Chapter 438 is all about dark history.
Xie Ying blinked in feigned curiosity: "How much?"
Xie Tang raised three fingers and said excitedly, "The yield per mu is 3,000 kilograms! Yingying, do you know what this means? It means the yield is incredibly high!"
Xie Ying's look was indescribable.
The people in the palace have worked so hard for so long, but the yield per mu is only 3,000 kilograms. Do you dare to brag about this?
Fortunately, she secretly induced the growth of the sweet potatoes she planted at home during the seedling stage, and did not dare to do it again afterwards. Otherwise, the yield per mu would reach more than 10,000 kilograms, which would be too outrageous.
What do others think?
And has this kid forgotten that the potatoes grown by grandpa yielded 1,000 kilograms last month, which means the yield per mu is 5,000 kilograms!
It’s much better than those grown in the palace.
Of course, such per-acre yield is not because the palace gardeners are incompetent. After all, they don’t have Xie Ying as a cheat.
Although Xie Ying only produced some seedlings during the seedling stage to ensure that all the cuttings would survive, this alone was enough to surpass the gardeners in the palace.
What's more, the gardeners had just started working with potatoes and sweet potatoes and were not familiar with them. When they planted them, they did not dare to cut them into pieces for seedlings, but planted the whole thing.
After the sweet potato vines and potato seedlings grew out, they also tried to propagate them by cuttings. However, since it was a task assigned by the emperor after all, they did not dare to be too radical and would rather do less and make fewer mistakes.
Therefore, when taking cuttings, I didn't dare to take too many cuttings, for fear that the cuttings would fail and a large number of seedlings would be lost.
So even though these people planted 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 100 kilograms of potatoes, the number of seedlings in the end was less than what Tu Yong planted.
After planting, they took great care of the plants, watering, fertilizing, weeding and catching insects, and did not dare to be negligent.
But it’s still not as good as Xie Ying’s cheat.
Even if she didn't induce labor, the wood energy released during her daily practice was enough to nourish the plants growing in the Xie family's yard, making the plants in the house grow more lush.
Moreover, Tu Yong is a professional farmer and is more experienced in caring for grains, vegetables and fruits than the gardeners in the palace.
Gardeners are used to growing flowers, but when growing sweet potatoes and potatoes, they accidentally miss the point, so that even though the leaves and flowers look beautiful, the final result is somewhat unsatisfactory.
It's not that they are incompetent. After all, everyone has their own expertise. Emperor Taihe asked the gardener to take care of it, but he chose the wrong person.
Just as Xie Ying was thinking about it, she heard Xie Tang say with anticipation, "I wonder what the yield per mu of the sweet potatoes we grow will be? If the yield per mu of these sweet potatoes is also very good, I wonder if Grandpa can get a promotion? I really want to go dig them up right now!"
Xie Ying immediately started to have bad intentions: "Then you go dig it?"
She dared to say that if Xie Tang dared to dig, Tu Yong would definitely spank him when he came back!
Xie Tang's heart was soon moved, but when he thought of Tu Yong, he shrank back in fear: "This is bad, right? Grandpa will beat me if he finds out!"
At this time, Xie Rou also said, "Don't dig around randomly. Those sweet potatoes are my grandfather's treasures, and the sweet potatoes we grow are to be saved for seeds. If you dig them up badly, you won't be able to save the seeds. Don't do that randomly, or my grandfather will definitely beat you up!"
Xie Tang was already a little worried, and after hearing what she said, he was even more afraid to dig.
Xie Ying didn't really want him to dig, she was just teasing him.
So when she heard her sister say this, she stopped encouraging her.
Unexpectedly, Xie Tang completely gave up the idea of digging sweet potatoes, but instead set his eyes on her grapes.
He raised his head, staring intently at the grapes, and said, "Yingying, do you want to eat some grapes? I'll pick them for you right away!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Ying to answer, he put her back on the rocking chair and ran to get the ladder.
Xie Ying's originally chubby face turned black with anger: "I don't want to eat!"
This brother is really too much. It was obviously he who wanted to eat the grapes, but he actually framed her!
What did he think of her? The one who took the blame for him?
It turns out that he is itching to be punished!
When grandpa and dad come back, she will definitely complain!
Xie Tang quickly brought a ladder over and prepared to climb up to pick grapes.
Xie Rou wanted to stop him: "Don't be silly, Di Ge'er has been craving grapes. If you pick them, he will definitely ask for them. If he gets sick from eating them, Mom will definitely beat you up!"
Xie Tang quickly dodged her, set up the ladder and climbed up, saying as he climbed: "Then I won't give it to Di Ge'er!"
Xie Rou wanted him to come down, but he was climbing so fast and she was afraid he would fall. She could only watch nervously and helplessly warn him, "Be careful!"
As he was speaking, he saw Xie Tang had already crawled in front of the grapes and reached out to pick a bunch of grapes.
She was very envious.
In fact, she also wanted to climb up and pick grapes, but this was the capital city, and she couldn't embarrass her parents, so she had to pretend to be a lady.
Xie Tang picked a bunch of grapes and came down.
The grape plant in their family grew exceptionally well, producing many grapes that were big and sweet.
Although Xie Ying was very unhappy that Xie Tang took the blame for her, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy when she saw Xie Tang and the others greedily eating the grapes.
This grape was the one she had Black Qilin Guard dig up after she had forced it to grow in the mountains.
As the owner of the mountain, she was given this one plant.
After transplanting it to the garden in the main courtyard, she quietly encouraged the growth every day, which made the grape plant grow better and better. The vines soon climbed all over the trellis and then produced bunches of heavy grapes.
Ever since the grapes started to grow, many people in the family have been eyeing them.
Not only Xie Di, the foodie, drooled at the grapes every day, even the maids in the house couldn't help but stare at the grapes.
Every time I pass by, I take a closer look, for fear that they will be pecked by birds.
As the grapes gradually ripen, everyone becomes more greedy.
In July, the grapes were the first to ripen, and Xie Tang climbed up the ladder and couldn't wait to pick them and taste them.
Xie Ying had previously grown Kyoho grapes, but they were all improved varieties. The grapes were large and sweet, and a bunch could weigh more than two kilograms.
Ever since Xie Di tasted the grapes, he had been obsessed with them. He would stare at them every day and even ask people to pick grapes for him.
It’s just that he is small, has a weak stomach, and is teething.
Tu Jiaojiao was worried that he would upset his stomach and teeth, so she didn't let him eat much, which made the boy so angry that he cried loudly.
Now that he saw that the grapes on the shelf were getting fewer and fewer, Xie Di became even more worried.
Seeing that he was drooling with greed, Xie Ying couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Unfortunately, this is ancient times, and I can’t use my mobile phone to take a picture of my silly brother’s greedy look and show it to him when he grows up.
These are all dark histories.
No, she must find a way to draw it!
