Chapter 17: Overboard
"Childe, this is ......"
When the three peasants saw this strange jaund, they couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Let's say it's a fruit, it's potholed, and there is a little dirt on the surface, and I don't know if I can eat it.
Let's say it's a seed, but it's a bit bigger, much bigger than a tree seed.
Seeing this, Hu Changan smiled slightly.
The ancients, the first time they saw this tuber crop, it was normal to be at a loss.
Hu Changan asked Wang Wu to bring a knife, carefully divided the potatoes into several pieces, and explained to the three farmers: "This thing is called potatoes." ”
"This yellow bump you see is both the fruit of the potato and the seed of the potato."
"It doesn't grow on trees like ordinary fruits, but in the dirt."
"When planting, the potatoes should be cut into small pieces, and each piece must be made sure that there are sprout eyes."
"Then the cut potatoes are dried for a day, and then the potatoes can be buried in the soil and planted."
"Remember, plant with the buds facing up, about half a foot to two-thirds of a foot apart, and then cover with a tenth of a foot of soil."
After Hu Changan finished cutting the first potato, he motioned for the three of them to step forward and cut the potato.
These three people are worthy of being quite experienced old farmers, and after a while, they cut the potatoes evenly according to Hu Changan's instructions and put them in a basket to dry.
Seeing this, Hu Changan was also slightly relieved.
Finally, the first step towards growing potatoes has been taken!
This potato is not only related to Hu Changan's net worth and life, but also related to the granary of tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, Hu Changan has to be cautious.
"Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, you remember to take turns guarding these potatoes, and you must not let these potatoes out of your sight."
"Yes!" The three of them suddenly stood straight and answered in unison.
After solving the potato, Hu Changan's heart finally fell back into his stomach, and he walked towards the "dormitory" assigned to him with a bed.
Although this palace is very simple, it covers a large area. Hu Changan walked and walked, and got lost inside.
Oops, it was better to leave that little eunuch to show the way, but now it's really embarrassing. Hu Changan thought with a little chagrin.
If you accidentally bump into a harem lady, you can't tell if you really have a long mouth.
Walking through a winding corridor, Hu Changan was just about to continue walking forward when he suddenly heard the cry of a child on the other side of the wall.
Hu Changan looked in curiously from the crescent moon door on the side, and the scene that made people raise blood pressure suddenly came into view.
A child in a green brocade robe actually pressed the head of another child in a white robe into the water.
Seeing this, Hu Changan was not angry, and hurriedly ran to the side of the rockery in three steps and two steps, pushed away the child in green, and rescued the child in white from the pool.
As soon as Hu Changan fished out the water, the child in white coughed desperately, spit out a big mouthful of water, and wet the robe that was already covered with mud, so pitiful.
The green-clothed child was pushed aside, and he was also directly blinded, and only after a while did he stammered and pointed at Hu Changan and said, "You...... How dare you push me? Do you know who I am! ”
Those who live in the palace are, of course, the princes and grandsons.
But Hu Changan is not afraid.
The place is remote, and the two children are both four or five years old, and it is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang is the unfavored prince born in the past two years.
Hu Changan glanced at the child in green, and said angrily: "I know who you are, you are a murderer." ”
This kid in green looks like he is already four or five years old, and he should be the age of reason, who knows that he is so light and heavy.
If Hu Changan wasn't there, the child in green might have drowned the child in white.
Even if he can't drown, this child in white will have to leave some psychological trauma in the future.
At this time, the child in white gradually came to his senses.
But he didn't cry, just timidly grabbed Hu Changan's clothes and apologized to the child in green in a low voice: "Brother, don't pay attention to him, this big brother probably just came, and he doesn't understand the rules, but he just bumped into you unintentionally, brother, don't take it to heart." ”
Good guy, it's still a brother.
Looking at the skillful appearance, it is estimated that the children in white are bullied a lot on weekdays.
Brothers can be so ruthless, and they are really ruthless, and they are the emperor's family.
Hu Changan let out a long sigh.
Although he didn't want to worry about the royal affairs, the kid in white really looked pitiful, and Hu Changan couldn't leave without the heart to leave, just carefully helped the kid in white sort out his clothes, and said: "Next time my brother bullies you again, remember to tell the adult, do you know?" ”
The white-clothed child pursed his lips, but he didn't speak.
It's useless to tell adults, I've already tried it.
Since the death of his mother's childbirth, except for his brother, there is no one in the huge palace who is really good to him.
However, his own brother has been seriously ill and bedridden for many days, and he is about to die.
Although children don't understand, they can also peek out from the expressions of adults.
Thinking that the only person who was good to him in the future would also leave him, the child in white couldn't help but feel sad.
When you are alone, you can still endure it.
But wrapped in the warm embrace of this kind big brother, the child in white couldn't hold back anymore, and cried when he sniffed.
Hu Changan was also stunned.
Growing up so big, I don't have any experience in watching children, and I don't know what to do when my child cries.
Just as Hu Changan was hurriedly coaxing the children in white, a bustling voice suddenly came from the corridor.
Not long after, a noble lady dressed in a light yellow palace dress appeared in this remote courtyard with many palace maids and eunuchs.
The woman is extremely beautiful, her skin is fair and translucent, she is so tender that she can almost pinch out the water, and her facial features reveal a hint of charm in the atmosphere, which is definitely not inferior to the movie stars of later generations.
Seeing this, Hu Changan couldn't help but be stunned for a second.
After coming back to his senses, Hu Changan hurriedly leaned over and saluted, trying not to let his eyes drift to the beautiful woman's face.
It turns out that this is Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine, and sure enough, being the emperor is a lot of blessing.
Seeing this, the child in green seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly rushed towards the beautiful woman, hugging the beautiful woman's thigh and crying: "Mother, it's this stranger, who beat the child and didn't say anything, and pushed Brother Yunxi into the water." ”
"Oh, is it? Who are you, a foreign man dares to appear in the inner court and bully my Yun Wei, what crime should you be guilty of?! The beautiful woman hugged the child in green and looked at Hu Changan with a hint of anger.
Hu Changan hurriedly put the white-clothed child aside, knelt down and saluted, and couldn't help but be suspicious.
Yun Bing, Yun Xi?
Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi?
Aren't these the two sons-in-law of today's prince Zhu Biao?
I didn't expect to be bumped into by myself!
