Qi Pan recalled the cassava planting method and the suitable soil, and explained.
"Cassava is generally suitable for warm and humid places. It's too dry here and it won't grow well."
ah?
It won't grow.
Ying Zheng felt a little regretful.
It would be a shame if the grain with such a high yield per mu could not survive!
but.......
Warm and humid places...
Daqin seems to have it too.
If it can’t be grown near Xianyang, it can be sent to other counties for planting!
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. It can't be grown nearby. I can send it to a place where it can be grown."
"only......"
Ying Zheng said, "Sir, please explain the method of growing cassava."
Qi Pan nodded generously, "That's no problem."
“Cassava is grown from rhizome cuttings.”
As he spoke, Qi Pan reached into the bag and took out a few cassava roots.
Cassava rhizome, cassava stalk
"Put this rhizome in the soil, give it some water, and make it sprout quickly."
"There is also land for growing cassava, and the more fertile land is preferred."
"good."
Ying Zheng nodded and memorized it in his mind.
Qi Pan continued, "Cassava cannot tolerate waterlogging, so if there is too much water, it must be drained promptly."
“To prevent the cassava roots from rotting and resulting in low yields.”
"You need to fertilize regularly to provide the cassava with sufficient nutrients. Oh, and by the way, it's best to use farmyard manure."
"On a daily basis, you can remove weeds, leaves, rotten grass roots, rotten vegetable leaves, and human urine and feces."
"Dig a big pit and pile up all the excrement from horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and other poultry."
"We compost them into agricultural fertilizer to enrich the soil."
"Add fertilizer to cassava and crops."
Fertilize?
Farmyard manure?
Composting fertilizer?
And urine and feces?
Animal excrement?
"Can these be used as fertilizer to add nutrients to crops?"
Ying Zheng didn't know much about farming, and he looked at Qi Pan in confusion.
Qi Pan nodded and said, "Sure."
"When I was a kid, I would carry manure water directly to water the vegetables in the garden."
"However, direct irrigation can cause significant damage to crops and can easily burn their roots."
"You need to water it twice more, or dilute it with water before watering."
"I'll look for this on my phone and copy it down for you."
"good."
Ying Zheng said, "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Qipan picked out the cassava rhizomes that could be planted and put them aside.
Then he took the edible cassava and greeted the Twelve who were standing aside.
"Twelve, wash these cassavas and steam them."
"I'll give it to your boss to try later."
"Okay!"
Twelve quickly responded.
He took the cassava from Qi Pan's hand with both hands, and when he saw that Ying Zheng still had one in his hand, he hesitated for a while.
"Um...Sir, do you want to cook this one together?"
He looked at Qi Pan and pointed at the cassava in Ying Zheng's hand.
He himself didn't have the courage to take it.
Qi Pan looked at Ying Zheng, "Brother, do you want to keep it and see for yourself, or cook it together?"
“This cassava can only be eaten, not planted.”
Ying Zheng handed the cassava in his hand to Twelve.
"Let's cook it together."
"Okay!"
Twelve took the cassava and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Looking at the dirt on Ying Zheng's palm, Qi Pan took out a small pack of wet wipes from his pocket.
He pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over, "Hey, brother, let me wipe your hands."
Um?
"What is this?"
Ying Zheng took it with a puzzled hand.
A little moist to the touch.
Qi Pan said, "These are wet wipes. They are used to wipe your face, mouth, and hands."
After saying that, she carefully put the small packet of wet wipes back into her pocket.
She only brought such a small bag, and each one she used was one less.
Wet wipes?
Ying Zheng looked down at the thing in his hand and slowly wiped the dirt off his hands.
It was a white silk cloth of unknown texture, with a faint fragrance.
Is this a wet wipe?
It looks somewhat similar to a handkerchief.
Ying Zheng saw Qi Pan's extra care and pain in her body.
He asked doubtfully, "Are these wet wipes very precious?"
“It’s a bit expensive.”
Qi Pan said, "It's five dollars a pack, and there are only three in it."
This time I'll give one out.
She feels heartbroken.
Although I'm not sure how much five dollars is in silver.
But looking at Qi Pan's expression, Ying Zheng knew that it would definitely not be cheap.
"If you need some silk cloth to wipe your hands, I'll send some to you tomorrow."
"You can use these wipes for now. I'll think of a way."
"Okay, thank you brother!"
Qi Pan agreed with a smile.
A quarter of an hour later.
Twelve came over with a plate of steamed, steaming cassava.
He put the cassava on the table and said, "Boss, sir, the cassava is steamed."
Qipan picked up a cassava and broke it in half.
He handed the larger part to Ying Zheng and the smaller part to Fusu.
"Come on, brother, try it! That Xiao Su is for you."
"Okay, thank you sir."
Ying Zheng reached out and took the cassava.
Fusu looked at the cassava in his hand, which was smaller and much shorter than Ying Zheng's.
I feel so pitiful.
Why were the cassava given to the king's father so big, but the one given to him so small?
Sir, you are biased!
