Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

After that, the farmer opened the product list on the screen and pointed to one of the items: "Look here, this is the link to the light bulb production drawings. If you are interested, you can click in to see more details."

Jiang Xue followed Xiao Nong's instructions and clicked on the link.

Detailed information about the light bulb production drawings is immediately displayed on the screen, including the description of the drawings, the list of materials required, and the production steps.

Jiang Xue read the information carefully and understood most of it. She decided to give the blueprint to Bai Yufeng tomorrow.

......

The next morning, at dawn, Grandpa Jiang handed the loudspeaker that Jiang Xue had left behind to Jiang Feng, and asked him to take the loudspeaker to notify the villagers of Jiangjia Village to gather at the threshing ground.

As the sound of the loudspeaker echoed in the village, the villagers woke up from their sleep one after another, listened curiously to the announcement from the loudspeaker, and then slowly walked towards the threshing ground.

Jiang Xue also got up early. She walked into the yard and said to the busy old man Jiang, "Grandpa, I have filled the warehouse at the back with potatoes. These are all processed. I calculated the area of ​​the threshing ground and it is just enough to store them."

Mr. Jiang nodded approvingly: "Okay, I'll go to the meeting now, and ask someone to bring the potatoes later."

"Let me go with you!" Jiang Xue suggested.

Mr. Jiang thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I don't understand the planting situation, you can go."

So Jiang Xue and Old Man Jiang walked towards the threshing ground together.

When we arrived, the villagers had already gathered together one after another. Everyone was talking and curiously guessing the content of today's meeting.

Mr. Jiang stood in front of the crowd, cleared his throat, and began to speak: "Dear villagers, I have called you all here today because I have an important announcement to make."

When the villagers heard the news, they all showed expressions of curiosity and expectation. They knew that every time something important was announced in the village, it would always bring them new opportunities and hope.

"During this period of time, the land in our village that was harvested after rapeseed is now vacant." Old Man Jiang picked up the loudspeaker handed over by Jiang Feng and continued in a loud voice, "After discussing with the clan leader, we decided to plant potatoes on these vacant lands. This is an important job that will bring more income to our village."

"Now, I need some volunteers to help plant potatoes. We will provide fifty cents a day as a thank you for your hard work." As soon as Grandpa Jiang finished speaking, the villagers began to talk, their faces filled with joy and expectation.

"I'm willing to help!" a villager shouted.

"I'm coming too!" another villager followed closely.

Soon, many villagers expressed their willingness to participate in potato planting. Mr. Jiang was very pleased to see everyone's enthusiasm.

"Okay, thank you very much for your support and participation!" Mr. Jiang continued.

One of the villagers who participated in the reclamation of the rapeseed field was named Jiang Dashu. He scratched his head with a confused expression on his face and asked Mr. Jiang: "Village head, what kind of crop is this potato? Why do we need to plant so many of them?

I remember that not long ago, our village just hired someone to reclaim a large rapeseed field!

The area of ​​that land is really astonishingly large, it must be thousands of acres!

So, are these potatoes really better than the rapeseed we planted before? " As he said these words, he looked at Mr. Jiang with a puzzled and curious look. It was obvious that this villager was very concerned about the village's decision on land planting.

You know, for farmers who have made a living from farming for generations, the land under their feet is undoubtedly their lifeblood, and every decision about how to use the land will directly affect their future life and economic income.

Faced with the villagers' questions, Mr. Jiang just smiled and nodded gently, indicating that he understood everyone's concerns.

Then, he explained to everyone earnestly: "My fellow villagers, potatoes are a high-yield crop, and they have strong adaptability and are relatively easy to store. The reason why we chose to plant this kind of potato is that the tribe leader and I made a careful investigation and research. According to the current situation, the prospects for planting potatoes are still quite good."

At this time, a question suddenly came from the crowd: "I want to ask, how many kilograms of potatoes can be produced per acre of land?" It turned out that an impatient villager could not suppress his curiosity and finally asked the question.

When Mr. Jiang heard the villager's question, he smiled and replied, "This fellow asked a good question. The yield of potatoes is indeed one of the important factors we need to consider before planting."

He went on to explain: "Potato yields are related to many factors, including soil quality, planting techniques, climate, and varieties. Under normal circumstances, if planting conditions are suitable, the potato yield per mu of land is roughly around 2000 to 3000 kilograms. But please note that this is only a rough estimate, and the actual yield may fluctuate due to various factors."

Mr. Jiang further explained: "However, our village chose to grow potatoes not only for its yield. Potatoes are highly adaptable and can grow in a variety of climate and soil conditions. They are also easy to store and can be preserved for a long time."

He paused, then concluded: "In general, our choice to grow potatoes is the result of comprehensive consideration of many factors. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will be able to achieve a good harvest."

"Chief, is this true?" A villager couldn't help but ask again, his voice full of curiosity about the unknown and desire for confirmation from authority.

Jiang Xue nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, Grandpa's estimate is just a conservative one. Under good planting conditions, the potato yield may indeed reach 4,000 kilograms or even 5,000 kilograms."

Her answer was like a reassurance, instantly dispelling the villagers' doubts and anxieties. They began to believe that growing potatoes was indeed a good project worth trying.

Seeing that the villagers were full of expectations for the prospects of potato cultivation, Jiang Xue further introduced the edible diversity of potatoes to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for planting.

She smiled and said, "Fellow villagers, there are so many ways to eat potatoes, and every way is delicious. The simplest way is to roast or boil potatoes directly, and just sprinkle a little salt on them. The original flavor is enough to make people salivate."
