After crossing, I spoil my husband

Chapter 141 [141] Seedlings and weaving

His Majesty took a bite of the potato, and the soft feeling instantly filled his whole sense of taste.

"Not bad, delicious."

His Majesty nodded with a smile, and then tried every potato dish one by one.

Fu Mingyou also tasted it, and he found that the pure natural potatoes taste really delicious, much better than the ones he bought in modern supermarkets before.

After tasting everything, His Majesty put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Fu Mingyou beside him, smiled, and said, "Master Fu, this product has a good yield and taste, when can it be planted?"

It is only possible if the common people can eat this thing.

Moreover, it can produce five or six hundred catties per mu, which is very good.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and said: "It can be planted now, and it will almost mature in March and April next year."

"Okay, then I will leave this matter to Mr. Fu and Mr. Chen."

Mr. Chen is a farm doctor, in charge of farming.

"It's Your Majesty."

Master Chen responded immediately, feeling a little excited.

I didn't expect Mr. Fu to be so good. Apart from being able to make waterwheels and test questions, he can even farm. He is simply a role model for a generation.

Fu Mingyou responded with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, let's have a taste of this corn."

Corn is no worse than potatoes, especially when it is fresh and tender, it should not be too delicious.

"This thing can actually be eaten when it's tender, and it's very sweet when cooked. It's a pity that I didn't come back at that time, and I forgot to tell Xingzhou."

Fu Mingyou felt it was a pity, otherwise the corn at that time was very delicious.

Hearing this, His Majesty on the side couldn't help but smiled, and said: "Then next year, you must try this, but this thing can be made into cakes, but I don't know how the cakes will taste."

Fu Mingyou smiled, took one for him, smiled, and said: "The taste is still good, Your Majesty, please try it."

Now the corn is all ground into flour, otherwise it is very delicious when roasted and boiled when it is fresh and tender.

His Majesty ate some, smiled, and said: "These things are very good for the common people, and the output is very high, which is very good for everyone."

Fu Mingyou smiled approvingly, and said: "That's true. Now the corn can only be sown in spring, but it can't be sown now. There is only one season in a year."

His Majesty smiled and said: "Now that we have this potato, the two are planted crosswise, so it is also possible for the common people to write."

Fu Mingyou nodded in agreement, and said, "When the sweet potatoes are ripe in a while, you can grow them, and the taste of sweet potatoes is even better than potatoes, and you can make a lot of delicacies."

The current sweet potatoes are not yet ripe, and they will not be harvested until some time later.

"Then I'll just wait for the sweet potatoes to ripen."

His Majesty smiled, and he will try it again when the sweet potato comes out.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, and then said: "Then Weichen and Master Chen will be responsible for planting this thing."

Master Chen nodded with a smile, followed Fu Mingyou and cupped his hands, and said: "Then Weichen will assist Master Fu to carry out this matter together."

If you can really harvest so many things, Mr. Chen really thinks that you can promote this thing.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, because His Majesty's status is relatively noble, so he didn't stay in Xanadu for too long, so he went back to the palace directly.

After His Majesty left, Fu Mingyou looked at Mu Xingzhou and Lord Chen, and said, "Xingzhou, I want to go and see what this sweet potato has become."

It is only two months before the sweet potatoes are harvested, and I don't know how big the sweet potatoes are now.

Mu Xingzhou smiled, then looked at Fu Mingyou curiously, and said, "Is the sweet potato you mentioned earlier really delicious?"

Hearing from Fu Mingyou before, Mu Xingzhou really wanted to eat it.

He also thought the potato he ate before was delicious, soft and suitable for the elderly.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "It's delicious, and it's even better than this sweet potato."

He is more inclined to eat sweet potatoes, which are more delicious than potatoes, whether they are baked or boiled, they are very delicious and sweet.

Mu Xingzhou nodded, and the group went straight to the sweet potato place.

When growing sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes before, Fu Mingyou asked Mu Xingzhou to grow some sweet potatoes, so that he could get more sweet potato seedlings in the future, so that he could continue planting.

After arriving at the place where the sweet potatoes were, Fu Mingyou told Heizi and Zhuzi to dig out the sweet potatoes, because the sweet potatoes were all on top of a high mound. The second dug out the potatoes.

Fu Mingyou felt that it was almost done, so he asked the two of them to stop.

"Is this the sweet potato?"

Mu Xingzhou looked at the lump in front of him and immediately asked, these sweet potatoes are about half a palm long, and they are quite round.

Fu Mingyou directly picked up one, then took out his own dagger and wiped it, cut a bit of the sweet potato, and tasted it.

"Although this sweet potato is raw, it is still edible. Try it."

Raw sweet potatoes also have a sweet taste. Mu Xingzhou took a tentative bite, then widened his eyes, smiled, and said, "It tastes good, sweet."

The current sweet potatoes have not yet reached full maturity, but they are already very large. I have to say that the land in the suburbs of Beijing is still very fertile. Of course, there are also small ones. Small ones are about as long as a finger. Then it's not too big.

Fu Mingyou looked at the sweet potatoes in front of him, and said, "Put these sweet potatoes away, and think about how to make these sweet potatoes into seedlings."

Because the sweet potatoes are not big, Fu Mingyou didn't let everyone taste it, and there is no rush to taste it when it is ripe.

The sweet potatoes are not very big now, Fu Mingyou thinks to dig them out in mid to late November, when they are almost ripe.

"Master Chen, I would like to trouble you to take the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn back and think about how to make seedlings."

Fu Mingyou looked at Mr. Chen at the side, and said with a smile.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and he is really not good at this thing, but Mr. Chen and the others are indeed experts in this field.

Fu Mingyou told the other party everything he knew.The seedlings of this sweet potato should have been buried in the soil, and the potatoes also germinated.

Master Chen stuffed the dozen or so sweet potatoes into his bosom fearfully, and immediately said, "Master Fu, I'll go back and think about it."

Since this thing is related to the food of the common people, Mr. Chen will never underestimate it. This thing is very important, and he can feel it just by his attitude towards His Majesty.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "Then please trouble Master Chen."

Fortunately, Li Guo has a special agricultural department, otherwise he would definitely not be able to do it by himself.

After everyone left, Mr. Chen rushed to the Agriculture Department with these things in his arms.

Fu Mingyou didn't go to the palace, but walked around Xanadu with Mu Xingzhou, and at the same time asked everyone to put away the corn.

"The corn has to be broken into pieces."

Fu Mingyou took out a corn cob mallet, and then demonstrated it to everyone.

This has to be ground into powder. Fortunately, there are stone mills now, and it doesn't require much effort from everyone. It's just that when sowing corn kernels, it is a bit laborious.

But for Heizi and others, it was not a big deal, they were also very good at doing farm work.

Although the living conditions with Fu Mingyou have become very good in the past few years, they used to do farm work when they were young.

The corn kernels were about to be broken off, so Fu Mingyou planned to keep some of them as seeds, and make some for himself to eat as a taste.

Of course, most of them are kept as seeds, after all, there are not many corn kernels.

Fu Mingyou really didn't know how these corn kernels turned into seeds, so he had to go to the plane system to check after he returned. If Master Chen encountered any problems, he could help.

Because of this incident, Fu Mingyou has been running to the Ministry of Agriculture recently.

"Master Fu, you are here."

None of the people in the Ministry of Agriculture have very good official positions, and this is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry. Fu Mingyou really hasn't been here on weekdays. It just happened to be something, so I came here today to have a look.

Fu Mingyou greeted Master Chen with a smile, and then said, "Master Chen has already planted sweet potatoes?"

The seedlings of sweet potatoes are planted in the ground, and then grow out.

"Yes, it has been planted, and now it is watered."

Master Chen nodded, and immediately brought over the potatoes that he brought back earlier, and said, "But this potato hasn't shown signs of sprouting yet."

"It's okay, it will probably take a while."

This potato is more durable than ordinary vegetables, so it will take a while for it to sprout.

After Fu Mingyou talked about the corn, he left.

For corn, he can only let the other party try it. After all, the technology is limited, and many things are really difficult to be like in modern society.

However, Fu Mingyou is very satisfied with the current situation, even if the corn cannot be grown in the end, the other things are enough.

Now the cotton has been harvested, before Mu Xingzhou sent all the cotton balls to Fu's house.

Fu Mingyou asked some maids to come over and sort the cotton, and the cotton needed to be taken out of it.

"Daddy, what is this?"

It was the first time for Xiaotangyuan and Xiaobao to see such a thing, and it was soft when rubbed in their hands.

Fu Mingyou smiled, rubbed the other person's head, and explained: "This is called cotton, and it can be used to make clothes and bedding. With this, winter days will be easier."

For ordinary people, the cold winter season is the hardest. If there is cotton, then everything will be easy to say.

Xiao Tangyuan nodded half-understood, and Fu Mingyou hugged the other side directly, saying: "Come on, Daddy will teach you to read, Xiaobao is also here, I will test the teacher."

Now both of them are in private schools. Although Xiao Tangyuan is young, the other party is still very smart.

All the ministers knew about His Majesty's departure from the palace.

Mu Shangshu didn't hear anything from His Majesty, but he knew that Fu Mingyou was busy, but he didn't know what the other party was busy with. He was very curious for a while, so he asked his son directly.

"Xingzhou, what is Xiao Fu busy with now? Is it the things you planted before?"

Mu Shangshu sat aside and asked curiously.

Mu Xingzhou was stunned by the movements in his hands, then smiled and said, "Father, some of the things that Mingyou asked me to plant before are for food, and some are said to be used to keep out the cold."

"To keep out the cold? What to eat?" Mu Shangshu was stunned for a moment. The other party's span is quite large. He was still in the Imperial Academy before, but now he has gone from books to farmland.

But don't say it, it really looks like the character of the other party.

"How about the food and the things to keep out the cold? Have you eaten and used it before?"

Mu Shangshu didn't see those things, but based on his guess, Mu Xingzhou must have seen them all.

Mu Xingzhou nodded with a smile, and said: "I've seen it before. When His Majesty was out of the palace, Mingyou made it for His Majesty once. The food tastes really good, mainly because the yield per mu is very high. As for the cotton to keep out the cold , I don’t know how to use it yet, but it has already been sent to Mingyou’s house.”

"It turns out that this is what His Majesty went out for."

Mu Shangshu nodded clearly, then grasped the key words Mu Xingzhou said, and said, "The yield per mu is very high, how much can it reach?"

Mu Xingzhou thought for a while and said, "Each one can weigh about five or six hundred catties."

"Five or six hundred catties?" Mu Shangshu was stunned, and then said: "It's okay, I thought it would be a thousand catties."

Some well-maintained farmland can yield five or six hundred catties a year.

Looking at his father, Mu Xingzhou didn't seem surprised, smiled, and said: "This is just an estimate. I planted half an acre of land before, and the harvest was close to [-], but Mingyou said that this was only the first batch. Seeds are like this, and the seedlings in the future may not be so much."

The seeds that Fu Mingyou gave before were all exchanged from the plane system, so the harvest is of course very good. If you use the fruits that have been produced to grow seedlings, there may not be so many.

Mu Shangshu understood it, and then said: "Okay, you can do it with Xiaofu. This is a big matter for the country and the people, so do it well."

Mu Xingzhou had been doing business before, and he also did it with Fu Mingyou. Although this farming job seemed simple, it was really difficult, and Mu Xingzhou also participated in these things, which can be regarded as credit.

Sometimes Mu Shangshu really felt that Mu Xingzhou's luck was not bad, and he made a lot of famous tricks with Fu Mingyou.

Now people in the capital don't know Xanadu. Who doesn't know that Fu Mingyou and Mu Xingzhou are good friends, and even the Mu family is getting a bit of a buzz.

However, the Mu family's status is good, and this is just icing on the cake.

But for Mu Shangshu, he was very happy that his son could do these things.

Seeing his father's happy expression, Mu Xingzhou touched his nose, but didn't say anything.

After the servants of the Fu's family took out all the cotton, each of them was picked very clean without any dirt.

"Mother, do you know any good weavers?"

Fu Mingyou looked at the white group cotton in front of him, and went directly to Xia Mu.

He would still mess with the quilt, but the weaving really made it difficult for him.

The main reason is that he doesn't know how to use textile machines, otherwise he can really give it a try.

"Oh, weaving?" Mother Xia thought for a while, then clapped her hands, and said, "Don't tell me, I really know someone who can weave."

"Then can you please ask my mother to come to the door, I have something to ask her for help."

Fu Mingyou had no choice but to find someone outside because none of the people in the family could weave.

Of course, in order to keep it secret, he would just take out some cotton. The other party only saw the cotton, but didn't know what it was.

Upon hearing this, Mother Xia smiled and said, "No problem, I'll go find her now."

Fu Mingyou nodded in response, waiting for the other party to come to the door.

After about two quarters of an hour, Mother Xia came over with a middle-aged aunt.

"Ming You, this is the Sister Qian I just told you about."

The Aunt Qian whom Xia's mother called over looked a bit reserved, and it was her first time entering such a family. She did not expect that Li Meizi, who usually played with them, would have such a powerful brother-in-law.

"Hello, Aunt Qian." Fu Mingyou arched his hands, and then said directly; "My surname is Fu, and the main reason I came to you is..."

Fu Mingyou talked about the weaving. Of course, if the other party is not willing, he will not force it. After he finished speaking, Aunt Qian hesitated, and said directly: "I'll try it first, but it's just a new one." I'm also a little unsure about that."

Fu Mingyou said before that it was a new thing, but she made linen cloth before, but she really didn't know if she could make this cotton cloth.

"It's okay, Auntie can try it first."

Fu Mingyou shook his head with a smile, sometimes this thing cannot be forced, if the other party can't get it out, he can't make it difficult for the other party.

The loom Fu Mingyou was ready, so he asked Aunt Qian to take the cotton and try it out.

Since it was already afternoon, Fu Mingyou directly invited the other party to stay at home, and at the same time promised to pay the other party 50 taels no matter whether he could get this thing out or not.

Don't look at 50 taels as if it's nothing in the capital, but for ordinary people like Aunt Qian, it's still a lot.

Because Aunt Qian stayed, Fu Mingyou handed over the other party's affairs to Aunt Li. With Aunt Li around, Fu Mingyou was still very relieved.

Now that Fu Mingyou's health has recovered, it's time to go to work.

"Mingyou, are you feeling better?"

Xu You'an saw that his friend had started working, he couldn't help smiling, and asked with concern.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "It's much better. It was almost as good when you and Zichen came to my house before."

He was just resting at home in the name of recovering from his injuries.
