After breakfast, the Third Prince wanted to return to the capital. As they were in a hurry, he only took Qingfeng with him on horseback, while everyone else stayed at the farm.

After finishing her breakfast, Zheng Sisi went to check on the rice seeds. When she lifted the quilt, she felt a slightly warm air flow. She reached out and touched the rice seeds, turning them over a few times. It felt okay, not hot.

He asked Zheng Zhiyuan to bring a few buckets of water, poured water over the floor several times, and then covered the floor with quilts.

At the same time, tell Xia Sicheng about the problem of recording temperature.

Today, Zheng Sisi wanted to see how much dry land had been dug, so he took a few people and went straight to the field.

After more than an hour of work yesterday, several acres of land had been turned over. Where there is land, there is work for Zheng Sisi.

He instructed Uncle Li to select a few women and work together to sort the land into ridges.

Zheng Sisi planned to plant the sweet potato seeds she brought in the afternoon.

Because I had a lot of work to do, time passed quickly. I prepared the ground and spread a layer of prepared fertilizer on it. I just had to wait for the afternoon to dig holes and plant sweet potatoes.

In the afternoon, Zheng Sisi came with Sun Zhuangtou and several small managers. She taught them once, and they had to rely on themselves for the future operations.

Sun Zhuangtou also found it very strange. He had never seen the seeds that his boss brought before. When Zheng Sisi told them that the yield of this sweet potato was more than 3,000 kilograms per mu, everyone's mouths almost dropped to the ground in surprise.

Zheng Sisi said: "We are planting sweet potato seeds now, and when the sweet potato vines grow out in the future, we will use the vines to plant them using the cutting method."

Then she demonstrated how to plant: "First dig a hole, and place the sweet potato with the sprout facing up. Don't plant it too deep, or the sweet potato will be buried under the soil and the sprout won't grow. Don't plant it too shallow, or the sweet potato will be exposed and will not sprout much. It has to be moderate."

Zheng Sisi started planting a row of sweet potatoes: "There should be some spacing between the sweet potatoes. If they are too dense, they will not sprout much. If they are too loose, it will waste land."

After Zheng Sisi's demonstration, Uncle Li was the first to take the lead in planting. He planted a row and received praise from Zheng Sisi. Then everyone started to work. Because there were only more than 100 kilograms of seeds, they were planted quickly and only two ridges of land were used.

Zheng Zhiyuan brought people to fetch water, Uncle Li watered the tent with a watering can, and Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu covered the tent with cloth to ensure the temperature at night.

Xia Sinong kept holding a pen and a notebook and taking notes.

Zheng Sisi said: "I covered it with tent cloth because it is still too cold now. The temperature is low at night and I am afraid it will freeze. In fact, it is no problem to plant it a month later. I want to save the land for planting other things later."

After planting sweet potatoes, everyone started digging the ground again, as there were still potatoes and corn to be planted.

In the evening when everyone was finishing work, the third prince came back. He went there on horseback in the morning and came back in a carriage in the evening.

It looks like the Third Prince should have brought back samples. Zheng Sisi didn't expect the Ministry of Industry to be so efficient. She estimated that he would not be back until tomorrow.

Zheng Sisi happily ran to the carriage: "Third Prince, you are back. How is it? How is it? There are several finished products."

The third prince lifted the curtain and came out, taking out the farm tools from the carriage one by one.

Zheng Sisi took it, holding a small hoe and was about to try it out. She ran to a field not far away, squatted down, picked up the small hoe and started digging. It was very light and easy to use.

He asked for a big hoe, and she raised it with both hands and started digging. It was very sharp, and Zheng Sisi was very satisfied.

She tried a hoe and an iron rake, and both worked very well. The craftsmen in the construction department were also very attentive and polished the handles very smoothly.

There is only one curved plow left, which is a big one and she can't try it. She can only ask the plowman to try it tomorrow.

Farmers and tenants who had just returned from work were standing at the gate of the yard, their eyes shining as they looked at the farm tools used by their employers.
