Chapter 147: Planting Chili Peppers
Yunxi saw that his grandfather had spoken, and said: "The yield is higher than that of potatoes, and the immortals say that the yield of sweet potatoes ranges from two thousand catties to three thousand catties." ”
Bang dang! The chair on which Old Man Yun was sitting fell over
Mrs. Zhao didn't move this time, she just sat on the chair in a daze, numb~
After the two of them eased up, Old Man Yun said, "Go on." ”
"That yellow cob is corn. The yield per mu is 800 catties. ”
Old Man Yun: Whew~ It's finally normal, isn't it, this is not normal~
Mrs. Zhao: It is worthy of the "immortal seed" given by the immortals, it is amazing!
"The spiky one is a chili pepper."
Yunxi said the names of the four grains, the planting method, how to eat, and the output one by one, except for the chili pepper, which Yunxi prepared for himself to eat hot pot crayfish in the future, and the output of the other three grains.
Let the old man Yun go from the initial excitement to the current look, and he has adapted very well.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are two kinds of food that don't require land, and they appear for the sake of those who don't have enough to eat! If this is planted and reported to the imperial court, it will definitely be a great merit, and those ordinary people who can't eat can have enough to eat, how much merit will have to be accumulated?
However, the old man Yun was immediately doomed by the danger brought by the big pie, and he didn't bother much, he planted it first, anyway, it will take a long time, and when he has the results, maybe his second grandson will be admitted to the lifting of people, or the jinshi may not be! When the time comes, this will be the stepping stone for his second grandson to enter the official career!
Old man Yun knows what his second grandson thinks, and he just wants to climb to a high position to protect his granddaughter, and Old Man Yun also agrees, his third son can't pass the imperial examination, so he can only rely on his second grandson. Originally, Old Man Yun wanted to provide an official for the Yun family, and Yunbei just wanted to protect the good treasure, which happened to coincide.
Old Man Yun thought about it for a while, and then he took into account the problem of too few seeds, but thinking of his granddaughter's amazing immortal skills, Old Man Yun immediately stopped worrying.
We can mass produce in minutes, what are we worried about!
However, there is one thing that Mrs. Zhao is more strange, that is the chili pepper, what do the immortals do with this thing?
This thing tastes spicier than dogwood, what can it do except for cooking as a seasoning? Or say it's something for the benefit of the people? Mrs. Zhao asked curiously.
Yunxi listened to her grandmother's question, and felt a little weak in her heart, well, can she say that she took it because she wanted to eat crayfish and hot pot?
Of course not, the brain melon seeds were running rapidly, and immediately said: "Grandma, this chili pepper can keep out the cold, the immortal said, our village is located in the north, and it is very cold in winter, and it is very cold here, and the soldiers who guard the border pass are even colder. ”
Mrs. Zhao listened to her granddaughter's explanation, and immediately patted her thigh and said: "Oh, it's really a good thing for the benefit of the people, or the immortals have insight and think far, this thing called chili pepper must be planted, and there will be many varieties, and I will plant it in our vegetable garden later." ”
Yunxi saw that her grandmother believed what she said, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and she was not weak-hearted, chili peppers can keep out the cold, and we are not wrong!
After the grandmother and grandson finished speaking, they looked at the old man Yun, and waited for him to make arrangements, after all, this is new food, and they can't say to the villagers, "This thing can grow a lot, and it is still full, you can grow it with our family!" ”
Believe it or not, can you eat this thing? Is it toxic? What they haven't seen before, they don't dare to try it, and they don't know that there are immortals behind the Yun family!
Old man Yun already had an idea in his heart, since he wanted to plant, it must be planted in the whole village, and now it can't benefit the people of the whole world, so the people in his own village must not be left behind, and then he said his own arrangement, and he still needs his granddaughter to take action in this matter.
Yunxi listened to his grandfather's method, and at the same time praised his grandfather's wisdom in his heart, and wanted to go with her, and when the old man Yun finished talking about his method, Yunxi praised with a look of admiration: "Grandpa is so smart, grandpa is awesome!" Grandpa is amazing! ”
Yunxi's praise suddenly made Old Man Yun as comfortable as drinking ice water on dog days. With a trembling expression, he glanced at the old wife sitting next to him, and the expression seemed to say, "Look, I'm not bad, my granddaughter worships me a lot and praises me!" ”
Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes angrily, isn't it just that her granddaughter praised it, and she looked at the old man.
Mrs. Zhao saw that the matter was solved, so she hugged Yunxi out of the room. I didn't call my son and daughter-in-law, I went to get the tools, and first went to the vegetable garden to plant the peppers, this thing is not food, it is a seasoning thing, and it doesn't take up any land, Mrs. Zhao decided to plant some in the vegetable garden to taste the taste, and wait for the old man to arrange the success.
The peppers given by Yunxi are all fresh, and the seeds in them can be used directly when taken out, after all, we are a big guy with the ability to know the wood system, even if the seeds have not been cultivated by modern science, they can germinate in minutes.
Before Mrs. Zhao came to the vegetable garden, she got a scoop of water, found a piece of land in the back, and after looking left and right to see that there was no one, she asked her granddaughter to start condensing fairy dew.
Yunxi casually used his two small hands, overlapping up and down twice, a drop of milky white fairy dew was suspended in Yunxi's palm, Zhao Pozi looked at the drop in surprise, the suspended fairy dew, and was once again shocked by the ability of her own goddess Sun to use her skills.
Yunxi said: Meaningless, she is a spiritual ability, not only can see anything around her, but also make any object float! If the level is high, she herself can still float in the air for a short time!
Although, Mrs. Zhao has experienced a lot, but this ability to violate her cognition for more than 40 years is shocked once you see it, and it is different every time you are shocked, you have seen water droplets suspended in your hands without falling, scattering, or shocking!
Mrs. Zhao immediately came back to her senses, and quickly looked around vigilantly, and was relieved only after making sure that there was really no one.
Watching Yunxi drip the fairy dew into the water, he was completely relieved.
Mrs. Zhao did not delay, put all the seeds from the peppers into the water and soaked, and after the time was about the same, Mrs. Zhao carefully got the seeds soaked in the fairy dew, and then began to turn over the ground and dig the pits, after planting, the bath water of the pepper seeds in the water scoop was not wasted, and the peppers planted were very cherished, and they were watered one by one.
After watering, there was not much left in the scoop, so Mrs. Zhao directly sprinkled the remaining water into the leek field. It didn't take long for the seeds that had just been planted and watered to take root and sprout from the soil, and after a while, they grew into a foot-tall seedling.
Fortunately, Zhao Pozi took into account the distance when planting, and there was no such situation of being crowded one by one, and there was no need to remove the excess seedlings, seeing that it was not long, Zhao Pozi and Yunxi went back to the front yard.
Old man Yun explained the matter of the new grain to his three sons, as for the output, the old man Yun didn't say it explicitly, but said that it was higher than the current grain output.
At this point, the three of them were very surprised, and asked when they would start planting.
