After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

A few days later, Xu Qingqing, who had recovered her spirit, put farming on the agenda.

After completing his daily martial arts practice, he stored the necessary tools into the space and followed his eldest brother to the experimental field.

When they arrived at the experimental field, Xu Qingqing took out a pile of sprouted potatoes from the space.

"Qingqing, what are these? So many? Can they be eaten?" Xu Song, who was busy hoeing the ground, stood up and looked at those round unknown plants with some curiosity.

Xu Qingqing raised her head proudly: "These are potatoes! You have never seen them before! Let me tell you, these potatoes are amazing. If you plant them well, you can harvest 3 to 5000 kilograms per acre!"

"And the seeds are the sprouts of these potatoes. If it really succeeds, it can be shipped out to solve the food problem of the people in many areas!"

Xu Song's eyes sparkled, but he was still confused: "What are potatoes? I've never heard of them. Are they delicious?"

After asking this question, Xu Song slapped himself and said, "Look at what I said. If people can have enough to eat now, who cares about the taste? It's a blessing not to starve to death."

"Hey, brother, don't underestimate potatoes. They can be fried, boiled, or stewed with meat. They can be eaten as a meal!"

"It has a high yield, a strong sense of fullness, and is rich in nutrition! If we cultivate it and then promote it, the people will never lack food and drink in the future!"

"But you can't eat sprouted potatoes, nor can you eat green ones. They are poisonous! But they are perfect for use as seeds."

After listening to Xu Qingqing's explanation, Xu Song was excited: "If it's really as you said, Qingqing, then this is really a gold nugget! When the time comes to cultivate it, let Dad take it to the Ministry of Revenue..."

Having said this, Xu Song suddenly stopped talking, and everyone present was silent for a moment.

Now they...

It’s all because of that old thief Li Feng…

Even Xu Ling's eyes were blank for a rare moment.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly freeze, Xu Qingqing immediately changed the subject: "Brother, Uncle Yan, Dad, come and help me cut the potatoes into pieces so that they can be planted later!"

"Hey, okay!"

Several people sorted out their thoughts and responded quickly.

He took a few steps forward, took the potatoes handed to him by Xu Qingqing and started cutting them into pieces. Everyone tacitly skipped the previous topic.

While they were cutting potatoes, Xu Qingqing took out the wood ash she had prepared in advance and sprinkled it on the cut potatoes. This would reduce insect pests and add fertilizer to the soil.

With more people, things can be done faster. Soon, Xu Qingqing and her elder brother started planting potatoes.

It rained a little late last night, so there is no need to water the plants.

Xu Song dug a small hole in the field according to Xu Qingqing's request, and Xu Qingqing followed him and threw potato pieces into the small hole.

After the potatoes were planted, Xu Qingqing straightened up, twisted her sore waist, looked back at the planted potatoes, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Xu Song, Xu Ling and others looked at the piece of land as if they were looking at some heirloom treasure that was about to be born.

In fact, Xu Qingqing's original plan was to cultivate and grow winter wheat.

But when he thought about the hungry people he saw along the way, he thought it would be safer to grow potatoes, a simple and effective food, first, to solve the people's problem of food and clothing, and then talk about other things.

Moreover, Xu Qingqing had previously studied many tools to improve agricultural production. Once she found an opportunity, she believed that she would be able to lead the people to live a life of plenty.
