Chapter 118 Potato Harvest
Looking at the large field of wild potatoes growing well in front of her, Meixiang suddenly felt more confident about her future plans.
"Brother Daniu, let's go to the village chief's house together. Didn't we say that we should tell him that the potato trial was successful?" Meixiang said with a smile. It can be seen that she is in a particularly good mood.
"Really? This is really great news. I saw the village chief when I went out this morning. He should be at home now. Let's go." Liu Daniu rubbed his hands happily and said, "If every household can grow this thing and the yield is high, then we will never go hungry again in the future, right?"
Seeing Meixiang nodded, Liu Daniu shouted and turned to rush down the mountain. Those who have never been hungry will never be able to understand the expectation and yearning from the heart.
Mei Ying, who was walking at the end, turned around and looked carefully at the hillside covered with potatoes. She pondered for a moment and followed them down the mountain.
On the way, Mei Ying noticed that Liu Erniu and his wife were following them stealthily. She glanced at Liu Daniu who was happily leading the way, walked up to Mei De and said, "Miss, that couple has been following us."
"Don't worry about them." Meixiang replied softly without blinking. She was not anxious about the evil people who would deal with them. As long as they didn't bother her or ruin her things, it would be fine.
Soon the four of them arrived at the door of the village chief's house. Liu Daniu was so happy that he started shouting at the door and even forgot to address him as a respectful title: "Village chief, are you home?"
"Who is it?" Because there are more people with the surname Liu in the neighboring village but the population of the village is smaller than that of Liujia Village, in order to distinguish it, this village is called Xiaoliu Village.
The head of Xiaoliu Village is a middle-aged man in his forties. He doesn't look like a farmer, but rather like a refined scholar. Later, I learned that he was indeed a scholar. Before the founding of the country, Haoyue worked as a legal advisor in a certain state. Later, because of his political disagreements with his superiors and his dislike for the officials' oppression of the people, he left the officialdom in anger and returned to his hometown to become a farmer.
"Village chief, this is Miss Liu who saved my father last time," Liu Daniu began to introduce her impatiently before the village chief came closer, "This time she came to see you because..."
"Brother Daniu," Meixiang interrupted Liu Daniu and turned to look behind her. Then she smiled and said to the head of Xiaoliu Village, "Hello, head of the village. I am Liu Meixiang from the next village. May I have a moment to talk to you?"
The village chief followed Meixiang's gaze and glanced outside the door, then nodded knowingly and said, "Of course, of course. Everyone, please come in and talk. Miss Liu, please."
Meiying stood at the door, and Xiaosan took the initiative to follow Meixiang. The village chief looked at Meiying and Xiaosan's behavior and nodded secretly. If you want to know how a person behaves, you only need to see whether his followers know how to behave. This is what the saying goes, "Like master, like servant."
After Meixiang and Liu Daniu sat down in the main hall of the village chief's house, the village chief looked at Meixiang and asked, "I wonder what Miss Liu wants to talk to me about today?"
"It's like this. A while ago, didn't Brother Daniu take me to dig some potatoes from your back mountain and try planting them? I wonder if the village chief still remembers this?"
"Well, is that so? How is this a success?" The village chief lowered his head and remembered that Liu Daniu had indeed told him about this, so he asked back.
Mei Xiang smiled and nodded, "I came here today just to talk about this. I did grow them after I went back. My family and I tried them before planting, and the taste is exactly what I remembered. I just don't know if the yield can reach the expected amount."
"What is the expectation?" asked the village chief with a twinkle in his eyes.
"The scientific name of this thing is potato, commonly known as potato. Under normal circumstances, it should be planted twice a year. The growth cycle is generally 60-100 days, and the normal yield per mu is about 300-500 jin."
"How much? 300-500 jin?" As expected, the village chief was stunned by the number.
Meixiang sat there with her hands in front of her body without saying a word, "Oh my God, if there really are so many, it would be a huge treasure." Liu Daniu said this secretly at this time, which made everyone in the room laugh.
Looking at everyone's happy smiles, she had to remind them of some things in advance. If there was any trouble later, it would be trouble for herself. Chu Zeming and Feng Yizhen would be even more busy, so some problems should be prevented in advance and nipped in the bud. Meixiang said with a serious expression, "So..."
"Tomorrow I plan to harvest the potatoes I tried planting, and then see how much the yield per mu can reach. Because there are many people in the village who are watching this matter, and they were not concealed when they were carried back to Liujia Village from your back mountain, so after tomorrow this matter will spread all over the place, and then the land on your back mountain will not be hidden anymore. I have a few suggestions here, do you know if I should tell you?"
The village chief heard Meixiang's words and saw her slightly serious expression. He knew that Meixiang must have come all the way here early in the morning for no reason. The matter would not be too simple and might even be beyond his imagination. He then restrained his expression and replied solemnly: "Thank you, Miss Liu. If you have anything to say, please tell me. If it is beneficial to the people here, I will fully cooperate."
Meixiang looked at the village chief's determined eyes and nodded: "First of all, I suggest that the village chief send someone he can trust to guard the potato field today to prevent everyone from rushing to grab the potatoes when they see the profit. If things go wrong, there might be a fight or even casualties. By the way, I can ask the patrol team of the government army to come and help after I go back."
When hearing the words "Please ask the patrol team of the government army to come and help", the village chief's eyes lingered on Meixiang for a few moments, and his eyes flashed several times.
Meixiang was sensitive to the changes in the village chief's expression and mentality. Some things, such as her identity, would be known to everyone sooner or later, and she felt that there was no need to deliberately conceal it, so she pretended not to know and continued, "Second, why did Father Liu almost lose his life? That's because potatoes with green skin and sprouts are poisonous and must not be eaten. This must be firmly remembered by every villager who touches potatoes, otherwise people will die."
"Third: As a newly discovered food ingredient, it will definitely be promoted on a large scale in the future. So, if we are promoting planting, how should we distribute it? How should each household plant it? Where should they plant it? How much should they plant? The village chief should have a rule in mind."
"The fourth and most important point..."
