inspire-indiana Chapter 163 Harvest
Chapter 163 Harvest
Li Fan looked at the potatoes in his hands, and he was satisfied with the yield of 8 catties per plant.
After all, there are 1,000 potato seedlings planted in one mu of land.
"Doesn't it mean that this mu of land can produce..."
Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't wait to pull out the second potato plant.
65 catties.
third plant
72 catties
Seeing this, Anna and the others couldn't help but stepped forward to help.
Soon, all the potatoes in an acre of land were pulled out by them.
The final result was a little worse than Li Fan expected.
"It's only 7100 catties!"
Li Fan muttered a little regretfully.
These words made everyone behind him explode.
only?
Other people's potatoes can have 3,000 catties per acre of land, and they have to kneel and thank God for the gift.
This acre of real estate is a full 7,100 catties, and Li Fan dared to say only these two words.
For a moment, everyone wanted to sew Li Fan's mouth shut.
...
Then it was naturally a time of great harvest, and everyone in the valley, including the refugees, took action.
Nearly 1,600 people harvested 100 acres of potatoes naturally very quickly.
In less than three hours, a mountain of potatoes was placed in front of Li Fan.
"There are so many potatoes harvested from one hundred acres of land."
Looking at the 700,000 catties of potatoes in front of them, most people's faces were full of satisfaction.
With these potatoes, at least they weren't starving.
However, there were also a small number of people who showed hesitation on their faces.
After all, this is a potato that matures in 15 days. Naturally, some people worry about whether such potatoes can be eaten? What will happen if you eat it?
In fact, even Anna and the others have concerns in this regard.
Li Fan doesn't care about this. It's easy to prove that potatoes are harmless, just find someone to try them.
The most convincing candidate for tasting is naturally Li Fan who brought these potato seedlings.
Li Fan asked people to set up a bonfire next to the field, and after setting up a few cauldrons.
He pulled Hui Yu to act for himself.
Made these potatoes by hand.
The most basic baked potatoes, boiled potatoes, fried potatoes.
Then there is the slightly more difficult spicy potato shreds.
And the beef brisket with potatoes that he was most looking forward to.
When the five dishes were placed in front of everyone, many people secretly swallowed their saliva due to the scent.
Seeing that many people were drooling in disbelief, Li Fan refused to prove that these potatoes are harmless, and they probably couldn't help but want to have a bite of these potato dishes.
However, Li Fan is very clear that people depend on food.
What are the people in a territory most concerned about?
There is no doubt that there is something to fill them up, and then is it delicious enough.
If it can be proved that the food is edible and can keep them full, the citizens will not have too many demands.
If the food is delicious enough, the citizens will even consciously guard their territory for these delicious foods, and a territory can gain long-term stability.
Li Fan didn't dare to be perfunctory in this matter, and personally tasted every potato dish one by one.
Both baked and boiled potatoes are good, but the freshly dug potatoes have a bit of an earthy smell, which makes these two potato dishes lose points.
Fried potatoes are much better. Not only does it have no earthy smell, but after sprinkling salt and pepper, it tastes exactly like French fries on earth. Unfortunately, there is no happy water.
As for the spicy potato shreds, Li Fan wanted to exchange for a few bowls of rice on the spot, because this dish was too much to eat.
The subsequent roasted beef brisket with potatoes was even more satisfying for Li Fan, and he was full without knowing it.
While holding his stomach in pain, Li Fan realized that almost everyone around him was drooling at him.
Especially the girl Xiaoqing, her resentful eyes seemed as if Li Fan had done something wrong to her.
Seeing that everyone was like this, Li Fan waved his hand directly.
"I'm full of potatoes today."
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
At this time, no one doubted whether these potatoes could be eaten.
...
Baka is a level 2 fighter and a veteran mercenary.
From Winterfell he was employed by several barons.
The barons have lost contact with the mercenaries who went to the sinful forest recently.
And he accepted the commission and came to investigate the reason.
Baka's goal is very clear, which is the evil town, which is the destination of the mercenaries, and it is also the easiest place to find clues about the mercenaries' disappearance.
Baka has been to the town of sin, and soon found the location of the mouth of the valley.
However, when he saw the majestic tower-shaped city gate at the entrance of the valley, Baka froze in place.
And when he saw the dwarves, orcs, and humans on the tower, he was completely shocked.
Baka did not act rashly. After observing for most of the day, he quietly moved away from the valley.
At this time, he has already confirmed that this original human gathering place has been occupied by the orcs and dwarves.
As for the baron's mercenaries, there is a high probability that they were captured by these orcs and dwarves.
Baka turned around immediately, and a few days later he returned to Winter City and reported the incident to several barons.
Several barons were angry at the time, declaring that these orcs and dwarves must be caught and hanged.
The barons then gave Baka a reward of 1 gold coin, telling Baka not to spread the matter, so as not to affect their revenge.
Baka didn't know the plans of these nobles.
Didn't they just fall in love with these orcs and dwarves and want to catch them and sell them to slave traders?
Baka didn't expose them, and took the gold coins with a smile, and promised again and again that he would never leak the news.
However, that night, Baka came to the City Lord's Mansion.
The person who met him was Yolande Caton, the son of the castellan.
Yolande looked at the humble Baka in front of him, "What you said is true? The valley where the evil town is located was occupied by the orcs and dwarves? They also built a gate at the mouth of the valley that is bigger than the gate of Winter City. Huge city gate?"
"Yes, Master Yolande, I saw this with my own eyes." Although Baka was a level 2 fighter, he didn't dare to show any presumptuousness in front of the level 4 great knight Yolande.
Baka is not afraid of offending a few barons. If he offends the person in front of him, regardless of his identity, he can kill him in an instant based on his strength.
Baka thought of this, recalled the scene at that time, and added: "In addition to some orcs and dwarves, I also saw a lot of human races, but it is a little strange that these human races are not like captives. They can move freely, and these human races have a good relationship with the orcs and dwarves, chatting together from time to time."
Yolande was taken aback after hearing this, as if he had thought of something.
"jingle"
Just after Yolande thought for a moment, he suddenly reached out and threw ten gold coins in front of Baka.
A greedy look flashed in Baka's eyes, and he immediately reached out for the gold coins.
At this moment, Yolande stepped on the gold coin.
Bacca was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Yolande looking down at him, and said, "Bacca, I'm very happy that you revealed this to me, but I don't want any third party to know about this Got the news, understand?"
Looking at Yolande's cold eyes, Baka nodded quickly, "Master Yolande, don't worry, I promise not to tell anyone this news."
Baka's promise this time is undoubtedly sincere. After all, if he still wants to hang around in Winter City, he must not offend Yolande.
Yolande also knew this, and did not continue to embarrass Bacca, and retracted his foot.
After Baca took the money and left, Yolande couldn't wait to ask the servant to find Bart who had provided the news of Howard's death.
