Chapter 139 Growing Potatoes
She had started germinating the potatoes since she got them from Chunzao last time, and she was worried that they would fail.
After all, she had only grown sweet potatoes and never potatoes. It was her first time to germinate potatoes. It was not until Xunmian said that sprouts had grown on the potatoes that she was sure that she had succeeded.
She looked at the sprouts growing on the potatoes and smiled with satisfaction. Although these potatoes could only be planted in a small piece of land, she could continue to plant them after the potatoes were harvested.
Potatoes have a high yield and are easy to grow. Their growing period is one month shorter than that of sweet potatoes, so they can at least solve the problem of food shortage to a certain extent.
After getting the potatoes, Lin Jin directly asked someone to cultivate a piece of land in the Bikong Courtyard. She planned to plant the potatoes right under her nose and watch them personally. Although it would affect the appearance a little, she didn't mind.
She cut the potatoes into pieces and planted them, covering them with soil: "We will be able to see the results in two or three months."
Potatoes had not yet entered the summer, and no one had discovered the edible nature of potatoes, so Xunmian couldn't understand why Lin Jin was so cautious with these potatoes: "Miss, what is this thing that deserves your attention?"
Lin Jin looked at the row of small earthen slopes and said with a smile, "This is great stuff. It can save a lot of people. We can dig it out in two or three months. Then everyone can eat the first bunch of potatoes."
Let these girls taste it first so that the amount can be evenly distributed.
Potatoes have a short planting cycle and high yield. Although the conditions of this era may only allow them to be preserved for more than a month, the first two advantages alone are enough.
"It would be nice to have sweet potatoes." They can be stored longer and have a good yield. Although they cannot be used as a staple food like potatoes, they have their own advantages.
Lin Jin smiled and shook his head: "Sure enough, you are too greedy. Let's take it slow."
There is still a long time to go, and she will definitely find the sweet potatoes. If she can't find them, she will beg Chunzao to see if she can get them. Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, and can be planted directly by pinching the seedlings. Sweet potato leaves can also be used as vegetables. They are rich in vitamins and can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
She asked Song Shiqiu yesterday if he could solve the water problem. She wanted to improve the saline-alkali land, or if he could help her find more related books. Maybe she could find some traditional methods to neutralize the saline-alkali land. Even though the hope was slim, she had to give it a try.
"Now that the girls say that, we are a little bit looking forward to it." Although Xunmian didn't know whether this potato was really that powerful, why bother about it? As long as the girls were happy, that was all that mattered.
Xing Er also smiled and teased Ping Wu and Lan Xi who were as dumb as a log: "Did you hear that? Only by following the girl can you enjoy this good fortune."
Lin Jin watched the four little girls playing around, her eyes full of smiles. In her opinion, they were really no different from little sisters: "Tomorrow I will go to worship Buddha with Sister Shi Xia, and I am a little excited."
The two words in front of the Huguo Temple sound very impressive. To be named Huguo, it must have made some contributions.
Lin Jin once again experienced the pain of getting up early when she first went to the academy. She looked at the sky before dawn, her eyes full of pain, but she still resigned herself to her fate and got up, dressed and washed. After getting dressed, she did not forget to take all the things she had prepared with her.
Well, it's a little heavy, but a reassuring kind of heavy.
Lin Jin went to Fuyun Court to look for Song Shixia, and happened to meet Qiuyue escorting Song Shixia out with a lantern. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister Shixia."
Song Shixia smiled and said, "I was just about to go look for you."
Lin Jin looked at Song Shixia's clothes and frowned: "Sister, why don't you wear two more pieces? It's getting a little colder now."
"It's not that cold yet. This is enough. It will be warmer when the sun comes out." Song Shixia felt that Lin Jin was being too cautious. She smiled helplessly and said, "That's it. It's okay."
Lin Jin shook her head. She didn't want any accidents. "No, put on another one and take it off when it gets hot. What if you catch a cold in the morning? I'll feel bad for you. Go get another cape for Sister Shi Xia."
Qiuyue felt relieved. She had been trying to persuade the girl when she left, but she didn't listen. Fortunately, Miss Lin Liu came. She quickly ordered someone to go back and get the cloak: "Miss, Miss Lin Liu is right. Your body is your own. You must take good care of it."
Song Shixia had no choice but to let Lin Jin help her tie her cloak. Lin Jin even put the hood on her. She looked at Lin Jin, who was facing a formidable enemy, with a smile on her face: "Ajin, you are too cautious."
Lin Jin looked at Song Shixia's dress with satisfaction and pouted: "I don't care. Anyway, you have to listen to me about this matter, sister. Otherwise, I will not be with you and will be unhappy."
"Okay, okay, you're the only one with a bad temper." Song Shixia held Lin Jin's hand, "Now that you're satisfied, can we go out now?"
"Let's go, my dear sister." Lin Jin took Song Shixia's hand and smiled happily.
Although it is called Huguo Temple, it is ultimately a secluded temple far away from the secular world so it is not located in the capital city and can only be reached by leaving the city.
Lin Jin looked at the carriage and the horse-riding retainers following behind, and then she felt relieved. There were about fifty retainers and maids in total, and no one would mess with them unless they were blind.
Although fifty people are not a lot, ordinary bandits dare not approach them. After all, these are not just ordinary warriors, but real fighters.
Lin Jin stood at the foot of the Huguo Temple. She looked at the long steps and took a breath of cold air: "Sister Shi Xia, do you usually walk up like this by yourself?"
Isn't this pure suffering?
Buddha, please forgive her disrespect, she really loves her sister Shi Xia.
"It's not like we can just walk up there in one breath. We can just take a rest when we get tired." Song Shixia smiled and admitted it.
Lin Jin really hated that she didn't have the strength like Xi Lilong, otherwise she would definitely carry Song Shixia up: "Then shall we go up now? Sister, do you want to eat some snacks first to fill your stomach?"
She was really afraid that Song Shixia would have hypoglycemia.
"How can you be so delicate?" Song Shixia held Lin Jin's hand and walked up. Only Qiuyue, Xunmian and four other maids followed them up. The rest of the family soldiers and maids stayed at the foot of the mountain to guard.
Originally, Lin Jin wanted to let Xunmian stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Xunmian was always worried that others would not serve her as well as the four of them, so she insisted on going along. Lin Jin had no choice but to let Xunmian go along.
Lin Jin looked back and said, "Are we the only ones going up?"
"It's a quiet place for Buddhism, it's enough for us to go up. Too many people will disturb the Buddha's peace." Song Shixia explained in a gentle voice.
Lin Jin thought about it and nodded, realizing that it was true.
It’s okay. She will definitely protect Song Shixia. Even if something happens to her, Song Shixia will not be in any danger.
Lin Jin did not continue to care about this, but kept paying attention to Song Shixia's condition. As long as she saw a little fatigue in Song Shixia's eyes, she would start to act like a spoiled child, saying that her feet hurt and pulled Song Shixia to rest.
"Sister, you know, I've rarely traveled far, let alone climbed this mountain road." Lin Jin looked at Song Shixia with tears in her eyes. She was not pretending. This body had really never climbed a mountain road. Although it was a little painful, it was not to the point where she could not move.
Song Shixia wiped Lin Jin's sweat and said nothing: "It's okay, Jin, you can rest if you want."
Although I have to rest more, I can still go up and it won’t have much impact.
"I know you're the best, sister. I love you." Lin Jin hugged Song Shixia exaggeratedly and acted coquettishly, "Then you should sit down and have a rest."
Song Shixia's eyes were full of helplessness. How could she not see Lin Jin's little thoughts? After all, she was the one who made A Jin worry.
When Lin Jin and Song Shixia were resting, they waited for an unexpected person. When Lin Lin saw them, he seemed a little surprised, but it was only for a moment, and then he smiled at Lin Jin: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Sixth Sister."
