Chapter 927: Beautiful

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The three largest taro rolls were only the size of a goose egg, while most of them were about the size of a duck egg. Two were even smaller, only the size of small eggs.

But for Qiao Xuan, even if there was only one potato the size of an egg, she could multiply it to cover two mu of land within two years.

Potatoes could be divided into several pieces for planting, as long as each piece had a bud. With her superpower, she could ensure that even the smallest potato pieces would grow well.

There were 16 potatoes of different sizes in front of her. After cutting them into pieces, she would have almost 100 pieces, which meant she had 100 potential potatoes.

With her superpower, she could nurture each potato piece carefully, and the harvest would likely exceed just 10 or 20 healthy potatoes.

Next year, they could start planting on a larger scale.

By then, they would have an abundance of potatoes, allowing them to create various delicious dishes.

Potatoes were an excellent resource to combat famine. They could be used as both vegetables and a rice substitute. They were easy to cultivate and not demanding in terms of soil. Their yield was remarkable.

Similar to cassavas, Qiao Xuan had no intention of keeping this resource to herself. She planned to expand beyond Shaoding Village. Each family in the village would receive 20 free potato seeds, and those from other villages could purchase 500 grams of seeds for one wen.

The more Qiao Xuan contemplated this, the more elated she became. Although she had obtained many new crop varieties in the past, this was the first time she felt such immense joy. “Darling, are the taro rolls good?”

Shao Yunduan smiled.

Songshi had already left, and they were alone in the room.

Qiao Xuan said inwardly – of course it was very good, but she could not reveal that. If she did, it would show that she knew too much. Some things could be said to come from books, but she could not just read everything from books.

Qiao Xuan came back to herself – she seemed to be too happy.

It seemed that she should stay calm.

She smiled. “Of course it is a good thing! I found it myself, so I am very happy about it. It is called taro, and it should be similar to ours. But the way the little boss eats it today is different from ours. I wonder if the fruits can be plantedat our place. I really want to have a taste of it now, but there are too few seeds, so we should keep them!”

Only now did Shao Yunduan understand what was going on – the new species they found with their own eyes were different from those they got from others.

It was no wonder that his wife was so happy!

Shao Yunduan smiled. “They are taros too, and they can be planted alive, just like everything else we did.”

He added. “l think there are many of these. If you want to have a taste, you can have two.’

“No, no!” Qiao Xuan waved her hands. “l can’t have a taste of it. I need to keep it and plant it. By autumn, the harvest will be much better!”

These 16 potatoes were too rare to be eaten. No matter how much they missed sour and spicy shredded potatoes, fresh potatoes, dry-fried potatoes, stewed braised pork with potatoes, stewed chicken with potatoes, potato pancakes, deep-fried potato strips, etc.

Shao Yunduan’s words about eating the potatoes really made her heart ache..
