"Minnu, see your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

when they saw Li Chen, Liu Sichun and others immediately put down their affairs and came to see them.

after seeing a young man behind Liu Sichun who looked respectfully and excitedly, and dared not look down at him, Li Chen said, "it's all free."

"your Highness, this is Liu Sida, the second brother of Minnu. This time he went to Zhejiang and Fujian to pick and buy sweet potato seedlings. He worked hard all the way."

under the introduction of Liu Sichun, Liu Sida came to Li Chen, respectfully saluted again, and excitedly said, "Cao Min Liu Sida has met his Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Gift free."

Li Chen looked at Liu Sichun thoughtfully and said, "how many seedlings have been purchased this time"

Liu Sida hurriedly replied, "there are more than 400 seedlings in total. Apart from those lost along the way, there are still more than 380 seedlings that have survived, and the grass people have invited local farmers with experience in planting to sow the seeds themselves."

Li Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "not bad." Although

is only two words, it has already excited Liu Sida.

"it's just your Highness, can it really be planted in such a cold weather" Liu Sichun asked.

Li Chen said with a smile: "of course, you can, otherwise I will ask you to prepare so much to do."

said, Li Chen took Su Jinpa to the edge of the field.

although it has been cleaned up, the snow is muddy and the edge of the field, so the ground is naturally not very clean.

not twice, Li Chen's boots and trouser legs have been stained with mud, and Su Jinpa around him is not much better.

it's just that neither of them cares about these details.

Su Jinpa looked curiously at the similar construction of the greenhouse in the field and asked, "your Highness, what does this mean"

"I named it the greenhouse."

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({}); < Li Chen pointed to the newly built frame in the field and said, "use delicate, soft but tough bamboo strips as a skeleton, tie each other tightly to each other, and then cover it with a glass bronze mirror that is hand-polished to transparent."

"in this way, it not only does not block the sunlight, but also isolates the internal and external temperature, and provides a good and suitable ambient temperature for the internal plants."

"therefore, as long as you take care of it properly, it is no longer impossible to eat watermelons in winter." Su Jinpa, who is next to

, feels more magical as he listens to it.

not only she, but also Li Kesou, Liu Sichun and others who are in charge of construction, no one knows the real use of this thing.

now Li Chenyi explains that everyone thinks it's incredible.

everyone knows that watermelons are crops in summer and need hot weather to grow. It is impossible to eat watermelons in winter.

but this thing under the Prince's Hall can actually grow vegetables, melons and fruits against the season. is there such a magical thing

originally, the best material for making a greenhouse was plastic film, but in this day and age, plastic could not be produced, and Li Chen was not a chemical talent, so after thinking about it, he could only be polished manually with bronze mirrors. although it was time-consuming and costly, the good news was that he only temporarily reclaimed an experimental field, but it didn't cost much.

Li Chen came to the greenhouse, and everyone followed. He only felt a little stuffy inside, but he could obviously feel that the inside was much warmer than the outside.

taking out a handful of seedlings, Li Chen turned to Su Jinpa and said, "this thing is called sweet potato, and because it is from a foreign country, it is also called sweet potato, which is 20 times better than grain because it is dozens of stones per mu. Moist edible, or boiled or ground into powder, raw food such as kudzu, cooked food such as honey, taste like water chestnuts. "

"it was originally annual, but if it is properly fertilized and taken care of, the harvest time can be shortened to half a year. Coupled with its strong adaptability, it can be planted in most parts of China. Jinpa, do you think it will be a blessing for the Qin Dynasty if it is popularized on a large scale"bluntly, in the eyes of Sanbao and saints, he is just an ordinary man who is powerless, so he does not have any sense of qi.(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []).
