Zhang Bin sat on the small bench in the hall, calmed down, thought for a while, and then picked up a pen and wrote ten big characters "Potato and Sweet Potato Planting Minutes".

After writing these ten big characters, he thought for a while, and then took out a blank piece of paper and waved his pen to write.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, on the twenty-sixth day of the first month, Zhang Bin, the magistrate of Pingyang County, Wenzhou Prefecture, tried to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in Dongmen Mountain, five miles east of Pingyang County.

Potatoes are also known as potatoes or potatoes, and their shape is like .......

Sweet potatoes, also known as sweet potatoes or sweet potatoes, are shaped like ........

He wrote a preface, and generally when writing a book, you must first introduce what you write and why you want to write it, otherwise it will be inexplicable, and people may not know what to do for a long time.

First of all, he introduced the basic information such as the shape, characteristics, texture and eating methods of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

He then focused on the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which led to why potatoes and sweet potatoes should be promoted in Binh Duong.

At the beginning, he just wanted to pretend to be a faint force and write himself as the kind of benevolent gentleman who worries about the world first, after all, this book is to be promoted with potatoes and sweet potatoes in Binh Duong, and he hopes to leave a good impression in the hearts of the people.

However, writing that he couldn't help but think of the upcoming drought in the northwest later, and the tragic situation of thousands of miles of red fields and starvation all over the wilderness, his heart suddenly became sad, and a feeling of worrying about the country and the people arose.

So, a touching and heartfelt essay slowly took shape in his pen, and he sincerely hoped that the potatoes and sweet potatoes would save the people from fire and water and prevent them from starving to death in the catastrophe.

After writing the preface, he let out a long breath, and then pulled out two more chapters of blank paper.

In the first one, only one topic was written, the cultivation method of potato seedlings.

In the second one, there is also only one topic, the cultivation method of sweet potato seedlings.

Then, he put down the brush, stood up, and said directly to Chen Zhi on the side: "Do you have a kitchen knife and a cutting board?" ”

Chen Zhi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Zhang Bin then said politely: "Please take it outside, the official will use it later." ”

With that, he greeted Wang Er and Sun Biao, turned around and walked out.

Chen Yingying, who was standing on the side, was dumbfounded, the county magistrate seemed to have forgotten that there was another person here, no, she and her sister Xiuxiu were two people.

She really wanted to say to the county magistrate, I am also a laborer, I can also work.

As a big beauty, she has never been so ignored, and a momentum of not admitting defeat rushes straight to her head.

No, this girl wants to show the county magistrate, I'm also very capable!

Thinking of this, she put her cute little sister on the small bench and doted: "Xiuxiu, sit here and help the county magistrate look at these papers, don't let the wind blow away, my sister will work." ”

Xiuxiu nodded like a little adult and said, "Well, sister, Xiuxiu knows, you go, Xiuxiu is watching here." ”

She kissed Xiuxiu's fluttering little face hard, and then ran to the kitchen.

Zhang Bin did not deliberately ignore Chen Yingying, because in his opinion, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl really had nothing to do with labor, and the rough work should be done by men.

The next work is not ordinary coarse, it is dirt, sand, cow dung, grass and wood ashes and other dirty things, a beautiful woman is really not suitable for dealing with these things.

He doesn't know a lot about potato and sweet potato seedling cultivation methods.

Like the cultivation of potato seedlings, he only knows the method of layered laying of fine sand.

As for the cultivation of sweet potato seedlings, he only knows the cow dung promotion method.

Of course, these two methods are the summary of the cultivation experience of the next few hundred years, and they are definitely much more advanced than the cultivation methods at this time.

Thinking of the layered laying method of fine sand, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked anyone to pick up the sand yet.

At this time, Zhao Yan had already arranged all the work, stood outside the door and waited, he calculated the time slightly, and then said to Zhao Yan: "You go and talk to the ten laborers who collect cow dung, and after the cow dung is picked, go and pick up ten loads of fine sand." ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, he immediately nodded and went away.

Zhang Bin came to the place where the potatoes and sweet potatoes were placed, looked at the ground full of dust, and couldn't help frowning.

The ground is so dirty, how do you get it?

At this time, ten laborers came in with ten loads of dry straw, and he immediately pointed to the open space next to him and said, "Just put the straw here." ”

The county commander had an order, and naturally no one dared to make it right, so the ten laborers hurriedly and respectfully unloaded the straw to the place set by Zhang Bin, and then ran out and continued to pick the straw.

Zhang Bin then pointed to the ground on both sides of the potato and sweet potato frames and said: "Little Sixth Uncle, you first spread a layer of straw on the ground, then pour the potatoes and sweet potatoes on top, pick them out, pick out those that are dug up, wilted, and put them back in the bamboo basket, those that can't sprout." ”

When Xie Zhenggang heard this, he nodded, and then took Zhao Xing and the others to get busy.

Zhang Bin raised his eyes and looked at the back of the house again, at this time, the hoeing and erecting bamboo fence labor had been in place, Zhao Mu was consciously supervising over there, the progress was quite fast, it seemed that he didn't have to worry about it.

He bent down and picked up a potato and a sweet potato from the ground and tossed them around, silently estimating in his heart.

This potato weighs only one or two, and it can be divided into two pieces.

This sweet potato weighs only a few taels, not even half a catty, and it can be divided into two pieces.

At this time, the Chen Zhi brothers and sisters happened to come out with kitchen knives and cutting boards, and Zhang Bin beckoned directly: "Come, come here." ”

When Chen Zhi and Chen Yingying heard this, they hurriedly walked to his side.

Zhang Bin directly raised the potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hand and said to Chen Zhi: "This is called potatoes, this is called sweet potatoes, you cut them all from the middle, be careful not to cut the small points that are recessed, because these are the buds of potatoes and sweet potatoes." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhi carefully looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes in Zhang Bin's hands, and after making sure that he recognized the bud point, he nodded and put the cutting board on the ground, reached out to take the kitchen knife in Chen Yingying's hand, and prepared to cut it.

However, he fished a handful, but did not find a kitchen knife, because Chen Yingying did not hand him the kitchen knife.

He couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Yingying, what are you doing?" ”

Chen Yingying quickly squatted down next to him and volunteered: "Brother, let me cut it." ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he looked at her, and then looked at the county magistrate in embarrassment.

What does this baby sister want to do, he has never been able to bear to stop it, and the problem is that the county magistrate asked him to cut it!

A big beauty squatted on the ground to cut things, the picture was quite beautiful, the problem Zhang Bin was a little unbearable, he thought about it and said, "Chen Yingying, you come to do the official a favor." ”

When Chen Yingying heard this, she immediately threw away the kitchen knife, stood up, and said with a red face: "Lord County Commander, you call me Yingying, what do you want me to do, you say." ”

Her move startled Chen Zhi.

Because her kitchen knife was thrown too fast, Chen Zhi didn't expect this baby sister to throw him with a kitchen knife, and his fingers were almost chopped off by the kitchen knife that flew over!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Bin touched the sweat on his forehead, and coughed dryly: "Well, this, Yingying, you burn the rest of the straw pile, and you will use grass ash later." ”

Grass ash is one of the most commonly used fertilizers in the countryside, Chen Yingying naturally understood, she nodded excitedly, and then ran to the house, seemingly taking the fire fold.

Zhang Bin looked at her moving back, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot.

She, it seems, it seems, it seems, something is wrong, is she interesting to me?
