Chapter 384 The Seed Has Arrived
When the sun was almost setting at Gu Wanning's village in the suburbs of Beijing, Gu Wanning finally waited for a carriage full of goods.

The carriages were indeed filled with seeds that had never appeared in Daxing. At first, they thought that there was only one rare seed, or that the number of seeds was not many, but when those carriages were all opened, Gu Wan was still surprised.

Because these seeds add up to nearly ten thousand catties.

"Master, what is this round lump? Why is it still sprouting? Can this still be used as a seed?"

"And these, the buds are an inch long, so they must be broken."

Gu Wanning looked at the two crops that Chunlan and Qiuju were pointing at, with a look of excitement flashing in her eyes, "No, it is because they have sprouts that they are good things. If you read correctly, these two crops are the ones that the master once said Old sweet potatoes and potatoes! Come on, sort out all the sprouted potatoes first, and gather all the people in the village, and then build a greenhouse."

All the seeds on the car were moved into a temporary warehouse. She looked at it and found that the potatoes weighed about three thousand catties, and only one third of them had sprouted.

There are also sweet potatoes, weighing about 4000 catties, and there are also small sprouts on the sweet potatoes.

The captain of the caravan explained: "Originally we bought [-] catties of these crops, but we lost some of the sweet potatoes and potatoes after drifting on the boat for several months, and two boats sank when encountering wind and waves. Pity."

Fortunately, the crew was rescued by them in a hurry, otherwise they would have suffered a lot when they went to sea this time.

Gu Wanning remembers that the master said that the method of planting sweet potatoes is different from that of potatoes. To cultivate sweet potatoes, you must first pick strong and unscarred sweet potato roots for cultivation.

Potatoes are directly planted with sprouted tubers, and their growth temperature is lower, that is to say, potatoes can grow under the current temperature, and the growth cycle of potatoes is much shorter than that of sweet potatoes. You can plant a crop of buds.

The most important thing is that in addition to these two kinds, there is also a whole warehouse of yellow seeds.

Qiuju stood in front of those seeds without saying a word for a long time, Chunlan walked over and patted her: "What do you want to say?"

"This seems to be rice, but it's different from rice." The grains are too big and still yellow.

The leader of the caravan said: "Before we set off, the owner drew a picture for us, and there was this kind of thing in the picture. The owner called it corn. The owner said that corn can produce a thousand catties per mu, and it is a good staple food.

There are also those sweet potatoes and potatoes whose output can reach several thousand catties. I heard this from the owner, and the big nose also said the same. "

"Then, have you ever asked how these crops are grown?" Chunlan asked.

"I asked, but it's a little different from what the owner said. The owner said that after these sweet potatoes grow seedlings and plant them in the ground, they can grow long, long sweet potato vines, and the sweet potato vines can also be cut off and continued to be planted. Will affect the yield of sweet potatoes.

At the beginning, the boss told us to look for sweet potatoes and potatoes, saying that they could yield three to five thousand catties per mu, but we didn’t believe it. How could there be such a high-yielding crop, but this time we went to sea, we didn’t expect to find them. "

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the village opened their mouths in shock: "The yield per mu is three to five thousand catties? How can there be such a high yield of grain in the world?"

They didn't doubt it for the sake of doubt, but the power of this sentence was too great. The common people worked hard year after year in the fields, just to eat and clothe themselves, but even if the Daxing Dynasty was so prosperous, there was still some A large part of them are not full to eat, it can only be said that most of them are not hungry.

But if there is a kind of food that can produce three to five thousand catties per mu, it can at least solve the problem of food and clothing for most people.

Many tenants said excitedly: "Didn't the boss tell you to pick out those germinated potatoes? Everyone, hurry up."

The steward of the Zhuangzi was excited and curious: "Can these potatoes grow in winter?"

"Give it a try. Anyway, these potatoes have grown sprouts. Is there any spare space on the farm?"

The steward said: "The area to the north of Zhuangzi, near the corner of the mountain, is still vacant because it is not suitable for growing wheat."

Gu Wanning said: "Then free up that side, build a greenhouse, and try it from the ground over there. Then make some boxes one foot high and two feet wide, let the sweet potatoes germinate in these boxes, and then transplant them into warm In the shed, some of them will continue to be raised in boxes to see which one grows faster and better."

As soon as her words came out, everyone became busy.

She took out a silver ticket from her body and handed it to shopkeeper Zhu, asking him to take the caravan into the city to have a good meal, then changed into clothes that were convenient for work, and started picking potatoes.

"Be careful, don't damage the sprouts on it. Chunlan will get a knife. These sprouts need to be cut off."

Chunlan has never seen the planting method of cutting the seeds, and she was very hesitant to listen to her master's instructions.

"Go, why are you standing there stupidly? Don't worry, the master said it very clearly at the time, and she also wrote down some crop planting methods. If you don't believe me, you can go back and look for it. It's in the master's study."

After they returned to Beijing, the master also went back to Beijing. The master has a place to live in the capital, and all her things are in the house of Xiaosanjin.

Chunlan: ...That doesn't need to be so troublesome. She still trusts the master's memory.

"Master has a photographic memory. If you said you saw the old master, you must have said it and written it. No slave or servant will believe it."

After that, she hurried to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife for the master.

The stewards of the Zhuangzi have assigned some people to clean up the land at the foot of the mountain. The women of the Zhuangzi follow the owner to pick and cut potatoes. Several thousand catties of potatoes seem to be a lot, but there are many people and strength. It's almost done.

Because Gu Wanning left a message before coming to Zhuangzi, Ye Hanyu changed her clothes after returning home and chased Zhuangzi.

At this time, the fire was brightly lit in Zhuangzi, and all the people in the yard were busy working. When they saw a carriage parked at the door, someone immediately welcomed Ye Hanyu in.

"My lord, the princess is watching the servants making wooden boxes. Should you go back to the backyard to rest or go to the princess."

Ye Hanyu: "Take me to see the box you are making."

The servants hurriedly ushered him into the wooden room that had just been cleared out. As soon as he entered, Ye Hanyu saw the little princess sitting in a corner watching the craftsmen at work, "Do you still need a princess to watch over here?"

Gu Wanning smiled and stood up, "Of course you don't need it, I just have nothing to do.

Why did the prince come to Zhuangzi?Haven't had dinner yet?It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, so let's go eat first. "
