CHAPTER XXXIX

Time passed day by day, and the seedlings grew bigger day by day, Chen Guang took care of them more carefully, and even built a room for the seedlings in the field of the East Palace, and there were people around them constantly waiting to light the fire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is to maintain the temperature, after all, whether it is sweet potatoes or potatoes, they need temperature to bear fruit, which is why most plants are sown in the spring, and they need the high temperature of summer to grow. And these seedlings planted by Chen Guang basically only had time to catch the tail of summer, and after all of them bubbled, autumn had already come.

Autumn is the season when melons and fruits are ripe, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted by Chen Guang have just grown leaves, and it may take a long time to wait for them to bear fruit.

Chen Guang is not in a hurry, being able to germinate proves that the planting method is no problem, and there is no problem with the planting location, even if the fruit is not large, or even if it does not bear fruit, Chen Guang is actually not so frustrated. Because in the spring of the next year, the seeds can be sown immediately, and when the harvest is carried out next autumn, the ministers and the emperor can take a good look at what is called high yield.

However, even if it does not bear fruit this time, it is still useful, such as the lush growth of leaves, sweet potato leaves, fried in lard, the taste is absolutely drooling.

Chen Ang, who is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, doesn't know how he will react to such a dish.

This is the magic of sweet potatoes, not only the fruit can be used and the yield is high, but even the leaves are a very good dish, whether it is stewed or stir-fried, it tastes very good. However, I am afraid that most people still can't enjoy the flavor of stir-fried food.

In fact, Chen Guang has always had the idea of building a steel mill to improve steel, after all, in the future, whether it is agricultural tools or weapons, having good steel is very important for the development of industry. It's just that now he's spending all his heart on the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

On this day, it was about October, and it was already a little cold, and not long after Chen Guang got up, there seemed to be a wisp of fog in the yard. He went to look at the seedlings in the yard, because the flames were burning not far away, and the temperature was very high, so the sweet potatoes were growing well, and the leaves had turned dark green, half the size of a palm.

"It seems that in a few days, we can pick this leaf and send it to the palace to taste it for my father and mother." Chen Guangxin had already planned a place for these sweet potato leaves.

After watching for a while, the maid came over to ask him to eat, and before he had walked a few steps, he saw a person running in from outside in a hurry, and when he saw Chen Guang in the courtyard, he walked straight over and said, "Oh no, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Chen Guang couldn't help frowning, what was wrong with this early morning, unlucky! His tone was suddenly a little bad, and he asked stiffly, "What's wrong?" ”

That person didn't have the time to experience Chen Guang's subtle emotional changes, and he seemed to really have something very important to report, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to hear Chen Guang's tone.

"The sweet potatoes and potatoes that Project Hope planted were destroyed."

The names of sweet potatoes and potatoes have long been spread by Chen Ang's mouth, although everyone has not seen these two things, but they all already know that in the near future there will be two kinds of food, only need to grow a little bit of food to make the whole family no longer starve, one is called sweet potato, and the other is called potato.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes ruined?

Hearing this news, Chen Guang was of course very angry, which guy who didn't open his eyes actually dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head? Lao Tzu is the prince of the dynasty, one person is above 10,000 people, and someone dares to destroy the things I hope for the project, it is simply the suicide of the old birthday star, and he is afraid of a long life!

"What? Who did it? Chen Guang's voice was very low, and if anyone knew him, they would know that it was a precursor to his temper.

The man: "It's still investigating. ”

Chen Guang waved his hand and said; "Let's go, go over and have a look."

He walked outside with this person, and Min'er just came out, and when she saw that Chen Guang was going to go out, she said; "Why are you going, you haven't eaten yet."

"I'm going to hope for engineering to eat." Chen Guang replied, and then ordered someone to lead the horse and rushed to the Hope Project.

Yang Rong was anxiously waiting for Chen Guang's arrival at the door, as soon as Chen Guang arrived at the gate, he immediately went to the front, helped Chen Guang to get off the horse, and said anxiously: "Oh no......"

As soon as he spoke, Chen Guang interrupted him and said, "Okay, I know, let's go and see it first." ”

So they soon came to the vegetable patch.

The vegetable patch is different from the last time Chen Guang came, surrounded by stones, about knee-high, which has the advantage that it will not wash away all the soil when it rains, and it can also block the river water that has been washed by the flooding of the river.

And because of the use of silt to replenish nutrients, the field where vegetables are grown is darker than the surrounding land.

At this moment, this vegetable field is already a mess, and it is very worrying to watch.

Yang Rong felt very ashamed that he couldn't even take care of this vegetable field, he suddenly knelt down in front of Chen Guang and said; "The small supervision is not effective, so that the garden has been poisoned, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish him."

Chen Guang is not such an unreasonable person, and he will not throw the blame at others without moving. Although the destruction of the vegetable garden was a little heart-wrenching, he knew that it was not Yang Rong's fault.

"Get up, you can't be blamed for that." Chen Guang said as he went into the vegetable garden to observe the damage to the potatoes and sweet potatoes up close.

I saw that the leaves of the sweet potatoes that were originally growing well were broken and torn apart, and the whole body was basically gone. Some of the land was turned open, revealing the fruits within.

Chen Guang observed carefully, frowned slightly, and then raised his head to look at the lush mountains and forests not far away. There are already trees that are starting to shed their leaves, but there are also many trees that are not shedding, so that the forest remains as green as ever.

He pulled out a sweet potato, and there were already more than a dozen sweet potatoes on the sweet potato vine, but perhaps because of malnutrition or insufficient sunshine time, these sweet potatoes were currently only the size of quail eggs, which was really quite different from the size of the fist described by Chen Guang.

Fortunately, both sweet potatoes and potatoes belong to the "tuber seed" plant, and these small sweet potatoes can be eaten or used as seeds to continue to be sown next year. Sweet potatoes also have a particularly powerful ability - even if there is no sweet potato tuber, even if there is only a healthy vine, it can grow into a complete sweet potato when planted in the ground.

While Chen Guang was observing, Yang Rong also came over, he saw that Chen Guang was silent, and asked cautiously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......" (to be continued.) )
