After crossing, I spoil my husband

Chapter 140 [140] Cotton and potatoes

Fu Mingyou rested at home for three days, and was summoned into the palace by His Majesty three days later.

Murray rested at home for a day before, and then went into the palace to talk about the previous things, so His Majesty knew it well, so he didn't let Fu Mingyou into the palace again.

His Majesty estimated in his heart that Fu Mingyou's health should be almost recovered, so he directly let him enter the palace.

After Fu Mingyou finished his breakfast, he went directly to the palace. His Majesty didn't ask the other party about the situation of being away for half a year, but wanted to ask about other things.

Fu Mingyou went into the palace to meet His Majesty directly, His Majesty smiled when he saw him coming, and asked about his physical condition.

After all, he also knew about Fu Mingyou's injury from the Imperial Physician Chen, so he let him recuperate at home for a few days.

Fu Mingyou looked at His Majesty's concerned eyes, couldn't help but smiled, and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your concern, I have nothing in my body, and I'm completely healed. Thanks to the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Chen, the wound healed after taking it soon."

His physical fitness is good, and Xia Yanxi cooks some tonics for him every day, and Chen Taiyi's medical skills are also very good, and the other party's prescriptions are very beneficial to the wound.

Seeing that the other party was fine, His Majesty also breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Fu Mingyou a seat. Although there was nothing wrong with his body, it was better to sit.

In the past six months, both he and Murray worked very hard. His Majesty looked at Fu Mingyou and said, "You and Murray have worked hard in the past six months. I called you here today mainly to ask. The things that Mr. Mu planted are also mature, but what is the use of those white things?"

After His Majesty knew that the cotton was ripe, he asked Mu Shangshu to bring some into the palace, but he couldn't figure out what these things were used for, so he asked Fu Mingyou into the palace to inquire.

After hearing this, Fu Mingyou understood in his heart that the cotton had already matured.

Smiling, Fu Mingyou looked at the other party and said, "Your Majesty, that thing is called cotton. It can be used to weave cloth, make clothes, and make bedding. The quality is very good, and it is soft and warm. It is used by ordinary people now It’s linen, silk and brocade are better for it, cotton is better than linen, and it’s not as expensive as silk and brocade.”

Because of his specialization in technology, Fu Mingyou didn't know how cotton and cloth were processed, so he had to find workers who could weave.

"Your Majesty, the most important function of this cotton is in winter. Cotton coats made of cotton are very warm and can be used by soldiers who are marching. Moreover, the cotton is very light and will not feel heavy, nor will it affect the soldiers wearing armor."

It is very cold in winter now, and it will be much warmer with cotton. At the same time, cotton is also very warm for ordinary people. It will be very warm when you spread it on the bed or sleep at night.

"After a while, I'll get you some quilts and you'll know, it's very warm."

His Majesty couldn't help but smile when he heard this, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, but apart from the white things, I don't recognize the ones planted by Young Master Mu."

Although His Majesty grew up in the palace, he was familiar with the rice and sorghum that the common people ate, but he did not recognize the things that Mu Xingzhou planted in the glass house this time.

The main reason is that some things are familiar, and if they are useful, they may break after a long time. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, His Majesty hurriedly let Fu Mingyou into the palace.

At this time, Fu Mingyou also remembered that he had asked Mu Xingzhou to plant some potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. These things were all exchanged by him from the plane system. Counting the time, they were all mature.

Fu Mingyou knew it well, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the things I let Xingzhou grow are edible, and the yield is very high. I think Xingzhou should have told you that for one mu of land, those things can be grown." It can produce five or six hundred catties, and if it is done well, seven or eight hundred catties will not be a problem."

In modern times, sweet potatoes and potatoes can produce thousands of catties per acre of land, but the requirements are a bit high for ancient times with relatively low technology. In addition, there are some fertilizers in modern times, but in ancient times, there were only artificial fertilizers and no chemical fertilizers. Therefore, Fu Mingyou felt that five or six hundred catties was almost the peak.

After all, the land harvest of these ordinary people was only two to three hundred catties before, maybe four hundred catties in good times, and only one to two hundred catties in bad times, which is not bad.

His Majesty was very excited when he heard what Fu Mingyou said, and said, "Are those things edible?"

Originally, he was still thinking about what those things were, but he didn't expect it to be edible.

"The output of those things is indeed very high. Let's take a look at it right now while we are free."

His Majesty had only heard about what Mu Xingzhou said before, but he had never seen it face to face. Now that Fu Mingyou said that this thing could produce five or six hundred catties, His Majesty was still very surprised.

There is a specialized farm doctor in Li country, so His Majesty directly summoned him to follow him to have a look.

Fu Mingyou did not refuse. He knew why His Majesty was so excited. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. If the farmer's harvest is good, the life of the common people will be much easier.

As a high-ranking person, His Majesty, of course, hopes that his common people will have a better life with enough food and clothing.

His Majesty Fu Mingyou and Dr. Nong went to Mu Xingzhou directly after leaving the palace.Those things were all planted in the suburbs of Beijing. Fortunately, there is a paradise nearby, and the distance is also very close.Fu Mingyou asked Heizi to find Mu Xingzhou, and the group met in Xanadu.

The things in the glass shed were about a mile or two away from Taoyuan, which wasn't very far away. When Mu Xingzhou arrived, everyone walked over without making a carriage.

Now everything is in the cellar on the outskirts of Beijing. Since Fu Mingyou was not around, Mu Xingzhou didn't know what the thing was for, so he put it in the cellar and kept it.

The boys on the side brought up some things from the cellar. Fu Mingyou couldn't help smiling when he looked at the preserved potatoes. Generally speaking, sweet potatoes are around October, and now it's just over September. Not ripe yet, but the corn is definitely ready for harvest now.

"Mingyou, according to what you said, I got this potato out for storage in March, but I haven't got the others yet."

Mu Xingzhou always remembers the time Fu Mingyou talked about before, and it just so happens that Fu Mingyou is back now, so everyone can go and have a look.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, and said, "Let's take a look at the other two things first." The corn can definitely be harvested now, but fortunately, they are all grown in glass greenhouses, so even if they are placed inside, they won't get in the way. There will be no sparrows to eat.

His Majesty was also interested in what Fu Mingyou said, so the group moved to a place and entered the shed.

"Heizi, break these things off." Fu Mingyou looked at the corn that was almost two meters high, and said immediately.

Heizi, Zhuzi and the others nodded and began to break off the corn. After there were more than a dozen of them, Fu Mingyou stopped.

"This thing is called corn, this one is called potato, and they are all edible." Fu Mingyou took one in each hand, "The one on the other side can't be dug out until mid-November, and that one is called sweet potato. Let me talk about this potato first. "

Because the potatoes were well preserved in the cellar, the potatoes did not germinate and were edible.Fu Mingyou explained one by one. In order to let His Majesty feel these two things more intuitively, Fu Mingyou took some potatoes and corn, and went directly to Xanadu.

The most intuitive feeling is to make these two things and taste them. Because of His Majesty's status, everyone went to the inn. The VIP rooms there are still very good. In addition, the inn also has a kitchen, so the kitchen staff can cook it. After a while, of course Fu Mingyou will tell them the steps.

His Majesty sat on the leader's chair, looked at the surrounding environment, smiled, and said, "This place is quite novel."

After saying that, His Majesty got up and turned around. He found that the hot water here can flow automatically, and there is even something more useful than a Gong bucket.

At the same time, there is also a thing called a lazy sofa. I have to say that it is quite comfortable.

Seeing that His Majesty likes the things here, Fu Mingyou said bluntly: "If Your Majesty likes this lazy sofa, I will go to the Shang Palace Bureau in two days and teach them how to do it."

After all, His Majesty is a man of gold, so it is not good to take it in from the outside. Instead of letting the workers do it, it is better to hand it over to those people in the Shang Palace Bureau. They are also capable people. As long as Fu Mingyou describes it, those people probably will Just know how to make it.

"That's daring."

His Majesty did not refuse, this lazy sofa is indeed very comfortable, if there is one in the palace, you can also get one for the queen mother and the queen, it is still very warm to sit in and bask in the sun on weekdays.

Especially in winter, it is absolutely comfortable to sit on this, and the inside of the palace is covered with glass and floor heating.

I chatted with His Majesty, and under the supervision of my father-in-law, the kitchen brought out potatoes and corn.

"Master Fu, please introduce us to us."

His Majesty looked at the dishes in front of him and said with a smile.

He didn't recognize these things, so he had to let Fu Mingyou come.

Fu Mingyou smiled directly, and then said: "Your Majesty, this dish is called fried shredded pork with potatoes, and the yellow color is the potatoes I just took to the kitchen."

Because His Majesty is very cautious about what he eats, so Fu Mingyou tried each of them with a silver needle before he dared to pick up food for the other party.

They didn't dare to chopsticks until they caught one for His Majesty.

After all, there are quite a few people here, of course His Majesty would not eat alone, so he directly allowed everyone to serve together.

Anyway, with so many dishes, he couldn't finish them all by himself.
