Grasp the farming script in the famous book

If we say that green asparagus is a nutritious, reserved and expensive vegetable;

Then white asparagus is the ivory on the table, a delicate and slender jewel-it was once named "royal vegetable", which means that only members of the royal family are eligible to enjoy this delicacy.

"White asparagus?"

The women of Lena look at each other.

The female workers who help in the kitchen are the most vocal.

"White asparagus? I heard that it is very expensive. The price of a white asparagus can be more than ten times more expensive than green asparagus."

"The most terrible thing is that you have money and nowhere to buy this thing."

"In places as rich as boarding schools, girls don't get white asparagus."

“Such expensive vegetables!”

"Why don't we try?"

The women couldn't hold back for a while, and the words "plant it" were written on their faces.

"But...we don't have any white asparagus seeds either?"

Roland suddenly laughed.

"My friends, white asparagus and green asparagus are actually the same thing."

The women were successfully stunned by Roland.

They looked at the kitchen helper for a while, and Roland for a while.

"White ones are more than ten times more expensive than green ones, but white ones are the same thing as green ones?"

At the same time, everyone had thoughts such as "why do I feel that my IQ is not enough?"

Looking at the plain and confused faces, Roland couldn't help laughing.

She revealed the answer: "These two vegetables are the same crop, but grown in different ways."

"Green asparagus is allowed to grow freely on the surface; while white asparagus is buried in the soil from the first day of growth, without light until it matures."

"The young shoots of white asparagus are always in the ground, unable to carry out photosynthesis, so they cannot produce chlorophyll, so they are always white..."

Roland realized that she had to shut up quickly. The more terms she used, the more advanced she seemed, but the more people in the village were dizzy.

"In short, if you sow the seeds of green asparagus and cultivate them according to my method, you can grow the legendary and expensive white asparagus. How about it? Are you interested in trying to grow white asparagus?"

"Let me put it bluntly, growing white asparagus is extremely hard work, and the labor involved is much more than growing green asparagus. But the rewards are also very impressive."

"The profit from planting white asparagus for a season in the small vegetable field in front of everyone is enough to cover the income of the whole village in planting crops and pastures for a year."

"so much!"

By analogy, the women finally had a general idea of ​​the benefits of white asparagus.

"How about we try?"

Anna turned around and asked everyone.

"Don't listen to her—"

Suddenly, the crippled farmer who accused Roland of "goofing off" came out from behind.

"She is a little girl, what kind of farming does she know?"

"Look at her complexion, look at her fingers, look at her slender waist..."

"Where is this a farmer?"

Roland sighed silently: Another person who judges people by their appearance.

She...hasn't she just entered the plane, is it too late for calluses to grow on her fingers?

"It's really not..."

Anna was also a little confused, "This is a female student in the school, Miss Tanglar..."

"Girls at school? Girls whose parents have tons of money in their cash drawers and send them to boarding schools for two days?"

"Didn't they all graduate by playing the piano and singing, and return to Paris after receiving their diplomas to find a good husband for themselves? You asked her to teach you how to farm?"

The lame farmer snorted angrily.

"Those rich guys, none of them are good things."

Roland still had a smile on his face, explaining patiently.

"Yes, my parents did have some money. But they were also poor when they were young."

Since the classmates in the school laughed at her father's title as not being hereditary, then for the time being, she thought that Tanglar also came from a poor man.

"People gain wealth through their own hard work. You can laugh at my youth and my lack of calluses, but... what evidence do you have that I don't know how to grow asparagus?"

Roland looked at the lame farmer.

The other party was like a wine jug gagged at the moment, always wanting to say something, but didn't know how to speak at all.

But the women all looked at Roland with different eyes.

They all knew that "Miss Tanglar" was different from the rest of the boarding school—not because she was rich, but because... she respected their labor.

Even if the lady paid them to do something, she would still politely say thank you and praise them for a job well done, which made them feel comfortable-as if they were not master and servant to each other. , The relationship between nobles and commoners.

We are all friends.

We are all equal.

Roland can give people such a feeling.

Therefore, the women have more trust in Roland.After hearing her mention of "white asparagus", many people felt that they saw hope, rather than questioning it at the first time.

Besides, Roland had easily explained the reason why a certain piece of land was "suitable for growing asparagus" earlier - this also convinced the women very much.

But what to grow in your vegetable patch—that's an important decision.After all, if you plant one, you can’t grow others. If the asparagus grows bad, then more than half of the village’s income from vegetables will be lost.

So people looked at me and I looked at you, but no one answered for a while.

Roland waved his hand: "It's not urgent."

"Isn't everyone coming back today to prepare for planting?"

"No matter what you finally decide to plant, you should plow the land and loosen the soil. As for whether to grow asparagus or not, you should think about it slowly, ask slowly, and it will not be too late to inform me when you make a decision."

We are still two or three weeks away from planting asparagus.Roland was not in a hurry.

She knew that the villagers of Lina Village would definitely ask for her suggestion.

She also hoped that these villagers would inquire carefully - the more they inquired, the more they wanted to plant.

In the evening of that day, she took her family's agent cat back to the boarding school, pointed to the guard: "I sent the cat back." She slipped back to the campus easily.

Louise had already waited for her until her face turned pale.Apparently this girl "plays two roles" in the piano room, playing the piano for a while and singing for a while, always on tenterhooks for too long.

Outside the plane, some viewers finally noticed that the "Plane of Monte Cristo" has begun to warm up.

"Ah, it's Roland!"

"What, Miss Tanglar??!"

"Ah this..."

Audiences who are familiar with the plane really don't know how to feel.

Roland's fans had no choice but to come forward and explain: "We, Lan Lan, have always been unlucky in drawing characters..."

"It's okay... It's also a good thing to be able to watch farming with Roland during the warm-up period."

There are also many viewers who came directly from the "Arrogant Plane", and they are still feeling emotional.

"Miss Roland actually let me meet the original author, you know, that scene made me... I don't know why, I just cried like this... I have never cried like this in any 'famous plane'..."

"For this reason, I ordered 'Meridon Chicken Rice' to take out again. My tears can only be compensated by the delicious food."

"+1, but I called the truffle set: Roast chicken with truffle + claypot rice with truffle sausage, and a small bottle of truffle oil is also included. It's worth the money, and the wall cracks are recommended..."

"Are these the peripherals bought in the 'Famous Planes' shop?"

"Same question, I haven't ordered takeaway from the surrounding stores yet."

"Yes, it's the surrounding stores. Be sure to look for Roland's same name. Even outside the plane, these delicacies are not available all the time. Whether it's n3909 or black truffle, hurry up, don't wait!"

"Thank you big brother upstairs!"

"It's all foodies, so don't be polite!"

Attention is also gradually shifting to the new plane, especially after Roland became a "boy who spreads money" once.Many viewers are following Roland's progress, just watching how she develops in the new dimension.

"Wow, the opening game is [-] francs. I'm looking forward to this game!"

"But this school is not in Paris, it's a pity..."

"It's better if you're not in Paris. How do you farm in Paris? Roof garden?"

"Come on, let's guess what will Roland plant first in this plane?"

"Asparagus...white asparagus, has anyone guessed it right!"

"Oh my god, how should I eat white asparagus?"

"Peel, blanch, and serve with a light sauce—a noble delicacy."

There are many experienced chefs in the audience.

"Get, I'm going to place an order now."

"What? There are no fresh white asparagus, only pickled vinegar white asparagus?"

"Didn't I tell you 'slow hands'?"

"This……"

Roland didn't know that she just persuaded the villagers of Lina Village, which directly led to the shortage of fresh white asparagus outside the plane——

She just found out that this village is suitable for growing white asparagus on a whim in the plane.

Even if white asparagus is really cultivated, it can only be eaten after the plane enters summer.

But people outside the plane are crazy about the new delicious food—even in the 22nd century, when agriculture is so developed, it takes time to cultivate crops.

But Roland didn't know all this.

The broker cat Luna asked her: "Do you think the villagers in Lina Village can make up their minds?"

Roland thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes."

"These are people who are trying to change their lives."

"If they just want to make a living, they come to school and do odd jobs, and when they make enough money, they go home and drink some wine, play cards, and the days go by..."

"But look at the women of Lena. They never mess with their work."

Luna looked at the spotlessly cleaned dormitory, the newly changed cat litter and the freshly picked chicken in the small plate, and nodded Maomaotou.

"I estimate that they will come to me in two weeks. Two weeks is enough time for them to ask the passing merchants and nearby villages."

"Of course, the later they come to me, the more they attach importance to this matter."

"The more serious people are, the more I am willing to help them."

Just as he was talking, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door.Someone tiptoed past Roland's room and walked into the next bedroom.

It was Mademoiselle Louise de Amely--she had been working hard, and she was only going back to her dormitory after practicing.

Luna remembered what Roland said just now, and couldn't help but "meow" twice, expressing her agreement.

Two weeks later, when the school maid came to bring hot water to Roland, she asked rather embarrassedly:

"Eugénie, when will you visit our village again?"

Roland had expected such an event, said "Yes", and went to pack the "disguise" outfit by himself, and put it on the bed.

The female worker immediately beamed with joy, and said softly: "We all believe in you, but those men in the village... they asked someone to ask, and they finally knew what happened to the white asparagus, but no one asked how to grow it. ..."

No, I still begged Roland to come.

After all, it was Roland's words that moved the whole village: "My parents do have some money. But they were also poor when they were young."

The innocent villagers naturally thought: maybe they got rich by relying on this white asparagus?

So they tried to inquire about the price of white asparagus on the market.

After inquiring, everyone summed up: "Plant! Plant!"

In this world, how can there be a fool who pushes wealth away with both hands when all opportunities are in front of him?

So, Roland took another sunny afternoon and went out to "walk the cat".

She came to the village with the villagers: the land she "tasted" earlier has been carefully plowed by the villagers, and several deep trenches have been dug, ready for planting.

When Roland arrived, the villagers told her that a little coarse salt had been spread on the ground—this was enough to prove that the villagers of Lina Village had made up their minds and consumed the asparagus.

"You trust me, and I will naturally tell you what I know without reservation."

Facing the pair of eager eyes in front of him, Roland solemnly promised.

"As I mentioned before, growing white asparagus is a hundred times more expensive than growing green asparagus. It takes a lot of effort."

"But it will also bring you rich rewards."

Then Roland began to explain to these villagers how to plant.To put it simply, it is very simple. White asparagus is green asparagus that is not exposed to light during the growth period. The soil is divided into ridges and planted according to ridges. These are all the same.

But the difficulty lies in the words "no sunlight"-from beginning to end, the young asparagus sprouts must be buried in the soil.

As they grow taller, so must the ridges until they reach 15-20 cm, a length worth harvesting.

For first-time, inexperienced farmers, growing white asparagus can be a dangerous game.

The entire growth process of white asparagus must be in the soil. Ordinary people have to reach out to the soil at night to test their growth status.

Even when harvesting, it is necessary to take an oil lamp to the edge of the field for lighting from early morning to before sunrise, so as to harvest the white asparagus that is about to push out of the ground in a short period of two or three hours.

Otherwise, once these asparagus are exposed to the ground, the heads of the bamboo shoots will turn red and then turn green—these are unqualified asparagus and cannot be sold at a good price.

"You have made the difficulty very clear."

Anna said gratefully, "But we all discussed it, we can't just sit around and wait for others to help us."

"Whether it works or not, we want to give it a try."

"Perhaps this village can be brought back to life."

That's what everyone says.

"Then there is nothing more to say, let's do it together."

As soon as Roland said, "Let's do it together", he really went to grab the seeds and plant them.

Then she took a few female workers to sweep around the chicken coops in the village, took out all the "organic fertilizer" in the chicken coops, and planted them in the soil as the first batch of fertilizer.

Everyone in Lina Village was stunned that she could do this.

The lame farmer who had questioned him rushed forward to apologize to Roland; the men admired secretly, while the female workers looked at each other, they were discussing: I will go back to school later, but I have to boil a big bucket of bath water for Miss Tanglar , otherwise I will be sorry for others.

"At that time, we heard you say that when the asparagus is planted at this time, it can be harvested in April and May, so we were very tempted."

During the break, Anna and Roland sat side by side drinking water.

Anna was a lively young woman, especially fond of talking.

"I originally thought that we could grow a crop of white asparagus before June, and then we could go to the neighboring vineyard to help after June, but, alas..."

Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but sighed.

She wasn't sitting opposite Roland, so she couldn't see Roland's big black eyes, which instantly lit up like obsidian.

"vineyard?"

"Yes, the old vines have been around for many years, but they can't do it anymore. The owner said that he is going to go bankrupt, and the vineyard and the winery are going to be sold."

"Bankrupt? Sell?"

Roland became more interested.

Unexpectedly, someone called Anna away at this time: "Your guy is calling you!"

Anna's husband was injured in both eyes during the war, and his vision was blurred, so he couldn't do farm work.Although he tried his best to avoid troubles for Anna, there were always times when he needed his wife.

Anna was like a young woman who didn't care about worries. She got up and said to Roland:

"I was so happy when I was able to help in the vineyard. While picking grapes, I ate all the broken skins..."

"Everyone brought a big wooden barrel, threw grapes in it, then jumped into it with bare feet, stomping on it..."

"In this way, there will be a bottle of ours for the new wine brewed that year..."

"It's a pity, the good days are gone forever..."

As Anna talked, she felt sad, "Now I just hope that people don't always get sick like grapes..."

Said, the girl has gone far.

Roland: Grape is sick?The farm owner went bankrupt?Winery resale?

You know, she still has a "challenge" to increase the value of [-] francs to [-] francs waiting to be completed.

Every time Roland goes out to "walk the cat", Louise has to "play two roles" and practice the piano alone in the piano room, but she has to "babble" twice, pretending that Roland is practicing vocals.

Only in this way can Roland's "secret" be kept from being discovered.

However, when Roland repeatedly left school to "walk the cat" for the food on the plate, her "classmates" in the school never stopped.

Roland originally planned to go to Lina Village that day, but a young female worker named Lucia came to Roland ahead of time.

"I heard them discussing that they want to find the two of you to play piano and music."

"In my opinion, don't go to the village this afternoon. We have remembered what you said, and will do as you said."

Lucia, like the girls and wives of Lina, has a good-natured smile.

Roland nodded: Now that she knows about the plan, it is really unreasonable for her to leave Louise alone in the school to "top the tank".

Roland thanked Lucia and turned to look at Louise.

When the young lady heard this, she lowered her head shyly. Her long swan neck curved like a drooping swan, and the skin on her neck slowly revealed the beautiful pink color of spring apricot blossoms.

Roland quickly reached out and patted his friend on the shoulder to express his support.

Want to play piano with Louise? ——Roland, who is well aware of Louise's piano skills, only cares about one question now, is it possible to bet on this game?
