After an hour of class, Master Zhou asked them to go back and rest.

Ye Yutong went directly back to her room in the backyard, and soon Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan came over quietly.

The three of them entered the space directly. Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan went to work on the mountain, while Ye Yutong went to the study to check information and prepare to make paper.

When she first got the space, she bought a lot of books on agriculture and manufacturing.

I also checked a lot of information and took notes, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t know anything through time travel.

I bought these things on a whim at the time, and I felt ridiculous afterwards.

I didn’t expect that these things would actually come in handy now.

She searched for a long time, but could not find the ancient papermaking technique. Most of the books and materials recorded agriculture.

She could only rely on her own memory to write down the method, and then slowly test it later.

She was sitting on the sofa, flipping through her notepad casually, and suddenly saw how to make sugar, and then she remembered what she had forgotten to do!

She forgot to move the sugar cane out and plant it. Sugar is very expensive nowadays. It is made from sorghum glutinous rice flour and glutinous rice flour, and is very rough in workmanship, not sweet enough, and extremely hard.

If she could make brown sugar and white sugar, she could make a lot of money just by doing it.

She ran excitedly to the field and looked at the small piece of sugar cane, which she planned to transplant in March next year so that it could be planted in a large area the year after that.

There are also some fruit trees on the mountain, and a few of each are removed.

By the way, there are also grapes. She doesn’t know if there is wine in this dynasty, but she will definitely make it. In the future, he will open a shop in various places to sell wine.

She was also going to try brewing liquor. She remembered the rice and sorghum that had just been harvested a few days ago, and planned to come in and try it tomorrow.

Ye Mingxuan and Li Yunze each picked two baskets of vegetables and came out of the field. Seeing her standing there in a daze, Ye Mingxuan asked:

"Tongtong, there are too many vegetables and we can't eat them all. Do you think this will work? Plant a few of each and plant the rest of the land with food."

Ye Yutong came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Brother, instead of growing food, plant sugar cane. I'm going to try to make sugar, and plant more sorghum and rice. Wheat will also work. I want to make wine."

She walked around the same place twice and then said: "Isn't there still a lot of open space on the mountain? Plant all of them with grapes, and I will make wine."

Li Yunze's eyes flashed when he heard her say whether she was a sugar or wine maker.

The lady even knows wine and can make it. How did she, a little girl who has never traveled far, learn about these rare things?

He only drank wine once. On his tenth birthday, his uncle secretly went to Shanhua Temple at night and took a small pot of wine, saying that it was obtained from people from the Western Regions.

He tasted a small cup, but was snatched away by the master, who even gave his uncle a scolding.

He said that since he was so young, his uncle made him drink, which led to him being ruined.

The master not only confiscated his wine, but also took away the roast chicken and big knuckles brought by his uncle.

Later, he learned from his senior brother that all the things confiscated by the master were secretly eaten by himself.

Ye Mingxuan asked doubtfully: "Sister, can sugar cane be made from sugar cane? And grapes, aren't they fruits? Can they also be used to make wine?"

Ye Yutong paused and then said with a smile: "Okay, the god taught me when he left. Didn't I tell you last time? She patted my head with a spell, and then I could do anything in my head. ."

I thought she would do something else in the future, so I told them clearly at once to save myself the trouble of explaining it later.

"Not only can I make sugar and make wine, I can do a lot more. The fairy also told me how to make paper. Maybe she told me too many things, and I can't remember many of them. I'll think about it in the next two days and see the details. How is it done?”

"Really?" Ye Mingxuan said happily: "Sister, if we can make paper, then we don't have to practice calligraphy on the sand table."

"Brother, let me try!"

Li Yunze smiled and said: "Tongtong, if you can really make wine and sugar, you can count your money while lying down."

Ye Yutong's eyes lit up and he asked: "Ping An, I know that sugar is expensive, but I don't know the price of wine. I heard from the gods that in their fairy world, wine is very ordinary, and it is not as high as the price of grain wine."

"Tongtong, as far as I know, the price of wine is astonishingly high. In the capital, a small jar can sell for several hundred taels, which is much more expensive than liquor."

Ye Yutong clapped his hands happily, "Okay, then let's plant more grapes and make wine, and then sell it in the capital."

The three of them worked in the space until ten o'clock, and then came out after having supper.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Mingxuan and Mantang led a few people to build a shed in the valley.

Li Yunze and Ye Yutong went out with two large backpacks and small hoes, and went directly to the river.

As I got closer, I realized that this was not a river, but a large pool. There are many fish swimming around inside, and they are all very big.

The surrounding land is moist and covered with lush green grass. At first glance, the land is very fertile.

Ye Yutong asked: "Ping An, what do you think we plant some fruit trees near the pool?"

Li Yunze looked around the area and nodded: "This place is very nice. It's not far from our valley. Planting some fruit trees will make it easy to pick them. But it seems like it's not the season for transplanting saplings now, right?"

Although he has never done farm work, he also knows that spring is the season for planting trees. It will be winter soon. Where can I transplant this tree?

Ye Yutong said nonchalantly: "It's okay, there are so many fruit saplings growing on the mountain, let's plant a few to try, and then water some well water.

If it can survive, there will be fruits to eat next fall. If it doesn't survive, it's okay. We can plant it again in the spring. "

"Okay, let's give it a try." Li Yunze picked up the hoe and started digging a hole.

Ye Yutong entered the space and ran to the mountain to dig saplings.

She chose larger saplings that, if they survived, would bear fruit next fall.

I planted a few apple trees, pear trees, and orange trees, and finally dug two cherry trees and planted them there.

She didn’t know if the climate here would work, but there were many saplings growing in the space, so she would plant them and give them a try!

Just leave it to chance whether it will survive or not. It doesn't take much to plant two saplings.

After planting these larger saplings, she went to the mountain to dig out some smaller ones and asked Li Yunze to plant them nearby.

They also planted a lot in other places some time ago, but I don’t know if they are alive or not.

Because I didn’t take care of it after planting it, I just have to wait until next spring to take a look!

Li Yunze planted all the seedlings she took out, and then asked: "Tongtong, I remember there is a vegetable called chayote on the mountain. One plant can produce hundreds of kilograms. When was that one planted?"

"That one can't be planted until March or April next year. Chayote likes heat but not cold. If you plant it now, it will freeze to death."
