The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

The appearance of new crops can't help but make some people in the territory feel curious.

After all, it is something that has never existed before.

What's more, the crop named potato was brought back from the New World by Samuel Fern, so I don't know what it looks like and tastes like.

Everyone had different thoughts and took back the potato seeds, along with the attached planting manual.

But I can't read just a manual, and I have to send someone to the Thorn Chamber of Commerce to buy more detailed brochures.

In this way, another wave of sales was refreshed for the chamber of commerce.

Old Beach is an ordinary civilian in Wissas.

But he is also the head of a village.

This time, on behalf of the whole village, Old Beach led some young people to the town hall to receive potato seeds—a cart full of them.

"Could it be that so many are seeds?" Old Beach asked in surprise.

Very heavy.

The ruts were pressed deep into the mud, leaving traces.

Next to Old Beach, a young man was flipping through the accompanying manual, which contained some basic information.

The young man said: "Yes, the village chief."

"The manual says the potato itself is the seed."

"However, before using it as seeds, it needs to be cut into pieces to germinate, and there is an emphatic mark on it - if the potato turns green and germinates, it is poisonous and cannot be eaten."

"poisonous?"

Old Beach glanced at the cart full of potatoes, each of which was about the size of a palm, and was a khaki color.

He asked, "Sprouts are poisonous and still need to be planted in the ground?"

Is this edible? !

The young man replied: "The manual says that germination planting is normal, and it is the first step to be done."

He read the content written in the manual and said: "Village chief, it is best to cut ten to 15 yuan per catty of potatoes, and each piece must have a bud eye..."

"The following is the method of germination."

Old Beach waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't read, and take this cart of potatoes back to the village first."

"Come here and give me the manual."

The young man responded, and then handed the manual to Old Beach.

He was the only one who could read and write among the young people who followed him.

The old village chief Biqi also knew a few words, but not many. After reading the manual twice, he put it in his pocket and studied it carefully when he went back.

…………

The lord attaches great importance to this matter of planting potatoes.

All the people in the city who distributed the potato seeds felt it.

The lord not only let the mayor personally participate in the propaganda.

And even the latest issue of the newspaper began to update the progress of potato planting in real time-even Samuel Fern's adventure comics were moved to the back section.

The importance of potato cultivation can be seen.

not only that.

The lord even built a large wall similar to a blackboard next to the main road that people must pass through in the city.

He ordered someone to write the detailed planting method of potatoes on it, and if he couldn't understand it, he could ask the guards next to him to explain it.

Such a frequently publicized formal charter undoubtedly made the people in Fort Comoi and other cities who were the first to receive potato seeds realize how much the lord really valued new crops.

As a result, they dare not neglect the matter of planting potatoes more and more.

Regardless of whether it is cutting potatoes to accelerate germination, selecting and preparing the soil, or managing the seedlings after sowing, all places that have received potato seeds follow the specific steps in the booklet.

…………

When potatoes were planted in Fort Comoi and other cities, Xia Zuoyi led everyone to the plantation.

This time, it is the harvest time of corn and sweet potatoes.

——Pieces of corn stalks stand upright in the ground, looking as tall as a person.

The dark green corn stalks and corn leaves shook gently with the breeze, and the number of corn cobs wrapped in them was unclear one by one.

Because of the initial planning of the terrain, the corn stalks are gathered in rows, which looks quite spectacular.

Except for the civilians or slaves who fertilized the corn or guarded the plantation every day, those who first saw this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes and couldn't believe it.

"Lord, the yield of corn...it seems to be comparable to that of potatoes." Judit was surprised.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help showing a look of joy.

He stepped forward and broke open a corn wrapped in corn leaves, revealing the yellow-orange-orange corn kernels inside, one by one, full of grains.

He broke off a kernel of corn and stuffed it straight into his mouth to taste.

A little bit of corn-flavored juice splashed out of the mouth in an instant—although there was a jerky taste in it, it was also faintly sweet.

The yield per mu of corn is generally around [-] to [-] jin.

Sometimes, due to differences in soil quality and other relations, the yield of corn will also change accordingly.

For example, the areas where corn is grown—compared with plains and hills, naturally the yield of corn grown on plains is greater.

Xia Zuoyi broke off a few more corns.

He then took a few steps back and ordered people to pick all the corn cobs, and then put all the corn stalks on the ground.

Corn stalks can be used for fire after drying.

"How does the corn taste?" At this moment, Segalote asked aloud from the side.

Xia Zuoyi turned to look at His Majesty the Pope, and spread out his hands, with a few scattered corn kernels lying on the palm: "Do you want to taste it, Your Majesty?"

Saigalot didn't answer, but leaned over slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Again.

That feeling of steam coming out of the tip of the ear and a change in the heartbeat.

Xia Zuoyi seemed to be normal, and there was no change in his expression.

He pursed his lips, and pressed a kernel of corn against the rosy mouth of the Pope——

Then, Saigalote opened his lips lightly, and his lips touched Xia Zuoyi's finger vaguely.

Xia Zuoyi calmed down the fluctuating emotions in her heart.

He said: "Corn cannot be eaten raw, but there is no problem if you try it."

"I read the notes left by Duke Bill before. It said that corn can be boiled and eaten directly in water. Let the chef try it later."

Next to them were the sounds of commoners and slaves working hard to harvest corn, with the voices of Judith, Gibran and others interspersed in between.

Xia Zuoyi and Saigalot seem to be their own area, and there is a strange atmosphere surging during it.

Saigalot just wanted to speak after nodding, but Xia Zuoyi twirled another corn kernel and fed it to his mouth, and even touched it lightly with his fingertips.

"Your Majesty, try one more."

Saigalot was surprised, his gilt eyes seemed to have a gorgeous but deep expression.

He opened his mouth and ate the corn kernels.

Xia Zuoyi stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, "Your Majesty, do you like this place?"

Segalot: "Parshan?"

"No, it's the whole of Designia, my territory."

Xia Zuoyi asked: "Do you like Designia?"

Desinia - a territory named after his surname.

Saigalot: "I like it."

He seems to feel that two words are not enough to express that kind of strong love, only for the person with this surname, even though what this person is asking is the territory.

Saigalot spoke again slowly but solemnly: "Designia, I like it very much."

"Then... how does it compare with the Saint Airl Empire?"

Saigalot said the same answer again without hesitation.

He wondered why Xia Zuoyi wanted to know this question, but Xia Zuoyi smiled and didn't answer.

Just at this time, the nearby corn fields have almost been harvested.

The commoners and slaves began to harvest farther away, and the rest had to weigh the corn that had been picked.

Judith stepped forward and asked Xia Zuoyi to take a look.

Seeing his back, Segalot narrowed his eyes, gave a final chuckle, and walked forward.

——The yield of corn after weighing is as amazing as the yield of potatoes.

Although everyone had been prepared before, they still held their chests in surprise at this time, and their faces couldn't help revealing expressions of joy.

"This, how can I be afraid of starving after this?" Someone sighed.

The civilians and slaves couldn't help but put down the farm tools in their hands.

They couldn't help but knelt and bowed to Xia Zuoyi excitedly, and knelt and bowed to the Pope's crown, chanting "God of Creation" in their mouths.

This is simply the gospel bestowed by the Creator God!

After the corn is harvested, there are still sweet potatoes to be dug out of the land.

Xia Zuoyi led the people to the area where sweet potatoes were grown.

It was noon at this time, and it had already passed the usual meal time, but the lord hadn't spoken yet, and no one left.

Not to mention asking to leave.

There are also resting places for hired civilian slaves in the plantation, complete with tables, chairs, and kitchen utensils for cooking.

Xia Zuoyi then ordered people to cook the corn here directly, and use the corn as lunch.

As for the sweet potatoes, they can be saved until the afternoon to harvest them.

Some time ago, because the chefs in the castle had to study recipes about potato recipes every day, potatoes were included in almost every meal.

—— Shred, slice, or block potatoes, or even cook them directly and mash them.

The dishes made include shredded potatoes, fried potato slices, stewed potatoes with meat...

Not only that, but also potato cakes, fried potatoes... There are no less than dozens of ways to eat potatoes by steaming, roasting, frying, frying, and frying.

The chef in the castle couldn't put it down to potatoes and was full of enthusiasm.

Therefore, the potato recipe booklet handed over to Xia Zuoyi recently is also thick enough.

Although they have been eating potatoes for many days, everyone is not tired of eating them, but they feel that potatoes are really a very, very good food.

Not only the output is high, but also the way of eating is varied.

Nowadays, the corn is cooked in the pot, and everyone can't help but look forward to the taste of corn.

Xia Zuoyi ordered someone to cut a lot of slender wooden sticks in advance, and when the corn was cooked, they would be directly inserted in the middle.

The corn can then be eaten on a thin wooden stick.

"Your Majesty, this is for you."

Xia Zuoyi handed the first corn out of the pot to the Pope.

There is a wooden stick, and it will not be hot.

Segalot took the corn.

This way of eating corn on the cob is indeed a bit indecent for nobles.

But you can't peel off the corn kernels one by one and put them on the plate, and then use a fork to eat them one by one into your mouth...

Saigalot didn't feel embarrassed after taking the corn, but took the first bite directly.

This kind of posture is done under the Pope's crown, and there is still a sense of calmness in it...elegant and gentle.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xia Zuoyi staring at him all the time, Segalote turned around and asked in doubt.

"No, nothing."

Xia Zuoyi shook her head and asked again, "Is the corn delicious?"

"The taste is very good." Saigalot showed a satisfied expression.

The golden yellow corn looks very attractive.

——It smells fragrant, and it tastes sweet and full of aftertaste, with a rich and tender taste.

The taste of corn is not only very sweet, but also very filling.

People who usually eat a lot are almost full after eating two or three corns, and even feel a little full.

This discovery was even more surprising.

After lunch, the next step is to harvest sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato field is like the ground where potatoes were planted before, it is a piece of green, with the roots exposed above, and the sweet potatoes are just under the ground...

The civilians or slaves hold farm tools in their hands, and they can't help but swallow their saliva in anticipation and excitement—is sweet potatoes...will they be the same as potatoes?

There are actually many sweet potatoes growing under the rhizome?

The author has something to say: Xia Xia: I will retract after testing it out, anyway, I am not in a hurry.

Pope: ...was he flirting with me just now?

Xia Xia: There is rice, I just touch it.

pope:…………
