Chapter 21 (2/2)

”How much corn can you produce when you grow the most corn?” Asked the stone bear.

Hongyun hesitated a little and said, ”if it's corn planted in strawberry month, when it's harvested in harvest month (September) or hunter month (October), one side can produce up to five bags of corn.”

This result once again makes the stone bear feel a little reluctant to look directly at it.

Among the Cherokee units of measurement, there are no English units, let alone metric units. Their units of measurement are very simple. For example, this square plot refers to a square plot of about 80 meters by 80 meters, about 640 square meters of later generations, slightly smaller than one mu of later generations.

As for a bag of corn kernels, it's even simpler, because the Cherokees measure grain production based on the capacity of a bag. I've seen that kind of pocket stone bear before. It's not big. It's about half as small as the noodle bag of later generations. If it's full, it can hold about 20 jin of corn.

That is to say, according to Hongyun, the yield of corn planted by Cherokee people is about 100 Jin per mu!

This yield ratio is compared with that of the later corn experimental fields which often yield more than one ton. Even compared with the later fields with an average yield of more than one thousand jin per mu, this yield is also appalling.

Corn is different from wheat. Corn is a high-yield crop, which is recognized by the world. If you plant corn in the future, you will be embarrassed to tell others if your acre is less than 1000 Jin.

But in this era, in the Indian, if the yield can exceed 100 Jin per mu, it will be a good harvest.

Fortunately, there is a lot of wasteland around gaoshu tribe, and there is enough land for these people to toss about. If the Takagi tribe had been in Japan, they would have starved to death.

Seeing the constipation on the stone bear's face, Hongyu seemed to feel a little embarrassed. She said, ”vigorously bear, if you follow the planting method instructed by the supreme Sun God, how many corn grains can you produce in one field?”

The stone bear lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, ”the corn grain produced by one side should be at least 25 bags to 30 bags. If the fertilizer can keep up, it's not impossible for one side to produce 50 bags.”

”How is that possible?” Red cloud incredible looking at the stone bear said.

”Then you don't believe in the supreme Sun God?” Stone bear said with a smile, red cloud suddenly did not speak.

”Well, I won't tease you. Since you mentioned it today, I'll show you the instructions of the sun god. But now we don't grow corn. We're going to grow a crop called winter wheat, so that when strawberry month comes next year, winter wheat will just mature, and after harvest, we can continue to grow corn. ”

The words of the stone bear brightened red cloud's eyes.
