Chapter 151 Potato Stew ([-])

Lin Yiyi heard this, opened the pad to check, and readily agreed: "Just in time, there is a potato farmer here who has also contacted us."

When the fruit grower heard it, he probably knew who it was.Planting potatoes requires a large area of ​​open fields, and there is only one plant growing potatoes nearby, which happens to be autumn potatoes in this season.

He also knew that during the half-day live broadcast, the sales of his peaches soared.In order to repay Li Chengxin and the others, he volunteered to help them contact the potato farmer.

After receiving the confirmation, he enthusiastically used a small delivery truck to let several people sit in the bed of the truck and took them to the home of a potato farmer.

Li Chengxin looked at the pickup truck leaving happily, and said thoughtfully: "Suddenly I feel that we look like cargo."

Lin Yi posted the preview of the next day's live broadcast on Weibo and the live broadcast website along the way, and was so amused by Li Chengxin's words that he trembled wildly.

Brother Xiaoyong was slightly jealous, and urged: "Xin Wa'er, come and help us move things!"

Li Chengxin rolled his eyes, and lingered over to help Brother Xiaoyong and Zhou Hao carry a box of peaches.

This is one of the reasons why the fruit growers sent them here in a small truck. By the way, the fruit growers also sent a dozen boxes of peaches to the potato farmers.Regardless of the fact that there are more than a dozen boxes, it is actually the result of excessive packaging.

The peaches are placed in different boxes according to their size. There are 9 small peaches in a box, and only 4 large peaches in a box.

Brother Xiaoyong, who was born in the north, called this package a waste. In his impression, a box full of fruits should be full to be affordable.

Zhou Hao looked at Brother Xiaoyong and said, "That's okay. At my home, fruits are sold individually, so some are packed one by one."

The farmer's family happily watched the celebrities help them move things, and thought it was quite interesting.

After moving things, put your luggage in place.The farmer took a few live broadcasters for a short walk around their fields and introduced their situation and potato information.

After finishing the work, Li Chengxin, Brother Xiaoyong and Zhou Hao started to arrange the live broadcast for the next day in the farmer's yard.

The farmer's family made another sumptuous meal in the evening and invited several people to enjoy it.

At the dinner table, Li Chengxin has already started ordering: "This is delicious, let's make this for our live broadcast tomorrow."

The farmer's wife squinted her eyes and looked at Li Chengxin with a smile: "Okay, okay."

"This one is delicious too!"

"Then arrange this dish tomorrow."

The live broadcast started early the next morning, and netizens who got the news yesterday also began to pour into the live broadcast room.

[Wow, it’s really rare to do two live broadcasts of helping farmers in a row! 】

[High yield looks like that...]

[It’s not high yield at all, okay? It’s the end of the year, and this is the second or third live broadcast of helping farmers? 】

[The anchors have fallen, and they can't even look down on the popularity of Zhunong's live broadcast]

[Geyue Entertainment's live broadcast has a big platform and traffic from celebrity fans, only those who watch Zhunong's live broadcast are Zicheng's true fans]

Li Chengxin was ashamed to see the netizens talking about it. Netizens would probably never guess that the reason for this live broadcast was just because Li Chengxin didn't want to waste the incentive buff rewarded in the previous live broadcast.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air in the plain area, Li Chengxin started the show.

"Potatoes are native to the Andes Mountains of South America. For potatoes that prefer moderate dryness and low ground temperatures, there is no rain in this area in summer and the humidity is not high, so delicious potatoes can be produced."

"Right now, it's the season for potatoes to be harvested here."

"Wow, the above ground is all withered."

When the camera turned, a large brown field came into view, extending all the way to the horizon.Looking from a distance, the fields are covered with a slightly gray shadow. When you look closer, you realize that they are all dry potato stems and leaves.

"Should this be to let them wither on purpose?"

Seeing someone working in the field, the two greeted each other and walked forward: "Hello!"

"Hello!" The farmer hurried over to shake hands with the two.

【Gosh!The farmer held mud in his hand, but Zicheng actually grabbed it directly...]

[What’s so strange, are Zicheng and Xiaoyong’s family farmers or fishermen?]

[That's right, what I'm talking about here is that I haven't seen them build their own houses! 】

After chatting for a while, Li Chengxin found out in surprise: "You are 50 years old this year, and you have been farming for 40 years... Does that mean...you have been growing potatoes here since you were 10 years old?"

The farmer nodded: "Yes, I have been driving a tractor since I was a child to help my family harvest potatoes."

Brother Xiaoyong was surprised: "You can drive a tractor at the age of ten? Is this considered child labor?"

The farmer shook his head: "There was no concept of child labor in those days. Speaking of which, the children in the village were scrambling to drive the tractor, thinking it was a big toy, not to mention that it was their own land."

Brother Xiaoyong yearned a little: "It's great, when I was a child, my family didn't let me touch my own fishing boat..."

Farmers always have the concept that the earlier they are exposed to agriculture, the better vegetables they can grow. Therefore, the farmer's grandson, who is only 15 years old, can already drive a tractor to help him work.

The son of the farmer went to work in the city and stopped farming.Cultivating this grandson is also the hope of the farmers to pass on the knowledge of the older generation.

Li Chengxin made a gesture of looking into the distance, and asked, "How big is your potato field?"

Brother Xiaoyong echoed: "Yes, yes, it feels super big!"

The farmer smiled and pointed to the end of the horizon: "Did you see the tractor there?"

The two nodded.

"So far, it's actually not very big, just over 500 mu of land."

Brother Xiao Yong was ashamed: "More than 500 mu is not big, who are you comparing with?"

The farmers were a little unhappy: "I'm talking about the potato farmers in North America. I checked before, and they have an average of 3000 acres of potato fields per household."

Li Chengxin is relatively insensitive to these data. I checked on my mobile phone and found that there are more than 200 large potato growers registered in North America, which provide 80% of the potato production in the entire North American continent.

Li Chengxin couldn't help but be speechless. This is indeed a big gap.However, farmers want to compare with the big grain producers under that kind of capital, and it can be seen that they have great ambitions.

"For more than 500 mu of land, last year must have been very hard, right?" Brother Xiaoyong changed the subject, "Compared with usual, there were a lot of typhoons last year."

Li Chengxin was deeply touched by this, and only discussed the impact of the typhoon last year on his own coast.

The farmer nodded and sighed: "The potato fields were flooded last year. At that time, most of the potatoes growing in the fields were rotten, and the yield was really affected."

"How about the harvest this year?" Li Chengxin asked worriedly.

"This year's harvest was unexpectedly good."

Brother Xiaoyong didn't need to ask, he saw the signs of a bumper potato harvest at a glance.

"These wilted potato vines speak for themselves."

The farmer nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the potato vines are completely withered, which means that the potatoes are fully ripe, and the nutrients have been completely stored in the potatoes."
