Douluo: At the beginning, I mistakenly regard Bibi Dong as my sister

Chapter 13 Volcanic Fertilizers
"Huh?" Bibi Dong couldn't hold back her expression.

Did she hear correctly just now?

Five thousand catties per mu?
What kind of crop is this?

The main crop on Douluo Continent is wheat. With sufficient irrigation, it can produce four hundred catties per mu, which can already be called a bumper harvest.

And potatoes can actually produce five thousand catties per mu. Doesn't this mean that there will be no famine in Douluo Continent from now on?

You must know that on the Douluo Continent, tens of thousands of people will starve to death due to drought or floods.

Agricultural disasters are also a problem that the two great empires and Wuhundian have to face every year.

But what did Chen Jian say?
Five thousand catties of potatoes per mu!
Planting one acre of potatoes means that it can cover twelve acres of fertile land!
Bibi Dong was a little suffocated for a moment, this number is really terrifying.

Compared to Bibi Dong's inner shock, Hu Liena's performance was much more straightforward. She curled her lips and said, "Mr. Chen is not lying to me and the teacher? Although I have never farmed before, I know that a field with a yield of [-] catties per mu, There are very few in the entire continent. If you say that the yield per mu is one thousand catties, I can still believe it."

"But five thousand catties is too much, right? Even if you grow up drinking water, you can't produce nearly five thousand catties per mu!"

Chen Jian stroked his white beard and laughed, "It's normal if you don't believe it. When Master Ye Tian told me, I also absolutely didn't believe it. How could there be such a high-yield crop in the world? But when I actually saw potatoes planted After that, I completely believed it.”

On the side, Ye Tian walked towards Hu Liena, patted her on the shoulder, and said calmly: "When did I cheat you, brother? Now is the season for potatoes, and the south of the farm is the potato growing area. If you don't believe me, You can go there and see for yourself.”

These words not only attracted Hu Liena, but also Bibi Dong's attention.

The significance of potatoes is too great, if what Ye Tian said is true, the utilitarian value cannot be measured with an accurate number.

This can not only solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

And it is beneficial to increase the tax revenue of Wuhundian.

It means that Wuhundian can recruit more powerful soul masters.

Seeing that his sister was also quite interested in this, Ye Tian suggested: "Why don't we dig some potatoes ourselves and let the farm kitchen help us make potato dinner!"

"Okay!" Hu Liena first raised her hand to respond to this proposal.

The crops harvested in person are the sweetest when eaten.

She has been cultivating in Wuhun City, but it is rare for her to experience such a happy thing.

Now that I have the opportunity, I have to try whatever I say.

Hearing that Hu Liena agreed, Ye Tian cast his eyes on Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong also nodded slightly. Since she became the pope, she has to face various government affairs every day, not to mention entertainment, and sometimes she can't even take care of food.

I really miss the days when I was a child and helped my parents harvest the crops.

It was hidden deep in her heart, one of the few warmth.

Under Ye Tian's leadership, everyone headed towards the south of the farm.

Hu Liena did not forget to trot to the road, picked up her shoes, and then returned to Ye Tian's side, and pulled his wrist again.

Soon, everyone walked to the south of the farm.

I saw large expanses of green and mature potato fields.

The tall potato seedlings stand upright, and many farmers are working hard to plan potatoes.

Bibi Dong stepped forward first and pulled up a potato seedling.

Potato seedlings are easily uprooted due to the sandy ground.

Then Bibi Dong was stunned.

The roots of the potato seedlings are covered with large and small potatoes, which together weigh five or six catties!
She stared at the potato and murmured, "It turned out to be true."

Seeing this scene, Hu Liena also widened her eyes: "My God! There are really crops with such a high yield in the world."

Ye Tian came to Bibi Dong's side, and said with a light smile, "How could I lie to you, sister? Do you believe me now?"

"The output is so high, will the taste be unpalatable?" Bibi Dong asked the question in his heart.

There are always advantages and disadvantages in everything. Since potatoes are a high-yield crop, there must be other disadvantages.

"It's not bad at all." Ye Tian shook his head and denied, "Potatoes can not only be used as a staple food, but also can be used for cooking. Not only that, but if you cut them into strips and fry them in a frying pan to become golden brown French fries, then serve them with a secret sauce. Spices, and even an extreme delicacy!"

Chen Jian took over the topic and said: "Potatoes can be ground into flour and can also be made into potato flour. Potato flour produced on the farm has been popularized on the coast of the East China Sea and is very popular with everyone."

Hearing what Ye Tian said, Hu Liena almost burst into tears, stepped forward and grabbed Ye Tian's lapel, and said anxiously: "Brother, are these potatoes really as delicious as you say?"

"You glutton, you'll know if you try it tonight." Ye Tian pressed Hu Liena's forehead, he really loves to eat.

"En!" Hu Liena didn't care about Ye Tian's movements at all, and nodded solemnly.

This reminded her of the hot pot that she ate at Ye Tian's house earlier, it was the best in the world!
She wanted to stay by Ye Tian's side forever.

That way you can eat until it's delicious!
No, no, how could I have this idea?

Gluttony will make you fat.

What's more, I'm still the future saint of Wuhun Hall, the teacher will definitely not let me stay.

Then... then it's better to persuade the teacher to stay together...

While Hu Liena was struggling, Bibi Dong, who was thinking, suddenly noticed the land next to the potatoes.

On the land next to it, it grows a long-stemmed plant with long seedlings, which do not have thick rhizomes like potatoes.

She looked at Ye Tian, ​​pointed to the land beside her, and asked curiously, "Is this also a potato?"

Ye Tian shook his head, pointed and said, "This is a sweet potato, but it's not fully ripe yet. It needs to be fertilized once and wait another month before it can be harvested."

"Fertilizer?" Bibi Dong was taken aback, following Ye Tian, ​​she could always hear novel terms.

The old man Chen Jian stood up and explained: "Fertilizer is the nutrition that plants need for growth. Just like we humans will grow fat in vain if we eat meat, only the land that is fertilized can produce high yields."

Chen Jian also gave an example: "I once did an experiment on a farm. In the same experimental wheat field, the yield per mu of the wheat field without fertilizer was only [-] jin. The yield per mu of the wheat field with fertilizer could reach [-] kg. One thousand two hundred catties."

"Wheat can also produce [-] catties per mu?" Bibi Dong, who has always had a good grasp of expressions, was completely surprised.

You must know that increasing the yield of wheat has always been the research direction of the two empires and Wuhundian.

Wuhundian even has a department dedicated to researching related issues, which is full of lifted food-type and auxiliary-type soul masters.

After years of research, this problem has not been solved.

Unexpectedly, it was solved by Ye Tian.

She couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Old Chen, when you did the experiment earlier, did you confirm that the wheat variety didn't mutate?"

This would be understandable if the wheat variety had mutated.

However, Chen Jian said firmly: "I'm sure there is no mutation. This is actually very easy to explain. According to Master Ye Tian's theory, plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements in addition to sunlight."

"Miss, you may know that if a field is filled with manure, then its growth will be slightly better than other fields."
