This morning, some people from the village went down to the river to fish.

After finishing the work, he brought two big fish to Zuo Mingyan.

Ever since Jiang Tiantian served as the head chef at home for several times, Zuo Mingyan has become extremely interested in studying cooking.

In the past, she just wanted the food to be well cooked and not bland, but now she also seeks rich taste levels.

She carefully prepared a grilled fish dinner according to the grilled fish recipe that Jiang Tiantian had described before.

At the dinner table.

Cha Chengye was very supportive and picked up a large piece of fish. He frowned after chewing it twice and then told his wife honestly, "It's too salty!"

The subtext is that there is still room for improvement, so come on, wife.

His wife had finally asked him to review a new dish, and he had to be truthful and take it seriously.

Zuo Mingyan had a smile on her face, but the corners of her mouth slowly dropped.

She looked at the other people at the table with a questioning look.

Cha Jizu tasted it and found it was indeed salty. However, his daughter-in-law was so enthusiastic and had been roasting and stewing the whole afternoon. Could he really tell the truth to discourage her?

As an old hand, I certainly wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

So, he closed his mouth as usual, said nothing, and turned to look at Jiang Tiantian.

Jiang Tiantian also picked up some with chopsticks and tasted it. It was a bit salty, but to be honest, it was already pretty good as it was the first time she made such a complicated dish.

Tell the truth?

Forget it…

She is not stupid, so she would not do such a thing that would offend others!

So, she also shut her mouth and said nothing. She turned her head and looked at Cha Jiuzhang beside her with interest to see how he would respond.

Cha Jiuzhang picked a piece of the fattest meat from the fish belly and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, he smiled and said to his mother, "It's a bit spicy."

Zuo Mingyan raised the corners of his mouth, which had been lowered.

"I don't think so. It's hot, so spicy food is more appetizing."

"Next time, Mom, put less chili."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Cha Chengye.

Cha Chengye:?!

What's going on? To be honest, is it wrong?

Jiang Tiantian buried her head in the bowl, trying to hold back the laughter in her stomach, her little body shaking.

This family is so funny!

"Mom, the cabbages you picked today are so juicy. I want to eat them just by looking at them."

As Cha Jiuzhang said this, he picked up a large piece of Chinese cabbage with his chopsticks and put it into the grilled fish to cook together.

"Hey, Tiantian said to eat fish first and then cook the vegetables."

Zuo Mingyan was about to stop him when she saw Cha Jiuzhang had already put the cabbage into the pot. She then said, "Okay, it's fine to eat fish and vegetables at the same time."

Jiang Tiantian glanced at Cha Jiuzhang from the side. This man is so cunning!

After dinner.

Jiang Tiantian went into Cha Jizu's small pharmacy.

After looking around, she squatted beside Cha Jizu who was pounding medicine and asked, "Grandpa, if large-scale planting could be achieved now, which kind of medicinal material would you most like to have?"

Upon hearing this, Cha Jizu stopped pounding the medicine and stood up.

He thought for a moment, turned to look at her and said, "If I had to choose only one, I'd say it's saffron."

"Saffron is a very important ingredient in the blood stasis removing ointment handed down from our tea family's ancestors."

"This thing is very effective in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It can be used externally as well as taken internally. It is a good medicine in many prescriptions."

"Unfortunately, the production of this thing is extremely low and it has to be imported from the Western Regions, so the price is extremely expensive. It cannot be used on a large scale."

"Oh, it's Zang Honghua." Jiang Tiantian nodded thoughtfully after hearing that.

She also knew about saffron, as a client had given it to her before. It turns golden when put into water and has a unique fragrance. It is a very precious Chinese medicinal material.

It is originally produced in Persia and was introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty. It is known as the "gold among flowers" and is priced by gram internationally.

Although it is called saffron, it is not produced in Tibet. It is just because saffron produced in Persia entered Tibet via India and was then transported to the mainland through Tibet. Over time, it was mistakenly believed to be produced in Tibet and was called saffron.

At present, there are no conditions for planting it in China.

The output is small, the price is high, and the uses are wide.

It’s actually a very good choice.

Jiang Tiantian rolled her eyes and asked Cha Jizu with a smile: "Grandpa, do you have any saffron bulbs here?"

Upon hearing this, Cha Jizu asked curiously, "How do you know I have a seed bulb?"

"Last month, I asked someone to bring back a batch of bulbs from abroad, and I'm just trying to find time to plant them."

"Hehe... Grandpa, I heard that saffron is very beautiful when it blooms. Can you give me a few bulbs so I can grow them myself?"

Cha Jizu glared at Jiang Tiantian disapprovingly, "What nonsense! There's not much left, and you still want to give it to me?"

"Hey, Grandpa, just give me a few."

Jiang Tiantian shook Cha Jizu's knees and said, "Just give me one or two, that's fine."

Cha Jizu had no way to deal with the spoiled Jiang Tiantian, and said helplessly: "I really can't do anything with you, girl. Let's go, two of us, that's the maximum."

Jiang Tiantian followed Cha Jizu with a triumphant look on her face and entered his medicine garden for the first time.

After entering the door.

She then realized that this medicinal garden was quite large.

She followed Cha Jizu through the medicinal garden and entered a well-ventilated greenhouse. In a corner of the greenhouse, there were several large wooden boxes.

Jiang Tiantian took a quick look and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Grandpa, you lied to me, this is not much?"

"There are several large boxes of bulbs."

Cha Jizu glared at her unhappily, "What do you know? It's not easy to get these bulbs back."

"In my eyes, each one is worth a thousand gold."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Tiantian curled her lips and shrugged, "Then give me two first."

night.

Jiang Tiantian asked Xiaoqi to finish editing "A Day with a Mop" and upload it as usual.

She glanced at the current data and found that she had 3.63 million followers and 3.05 million gold coins.

The data is good and growing steadily.

Jiang Tiantian thought that she could go swimming tomorrow, so she readily placed an order for a slightly conservative white one-piece swimsuit on the platform.

Thinking of Cha Jiuzhang, I also picked out a pair of swimming trunks for him.

Although this era is still relatively conservative, they are already a couple, so it seems that there is no need to avoid suspicion.

It is really difficult for her, a mature woman in her 30s, to play the shyness of an 18-year-old girl.

It’s better to be open and be yourself.

This time the system wasn't too bad and it cost her less than 50,000 gold coins in total.

Xiao Qi has already successfully applied for the 2 million fans reward through the system, and she can use the plant improvement agent at any time.

Jiang Tiantian held the two bulbs and looked them over and over again.

"Xiao Qi, can this thing, the system's medicine, be improved?"

"In theory, there is no problem."

"I hope that the improved bulbs can be easy to survive, high-yield, and high-quality. Can these be achieved?"

"After systematic inspection, it was found that this is an autumn-planted bulbous flower. The most suitable growth environment is about 1,200 meters above sea level, with dry air and fertile and pure sandy loam."

“Growing in this natural environment of dry outside and wet inside gives it the best quality.”

"The valley where Chajia Village is located has a minimum altitude of about 1,000 meters, a warm and humid climate, and fertile soil."

"In principle, it can be grown, but the quality will definitely not be as good as the place of origin."

Ginger sweet dessert nodded,

"Xiao Qi, I know all this, that's why it needs to be improved."

Xiao Qi said very confidently, "Any improvement you want can be achieved."

“But to get a high yield, for each bulb, you need to increase the number of flowers and bulblets, otherwise it won’t meet your requirements.”

"At present, one bulb can produce 1-2 flowers, and sometimes 3-4 flowers. However, after the improvement, almost all bulbs can produce more than 10 flowers."

"Saffron is propagated by bulbs. Currently, the bulbs can generally be used for 8-10 years, and the annual yield increases by about 2 times. But after the improvement, each mother bulb will grow 20-30 small bulbs, and the planting area can be directly expanded by 20-30 times next year."

"Have you figured out how to explain this phenomenon?"
