For Xie Shen, Rodriguez is simply a lucky star. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few hundred potatoes were not much, but they were enough for him to cultivate.

After Rodriguez left, Xie Shen immediately called Lu Farming. As an old man who had been by Xie Shen's side for many years, Lu Tangtian won Xie Shen's trust with his bravery and served as the head of the guard.

But before that, Lu was an authentic farmer, and his ability to grow crops was first-class.

The reason why Xie Shen called him here was to hear his opinion.

Seeing hundreds of taro-like things placed in front of the hall, Lu Chongtian was surprised.

"My lord, what is this?"

Xie Shen smiled and said, "This is a potato, a staple food, probably similar to the taro you said." ”

Lu Chongtian scratched his head and said, "How come I've never seen it." ”

Xie Shenxin said It would be strange if you had seen it, unless you were also a traverser.

"The potatoes were bought from a Francophone merchant. Sir, I'm going to do a trial seeding. ”

Lu Chongtian said with a smile: "How to plant, what do you need my Lao Lu to contribute?" ”

Xie Shen cleared his throat and said, "Take some plant ashes first, and then take a knife to slice these sprouted potatoes." By the way, call more people. ”

"Master, what is the ashes?"

Lu Chongtian was stunned and said.

"Well, it's firewood ash."

Xie Shen was slightly embarrassed.

"It's simple. But these things have sprouted, can they still be planted? ”

Xie Shen glanced at him: "What you want is to sprout, don't ask more." ”

The key to slicing potatoes is to make sure that the potatoes have sprouted, and if they do not, they must be sprouted.

Most of the potatoes brought by Rodriguez have already sprouted because they have been shipped for a long time, which saves the germination process.

It is better to plant potatoes in February and March, so that when the potatoes are planted, they can be harvested in May and June.

Lu did not hesitate, and immediately took a bucket of plant ash. Behind him were a dozen or so members of the Xie Mansion.

"See these sprout eyes, a piece of potato can be cut into three or four slices, but make sure that there are sprout eyes on it."

Xie Shen picked up a potato and explained it to Lu Tangtian and the others while pointing at it.

These potatoes are all treasures, if you cut a few of them, Xie Shen will be distressed to death.

"Master, just cut it like this? How do you grow these cut potatoes? ”

Lu Chongtian's eyes were full of doubts, he had planted crops for more than ten years, but he had never heard of such a crop.

Xie Shen scolded with a smile: "Of course you can, you just have to do it." Sir, can I still lie to you? ”

Lu Chongtian smiled and said, "What the master said is right." ”

He cut open a piece of potato, took out a slice and said, "Master, I cut it, what should I do next?" ”

Xie Shen let out a sigh of relief. Lu Farming's reaction was better than he expected, and he didn't show too much.

"The next step is to smear the firewood ash on it. Remember to be sure to apply evenly. ”

Lu Chongtian carefully smeared the plant ash evenly on the "wound" side of the potato slice, and then said: "This is very similar to making mud and calling Hanako chicken, you can also try it." ”

Those family members were already eager to try, and they were so picked up by Lu Farming, so they naturally stepped forward to pick up the potatoes and slice them and ash them.

The Xie family is now a big family in Yuyao, with thousands of acres of land outside the city. But Xie Shen doesn't plan to grow potatoes here. First, Rodriguez brought very few potatoes, so there was no need to use such a large place. Second, in the early stage of planting, he didn't want too many people to know.

Therefore, he planned to carry out this experiment in the back garden of Fuzhong.

The family quickly sliced the potatoes and smeared them with plant ash.

Under Xie Shen's command, the family dug a shallow pit and buried the potatoes in it.

Potatoes do not have too high requirements for planting conditions, and only need to ensure basic soil and moisture.

There is plenty of rain in spring, especially in Yuyao, so you don't have to worry about watering at all.

Xie Shen deliberately asked the family to turn over the soil and plant a slice every other palm or so.

Potatoes still take up a lot of space when they grow, don't look at only a few hundred potatoes, this whole back garden may not be able to be planted.

It took more than an hour for everyone to plant all the hundreds of potatoes.

Xie Shen said approvingly: "Master, I will stay in Yuyao until May and June, and then this potato will grow." ”

Lu Chongtian was amazed, and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is this potato, it grows so fast." It is planted in February and March, and it grows in May and June. ”

Xie Shen smiled: "What I want is to grow fast, and with it, the people don't have to worry about not having enough to eat." ”

Potatoes can be used not only as a staple food, but also as a vegetable.

In his previous life, Xie Shen's favorite food was sour and hot shredded potatoes.

Although this is an ordinary home-cooked meal, it is not easy to do well.

Fried shredded potatoes can also be regarded as one of Xie Shen's unique skills, but now it seems that it is difficult to have the opportunity to show his skills.

"Hehe, what the master said, I want to try it now."

Xie Shen glanced at him angrily and said, "That's not good, these are 'birth' babies." ”

......

......

Satisfied, he returned to the bedroom, Xie Shen took off his robe and lay down on his back.

Before he knew it, he was asleep, and when he woke up late at night.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xie Shenqiang sat up by himself.

He subconsciously raised his head, but he was really startled.

I saw Xu Qianqian changing into a palace skirt of the Tang Dynasty, combing her fallen cloud bun, powdering her face, and her eyebrows were red, and she was flirting with him.

Xie Shen swallowed a mouthful of spit and coughed: "Lady, you are ......"

It's all old husbands and wives, and you're still doing this?

Xu Qianqian moved the lotus step lightly, leaned towards Xie Shen, and said lightly: "Husband, do you think the concubine's outfit looks good?" ”

Xie Shen hurriedly said: "It looks good, this outfit is too good-looking." ”

As soon as Fang finished speaking, he was a little remorseful, and hurriedly remedied: "Being a husband means that a lady is naturally beautiful and looks good in anything." Well, the lady likes what she wears for her husband! ”

"You liar!"

Xu Qianqian glanced at Xie Shen and said, "People also think that you have been taking care of your eldest brother these days, and you want to amuse you." ”

Xie Shen nodded and said, "It's still the lady who loves me." He patted the head of the bed and said, "Come, come and sit beside your husband." ”

Xu Qianqian didn't hesitate, so she walked over and sat down.

Who knew that Xie Shen took her into his arms.

"Husband, you are ......"

Xie Shen said in his heart, you are all a child, and you are still so reserved.

"The ladies have all been sent to the door, how can there be any reason for the husband not to accept it. Isn't that a beast inferior? ”

Xu Qianqian almost fainted, and her pink fist smashed into Xie Shen's chest like a drum: "Little enemy!" ”

......
