Zheng Sisi turned over all the vegetable seeds drying in the yard.
"It's about time to dry it in the sun for another half an hour. It's just right for us to put it away after dinner."
I took another look at the bag of potatoes I bought. They didn't sprout much. It seems that I need to help them germinate. To germinate potatoes, you need a dark room, dryness, and temperature.
“Well, it can be done.”
When Zheng Sisi arrived at the dining room in the front yard, the Third Prince Sheng Zhen and others had also arrived. It seemed that the Third Prince had taken a few people back home to take a bath and then came here. He also changed into new clothes.
It was great that the three rich young men could follow her and farm like this.
The meal was not served until the wife of the Duke came to the dining hall. After the meal, the wife of the Duke asked to go home, leaving her fourth grandson Zheng Zhiyuan to Zheng Sisi to help.
The third prince also agreed after hearing this. Zheng Sisi was not shy in telling them all the methods of farming, and there was no problem with taking over a Duke's Mansion. After all, this was something that would benefit the country and the people.
Once the results are out, we still need to publicize and guide the people to plant it.
After seeing off the Duke's wife, Zheng Sisi said to the Third Prince, "I plan to plant some seeds tomorrow afternoon. Does the Sinong Temple need someone to come and learn from me?"
The third prince nodded: "Well, I will pass the message to my father."
Zheng Sisi moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you collecting the saltpeter?"
The third prince frowned: "What's wrong?"
Zheng Sisi: "If we don't collect saltpeter now, there won't be enough in the summer. And you can't collect all the saltpeter on the market. You have to leave some for the pharmacy in case of emergency."
The third prince said, "Well, I sent out the order yesterday. Saltpeter wasn't very useful before, so it wasn't mined in large quantities. There are a few saltpeter mines out there, and I've already arranged for people to go mining."
Zheng Sisi: "It's better to keep it secret and don't let spies from other countries find out."
The third prince stared at Zheng Sisi seriously.
Zheng Sisi: "I am considering my own safety."
The third prince laughed, and Zheng Sisi was puzzled.
Zheng Sisi turned around and said to the maid, "Lily, go get a new quilt for the bed and replace the old quilt of Uncle Ma, the doorman. Bring it back to the yard. I'll need it later."
Lily: "Okay, girl."
Lily took the order and left.
Zhong Ruiyu: "Miss Zheng, what do you want the old quilt for?"
Zheng Sisi: "Germinate the potatoes. The weather is still a bit cold. If we want to plant two crops of potatoes this year, we can only help them germinate."
The Third Prince: "You can also germinate plants! Potatoes can be grown twice a year."
My fourth cousin Zheng Zhiyuan didn't say a word along the way, he just studied silently.
Zheng Sisi: "This is very easy! As long as the temperature is high, you can plant two seasons if you know when to plant.
I've dried all the seeds, so they should be ready to harvest now. Do you want to go take a look?"
Several people nodded: "Okay."
When we arrived at Zheng Sisi's yard, there was a big osmanthus tree in the corner and a row of flowers planted along the wall. Probably no one had taken care of them before, so the flowers were sparse and not very pretty.
There were several winnowing baskets drying in the yard, which should be the seeds that Zheng Sisi mentioned.
Zheng Sisi pointed to the seeds she recognized and introduced them to everyone: "This black one is a watermelon seed. A large watermelon can grow to more than ten kilograms, and it is a holy fruit for relieving summer heat.
These are pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin can be used for cooking or as a snack.
This is the chili seed, it is the soul of the dish. You will know when you have eaten it. It is spicy. Because it is brought from foreign countries, it is also called chili pepper.
This is a tomato seed. It can be fried or made into soup. It also comes from foreign countries and is also called tomato.
This is beans..."
Zheng Sisi introduced seven or eight species, and then pointed to five or six and said, "I don't recognize these seeds either, but you can plant them first and see if you can recognize them later."
Several people listened carefully, but unfortunately they didn't recognize any of the seeds. However, after hearing about their uses and how to eat them, several people remembered them.
