Chapter 037: Potato Germination

Liu An didn't do it on a whim, when he looked at his panel for the first time, the four words 'not yet tabled' made Liu An feel very nostalgic.

The other people in the attribute panel are all surnames and names, and the word is so-and-so, and when they get to themselves, they have become unlisted words.

It looks like it's on the same level as the housekeeper or the disaster victims, and he looks uneducated, and he doesn't even have a word.

Cui Shi looked at Liu An and pondered for a moment before saying, "My son has indeed grown up, and it's time for you to know some things." ”

After finishing speaking, Cui got up, went to his room and brought a bamboo slip and handed it to Liu An.

Liu An took it curiously, only to see two lines of small characters on it:

The name is An, but I hope that my son will be as his name suggests, and his life will be safe, and he will not be sick and bedridden for a long time like his father.

When he reaches adulthood, he will live forever, live forever, and survive for a long time, not like a father.

After Cui Shi handed over the bamboo slip to Liu An, her eyes gradually overflowed with tears, and she choked up and said:

"This is left by your father when he is dying, so that my mother will take it out when she waits for your coming-of-age crown, and now my son is in urgent need of a letter, so he should obey your father's last words."

Liu An looked at the word 'immortal' on the bamboo slip and fell silent.

Isn't this Guan Yu's cousin?

Do you want to use the same word with Guan Yu?

Cui thought that Liu An missed his deceased father, so he didn't bother.

Liu An was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

That's it, the father's life can't be done, especially the death of the father's life, I don't know who to talk to.

Anyway, Guan Yu also changed the table word later, so it is not unacceptable not to really use a table word.

So Liu An knelt on the ground with bamboo slips in both hands, and said respectfully: "My son obeys his father's orders!" ”

Cui Shi nodded, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and helped Liu An up to continue eating.

Because of this episode, the atmosphere became sluggish, and the mother and son didn't say a few words after that, and after eating, they cleaned the pots and pans and went back to the house.

The next day, Liu An finished his daily homework, and after eating, he went to pick up Liu Bei and Liu Ming and go to the disaster camp.

The carpenter approached Liu An and asked what to do after the two houses and the well were built, and Liu An told the carpenter about his plan.

First of all, you need an empty room for potatoes, you need houses that can accommodate all the victims, and each house needs to build a fire wall, and then a wall of earth the size of three or four acres of land.

When the carpenter understood, he went to plan and build.

Liu An stayed in the camp for a while, and when he saw that everything was going well, he called Feng Yan and went to the city again to assemble the Quyuan plow.

In addition to lunch dinner, the two have been non-stop installation of the Quyuan plow, with yesterday's experience, the two of them are more and more proficient in installation, an hour after lunch will be 30 sets of Quyuan plough all installed.

After that, the two of them stacked five curved ploughs on the ox cart and drove back to the camp of the victims.

At this time, the two houses have been fully built, the carpenters are installing doors and windows, and several carpenters are directing the victims to build two more houses.

The well has already overflowed with some water, and after precipitation, it can be used, and Liu An finally does not need to replenish the water himself.

After unloading the Quyuan plow, Liu An told Feng Yan how to use it, and asked him to arrange for fifteen young men to use the Quyuan plow to plough one acre and four points of land in the Han Dynasty early tomorrow.

Although Liu An has 30 ploughing cattle in his inventory, he only ploughs one acre and a quarter of land, and there is no need to release so many cattle.

In the evening, Liu An saw that the breeze was blowing today, which was very suitable for cutting potatoes.

called the 40 women who had given out kitchen knives before, and called 10 young men to move all the wooden boxes to the side of the potatoes, and at the same time asked Liu Bei and Liu Ming to arrange for people to prepare a fire to make rice.

The 100 wooden boxes customized by Liu An at that time were customized according to the amount of potatoes required for a modern acre of land.

Because the chemical fertilizer in his newbie gift package is the amount used in one mu in modern times, Liu An plans to use all these fertilizers and cannot waste them.

Liu An doesn't plan to plant more potatoes for the time being.

Potatoes have high requirements for soil fertility, and it is impossible to have a high yield without chemical fertilizers, so instead of wasting time and effort to plant, it is better to eat them directly, leaving the land to wait for fertilizer or other crops to be pumped.

By then, the time for planting potatoes has passed, and these potatoes can no longer be planted.

Seeing that Liu Bei was busy, Liu An began to teach women how to cut potatoes into pieces.

"There are a few things you need to remember. First, make sure that there is a bud eye on each small piece. All came over to see, this is the bud eye. Liu An picked up a potato and pointed to the person next to him.

He doesn't want everyone to learn it at once, as long as the people next to him understand it, and then teach it to others.

"Then, like I did, cut the potatoes into five to eight small pieces along the skin, each with a peel on it."

If a potato has many sprouts, it can be cut into ten pieces at most to raise seedlings, and it is generally cut into 5 to 8 pieces normally.

Of course, potatoes can also emerge when they are buried directly in the soil, but if they are cut into eight pieces, they are eight seedlings, and if there is enough ground, the yield of potatoes cut into pieces by the same number of potato seeds is equivalent to eight times the yield of directly buried.

The gap is self-evident.

Liu An said as he demonstrated it himself, and after seeing that a few people nearby understood, Liu An continued:

"After cutting, apply the grass ash on the cut surface of each piece and spread it flat into the box, remembering that the side with the bud eye should be facing up."

Grass ash is the residue of burning plants, the residue of burning wood is wood ash, and the residue of burning hay leaves is grass ash.

This material can be used to disinfect the cut surface of potatoes, and there is a lot of firewood burned these days, so there is no need to worry about not enough.

"Cut until those boxes are full, and then have people move to the side of the room and stack them against the firewall, you know?"

Liu An asked a few women nearby, and when he saw that several of them nodded, Liu An said loudly: "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask these people." ”

It's just that when Liu An raised his head and shouted to the people behind him, he found a face that shouldn't be here.

Liu Bei didn't know when he got into the women's team, and when he heard Liu An's words, he even nodded thoughtfully.

Liu Anxin secretly said badly, he deliberately broke him away, why did he still come over.

Looking at the cooking side, Liu An found that the victims had already started cooking in an orderly manner, and there was no need for others to command and arrange it, no wonder Liu Bei had time to come and eavesdrop.

Liu An was caught off guard by this beating, but Liu An would not show anything wrong on his face, he looked at Liu Bei and asked:

"Has Xuande learned how to do it?"

"I already know probably, although I missed a few sentences before, but the method is not difficult, I can probably guess, and I can understand the specific operation method at a glance." Liu Bei replied modestly with his fists hushed.

"Very good, I will hand it over to Xuande here, you look at them, don't make mistakes." Liu An smiled and instructed, and left to find Feng Yan.

After walking out of Liu Bei's sight, the smile on Liu An's face disappeared instantly, and it was so gloomy that it could almost drip water.

This matter is indeed not rigorous enough for him, I thought it was just to teach the peasant woman how to cut potatoes, and it would not take long to finish.

But he never expected that Liu Bei would do things so quickly, but he would finish the matter arranged by Liu An in a moment.

Although Liu Anxin secretly hated himself for not being careful enough, it was too late to regret it at this time.

had to do something to Liu Bei so early, which was really not what Liu An wanted.

But he had no choice, in case Liu Bei suddenly changed his mind and ran to an unknown corner, it would be difficult for Liu An to find him again.

Potato cutting is a very critical step in potato cultivation, some people do not know how to sterilize the cut surface of potatoes, which will cause a large number of potato seeds to rot, and there is a high probability of disease after emergence.

The number of diseased seedlings will reduce the yield in equal proportions.

If it is unfortunate that more than half of it will be replenished, the yield will be directly reduced by half.

There are also some people who don't know how to cut potatoes into pieces and raise seedlings, and directly take a whole potato and plant it, and the yield will be greatly reduced.

Although Liu An's fertilizer is very important, it is for this barren wasteland, if the potatoes are planted in fertile land, and then the fertilizer is reasonable, the yield will not be too bad.

Therefore, Liu An's matter must be resolved in advance.
