Chapter 848 Potatoes Drive Business
When Bai Feng saw everyone's puzzled looks, he just smiled calmly and said:
"it's actually really easy."
“Potatoes drive business, we just need to change its form.”
"For example, these potatoes can be sliced and fried to make potato chips."
"Potato chips are not a staple food, they are snacks. They are very delicious and can be packaged for retail."
Cao Chong was stunned immediately:
"What are these potato chips?"
Bai Feng laughed and said:
"This can't be explained by just talking. I have to hide it."
"Besides, the main target of our potato chip sales in Hanzhong must be you."
"So we'll just have to wait and see."
After hearing Bai Feng's words, the ministers couldn't help laughing.
Good guy, have you become a leek cut by Bai Feng?
At this time, Cao Chun laughed and said:
"Since sir, you talk about this thing in such a mysterious way, I'm kind of looking forward to it."
"When the time comes, give me some first!"
"We should support Hanzhong's industry."
Hearing that Cao Chun was taking the lead, the ministers were not to be outdone.
They usually want to have a good relationship with Bai Feng.
Now it seems that it is just an opportunity.
Then why not hurry up and move forward?
Bai Feng laughed and said:
"Okay, okay, everyone, don't be anxious."
"This matter should be discussed later."
"Right now, we should continue to look at the potato yield."
In fact, there are so many things that potatoes can be processed into.
It’s not just potato chips.
Mashed potatoes, French fries, potato tarts, etc., as long as they are made to look good and sold at a higher price, the powerful and businessmen will be willing to pay for them.
What's more, there is also a killer weapon that can be sold at a good price when paired with potatoes:
ketchup!
However, this is all a story for another day.
What everyone wants to see most now is actually the potato yield.
At this time, Cao Cao said with a smile:
“I heard from my husband before that we should use agriculture to support business and business to support agriculture.”
"At first, I just thought it was a joke."
"But from what Mr. said, it seems like it's very likely to come true."
"I'm quite looking forward to it. If this is really accomplished, what will the world be like?"
All the ministers also laughed, looking forward to what Bai Feng said.
Then, it finally came to the much-anticipated announcement of potato yields.
As Hanzhong officials went to do statistics in person, the afternoon passed.
Everyone only looks at one sample.
If you want to calculate the entire potato yield of 10,000 acres, is that even possible?
I'm afraid it can't be counted if it's less than half a month.
Everyone also knows this.
Therefore, what they want to look at is only the output of a small part of it, and use the small to look at the big.
However, when the results came out, everyone was stunned!
Yield per mu, 10,000 kilograms!
Ten thousand kilograms!
Can one acre produce 10,000 kilograms of potatoes?
How can this be?
However, this was exactly what Cao Cao expected.
In fact, it is also a bit beyond.
After all, when I was in Xuchang, this was about the amount of potato produced.
However, the soil quality here is completely incomparable with Xuchang!
Cao Cao couldn't help but look curiously at the potatoes in Bai Feng's hand.
It seems that what Bai Feng said is true.
These potatoes really don’t care about the soil they are planted in.
This is also the reason why Tudou can quickly promote the entire Dawei.
Whether in the south or north, no matter what the soil quality is, a large number of potatoes can be grown.
This thing can completely satisfy your hunger.
With these potatoes, the people of Wei will never starve to death!
The output of potatoes shocked everyone.
Not only the civil and military officials who came, but also all the people in Hanzhong.
Ten thousand kilograms!
In the Han Dynasty, three kilograms of corn per mu was considered good.
Although the corn that Bai Feng gave him before, the output is about four to five thousand kilograms, which is enough for people to eat.
At that time, both the common people and the civil and military ministers were very excited about this number.
This is a thousand-fold increase!
However, this time the potatoes surprised everyone.
Ten thousand kilograms!
How many years will it take to finish these?
Moreover, this is the yield per mu!
One hundred thousand acres of potatoes are planted throughout Hanzhong!
In other words, one Hanzhong can produce 100 million kilograms of grain!
Hanzhong alone has produced enough food in the past six months to feed the entire Wei Dynasty!
No wonder His Majesty calls these potatoes fairy food!
Isn’t this fairy food?
This was so good that the eyes of all the civil and military officials almost glowed green.
The people in Hanzhong were all secretly wiping their tears.
In fact, Hanzhong was not barren originally. After all, Hanzhong belonged to Bashu.
The soil in Bashu is fertile, and you will always reap what you sow.
But as luck would have it, famine broke out, and wars on all fronts caused by the decline of the Han Dynasty left Hanzhong exhausted.
It may be difficult to return to the way Hanzhong was before.
I can’t say it’s impossible, but basically there’s no certainty.
But what about now?
How long has Bai Feng been in Hanzhong to be the prefect of Hanzhong?
It’s only seven or eight months, if you plan on it all!
Within these seven or eight months, the living standards of the entire Hanzhong have been directly improved.
Not only can the people have enough to eat, but they can also eat well.
Delicious meals are basically essential for every meal.
As for meat, although it cannot be said that it is one meal a day, it is not a problem to eat more than a dozen meals in a month.
Because Bai Feng was not only giving food to the immortals, but also giving many cubs.
These cubs eat meat and are very easy to grow up. Although the taste is a bit more unpleasant than ordinary ones, this is meat!
Whether it’s poultry or livestock, it’s all meat!
Who can imagine eating more than a dozen meals of meat every month?
Moreover, even if you can eat meat every day, it is not impossible!
During this time, the people in Hanzhong were going crazy.
I never expected to live such a life in my life!
Now, the potatoes that have been growing for half a year are harvested.
The entire fields in Hanzhong are filled with potatoes!
If this isn't fairy food, what is it? !
Not only that, Bai Feng also pointed out many ways to survive for the people.
Those who have land at home can grow it to fill their stomachs.
Those who have no land at home can go mining. The daily wages are enough for them to eat well and drink spicy food, and they can still be wealthy.
Not only that, the mine is also responsible for the food!
Of the three meals a day, one must include meat!
It is difficult for ordinary people to think about such conditions!
What's more, they don't have to work in the mines for the rest of their lives. After all, people will grow old sooner or later.
When the time comes, you can definitely use the money you saved to go into business!
There are so many merchants in Hanzhong, and the entire Wei Dynasty and the surrounding foreign races are all in short supply of things from Hanzhong, and the supply exceeds demand.
As long as someone is selling, someone must be buying!
