Chapter 7 Planting Potatoes



Xiao Shunzi followed beside him with a basket full of sprouted potatoes. Every time he finished planting one and needed more, he would hand him a piece.

Planting potatoes is not difficult and the process is very simple. People with farming experience can learn it after watching it a few times.

Eunuch Hai himself didn't understand the planting techniques, and didn't understand where the Fourth Prince learned it from. The others looked at the Fourth Prince in shock, finding it hard to imagine that the prince knew how to farm, and at such a young age.

When Eunuch Hai saw Situ Xiu spreading a layer of straw on the ground where potatoes were planted, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, why are you laying out straw?"

"To prevent the potato seeds from freezing and rotting, we need to lay out 10% straw." Situ Xiu said lightly.

The temperature is too low in winter, and laying straw on the ground can keep people warm, just like people wearing cotton-padded jackets.

In fact, you can cover it with special agricultural film to keep it warm, but that thing is too modern and not suitable for use yet.

He is waiting for the potatoes to be put on the market and see the results. If they are good, he will introduce agricultural film and greenhouse cultivation into the world.

As for the negative impact brought about by the appearance of these agricultural products, Situ Xiu has never worried about it.

Because he is the fourth prince, the fourth son of the current empress.

In the Great Sage Kingdom, except for the Empress, anyone who comes will be defeated without hesitation.

Keep warm!

Eunuch Hai was somewhat dazed and extremely shocked. He thought that a nine-year-old child knew more than him. He felt that he had lived so many years in vain.

The villagers' gazes in the crowd gradually became admiring. At first they thought that the Fourth Prince was fooling around, but now they thought carefully that the Fourth Prince was really serious about farming.

.......

Half an hour later.

Hundreds of villagers began working to grow potatoes on a large scale, with the goal of planting 200 acres of potatoes.

Since it was the first time planting, Situ Xiu supervised it personally. He didn't want the planting to fail and be laughed at.

Eunuch Hai frowned and said, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you are of noble status. We should return home early. If others knew about this, they would probably gossip about us."

"Eunuch Hai, do you know the frog in the well?" Situ Xiu smiled.

"I don't know." Eunuch Hai shook his head.

"Once upon a time there was a toad who saw things just like this."

Situ Xiu bent his hands into the size of a telescope, pointed it at Eunuch Hai, and said with a smile, "Is the world you see very small? I see an endless expanse of blue sky."

“.........” Eunuch Hai.

“People with short-sightedness only see the present. Look at the long term, and you will find that potatoes are a miracle.”

Situ Xiu's eyes flashed. Potatoes were a miracle and also a beginning. There would be many more agricultural products to come.

Eunuch Hai frowned and insisted, "But you are a prince. If the news of your farming affairs spread to the court, it would be very bad for your reputation."

"It doesn't matter if I don't want this prince. If I can change the world, my status will be comparable to that of the emperor of three countries."

Situ Xiu put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. The words spoken by his small figure were full of unparalleled momentum.

For a moment, Eunuch Hai was stunned, his expression extremely shocked. He took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"This old servant is willing to lend a hand to Your Highness."

Eunuch Hai originally thought that he would live an ordinary life following the Fourth Prince and guarding Xiuhe Manor, but the Fourth Prince was far-sighted and his intelligence far exceeded that of his peers. He was destined to be extraordinary, and his future achievements were unimaginable.

"Eunuch Hai, you will be proud of your decision today. You are also very lucky to have followed me out of the palace."

There was no expression on his calm face. Situ Xiu had already expected this. After all, his aura was well-controlled, enough to make people surrender.

At lunchtime, the villagers saw fish and meat and looked at the Fourth Prince with gratitude.

You have to know that meat in this world is too expensive and most people can't afford it. Basically, being able to eat rice is a luxury.

In the afternoon, the villagers worked harder, and in the evening they enjoyed a feast of fish and meat.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

Chat group.

The three of them gathered together to chat again.

Shirona: "I finally arrived at the wild wilderness area. It was too bad. I was not familiar with the roads here and got lost. It took me more than two days."

Bulma: "Hurry up and capture the elves, capture the cuter ones."

Two days?

Situ Xiu's expression changed slightly. Almost 8 days had passed on his side, but only two days had passed in the world of Shirona. The timelines didn't match. Could it be that because they were in different worlds, the times in the worlds were also different?

A few minutes later, Shirona sent a red envelope containing a Poké Ball, which he then gave to Bulma.

Shirona: "Bulma, this is an electric-type Pikachu. It's very cute and can use electric-type moves."

Bulma: "Thank you, I have received it. That's it, I'll be leaving now."

Shirona: "Situ Xiu, what kind of elf do you want?"

Situ Xiu: "Windspeed Dog."

After careful consideration, he wanted a wind speed dog that could be ridden and used to guard the house, especially in the dead of night when strangers approached Xiuhe Village, the wind speed dog's ears and nose could detect them keenly.

Sirona: "The evolution of Growlithe? You've got me stumped. This Pokémon is hard to get."

Situ Xiu: "I'm not in a hurry. If you have time, you can help me get a ghost-type Pokémon."

Shirona: "Well, okay, I'll leave first."
