The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445: Chapter 418: Abundant Harvest (Double-Length Chapter)_3

The gentleman truly gave birth to a good daughter, who else’s maiden can relieve her parents’ worries and contribute bricks and mortar to the family’s prosperity at such a young age?

Old Madame Yan saw that the two had finished speaking and smiled, “Girl, if your dad wants to bring people over for a tour, this place might need to be used to receive everyone.”

Daohua nodded, “No problem, but there’s not much stuff here, we’ll need to get some cups and utensils.”

Old Madame Yan smiled, “You don’t need to worry about this, your mother has prepared everything, and we’ll have it moved from the boat in a bit.”

Teacher Xiao stood up, “I’ll go take a look at the fields now.”

Old Madame Yan looked towards Yan Zhiqiang, and Yan Zhiqiang immediately took Teacher Xiao out.

...

“Come on, let’s go up the mountain and see your elder sister and your master.”

…

The day after Old Madame Yan arrived, Taohua Village began buzzing with activity, with people coming in waves and strolling around the fields where Daohua had planted yams, causing the tenant farmers to think there was a thief, patrolling and watching closely every day.

On the fifth day, Yan Zhigao led a group of people to Taohua Village in a grand manner.

There were officials, respected elders from all over the district, and quite a few seasoned farmers, as well as ordinary people following behind to watch.

In addition, many business-savvy merchants from Zhongzhou also arrived.

Merchants pursue profit; the sale of Xingzhou’s watermelon and grapes had made many a good sum of silver. Now that they heard Magistrate Yan was promoting a new product, they had to come and take a look.

Yan Zhigao knew that people would not believe in the yield per acre of yams unless they saw it with their own eyes, no matter how eloquently he spoke, “Little brother, start digging, and later on, Fan Tongzhi and I will come personally to weigh how much the yield per acre is.”

Yan Zhiqiang nodded, found a dozen farmers who excelled in their work, and began digging up yams.

“Everyone be careful when digging; don’t damage them, as it is not easy to preserve them if they are damaged.”

Seeing the harvested yams were three to four fingers wide, long and thick, everyone grew eager with excitement.

Soon, one acre of yams was harvested.

Yan Zhigao called the officials over to weigh them.

“Did you calculate it? How high is the yield per acre?”

An excited voice rose, “My lord, it is fifteen stones!”

Upon hearing this number, everyone became ecstatic.

Yan Zhigao saw the crowd’s enthusiasm and raised his hand to signal for quiet, “Our yams have a large yield because they were well-tended; others’ crops may not produce as much.”

Fan Tongzhi laughed, “Even if it is a little less, harvesting a mere ten stones per acre would still be considered high yield.”

One must know that the value of yams is much higher than ordinary crops.

Yan Zhigao smiled, “Now everyone has seen the yield of the yams, but we still don’t know how they taste. So, let’s do this, I will treat everyone to yam soup at noon today to sample the flavor.”

Fan Tongzhi immediately smiled, “Then we’re truly in for a treat.”
