"This is just an ordinary specialty of my Sujiazhuang." Su Chen said casually.
When he talked about this sweet potato, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Originally, Su Chen thought that high-yielding grains such as sweet potatoes would be very popular in this era!
Therefore, after receiving the system gift package, the first type of food he planted was sweet potatoes!
After a series of summer procedures such as cutting into pieces, soaking in water, collecting young seedlings, and planting, Su Chen finally grew delicious sweet potatoes in this era!
For Su Chen, a time traveler with a high IQ, if he wants to do business or become an official, it is definitely something that can be easily accomplished!
Therefore, he never thought about making money by selling sweet potatoes from the beginning, but thought about leading people to grow sweet potatoes to get rid of poverty and become rich!
Therefore, Su Chen confidently prepared to take the farmers in Wannian County to plant sweet potatoes, and then make a fortune and reach the pinnacle of life!
However, just when he was so arrogant and ready to show off his talents, he encountered a big problem, which directly caused his sweet potato promotion plan to fail miserably!
All the farmers in Jiping looked at him as if they were a moron after hearing about his sweet potatoes!
"If you don't plant good grain, who will grow it?!"
"Little brother, stop dreaming and just farm the land honestly!"
"Just this thing, can produce fifty dan per mu? Don't be kidding!"
Yes, when Su Chen first started promoting sweet potatoes, no one believed in him. Everyone thought he had been kicked in the head by a donkey!
Although Su Chen was greatly frustrated by this, he was also understanding.
After all, in this era, fields and food are the lives of farmers!
As long as they don't farm for three months, they may face the risk of their whole family starving to death!
For a new food like sweet potato, there is no reason to risk not harvesting it for a year.
In desperation, Su Chen had to take all the sweet potato seedlings back to his Sujiazhuang and plant them himself.
Speaking of which, regarding sweet potatoes, Su Chen not only talked to the farmers in Wannian County, but also to Lao Li and Lao Sun.
Unfortunately, they thought he was bragging at the time and ignored him.
For people of this era, having an output of fifty dan per mu is like a dream!
"How's the output of this thing?" Li Junxian's eyelids were twitching wildly and he asked with a somewhat dry mouth.
Li Junxian had an inexplicable premonition about this kind of food that he had never seen before, which would subvert the entire food cultivation in the Tang Dynasty!
"The yield? It's not bad today. It's probably only fifty dan per mu." Su Chen said lightly.
For him, a yield of fifty acres per mu was too normal, but he had forgotten how Li Junxian, an ancient man, felt.
"How much did you say?! Fifty acres?!"
Hearing this terrifying number, Li Junxian's eyes almost popped out!!
Regarding Su Chen's words, Li Junxian is not nonsense like others!
Because, from the very beginning, Li Shimin told him that Su Chen was a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty!
In Li Junxian's view, since Su Chen was a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, there must be something extraordinary that would make His Majesty the Emperor so solemn!
Therefore, he did not have the slightest doubt about Su Chen's statement that sweet potatoes could produce fifty dan per mu!
What is a noble person?
This is a noble person!
This is grain that can produce fifty dan per mu!
If this was vigorously promoted in Datang, what would it be like?!
That means that from now on, no matter what natural or man-made disasters the Tang Dynasty encounters, there will no longer be famines!
Thinking of this, Li Junxian was so excited that he was trembling all over!
This is so shocking!!
"Wei Li, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Li Junxian so excited, Su Chen asked with some worry.
"Oh, sorry, I lost my temper."
Li Junxian then realized his gaffe and spoke to Su Chen apologetically.
During the next dinner, Li Junxian no longer had any thoughts about eating or drinking. He just wanted to return to the palace quickly and inform His Majesty Li Er about the sweet potatoes.
…
Half an hour later.
"Hiccup, Brother Su, little Sizi is so full!"
Little Sizi touched her round belly and burped.
As an elder sister, Princess Changle naturally could not be like her younger sister, so she said politely: "Brother Su Chen, thank you for your hospitality."
Seeing that the two princesses had finally finished eating, Li Junxian, who had been sitting uneasily for a long time, quickly said: "Mr. Su, it's getting late now, so we're going back. We're sorry for bothering you today."
This half hour was really torturous for him!
Although Xiao Sizi was very reluctant to let go of Su Chen, she still listened to Li Junxian obediently and didn't mess around.
"Brother Su, can Si Zi come to play with you again next time?"
When parting, Xiao Sizi's big eyes were full of reluctance and expectation.
Princess Changle on the side also looked at Su Chen with some inexplicable meaning in her eyes.
After this day of getting along, the three of them have become very familiar with each other and their relationship has become much closer.
Sizi is still young and doesn't think too much about it. He just likes to play with Su Chen.
But Princess Changle is different. She is now ten years old, which is the age when love begins.
According to ancient customs, a woman must get married at the age of twelve!
After some contact, Princess Changle also had some strange feelings about Su Chen.
It's just that she thinks Su Chen is good at everything. Not only is he handsome, but he also speaks humorously and is gentle and considerate...
Now that they are suddenly separated, she is actually a little reluctant to leave!
"Of course. If Xiao Si'er and sister want to come over and play, I'm always welcome here." Su Chen said with a smile, very sunny and innocent.
At this moment, Princess Changle looked a little lost.
On the side, Li Junxian hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Mr. Su, um...can I take a sweet potato back?"
"Of course, if you want to plant it, I will teach you..."
Su Chen was very enthusiastic. Before Li Junxian could ask, he took the initiative to tell Li Junxian the methods and precautions for growing sweet potatoes.
After all, seeing how Li Junxian seems to be very interested in returning sweet potatoes, Su Chen will naturally not miss any promotion opportunity.
After finishing speaking, Su Chen took Li Junxian to his granary and personally selected five kilograms of high-quality sweet potatoes!
And Li Junxian lived up to Su Chen's expectations and kept all the methods of growing sweet potatoes in mind!
After getting the sweet potatoes, Li Junxian did not stay any longer, and took the two princesses on the carriage back to the palace.
He can't wait to go back and report to His Majesty Li Er about the sweet potatoes.
"Goodbye, brother Su!"
"Goodbye, brother Su Chen!"
Two soft voices rang out and disappeared into the night along with the speeding carriage.
