Li Sixu was recently at Tai Hospital, studying medical skills with Sun Yizheng and the other old men, so she left all matters concerning Shangyang Palace in the hands of Yang Qing and Xu Cairen.
Yang Qing will report the matter of the greenhouse to her in three or two days, and she won't come to the cold palace often.
Besides, she had expected what role the greenhouse could play, and there was nothing surprising about it.
But this was not the case for Xu Cairen and Yang Qing. Xu Cairen thought it was so magical. Regardless of her dizziness when she just woke up, she dragged Li Sixu to the greenhouse to see the vegetable seedlings she had carefully cultivated.
"The greenhouse that the little princess came up with is so amazing. It can really keep the medicine seedlings and vegetable seedlings out of the cold and keep them warm. The concubine watched the seeds sprout and watched the vegetable seedlings grow up little by little."
Xu Cairen was extremely excited: "Princess, if I really grow fruits and vegetables in the winter, wouldn't that be the first glory of the Tang Dynasty?"
"I think this is like a magical magic..."
After not seeing each other for many days, Xu Cairen had lost weight, and his hair was only tied into a simple bun with a wooden hairpin. Now his hair was messy, and his two sunken eyes were bright and shining.
It looks really weird!
It was unimaginable that in front of her was the concubine that her father had doted on.
Xu Cairen, who stretched out his clothes and opened his mouth to eat, turned into the number one vegetable gardener in the Daming Palace, and Li Sixu felt guilty.
"Sisi checked the pulse of the empress. The empress's syncope was caused by the cold and overexertion. She was soaked in the greenhouse all day, and she was also exposed to the damp and warm air. She also had some food stasis and epigastrium."
She comforted her and said, "Listen to Sisi, please take good care of yourself before going to take care of the affairs of the Peng Nuan stall."
"My concubine has always had a chronic problem of eating and drinking, so it won't be a problem."
Xu Cairen has recently studied a lot of farming classics and asked people for advice on farming methods. He knows that the vegetable seedlings grow too high and are crowded together, making it impossible for them to grow strong.
Her mind was filled with the matter of transplanting the vegetable seedlings, and she said anxiously: "Please give the little princess some medicine and acupuncture to help my concubine get better quickly. The matter of transplanting the vegetable seedlings cannot be delayed..."
After Li Sixu performed the acupuncture on Xu Cairen, she also prescribed medicine. Xu Cairen felt much lighter and insisted on leading her to the greenhouse to see the vegetable seedlings.
After much persuasion, Li Sixu persuaded Xu Cairen and asked Yang Qing to accompany her around the greenhouse.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it feels much warmer once we enter the greenhouse.
Yang Qing led the way: "The slaves and Xu Cai people tried the straw reactor that the princess mentioned when they were sowing. The newly hoeed land here has been fertilized. When transplanting vegetable seedlings, we should try the ridge cultivation method that the princess mentioned."
"I tried the method the little princess said. It's warmer inside the shed than outside. I didn't expect that the little princess is not only good at medicine, but also knows how to farm."
Yang Qing looked filled with admiration.
Li Sixu hurriedly explained: "When I borrowed books from the Hongwen Library for Xu Cairen, Sisi also read a lot of farming classics. Sisi was just talking on paper. Whether the method is feasible or not, my father-in-law and Xu Cairen need to think more about it and try it."
"The farming classics recorded in the Hongwen Museum are the accumulation of people's experience in past dynasties. The slaves think that they are naturally effective."
Although farming is a bit dirty, it is quite interesting to study it carefully.
Yang Qing was eager to try: "I have discussed with Xu Cairen that if the weather gets colder, don't freeze to death the vegetables you finally planted on snowy days. You must try the method of building a fire to increase the temperature that the princess mentioned."
"In the huge Shangyang Palace, the most indispensable thing is dead branches and leaves and grass. Digging an underground ditch between the vegetable ridges, lighting a fire at one end, and then exhausting the smoke outside the greenhouse can not only increase the temperature, but also reduce the temperature of the greenhouse. The fruits and vegetables carefully planted by the orderer are so smoked..."
Yang Qing discussed greenhouse cultivation with her. He talked non-stop and followed her almost every step of the way, talking non-stop.
Perhaps the surprise that the greenhouse brought to them was too great. Apart from Xu Cairen, Yang Qing was also equally enthusiastic about farming.
Li Sixu walked at the end of the greenhouse and saw a large vat: "Is this vat used to store water and heat it up?"
"No, it is used to store fruit and vegetable seeds. Wang Yuanbao found too many black beans outside the palace, and there are still some left in it."
Yang Qing opened the lid of the tank and saw clearly that the black bean seeds at the bottom of the tank had turned into bean sprouts. His expression was twisted: "Ah, why did the seeds sprout? Someone must have accidentally spilled water in. Good black bean seeds." It’s such a waste.”
Yang Qing looked distressed and was about to send people around him to find out who got the water into the tank. When Li Sixu saw the sprouting bean sprouts, her eyes lit up.
"It's really unintentional, what a good thing!"
Li Sixu was lying on the edge of the vat, looking at the vat of bean sprouts that were growing extremely well: "After drying in the sun, this will become yellow rolls. Boiled and taken, it can cure Xu Cai's old problem of stagnant food and abdominal pain."
Do beans sprout and have such effects?
Yang Qing still felt sorry for Zao Jian Douzhong, and murmured: "The little princess can think of medicine for everything she sees?"
"It's not only used as medicine, it can also be used for cooking. Think about it, there are not many fresh vegetables in winter. Will frying a plate of bean sprouts like this have a unique flavor?"
Yang Qing and Xu Cairen are always thinking about managing Leng Palace into an independent existence of Daming Palace, which can be self-reliant and create profits as the little princess said.
At this moment, when Li Sixu reminded her, Yang Qing's eyes lit up: "Then princess, can you think of a good name for this bean sprout, and then plant it in large quantities in the greenhouse of Shangyang Palace, and then sell it to the market outside the palace?"
Li Sixu couldn't laugh or cry!
I just feel that I am good at brainwashing and have almost trained Yang Qing and Xu Cairen into money-making experts.
"It's a bit difficult to cultivate bean sprouts in the palace, sell them and transport them to the market. Besides, bean sprouts are easy to get. This method will soon be learned by others."
Li Sixu suggested: "It is not easy to grow bean sprouts for a long time and sell them. It is feasible to make a sum of money in a short time. It is better to sell this method of growing bean sprouts to Wang Yuanbao, and then share the profits from Wang Yuanbao's business. A sum of money."
Wang Yuanbao had a hard time helping her find materials for building a greenhouse. Recently, he helped her publish a book of words to deal with Ji'an. It just so happened that this way of making money by growing bean sprouts was used as a reward for his previous work.
Yang Qing also felt that even if he could sell the rare bean sprouts at a good price, it would be very difficult to transport them outside the palace without alerting many palace gates for inspection.
There are so many businessmen in Chang'an who are studying business methods, so the recipe for soaking bean sprouts will be quickly learned.
Shangyang Palace does not have to work hard to transport it, and it can also get a profit, so it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.
After all, this is a windfall!
A tall, tall and good-looking young man from the Wang family, the richest man in the capital, entered the study with Wang Yuanbao and closed the door tightly.
"Father, Prince Ning's Mansion is trying to find out who sold those scripts to teahouses and restaurants. Our family is in big trouble this time!"
