Early in the morning, Wu Yong woke up from his sleep and habitually glanced at the system time, which was displayed as seven o'clock in the morning on March 3.

Although he has been in this era for almost a month and a half, he still hasn't changed the habit of getting up to see the time, but it is gratifying that he has learned to dress by himself, and finally got rid of the shame of being dominated by Cheng Zhao.

Cheng Zhao was sad about this for a few days, and let him use his tongue to coax him. After a simple wash, Wu Yong went to the kitchen, looked at the steaming pancakes on the board, couldn't help but pinch a piece down, and praised while eating: "Grandma's cooking skills are getting more and more exquisite, this cake is so fragrant!" Guo Shi glared at him angrily, and then waved his hand to chase him away: "Go aside, I don't know where you learned this delicate habit, you have to eat when you get up in the morning." Other families have two meals a day, but our family has to eat three meals a day. And you have to eat well at every meal, even those powerful children, and you will not enjoy it. After Wu Yong heard this, he was not ashamed but proud, and laughed: "What did Mother say!" In life, eating and drinking are two words, and it is a blessing to be able to eat and eat. There is a saying that the ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinkers left their names. Guo Shi was stunned when he heard this, and then he was about to open his mouth to reprimand him.

But he didn't want Zhuo Wenxuan to walk into the courtyard at this time, and sighed: "A good ancient sage is lonely, only the drinker leaves his name!" As soon as this sentence comes out, won't those who chase fame and fortune be ashamed of themselves. Those who seek fame do not know the wonder of turbid wine! I didn't expect you to have such a mind and insight at such a young age, you really deserve to be a prodigy who has been in the void for ten years, and your wisdom is really different. ”

"Uncle has won the award, and my nephew just said it casually." Wu Yong smiled embarrassedly, and then asked, "Uncle came over in the morning, but is there something?" ”

"I almost forgot, today, March 3, is a good time to plant melons and beans, I came here to ask your family's plans for this year, how many acres of melons, how many acres of soybeans?" Then he suggested: "Not long ago, you passed down the practice of soybean food, I estimate that the price of soybeans will rise in the future, why don't we grow more soybeans this year, okay?" ”

"No!" Wu Yong hurriedly stopped, he had a system in hand, and he simulated planting a few times, but there was no hint of soybeans, which shows that it is not possible to plant soybeans this year.

Zhuo Wenxuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why not?" I heard Zhu Lidian say that many of our folks want to grow soybeans this year. ”

"That's why don't plant it, if everyone grows soybeans, and after the harvest, everyone has a lot of soybeans in their hands, the price of soybeans will definitely be much lower than in previous years, we might as well plant some other crops, and then exchange with them." Zhuo Wenxuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Or you have foresight, many people just like to follow the trend and plant crops, don't you know the truth that more grain must be cheaper." At this moment, Zhu Lidian's voice suddenly came from the door.

"That's true! Fortunately, I came here today, otherwise the villagers in Fuwang will lose a lot this year. Wu Yong looked at the door, but it was Zhu Lidian who brought Ren Laosan over, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Good morning, two uncles!"

"No need to be polite," Zhu Lidian waved his hand, and then continued: "Today is Ren Laosan who has something to find you, and I just happened to meet him." Wu Yong's mind was full of question marks, and he couldn't help but look at Ren Laosan with some doubts.

I saw Ren Laosan touch his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Yesterday when I was selling pig's head meat in Wancheng, a passing merchant wanted to exchange a bag of seeds for all my pig's head meat, and at first I and the fourth child were unwilling. But after the merchant's rhetoric, we agreed. Then he sighed, "But when we opened the package, we found that most of the seeds inside were unknown, and we wanted to repent, but we found that the merchant had long since disappeared." I had to take it back and ask Zhu Lidian. Zhu Lidian, who was mentioned, also smiled wryly at this time,

"I have also seen the seeds in Ren Laosan's hand, except for the seeds of melons, white melons, and gourds, I can't recognize the others. However, no one knows whether the other seeds are melon seeds or not. As he spoke, he looked at Wu Yong and continued: "I thought that you had traveled to Taixu, maybe you knew what kind of seeds those seeds were, so I came over with Ren Laosan, and I also wanted to increase my knowledge. Wu Yong is curious now, since he crossed over, every time he encounters a problem, he asks Zhu Lidian for advice, and there seems to be nothing he doesn't know.

Don't look at Zhu Lidian as just a village chief in later generations, in fact, his responsibilities are very great. Not only did he have to manage Fuwangli for the imperial court, but also to maintain the prosperity of the township, which required him to have a large amount of knowledge.

It's like brewing wine and making herbs, how can ordinary people understand this! Now even Zhu Lidian doesn't know these seeds, Wu Yong feels that he may not be able to recognize them, but he has a system, as long as it is something he touches, the system mall will be unlocked, and he will know what kind of seed it is.

So Wu Yong didn't say much, took the big cloth bag in Ren Laosan's hand, and took out all kinds of small cloth bags from it.

Finally, good guys, there are as many as eight, are these really melon seeds? If it was in the later generations, Wu Yong could still believe that there were so many kinds of melons, but now it is the Han Dynasty, according to the historical materials he knows, many varieties should not have been passed down at this time.

For example, pumpkins and bamboo shoots are both native to the American continent, and they will not spread from there until the Great Voyage.

With such a question, Wu Yong first opened a small cloth bag, which is the seed of a winter melon, is it said that this winter melon was also planted in spring and March?

No wonder this guy can grow so big, it turns out that it has been growing for so long! But before he could speak, Zhu Lidian explained: "This is a white melon, it is recorded in the "Book of Scriptures", after frost, the skin is as white as powder, and its son is also white, so it is also called white winter melon." "It's the first time Wu Yong has heard of the saying that winter melons are called white melons, but it is true that as Zhu Lidian said, winter melons are green at first, and then turn white when they grow.

Then Wu Yong opened the second small cloth bag, which was the seeds of melons.

"This is a melon, also known as a melon, and its fruit stem, that is, guati, can be used as medicine." Well, Wu Yong has increased his knowledge again, and people in later generations eat melons, and few people pay attention to its fruit stalks.

Wu Yong opened the third small cloth bag, which was the seeds of gourds.

"This is gourd, also known as pot Lu, "Quiet Wind" cloud: 'Eat melons in July, break the pot in August', which can be used as a water scoop." Gourd, Wu Yong knew, and later generations also specially evolved the art of gourd, that is, using a pre-made mold on the young gourd to make the gourd grow according to the mold, growing all kinds of strange shapes, but harvested a lot of people.

In fact, what Wu Yong didn't know was what Zhu Lidian said

"Hulu" is not the same thing as the gourd in his impression. Then, Wu Yong opened the fourth small cloth bag, which was the seeds of cucumbers.

At this time, Zhu Lidian didn't speak, he really didn't know this seed, everyone looked at Wu Yong, wanting to hear his explanation.

Wu Yong said with a smile: "This is the cucumber, the seed that Zhang Qian brought back when he went to the Western Regions. Everyone was stunned, and Zhu Lidian asked with some doubts: "I remember that when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, he didn't bring back the seeds of this cucumber!" On the contrary, there is a courgette, which is oblong or cylindrical, yellow-green when ripe, and has a rough surface. This time it was Wu Yong's turn to be stunned, and then he remembered a record in later generations.

According to legend, the original name of cucumber was Hu Gua, but Shi Le, who was established after the establishment of Zhao, was originally a member of the Qiang tribe who entered the Sai, and was also called Hu people.

Therefore, after the founding of the country, he explicitly forbade it, and no matter how he spoke or made a fuss, he could not appear

The word "Hu", otherwise they will be beheaded. Once, Shi Le deliberately pointed to a plate of courgettes at a court meeting and asked the minister Fan Tan: "What is this?" Fan Tan knew that the emperor was deliberately considering, so he said: "Purple case delicacies, silver cups of green tea, gold bottles of nectar, jade plate cucumbers." Since then, the courgette has had to be renamed cucumber, and it has been continued by future generations.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong smiled and said: "It's this thing, my uncle is really well-read and memorized, and he can know what he hasn't seen in his chest." As he spoke, he opened the fifth small cloth bag and said, "This is the seed of a watermelon, and it is also a melon from the Western Regions." The fruit is large, nearly spherical or oval, fleshy, juicy, smooth skin, and varied in color and ornamentation. Summer is the most thirst-quenching way to eat. Zhu Lidian frowned and thought for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty: "I heard that there are people in the southeast region who grow cold melons, which is consistent with what you described, but cold melons did not come from the Western Regions, but from the country of Cheng Bu on the sea. ”

"Well, maybe, whether it's called watermelon or cold melon, it's a variety anyway, so uncle doesn't have to worry about it." Wu Yong didn't want to argue with him either.

Later generations of Chinese people have been arguing about what this watermelon came from

The "Land Silk Road" was introduced, or from

What is the significance of the introduction of the "Maritime Silk Road"? It's better to eat a few more melons. Next, Wu Yong opened the sixth small cloth bag, his eyes lit up, this is a good thing!

"This is the seed of a loofah, the fruit is cylindrical, straight or slightly curved, the surface is smooth, usually with dark longitudinal stripes, the flesh is tender when it is not ripe, but when it is ripe, the flesh is dry, and the inside is reticulated fibers, which can be used to scrub items." The loofah is an artifact, after boiling water, it can be used to wash the face, remove oil and control oil, clean thoroughly, and the face with pimples can be cleaned with the loofah, the fresh effect is better, and it can also be used as a body cleansing.

When he was a child, he used this in the countryside. However, after I came to the big city, due to my feelings, I also bought loofah pulp in the supermarket, I don't know why, it looks very white and beautiful, but it is not easy to use at all.

Wu Yong didn't expect to see the seeds of the loofah today, which gave him a surprise. He himself is a major in agriculture and forestry, and he knows that this loofah was introduced from India, but he is not sure in which era it was introduced to China.

Many experts have also proved that there is no record of loofah in the literature before the Tang Dynasty. It was spread to China in the Song Dynasty.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the loofah has spread rapidly. Thinking about these things, Wu Yong's mood became even more excited.

The seeds in the next two small cloth bags did surprise him a lot. One bag is cotton seeds, and the other bag is sugar beet seeds.

These two are things that Wu Yong dreams of, and in this ancient time when there was no industrialization, the great use of cotton is naturally unknown.

Human nature likes sweetness, but there has always been a shortage of sugar in ancient times. And sugar beet is an important raw material for sugar production, so to speak, with sugar, you can go sideways in ancient times.
