Chapter 1726: 1727

Over time, I can start to analyze some things slowly, and consider the long-term, not just how to solve the immediate problem.

She has already listed the pros and cons of a matter, trying to find a balance between the two, and even find a better solution.

"Well, let's do it like this, and I will decide the topic at that time." Liu Feng replied softly.

After the imperial examination last year, people who think this year will definitely be prepared, so the questions will not be too simple, and the difficulty will be increased appropriately.

Of course, the admission threshold will also be slightly lowered. Otherwise, if the questions are too difficult, you must answer all the questions correctly before admission, which is a bit too harsh.

"Yes, Shirley is already outside, she is here to report to you about agriculture." Enri said.

Liu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, put away the documents beside the table, nodded and said, "Then let her in."

"Yes." Enli turned around and shouted.

"Tap Tat Tat...

"Your Majesty, all the staff of the Department of Agriculture send their greetings." Shirley greeted you as soon as she entered.

"Get up, don't be so polite, what do you want to report to me when you come here today?" Liu Feng raised his hand to signal.

Shirley got up and handed over the document, reporting, "I'm here to report to you about planting in spring."

Liu Feng took the file and began to read it, without raising his head, he asked, "How's the progress? Did you encounter any trouble?"

"All the crops have been sown according to your request,

I haven't encountered any trouble for the time being, but I still don't know a little about how to grow these crops, so I came here to ask you for advice. " Shirley asked humbly.

"Okay, what kind of crops do you not know much about? I can list a list of information for you at that time." Liu Feng said softly.

"I don't know anything about pumpkins, wax gourds, yams, peas and other crops, so can you please explain to me, Your Majesty?" Shirley was very humble.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't understand, it's mainly because she's not sure, and the burden on her shoulders is heavy.

Because the grain produced by the Department of Agriculture is not only to feed Chang'an City, but even the entire Han Dynasty and other kingdoms need the grain grown by the Department of Agriculture.

So Shirley didn't allow herself to make any mistakes. Once she was a little uncertain, she had to make sure before she dared to proceed.

Otherwise, the output of the Department of Agriculture will be greatly reduced, and it will be fine if he is punished, and the entire Han Dynasty will suffer accordingly.

So she had to be careful, and after several discussions with Aunt May, she felt that she still had to trouble His Majesty the King, otherwise they really didn't know what to do.

"It's just these kinds of crops, but it's not difficult to take photos of these kinds of crops." Liu Feng said.

He has read many of the methods of growing these crops in books, and since they are very simple, he can remember them clearly.

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Shirley immediately took out a notepad and a pen to record.

"If you want to grow pumpkins well, you must remember these stages, which are planting, fertilization, building sheds, and growth and later burying of stems. If these stages are done well, the output of pumpkins will not be less. Do it" Liu Feng said seriously.

"Yes, I remember, Your Majesty." Shirley nodded heavily.

Ma Erniang liked this kind of knowledge very much, so she listened very carefully and remembered the notes clearly.

"The first step is planting. When the pumpkin has 3-5 true leaves, you can choose a sunny afternoon to select healthy seedlings without pests and diseases for planting."

Liu Feng's expression was very serious, and he continued, "One plant per pot, the planting depth should be such that the cotyledons are level with the soil surface, and the water should be watered thoroughly. If the seeds are used for direct seeding, the weak seedlings need to be thinned out, and one plant should be left in each hole. Seedling."

The reason why he spoke so professionally was because Ma Erniang had read a lot of books on agriculture, and she knew some technical terms very well.

Xue Li nodded heavily, remembering it very seriously, "I have written it all down, Your Majesty, what is the next step?"

"The next step is fertilization. About 10 days after the pumpkin is planted, it needs to be sprayed with a thin organic fertilizer. After the plant starts to climb and grow rapidly, the first topping is carried out when there are 8-10 true leaves. More side vines will germinate, and supports can be erected in advance at this time."

Liu Feng thought for a while, and continued, "When the side vines are more than 50 cm long, you can collect the tender stem tips and petioles to eat, pay attention to keep about 5 leaves, and press the remaining stems with a slightly larger soil block to promote germination. Take root, and spray a thin and decomposed organic fertilizer after each picking.

This step is more complicated, and he speaks slower, in order to let the other party follow.

"Yes, after the pumpkins are planted..." Shirley lowered her head and was writing quickly, then raised her head after a while, "Okay, I've recorded it."

"Okay, just make a rough record first, and ask me if you don't understand." Liu Feng looked very serious, "The third step is to build a shed. When the vines circle around the pot on the soil surface, the vines can be pulled Climbing supports so the leaves are evenly spaced and the branches don't obscure each other."

"So that's the case. Why did His Majesty do this?" Shirley asked curiously.

"This can improve the light transmission and ventilation conditions, thereby increasing the sitting rate by more than 40 percent." Liu Feng explained.

Sitting melon is actually the jargon of melon farmers, which refers to the phenomenon that the fruit begins to expand after the female flower is pollinated.

"So that's how it is. I understand. Then what is your Majesty's fourth step?" Shirley asked earnestly.

"The fourth step will be more complicated--point, you have to listen carefully, and if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Liu Feng said.

"Yes." Shirley nodded.

"Third watch, Fv). Please customize, please support.".

Chapter 1990: Can flowers be eaten?

Liu Feng took a sip of the water at the table, cleared his throat and began to think about the fourth step.

He thought about it seriously, and said, "The fourth stage is the growth. After the pumpkin reaches a certain stage, the plant enters the flowering stage, and the male flowers are mainly in the early stage."

"Taking male flowers as... Shirley took notes carefully.

"You can pick off the male flowers and their peduncles in the morning when the flowers are about to bloom. They can be used for food. When the female flowers start to grow, you can start to apply organic fertilizer." Liu Feng said seriously.

Shirley was stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes non-stop, and asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, are flowers edible?"

"Of course, you can use it to eat scrambled eggs or fried meat, it tastes very good." Liu Feng smiled.

On the other side of the earth, there are many delicacies made with flowers, not only stir-fried vegetables, but also desserts, such as flower cakes, flower crisps, etc. are all made of flowers.

The taste is still very good, and the nutritional value is still very high, eating more can also be useful to the body.

For example, loss of appetite, indigestion, etc., even eating some flowers can remove the peculiar smell in the mouth.

"So that's how it is." Shirley was a little shocked, her face full of disbelief.

She didn't expect that the flowers that she had planted for so long could be used for food. She couldn't help thinking in her heart that she must get some to try the taste.

Not only the horse-eared girls, but also the cat-eared girls and the fox-eared girls were also shocked, and it was the first time they heard that flowers could be eaten.

"Okay, there are still some things you should pay attention to. When the female flowers bloom, you should reduce or stop harvesting the young stem tips. If necessary, artificial pollination must be carried out before eight o'clock in the morning.

Liu Feng waited until Ma Erniang finished recording, and continued, "Usually 3-5 melons per plant are enough for normal growth, 1-2 large melon varieties can be reserved, and those miniature melon varieties can be appropriately increased, depending on the growth of the plants. ."

"I see, I have planted the two varieties separately." Shirley nodded heavily.
