Listening to her words, Tian Zhiyu smiled and said: "So I am now studying ways to increase grain production, if it can really be realized, then it can be promoted throughout the country, and then the grain in the whole country can be greatly enriched." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, in the history of three thousand years, the output of grain is not very obvious, can you change this situation alone?" Lu Wenshu asked with some suspicion.

Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said, "I definitely can't change it alone." Increasing food production requires improvements in many aspects, such as fertilization, pest and disease control, and of course, natural disasters. It's a great project that will take many people and many generations to change. ”

"Then why are you willing to make this attempt? After all, there is only a limit to what you can change alone," Lu Wenshu said.

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "Indeed, a person's strength is limited at any time. But I happen to know the way to improve food, so I do this experiment, if it works, tell the old farmers around me, after all, they know more than me, they can grow crops better than me, after they know this method, they will improve, will spread word of mouth, so that one day this method will spread all over the world. ”

"So you're willing to spend your whole life farming for this illusory goal?"

"It's not an ethereal goal, it's a clear and firm goal, and it can definitely be achieved," Tian Zhiyu said, "and I won't do this for the rest of my life." I just need to do the experiment, and then tell the old farmers about the results and methods, and they will naturally do the next thing. ”

"Then what are you going to do next after this is done?" Lu Wenshu asked one after another.

Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it so much, I will think about the future in the future." ”

Lu Wenshu finally didn't ask again, but thought for a while and said: "People have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries." ”

Tian Zhiyu smiled and said: "There are long-term worries and near-term worries, people are animals who worry about them, and there will always be things in their hearts that they can't let go." ”

"How can a human being be an animal?" Lu Wenshu asked with a frown.

When Tian Zhiyu heard her question, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Actually, in essence, people are animals. ”

Lu Wenshu was still puzzled, but she saw Tian Zhiyu get up and walk towards the bottles and cans on the table, she was also very curious, and followed over.

She saw Tian Zhiyu open one of the sealed cans and pour the contents into a large bowl, which seemed to be the liquor she had just drunk, but there were a lot of residues in it.

"What is this?" Lu Wenshu couldn't help but ask curiously.

Tian Zhiyu picked up the bowl and said to Lu Wenshu: "Let's go, follow me to the greenhouse and have a look." ”

Lu Wenshu followed Tian Zhiyu to his greenhouse, and when he saw the steel pipes erected, he became even more curious, and asked, "Is this what you make spirits?"

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "Yes, but this is not important, let's use the things in the bowl next." ”

Lu Wenshu watched as he poured the clear part of the bowl into another bowl first, and then put this bowl on a very small stove. This stove has a lid on it and a round hole in the lid, and the bowl just covers the round hole so that it doesn't fall down.

Lu Wenshu didn't speak, and watched him light the fire in the stove, and when the temperature of the fire came up, the spirits in the bowl slowly volatilized after a while, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of wine.

She went in to take a closer look, and saw that although the wine was gone, there was a puddle of reddish-brown stuff left in the bowl.

"How can there be anything left in this bowl? shouldn't it all be volatile?" Lu Wenshu asked.

Tian Zhiyu picked up the bowl with a piece of cloth, carefully examined the little residue in the bowl, and said, "The liquor just now was not pure, and some things were dissolved in it, and when the liquor was volatilized, these things were left in the bowl." That's what I need. ”

"What is this thing for?" Lu Wenshu then asked.

Tian Zhiyu put the bowl on the table and said softly: "It's not easy to explain to you in a few words now, when my experiment is completely done, I can teach you a lesson and explain it slowly." ”

When Lu Wenshu heard his words, his mood was a little complicated for a while, and he said, "Then when will your experiment be completed?"

Tian Zhiyu said while collecting the residue at the bottom of the bowl: "This thing may be collected and dissolved in two or three days, but its effect may not come out for a while, and it will be autumn at the earliest." ”

Lu Wenshu said with some dissatisfaction: "But I can't stay in Yuhang until autumn." ”

Tian Zhiyu thought about it for a while, and asked, "Then when will you meet your family?"

Lu Wenshu thought for a while and said, "I originally planned to leave after the Qingming Festival, and Sister Nan wanted me to accompany her more, so I might stay until the end of March." ”

"Nuan Yue said that you all have to go to Qilin Island during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you stay until that time and go together?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

Lu Wenshu glanced at him and said, "Then there is still half a year, big brother, I can't live here for half a year, right?"

Tian Zhiyu just raised his head, saw her infinite amorous glance, and thought, if this little girl is not always serious, she is actually very attractive and cute.

He smiled and said, "I forgot, it's really going to be a long time, then when the time comes, will you come to Yuhang to find Feng Jingnan first, and then go together?" Or go directly by yourself." ”

Lu Wenshu said: "In July, we will first go to Lingnan Road, go to Uncle Zhang's house, and meet there." Their home is very close to Kirin Island, and they can get there in three days by boat. ”

Tian Zhiyu thought that this Uncle Zhang should be the current Yuguo Gong Zhang Xun, he is the elder brother of Zhang Shuo, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Zhang Bin's father.

These four families are indeed connected by the same roots, and not only the older generation is close, but the next generation also has frequent interactions.

Lu Wenshu looked at him for a moment of contemplation and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Tian Zhiyu said: "When you talk about Lingnan Dao, I think of the two eldest brothers, Zhang Bin and Wu Xiujing, who helped me a lot when I was in Cloud City. ”

Lu Wenshu smiled and said: "That's because you are kind to Brother Feng, the relationship between the three of them is so good, they are all like brothers." ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded, then lowered his head and continued his operation.

Lu Wenshu watched him carefully crush the reddish-brown residue again, then put them on a flat-bottomed plate, and then put the plate on the stove to roast slowly, and finally those residues became powder-like things.

"Are you making so many spirits just to make this thing?" Lu Wenshu asked.

Tian Zhiyu nodded.

"Actually," Lu Wenshu thought for a while before saying, "If you open a big workshop dedicated to making spirits, you can also make a lot of money." ”

Tian Zhiyu raised his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "I know, but I'm not very interested in this, I have already told a young couple about the method of making spirits, they opened a wine-making workshop, and these rice wines of mine are bought from their house." ”

Lu Wenshu looked at him incredulously and said, "You just told others about this idea that can make a lot of money?"

Tian Zhiyu was busy putting away the powder carefully, and said, "Yes, in fact, this is not a great idea, I also learned it from others." After telling others, they can make spirits on a large scale, and it won't be long before more workshops will follow, and slowly spirits will be available all over the country. ”

Seeing that he didn't care, Lu Wenshu felt even more incredible, and said, "Why don't you seem to be interested in making money?

"Actually, I'm very interested in making money," Tian Zhiyu said, "but not in winemaking." If I want to make money, I have more ideas. ”

"For example?"

Tian Zhiyu looked at her and said with a smile: "I can make a very good-smelling rouge gouache to ensure that all girls like it." I can also make a wine that tastes better and sells far better than spirits. I can even work with a miracle doctor to develop one or two drugs that work amazingly, and these are both ideas that can make money. ”

If Tian Zhiyu had said these words before, Lu Wenshu would definitely not believe it. But now that he saw his ability to brew spirits, Lu Wenshu had to face up to every word he said.

"Then why don't you do it? You have so many ideas, you can create a lot of wealth by doing anything," Lu Wenshu said.

Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said: "It's not the time yet, I will find a way to study these things, but not now." ”

"When was that?"

"When I'm really free," Tian Zhiyu sighed, "I'm really busy now." ”

Lu Wenshu didn't understand his idea very well, he could make a lot of money, but he didn't do it, but indulged in the way of farming.

"You're really a mystery, no wonder Sister Nuanyue fell into such a deep position," Lu Wenshu said.

Tian Zhiyu originally wanted to say, you are so curious about me, will you fall into it one day, but he hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say anything.

Next, Tian Zhiyu was busy extracting his colchicine, and Lu Wenshu didn't have so many problems, just standing beside him and watching him busy. When Tian Zhiyu collected all the colchicine powder and put it all in a bottle, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Lu Wenshu looked at his satisfied expression and asked, "Is this thing for the sake of cultivating the big and sweet watermelons and grapes you said?"

Tian Zhiyu nodded, thought about it, and said, "Maybe you will also be able to cultivate seedless watermelons, are you quite excited to think about it?"

"What do I have to be excited about what you cultivated for Sister Nuanyue?" Lu Wenshu said.

"You can't say that, if you look far, it should be cultivated for the whole world," Tian Zhiyu said with a smile.

Lu Wenshuyao's nose wrinkled slightly, and said, "Then this seedless watermelon, is there really no watermelon seeds? That's amazing." ”

Tian Zhiyu said: "It's not completely nothing, it's just that those black and big seeds will turn into small, white seeds, which will not affect eating." ”

After Tian Zhiyu finished the experiment, he suddenly found that his greenhouse lacked a sink and water pipe for cleaning equipment, and there was no well, he thought that this was also a problem, and he had to let someone dig a well tomorrow, otherwise there would be a lot of inconvenience in doing the experiment.

"But you also said that this watermelon and grapes are ripe, and I don't know what year and month, who knows when I can eat them," Lu Wenshu said.

Tian Zhiyu thought that if everything went well, watermelon seedlings and grape seedlings should be able to grow before the end of the month, so he said: "Although I don't know when the grapes and watermelons will be eaten, they should be able to grow seedlings before the end of the month." When you go to Jiannan Road, you can bring a few pots with you, and when you go home, you can cultivate them carefully, and maybe you can also bear fruit. ”

"Really, I can grow it myself?" Lu Wenshu said happily.

Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said: "It's not you who planted it, I'm responsible for planting it, and the seedlings are given to you, and after you go home, you can cultivate them according to ordinary watermelons, and maybe you can also produce big and sweet watermelons." ”

"Could it be seedless?"

Tian Zhiyu shook his head again and said: "I'm afraid this is not possible for the time being, seedless watermelons still have to wait for the first batch of big watermelons to bear fruit, and wait for the second batch to be cultivated." ”

Lu Wenshu was a little disappointed, but he was still a little happy to be able to cultivate a big watermelon by himself.

Tian Zhiyu looked at her with a coquettish smile on her face, and thought, in fact, you are still a little girl, don't always be so serious, if you are as stupid as Feng Jingnan, you are actually very cute.

Seeing him looking at him, Lu Wenshu couldn't help but feel a little shy, and said, "Why do you look at me like that?"

Tian Zhiyu hurriedly retracted his gaze and said, "It's okay, let's hurry back to the wooden house, those little drunkards should also wake up." ”
