Chapter 45: The outskirts of the western part of the city
"Peanuts?" There was an uproar among the teenagers.
"What do you do when you grow peanuts, and no one eats them." Huzi spoke their minds.
Feng Xiaoyue didn't make a sound, only squatted down and picked up a handful of soil, and pursed her lips.
"Look at this soil, the soil is very good, and it is the most suitable for growing peanuts." Feng Xiaoyue glanced at them, "Moreover, no one eats it, because if you can't eat it, nothing will happen from the beginning, as long as you promote the way to eat peanuts, it is also of great value." ”
"What's more, in addition to peanuts that can be eaten directly, they can also be used for various purposes, and they are also of great benefit to the human body." The teenagers were skeptical, and Feng Xiaoyue said again, "I'm not stupid, so naturally I won't do such useless work." You can wait and see if I can make you change your mind in the future. ”
If it was an ordinary farmer, Feng Xiaoyue naturally didn't need to spend so much money, but she still hoped that someone would know about it and spread what she knew to other places.
The teenagers glanced at each other, and they all obediently picked up their hoes, and Feng Xiaoyue smiled lightly and explained to them the cultivation of peanuts.
"When the land rises, dig small pits on top of the pit and sprinkle two or three seeds on each pit. After planting, you should pay attention to fertilization and watering at any time, and then the seeds that go down can be covered with soil, and then covered with a layer of straw on the soil surface. ”
As he spoke, a carriage stopped outside the shed. Feng Xiaoyue heard the neighing of the horse, and looked out, only to see Murong Xi coming with a fan.
"I heard that the princess went out early in the morning, and I wanted to come here to try my luck, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Murong Xi slowly walked up to Feng Xiaoyue, Feng Xiaoyue smiled in her heart: If you want to find her, what other place can you have besides the greenhouse and the palace.
"What is the princess planting, I have rarely seen this kind of seed." Murong Xi curiously picked up a peanut, Feng Xiaoyue was too lazy to tell him again, so she said casually: "This is a newly found seed." Thinking that it might be useful, he told them to plant it first. ”
When the uncle in charge of sowing seeds next to him heard this, he hurriedly held back a smile and buried himself in his work.
Murong Xi didn't plan to break the sand pot and ask to the end, put the seeds back, and looked at Feng Xiaoyue: "The weather is so good today, it's better to invite the princess to go to the western suburbs of the city, it can be regarded as a trip." ”
Feng Xiaoyue looked at the land that was still half unsown, and hesitated not to go. Murong Xi persuaded again: "You must have already said these things, they already know, why do you have to watch here." ”
"While it's not the coldest yet, the princess might as well go outside to see if there's anything interesting." Xiaoyun felt bad when she heard it, and wanted to tell Feng Xiaoyue not to go, but Feng Xiaoyue agreed in order to have a new harvest.
Murong Xi took Feng Xiaoyue all the way to the woods on the outskirts, looking at the dead branches and leaves falling from the trees, Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help asking, "Has His Highness been to this place?" ”
"Nope." Murong Xi replied frankly, but saw that Feng Xiaoyue's face was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "It's just that I haven't been here, so I can ask you to come and see, if I have been to a place and send things directly to the palace, why do I have to make this trip." ”
Thinking that this was reasonable, Feng Xiaoyue reluctantly agreed, and stepped into the bushes with her skirt. Before a few people had gone far, Feng Xiaoyue found a few trees with red wild fruits. The flesh of the wild fruit is bright red, the flesh is standing one by one, some are ripe and rotten, and the crimson juice is falling down little by little, revealing the black core inside.
Feng Xiaoyue recognized this wild fruit, but couldn't name it for a while. She reached out and plucked a clean one, put it directly in her mouth, and the flesh burst open, and her mouth was full of honey (and) juice.
Murong Xi and Xiaoyun were dumbfounded, "This, can this thing be eaten?" ”
Feng Xiaoyue threw away the kernel, and also picked two and handed them to them, Murong Xi refused to eat them, and Xiaoyun put them in his mouth helplessly under Feng Xiaoyue's gaze? But if you taste it carefully, the juice is rich and the taste is not bad.
Murong Xi saw that Xiaoyun had eaten it and it was okay so far, but he still didn't dare to eat the wild fruit. Seeing that Feng Xiaoyue had been trying to pick higher wild fruits, Murong Xi threw away the wild fruits with Xiaoyun on his back, walked over and patted Feng Xiaoyue with a folding fan.
"If you want, don't bother, this is not far from outside, this king will ask someone to pick it for you."
"These fruits are perishable, so you have to pick them one by one, otherwise they will fall into a slice of jam." Feng Xiaoyue only picked a few with her hands, and she couldn't hold it anymore no matter how many hands she had, and she didn't want to spoil the fruit, so she deliberately reminded him a few words.
"Don't worry, if they can't even pick a single fruit, I don't have to raise this group of idlers?" Murong Xi said, the little guy who followed behind had already gone to the back to call someone? Murong Xi took the lead in walking in with his hands behind his back.
Feng Xiaoyue handed all the wild fruits to Xiaoyun and followed behind him. By this time, the weeds had already felt the chill and retreated to the soil, so the few people walked lightly.
I don't know how long I walked, but on the dead branches and leaves all over the ground, many purple-red petals suddenly appeared. Feng Xiaoyue raised her head, only to find that the few trees around her turned out to be bauhinia trees.
The trunk of the trunk stretches towards the sky, and the sparse branches are full of small purple-red flowers.
Murong Lin watched her stop and followed her line of sight, "Do you know these flowers?" ”
"These are watercress bauhinia, I didn't expect to see them here."
Xiaoyun was squatting on the ground to pick up some fallen flowers and keep them as sachets, and he also had deep admiration for Feng Xiaoyue for being so knowledgeable and talented.
"It's really strange, how can you, a woman who grew up in a deep boudoir, recognize so many things." Murong Xi looked at Feng Xiaoyue curiously.
Feng Xiaoyue lowered her head, and before she could answer his words, she saw a little white wrapped in many dead leaves under the tree in front of her.
As if afraid of making it noisy, Feng Xiaoyue put her index finger on her lips and motioned for Murong Xi to silence, Murong Xi really stopped talking, and Xiaoyun obediently covered her mouth.
Creeping to the bottom of the tree, Feng Xiaoyue gently picked off the dead leaves that were covered, and when all the leaves were removed, Feng Xiaoyue saw that it turned out to be a cluster of pocket mushrooms that had not grown for a long time. The mushroom is snow-white, and there is a little moisture hanging on it, and it looks like it has just grown early in the morning.
Murong Xi couldn't help laughing: "But some wild mushrooms are also worth your nervousness?" ”
"This is a pocket mushroom, which is grown by ordinary mushrooms, and it has high requirements for the environment." Feng Xiaoyue stood up, "Your Highness has a dagger or something." ”
Murong Xi coughed lightly, thinking that there was nothing to hide, so he took out a thin-bladed dagger pinned to the back of his waist. Feng Xiaoyue took it, weighed it, and squatted down again.
When Murong Xi went over, he saw Feng Xiaoyue actually digging the soil with his dagger, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Just pick mushrooms, what are you doing digging this soil?" ”
"Xiaoyun, give me your handkerchief." Feng Xiaoyue concentrated on what she was doing at hand and did not respond, Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, and quickly spread out the handkerchief.
The soil was a little wet and stained, and when Feng Xiaoyue dug it out, it hadn't fallen apart. Carefully holding the soil, Feng Xiaoyue wiped the dagger clean before returning it, "Thank you Your Highness for your help, this dagger will return to Zhao." ”
Murong Xi retracted it, still looking at Feng Xiaoyue directly. Feng Xiaoyue knew that he was anxious to know the function of these soils, so she took the handkerchief bag from Xiaoyun's hand.
"I once said that mushrooms are very demanding to grow, and generally if you want to eat mushrooms, you rely on farmers to go up the mountain to pick them, with or without them, everything depends on fate."
Murong Xi listened to her words, but thought a little, "Aren't you, you can also grow these mushrooms?" ”
"I haven't planted it. But it can be tried. Feng Xiaoyue didn't exaggerate, "These soils are equivalent to the roots of pocket mushrooms, with roots in their hands, and if you give it suitable conditions, maybe it can really be grown." ”
"If it is planted, then there will be no shortage of mushrooms, and there will be no more hard work for the people to go up the mountain to pick, which is really a great achievement." Murong Xi nodded, "It's just the question at the beginning, princess, you haven't answered me yet." ”
Xiaoyun was afraid that Feng Xiaoyue would work hard, so she helped to hold the bag of dirt in her hand, Feng Xiaoyue paid attention to whether she would not take it and sprinkle it well, and after a while, she came back to her senses and replied: "Businessman, naturally whatever you make money, you will do anything, does Your Highness have any questions?" ”
Murong Xi pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "No." He wasn't really satisfied with her answer, but he could always find clues in the coming days.
"It's not too early, Your Highness, why don't you go back first." As she spoke, Feng Xiaoyue saluted, and Murong Xi smiled and walked in front of her.
The news that Feng Xiaoyue and Murong Xi came out to play somehow reached Murong Lin's ears. Murong Lin didn't find anyone in the greenhouse, but when he heard the news, he hurriedly led the horse over.
By the time Feng Xiaoyue walked outside the woods, Murong Lin was already waiting there.
Murong Lin deliberately looked at Feng Xiaoyue's clothes and found that there was nothing unusual, so he was a little relieved, but Feng Xiaoyue was very displeased with his scrutinizing eyes, and he didn't worship any good faces.
"Why is Lin'er here, this king just found some good things, thanks to the help of the princess, it just so happened that you came. Let's go back together. Murong Xi generously shook his fan and walked outside the carriage, and he was face to face with Murong Lin.
Murong Lin never liked Murong Xi to call him that, and only stared at Murong Xi angrily, Xiao Yun happened to pull Feng Xiaoyue to his family's carriage.
"Uncle Huang wants to come to vassal elegance, how can he come to this kind of place to find something good." Murong Lin said that the yin and yang was weird, and he also glanced at Feng Xiaoyue pointedly.
"People will always change, and it is also a kind of wild fun to feel the meaning of heaven and earth." Murong Xi smiled indifferently.
"Since Uncle Huang has found something good, don't you mind if I take a look at it." As he spoke, Murong Lin wanted to reach out and pull the handkerchief bag in Feng Xiaoyue's hand.
Feng Xiaoyue hurriedly dodged over and pointed to the wild fruit that the people behind Murong Xi were holding.
"This is mine, and those are the prince's."
