Chapter 284: Trivia (2)

The work of autumn harvest, as different crops matured one after another, was slowly completed, and even autumn sowing was completed.

Autumn sowing, naturally not only Yang Heng's family, now in the vicinity of the Yang family, and even in the entire vicinity of Chang'an, winter wheat will be planted, at this time, it is not the time that Yang Heng just crossed over, in those years, it is really difficult to see a few families who grow winter wheat, why, because there are few families who like to eat this wheat.

To say this, it is also what Yang Heng wonders, because at that time, people generally planted more barley, barley, in fact, there is not much difference from wheat, that is, the raw material for brewing beer, why didn't there be such a thing as beer in Huaxia, by the way, it seems that there is a hop thing added to it, and then beer will be made.

Perhaps, there is a difference in taste between barley and wheat, indeed, Yang Heng also feels that the flax cakes made of wheat flour, spring cakes and other cakes are worse than those made of barley flour.

When the steamed bread made of fermented flour made by Yang Heng came out, the barley began to be planted less slowly, and there were more steamed bread on the market. Barley is still grown in a certain amount. Barley is much more drought resistant than wheat. Therefore, barley is still grown in some mountainous areas where water sources are scarce.

Now Yang Heng is also a little worried, barley may soon disappear in Datang, why, it is because of the use of waterwheels, and the water system in the entire Datang in the early Tang Dynasty is quite developed, it is easy to lift water to high places, especially the wheat seeds that have been improved by Yang Heng. That's more than the yield of barley, in this era of little grain production, people will easily abandon the low yield of barley, and go to plant the high yield of wheat, taste, don't joke, this meal is not enough, what kind of taste, even the rich people's homes also need to give people some high-yield wheat.

Yang Heng sometimes wonders if he is coming. Will it make a species disappear, but after careful consideration. Some laughed dumbly, this barley still has a certain status, at least among the families of some officials and wealthy people, they still need this good taste of food, and they will not let it die. Even Yang Heng himself likes to eat some food made of barley flour, Yang Heng has learned some delicious food after coming here, and I don't know if it is good or bad, is he starting to move towards the goal of being a foodie.

Thinking of eating, by the way, how about the grapes in the mountain, Yang Heng suddenly remembered that he was originally going to transplant grapes outside the mountain this year, but he was delayed by a sudden smallpox, no, it is better to go to the mountains to have a look.

…………

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Heng was stunned, but he saw the flower pots full of vineyards, up and down, pulled with ropes, and there was a grape growing there in each of the flower pots, and there were even grapes growing on top of the grapes in some pots.

"Xiao Langjun, you are here, you see, we did what you wanted, it was really good, the grapes in these pots basically bear fruit this year, if you cut them from the basin, take them home, put them in the house and raise them, maybe you can still produce grapes in winter."

At this time, a fruit farmer stepped forward to introduce to Yang Heng, it turned out that last year, Yang Heng had made such a suggestion, "Alas, if I am not in a hurry to transplant these grapes next year, maybe I can also use a pot to raise grapes, just directly put the new branches of the grapes from the bottom of the pot, and then put soil in the pot, I think the grape is still on the seedling, then it can not only produce grapes, but also take root, then cut off the grape seedling at the bottom of the pot, and the grape in the pot will live. The grapes will continue to grow the next year. ”

"Xiao Langjun, tell me, what kind of method is this?" When Yang Heng said this, some old farmers were interested, and they actually went to the bottom of it. "This thing is like this, you see, that flower pot, when firing, make a hole in the bottom in advance, in fact, this is also necessary to make a flower pot, why, because there is a hole to ensure that the water in the flower pot is appropriate, and this hole we can use it, so that a new lesson of grape seedlings from the branches of the tree through the bottom......" So Yang Heng gave these old farmers a lesson on raising grapes in flower pots, to say that this is created by Yang Heng, the answer is naturally no, Yang Heng also saw such a method from an agricultural program in his previous life, so he thought about it here, but these old farmers didn't think so, they naturally thought that Yang Heng came up with it, what Xiao Langjun said, it must be true, they never doubted it, so there was this result.

"Well, yes, yes, you're all good, by the way, how many new branches are there to use?" "Xiao Langjun, do you still want to ......?" "Ah, no, can the branch be pressed now, if not, it must be transplanted to the outside next year, otherwise the delay will be too long, by the way, the grapes in these pots will be shipped out by the housekeeper later."

To be honest, although this is a surprise, Yang Heng doesn't particularly care, now what they lack is not fruit, but wine, naturally he will not object, it just so happens that there is nothing to give a gift this year, so this is a good gift, and for some industry shareholders to send so many pots of grapes each is also a good New Year's gift, isn't it?

"Elder Zhang, you come." Zhang Lao, that is, the old farmer in charge of grapes among these old farmers, "Xiao Langjun, you call me." "Yes, you say, will the grapes in these pots produce another crop of grapes in the winter?" Since you think of gift-giving, it's not the same to give a grape to a copy of the gift with grapes.

"Well, if the fertilizer is sufficient, make another fork and put it in the greenhouse in time, and most of the grapes will bear fruit." "That's good, that's good, yes, and the question just now, are there any new grape seedlings?" "Yes, yes, there will be no delay in transplanting grapes next year, at least we can guarantee more than one acre of vineyards, I don't know how much you need Xiao Langjun." "Well, that's enough, that's enough."

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, can you give me dozens of pots of grapes in these pots?" Well, why are you everywhere? Yang Heng was a little depressed, obviously, if Yu Zhang wanted it, it was naturally to send it to the palace to show off, but he couldn't help but give it, in this case, maybe some ministers' gifts would have to be thought of separately, because Yu Zhang gave too much, Li Er would also give it to the ministers, this is always a new thing, isn't it, you must know that at this time, gold and silver are just a number for some ministers, Li Er's reward for them is a routine, not rewarding seems to have shortcomings, reward, they really don't lack those gold and silver, And this grape will naturally make Li Er's eyes shine, and even Yang Heng plans to let Li Er blackmail.

"How about it, brother-in-law, you can give it to me." Yu Zhang hugged Yang Heng's arm and sprinkled coquettishly, and Yang Heng was a clever person, and this little girl also began to grow up.

"Okay, here you go, stay away from me." "Hee-hee, I know that my brother-in-law is fine, smack." Yu Zhang actually kissed Yang Heng on the face very boldly, obviously, this daughter-in-law can't run away, Yang Heng is waiting for Li Er's anger.

Some people may say, why did Yang Heng make the two princesses fall in love, naturally, this woman's mind can't be studied, and Yang Heng doesn't understand why there are two princesses who value him, forget it, let's go with the flow, Li Er will get angry when he gets angry, it's a big deal to give Li Er some more skills.
