Chapter 845

When Xi Feng heard this, she was so angry with Chu Di.

But everyone left, even if they were angry, Chu Di couldn't see it.



Xi Feng asked anxiously, "Can't you plant food? What about the fruit trees? What about the trees? It's impossible that you can't plant anything, right?"

"What about weeds? Will we grow? If we can grow grass, it's okay to raise cattle, horse, sheep, chicken, duck, and geese. It's more of a profit. It's better than planting nothing or raising nothing. It's better to spend so much money on it every year."

Chu Li couldn't know much about farming and raising chickens.

Chu Li said, "Today, I went to the farm to check it out. I saw that it was all sandy land. After planting grain, it grew very slowly. The output was less than 30% of ordinary land. I would pay for anything planted. When the second prince bought the farm, he heard that the land was fertile and he was cheated."

"Sand land?" Xi Feng was stunned. Unexpectedly, there would be sand land in the capital.

Xi Feng said, "The yield of sand land is indeed not high and is not suitable for growing grain. However, I heard that the northwest is full of sand land. It seems that the grain they planted on the other side is different from that in our Jiangnan. The grain grown in the capital is different from that in Jiangnan."

"Second Master, why don't you send someone to the nearby villages to inquire about the old farmers and ask what is suitable for the sandy land in this area?"

Near Hangzhou City, there are fertile paddy fields and no sandy land. However, a miscellaneous note that Xi Feng had read before said that sandy land is suitable for growing watermelons and sweet potatoes. If you cannot grow grain, you will have a shortage of harvest and yield.

With Xi Feng's advice, the next day, Chu Li and Feng Wu went out of the city in person, went to the nearby villages, and inquire everywhere.

Finally, I found out that there was a piece of sand more than 100 miles away from the capital.

And that piece of sandy land was surrounded by people, and the farms are currently planted with ginger and potatoes.

"Ginger?"

When he heard Chu Li coming back from inquiring about ginger, Xi Feng grinned happily, "It's great. If we can plant ginger on a hundred acres, then we will hire a boat and ship them all to the Jiangnan area for sale. You must know that the price of this ginger has always been much more expensive than vegetables."

Chu Li smiled and said, "If ginger is expensive, then sell it directly in the capital. Why waste shipping fees and send it so far?" Thinking that the young wife has always liked growing vegetables, he added, "If you want to grow ginger, you can carry a few loads of sand and stones and spread it on the flowerbed in our yard, so that ginger can also be grown."

"This way you can plant it?"

"Well, I have asked the people in the farm carefully. The man said that as long as there is sand and gravel and mix some soil, you can plant it."

Xi Feng was excited and said, "Then tomorrow, you will send someone to buy some ginger seeds and we will try it here now."

"Just just have ordinary ginger in the kitchen, and you can sprout after it is buried in the sand."

"I haven't eaten chrysanthemums for a long time, and I don't have to eat bamboo leaf vegetables. People in Beijing don't grow them, and I haven't seen them. Next time I come to Beijing, we must bring some vegetables that are not available in Beijing, otherwise, we will want to eat them over after a long time."

"Well, I wrote a letter back and asked my grandmother to send some vegetables to come over. We asked someone to plant them in the greenhouse and we could eat them in a month or two."

"Okay, Fourth Master, you go and write a letter now." Xi Feng smiled and urged Chu Le to write a letter, "After writing, please let Aunt Guo take it to Lao An."
