Chapter 200: Artificial Pollination

"Just brush the pollen off with a brush?" In the greenhouse, Princess Pingyang asked Li Xiu with a brush in her hand that both vegetables had bloomed today, so she and Li Xiu came to artificially pollinate the vegetables. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Yes, just brush the pollen with a brush and then put it on another dish, and the two dishes should be pollinated together!" Li Xiu replied with a smile, and after speaking, he turned his head to the three children behind him and said, "Don't play with the few of you, hurry up and do the right thing, this is your homework today!" ”

"Got it!" Li Chengdao and Qi Niang also agreed, and then took their own brushes and began to pollinate the flowers, and Li Xiu divided a separate area for them, so that even if they did not pollinate properly, it would not affect other vegetables. Originally, Xiaoya was going to come with her, but she got sick in the past two days, and she could only stay at home until she got better.

Facts have proved that Li Xiu's worries are correct, Li Chengdao and the three of them were very serious at the beginning, but pollination was originally a very boring thing, but after a while, the youngest Li Chengqian was a little impatient, and the always active Qi Niang was also a little absent-minded, only the eldest Li Chengdao was still qualified, and he pollinated and hybridized them one by one, because he had heard Li Xiu say in advance that these vegetables were likely to greatly improve people's livelihood.

Li Xiu also nodded when he saw Li Chengdao's serious appearance, and then began to crossbreed vegetables specifically, because he didn't know which of the two vegetables was the female parent, so he could only cross them with each other, and wait until the seeds were produced, and then plant the seeds to see which one could grow Chinese cabbage?

The area of the greenhouse is not large, and the number of vegetables in it is limited, but even so, Li Xiu and they still spent a whole morning to complete the pollination of all the vegetables, and after they were done, Li Xiu also felt tired and had back pain, at this time it was already past noon, Li Xiu also felt hungry, and the three children were even more miserable, especially Li Chengqian, this kind of labor reminded him of the scene when Li Xiu took them to pick up ears of wheat this summer, it seems that all farm work is not so easy to do.

Everyone is hungry, although they know that lunch must have been prepared at home, but the three little ones don't want to go back to eat, especially Li Chengdao is even more clamoring to eat Li Xiu's called flower chicken, since the last time Li Xiu took him to the valley to play, he made him a call flower chicken, he has never forgotten this delicacy, and often boasted to Li Chengqian, every time it caused his saliva to flow wildly, so Li Chengqian also followed Li Chengdao at this time to eat called flower chicken.

For the sake of everyone's hard work, Li Xiu also ordered someone to go to the kitchen of the other courtyard to prepare things, and after a while, the chickens and seasonings that had been cleaned up were all delivered.

I saw Li Xiu put the seasoning in the belly of the chicken, but unfortunately I can't find fresh lotus leaves now, but there are a lot of reeds by the river, although they have withered, but they can still be used, in fact, this kind of reed leaves are used to wrap zongzi in the north, and Li Xiu asked Li Chengdao to pick a lot of reed leaves, and then wrapped the chicken with leaves, and then smeared with yellow mud and threw it into the fire.

Taking advantage of the time when the flower chicken was not ripe, Li Xiu asked Li Chengdao about the three of them about their thoughts on today's work, as well as the process of plant pollen propagation that they had told them before, etc., the three little guys had just carried out the physical operation, but they remembered it very clearly, which also made Li Xiu nod with satisfaction, it seems that this teaching method is really much stronger than rote memorization.

"Sir, I also heard about Dong'an Casino, why didn't you take me with you that day?" At this moment, Li Chengdao suddenly leaned next to Li Xiu and whispered, and his little face also showed a little dissatisfaction.

"What Dong'an Casino, what to take you for?" Li Xiu deliberately pretended to be confused and said, this little guy is not very old, but his heart is not small, and he wants to intervene in everything.

"Sir, don't pretend to be confused, I told you that Dong'an Casino is Chai Shao's family, but you ruined Dong'an Casino without me, it makes me sad!" Li Chengdao saw that Li Xiu didn't admit it, and he was even more angry at the moment.

"Hehe, well, you're still a child, and if your father knows that I took you to the casino, I'm afraid you won't want to come here again in the future." Seeing that Li Chengdao was a little angry, Li Xiu finally did not deny it anymore, but opened his mouth to explain.

Li Chengdao was also a little discouraged when he heard Li Xiu mention his father, but then he cheered up again and said: "Sir, it's okay if you don't take me to the casino, but you have to tell me, what method did you use to destroy Dong'an Casino in an instant?" Others say that it is the punishment of heaven and the descending of divine thunder, but I don't believe in these nonsense! ”

After studying with Li Xiu for a long time, the more he understands, and Li Chengdao has a kind of blind worship of Li Xiu, thinking that as long as Li Xiu makes a move, there is nothing that cannot be solved, so he doesn't believe that Dong'an Casino is destroyed by heaven, and it must be that his husband used a method that he doesn't understand to destroy a huge casino.

"This ......" Li Xiu showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, he didn't plan to tell anyone about gunpowder for the time being, especially Li Chengdao or a descendant of the imperial family, if he mastered gunpowder, he didn't know what would happen?

Thinking of this, Li Xiu shook his head at Li Chengdao and said, "Chengdao, the method of destroying Dong'an Casino is a secret for the time being, but as long as you study hard, you may understand this method in the future!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Li Chengdao couldn't help but show a disappointed expression again, and seeing Li Xiu's serious expression, he didn't dare to ask again, but he was even more curious about this matter, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must study hard, and one day he will solve this puzzle!

After waiting for a while, the call flower chicken was finally done, Li Xiu moved the fire to the side, and then pulled out five black mud balls from the ashes, Princess Pingyang had eaten called flower chicken last time, but Li Xiu had already opened the mud balls when she went, so she also saw the practice of calling flower chicken for the first time, and she also showed a curious expression at the moment.

When he cut the reed leaves with scissors, he immediately exuded an attractive aroma, which was different from barbecue and boiled meat, but an indescribable burnt aroma of meat, which was very thick and attractive, causing Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian to salivate, and even Qi Niang also showed a greedy expression.

At that moment, Li Xiu gave the first chicken to the youngest Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian gave it to Princess Pingyang very sensibly, which made Princess Pingyang stunned at first, and then took it with a smile, after all, this was her nephew's intention, and then she beckoned Qi Niang to eat with her.

Li Xiu made a total of five called flower chickens, just one per person, and with the experience of the last time, this time he made the flower chicken is more delicious, Qi Niang and Li Chengqian are eating eyebrows and smiles, Li Chengdao is even more bowed and eaten, his hands and face are all greasy, and the last whole chicken was gnawed by him, but Li Chengqian and Qi Niang are still too young, and they can't eat most of them, Li Xiu asked people to take them back, and prepare to give them a hot one in the afternoon to eat, which is also to let them develop a good habit of saving food.

After lunch, Li Xiu let a few children move freely, but they were forbidden to go to the river, now the weather is cold, although the river is frozen, but it is not thick enough, people can easily crush the ice when they go up.

Seeing the three children running away happily, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile a little when he sat on a dry grass with Princess Pingyang, and then Princess Pingyang suddenly said: "It's good, if the children of our Li family are as deep as Chengdao and Chengqian, then there will be countless disputes in the world!" ”

Hearing Princess Pingyang sigh like this, Li Xiu didn't know how to answer, in fact, he was a more pessimistic person, in his opinion, even if Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian have a good relationship now, but when they grow up, it will be difficult to maintain such feelings, after all, the struggle between their parents is likely to be inherited from their generation, not to mention that one of them is likely to not grow up to adulthood at all.

"Li Xiu, do you say that Chengdao and Chengqian will fight like their father in the future?" At this time, Princess Pingyang asked again.

"How could the princess be interested in this question today?" Li Xiu did not answer Princess Pingyang directly, but asked a little strangely, Princess Pingyang usually avoids talking about the matter between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, but today she is too positive.

I saw that Princess Pingyang sighed lightly at this time, and then spoke again: "Yesterday, the eldest brother quietly reported to his father, saying that the second brother's Tiance Mansion controls most of the army of the Tang Dynasty, which is not conducive to the rule of the imperial court, so I hope to split the Tiance Mansion. ”

"Split the Tiance Mansion!" Li Xiu was shocked when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, this matter is actually reasonable, with the escalation of the battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the two have changed from a secret fight to an open fight, if the Tiance Mansion is really split, then Shimin will no longer have the capital to fight with him.

"The second brother seems to have known about this matter, and he has hurried back from the north, and he will soon reach Chang'an, and I am afraid that there will be another dispute at that time." Princess Pingyang said softly at this time, but it sounded a little helpless and confused, whether it was Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, they were her closest brothers, but she couldn't stop the fight between them, which was also one of the most painful things for Princess Pingyang.
