Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 536: ：When did you grow up

At this time, Chunxiao brought some snacks over.

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up, he picked out a piece of white fruit and handed it to his cousin.

Zhou Linghuai looked at the piece of fruit that was handed to his mouth, and then looked at the little girl, smiling with crooked eyebrows, but he didn't know that there were no brothers and sisters, only loving couples.

He curled his lips slightly and ate the fruit piece that was handed to him.

When he finished eating, Yu Youyao couldn't wait to ask: "Is it delicious?"

Zhou Linghuai nodded slightly: "The heart is crispy and juicy, and its taste is sweet, like water chestnuts. It tastes very special. I have never eaten this thing before. What is it?"

Yu Youyao immediately beamed and said: "This fruit is called sweet potato, which is somewhat similar to yam. They are both roots that grow in the soil. They are sweet and juicy. They are not a product of the Zhou Dynasty."

Zhou Linghuai was a little surprised: "I thought it was a fruit, but I didn't expect it to be an agricultural product. How did you get it?"

When mentioning this, Yu Youyao smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Some time ago, I owned a merchant ship and followed a group of merchant ships from the Xie Mansion to Luzon. The local merchants took this kind of sweet potato called "Sweet Potato". The precious food was served to the stewards on the merchant ships. After the steward tasted it, he thought the sweet potatoes were delicious, so he tried to exchange a lot of them with the local merchants. At the end of the year, they were sent to the mansion along with the New Year's gift. At first, there was no one in the mansion. No one cares if they know what it is."

Sweet potatoes are a regulated product in the local area, so they are not easy to obtain. The manager probably thinks that the items are very precious, so he also exchanges a lot of them.

Zhou Linghuai chuckled: "What happened next?"

Yu Youyao smiled again: "Yesterday, too, the servants mistook sweet potatoes for purple taro, and discovered that sweet potatoes are fresher and sweeter than sweet potatoes. Nanny Xu was very interested, so she tried various ways to make them, and found that whether they were eaten raw, It can be steamed, fried, boiled, grilled or stir-fried. They are all very delicious." After that, she picked up another fried golden ball: "These are the sweet potato **** made by Grandma Xu according to the method of deep-fried taro balls. Cousin, please try it out."

The fried meatballs were neither too big nor too small, just enough for one bite. Zhou Linghuai took a bite of the meatballs with a smile in his eyes: "Eat it after frying. It is fragrant, glutinous, soft and sweet, and has a completely different taste. It is a good thing."

Yu Youyao also smiled: "Cousin, this food is not only delicious, but also very hungry. I ate two fist-sized sweet potatoes yesterday morning and couldn't eat anymore. At noon, I still didn't feel hungry, so I sent I went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing and invited the steward of the merchant ship to come into the house and asked about the specific situation of sweet potatoes."

The merchant ship belongs to Yu Youyao. Sailing on the sea is very hard and risky.

Every quarter, people who come to Beijing with merchant ships will stay in Beijing to recuperate for about two to three months. The host family will also find a doctor to take care of their health.

Zhou Linghuai knew that Yu Youyao attached great importance to the cultivation of new species distributed by the imperial court every year, and specially arranged people to do this. When he saw new species that were fresh, delicious, and resistant to hunger, he would inevitably have the idea of ​​planting them.

Sure enough, Yu Youyao got excited and took her cousin's arm: "The farming industry in Luzon is not as developed as in the Zhou Dynasty. The planting of sweet potatoes is also very simple. In April and May every year, they are buried in the ground. Just leave it alone and let it grow naturally. The growth of sweet potatoes does not require soil bags. It can also be grown in many poor areas in Luzon. One plant can bear two to five fruits, and small fruits can only It is the size of a baby’s fist, and the largest fruit is as big as an adult’s palm.”

Zhou Linghuai was so smart that he immediately understood what the little girl was thinking: "In other words, sweet potatoes are resistant to barrenness and hunger, and can maintain harvests despite droughts and floods, and the yield is not low."

Yu Youyao’s eyes suddenly shone: “Yes!”

There was a fire in the little girl's eyes, like a fire, burning Zhou Linghuai, and even his heart beat a little faster. The delusional thoughts that were suppressed in his heart entangled him, making it difficult for him to breathe. .

Zhou Linghuai stared at her.

Maybe it was because my cousin’s eyes were so penetrating that it made Yu Youyao’s scalp numb and her cheeks a little hot: “Cousin, cousin, what are you staring at me for?”

Zhou Linghuai sighed slightly: "When will I grow up?"

Aren’t you talking about sweet potatoes?

Why did the topic get here?

Yu Youyao was confused and looked at her cousin innocently: "I am ten years old, so I am not too young."

Sure enough, she was still an inexperienced little girl. Zhou Linghuai suppressed the delusions in his heart, but he could not suppress the remaining impulse in his heart.

He stretched out his hand and stroked it gently. The little girl's dark green eyebrows were curved like a moon hook. One look at her, and she felt that the bright moonlight was so bright.

When she smiles, her crescent-shaped eyebrows look like hooks, which is so beautiful.

Yu Youyao felt itchy between her eyebrows, and even her voice was trembling: "Cousin, cousin?"

Zhou Linghuai took back his hand and asked: "The Luozi Dai you are using today?"

Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips: "Well, it's the distant mountain snail that my cousin gave me yesterday. It's green in color. After it's dyed, it looks even brighter and more beautiful. Isn't it nice?"

On the basis of the original Luo Zi Dai, my cousin added five more shades of shades, and Yuanshan Luo is one of them. After dyeing this eyebrow dye, my eyebrows look like Yuanshan Cuidai, with dark green and translucent green. Jing Yanya, very beautiful.

This is a New Year gift from my cousin.

She really likes it.

Zhou Linghuai smiled. If he had been older, he would have been even more stunning.

Yu Youyao thought of sweet potatoes again, and continued what she had just finished: "Cousin, cousin, I plan to take some sweet potatoes and try to plant them in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and use different soils for high-quality cultivation. If sweet potatoes are really like a business As it is said, it can withstand barrenness and hunger, maintain harvests from droughts and floods, and has large yields. Can it be promoted in the northern border?"

The northern border is mostly made up of sandy land and halo-alkali land, so the products are not rich. If sweet potatoes are grown without choosing land, then some of the people's livelihood problems in the northern border can be solved.

If anyone else had eaten sweet potato, they would probably think it was good and delicious.

Not many people will think about the advantages of this thing, want to cultivate it, and plant it.

But Yu Youyao meets.

Yu Youyao knew that due to the lack of supplies in the north, not only the people were having a hard time, but even the You army was also having a very difficult time due to the lack of military supplies.

So, she is very concerned about the imperial court’s annual cultivation of new species~IndoMTL.com~.

I have always wanted to cultivate crops suitable for growing in the north and promote their planting.

Yu Youyao had read a lot of farming books before and saw records about growing cotton in halo-alkali land, so he went to Zhuangzi and found farmers who were proficient in growing cotton to conduct experiments.

Although, the results are not ideal.

However, the cotton also bore fruit, which proved that her idea was correct.

Most of the cotton in the Zhou Dynasty was produced in Long Province. Yu Youyao immediately sent people to Long Province to learn cotton planting technology.

As long as the technology is good, it is definitely feasible to grow cotton in halo-alkali land.

Who wouldn’t like such a pure and bright girl? !

Zhou Linghuai chuckled: "Okay!"

————————Digression——————

Continue to ask for monthly tickets! I wrote about the plot of growing up, but I was not satisfied with it no matter how I wrote it. I reluctantly wrote two chapters and updated them first, so that everyone would not have to wait too long for the next chapter of growing up.

Sweet potatoes were introduced to China via merchant ships during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that they were introduced from Luzon (Philippines) and were called sweet potatoes. Later, because they were introduced from foreign countries, they were renamed sweet potatoes.

The Chinese are naturally good at planting. In Luzon, I heard that the yield is very small, the control is very strict, and the introduction of the species is not allowed. In China, within two years, it has been almost promoted. Most areas in the country.

There are some historical records of growing cotton in saline-alkali land, and it is not groundless~
