Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 367 The best explanation
The afternoon sun was warm, Ding Shitou helped Zhao Jian to walk around the wall, and even went to the east vegetable field.

"This is corn on the cob. After peeling off the shell, throw it into the water and boil it for half an hour, then eat it with your hand." Ding Shishitou helped Zhao Jian's hand to pick a corn.

"It's very heavy, can it only be eaten by cooking?" Zhao Jian touched the corn, tossed it in his hand for fun, and asked with a smile, "I remember what you said about corn flour."

"Well, old corn flour can be eaten the same as wheat flour, or it can be eaten alone, for making pasta or something." Ding Shitou said while leading the way, walking in the ditch of the vegetable bed.

"This year the main purpose is to save seeds. Next year, when I have land, I will plant a large piece of land and then sell it in the city. There are also sweet potatoes in this field, which we have not planted in the Ming Dynasty. I will be the first one. "

"No one?" Zhao Jian suddenly stopped and looked ahead in surprise. Ding Shitou was three steps away.

"Well, haven't I said it before? I met a businessman from outside the region, maybe he came by boat. I helped him and gave him seeds as a reward."

Anyway, Zheng He has gone to the West, and it is the best explanation for why it is so strange that a businessman from overseas brought some rare things.

"At that time, it was cold and could be stored for a long time. This year I had the opportunity to try to plant it. I didn't expect it to survive. I even distributed a lot to the villagers for planting."

"This is a good thing. It is easy to grow and has a high yield. The poor can not only sell it for money, but also use it as food, so they can live through the winter without worry."

Ding Shitou came over and pulled Zhao Jian forward, telling him how big the land was, how many sweet potatoes it could produce, and how much the interplanted and corner corn could harvest.

"When will the seeds be saved? When will they be planted?" Zhao Jian listened carefully and had his own plans in mind.

"The corn is coming soon, and the sweet potato will be two months later. When it's cold, it's almost ready. Isn't it good to store winter grain when you dig it out?"

Ding Shitou didn't know Zhao Jian's plans, and happily talked about her proud results.

While talking, he had reached the end of the fence, and turned to the backyard again, preparing to walk around the house before coming back, showing off again when he passed peppers and pumpkins.

"I want to keep the seeds this year, right? When the time comes, you can give me some of the seeds. I have a farm under my name. I can try to see it. Can I plant it in the north?"

"Of course, you can just take half of it." Ding Shitou agreed nonchalantly.

Zhao Jian was very happy. He didn't expect that there were so many kinds. He hadn't heard of them, but it's not surprising that he hadn't heard of them in his rich life. Maybe there were kinds in other places?
But Shitou no longer fooled him with nonsense like he did at the beginning. Perhaps these crops were really rare. If he could grow them in large quantities, it would be good for Beiping, the court, and the world.

When the time came, his father, Long Yan, would be delighted, so he took the opportunity to ask for a reward for Shi Shi, making Shi Shi the mistress of Zhao Wangfu.

only……

Sigh, let's talk about it when he can go back. Now that he has to hide and live in such a grievance, it's a bit early to make this calculation.

"Aren't you tired? Let's go back to the house." Ding Shitou talked about his grand plan with great interest, but suddenly found that Zhao Jian was a little silent, and quickly helped him go around the west side and go back to the house.

Zhao Jian traveled far away for three months, and came directly to her place just after returning last night. She didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and was so noisy that she couldn't sleep in the morning. Naturally, she needed a good rest.

It's just that when she was angry at first, she asked him where he went, and if he didn't tell, she wouldn't ask again.

Who doesn't have a secret?
