Live as the emperor

Chapter 266

Time passed day by day, and the seedlings grew up day by day. Chen Guang took care of them more carefully, and even built a house for the seedlings in the field of the East Palace, with people around them constantly waiting for the fire.

This is to maintain the temperature. After all, whether it is a sweet potato or a potato, temperature is needed for fruiting. This is why most plants are sown in spring. They need high temperature in summer to grow.The seedlings planted by Chen Guang basically only had time to catch the tail of summer. After all the seedlings bubbled up, autumn had already arrived.

Autumn is the season when fruits mature, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted by Chen Guang have just grown leaves. If they want to bear fruit, it may take a long time.

Chen Guang was not in a hurry. The ability to germinate proved that there was no problem with the planting method, and there was no problem with the planting location. Even if the fruit was not large or even fruitless, Chen Guang would not be so depressed.Because in the spring of the next year, the seeds can be sown immediately, and when they are harvested in the fall of next year, the ministers and emperors can take a good look at what high yield is.

But this time, even if it doesn't produce fruit, it is still useful. For example, the lush leaves, sweet potato leaves, fried with lard, the taste will definitely make people drool.

Chen Ang, who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, wondered how he would react to such a dish.

This is the magic of sweet potatoes, not only the fruit can be used and the yield is high, even the leaves are also a very delicious dish, whether it is stewed or fried, the taste is very good.But I'm afraid that most people still can't enjoy the fresh fragrance of cooking.

In fact, Chen Guang has always had the idea of ​​building a steel factory to improve steel. After all, in the days to come, whether it is agricultural tools or weapons, having good steel is crucial to the development of industry.It's just that now he has spent all his thoughts on the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

This day, which was about October, was already a bit cold. Not long after Chen Guang woke up, there seemed to be wisps of fog in the yard.He went to look at the seedlings in the yard. Because there was a flame not far away and the temperature was kept very high, the sweet potatoes grew well, and the leaves turned dark green, half the size of a palm.

"It seems that in a few days we will be able to pick the leaves and send them to the palace for the emperor and queen to taste." Chen Guang had already planned a place for these sweet potato leaves in his heart.

After watching for a while, the servant girl came over to ask him to eat, before he had gone a few steps, he saw a person rushing in from the outside, seeing Chen Guang in the yard, he walked over and said, "It's not good, Your Highness the Crown Prince. "

Chen Guang couldn't help frowning, what's wrong with this early morning, it's unlucky!His tone suddenly became a little bad, and he asked bluntly, "What's wrong?"

That person didn't have the time to understand Chen Guang's subtle emotional changes, and he seemed to really have something important to report, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to hear Chen Guang's tone.

"The sweet potatoes and potatoes planted by the Hope Project were destroyed."

The names of sweet potatoes and potatoes have long been spread through Chen Ang's mouth. Although everyone has not seen these two things, they already know that there will be two types of food in the near future, and they only need to grow a little The kind of food that can make the whole family no longer hungry, one is called sweet potato, and the other is called potato.

Sweet Potatoes and Potatoes Ruined?

Hearing this news, Chen Guang was of course very angry. Which blind guy dared to break ground on Tai Sui?I am the prince of the court, one person is under ten thousand people, and someone dares to destroy the things I hope to project. It is simply an old birthday boy committing suicide, and his life is too long!
"What? Who did it?" Chen Guang's voice was very low, and anyone who knew him would know that this was a sign of his losing his temper.

The man said: "It's still under investigation."

Chen Guang waved his hand and said, "Go, go and have a look."

He walked outside with this man, and Min'er just came out, and saw that Chen Guang was about to go out, so she said, "Why are you going, you haven't eaten yet."

"I'll go to the Hope Project to eat." Chen Guang replied, and then ordered someone to lead the horse and rushed to the Hope Project.

Yang Rong was anxiously waiting for Chen Guang's arrival at the gate. As soon as Chen Guang arrived at the gate, he immediately went to the front, helped Chen Guang get off the horse, and said anxiously: "It's not good..."

He just opened his mouth, but Chen Guang interrupted him and said: "Okay, I know, let's go and see first."

So they soon came to the vegetable field.

The current vegetable field is different from when Chen Guang came last time. The surrounding area is surrounded by stones, which are about knee height. It can hold back the river water that washes over due to the flooding of the river.

And because of the use of silt to supplement nutrients, the color of the land where vegetables are grown is darker than the surrounding land.

At this moment, the vegetable field is already a mess, which makes people very worried.

Yang Rong felt ashamed that he couldn't even take good care of this vegetable field. He knelt down in front of Chen Guang and said, "Your lack of supervision has caused the garden to be poisoned. Please punish the prince."

Chen Guang is not such an unreasonable person, he will not blame others without moving.Although the destruction of the vegetable garden was heartbreaking, he knew it was not Yang Rong's fault.

"Get up, it's not your fault." Chen Guang said as he entered the vegetable garden to observe the damage of these potatoes and sweet potatoes at close range.

I saw that the leaves of the sweet potatoes that were growing well were broken and torn, and the whole body was basically gone.Some of the land has been turned over to reveal the fruit inside.

Chen Guang observed carefully, frowned slightly, then raised his head to look at the lush forest not far away.There are already trees that have begun to lose their leaves, but there are also many trees that do not lose their leaves, keeping the forest as green as ever.

He pulled out a sweet potato, and on the sweet potato vine in the middle, there were already more than a dozen sweet potatoes, but perhaps due to malnutrition or insufficient sunshine time, these sweet potatoes are currently only the size of quail eggs. There is a considerable gap in the description of the fist size.

Fortunately, whether it is sweet potatoes or potatoes, they are all "tubers for seeds". These small sweet potatoes can be used for eating or as seeds, and they will continue to be sown next year.Sweet potatoes also have a very powerful ability - even if there is no sweet potato tuber, even if there is only a section of healthy vines, it can grow into a complete sweet potato when planted in the ground.

While Chen Guang was observing, Yang Rong also came over. Seeing that Chen Guang was silent, he asked cautiously, "His Royal Highness..."
