Chapter 7, Potato and Sweet Potato Support!)

Covenus followed Evos over the cultivated land, and at the same time, Covenus also understood the general situation in his heart.

The most important plant in the Silver Berry Tribe is rye, which is the main raw material for making black bread.

However, due to drought and little rain, some of the wheat seedlings that were already one meter high in the entire thousand acres of arable land have died of waste.

This is because the people who planted every day pulled water from the Tatamu River twenty miles away, otherwise these wheat seedlings would have died of waste!

"Sir, please look!" Soon, Evos stopped and pointed at the cultivated land dozens of meters away for Covennas to see.

Covennas was a little excited and rushed to the cultivated land. The chief's demeanor was all lost at this time.

"Okay, not bad!"

Kovenus came to this farmland that was completely different from the rye farmland. Looking at the green seedlings covered with familiar crops, his smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Sir, this crop called potato is very drought-resistant. We water rye every day, but we still see no hope. However, we only water this potato once every five or six days, and it grows very gratifying!" said Evos.

Potato?

Lott was very puzzled, why he had never heard of potatoes before.

"How many acres of this potato have you planted?" Covennas asked with concern.

"We planted ten acres of land that you told us." Evos replied.

"Good job, where is the sweet potato field?" Covennas looked at Evos.

Hearing the chief's praise, Ecovas was very happy and quickly pointed to the other side respectfully and said, "It's there, we still planted ten acres of land as you told me."

"Go and go and have a look!"

Soon, the three of them came to another cultivated land.

"Okay, it's growing well!" Covennas squatted down and pulled up a handful of sweet potato vines and said excitedly.

"What are these two crops? Why haven't I seen them before?" Lott finally couldn't help asking when he saw his nephew's excitement.

After all, no matter what potato or sweet potato it is, he has never even heard of these two crops with very twisted names.

"Uncle Second, what do you think of these two crops?" Covennas asked squatted on the ground.

"It's growing well and looks very lush!" said Lott.

Compared to the half-dead rye on the other side, these two crops are as green as spring and look very good.

"The one I just called potato, and this one was called sweet potato. It was an ancient crop I obtained from an ancient ruin." Covennas said.

Of course, to put it this way, it is completely a fool to his second uncle, because he exchanged his reputation from the mall more than a month ago.

He didn't exchange it much, after all, he was just trying to experiment at that time.

Unlike now, he is the chief, and there is a crisis in the tribe's food, so he thought of this.

"Relics? Ancient crops?" Lott frowned, and he expressed his great doubts. Since it was an ancient crop, why hadn't it appeared?

However, his nephew said this, obviously he didn't want to tell him the truth, and he was not worried about it.

He just wants to know now, what are the functions of these potatoes and sweet potatoes?

"Yes, they are all ancient crops!" Covennas repeated again when he saw his second uncle's skeptical gaze.

"Don't underestimate these two crops, both of which have very drought-tolerant properties, and the degree of drought that rye cannot withstand is only a trivial level for them."

"And, do you know the yield of these two crops per mu?" Covennas glanced at his second uncle and kept it a secret.

"Is it so drought-tolerant?" Lott was a little surprised, and then he became interested in acre yield.

Seeing that Uncle II stared at him, Covennas didn't intend to keep it a secret and stretched out five fingers.

"Five hundred kilograms?" Lott asked in surprise, even Evos looked at Covennas in surprise.

After all, the yield per mu is 500 kilograms, and the output is completely greater than that of rye.

When the weather is good, the yield per mu of rye is only 300 to 400 kilograms, but with the current drought, the yield per mu is probably even 100 kilograms.

If potatoes can produce 500 kilograms per mu, it would be a great joy.

"Five hundred jin? Second Uncle, you underestimate ancient crops too much!" Covennas chuckled and shook his head.

"The per mu yield capacity reaches 5,000 kilograms!" Covennas smiled and stretched out five fingers again. As a high-yield crop, potatoes were the main food in almost some regions in the previous world. If they had not had such high yields, a lot of people would have starved to death in those areas.

"Five... thousand... kilograms?" Lott could no longer hold his serious face and showed his shocked gaze.

Ecovas was also shocked. If it could really reach a yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu, then the Silverman tribe would not have to harvest millions of kilograms of grain.

If there is so much food, it would be more than enough to feed the Silver Berry Tribe.

Seeing the shock of the two, Covennas smiled.

There is magical power of earth attributes in this world. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are well suited to planting in this world through the hands of the system mall.

Therefore, maybe the yield per mu is much more than 5,000 kilograms.

"This is the per mu of potatoes, and the per mu of sweet potatoes may reach 10,000 kilograms." Covennas released a bomb again.

Lott and Jovos were immediately stunned!

"Output of ten thousand kilograms per mu?" Lott murmured. If this is the case, then the time for the rise of the Silver Berry Tribe is really here.

In the orc tribe, food is the lifeblood. With food, it can quickly attract wandering orcs and small tribes that are short of food and famine to surrender and quickly strengthen their strength.

Covennas ignored the two of them, but squatted down and found a very majestic sweet potato vine, and found its roots along the vine.

Sweet potato is a crop that is more highly yielded and stable than potatoes. It has the characteristics of wide adaptability, strong stress resistance, drought resistance, and fewer pests and diseases. It also has very high nutritional value.

After Covennas found the root, he immediately inserted his finger into the soil and pulled it upwards, and a complete sweet potato vine was pulled out.

A series of small sweet potatoes on top are hung on the roots.

"It's a little small, but it's very dense, and it seems that the soil has very high nutrients," said Covennas.

Although it has only been forty or fifty days, the largest sweet potato on it is already as big as a fist, which fully demonstrates the fertility of the land.

At the same time, Lott and Evos, who had recovered from the shock, also looked over.

"Sir, is this the sweet potato?" Ecovas asked first.

Because this is the first time he has seen the true face of sweet potatoes.

"This is sweet potato, but the time is too short now, and it will take at least three months to harvest. However, the soil nutrients are quite high, and the sweet potato is so big!" Covennas nodded, then picked a small sweet potato and handed it to his second uncle.

"Is this?" Lott looked at the sweet potato handed over by his nephew, feeling a little at a loss.

"Try it, the sweet potatoes are also delicious!" Covennas smiled.

Lott was stunned, eating raw? But he still took it.

Covenus picked another sweet potato and handed it to Evos.

As for the biggest sweet potato, it is naturally in his hands.
