The harvests of hybrid grains grown in various places were sent to Qin Wan one after another. Several types of grains with the highest yields were also counted and distributed to various places. Some land was also allocated for cultivation of the second and third generations.
More land was allocated to continue cultivating the third season of hybrid crops.
Qin Wan not only tried to grow grains, but also other kinds of vegetables. The results were not obvious, but there were also several new vegetable varieties that matured very quickly. After only a few days of planting, the tender shoots could be picked and eaten. There were also cabbages and winter melons that grew particularly large, breaking the yield record. This could also be considered a harvest.
Half a month later, the season for harvesting various fruits arrived.
Apples, plums, peaches, grapes...
Some are delicious, some are not. Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines. Their leaves are similar, but their tastes are different.
Due to regional and climatic differences, these fruits have a variety of tastes after hybridization.
Qin Wan specially called Qin Yan and several other brothers and sisters to come over to taste the fruit.
Qin Yan picked up a tiny thing that looked like an apple but was only as small as a child's fist. She took a bite and immediately felt the sour taste, making her face wrinkle. "So sour."
Qin Wan also tasted it: "It's not bitter, let me see if there is anything sweet."
"This one is sweet." Qin Chan handed her a similar fruit, but a little redder. "But it's still a little sour."
Qin Wan also tasted it, chewed it, and then spit it out. She had eaten too many fruits in the past few days. Others could choose not to eat them, but she had to taste them all, otherwise she would not be able to judge which fruits could be eaten and which could not.
After all, although some fruits are sour, they are very stimulating to the taste buds. Even if you can't eat them, you can make something else with them.
Qin Wan and her sisters picked out the delicious ones, the ones that were absolutely inedible, and the ones that needed to be tried again, and finally gave the next task to the manager of the farm.
This year, we also purchased a batch of fruit trees from the south and brought them back for planting. We will graft some and plant some. We will then see how the southern fruits taste when grown in the north and whether there will be any new changes.
Qin Wan had no plans to show the grain to others for the time being, but it was okay with the fruit. She distributed the new fruits to her relatives and friends.
Qin Zhan was very proud of himself. He immediately held a martial arts competition and invited a group of old guys to his home. He specifically asked them to bring the younger generations of the family!
When everyone arrived, the group of old generals realized that they were not meeting in the martial arts field, but in the garden of the marquis's mansion.
General Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you taking advantage of my old age and blurry eyesight and saying I can't appreciate the flowers?"
General Qu said, "What the hell are you doing here? We're lucky we didn't pick any flowers! Old Qin, what the hell did you call us here for? You can't really let a bunch of us roughnecks enjoy the flowers, can you?"
Qin Zhan waved his hand and asked the servants to bring some fruit: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you have to eat and drink enough before the competition? Come, try these fruits."
General Zheng took a look and was surprised to see grapes as big as his fingertips, orange-yellow fruits as big as his fists, and many other fruits that he didn't know what they were. There were also many that were purple on the outside, like hedgehogs, but inside were a bunch of black things that looked like sesame seeds, and some white things.
General Qu was the first to grab a grape and throw it into his mouth: "Oh, this is delicious."
General Zheng took a bite of the yellow fruit and immediately spat it out: "What the hell is this? It tastes so bad!"
Qin Zhan looked at him with disdain: "You should eat more elegantly. This is called mango, and you need to peel it. The one with purple skin is called dragon fruit."
General Zheng glared at him, "How can you entertain guests like that? You didn't even cut the fruit! We're just rough people, so what? Even rough people peel the fruit before eating it!"
Qin Zhan said proudly, "I'm just showing off the fruit my granddaughter gave me. Here are the cut ones."
Qin Zhan clapped his hands again, and then plate after plate of cut fruits were brought up. This time, even the grape skins were peeled clean. The red, green and yellow fruits were placed on exquisite glass plates, with small silver forks inserted. It was so elegant.
General Zheng snorted, turned his head and glared at his grandson, stiffening his neck and saying, "Who doesn't have granddaughters? They also give us fruits and snacks as filial piety!"
Qin Zhan chuckled, his expression so smug that it made people want to punch him: "But these are grown by my granddaughter herself! They are all new varieties of fruit that can't be bought anywhere else!"
General Qu didn't believe it: "We haven't seen this mango before, but I have heard of dragon fruit. Could your granddaughter have bought it from somewhere else?"
Qin Zhan sneered and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe me! Come on, I'll take you to see it!"
Qin Zhan immediately stood up and took them around in circles to the vicinity of the martial arts training ground.
All the fruits Qin Wan had mentioned were planted on the farm, but she had planted a grape vine in the mansion. Now it was growing on the trellis, and bunches of purple grapes were hanging majestically under the trellis, looking particularly beautiful.
Qin Zhan pointed at the grape racks and talked about how hard his granddaughter worked to take care of the fruits. "She's practically grown up on the farm. She's gone for half a month or a month at a time, wearing coarse clothes. By the time she comes back, her hands are all worn out..."
General Zheng secretly rolled his eyes, and the young master Zheng beside him looked constipated. Since they were young, the children of the Qin family were the children of other families.
At first, they compared Qin's brother with them, and later they compared Qin Wan with them.
I really want to cry. I can't compare with boys, and I can't compare with girls, especially girls who are younger than them.
How to compare?
When Qin Wan was young, she couldn't use real kung fu in competitions, otherwise she would be considered bullying her younger sister.
When they finally showed their real skills, they couldn't beat Qin Wan anymore...
Qin Zhan looked at the expressions of his old comrades and felt secretly happy.
That's not enough.
Qin Zhan even brought a basket of fruit to visit the emperor!
The emperor had also heard about Qin Zhan's boasting, and he got a headache when he saw him: "I know that County Master Qin is very capable, can you please stop showing off? I'm very busy."
"No, that won't do. My granddaughter is going to be your daughter-in-law. Do I have the qualifications to show off in the future? I'll show off while I can." Qin Zhan said with confidence.
He handed the fruit to Eunuch Zhang and told him how to cut it.
The emperor looked at the basket of fruit and suddenly remembered something: "How much fruit did you bring me?"
Qin Zhan snorted, "No matter how much I bring, it will only benefit your concubines, so I only brought a basket. Your Majesty, just try it out."
The emperor glared at him angrily: "How stingy!"
But in comparison, Qin Zhan’s granddaughter grows fruits to honor him, but what about his own daughter?
Forget it, all they do every day is put on makeup and compete with each other.
Sons?
Haha, everyone is fighting for power and profit, and they wish they could die sooner.
Only the crown prince has made some progress recently. However, according to reports, even though he was so busy, he actually got into a fight with the Marquis of Pingyang and found a lot of things for him to do.
Prince, you are not jealous, are you?
What has Marquis Pingyang been doing recently?
