Ying Qingci looked in his direction and was slightly startled when she saw the plant in his hand.
She did know this plant.
Moreover, it is very familiar.
Not only that, she now has one at home.
That's right, it's the Jianlan that was rescued in the mountains before. It's a kind of orchid.
"Master Bai, this is a kind of flower, but it has not bloomed yet. It should only be in its infancy."
The orchid in Bai Wu's hand was still very small, as if it had just sprouted long leaves, and was picked before it had time to stretch its waist.
"orchid?"
Bai Wu was a little confused. He had seen orchids, but he had never heard of the kind of orchids Ying Qingci was talking about.
However, upon closer inspection, they are indeed very similar to the leaves of an orchid.
When Mo Lingfeng heard this, he grabbed the booklet in his hand and recorded it.
I'm afraid I'll miss a little bit.
In addition to this Jianlan, the Department of Agricultural Affairs also found many plants nearby. However, they did not know what these plants were, but they had people from the Taiyuan Hospital test them and found that these plants were not toxic.
That said, it's possible they're edible.
Ying Qingci followed them and went over to identify them.
The people at the Department of Agriculture knew very well that after collecting the plants, they did not wait for them to dry out, but planted them in wooden pots.
First, their activity can be guaranteed.
Secondly, they can be identified based on their appearance.
Indeed, while plants can be easily recognized while alive, once they are dry, their original appearance is difficult to discern.
Ying Qingci didn't stay at the Agricultural Affairs Department for a long time. When Geng Hanchu came back, he was ready to leave.
As for the waterwheel, it couldn't be built in a day or two.
Not to mention those delicate small parts, which need to be polished carefully, otherwise, the operation of one part may be affected.
So be extra careful when building.
When Mo Linghe saw Ying Qingci leaving, he felt a little reluctant.
This was the first time she had met such a agreeable friend, and she was worried that she didn't know when she would be able to meet again.
"Linghe, if you want to see me, you can go find me, or we can go out together."
Hearing Ying Qingci's words, a smile appeared on Mo Linghe's face, "Yeah, okay."
Ying Qingci told Mo Linghe his address. Unexpectedly, when he heard that Ying Qingci lived in Qingheyuan, Mo Linghe's expression froze.
"Linghe, what's wrong?"
Mo Linghe looked at Ying Qingci with a complicated expression.
Qingheyuan? Qingci lives in Qingheyuan?
Among the noble ladies in the capital, who doesn’t know that Qingheyuan is the residence of His Royal Highness?
Not to mention, the old lady also lives there...
Now, Qing Ci said she lived there... Mo Linghe found it difficult to accept it for a while.
"No...nothing."
I knew that she might have a good relationship with His Royal Highness, but I didn't expect that she would live directly in Qingheyuan.
"Qingci, I live in the General's Mansion, on the street in front of Qingheyuan."
"good."
On the way back, Ying Qingci kept thinking about wheat.
The low yield of wheat is not a good thing for Daling.
There are many people in Daling, so they need more food.
If the yield is low, then more land will need to be planted, and the people will work harder.
The cultivation of potatoes can also help the people, but it is still far from enough.
And sweet potatoes…
Thinking of this, Ying Qingci just felt that the seeds needed to be studied as soon as possible.
When they returned to Qinghe Courtyard, they didn't expect that Gu Xunhe was still sitting in the courtyard. After seeing them, there was no surprise on his face.
Instead, he waved to them.
"Third Grandpa."
Ying Qingci walked up to Gu Xunhe and shouted.
Hearing her address, Geng Hanchu's eyes flashed, "Third Grandpa."
When Geng Hanchu's voice fell, Gu Xunhe glanced at him, a smile flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated, making it difficult to catch.
"Have you been to the Agricultural Affairs Department?"
Gu Xunhe said this to Ying Qingci.
"Been there."
Ying Qingci nodded.
"How does it feel?"
"It's very simple, and the people there get along very well with the officials."
Compared to other places, it can be said that there is almost no class distinction in the Agricultural Affairs Department. There, officials and people are on the same level, with no distinction between superior and inferior.
Gu Xunhe nodded, "Xiao Liu, I heard from Nan Xiaozi that you are the sixth eldest child in the family. Is it okay for the old man to call you that?"
"Grandpa Third, it's up to you."
Gu Xunhe is an elder, so there is nothing wrong with calling her that.
"Then have you seen the food there?"
The grain grown in the Agricultural Affairs Department is the main type of food eaten by Daling, and it is what everyone in the Agricultural Affairs Department is trying to increase production.
"I've seen it before."
Ying Qingci glanced at Gu Xunhe and decided to speak truthfully, "It's just that the output seems a bit low."
Gu Xunhe shook his head, "It's not low anymore."
What he said was nothing more than what Geng Hanchu had said to her before.
Previously, before the Department of Agriculture developed new varieties, the yield of wheat was still low, but now the yield is considered high.
"However, for ordinary people, this output is still very low."
Gu Xunhe glanced at her, said nothing, and then listened to her.
"According to the current needs of Daling people, they need to at least produce thousands of kilograms of grain per mu, or find seeds for other grains..."
"How can it be simple?"
Why don't they want to find it? However, when it comes to food, not only in Daling, but also in the surrounding countries, the food output is equally low.
"Girl, I know you once studied under a mysterious person, but sometimes, it's not a good thing to show off your edge."
Ying Qingci was startled, glanced at Gu Xunhe, and met his deep and calm eyes, Ying Qingci suddenly understood.
It turned out that Gu Xunhe talked to him so much today because of himself.
"Thank you, Third Grandpa, Xiao Liu has learned a lesson."
Geng Hanchu glanced at Gu Xunhe and said nothing, but the dark color in his eyes gradually faded.
…
Zhenguo Temple
Zhenguo Temple is the oldest temple to protect the country, and Master Liao Hui inside is an eminent monk.
However, Master Liaohui likes to travel around the world, and it is rare to see him.
A carriage drove slowly from a short distance and finally stopped outside the gate of Zhenguo Temple.
The door curtain was opened, and a figure walked out from inside. She was wearing a light green dress, and her long hair was gently pulled up and draped behind her head. After she got off the car, a figure walked out of the carriage again.
After Gu Xunhe got out of the car, Ying Qingci went directly to his side, followed him and walked into Zhenguo Temple.
As soon as he walked in, the young monk outside the door seemed to know Gu Xunhe and quickly led him the way.
"You two, please come inside."
Ying Qingci nodded towards the young monk to express her gratitude.
