quarreled after arguing, and the two of them finished arguing and began to do their own things.

Empress Eldest Sun's orders could not be ignored.

Fan Jingjing looked at the fields outside, it was spring, and it was still a little cold, and from time to time it would drop to a frosty temperature.

So the land has only been turned over, but it has not yet begun to be sown.

Fan Jingjing knew that such a ripe field would naturally be taken care of before. Seeing that there is not a single weed on the land, you know how attentive the previous owner took care of.

Such a land, Empress Changsun promised her, "If the potatoes have half the yield you say." This field will be given to you. ”

Perhaps Empress Changsun has discovered that Shuiyun Palace is particularly good at planting, so Fan Jingjing's land is not small, far exceeding the Tang Dynasty's land awarding standards.

Fan Jingjing got 200 acres of land.

However, these lands are only temporarily used by Fan Jingjing, and whether the ownership can be in the hands of Fan Jinjin in the future depends on the effect of potato planting.

"How to grow potatoes, you'd better tell the truth and don't lie to me."

Niu Shijin asked with a serious expression.

He wanted to go to war, but he knew how important the work that Empress Eldest Sun had given him.

And Niu Shijin thinks that Fan Jingjing is his woman, if such a woman runs away, he will be too faceless.

In his heart, Niu Shijin was particularly satisfied with Fan Jingjing's appearance and body. I don't want to share the same woman with another man.

The potatoes are planted.

Empress Eldest Sun agreed to give marriage.

The two of them just had their own ghosts, and neither of them talked to each other about what they could get.

"Just watch how I plant."

"No, looking at your white and tender little hands, I don't believe that you can do farm work.

And potatoes are very important, I heard that you only got these few, we can't let the potatoes have any accidents. I also have to send a request to the eldest grandson queen. ”

"You plant one, I'll plant one. See who can grow the potatoes well. ”

"No, just plant one, it's too unsafe."

Over this issue, the two quarreled again.

In the end, Niu Shijin agreed with Fan Jingjing's plan, but he said: "You must explain to me in detail the method of planting potatoes." ”

You must know that there is no way to harvest the things planted in Datang, and it is a normal thing to encounter pests and diseases, and some have no way to absorb enough water after the climate is dry, and some seeds do not have enough nutrients to grow.

At this time, Niu Shijin regarded the potato as a very large seed.

In the planting business, Niu Shijin is Fan Jingjing's chief. In Datang, those who are deputies must obey the orders of the commander.

In the workplace, Fan Jingjing is a good employee.

"I don't know how to pretend to understand...... Fan Jingjing muttered aggrievedly.

However, she still seriously explained the method of potato planting:

"Potatoes are tubers of plants that grow in the ground, and there is also a stem with green leaves on the ground. The planting site should pay attention to sufficient light.

Potatoes should not be grown in high temperatures, but adequate sunlight is essential.

The location chosen must have access to sunlight most of the day and the soil is fertile and loose.

Potatoes are suitable for growing on hillsides, and clayey soils are not suitable for growing potatoes.

Potatoes should not be planted in soil that is prone to water accumulation, otherwise they will rot. So, look for a well-drained location. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the potatoes are planted without too much moisture in the soil.

As for this potato, it can grow many trees.

Those more concave places are the sprout eyes, and if you put the potatoes in a warm, moist and sunny place for four or five days, the sprout eyes will sprout.

We can cut the potatoes into small pieces a few days in advance, with at least 2 buds on each piece.

The incision will slowly harden, so that when planted in the soil, the hard shell will play a protective role. ”

"That means these two potatoes can grow a lot of potatoes? That's great. ”

Due to the small number of seeds, Niu Shijin thought that he would be held back by potatoes for many years.

"Are you still listening?"

"Listen, listen, but have you ever planted it before, and it sounds like it's a textbook?"

"You're just following the script!"

Of course, Fan Jingjing will not admit that she has not planted it before.

She has only grown a few potted plants in her planting experience.

In fact, when she saw the land, she was a little dazed for a moment.

"Dig trenches, spaced about a foot apart, so that it has enough room to grow. Otherwise, the harvest will not be enough.

When planting them, cover them with palm-thick soil, but don't fill it up, the place where the potatoes are planted should be sunken.

That's pretty much what it looks like anyway.

The place where potatoes are grown does not need to be too good, and the hillside land can be planted without occupying the existing mass production area.

On the contrary, paddy fields for rice fields are not suitable for growing potatoes. ”

"Do you still want to find paddy fields? There are no paddy fields in the Guanzhong area. If they all go to irrigate the paddy fields, there will be not enough water. ”

"I said, I clearly said that paddy fields are not suitable."

Fan Jingjing was so angry that her teeth itched. Can't the men of Datang speak?

However, Niu Shijin no longer paid attention to Fan Jingjing, but said to the middle-aged man outside: "Uncle Jiang, why are you here?" ”

Most of the men with craftsman nationality are controlled by the imperial court, but Jiang Blacksmith does not belong to the craftsman level, but belongs to the "family" of the Niu family.

It is a blacksmith that Niu Jinda picked up on the battlefield, his skills are quite good, and his brain is also flexible, and he often comes up with new products. You can also make some farming tools for the Niu family's manor.

People who always remember technology, if they are immersed in technical memory, often have some strange problems.

The strange thing about the ginger blacksmith is that if he sees something new, he wants to crack the principle of it.

Speaking of which, he has no ability to invent, but he is very good at improvement.

"I looked at Fan Xiaoniang's suitcase was really interesting, but I couldn't lift the suitcase, so I had to follow the back to see how the suitcase worked, and I heard that Fan Xiaoniang's suitcase has many interesting things.

I specially came to ask the little lady Fan to open the suitcase for me to watch. ”

"It's easy, I'll just order her to open it and show you."

"Why do you want me to listen to you, this suitcase is my personal belongings. It was full of treasures taken out by the Water Cloud Palace.

A universal potato is so cherished by the queen mother. The value of other things is beyond your imagination. ”

"It must be very precious, I was abrupt. But I didn't see it, and my heart didn't belong.

Please let the little lady agree to let me live here and find a chance to see it. ”

Fan Jingjing felt that when she came to this dynasty, she had to make friends with some people, but she didn't know the identity of Jiang Blacksmith, otherwise she wouldn't have treated Jiang Blacksmith like this.

At least she'll throw something to attract the ginger blacksmith and slowly use it for her.
