When the three farmers saw this strange yellow pimple, they couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Let's call it a fruit. It looks bumpy and has a bit of dirt on the surface. I don't know if it can be eaten.
It is said that it is a seed, but it is too big, much larger than a tree.
Hu Changan saw this and smiled slightly.
It is normal for the ancients to be at a loss when seeing this kind of tuber crop for the first time.
Hu Changan asked Wang Wu to bring a knife, carefully divided the potatoes into several pieces, and explained to the three farmers: "This thing is called potatoes."
"The yellow bump you see is both the fruit and the seed of the potato."
"It doesn't grow on trees like ordinary fruits, but grows in the soil."
"When planting, you must first cut the potatoes into small pieces, and make sure there are sprouts on each piece."
"Then dry the cut potato pieces for a day. After drying, you can bury the potato pieces in the soil and plant them."
"Remember, when planting, the sprouts must face upward. The distance between each potato piece is about half a foot to two-thirds of a foot. Then cover it with one-tenth of a foot of soil and you are done."
After Hu Changan finished cutting the first potato, he motioned for the three of them to come forward and cut the potatoes.
The three of them were indeed experienced farmers. After a while, they followed Hu Changan's instructions to cut the potatoes evenly and put them in baskets to dry.
Hu Changan was slightly relieved when he saw this.
Finally, I took the first step to growing potatoes!
These potatoes were not only related to Hu Changan's wealth and life, but also related to the granary of tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. Hu Changan had to be cautious.
"Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu, remember to take turns guarding these potatoes. Don't let these potatoes escape your sight."
"Yes!" The three of them immediately stood upright and responded in unison.
After finishing the potato, Hu Changan's heart finally fell back into his stomach, and he walked leisurely towards the "dormitory" assigned to him while carrying his bedding.
Although this palace is very simple, it occupies a large area. Hu Changan was walking and got lost inside.
Oops, I might as well have left that little eunuch to show me the way, but now it's really embarrassing. Hu Changan thought with a hint of frustration.
If he accidentally bumped into a harem empress, he wouldn't be able to explain it even if he had a long mouth.
After passing through a winding corridor, Hu Changan was about to continue walking when he suddenly heard the cry of a child from the other side of the wall.
Hu Changan curiously looked in from the crescent door on the side, and a blood-pressure-raising scene suddenly came into view.
A child in a green brocade robe actually pressed the head of another child in a white robe into the water.
When Hu Changan saw this, he was immediately furious. He quickly ran to the rockery in three steps and two steps at a time, pushed the child in green away, and rescued the child in white from the pool.
As soon as Hu Changan fished him out of the water, the kid in white coughed desperately and spat out a huge mouthful of water, which wetted his outer robe that was already stained with mud. It was so pitiful.
The kid in green clothes was pushed aside and was blinded. After a long while, he stammered and pointed at Hu Changan and said: "You...how dare you push me? Do you know who I am!"
Those who live in the palace are, of course, the princes, princes and grandsons.
But Hu Changan is not afraid either.
The place here is remote, and the two children are both four or five years old. They are probably the unpopular princes born by Zhu Yuanzhang in the past two years.
Hu Changan rolled his eyes at the kid in green and said angrily: "I know who you are, you are a murderer."
This kid in green looks to be four or five years old, and should be old enough to understand things, but who would have thought that he would act so lightly.
If Hu Changan was not here, the kid in green might have drowned the kid in white in the water.
Even if he can't drown, the child in white will inevitably suffer some psychological trauma in the future.
At this time, the child in white gradually recovered.
However, he didn't cry. He just timidly grabbed Hu Changan's clothes and apologized to the kid in green in a low voice: "Brother, please ignore him. This big brother is probably just here. He doesn't understand the rules yet. He just did it unintentionally."
I bumped into you, brother, don’t take it to heart."
What a good guy, we are actually brothers.
Looking at the proficiency, I guess the kid in white is bullied a lot.
Brothers can be so ruthless in their attacks. It is true that the emperor's family is the most ruthless.
Hu Changan let out a long sigh.
Although he didn't want to interfere with the royal family's affairs, the child in white looked really pitiful. Hu Changan couldn't bear to leave just now. He just carefully helped the child in white arrange his clothes and warned: "Next time my brother bullies you, remember
Tell the adults, do you understand?"
The child in white pursed his lips, but said nothing.
There's no point telling adults, I've already tried it myself.
Ever since his mother died in childbirth, apart from his brother, there was no one who was sincerely good to him in the huge palace.
However, his own brother has been seriously ill and has been bedridden for many days, and is about to die.
Although children don't understand, they can still glean something from adults' expressions.
The child in white couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that the only person who was good to him would leave him in the future.
When I'm alone, I can barely endure it.
But being wrapped in the warm embrace of this kind-hearted big brother, the child in white couldn't bear it any longer. He sniffed and burst into tears.
Hu Changan was also stunned.
Growing up at this age, I have no experience in caring for children. I have no idea what to do if my child cries.
Just as Hu Changan was hurriedly coaxing the child in white, bustling voices suddenly came from the corridor.
Not long after, a lady in light yellow palace attire appeared in this remote courtyard with many palace maids and eunuchs.
The woman was extremely beautiful, with fair and translucent skin that was so tender she could almost squeeze out water. There was a hint of charm in her facial features, and she was definitely not inferior to the movie stars of later generations.
When Hu Changan saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a second.
After coming back to his senses, Hu Changan hurriedly bowed and saluted, trying not to let his eyes wander to the beautiful woman's face.
So this is Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine? Sure enough, being an emperor brings great blessings.
When the child in green saw this, he seemed to have seen a savior. He rushed towards the beautiful woman, hugged the beautiful woman's thigh and cried: "Mom, it's this stranger who beat the child and pushed his brother Yunxi away without saying anything."
Into the water."
"Oh, really? Who are you? A foreigner dares to appear in the inner court and bully my Yunwen. What crime should you deserve?!" The beautiful woman hugged the child in green with a hint of anger.
Look at Hu Changan.
Hu Changan quickly put the child in white aside carefully and knelt down to salute. He couldn't help but feel surprised and doubtful in his heart.
Yunwen, Yunxi?
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi?
Aren't these the two legitimate sons of the current crown prince Zhu Biao?
