When the sun was about to set on Gu Wanning's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Gu Wanning finally waited for a carriage full of goods.

The carts were indeed filled with seeds that had never appeared in Daxing, and I originally thought that there was only one rare seed, or the number of seeds was not much, but when those carriages were all opened, Gu Wan was still taken aback.

Because these seeds together are nearly 10,000 catties.

"Master, what is this round lump? How can it still sprout, can this still be used as a seed? ”

"And these, the buds have grown an inch long, they must be broken."

Gu Wanning looked at the two crops pointed to by Chunlan and Qiu Ju, and an excited look flashed in her eyes, "No, it's because they have sprouts that they are good things, if you read it right, these two crops are sweet potatoes and potatoes that the master once said!" Quick, you first divide all the potatoes that have sprouted, and gather all the people in the village and build a greenhouse. ”

All the seeds in the car were moved into the temporary warehouse, and she looked at it, and the potatoes were about 3,000 catties, and only one-third of them had sprouted.

There are also sweet potatoes, which are about more than 4,000 catties, and there are also small buds on the sweet potatoes.

The captain of the caravan explained: "Originally, we bought 10,000 catties of these crops, but after a few months of drifting on the ship, we lost some sweet potatoes and potatoes, and two ships sank in the face of wind and waves, which is a pity." ”

Fortunately, the crew was rescued by them in time, otherwise they would have suffered a lot of losses this time at sea.

Gu Wanning remembered that the master said that the planting method of sweet potatoes is not the same as potatoes, and to cultivate sweet potato seedlings, you must first pick strong and scarless sweet potato roots for cultivation, and if the temperature is low when cultivating seedlings, you must also make a warm kang.

Potatoes are planted directly with sprouted tubers, and its growth temperature is lower, that is, potatoes can grow at the current temperature, and the growth cycle of potatoes is much shorter than that of sweet potatoes.

The most important thing is that in addition to these two, there is also a whole storehouse of yellow and clear seeds.

Qiu Ju stood in front of those seeds for a long time without speaking, Chunlan walked over and patted her: "What do you want to say?" ”

"This looks like rice, but it's not the same as rice." The grains are too big and still yellow.

The head of the caravan said: "Before we set off, the owner drew a picture for us, and there is this kind of thing on the picture, and the owner calls it corn, and the owner says that corn can yield thousands of catties per mu, and it is a good staple food."

And those sweet potatoes and potatoes can reach thousands of catties, which I also heard from the owner, and the big nose also said so. ”

"Have you ever asked how these crops are grown?" Chunlan asked.

"Asked, however, it is a little different from what the owner said, the owner said that after these sweet potatoes are planted in the field, it can grow a very long sweet potato vine, and the sweet potato vine can also be cut and continued to be planted, and it will not affect the yield of sweet potatoes.

At the beginning, the owner told us to find sweet potatoes and potatoes, saying that it could yield three to five thousand catties per mu, but we didn't believe it, how could there be such a high-yield crop, but this time we didn't expect to find it. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people in Zhuangzi opened their mouths in shock: "Three or five thousand catties per mu? How can there be such a high yield of grain in the world? ”

They are not suspicious for the sake of doubt, but the power of this sentence is too great, the common people dig in the field, hard year after year, in order to be fed and clothed, but even if the Daxing Dynasty is so prosperous, there are still a large part of them who are not hungry, and it can only be said that most of them are not hungry.

But if there is a kind of food that can produce 35,000 catties per mu, then at least it can solve the problem of food and clothing for a large number of people.

Many tenants said excitedly: "Didn't the proprietor say to let those sprouted potatoes be picked out?" Everyone, do it. ”

The steward of Zhuangzi was excited and a little curious: "Can this potato grow in winter?" ”

"Let's try it, anyway, these potatoes have sprouted, is there any idle place on the Zhuangzi?"

The steward said: "The north side of Zhuangzi, near the corner of the mountain, is still empty because it is not suitable for growing wheat. ”

Gu Wanning said: "Then vacate that side, build a warm shed, and try it from the ground over there." Then make some boxes that are one foot high and two feet wide, let the sweet potatoes germinate in these boxes, and then transplant them into the greenhouse, and some of them continue to be raised in the boxes to see which ones grow faster and grow well. ”

As soon as her words came out, everyone was busy.

She took out a silver ticket from her body and handed it to the shopkeeper Zhu, asked him to take the caravan into the city to have a good meal, changed into clothes that were convenient for work, and began to pick up potatoes.

"Be careful, don't break the buds on it, Chunlan go get a knife, these buds will be cut off."

Chunlan had never seen a planting method to cut the seeds, and she was very hesitant to listen to her master's instructions.

"Go, what are you doing standing there? Don't worry, the master said it very clearly at the time, and she also wrote down the planting methods of some crops, if you don't believe it, you can go back and look for it, it's in the master's study. ”

After they returned to Beijing, the master also followed back to Beijing, the master had a place to live in the capital, and her things were all in the house that Xiao Sanjin entered.

Chunlan: ...... It doesn't have to be so troublesome, she still believes in her master's memory.

"The master will never forget, you said that when you saw the old master, you must have said it and written it, and there is nothing unbelievable about the slave."

With that, she hurried to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife for her master.

The steward of the Zhuangzi has already assigned a part of the manpower to tidy up the land at the foot of the mountain, and the woman on the Zhuangzi followed the owner to pick potatoes and cut potatoes.

Because Gu Wanning left a message before coming to Zhuangzi, Ye Hanyu changed his clothes and chased after Zhuangzi after returning home.

At this time, the Zhuangzi was full of fire, and all the people in the courtyard were busy working, and when they saw a carriage parked at the door, someone immediately welcomed Ye Hanyu in.

"Lord, the princess is watching her subordinates make wooden boxes, do you want to go back to the backyard to rest or go to the princess."

Ye Hanyu: "Take this king to see the box you are making." ”

The subordinates hurriedly welcomed the people into the wooden room that had just been cleared, and as soon as they entered the door, Ye Hanyu saw the little princess sitting in a corner watching the craftsman work, "Do you want a princess to watch it herself?" ”

Gu Wanning got up with a smile, "Of course not, I'm not idle."

Why did the prince come to Zhuangzi? Haven't had dinner yet? I didn't eat either, so let's go eat first. ”
