Chapter 176: Sweet Potato Growth
"The manor was built quite smoothly, but son, what is this manor for? I've lived most of my life, and I've seen a little bit of it in the market, but I've never seen a manor like this. ”
Chen Daomai looked at the garden, looking a little confused.
Not only Chen Daomai, but in fact, most of the workers here, including Cheng Yanjin and others behind him, did not quite understand some of the design functions of this manor.
In this regard, Chen Fei is not clear about the explanation, and he does not want to explain more, some advanced concepts, designs beyond this era, how to explain clearly to them? You just need to wait until the building is completed and put into use, and then many things will be understood.
"Dad, don't worry what these things are for, just wait to see the effect after they are finished. By the way, how was the sweet potato I planted last time? Does it look good? Chen Fei temporarily put down the matter of the house and cared about the growth of sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are Chen Fei's deepest hidden hole card at present, and he believes that this super-era anti-natural species that appeared on the land of China will completely change the agricultural economy of this era.
What manor, what mosquito coils, are not worth mentioning with it.
"Humph! You're embarrassed to say it! At the mention of sweet potatoes and old rice and wheat, his face was elongated several points, and he pointed to his sweet potato field with excitement and said: "What mu yields thousands of catties, you go to the ground to see for yourself, except for some useless vines, nothing grows!" ”
"Huh?" Chen Fei's heart jumped, and he secretly said that there was no accident in the cultivation of sweet potatoes, and he didn't have time to say more, so he hurriedly turned over and went to the land where sweet potatoes were planted.
"Huh? Daddy, look! Cheng Laoliu patted Cheng Biting Jin's thick shoulder.
"What for?" Cheng Yanjin was chatting with the workers, and was interrupted by the sixth child, and his mood was suddenly unhappy, and he turned his head viciously.
Cheng Lao Liu shrank his neck back when he saw his father's appearance, pointed to Chen Fei's back and said, "Dad, look, Brother Chen left in a hurry alone, there seems to be something." ”
As he spoke, Yin Ping had already ridden his horse to follow.
"Let's go, let's see." Cheng Yanjin kicked the horse under his crotch, the horse was in pain, and he also ran in the direction of Chen Fei.
Chen Fei hurriedly ran to the ground where he was planting sweet potatoes, ignoring the injury on his leg, dismounted and limped quickly to the field, squatted down and took a closer look
"Looks pretty good." Chen Fei flicked the sweet potato vines and found that this batch of sweet potato vines grew quite well, and the sweet potatoes under the soil would not grow badly.
Chen Fei tried to dig up a small corner of the soil, and the small sweet potato inside already had a shape, and five small sweet potato stalks grew on one taproot, and it was believed that it would soon grow into a large sweet potato.
"The growth is good, and there are no pests, strange, why does Daddy say that this sweet potato is useless? Profound! I know! Could it be that Daddy didn't know that sweet potatoes grow underground, so he misunderstood? ”
Chen Fei could only think of this possibility.
"Huh~~"
There was a neighing sound of horses behind him, and when he looked back, Cheng Yanjin and his family lined up, staring at innocent little eyes and appearing behind him, just like the underworld chasing after the loan sharks, very dark and violent.
"What are you doing here?"
"What is this?" Cheng Yanjin became extremely interested in the strange vines that grew in a field behind Chen Fei.
Cheng's family has farmland, and when Cheng Yanjin was named Lu Guogong, Li Shimin gave him 500 acres of fertile land and 300 households in Shishiyi.
Like most people in this era, they will sell land when they have money, and Cheng Yanjin is no exception, and now the Cheng family's family property has more than 1,000 acres of land.
With such a large land, Cheng Yanjin is worried about the growth and yield of crops in the field, in addition to being excited when he sleeps at night.
Agriculture is the foundation of the progress of this era, if the field suffers some disasters, whether it is a great thing for the common people or the powerful, so Cheng Yanjin often goes to his own world to inspect during the busy farming time, and he also has a very clear understanding of some common crops.
It's just that the crop planted on the field in front of Chen Fei makes everyone feel very unfamiliar, and they have never seen it before.
"Huh? This is a sweet potato, the yield is counted, you don't believe it, just wait for the autumn harvest to widen your eyes. ”
Chen Fei was too lazy to explain, and just wanted to speak with facts.
"The little baby is so stingy, can't you even talk to the old man?" Cheng Yanjin dismounted, walked to the edge of the field, picked a small vine leaf, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
"Phew! It's a little bitter, it tastes weird, can you eat this thing? Cheng bit Jin and wiped his mouth, his expression was extremely disgusted.
Chen Fei shrugged helplessly, "I said that you won't believe me, wait until autumn, and you have to believe it if you don't believe it in autumn." ”
After that, Chen Fei rode back on his horse, leaving Cheng Yanjin and the others looking at each other.
"Dad, is this really hard to eat?" Cheng Laoliu asked cautiously.
Cheng Yanjin remembered the smell of the vine leaves just now, and got goosebumps all over his body, and snorted on the ground: "It's unpalatable!" This kid is quite good at other things, and agriculture doesn't seem to be very credible, anyway, the old man is not interested in these strange vines, let's go, let's go back. ”
Back at the manor, Chen Fei patiently comforted his father, so that he finally calmed his father's anxious heart, and agreed to wait until October to see the sweet potato harvest.
Just when Chen Fei was chatting with his father, someone patted him on the shoulder on his back. Looking back, the Yongle Village trio stood behind him and looked at him with a grin.
"Ah Fei! You're back! Wang Tian stepped forward to give Chen Fei a "bear hug". Hu Di and Hu Kang also opened their hands to imitate Wang Tian
"Stop! Don't come here if you're sweaty. Chen Fei hurriedly stopped the two.
The two of them looked down at the sweat on their bodies, and smiled at Chen Fei embarrassedly: "Haha, Ah Fei, we just finished our work, we didn't mean it, don't blame it." ”
Chen Fei punched the two brothers in the chest: "How can I blame you, go, take me to visit the manor, Dad, I'll go with them first." ”
"You be careful, don't run around if your legs and feet are inconvenient, be careful of pulling the wound!"
"Got it, Dad! You can rest assured! Chen Fei did not listen to his father's advice, but walked around with Wang Tian and them on crutches.
"Ah Fei, what's wrong with your leg?" Wang Tian asked curiously, Hu Di Hu Kang rolled up his sleeves angrily, "Are you being bullied?" Don't worry, tell our brothers, and we will definitely help you get justice. ”
Get justice? I'm afraid that if you two or three times hit that person, you will be knocked to the ground.
Chen Fei shook his head, forgetting the shadow of the assassination that day, and pointed to the innocent horse in the distance: "It was from falling off its back." ”
Horses, who am I recruiting, who are you messing with??
