It means hope for survival!
Therefore, they were all sincerely grateful to Lin Zao. Although the princess sent someone to say that the seeds were found by the royal family, for these farmers, they were most grateful to Lin Zao!
She taught them how to grow these new crops, thus preventing these precious seeds from being wasted!
They will be more experienced and confident when they continue to grow these new crops in the future!
"East···"
Jiang Fu was used to calling Lin Zao "Master" and almost made a mistake, so he quickly corrected himself:
"Madam Tang, you've finally arrived! The young masters and ladies have come too! We've been eagerly awaiting your arrival, and we're so happy that Madam Tang has come to guide us in the fruit picking!"
Several kinds of short-cycle vegetables on the estate are now ready to be harvested. They could have been harvested a few days ago, but since the princess hadn't replied, they didn't dare to make the decision on their own.
This morning, the princess sent someone to say they were coming, and they had been preparing to pick the fruit since early morning, waiting until now.
Now that they saw Madam Tang, they finally knew who the Princess had sent!
Lin Zao sensed they had misunderstood and was about to ask when Xiao Bao chimed in:
"Auntie, my father and mother said we were going to pick fruit today! Let's go and see!"
Xiao Bao was excited and curious; it was the first time he had ever done something like this!
***
"Auntie, what kind of vegetable is this long, green one?"
"This is a cucumber, also called a gourd!"
Xiao Bao was a little conflicted, "But the cucumbers we eat aren't like this..."
This era also had cucumbers, a vegetable unique to the Wuyi people. Ganzhou was close to the Wuyi people, so many families also grew cucumbers.
However, the cucumbers here are rounder and shorter, with many thorns on the skin and a slightly bitter taste, so many people don't like to eat them. Xiao Bao knows that it's just that he's a little foodie who's curious and wants to try everything.
Modern cucumbers, through hybridization and selection, have become bright green, juicy, and sweet and crisp.
Seeing that Hu Tou and Ya Ya had also come over, Lin Zao explained:
"This is a new variety of cucumber, so you can call it cucumber. You can try it."
These vegetables were not sprayed with pesticides, and there was little dust in the air, so they can be eaten directly even without washing.
Xiao Bao hesitated for a moment, but Hu Tou picked one without hesitation, gave half to his sister, and then ate it by himself.
"Delicious! Quenches my thirst!"
Seeing her brother enjoying his food so much, Ya Ya took a bite herself.
This time, Xiao Bao didn't hesitate and quickly picked one too. He rubbed the fuzzy surface with his hand and easily removed it, unlike cucumbers which can prick your hand if you're not careful.
After he took a bite, he found that the taste of the cucumber was far inferior to this one, and it didn't look like it at all. He didn't know why his aunt said it was a cucumber.
but!
As long as it tastes good!
The three children took turns eating.
Seeing how much they enjoyed their food, Lin Zao picked one and started eating it herself!
He didn't forget to call out to Sun Ding and the others:
"You should pick some and try eating them too!"
Sun Ding and the others stared in shock at the cucumber vines in the field.
At a glance, the cucumbers were densely packed together, and many were even still in bloom.
Is this a divine object?
They themselves were children from poor families, so they naturally knew how much grain and vegetable production was now. These cucumbers looked to be yielding no less than 2,000 jin per mu!
Only a divine object could do that!
Seeing their surprised expressions, Lin Zao said with a rare hint of pride:
"The cucumber harvesting season lasts for more than two months. Don't be fooled by how many there are now; there will be even more later!"
Cucumber yields can reach over 10,000 jin per mu!
She won't tell them for now to scare them!
