Chapter 159: Baby
Under everyone's attention, Wei Zhao solemnly opened the box, revealing the contents inside.
Some yellow beans, a few gray bumps, a few shriveled red strips, I don't know what they were.
Several people looked at Wei Zhao, what could make him so solemn, I think it should be more than just as inconspicuous as it seems now, right?
Wei Zhao also looked at the box, which contained a few things he found from the kitchen of the clinic, because the clinic was newly opened, and there were not many things prepared in the kitchen, but Wei Zhao was lucky to find some corn kernels inside, a bag of dried peppers and a dozen potatoes, as well as a few tomatoes and a pumpkin.
These things are not available in Da Zhou now, he originally wanted to wait for spring ploughing to watch people plant them in person, but now he wants to leave here, and he doesn't know what the situation will be in the future, so he thought about it for a while, or took these things out, handed them to Xu Wu, and asked him to take people to plant.
As for the origin of these things, he is not worried, his omnipotent "master" can buy those miraculous medicines from overseas merchants, so it is not eye-catching to buy more rare seeds.
"This is called a potato, you don't need to plant it whole when planting, you can use a knife to cut off this eye on the potato, you can use it as a seed, but don't destroy this eye." Wei Zhao took a potato, pointed to the small pit on it, and solemnly instructed.
Xu Wu took a potato, observed it carefully for a moment, made sure that he knew how to cut the seeds, and nodded, but he was still apprehensive in his heart, looking at Wei Zhao's appearance, this thing is clearly very important, how can it be handed over to him, in case he doesn't plant it well, how can it be good?
Wei Zhao only knew the concerns in his heart at a glance, and he carefully advised: "Potatoes are drought tolerant, like sweet potatoes, they all grow underground, the yield is extremely high, but vegetables can be grain, if this thing is planted in our Great Zhou, we will no longer be afraid of famine!" ”
Xu Wu's eyes lit up, "There is no hunger in the world", these words are too tempting for these mud legs who often can't eat enough, listening to Wei Zhao say that, where can they still be calm, and instantly looked at the box eagerly, there are a few gray and round potatoes in it.
Xu Wu's hand that was originally holding the potato also loosened, as if he was afraid that he would hurt the potato with too much strength, so he changed his grip to holding it, and protected the potato in the middle with both hands, only to feel that his hands were as heavy as a thousand catties.
Wei Zhao didn't wait for them to come to their senses, and grabbed another handful of yellow corn with both hands, and there was a crisp sound of beans hitting in his palm.
"This is called corn, drought and cold-resistant, the yield per mu is not inferior to potatoes, the same vegetables and grains, if potatoes and corn are planted at the same time, there is no hunger in the world, it is not empty talk." His tone was indifferent, and his hands casually flicked the corn kernels in the box.
Regarding the cultivation of corn, Wei Zhao has no bottom in his heart, because these corns were originally bought to be put in the microwave oven to make popcorn, he is not sure whether these seeds can grow corn, and he is worried that even if they are planted, the yield will be affected.
But he won't say this, what he needs now is that Xu Wu and others can pay attention to these seeds and try their best to plant them in the future, instead of talking about these uncertain things.
Sure enough, the expressions of Xu Wu and the others changed again, and everyone looked at his hand playing with the seeds, and the expressions on their faces were a little unkind, as if they were complaining about how he treated these precious seeds like this, if it weren't for his identity, I was afraid that they would have stopped drinking.
Wei Zhao stopped, and moved his hand to the chili pepper on the side under the watchful eyes of everyone.
In addition to being used as a seasoning, chili pepper can also be used to refine pigments, pharmaceuticals, etc., which are very widely used, but with current technology, these functions can not be played, and can only be used as a seasoning, but this does not affect Wei Zhao's attention to it, he believes that as long as his chili pepper planting is successful, the benefits that can be brought will not be lower than that of glass, especially in Luoxiang Mansion, which is located in the northwest region, the winter is cold and dry, if there is a pot of spicy hot pot, or a pot of spicy and spicy chicken, how pleasant, so delicious, Once it comes out, who can still eat a slightly bitter dogwood.
Xu Wu and the others were a little disappointed when they heard him say that chili peppers were just seasonings, compared to potatoes and corn, chili peppers brought them a lot less surprises, but after thinking about it again, they could make Wei Zhao treat it so solemnly, maybe this seasoning was not an ordinary thing, so they hurriedly put away their contempt and listened carefully to his introduction to the habits of chili peppers.
Finally, Wei Zhao took out two small cloth bags from under the box, one of them, opened the cloth bag, and saw a lot of sesame-sized seeds stuck to the cloth, which had dried up, and there were some red things in the middle, I don't know what they were, and there was also a cloth bag, and when I opened it, there were dozens of plump white melon seeds.
These two things are tomatoes and pumpkin seeds.
Wei Zhao has seen people grow tomatoes before, and they are transplanted from seedlings like peppers, but the seeds of tomatoes are bought, and he heard that the tomato seeds he left behind cannot be used as seeds, so he can only let Xu Wu and them try to plant, and they are naturally happy when they are planted, and he will not be disappointed if he can't plant them.
As for the pumpkin, this thing originated in the Americas, and now there is no trace in Dazhou, and the yield is also very amazing, although he doesn't like the taste of pumpkin very much, but since he found a pumpkin from the kitchen, he will naturally not let it go.
Xu Wu and the others didn't say a word until he had finished introducing a few seeds, and they were still staring eagerly at the box.
They didn't have the slightest suspicion about Wei Zhao's words, he said that he was highly productive, and they believed it. He said how to plant, and they also kept it in mind, and they were eager to start farming immediately.
Xu Wu was more cautious, he was still holding the potato, his voice was excited, and he asked repeatedly: "Now there are still two months before spring ploughing, I don't know how to preserve these seeds, such a valuable thing, if we plant it badly, how can it be good?" Otherwise, you should take it, and if you need us, I will help you plant it immediately..."
Wei Zhao looked at Xu Wu, who had become chattering and incoherent, a little funny, he did smile, a slightly changed face, became shining, he waved his hand, his voice was full of kindness, "Uncle Xu, I will tell you how to save it, you don't have to be nervous." When it comes to farming, you know more than I do, but I just rely on these rare seeds that you haven't seen, and if you don't help me plant them, do you want me to carry a hoe to plant them myself? ”
He paused, his tone softened, and then said: "Originally, I planned to give you these seeds during spring ploughing, but now I am going to the capital to do an important matter, and it is too late to wait for spring ploughing, so I can only hand over the seeds to you now, and you will plant them." ”
Xu Wu was stunned, no wonder Wei Zhao came suddenly, and he also advanced the matter of scientific planting that was originally scheduled for spring ploughing to tell him, it turned out that he was leaving.
However, he didn't ask Wei Zhao what to do, but assured in a deep voice: "In this case, you just have to rest assured, we will definitely serve these crops carefully according to your instructions." ”
Then several other people also expressed their positions together, and Wei Zhao explained to them the preservation of the seeds, as well as how to pick the crops when they are ripe in the future, and how to take care of the crops so as not to be harmed by people, etc., and when they were sure that they had all kept it in mind, they took Li Wan'er back to Fucheng.
