At Lin Chen's command, the three of them spread out into the chili pepper patch. Every time they raised their hands, a large handful of red and green peppers was tossed into their bamboo baskets.
The peppers came in all different shapes. Some were hooked, some were spiral-shaped, and others were relatively straight.
Each chili plant was laden with heavy fruit. They harvested as much as ten kilograms of peppers from the most productive single plants, while even the lesser ones yielded five or six kilograms.
'Such a high yield... This probably isn't a wild variety. Maybe someone left it here.'
His knowledge of chili peppers told him that a year-old plant typically produced around one to two kilograms of fruit. While yields were higher in tropical regions with more sunlight, even a wild variety wouldn't produce this much from a single plant.
Only varieties selectively bred with modern agricultural technology could achieve such a massive yield.
