Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Several people came to the potato fields and saw that the potatoes had adapted well to the soil and climate here and were growing particularly well. The Qinghe family was full of expectations for this year's harvest.

Qinghe walked into the potato field, bent down, gently pushed aside the leaves, dug up some soil under the leaves, and saw round potatoes.

She picked up a potato, felt its heaviness, and her heart was filled with joy.

"These potatoes are growing so well!" Qinghe said to her grandfather happily.

"Yes, this year's potatoes will definitely have a bumper harvest," said my father with a smile.

Without waiting for Shangguan Chengwei to ask, Qinghe took the initiative to say:

"Grandfather, these are potatoes. They are not picky about the environment in which they grow. You can see how they are growing. The harvest this year will be good. I estimate that we can harvest 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms. They can be eaten as food or used as a dish. Especially in a fried chicken shop, they can be made into French fries and mashed potatoes. A little bit can be sold for a high price."

Shangguan Chengwei listened to Qinghe's introduction and couldn't help but admire his granddaughter. He didn't expect Qinghe to not only grow these new crops, but also understand their characteristics and uses so well.

"Qinghe, you really impress your grandfather! Once these new crops are planted, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people. Your grandfather is very proud of you for being able to achieve such a vision at such a young age." Shangguan Chengwei said.

Qing He smiled and said, "I also saw that the people were starving. If this year's trial planting is successful, we can popularize it across the country next year and solve people's food problems."

"Qinghe, you've done a great job. The discovery and planting methods of these new crops can not only solve our food and clothing problems, but also increase our income. This is a great thing for the country. You are really the pride of our Shangguan family!" Shangguan Chengwei said.

Qinghe was very happy to hear his grandfather's praise.

Qinghe came to the sweet potato field again and saw that the sweet potato vines had crawled all over the field. She carefully checked and found that the sweet potatoes were growing well.

Each sweet potato was deeply embedded in the soil. She dug carefully, pulled out a sweet potato, and looked at its plump shape, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"The sweet potatoes are growing well too!" Qinghe said to her mother.

"Well, these sweet potatoes are big and sweet. The harvest will definitely be good and they can be sold at a good price." The mother also said happily.

Qinghe checked the crops and suddenly found that the sweet potato vines had deep roots in the fields. This was not conducive to the growth of the sweet potatoes and would definitely reduce the yield.

Baili Ye saw her frowning and asked, "Did Xiaohe find anything wrong?"

Qinghe nodded and said:

"The sweet potato vines are very long and have taken root in the field. If we don't turn them over in time, the yield will be affected after they take root. So we have to find someone to turn them over in the next few days."

After hearing what Qing He said, the village head immediately said, "That's easy. I'll go find someone to turn over the sweet potato vines right away. We can't delay this."

Qing He said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa Lizheng."

The head of the village smiled and said, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. Everyone is looking forward to a good harvest this year, and this is for everyone's good."

The village head quickly called some villagers over, and everyone worked together and soon turned over their own sweet potato vines.

Ze'ao, who did not plant sweet potatoes, helped Qinghe's family to turn over the sweet potato seedlings. Because Qinghe's family planted a lot of sweet potatoes, the villagers turned over their own seedlings and then came to Qinghe's field to help. It took several days to finish turning over the seedlings.

Qinghe looked at everyone's busy figures and felt deeply moved.

After turning over the sweet potato vines, Qinghe explained to everyone some precautions for planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, and everyone listened very carefully.

In the following days, the villagers of Shangao Village took even better care of the crops.

Carefully weed, fertilize and water the crops to ensure they grow healthily.

Shangguan Chengwei and Shangguan Jing also spent the whole day tending to the crops in the fields, enjoying it tirelessly.

During this period, Qinghe visited breeding farms, food processing plants and breweries.

Ever since Bai Shisan learned that the prince and princess had returned, he couldn't wait to report on his recent work, and his words were full of excitement.

“Your Highness, Princess, we have recently sold thousands of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs from our breeding farm, and the next batch will be ready in another twenty days.

The princess is really an expert at making the best use of things. The manure collected from our breeding farm has been concentrated for composting, and the biogas digester has also been put to use.

The princess taught everyone to use poultry and livestock manure as fertilizer for food. Many villagers don’t have enough at home, so they come to the breeding farm to buy it. Although it’s not expensive, it’s also an income.”

After hearing about composting and swamp ponds, Baili Ye also thought this method was very novel.

"This method will be promoted nationwide in the future, so that people's grain production will be greatly increased."

Bai Shisan also agreed excitedly, "Your Majesty is right. Only the princess can think of this way of turning waste into treasure."

As he was talking, Bai Shisan thought of another thing. He said:

"Princess, the hair of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs that you asked me to collect and process has been sorted and collected. Please let me know when you can use it."

Qing He was very excited when she thought about the derivative products that could be made from the hair of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs. She smiled and said:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work Thirteen. In a couple of days we will start turning waste into treasure."

Seeing that the princess spoke so mysteriously, Bai Shisan couldn't help but wonder in his heart how the princess turned these things into treasures.

"Okay, my subordinate knows."

Qinghe asked about the situation of the winery, and Bai Shisan talked enthusiastically about the white wine and rice wine they brewed.

"I have never seen such a high-purity liquor before. It tastes mellow, has a strong aroma, is soft on the palate, and has a long-lasting aroma. It is much better than the liquor we drank before.

If you can't drink strong liquor, the rice wine we brew is also very good. Rice wine has a soft taste and is slightly sweet. It is suitable for women and people who can't drink much.

The wine we brew is definitely the best in the country.”

Qing He smiled and said, "Of course. Thirteen, send me five jars of wine tomorrow, and I'll add some medicinal herbs to make some health wine."

Thirteen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Princess, you can make health wine? That's great. I'll send it to you in a minute."

As he spoke, Thirteen took out an account book and gave it to Qinghe, saying:

“Your Highness, Princess, although our winery has not started selling wine yet, the lees from our winery are transported to the breeding farm to be used as feed, which grows better than raising livestock with grass.

Now villagers also come to buy some feed to feed poultry and livestock, and we earn income by selling distiller's grains."

Qing He smiled and said, "That's good. Keep a record and include it in the account later."
