farming female castellan

The county lieutenant said: "If you are willing to eat potatoes and grow potatoes, you can buy some and plant them in a row. One row is enough for the family to eat for a while."

"How much is a catty?" Someone asked the price impatiently.

The county lieutenant said: "This new crop has high upfront costs, and it is not as convenient as sweet potatoes. You can just plant roots and vines, so the price is a little more expensive than sweet potatoes, five yuan a catty."

Five cents?Sounds more expensive than sweet potatoes, but acceptable.Many people began to buy by catty and catty.

"I'll buy it first and eat it at home. When I want to plant it, the county government will definitely plant another batch." Someone decided to enjoy it first.

"I'll also buy some vegetables to eat first. The county has reclaimed so much wasteland, maybe the county government will plant [-] mu. Then I will learn how to plant."

The county government reminded everyone: "Don't buy too much at once. Potatoes will germinate if they are left there for a long time. Germinated potatoes are poisonous, which can cause abdominal pain in mild cases and death in severe cases."

"Thank you for the reminder, but I have a large family, and I can only cook a pot for a meal with a few catties."

The county lieutenant also said: "This mu of official land is relatively fertile, and the potato yield is estimated to be relatively high. If the land is not fertile, it may only be two to three thousand catties; of course, if the land is fertile and experienced in farming, it is possible to exceed 4000 catties. "

"Two or three thousand catties is not bad!" Someone shouted.

"Finally can fill the stomach."

The on-site sales of potatoes are booming, with more than 1000 catties sold.

The county magistrate asked, "How should the potato planting be reported?"

Chen Fan said: "Bring some potatoes to Zhoucheng, and write down the planting process and methods in detail. The governor will report to the capital." In addition, she will send some to the capital.

The remaining potatoes in the field will soon be dug up and sent to the county.

At noon the next day, everyone in the county government ate delicious potato stew, hot and sour potato shreds, and fried potato cakes, and each was given five catties of potatoes.

Chen Fan brought Zhang Ci into the space.

"The medicinal materials are growing better." Zhang Ci sighed, "When these potatoes are harvested, I will have to stay away for a long time."

"There's nothing wrong here." Chen Fan smiled.After she is pregnant, she doesn't want to come in frequently, after all, the time here is different from that outside.After the baby is born, it will take a while to come in.

The soil here is very loose, and Zhangci can pull out a bunch of potatoes with a light pull.He soon received an acre of potatoes, packed them into sacks, and followed Chen Fan out.

"Actually, you can also let me plant a few acres on the farm earlier, so that I can store more. There are in the north, and we plant them here. It's a normal thing."

Chen Fan smiled: "Now the effect of one mu is already very good. A little more will be sent over from the capital, so that they can't stop eating, and they can't stop eating. They can't wait until next year."

"So Madam is so cruel?" Zhang Ci stroked her belly: "The baby is about to be born, I'm a little nervous."

"Why nervous?" He also has prenatal syndrome?
"It's risky to have a baby, and you're pregnant with twins, so it's even more dangerous. The family members are not here, and there is only one nun and two maids who take care of them personally." Zhang Ci didn't dare to express his worries too much.

"I am also nervous, afraid of pain, and afraid of being in danger." Chen Fan is not only nervous, but also afraid. The medical conditions in this era are far inferior to those in his hometown.

"My mother came over when we got married. I really want her to come when you have a baby. But my father is not at home. Once she goes out, it will be difficult for the family to cope with the situation in the capital."

Mrs. Feng did not come to Yuanshuo County, but a delivery team came from the capital.

"I've seen Madam, I've seen Master." Everyone saluted together, and Chen Fan and Zhang Ci looked at them in surprise.

"Fang Changqing, old man, is a doctor and has more experience in childbirth." An old doctor in his 50s said.

"Chang Lin, the maidservant, is Doctor Fang's wife and a steady wife. She can also help cook some meals for pregnant women."

The other four maids said in unison: "Madam please give me your name."

Chen Fan named them Chunping, Xiaman, Qiuxu and Dongyang.

Chang Lin said: "The old lady didn't arrange for a nanny to come with her. The child is born, so let's find a nanny for my wife from this county."

Chen Fan nodded: "You can look for the nanny first, but don't rush to contact me. If I have enough milk, I can feed it myself for a month or two. If I don't have enough milk, I'll go find a nanny."

She looked at Fang Changqing again: "Does Doctor Fang plan to open a clinic here?"

Doctor Fang replied: "I came to Yuanshuo County because I intend to stay here for a long time. I am willing to open a clinic, but my wife is the first priority."

Chen Fan nodded: "You can go to the store first and make preparations for the early stage. Chang's can also make a living."

Everyone lived in the courtyard, and the division of labor in various affairs in the mansion became more detailed.

The official report of the governor of Xiangzhou was rushed to the capital.The emperor looked at the report and remained silent for a long time.

When this matter was discussed in the court, the ministers also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Why Chen Fan again?

In the past, Changping Township was always mentioned, but now Yuanshuo County is always mentioned.

Potatoes have been discovered in the north for several years, and they have not caused a sensation, nor have they been popularized on a large scale. Why can Chen Fan grow a yield of several thousand catties?Can you come up with all kinds of delicious dishes?

Taifu said: "It's the same as reading and writing articles. Some people are just talented."

He Zhongsheng retorted: "Why did she promote sweet potatoes and potatoes differently? It's as if she already knew how to grow and eat these two things."

Tai Fu didn't even look at him: "Maybe she tried many methods, but she just found that sweet potatoes are not suitable for stew but for porridge. Isn't sweet potato cake and potato cake all edible? Aren't roasted sweet potatoes and baked potatoes both delicious?" ?"

He Zhongsheng was dissatisfied: "Then why is she always leading the trend?"

"You are not forbidden to lead the trend, why don't you do it? You can't do it, so you doubt others?"

He Zhongsheng couldn't beat the Grand Tutor, so he shifted his firepower: "I didn't hear that Mr. Chen gave some potatoes as a tribute to the Holy Master."

The Tai Tuo remained silent, but the emperor said, "The governor of Xiangzhou's report and the potatoes were delivered by horses. If Mr. Chen wants to deliver the potatoes, he must be slower."

Chen Fan not only wanted to give some to the palace, but also to the crown prince, Chen family, Feng family and Yan family, and the household ministers who were not officially married might also receive a copy.

He Zhongsheng changed direction again: "I planted one acre this year. If we want to promote it, at least we have to wait until next year to plant a few acres, which is enough."

The Minister of the Household Department said: "Master Chen is doing things, is Mr. He still not at ease? One crop of spring potatoes and one crop of autumn potatoes can plant tens of thousands of mu in two years. By the third year, it can be popularized in several counties. "

He Zhongsheng said: "Speaking of which, the captain who found Tudou was from the Liu family, the Liu family, Chen Fan and distant relatives. Why such a coincidence?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of War became impatient: "It's been a few years since you discovered the potatoes. Why didn't you mention them when you rewarded the captain's mansion? After so many years, you found them again, causing people to quarrel?"

He Zhongsheng sneered: "Then why is it such a coincidence?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War became even more impatient: "Who knows about coincidences? Some people give birth to several births that are sons, and some people give birth to several births that are daughters. How do you explain this? Some people go out to collect money and others go out to wrestle. How do you explain this? Maybe the Liu family of the Chen family has been favored by heaven in the past few years." Putting together things that are irrelevant, the reason seems to be similar.

Tai Tu changed the topic: "Master Chen is probably about to give birth."
