Chapter 54 Practice is the only criterion for testing truth
A spring banquet, a glass of green wine is singed.
Although the current season is no longer spring and everyone sang, Chen Yuan still fell asleep in a daze under the warm sun.
Li Er was also a little dizzy and wanted to go to bed.
But although Chen Yuan was not very clear about some of the things he said, he also made him extremely clear.
In addition, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and the method of cultivating seedlings that benefited a lot of people, made him excited and his brain cells active, and he wanted to go back to experiment and promote immediately.
Therefore, after a few simple instructions, he took the people away in a hurry.
On this side, the two pretty maids helped Chen Yuan back to the room, first took off his coat, shoes and socks, and then fed warm water to wash his face, wipe his body, and wash his feet.
After finishing, wiped the sweat on his forehead, Zheng Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Li'er, stay, take care of your husband, take a nap, don't sleep too hard."
"Where are you, Sister Yan?"
"There are so many things outside, I have to watch it!" Zheng Yan laughed, and after saying that, he covered the door and left the room.
Jiang Li yawned, took a small stool, sat down on the edge of the collapse, held his cheek with both hands, and watched quietly, his long eyelashes flashed, and a sweet smile appeared on his pretty cheeks.
I don’t know what I remembered, but at some point, my little face suddenly turned red again, like clouds in the sky in the evening.
Then, my heart was like a deer bumping, I closed my eyes, leaned forward slightly, my lips opened, and I blew it, twice...
So sweet.
It seems to have seized the whole summer.
...
On the official road, horses gallop.
Li Er was so excited that he returned to the palace. As soon as he ordered people to find tools and dig up a flowerbed in Lizheng Hall, a very good-looking flower garden.
Empress Changsun rushed over when she heard the news and rolled her eyes in anger: "Look at your father, you're crazy again, the flowers and plants are digging so hard."
Changle covered his mouth and chuckled: "After that being said, I have looked much more cheerful these days, and I rarely look sad."
"That's true." Thinking that my husband has become much cheerful these days, he often smiles on his face, spending more time with him and his children, and occasionally cooking so-called food in person, Queen Changsun couldn't help laughing out loud.
Li Er turned his head and saw it, so he stopped and straightened his waist, put his hands on his hips and held his hoe with one hand: "Here is here? Come and see the treasure I found today."
In fact, you don’t have to think about it and know that you must have discovered something good, otherwise it would not have been like this.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and walked forward.
Li Er took a sweet potato and grinned, "See, sweet potatoes are edible, very sweet. Chen Yuan said that the yield per mu is twenty or thirty stones, and it is well managed, forty or fifty stones will not be a problem."
"Really or not?"
"Twenty or thirty stones, forty or fifty stones, dad, are you right?"
I don’t know if I don’t listen, I’m shocked when I hear it.
The main reason is that it is too incredible. No matter how good the corn is, the yield per mu is only more than three stones. It can be 20 to 30 stones or 45 stones, and it sounds like talking in a sleep.
Therefore, the mother and daughter now have a round mouth, their eyes wide open, and their faces are full of surprise, almost the same.
Li Er smiled and said, "I don't know if it's really not true. Anyway, that guy said that in his hometown, there are so many things to feed pigs, but I have tasted it, it's really delicious, fragrant and sweet."
"But even so, this is too little, right?" Empress Changsun frowned.
It is fake to say that you are unhappy. After all, there is no need for Chen Yuan to lie about this kind of thing.
But, what can these four do?
When will it take to plant acre of land?
Changle said, "Dad, are there very few sweet potatoes? Otherwise, why are there only four?"
Li Er sighed: "Isn't it just a minority? If you guess correctly, this should be a species from overseas. After a ship crash, he came to Chang'an City by chance. He happened to be discovered by that guy and got a bargain."
After a pause, he said angrily: "There are only ten such strange things in total. The fields are so good that they are not a son of humanity. They cook two to eat!"
Field house, cursing words.
Translated, it is just mud legs and smelly farmers.
Empress Changsun smiled: "Will Erlang eat it too?"
"That's right, if Dad didn't eat it, how could he know it was fragrant and sweet?" Changle couldn't help laughing, and his voice was like a silver bell.
Li Er smiled again: "Don't I know that? If I had known it before, I would have to cut him off. I would know how to eat!"
After saying that, he sighed again: "What a pity, this sweet potato is not like a potato. Because it is prone to rot, it cannot be cut into pieces. It can only be planted as a whole. Otherwise, some can be cut off so that you two can also taste the taste."
"Potato?"
"Well, it's the beans in the soil, and the two are next to it. But when sprouting, they are poisonous and cannot be eaten.
It is said that it is also very high-yield, with a yield of 10 or 20 stones per mu, and it can be planted anywhere."
Li Er started hoeing again, and said while hoeing: "But you don't have to wait too long. That guy said, "As long as you grow vines, cut off the vines one by one, and then transplant them into the ground, it will be a sweet potato seedling."
The rising sweet potato vines can be cut and planted again. In this way, although there are only four sweet potatoes, they will be fully planted here soon."
He paused and said, "The same is true for potatoes. Although they cannot be cut into vines, they can be cut into pieces. If they are planted well, these two may be able to collect one stone."
"Just two, one stone?"
The mother and daughter were immediately scared again, instinctively unable to believe it.
When he came to his senses, he ordered someone to carry a hanging chair, and then Empress Changsun sat and rested and basked in the sun, while Changle started to work.
Good seeds of sweet potatoes.
Organize the ground, sprinkle some flower fertilizer, then lay it flat and buried it, water it, and cover it with a layer of soil.
Potatoes are relatively troublesome. You need to cut them into pieces, cut them into pieces and then use lime water, clean water, and then mix them with wood ash and dry them.
Drill it, then put it in a pot, cover it with wet mud and sand to germinate.
In order to grow better and obtain seedlings as soon as possible, greenhouses must be built with fabric, straw mats, etc.
In addition to these two things, we also put the foundation soil into the soil bowl and try the seedling cultivation methods we learned today.
The breeding includes loofah, eggplant, cucumber, lettuce, etc. Some have always been local, while others were introduced to the Central Plains from the outside world.
I'm busy until it's almost dark.
After dinner, after drinking tea, he stayed with his wife and children for a while, and returned to the Ganlu Hall. In the imperial study, the candle was lit, and Li Er picked up his pen and began to write the breeding method.
Initially, this method was to first check the effect and then decide whether to promote it.
But after practice and thinking, he felt that this little girl didn't have to wait at all.
Because it is obvious that children will not die easily until they are three or four years old.
Of course, it is unrealistic to just promote it like this.
After all, he is not professional in this regard, and he may not be able to consider many things.
