Chapter 1281: Chapter 339: Harvesting [Emperor Potato]

If this time the [Emperor Potato] can achieve an output of fifteen hundred pounds per acre.

Then the four and a half acres of potato fields can at least yield six thousand seven hundred pounds of potato seeds.

Wait until next spring to plant these six thousand seven hundred pounds of potato seeds in the fields.

At least thirty-three acres of fields can be planted!

By the end of next September.

Lynn can harvest at least forty-nine thousand five hundred pounds of potato seeds from the fields!

Relying on repeated potato planting to gain more potatoes.

Ultimately undertaking large-scale potato planting.

Of course.

This is just Lynn’s preliminary calculation based on the current potato seeds planted.

The yield per acre of planted potatoes is bound to fluctuate up and down.

The most crucial thing is.

If Lynn has more Energy Stones, he can completely exchange for more [Emperor Potato] seeds from the [Special Seed Store].

This would accelerate the efficiency of large-scale potato planting.

While Lynn was contemplating, he arrived at a piece of farmland protected by a fence.

In front of the farmland.

Gavin was standing with a team of farmers.

When the farmers saw their lord, a spark lit up in their eyes, and they respectfully addressed him in unison.

"Lord."

Lynn glanced at them briefly, nodding slightly in response.

No need for Lynn to speak, Wilbur came forward from the farmer team.

"Master, as per your instructions, the farmers and digging tools are ready."

Without any useless words, Lynn addressed Wilbur.

"Then let’s start digging."

"Instruct them to try their best not to damage the potato seeds while working!"

Wilbur quickly responded.

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing the response, Wilbur turned and walked to the farmers.

After a few instructions from Wilbur.

Wilbur personally led fifty farmers into the field to start digging.

Following the rear of the team, Lynn also entered the potato field, joining the digging task.

In the potato field, Lynn’s gaze swept over the potato stems and roots below.

The stems and leaves were withered, the tubers swollen, withered and spotted potatoes nearly emerging from the ground.

Perhaps due to the strong sunlight of the Karedi Empire.

These potatoes matured earlier than Lynn had anticipated.

Lynn originally thought.

The potatoes planted would only mature and be harvested by the end of September or early October!

Taking the iron rake from a farmer’s hand, Lynn spread his feet wide as his shoulders, standing steadily one in front and one behind.

With double-handed grip on the rake handle, he slightly exerted force with his arms, lifting the rake.

Then, using the weight of the rake and the strength of his arms and the twist of his waist.

Lynn brought the rake down from the side of the potato hill.

Under this power.

The rake instantly plunged into the soil.

Lynn’s arms exerted even force, pulling the rake backward and downward.

Instantly.

The soil and potato clumps loosened, plump and smooth potatoes scattered in the soil, catching Lynn’s eye.

Gazing at the myriad of potatoes at his feet.

A sense of joy inadvertently surfaced in Lynn’s heart.

Finally, the potatoes were harvested!

Moreover, from the fullness and the quantity of at least eight or nine potatoes beneath a single plant.

Lynn had a bold thought in mind.

The yield per acre for the planted [Emperor Potato] must be over one thousand five hundred pounds.

Even though it was Lynn’s first time planting [Emperor Potato].

Lynn felt this planting would result in a bumper harvest!

Lynn exhaled, looking at the farmer standing nearby and said.

"I’ll handle the digging, you are responsible for picking up the excavated potatoes."

Hearing Lynn’s words, the farmer’s face showed tension and disbelief.

He was actually going to cooperate with the lord on digging?

What a supreme honor!

The farmer quickly responded respectfully.

"Yes, yes, Lord."

Lynn responded indifferently, not speaking any further.

Moving his feet a few steps, he arrived at another potato plant, repeating the digging action.

[Collection Experience +1]

[Collection Experience +1]

[Collection Experience +1]

...

As Lynn continuously dug potatoes, the experience accumulated little by little.

Until noon.

Having excavated the last potato plant in front of him, Lynn stopped his actions.

Placing the rake diagonally on the ground, Lynn rested his hands on the handle end, leaning against it to rest.

Lynn’s gaze shifted, looking at the vast potato fields behind him.

After a half-day of digging, the four and a half acres of potato fields had been dug up by the farmers.

As Lynn observed, Wilbur, his linen trousers full of mud, came before him again.

Wilbur reported: "Master, the potatoes have been completely dug."

"However..."

Lynn raised an eyebrow, asking.

"However what?"

Wilbur hastily explained: "However, the farmers carelessly damaged some of the potato seeds during the excavation..."

"But rest assured Master, it’s only a very small part."

"Wilbur estimates, around ten pounds..."

Lynn nodded and said: "No matter, send the damaged potatoes back to the castle."

"The remaining potato seeds should be strictly selected, any with black spots, rot, sprouting eyes, insect damage, and malformation should be picked out."

"Then send the selected potatoes to a ventilated cellar and store them using the sand storage method."

Hearing this, Wilbur asked in confusion.

"Master, what is the sand storage method?"

Lynn didn’t mind explaining and said.

"Lay a five-centimeter thick layer of moist river sand at the bottom, ensuring the sand is moist enough to be clumped without crumbling."

"Place the selected potato seeds flatly on a layer, making sure to stack the potatoes."

"Cover the potato layer with about ten centimeters of river sand and then add another layer of potatoes..."

"Repeat this process up to five layers!"

"Cover the topmost layer with fifteen centimeters of river sand."

"In addition, arrange personnel to check the stored potatoes every fifteen days."

"Once rotten potatoes are found, they must be removed promptly."

"If the sand layer becomes too dry, make sure to keep it moist..."

Listening to Master Lynn’s calm explanation.

Wilbur dared not slack, attentively listening.

After the explanation concluded, Lynn summarized.

"This batch of potato seeds is crucial for expanding future planting."

"Be sure to take care of them!"

Wilbur earnestly replied.

"Master, Wilbur will remember it by heart!"

Lynn nodded slightly, dismissing Wilbur to arrange for personnel to start transporting potatoes back to town.

With the harvested potatoes, Lynn’s tense heart finally relaxed.
