Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Wandong had just turned ten years old, but looked like she was seven or eight years old. Her height only reached Zhao Sheng's belly. She was very serious when counting, and calculated repeatedly, but she did not include Zhao Long.

When Zhou Tong heard that they were going to stay for dinner, he quickly stood up and said, "Master... let's forget about the dinner!"

"Haha, it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar! I have to treat you to a meal. Thank you, Brother Zhou, for sending us food and water last year!"

These words have a deeper meaning that others may not understand, but if Mao Wang were here, he would know the meaning.

"I know there's a dish in the north called 菾菜, or 莙荙菜. Does Brother Zhou know about it?"

"I've heard of radish. It has a well-developed, but small, root system. Its petioles are thick, convex underneath and flat or grooved above. The leaves on the stem are alternate and small, and taste slightly sweet."

After hearing what Zhou Tong said, Zhao Sheng knew that this was the earliest kind of beet introduced to China from Persia. It was a bit like wild spinach and was not suitable for acidic soil, but weakly alkaline soil was more suitable.

However, its growth cycle is very long, taking at least seven months. It is suitable for planting in autumn and harvesting in spring. It can also be planted in soil like that in Zhao County, since the land is idle anyway.

If beets are planted, sugar can be produced in the future, which is definitely a good thing for the current Zhou Dynasty.

"You're right, that's what I want to do. It's the planting season now, but this plant loves water, so I can't let it dry out and kill it!"

Seeing that the Sixth Prince was so familiar with this item, Zhou Tong bowed and said, "This item is hard to find in this dynasty, but merchants from the Western Regions once brought it to Dingzhou. It is not easy to keep it alive."

"That's fine, I'm just growing it for fun. I'll also get some seeds from the spinach, which is similar. I'll have some uses for it later."

In this era, no one harvested beet seeds. It is said that some people once raised beets as American ginseng.

However, the Suixiju Dietary Manual states that it “clears heat and dispels wind, kills insects and detoxifies, cleanses dirt and turbidity, relieves smallpox, stops leukorrhea and regulates menstruation, relieves stranguria and treats dysentery, and is especially suitable for women and children.

Sugar beet is an important economic crop. In addition to being used for sugar production, its by-products also have high comprehensive utilization value.

For example, molasses can be fermented or processed by chemical methods to produce methanol, ethanol, butanol, glycerol, MSG and acetone.

It can also be used as a raw material for the production of many pharmaceutical and light industrial products such as adenosine triphosphate, chlortetracycline, vitamin B complex, protein yeast and citric acid.

The filter mud after sugar production is rich in calcium and other nutrients. It can be used as fertilizer and also has the function of neutralizing free acids in the soil.

Mr. Zhao wanted to grow these by-products in Zhao County, which would be beneficial to the local economy. However, the sugar beets of that era had not yet been improved by the Soviet Union in later generations.

Not only is its yield low, but its sugar content is also extremely low.

However, if the output is large, it can also be a good raw material for making wine, which was also one of Zhao Sheng’s original ideas.

The dinner was very ordinary, and Zhao Sheng was not a wasteful person.

But there was a kind of wine at night. Zhao Sheng used soybean dregs, mixed them with some sorghum and sorghum straw, and after fermentation, he distilled it to obtain a kind of alcohol.

Although the taste is average, Zhao Sheng planted some sand dates in Zhao County, which can also be used to make wine. Finally, he mixed the two flavors of wine together and steamed them, completely blending the mixed alcohol into a wine with excellent taste.

Mr. Zhao took into consideration that the alcohol content of wine was not high in that era, so he deliberately controlled the alcohol content of the wine to around 30 degrees.

Even so, Zhou Tong and the others were so drunk that they could hardly ride their horses back.

After Li Shuya learned about this, she punished Zhou Tong by making him kneel at the entrance of the hall for an hour.

In Dingzhou County in late autumn, the temperature at night was only a few degrees. If he had not drunk too much and kept his body warm, he would have definitely frozen.

"What kind of wine does he have that could make you drunk like this? Don't I have any wine for you to drink in my mansion?"

Li Shuya was really angry that the guards in her mansion could drink so much while going out on business.

After the princess asked this, Zhou Tong remembered that when he left, Zhao Sheng gave him a bag of alcohol and told him personally that the alcohol was for treating external injuries and he must not drink it secretly.

As a result, Zhou Tong was drunk at the time and did not remember what Zhao Sheng said at all. He only remembered taking out a leather bag.

"Princess, when he came back, he gave me some and said...he told me not to drink it secretly."

While he was punishing his subordinates in the hall, Prince Li Xin learned about it and rushed here. After all, it would not be good if it got out that his daughter behaved like a man.

"Huh? What kind of wine? I don't want you to drink it secretly?"

After hearing what Zhou Tong said, Li Xin took the leather bag and sniffed through the lid. A scent of wine came out.

"Good wine!" Li Xin chuckled and left with the leather bag without caring whether his daughter agreed or not.

Zhou Tong was still in a daze. When he saw the prince take away the alcohol, he didn't say anything. A servant who was punished with him didn't drink much, and he seemed to remember what Zhao Sheng had said.

"Princess, I remember the young master of the Zhao family said that what was given to the captain was called alcohol. As the name suggests, it is the essence of wine. It can heal external injuries caused by swords and knives, and is not... not..."

The young guard couldn't recall what happened next, but he remembered Zhao Sheng saying, "Anyway, this alcohol is for applying to wounds, so don't let the captain drink it secretly."

"Ah! This is not for drinking, but my father..." Li Shuya looked outside and saw that it was getting late. Everyone had already eaten dinner, and he guessed that his father would not drink.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, the general had something to do and wanted to find the prince. He saw the smell of wine on the table and couldn't help asking for some.

There was some extra meat in the palace, so he ordered someone to cut two pounds of it and gave each of them a bowl. They drank so much that they fell unconscious on the spot.

Seeing this, the servant hurriedly reported it to Li Shuya. However, the doctor didn't know what was going on and only said that the symptoms were a bit like being drunk.

Who has ever seen a person get so drunk with just a bowl of wine?

The princess was still worried, so she had to rush to Shigang Village with her guards overnight to find Zhao Sheng.

"Your Highness, I know you are the Sixth Prince. My father drank about a bowl of alcohol you gave him and is now lying in bed unable to wake up."

"Oh my god, this isn't alcohol poisoning, is it? How much alcohol can your father usually drink?"

Since Zhao Sheng was recognized by Li Shuya, he no longer pretended and hurriedly asked about the basic situation.

"My father usually drinks a lot, and it's not a problem for him to finish a jar of wine."

A jar of wine weighs about five to ten kilograms, and it seems that he is just drunk.

"There are two options when you get home. Drink plenty of water, preferably with honey in it. If you can't drink the water, ask a doctor to induce vomiting..."

At this time, Li Shuya heard that it was alcohol poisoning. She didn't know what the poison was. She was so anxious that she burst into tears. She stepped forward, took Zhao Sheng's hand and said, "Sixth brother, come with me to see, and save my father."

Most men can't stand being asked for sex by a beautiful woman, and Zhao Sheng is no exception.

Zhao Zhen always thought that Zhao Sheng was an imposter of the royal family, but he didn't expect that the princess actually recognized him. When he saw that Zhao Sheng was going to Dingzhou with the princess, he hurriedly ran out of the room and threw himself into Zhao Sheng's arms.

"Brother, take me there too..."

At this time, someone came out to cause trouble, and Zhao Sheng suddenly felt a headache!
