dramas before. He had seen it with his own eyes and tasted it with his own mouth. When he heard that it was made by Mrs. Mi herself, his mouth watered slowly.
Liu Chan's saliva did not flow in vain. Soon, he tasted the "plum blossom cake" that he had never tasted before!
This "Plum Blossom Cake" smells of a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. It is sweet but not greasy when you eat it. It melts in your mouth. When it reaches the throat, it has a cooling feeling, but when it enters the stomach, it is slightly warm.
After eating just one, Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although this 'Plum Blossom Cake' has the same effect as the breakfast bread of later generations, in terms of taste and exquisite workmanship, it is simply different."
inside."
"Adou, why don't you eat? Is it not delicious?"
Seeing that Liu Chan only ate one and then stopped, Mrs. Mi couldn't help but feel worried and asked.
Liu Chan said with a smile: "This is so delicious and unforgettable that I can't bear to finish it all at once!"
When Mrs. Mi heard this, she smiled sweetly and said, "Really? Don't just try to make grandma happy!"
Liu Chan said seriously: "Of course it's true, lying is just a puppy!"
Mrs. Mi covered her mouth and smiled: "Since it's so delicious, Ah Dou should eat it all as soon as possible. If you still want to eat it tomorrow, I'll just make it later..."
"Then I'll start!"
Liu Chan moved as he was told and took two bites of the three plum blossom cakes left on the plate, destroying them in a short while.
