Chapter 42 (1/2)

As soon as he heard the word ”treasure”, Qin Shuo's eyes were bright. He thought that he could have some magic weapons, but as soon as he went out, he saw several people digging a lump of grass.

”What treasure? What kind of treasure is this lump of grass? Ancient herbs? ”

The one who just yelled was Jiang Lao, so Qin Shuo also joked to him.

”Remember the specialty I mentioned before? It seems to be the grass in front of me. This is it. ”

Jiang replied excitedly.

Qin Shuo didn't dare to take it lightly when he heard this. He remembered what Jiang had said before and hurried to several people.

At this time, several people have dug out the lump of grass on the ground, but at the bottom there are also a few yellow small soil lumps, which seems to be his fruit.

Seeing the small pieces of earth on the ground, Qin Shuo suddenly had a feeling of suffocation. It was a happy suffocation.

How can such things appear in this era? My God, with this thing, I don't have to worry about food for my future rise.

”This can't be sweet potato, but why is it in this era?”

Suppressing his surprise, Qin Shuo took a deep breath, and a doubt suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, after thinking for a while, I didn't understand, so I simply put the blame on the system bug, which is too big.

Qin Shuo naturally was the first time to explore the attributes of this sweet potato, want to see whether he thought wrong.

[item]: sweet potato

[grade]: Spirit

[attribute]: sweet taste, used for satiety, unknown source.

[yield]: extremely high.

Qin Shuo was confused about these properties. However, he was not surprised that the simple sweet potato was rated as a god class crop because of its value.

According to the earliest legend, sweet potato was obtained by Chen Zhenlong, a Fujian native, when he went to Luzon to trade in the Ming Dynasty, which happened to be the famine in central Fujian.

Chen Zhenlong was also worried, so he gave the crop to the governor of the time, Jin Xue, who had tried to plant it. In the end, he really achieved good results, which greatly alleviated such a famine.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the main crops were rice and wheat, but because of the backward productivity, the yield per mu was less than a stone.

There are not as many crops as there are now, which is one of the reasons why there were so many famines in ancient China, that is, the productivity and relations of production were too backward.

Although the pursuit of intensive farming, but compared with modern is very rough, also do not know about the cultivation of crops.

Although there are thousands of acres of fertile land near shuobai village, it is only enough for 3000 people to eat. Now, a month later, there is not much grain left.
