Chapter 351 Miracle
"Also...you candied haws."
Three blocks away, the little fat man handed back the last candied haws to Qin He with a look of disbelief.
Just now this person gave him a bunch of candied haws, and he took the beaten Flying Fish guard and left.
He thought he didn't want the candied haws, but he never expected that the other party came to find him after three streets.
This is amazing~
"You just left one for me? Where's the sugar on it?" Qin He took the candied haws, his face twitching, the last of the candied haws that was handed to him at this moment, and the sugar wrapped in it was still licked clean up.
"I didn't know you would come back to ask for it." The fat man looked Qin He up and down with contempt, but what he said was true.
And what he didn't know was that the reason why Qin He was able to find him three streets away was because of the marking spell on him.
If he knew, it would not be contempt in the eyes at this moment, but pointing at him to ridicule.
The majestic Qingniu Daxian, the calibration technique is used to find candied haws.
How petty is this!
If I had known it earlier, I would have eaten it soon, so why bother licking candy for a long time.
"Anyway, you keep half of it." Qin He had a look of disgust, the fruit was slippery and watery, and his mouth was full of water.
"Cut, it's just your sweet potatoes and candied haws, I don't care much about it." The fat man rolled his eyes in disdain, and walked away arrogantly.
In troubled times, thin ghosts are everywhere, but there are not a few fat ones. He can grow fat, so he is not a child of ordinary people. A bunch of candied haws is really not rare.
However, Qin He didn't get angry at this moment, but was stunned.
Because the fat man said that the candied haws are "sweet potato" candied haws.
This made Qin He's mind flash.
Sweet potato, also called sweet potato, sweet potato.
This is a high-yield miscellaneous grain, and it can be planted in any field in the wilderness without picking the land.
With this thing, land with soil is fertile land.
In addition to sweet potatoes, there are also corn and potatoes, known as the three treasures of high yield.
Before Dali, the vast eastern land could accommodate a maximum of 80 million people, and any more would inevitably lead to chaos.
Only when the riots lead to the death of seven or eight people and the contradictions between people and land are eased, can we start again.
This is the secret of reincarnation.
But in the time and space of the later generations, even in the last years of the Di Dynasty, even if there were years of wars and the people were in dire straits, they still had a population of 40 million.
Five times the difference!
This is the contribution of high-yield miscellaneous grains.
There is no need for any advancement in farming technology, just the difference in farming.
The wheat and rice in this time and space are not only low-yielding, but also delicate. If there is a slight drought or flood, you will have no harvest.
"Is this really a sweet potato?" Qin He looked at the last candied haws in his hand.
How to describe this taste, after chewing a thin layer of sugar coating on the outside, it tastes like chewing wax, neither bitter nor sweet nor astringent, can't taste anything, and it has a heavy fiber feel, not at all like the sweet potatoes of later generations.
"Could it be because the variety hasn't been improved?" Qin He wondered whether it was a sweet potato or not.
After thinking about it, Qin He went to the vegetable market.
If you want to say where this thing is sold, the biggest possibility is the vegetable market.
After a while, the vegetable market arrived.
Grandma Huang was still carefully choosing vegetables in the corner of the vegetable market. She moved very slowly, and her wrinkled face revealed the kindness and tranquility of the years.
Bean sprouts, cabbage, and chives are neatly arranged on the grass in front of them, and they are so bright.
When Grandma Huang saw Qin He, she smiled kindly: "It's been a long time since I saw the little official come to the vegetable market."
"I just came back from a long journey." Qin He squatted down with a smile, and said, "A while ago I heard that your son was in poor health. I don't know if he is better now."
"Okay, okay." Granny Huang's face became brighter, and she said, "It's all the appearance of the Great Immortal of the Green Ox. Not only did I recover, I even passed the provincial examination last autumn."
Speaking of her own son, Grandma Huang couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Yo, this is a jury, gratifying and congratulations."
Qin He smiled and cupped his hands, and said again: "It won't be long before Chunwei, son, if you go one step further, you will be a Jinshi on the third list, maybe you will be the number one scholar."
"Thank you for your auspicious words." Grandma Huang narrowed her eyes when she smiled.
Afterwards, Qin He chatted with Grandma Huang for a few more words, then took out sweet potatoes and asked, "Grandma Huang, where do you think these things are sold?"
"Is this a sweet potato?" Grandma Huang looked at it with cloudy eyes, and said, "There is a kind of sweet potato at the pig farm. It seems to be used to feed pigs. I haven't seen this kind of thing before."
"Pig farm?" Qin He's eyes lit up slightly.
What the hell, it turns out that this thing was really used to feed pigs in the first place.
The seller of candied haws actually used pig food to make candied haws, his conscience was greatly broken.
Bah, profiteer!
After hearing the news, Qin He went to the pig farm again.
Qin He had heard of the pig farm outside the city earlier, and it happened to be the property of the Zhongshan Palace.
In troubled times, food prices are skyrocketing, food is a problem, but meat is even more difficult. It is good for the common people to raise a few chickens, but pigs are absolutely not dared to raise.
Only the rich and powerful would open livestock farms in order to obtain stable meat, and consume some moldy and damp grains, which were basically self-produced and sold.
Not long after, Qin He left the city and came to the pig farm. As expected, he found a mountain of sweet potatoes in a hidden shack behind the pig farm.
They were all taken back from the ground. On the sweet potatoes as big as a child's fist, there were dead seedlings wrapped in mud.
A man in charge was lying on a rocking chair, and three or five servants were busy chopping and filling barrels to make pig food.
Seeing this, Qin He changed the Variety God Clothes into a red robe and flying fish clothes, and with the Xiuchun knife on his shoulder, he jumped over the wall and entered.
The person in charge was Qiu Sanhai, a D-level butler of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, and he was the most unpopular type of D-level housekeeper. He was thrown in this pig farm and lived with livestock and pig manure all day long.
Qiu Sanhai trembled when he saw Qin He.
The red robe flying fish suit, this is the robe color of Fei Yuwei Qianhu, at worst, it must be a god catcher.
These people are all ruthless characters who can't agree with each other.
Qiu Sanhai and a few servants didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly ran forward and knelt down to greet him: "I see you, little Qiu Sanhai... I've seen Feiyu go on business."
Although this is the property of the Zhongshan Palace, but he, Qiu Sanhai, is just a fringe housekeeper of the Palace, and he has neither the confidence nor the guts to neglect a Feiyuwei Qianhu.
What surprised him was that this Qianhu appeared alone.
"Did you grow these sweet potatoes?" Qin He asked straight to the point.
"Yes... the little one led them to plant." Qiu Sanhai shuddered all over, and cautiously asked: "I don't know if there is a big business trip, but what can I do for the little one."
"Tell me honestly, when did you start growing sweet potatoes, what did you grow them for, and where did you get them from?" Qin He threw the question away.
Although sweet potatoes are highly productive, it took a long time to be discovered and accepted by people.
Unexpectedly, this place has already scaled up, which is really surprising.
When Qiu Sanhai heard Qin He's trial-like questions, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants. Under the panic, he explained everything he could and couldn't say.
It's the same word, Leigh.
The pig farm feeds pigs, and every pig is counted, and the tide and mildew grains sent are also counted. Although there are 180 pigs raised, pigs are precious animals after all. No matter how big or small they are, they must be handed over. Inspected butchered.
There is not much room for Qiu Sanhai to fill his own pocket, at least not enough to satisfy his appetite, otherwise it would not be his turn to take care of this pig farm.
With no backing, Qiu Sanhai couldn't let go of his courage.
There is no way to make profits from pigs, so they can only make money from pig food.
Here again, that sentence is echoed, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Qiu Sanhai made many inquiries, and finally found a pig food that could replace moldy grains and tide grains, which was sweet potatoes.
He asked someone to get some seeds from the south, and began to try planting and feeding in a small area. After finding that there were no problems, he became bolder and planted all the wasteland around the pig farm.
Sweet potatoes don’t pick the land, they don’t need to be taken care of, and they don’t need to be fertilized. They can produce as soon as they are planted, it’s just a matter of how much or how little.
With new rations for pigs, the mildewed and wet rations that were transported could be freed up for sale.
Taking advantage of this to make a profit, Qiu Sanhai has finally lived a relatively healthy life these years, with a lot of money, the pigs are also good, and the servants are assessed every year.
Qin He's sudden appearance made him instinctively think that the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion found out about his affairs, and that this was done through the hands of Fei Yuwei.
"Shangguan spares my life, Shangguan spares my life, I don't dare to do it anymore." Qiu Sanhai kowtowed repeatedly after speaking, panicking.
"Forgive me, I'm just passing by to take a look. This thing is pretty good, and it's a variety." Qin He said, and after finishing speaking, he patted Qiu Sanhai and the others on the head one by one, turned around and left.
Everyone immediately looked at me and I looked at you, covering their heads in shock.
Because there is a lot of strange knowledge in their minds, called "Sweet Potato Breeding and Planting Technology".
This is... a miracle!
