Chapter 918 - 907: Beastman Plane 27
Yan Mo told Xia Yue and the others about the situation and regulations of the assembly.
"The meeting is set to start in half a month, and it will take one and a half months to go and return. If there’s a delay, it could take two months.
Our potatoes in the field will be ready to harvest in about ten days; we shall harvest them a week from now to show the tribe. As for the sweet potatoes, they will need another month. If there’s any delay, we can ask the Priest and the others to help harvest. We’ll just show them how," thought Yan Mo, considering the harvest time of the potatoes and sweet potatoes to be within these two months.
"That’s feasible. The bountiful harvest of potatoes can greatly encourage those Beastmen planting sweet potatoes. We’ve planted three acres of potatoes, which should yield about 10,000 kilograms.
Based on our planting, 10,000 kilograms of potatoes can plant more than two hundred acres. If planted well, we could have at least 500,000 kilograms of potatoes by the second half of the year, and together with the harvest of sweet potatoes, the tribe should not starve in winter," Xia Yue roughly calculated and spoke.
"But will they plant that many acres? More than two hundred acres is too much," Ziluo said.
"As long as the quantity of potatoes we gather is substantial, they will. In this place, the biggest problem is ensuring survival, especially during winter.
Planting does not involve risking one’s life; just being diligent is enough. This is very cost-effective for the tribe’s people," Wei Se remarked.
"So, when we harvest, should we ask the tribe’s people to join us, and also invite the Priest and the Clan Leader?" Xia Yue said.
"Yes, we might indeed need their help to harvest the sweet potatoes. By asking for their help this time, we’re also giving them some experience. Remember the wild chickens we caught earlier? They’ve started laying eggs, and we didn’t eat them. Instead, we boiled the eggs and gave them to them.
