Chapter 70 Surprised Princess

"Hey! You are so smart. That's the truth. He gave it to me by an old man in a Taoist robe. Seeing that my bones were strange, he accepted me as a disciple. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do anything now. It was this old man who taught me." Li Yu simply gave a dead pig without fear of boiling water. Anyway, they didn't know where these things came from.

As long as they don’t admit it, they are just suspicious at most. Even if they know it in the future, do they still care about anything?

"I don't believe what you say now!" Li Xiuning didn't believe what Li Yu said even more.

"I believe it or not. This is corn, made of 10,000 taels of gold. You have seen this plant, this plate is made of vinegar and potato shreds, you have seen this plant, this plate is drawn by red office, this plate is chili, this plate is peanuts..."

"This is sea cucumber, this is abalone, hey! What kind of shrimp is this? It's the first time I have seen such a big shrimp?" Li Xiuning then directly recommended the name of Li Yu's dish. She didn't recognize the last lobster and then asked.

"Lobster, if you don't believe it, you can see the origin and habitat of these plants and animals if you look at the geography and botany of the world. Feier, wasn't the quilt you covered last night made of Western cotton?"

Li Xiuning forgot other questions for the time being, but when she heard the flowers she hadn't heard of, she couldn't help asking: "What is cotton? Why didn't I know there are flowers called cotton?"

Li Yu found out that he had let go of his words, so he quickly winked with Li Fei'er, and shook his hand and said, "No, no! I was talking to Fei'er and I, right! Fei'er."

When Li Feier saw Li Yu winked at her, afraid that she would reveal her wealth.

Li Feier said seriously: "Well! We were talking about it, there was no cotton, and there was no white bunch of cloth."

"Oh! My God! It's all over now. After hearing that there was no white bun in the end, Li Yu patted his head regretfully.

After hearing Li Feier say that the white folded cloth was in trouble. Since there was no cotton, where did the white folded cloth come from? With Li Xiuning's Somali pirate temperament, it would be strange if he couldn't guess it! When he met this female robber, can these treasures be kept?

"The princess eats this lobster, dip it in some vinegar, it has a beautiful flavor... and this abalone..." Li Yu quickly remedy it and conceals it.

When Li Xiuning saw Li Yu covering something, her eyes turned around in her sockets, and looked at the room that Li Feier had just looked at subconsciously. She already understood in her heart that the good thing was in that room.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuning immediately said, "Li Yu, do you live in that house? I won't eat it for the time being, I'll eat it later after an empty stomach. I want to see your room."

After saying that, Li Xiuning stopped eating and went straight to Li Yu's bedroom.

"Princess, it's not good for you to go to a man's bedroom by a woman! If it reaches Chai Shao's ears, it makes him feel that our relationship is abnormal and I'll see what you do if you make a misunderstanding." Li Yu had to act like a scoundrel and use this trick to stop Li Xiuning.

The more Li Yu stopped Li Xiuning, he wanted to go and have a look.

Li Xiuning stopped and looked at Li Yu and said lightly: "As long as the three of us don't tell us, who will know?"

Seeing that Li Yu failed to stop, she had to go there. The brother and sister looked at each other again. When they met this woman who didn't follow the routine, they looked helpless.

When Li Xiuning saw the quilt on the mahogany bed, she hurriedly walked over, stroked the quilt, took apart the needle and thread from the quilt, pulled out a ball of cotton to take a look, and when she held the quilt in her arms, she felt that the quilt was very warm and comfortable.

After looking at the quilt, mattress and sheets, I carefully looked at the bedroom where Li Yu lived. Although this room was old, the room was clean and organized.

There were also various musical instruments placed in the whole room, and even various musical instruments were hung on the wall. An instrument that looked like furniture had many black and white buttons on it. She walked forward and pressed it a few times, and a pleasant sound came out. Only then did she realize that most of these instruments she didn't even recognize.

There were several bags of food in the corner of the house.

The new grain she saw that she didn't know was actually several new grains she saw on the dinner table today. She took them in her hand and looked carefully. Then she walked to the bookcase and found "Botany" to see the growth habits and yields of these plants...

When he was sure that all this was true, Li Xiuning stood there excitedly, tears kept falling.

Li Yu didn't persuade her, so he simply asked Li Feier to sit down and have a meal. Li Feier planned to persuade her, but was stopped by Li Yu and did not let her go.

Seeing that Li Yu didn't persuade him, Li Xiuning wiped the tears from her face, walked over, held the book and asked Li Yu, "Are all the words in this book true? Is there no false?"

Seeing that Li Yu could not hide it, he originally planned to give these high-yield seeds to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and said calmly: "Well! But now agricultural technology is not good now, and it is impossible to make corn yields over a thousand kilograms per pound. What I said is that one kilogram and ten taels are not the 16 taels you use. I think 500 kilograms should be enough, and potato yields should be enough to reach more than 2,000 kilograms. Sweet potatoes may still be at a high point, as for peanuts..."

After listening to Li Yu's introduction, Li Xiuning's eyes continued to show her brightness: "That is several times and dozens of times the yield per mu. If not, I want to repay my father."

"Do you have so many seeds now? Will the people believe it? And shouldn't these seeds be domesticated? Only when the seeds are domesticated and there are more seeds at that time can they be promoted and popularized. Governing the country is not just a matter of heated mind and patting the head." Li Yu did not persuade him, but said directly, the difficulties in promoting the world.

"Crops are stumbling like animals, and they need to be domesticated?" Li Xiuning was puzzled after hearing this.

In this era, when crops have not been studied in depth, it is even more impossible to understand domestication and improvement.

Li Yu looked straight at Li Xiuning and asked, "Is it strange? Do you just obey when you see a wild animal and catch it at home? At least you have to domesticate it for generations, and the same is true for seeds.

"These new grains are still produced by wild crops and must be domesticated to adapt to the climate and soil environment here." Otherwise, the yield will not be much higher. Li Yu sneered at the nose: "You will understand after studying "Botany" in the future."

Li Yu compared animals to a metaphor. They didn't understand the evolution theory of plants and improved the principle of increasing seed yield.

Li Xiuning stopped after hearing Li Yu's words. She didn't understand anyway, so she immediately said, "Okay! I'll listen to you, I'll give you another thousand acres of land for you to mess with."

After saying that, Li Xiuning happily returned to the table and started eating. He specially picked new grains to eat. While eating, he also commented on the new grains, what taste does these new grains taste? They are not allowed to eat them after eating them, and keep them as seeds.

While eating, he was still asking Li Yu where the new grain came from. Li Yu continued to make up the story of the old man with white beard. He was just talking nonsense anyway, but Li Xiuning obviously didn't believe it.

But when she saw the new grain and tasted the new grain, the facts were in front of her. In the end, she was very clever and didn't ask anything. As long as the people get benefits, no matter where the new grain comes from, it would be best if the fairy grain from heaven came from the sky. In that way, the Li family dynasty could be unified one day earlier.

When Li Feier heard Li Yu talking about new food, she knew that her brother was lying, but she also didn't know where the new food came from. Since her brother didn't want to say it, she might have some difficulties, so she was very sensible and didn't ask.

"Li Yu, how many cotton quilts are there in you?" Li Xiuning suddenly asked about the quilt again while eating.

"What's wrong with the Ten Tips? You want it! We have to agree first. Fei'er and I have two Tips for you. I'll give you two Tips for you. I think you are also a person who is afraid of the cold." Li Yu was eating and looked up at Li Xiuning and said.

"Well! But I need to use the quilt you gave me for my father. You also know that he is old and afraid of the cold. As a daughter, I will take it over for my father to use first." Li Xiuning pretended to be pitiful. She knew that Li Yu was easy to talk to, and as long as you didn't force him, he wouldn't care about anything.

"Ok, OK, I'll give you all the rest, just leave Fei'er's and I, but you have to give me some thin silk. I plan to build a greenhouse and plant off-season vegetables to eat. No problem!" Li Yu looked at her appearance and couldn't help but not give it to him. He also put forward his own conditions.

“Off-season vegetables?”

"What are off-season vegetables? Why haven't I heard of them?" Li Xiuning heard off-season vegetables and remembered the dishes that Li Yu made for himself a few months ago, and asked quickly.

"It means that you can plant various plants in the greenhouse all year round, and it is not affected by the seasons."

After saying that, Li Yu looked at the two girls and said again: "In the future, you should take a look at natural science more and know how plants grow and why. Read less books like Zhihu, and you won't be able to use it."

"Brother! Do you really have many books in the bookcase?" Li Feier asked carefully again about the books that made her afraid of studying, and couldn't help asking again.

The main reason is that Li Yu said too many books just now, which completely scared Li Feier, who had never been to school.
