Before the potatoes were harvested, Orville and Archibald, who had traveled to Amy, each sent a letter.
In the letter, Archibald talked about the cooperation between the Thorns Chamber of Commerce and the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, and that the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce has established a branch in Ami, and is currently connecting the trade routes between them to facilitate the delivery of goods.
In this regard, Xia Zuoyi needs to cooperate and coordinate with each other.
Xia Zoe handed the matter over to Foreign Minister Nat to deal with it.
And Archduke Orville mentioned looking for pandas in the letter - of course he didn't find it, he didn't even touch a single bear's hair...
I stayed in Amy for a long time, and finally returned without success.
Xia Zoe wrote a few words of comfort in the reply, and said that if you have time, you can often come to the castle as a guest.
Although the panda does not belong to you, but you can see more.
For this, Xia Zuoyi feels that he is quite generous - he is indeed a good ally!
After replying to the letter, Xia Zoe invited Judit, Fernandi, and Valk to discuss the recent potato harvest.
"Fernandi, Valk, you two sent soldiers to the city where the potato seeds were planted."
"One is to ask people to count the total output of potatoes after planting in each city, and the other is to do a good job in the distribution of potatoes..."
Xia Zuoyi said: "The total production of potatoes is divided into three parts, one is kept in the city for the people to eat, the other is reserved for them to replant, and the last part is transported back to Parshan."
"The edible part of the potato does not need to be left too much. Now the main thing is to expand the planting range of new crops and cover the whole territory as soon as possible."
"Yes, Lord." Fernandi and Valk nodded.
Xia Zuoyi: "Judit, let the Thorns Chamber of Commerce prepare to sell various recipes for potatoes. In addition, the newspaper will also prepare..."
Let the people in the territory grow potatoes voluntarily and enthusiastically, because the yield of potatoes is amazing, and the second is that potatoes are really delicious and have a variety of methods.
When the benefits of potatoes are popularized, it will be easier to spread potatoes everywhere.
Judit and the others led the way.
In view of the importance the lord attaches to the potato harvest, Fernandi sent one of the head of the delegation, Dina, to personally go to a farther city to count the potato production.
Old Beach is the mayor of a village in this city.
He had previously gone to the government hall to collect the potato seeds and planted them, and now it is time to harvest.
To the surprise of Old Beach, the lord even sent a captain of the black cavalry army to come here to count the output in person.
A team of soldiers was waiting aside with pen and paper, weighing tools, trucks and other things.
Old Beach wiped some sweat from his forehead, feeling a little nervous.
"Sir, are we turning the soil here?" Old Beach said to a soldier officer.
The soldier looked at Dina, and after receiving a nod, he said to Old Beach, "Start digging the soil now, count the yield of potatoes, and then distribute them."
Old Beach responded immediately, and then greeted the sturdy young people in the village to pick up farm tools and go to work in the fields.
It has been stated in the previous brochure that the soil should be turned down along the rhizomes.
Old Beach thought that it would be better to pull out such a plant by hand, but after he got off the shovel, he realized that something was wrong. The roots buried under the ground seemed to be...
"Village, village chief, this number is not right." A young man beside him suddenly stammered.
Old Beach turned his head and looked over. The young man moved quickly, and had already turned over all the potatoes under a rhizome.
At a glance, there are no less than eight or nine potatoes. The most important thing is that they are all about the size of an adult's palm. Even if they are a little smaller, they are still considerable.
Seeing this, Old Beach couldn't help but breathe urgently and heavily—there are eight or nine potatoes under such a rhizome, isn't the whole land...
"Don't dig soon!" Old Beach shouted quickly.
All the shocked young people immediately moved subconsciously, turned the soil... The rhizomes of each plant began to be dug out, and piles of potatoes gradually appeared.
Dyna nodded secretly, it seems that the potato harvest here is very good.
Old Beach's mood from the initial constant inhalation to the gradual calm down, the whole field of potatoes has been harvested.
He looked at the scene in the whole field, and his heart began to tremble with excitement again.
This, this production is too much!
The young people in the village also looked stunned. After a while, even some elderly people, women and children at home began to watch from the edge of the field, and the discussion became louder and louder.
In the end, Dyna had to dispatch some soldiers to maintain order.
Dana asked Old Beach to come over: "Let people follow the soldiers to transport potatoes from the other side of the land to this side. After the statistics are finished, part of them will be transported to Mount Parr, and the other half will be divided into two parts. "
"Part of it can be eaten as food. The Thorns Chamber of Commerce will soon sell various methods of potato, and the other part will be kept for cultivation and continue to grow..."
After Dina made it clear what Lord Lord had told him, he asked Old Beach to take someone to count together.
Generally speaking, one pound of potatoes can be planted as seed potatoes, which can yield about 100 to 300 kilograms.
If it is more successful in the germination stage, the yield of potatoes will also increase to a certain extent, and then it depends on the planting density of potatoes.
The Old Beach Village has a wider range of land, and the final potato weighing surprised everyone.
—It actually reached the level of more than 700 kilograms!
Potato production is an incredible number in the context of this era.
Even though Dana was already mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel his fast-beating chest at this moment: "This is really..."
Old Beach swallowed his saliva: "Sir, how much do we have to keep..."
With so many potatoes left, they were definitely enough to eat.
The lord has already calculated the proportional distribution, and Dana distributed the potatoes that were reserved for food and seed potatoes according to the total potato production, and the rest were all shipped to Parr Mountain.
The cities that have received the potato seeds are busy one after another.
The news spread again and again, and finally reached the border cities of the territory. At the same time, recipes for potato dishes were also sold in the Thorns Chamber of Commerce.
This part of the potatoes shipped to Paarshan will be sent to the border and other cities later.
In this way, the potato planting range is almost covering the entire territory of Desinia.
After the people in the territory began to try to make delicious food with potatoes, Xia Zoe had already packed her bags and planned to go to Powell Country soon.
In view of the particularity of the climate in the extreme north, Xia Zuoyi decided to bring only three animals from the snow-capped mountains, namely ice cream, egg cake, and rice cake.
Xia Zuoyi held a cute rice cake in her arms, a handsome ice cream in one hand, and Eggman's stupid and cute dog's head in the other hand and said, "We agreed in advance that no trouble is allowed outside."
Danzi snorted and licked his father affectionately, not knowing if he heard it.
It was the beginning of November at this time, and the further north we went, the colder it became.
Although it wasn't enough to change into a padded jacket, the cold wind and icy air were already coming, and the ground gradually became stiff.
Xia Zuoyi had ordered the tailor to make a sufficient number of winter jackets and winter coats. Almost everyone in the team going to Powell Country had one, and the extras were put in boxes for display.
When approaching the boundary of Powell Country, this place is no different from the cold winter. After entering Powell Country, it is estimated that the climate is extremely cold, and the water poured outside will be frozen into icicles in a short time.
Xia Zuoyi wrapped himself tightly, and also wore a cotton-filled ear protection hat on the top of his head, which had a very good warmth retention effect.
He ordered the tailor in the castle to make a cotton-padded coat for the Pope who was coming, and it looked brand new from head to toe, especially the hat of the same style as his.
Xia Zoe was secretly having fun for a long time after seeing the Pope wearing an ear-protecting hat.
- The style does not match the person.
But in any case, the ear-protecting hat with a bit of a naive atmosphere will inevitably add a bit of fashion synonymous to the Pope's body.
Two days later, Xia Zuoyi's team successfully entered the extreme north.
The piercing cold came, and everyone put on thick cotton-padded clothes, fully armed, and finally able to keep out the cold.
The hard ground has been covered with a thick layer of snow, and the surrounding plants have become very sparse. The cold wind raised snow particles and slammed on the door, making a rustling sound.
Danzi has been acting dishonestly, always wanting to stick his dog's head out of the car window and look out. Even if Xia Zuoyi tugs at his ears and reprimands him, he will only be obedient for a while, and then he will return to his old ways.
Xia Zuoyi had no choice but to pounce on the grown-up Husky, hugged Eggman firmly and said, "Why did I tell you before I came here, I'm not obedient now?!"
"Ow." Danzi cried innocently, and the husky with three fire linings between his eyebrows was very handsome.
For so long, Danzai has grown a lot from the cubs of Milk Hem, and his body size is much larger than that of ordinary huskies, and he is almost catching up with Brown Sugar.
Danzi likes to act like a spoiled child. Seeing Xia Zuoyi tugging at its ears, he shoved it into his arms. However, it was no longer a cub. The heavy weight overwhelmed Xia Zuoyi in the Pope's arms behind him. In the middle, people also sat on the lap of the Pope...
The tips of Xia Zoe's ears hidden under the hat were hot.
Segalot chuckled, then hugged Xia Zoey's waist, saving him from falling to the side in the bumpy carriage.
Eggman was still making a fuss, but fortunately, the ice cream got up from the large carriage at this time, grabbed the husky's neck and dragged him away.
"Woo." Eggman lowered his ears pitifully.
Xia Zuoyi: Don't pretend to be pitiful, don't be sympathetic.
