Chapter 459 Must be a God descending to earth
Shen Huazheng: "In addition to vegetables, this method can also be used to grow potatoes and other crops."
Magistrate Wu was a little puzzled: "Master Shen, didn't you say that potatoes need to be buried in the soil to a certain depth in order to grow? Can potatoes really be grown with just this thin layer of soil?"
When Shen Huazheng first arrived, she taught them a lot about potato planting.
County Magistrate Wu listened carefully every time and wrote down every word.
He remembered clearly that Shen Huazheng had said at the time that when planting potatoes, they should not be buried too shallowly or too deep.
If buried too shallowly, the potatoes will be disturbed by the outside world and the root system will be more easily damaged.
If buried too deep, the potatoes will need more nutrients to grow, which may affect the yield.
But if conditions permit, a certain degree of deep burial can ensure the growth and yield of potatoes.
Chen Huazheng didn't expect that Magistrate Wu listened to what she said so carefully. "Yes, potato tubers do need deep soil. Look at this wooden frame again. Each layer of the wooden trough is about half a foot thick. After planting the potato sprouts, we will continue to add soil as they grow. When they are mature, the roots of the potatoes in the wooden trough will produce a lot of tubers."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh: "Wonderful, really wonderful!"
If this method can finally succeed, it will definitely benefit the people.
Prefect Lin was excited. It was a blessing for Ru'an that His Majesty allowed Lord Shen to come to Ru'an.
Daliang is blessed to have Lord Shen! !
After explaining things clearly to County Magistrate Lin and the others, Shen Huazheng and the officials from Sinong Temple plunged into their work.
What they do now is the same as when they were in the capital, which are all relatively trivial and detailed work.
Not only do they have to carefully plant the newly collected vegetable seeds in different layers according to Chen Huazheng's requirements, but they also have to use lime and charcoal to adjust the acid-base balance of the soil.
Shen Huazheng's record book is filled with data about temperature, humidity, light and growth rate.
She knew that three-dimensional planting could not be successful just by idea, and every detail had to be repeatedly considered and verified.
The people in the Ministry of Industry also became busy, as they still had to make the big thing in Lord Shen's design drawing.
To be honest, no one who is obsessed with craftsmanship can resist such an interesting design.
Even if it was not for official business, they still wanted to build that "sky vegetable garden".
If those colleagues who were unable to come to the Northwest with them knew about this, they would definitely be extremely envious of them.
Hahaha! ! !
Not long after, the news of Shen Huazheng's use of ingenious ideas to help Yuzhang County grow vegetables and fruits spread, sparking widespread discussion among the people.
"I heard that Lady Shen from the capital has come up with a way to help us grow food and vegetables. It seems that she can even fold the land."
"The land can be folded up? This is a lie, right? Could it be that the man from the capital is a god from heaven?"
"I know this Lord Shen. It was she who discovered and put into practice the mass production of potatoes. She is also in charge of the greenhouse vegetables in the capital."
"Oh my god, I didn't expect such a big shot to come to our small county."
"But no matter how powerful Lord Shen is, he is just a mortal. Folding the land sounds fake."
"It's true! My seventh uncle's sister's son-in-law is a government official. He said that Prefect Lin and Magistrate Wu were also present at the time and were full of praise for Mr. Shen. He also said that if Mr. Shen's method could really work, the same piece of land could produce several times more grain and vegetables."
"Yes, yes, that's what I heard. And that method seems to allow us to eat vegetables in winter. It seems that greenhouses are needed in winter and not when the weather warms up."
"Then it should be true. There is no reason for Prefect Lin and Magistrate Wu to lie to us."
"Oh my god, there are several times more food~~ How long will it take to finish this?"
"Moreover, this Lady Shen is not only familiar with farming, but also has good cooking skills and is good at business management. The most famous restaurants and food streets in the capital were all established by her."
"Did the imperial court send her here and appoint her as an imperial envoy?"
"Could it be that this Lord Shen is really a god from heaven?"
"I don't know if he is a deity, but I heard that Mr. Shen was injured when he was a child. For a long time, his mind was like that of a five-year-old child. He just recovered his mind last year."
"I know, I know. Isn't this just like what is said in the storybook? Lord Shen is the reincarnation of a fairy from heaven. She came to the mortal world to save the people from danger. She will return to heaven only after her mission is completed."
The man became more and more certain as he spoke: "That's right, this is not a high-ranking official from the capital, but a god from heaven."
Everyone at the scene was silent for a moment when they heard this. Even if they had never read the storybooks, they had been to teahouses and listened to storytellers tell stories, and it seemed that those stories were indeed written in this way.
Could it be that Lord Shen is really a fairy who has come to earth to save them?
As for her experiences and thoughts, although they sound strange, they are actually reasonable.
After all, that is the business of gods, how can mortals like them understand it all?
"Lord Shen must be a deity descended from heaven. We in the northwest are blessed!!"
"So, not only will we not have to worry about famine in the future, we can also eat vegetables in the winter!!"
