Chapter 252 Disappointing Potatoes(1/2)
If someone asks Chen Chu, how many steps are there to collect potatoes in total.
Chen Chu’s answer is three steps.
The first step is to dig the soil.
The second step is to pick up potatoes.
The third step is to pretend and take it away.
It's that simple.
All three-year-olds know it.
But if it were a grand event, even the Emperor and Empress of the Tang Dynasty and the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs attended, it would be different.
The program becomes complicated.
The first step is sacrifice.
This matter was organized by the Ministry of Rites, first offering sacrifices to heaven, then offering sacrifices to the earth, offering sacrifices to Shennong, and then offering sacrifices to the ancestors of Li Er's family.
The second step is to read out Li Er’s gratitude by the Ministry of Rites.
Li Er is grateful for the kindness of God, the education of all peoples, the wind and rain, the mountains, rivers...
Anyway, I'll be grateful for it all.
After finishing all this, an hour has passed.
Everyone present was dry and dry.
Finally, it was the last step, which was to dig potatoes.
He brought a golden hoe as the chief supervisor, raised his hands and handed it to Li Er, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this potato is auspicious, please dig the first one."
The people next to them have already dispersed.
When Li Er took the hoe, Huang Shiren came forward in person, pointed to the first potato at his feet, squatted down, carefully cleaved the few subtle weeds next to the potato, and then said, "Your Majesty, you can do it."
Li Er nodded and walked forward with a golden hoe.
All the civil and military ministers gathered around.
It took half a year to wait for today.
Finally, I’m going to see potatoes with a yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu.
All moods? They are excited.
Some older people can't help but tremble with their hands? This will lead to the whole body trembling.
An old man couldn't help but cry.
"Heavenly blessed the Tang Dynasty, and there are potatoes with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu."
"Mr. Huang should be the first priority."
"Mr. Huang deserves to be promoted."
Everyone is witnessing miracles.
Li Eryi went down the hoe.
Um?
There is nothing.
Huang Shiren said, "Your Majesty, put more force."
"Put hard!"
Bang.
Another hoe goes down.
Huang Shiren turned the dirt over and looked up to everyone and said, "Your Majesty? Queen? Sir, please see... Are these potatoes? Chen Chu can only grow a thousand kilograms per mu, but I can grow a two thousand kilograms per mu? Look, how big is this potato? It looks like a bowl..."
As he was talking, Huang Shiren suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because everyone present looked at him with a fool's eyes.
Something went wrong?
He was stunned.
I saw him bow his head.
I was stunned.
I saw that there was only one potato on the soil where the potato rhizomes were connected.
This potato is not much bigger than the adult's thumb.
this……
What if it was agreed to be bigger than a bowl?
Huang Shiren was stunned.
He was like crazy? He held the dirt blocks and pulled them up suddenly. Until he pulled them off all the dirt blocks? He didn't see any other potatoes.
Li Er and others looked at Huang Shiren in confusion.
Huang Shiren's scalp was numb? He stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, this... this potato? The location is not good. It happens to be a puddle here? It is not conducive to growth. Your Majesty... Look at this plant again. I personally remember that this plant is the best growing in this area, half a waist tall..."
Li Er carried the golden hoe and walked to the position Huang Shiren said.
Bang.
Go down with a hoe.
Turned the dirt directly over.
This time Huang Shiren dared not speak.
He squatted down silently, picked up the dirt and started rummaging.
After searching for a long time, I didn't see a single potato.
The roots of the potato are quite thick.
Huang Shiren was anxious. He snatched the hoe from an official next to him and kept digging it up from the bottom.
Until a large hole was dug out, I didn't see a single potato.
The first potato plant is only a potato the size of a thumb.
The second plant, Huang Shi, has the best growth among the population, and there is not even a single potato.
Li Er's face was a little overwhelmed.
He slammed the golden hoe to the ground with a slam.
After preparing, the heavens sacrificed the earth.
More than an hour.
I plan to tell the world about this.
However, that's it?
Li Er's face suddenly became gloomy.
Huang Shiren was panicked.
He hurriedly got up and stammered, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, there must be something wrong with something..."
Li Er waved his hand and said coldly: "Huang Shiren, I don't want to listen to your explanation again... I will give you half an hour to dig out all the potatoes..."
"Yes, yes, your Majesty, there must be big potatoes behind you. I... The potatoes I planted myself can still produce 500 kilograms per mu, even if they can't keep up with Chen Chu's per mu..."
The more proud Huang Shiren was just now, the more panicked he was now.
He was scared!
As he said that, Huang Shiren directed everyone and began to wave his hoe.
As potatoes were dug up.
Li Er's face became increasingly ugly.
The civil and military ministers also widened their eyes.
Half an hour later.
All the potatoes were digged out.
They were placed neatly in front of Li Er and others.
Li Er said nothing.
Huang Shiren was so scared that he crawled on the ground.
The ministers watched carefully.
