Chapter 70 Yumai
After picking the August melon, Xie Qingyu felt much better.

The appetite seemed to follow suit.

He took a sesame seed cake and gnawed on it.

She decided that when she passed through the next state, she would buy some seasonings and a pot for storage.

Otherwise, she would have had enough of making pancakes and steamed buns every day.

After this experience, Xie Qingyu decided that it would be more reliable to search in the mountains.

So in the next trip, Xie Qingyu took the people from Si Nongsi to search for it on the mountain.

When she arrived in the last state and prepared to return, she had already collected chestnuts, fake physalis, and fungus.

She is going to Mulin Village tomorrow.

When the farm tools were distributed today, the granddaughter of the head of Mulin Village also came and sat in the car.

What attracted Xie Qingyu's attention to her was the corn on the cob she held in her hand.

Not as big as the present world, but small and exquisite.

It is about the same size as the corn used to play in this world.

She walked over to talk to the little girl, and learned from the little girl that it was something called jade wheat.

Momoo in her family likes to eat very much.

When grandpa saw it, he broke some and went home.

After trying it myself, I brought it to her to eat.

Because of the rush, I got some for her as dry food.

That's why Xie Qingyu saw her holding corn on the cob.

After Xie Qingyu found out, he went to discuss with the village head of Mulin Village.

Decided to go with them to Mulin Village tomorrow.

It is also because the village head of Mulin Village is righteous.

If this is a stingy person, who would be willing to give away what he found.

On the second day, Master Ning and the others were preparing to leave for Beijing.

But because of the corn, Xie Qingyu decided to stay and go to have a look.

Because of Xie Qingyu's decision, the people from Sinongsi naturally followed suit.

He is going to go to Mulin Village with Xie Qingyu.

When she came to the village, Xie Qingyu asked the village head to take her to see if she could not wait to rest.

Although Xie Qingyu was not much older than his granddaughter, the people who brought her all called her an adult, and there were many servants around her.

The village head didn't dare to be negligent, so he took them and walked towards the place where Yumai was found in the past.

Followed the village chief through a mountain forest and came to a mountain depression.

Xie Qingyu saw the slim corn stalks at a glance, with corn bales on them.

Xie Qingyu couldn't wait to walk over, spotted one that had dried up, and tore off the coat, revealing rows of white and shiny corn kernels.

"Village chief, it doesn't look like much, so don't eat it, and keep it for seeding. Planting is also very simple, and it will be ready when it is planted next year."

Xie Qingyu looked at the few corns, and told the village chief not to break them and eat them, but to keep them all for planting.

The village chief nodded, "My elder son and I also think the same way. We feel that this jade wheat is very sweet when boiled, and the key is to keep you full."

"Leave some seeds to plant next spring, and there will be more food to eat, and the family will not be afraid of starvation."

Xie Qingyu nodded, "Jade wheat can not only be boiled and eaten directly, but also can be ground into flour like wheat, mixed with water and steamed in a pot. Steamed in a wok, it can be eaten like rice after steaming.”

"However, the taste of Yumai noodles is rougher, not as delicate as rice, but it also has a special taste. It is also a good choice for cooking porridge."

After talking about how to eat corn, Xie Qingyu looked at the few corns in the valley and asked:
"By the way, village chief, is this jade wheat glutinous or non-glutinous? Besides here, are there other places?"

The village chief shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be waxy, so it's tender and delicious, but when it's a little older, it's hard and can't be chewed."

After looking at the well-grown corn, the village head continued:
"Originally, we were going to search in the mountains again, but we didn't expect the town to notify the villages to go to the state capital, saying that they were to receive the new farm tools issued by the imperial court. The search for jade and wheat was delayed, so we temporarily Just found it here."

After hearing the words of the village chief, they decided to search further, but they were told by the village chief that there were ferocious beasts deep in the forest.

After learning that there was a large beast in the mountain, the few people gave up the idea and planned to take a look at the edge.

The end result is naturally nothing.

Xie Qingyu and the others had no choice but to go back to the mountain depression, broke off a dozen corns and brought them out, and told the village chief about the fact that poultry and livestock manure can be used as fertilizer.

When leaving, the village head asked in detail how to get the plant ash and fertilizer, and after some understanding, he sent Xie Qingyu and others away with a smile.

This trip was not without harvest, at least they found a plant called corn.

Back in the capital, Xie Qingyu told Zhao Yitian about the corn, and Zhao Yitian was very happy when he learned about it.

He ordered to reward the family of the village head of Mulin Village, and ordered Si Nong to go to guide the planting next spring, so as to ensure the survival rate of the seeds.

In the following days, Xie Qingyu resumed her school days.

But because I only study literature in the morning, I only start learning martial arts in the afternoon.

Xie Qingyu didn't go to the palace directly.

Every day, I just follow Ying Yi and the others to learn martial arts and practice kung fu.

From winter to spring, the potatoes that Xie Qingyu planted are the size of eggs, and the wheat has begun to ear, and it will be possible to dig in another month.

Spring planting is about to start.

Fertilizer is decomposed, because all kinds of feces in this world are piled up in pits, so they are naturally decomposed.

However, if new crops are to be planted in the field, the potatoes and wheat that have been planted must be harvested before the land can be leveled for a new round of planting.

So Xie Qingyu asked the manager of the village to sort out the warehouse in advance, so as to welcome the next harvest.

The previously prepared grain store has also been put into use, and the newly harvested potatoes and wheat are spare stocks.

Because the wheat and potatoes in Xiejia Farm were successfully planted, and the growth was also very good.

The emperor decreed that all those who were going to plant earth egg wheat should add plant ash and farmyard manure like Xie Qingyu planted.

He was also afraid that the people would not be able to grasp the quantity, so he asked the people from Sinong to guide him.

But the number of people in the Sinong Division is really limited, so Xie Qingyu wrote a detailed tutorial and presented it to the emperor.

It contains details on how potatoes, corn, and wheat are grown.

However, just to be on the safe side, the emperor still let the soldiers of Sinong Division divide into eight groups and go to guide them.

Xie Qingyu wanted to transplant the August melon that he discovered last time, so he chose to continue going north.

This time Zheng Shaoyun planned to stay and take care of the colorful fruits he planted, but unexpectedly he was arranged to go out to teach.

After returning to the capital, Xie Qingyu made a spicy hot pot with colorful peppers.

Zheng Shaoyun was instantly conquered.

After eating light cuisine for nearly 20 years, my appetite was whetted by a hot pot, and I became very spicy and displeased.

What I think about every day is to eat spicy hot pot again.

But because there are too few colorful fruits, the hot pot is almost used up in one session, so Zheng Shaoyun's little wish has never been realized.
