Some people are not superstitious on weekdays, but once they become superstitious, it will make people laugh or cry.
In fact, in the sugar workshop, in addition to the three acres of sweet potato land, there are also ten acres of land for growing things.
Originally, the two pieces of land could be next to each other, but Liu Mingqi deliberately separated them in order not to destroy the feng shui of the sweet potato.
So it will take some time to walk from the sweet potato field to the ten acres of land on the other side.
When you reach the other ten acres of land, it¡¯s a different concept.
Unlike the neatness of the sweet potato field, there is a kind of messy beauty here
All right
I can¡¯t make it up anymore.
These ten acres of land are actually a bit messy.
There are flowers over there, fruits here, and saplings growing over there.
? Colors range from red to white to yellowall kinds of colors are available.
They are also different in height and maturity.
"Compared to farming, this land is abnormal.
But it is right that they are not normal.
Because they are not the same type of plant, they even have different planting dates.
These are some plant seeds and branch cuttings that Du Lifeng, the prince of Cebu, and Luo Lie, the prince of Sulu, found.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, Liu Mingqi sent people to plant them on such a large piece of land.
The young man hoped that they would all survive so that he could find some useful varieties among them.
¡°It would be a blessing if we could also find the potatoes.
If there is still corn, it would be like immediately praying to God and thanking Buddha.
"It's a pity that things in the world are not as expected, nine out of ten times.
After these various seeds or branch cuttings arrived in the capital, half of them died one after another.
This made Liu Mingqi very sad.
I feel like I have lost five million.
Buying a top lottery ticket is not enough to make up for the loss.
Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t even have time to come and see the remaining half after returning from Sichuan.
He was afraid that he would hear news about dead seeds or cuttings again.
But fortunately, so far, there has been no bad news in these days.
Because these seeds and cuttings were planted in a very messy manner, Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t know how to classify them, so she simply walked into the field to check.
He left Beijing in June, and now it is September.
It has been more than three months, and many plants that were originally invisible have grown up.
Liu Mingqi looked at it while searching for anything similar in his memory.
Potatoesno.
??Corn¡no.
Damn it!
The young man complained in his heart and turned around for the second time without believing in evil.
This time he was more careful, and after walking most of the way, he still couldn't find a single hair.
Of course, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t recognize them all, but some of the cuttings haven¡¯t grown up yet and haven¡¯t bloomed or bear fruit yet, so I can¡¯t tell.
Wouldn¡¯t the entire army be wiped out?
????????????????????? My luck shouldn¡¯t be so bad, at least you can come too
one comes! ?
Liu Mingqi stopped suddenly, causing Dazhu who was following him to almost bump into him.
The young man squatted on the ground and looked at a cluster of low vines.
This vine is wrapped around two wooden sticks and climbing up. It is green all over. The leaves are oval and oblong, with short pointed tops, hairless on both sides, and obvious reticular veins.
Liu Mingqi touched it carefully with trembling hands, then pulled off a leaf and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Dazhu wanted to stop him, but he didn't have time.
After chewing carefully for a while, a smile appeared on Liu Mingqi's face.
"Bah!"
He spat out the green juice and burst into laughter.
Dazhu quickly said: "Your Highness Your Highness do you want to call the doctor?"
"don't want!"
Liu Mingqi stopped laughing and said proudly: "Dazhu, follow me, you are really lucky! You can eat more meat in the future!"
"Your Highness, I will bloat to death if I eat any more!" Dazhu scratched his head and told the truth.
"Go, go!" Liu Mingqi glanced at him, "Just a little bit of praise- He doesn¡¯t understand even if pepper comes.
Yes.
What Liu Mingqi saw just now was the pepper vine.
What makes Liu Mingqi excited is pepper! !
Although there are some differences between it and modern ones, many basic characteristics are the same, especially the taste, which is even more similar.
"It's just that it takes two or three years for the pepper vine to grow for the first time before it matures for the first time, so ordinary people can't recognize the pepper vine when they look at it now.
Liu Mingqi should not have known her in the first place.
But in his previous life, when he was a graduate student, his tutors once organized a gathering for students from two related disciplines, the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Agriculture.
As a result, at the party that time, he saw a very beautiful and gentle girl from the Department of Agriculture, who was just about the age of a sophomore, blooming like a flower.
Liu Mingqi also had some male impulses, so he went out of his way to inquire about this little sister several times.
Liu Mingqi learned a lot about her knowledge from others, including the subject category she wanted to study, which happened to be pepper.
So Liu Mingqi spent two or three months learning everything about pepper in detail, and also inspected the growing pepper vines.
The convenience for modern people to obtain knowledge is far better than that in ancient times.
Liu Mingqi not only saw the pepper vine, but also observed the life process of a pepper vine through videos and photos.
So he could recognize the pepper vine that had just grown.
Then he went to taste the pepper leaves - he had done this before, and engineering dogs are so willful and rough.
After combining all the knowledge points, Liu Mingqi was sure that he had discovered the pepper vine!
In fact, if it was during Liu Mingqi's time, pepper would have come to China as early as the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Based on the current era of Dakang, a feudal state similar to the Song and Ming dynasties, pepper should have been available for a long time.
But the fact is that Liu Mingqi has never seen pepper since she came to Dakang.
There is only Cornus officinalis which is similar to pepper.
But eating dogwood can never replace pepper, otherwise the reputation of the king of spices will not be placed on pepper.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????As long as pepper appeared, it was always pepper on the head of the dogwood.
By the way, the Imperial Palace where Liu Mingqi lives now will also be a place that loves to use pepper in the future.
Liu Mingqi once asked many people and found that they really don¡¯t use pepper and have never even seen it, including Jiangnan, the paradise on earth.
The young man couldn¡¯t figure out why pepper disappeared. It stands to reason that today¡¯s Dakang merchants have already traveled all over Southeast Asia, and maybe even the Indian Ocean, and these two places are the main producing areas of pepper.
But none of that matters now.
Pepper is already in front of Liu Mingqi, which means that from now on, the people of Dakang can enjoy the huge benefits brought by pepper!
In a few more years, Dakang¡¯s top export products might include pepper!
How important pepper is, you don¡¯t need a talented person to explain it, all gentlemen can know it.
Even in modern times, pepper is still the most important spice, even one of which can be omitted.
Do not believe?
In addition to white pepper, there is also black pepper!
When Westerners cook, which meal does not include black pepper?
Japan and South Korea, who are accustomed to Western food, and the third brother with a population of 1.2 billion The third brother alone is enough to offset China, not to mention that China also likes to use pepper.
Those ancient sea traders and merchants from the Western Regions didn¡¯t know how much money they made from pepper.
From the Three Kingdoms period until the mid-Ming Dynasty, when pepper was planted on a large scale, the price of pepper was basically comparable to gold.
??Didn¡¯t a Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty be killed by the furious emperor because he hid dozens of tons of pepper?
I don¡¯t even have that much pepper, but you have more than me. It¡¯s really unbearable!
Not to mention Westerners.
They frantically set out on a voyage to the East because they wanted to find spices.
They directly named the route from the West to the East the Spice Route. You can imagine the attraction of spices to them.
In fact, seventy percent of this spice refers to pepper, and the rest is cumin, cinnamon, basil, lemongrass, etc.
With the Western eating style, the meat is grilled, fried or boiled, and they don¡¯t know how to bleed or remove acid, etc., so it all smells very fishy, ??and without spices it is simply difficult to swallow.
After having pepper, their nobles knew that eating was a kind of enjoyment.
Since then, it has been out of control and I have never been able to leave Pepper.
As long as Liu Mingqi confirms that pepper is not sold on a large scale in India, Southeast Asia and other places, then pepper that has been cultivated on a large scale will inevitably become popular around the world like porcelain and tea!
Don¡¯t doubt it.
Since pepper has not been introduced to Dakang until now, it proves that there is probably a deviation in this era. Pepper has not yet entered people's eyes, or has not been used on a large scale, let alone exported. .
This is really how God made me prosperous and prosperous! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)People's eating style is to roast, fry or boil meat without knowing how to bleed it, or how to remove acid, etc., so it all smells fishy, ??and without spices it is simply unpalatable.
