Chapter 138 Curiosity killed the cat(1/2)
Wang Zhen is worthy of being a master of agricultural science. His method of dealing with potato sprouts is actually very close to the planting methods in later generations.
The potatoes are first mixed with wood ash, and the cut and surface are covered with a thin layer of ash to prevent rot.
Moreover, the old man also said that wood ash is also fertilizer, and it will grow better after planting buds and landing.
After mixing, the old man did not let the seeds plant immediately in the ground, but placed them in a house with light and non-ventilated light, and sprinkled water into the house every once in a while to increase humidity.
After only three or five days, the seedling buds sprouted in the wet and hot house. After a few more days, the green buds were about an inch long.
After Wang Zhen came to see it, he waved his hand and said, "You can go down the ground!"
Looking at the little buds, the old man's eyes were full of gentleness.
To be honest, he really wanted to see what this kind of crop that he had never seen before would look like and what would the harvest be? It is easy to make a detailed record and include it in his "Book of Farmers".
What a pity, he is leaving!
Zhao Wei saw all this, but he was silent.
Half a month later, when the king was approaching, the potato seedlings everywhere in Diaoyu City had grown to about half a foot tall.
The rotten seedlings and dormant conditions I encountered before were indeed completely solved.
Wang Zhen completed the task successfully.
After the last time I went down to the city for inspection, the old man finally came to the backyard of the coach's mansion to look for Zhao Wei.
It's time for him to leave, if Ning Wang said so, he believed it.
As a result, after the soldiers reported it, Zhao Wei readily invited him into the yard.
The old man saw Ning Wangzheng, Zhao Mengxi, Ma Xiaoyi and others sitting around the pavilion in a corner of the courtyard, chatting around the table.
There were dried fruits on the table, and there was a small stove next to it, with something baked on it.
When Wang Zhen entered the pavilion, his mind was on whether Zhao Wei would let him go.
He didn't say hello to everyone, let alone talk nonsense, "Your Highness is the right thing for you to fulfill your promise."
"Ah?" Zhao Wei was stunned and looked at Wang Zhen, "Oh!! Yes, we agreed to let the gentleman go after getting the potatoes."
Wang Zhen was a little nervous, not at all like the way he was fighting with Zhao Wei in the local area that day, "Then... can your highness..."
Zhao Wei was embarrassed, "Sir... Can you not leave? I really need a talent like Mr.."
Wang Zhen shook his head without hesitation, "You can't leave!" He was determined to leave, "I hope Your Highness will fulfill his promise."
Zhao Wei gradually turned cold, "Then what if I don't let you go!"
Wang Zhen: "Then I have no choice but to die to resist Your Highness."
"Oh!!" Zhao Wei sighed, "Why do you have to? Can't you stay for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Diaoyu City?"
Wang Zhen was very determined, "I can't obey my duty!"
"Okay!" Zhao Wei finally sighed, "How can I bear to die here by the gentleman? If you want to leave, then... let's go!"
After saying that, he made a gesture of asking for help and turned his head aside, which was obviously extremely painful.
"From now on, you can walk whenever you want. Diaoyu City can lay a plank road for you."
"And..." As he spoke, he lifted a small cloth bag from the table, which contained a bag of gold cakes. "These gentlemen took it all as travel expenses."
"When will you leave, support me. I will send someone to Chongqing or leave Jiange, it's okay."
Wang Zhen was a little moved and pushed the gold back, "I won't need silver and money. I'm really sorry to Your Highness."
Zhao Wei refused to act and forced himself into his hands, "This is what the sir deserves, and it is my wish. Please accept it!"
Wang Zhen refused to accept it. Seeing that Zhao Wei refused, he simply threw the gold on the table.
However, the old man was stunned for a moment, "This is..." his eyes stared at the things on the table without blinking.
The whole person seemed to have changed, and he was still not moving for a long time. His face turned from shock to dull, from dull to sunny.
There were dried fruits, nuts and other snacks on it, and some seeds were scattered... These things were simply an insult to him, Wang Zhen.
Yes, yes, it's an insult!
Because he claims to have seen all the grains in the world, he actually... he doesn't even know him either.
"These are..." Wang Zhen asked in a daze.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Wei seemed to have reacted immediately and quickly blocked between Wang Zhen and the table.
"Sir, go back quickly and prepare your luggage. I won't give it to you!"
"No..." Zhao Wei blocked his sight, making Wang Zhen even more itchy, "No, I just want to ask..."
"What are you asking?" Zhao Wei said nervously, "You can't ask."
Wang Zhen couldn't stand it anymore. Since he didn't ask, why did you show me on the table?
He moved his eyes from side to side, and his eyes were always on the table. "Is it okay if I don't know anything? I'll ask, what are these?"
Zhao Wei simply put his arms around, "That won't work! This is the top secret of my Diaoyu City. How can I get the gentleman to bring back to Yuandi?"
Wang Zhen was anxious, "I'll just take a look, don't ask! Is that okay?"
The roar shook the sky, which scared Zhao Wei trembled, and the blocking momentum could not help but slow down.
Wang Zhen took the opportunity to push Zhao Wei away, but he didn't know where the old man got so much force, so he pushed Zhao Wei away.
He rushed to the table, his eyes as if he saw a new wife.
"What are these?" Wang Zhen said excitedly, his heart burning.
I really don't know each other.
However, I said everything I said, and I just looked at it and didn't ask.
Now, I have too much time to regret it, so I can only look at Zhao Wei pitifully and pray to His Highness Ning to be kind!
Even Zhao Mengxi, Ma Xiaoyi and the others couldn't stand it anymore, and they looked at Zhao Wei. It means, let's see if the old man is anxious, can you take it as a human being?
Under such a look, Zhao Wei could only compromise.
"I've agreed to only talk about the name. I won't ask more questions first!"
"Sir, I should also think about this king. These are all my magic weapons in Diaoyu City. From Fusang... no, no, no, no, no, I collected from the Song people, which is a living thing."
When Wang Zhen heard this, Zhao Weiken said, nodding like pounding garlic, "Okay, okay, just say the name, I will never ask more questions!"
"Okay!" Zhao Wei pointed at the table as if he had suffered a great loss, "What about this..."
"This is called popcorn."
"Popcorn?"
Wang Zhen was a little confused, and the first one couldn't help but ask again, "What kind of flower is popcorn?"
Zhao Wei said: "Popcorn is not a flower, it is a snack made from corn."
Wang Zhen: "What kind of corn is that?"
"Can't say it!"
"Okay." Wang Zhen's curiosity +1.
"This is called peanut."
"What is peanuts? Is it woody or plant root?"
"It's in the long field."
