Three Kingdoms: A marriage certificate, the father-in-law is actually Lu Bu

Chapter 141 Corn and cotton seeds shocked Zhuge Liang!

A warehouse for storing corn seeds.

Under the gaze of Chuck and Li Ru, Zhuge Liang tried to put the cornmeal pancake in his hand into his mouth.

Bite down gently.

Feeling the soft feeling from the tip of his tongue, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up slightly.

Followed by.

He felt a faint sweetness.

"My lord, what's wrong with this... bread?"

Zhuge Liang's reaction was not beyond Chuck's expectations.

Wotou and pancakes made of cornmeal may be hard to bite when they are cold and dry.

but.

Freshly baked corn buns and corn pancakes are completely different.

They are not only soft, but also have a unique sweetness.

Well, later generations call it the maltose contained in cornstarch.

but.

Zhuge Liang didn't know this.

Chuck smiled and said nothing, but picked up a bowl of porridge made from cornmeal and handed it to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang had no doubt about him.

Zhuge Liang, who had been conquered by the cornmeal cake, picked up the porridge bowl and drank it.

drink drink...

When Zhuge Liang saw that the ground of the porridge bowl was covered with golden and plump corn kernels, he thought of many things in his mind.

One food, three ways to eat.

Zhuge Liang has no doubts...

Even without this bowl of porridge, those corn kernels can be boiled with some cold water alone.

If Chuck knew Zhuge Liang's thoughts at this time, he would be surprised.

Because he did this a lot in his previous life.

And this approach...

He called them boiled corn on the cob.

After the corn on the cob is cooked, just hold it and chew it.

Save time and effort, and don't have to wash dishes.

pity.

All the corn rewarded to him by the system had been removed from the cob.

So much so that it is impossible for him now to experience the joy of eating corn on the cob.

If you want to eat corn on the cob, you have to wait until next fall.

It was almost time to see it, Chuck said directly in the eyes of Zhuge Liang and Li Ru: "I call this thing corn!"

"It can be ground into flour, which can be made into cakes, steamed buns, or boiled into porridge."

"If not ground into flour..."

"You can also break off the fruit from its stem, boil it in water, and eat it. It is soft, waxy and sweet, and two sticks are enough to fill your stomach."

With that said, Chuck took out an instruction manual covering the whole process of eating corn and planting from his arms, and motioned for Zhuge Liang and Li Ru to check it out.

Ok……

Of course, this thing can't be compiled by him.

It was given when the system rewarded him with three thousand shi corn seeds.

It's as if you go to a vending machine to buy umbrellas and toys, and the outer packaging of the umbrella and the instruction manual inside the toy are the same.

What, you say you don't know what umbrellas and toys are?
Ah!Singles!
Keke, get back to business.

In a word, the system is quite humane.

The instruction manual describes the planting matters of corn in various periods and illustrations of different growth periods, which helped Chuck avoid the trouble of teaching Zhuge Liang and others to plant them.

As long as Zhuge Liang leads his men to plant corn according to the scriptures, the yield may decrease, but it will definitely not be viable.

amount.

Compared with other crops, corn is so dead...

It seems that it is not easy.

Zhuge Liang took the corn instruction manual from Chuck, felt the smooth texture from his hand, and his face froze slightly.

It seems to be paper, but it doesn't seem to be paper!
Noticing Zhuge Liang's expression, Chuck was too lazy to explain.

Without him, there is no explanation at all.

Because the corn instruction manual attached to the system has replaced the content and text in it with something that people of this era can understand.

Outer packaging and paper or something.

Damn, it's no different from the "Handbook of Sow Postpartum Care" in the library of later generations.

That is to say, Chuck knows that this manual is more important...

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind tearing off a few sheets to wipe his ass.

As a traverser, Chuck was fed up with scraping his ass with toilet chips.

Alas, if I say too much, I will cry.

When Chuck was thinking like this, Zhuge Liang and Li Ru, who opened the corn instruction manual presented by the system, looked at the words and illustrations about corn recorded on it, and their eyes were full of surprises.

So that half an hour later...

After reading the entire content, Zhuge Liang and Li Ru fell silent.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang said incredulously: "My lord, can this crop called corn really produce twenty stones per mu?"

One stone in the Han Dynasty was about sixty catties in later generations, and the twenty stones in Zhuge Liang's mouth was [-] catties.

"It should be possible!"

Chuck didn't guarantee it.

After all, the maize of later generations can easily cost thousands of catties when there is chemical fertilizer, and although there may be some underproduction at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is still possible to have a thousand catties per mu.

Even if the yield of corn per mu is only a thousand catties, it is much stronger than the large-scale corn planted in the north today.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the average yield of corn planted twice a year in the north was only about three stones per mu without drought or locust plagues.

Compared with the two, it is not surprising that Zhuge Liang has this performance.

"hiss!"

Hearing Chuck's reply, Zhuge Liang and Li Ru glanced at each other.

They immediately understood the importance of this crop.

If this kind of crop is popularized, why should people everywhere worry about food!
Although the instruction manual that the lord Chuck showed them mentioned that corn is not recommended for continuous planting, but even then...

The role of corn is also immeasurable.

Because in Sili, Bingzhou, and the unconquered Liangzhou, there are many lands that no one has planted.

"My lord, how many corn seeds are there in this warehouse?"

"Three thousand stones!" Chuck said affirmatively.

"Hahaha! My lord, with so many corn seeds in hand, it only takes three years to spread them!"

"Three years later, even if the army under the lord's command has been fighting for years, there should be no worries."

Zhuge Liang seldom made sworn promises to outsiders.

But at this moment, Zhuge Liang was so excited that he couldn't help speaking out.

"I believe what Kong Ming said!"

"Kong Ming, it's too early to be happy now, and it's not too late to be happy later!"

Chuck teased Zhuge Liang, and then led Zhuge Liang to another warehouse full of cotton seeds.

Chuck, who entered the warehouse before the two, took out the padded jacket made of cotton and the cotton instruction manual from the system space when the two did not see it.

Needless to say, these two things were naturally included when the system rewarded him with three thousand stone cotton seeds.

"Kong Ming, try it on!"

Chuck woven the blue coarse cloth into a padded jacket and handed it to Zhuge Liang, and handed the cotton instruction manual to Li Ru.

……

After a stick of incense.

Wearing a blue coarse cotton padded jacket like a villager, Zhuge Liang, without a trace of scholarly elegance, walked out of the warehouse with cotton seeds with a look of doubt on his life.

"Wonderful thing!"

"A wonder!"

"With this strange thing in hand, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, so why worry about the uncertainty of the world!"

Zhuge Liang's side.

Looking at Chuck's back, Li Ru strengthened the idea in his heart.

Their protagonist Chuck...

Really God.

In the past, Bingzhou conjured up three thousand Xiaoguo troops, and later today, they produced important strategic wonders such as corn and cotton.

If it is not God, there is really no way to explain it.

"That's right! My lord!"

"Because He Liang found out how many pages were missing at the end of this book about cotton cultivation?"

"Do you know where they went?"

"Could it be that you tore it up to record something!"

Before leaving.

Zhuge Liang stopped Chuck, and asked Chuck puzzledly while holding the cotton instruction manual in his hand.

Chuck: "..."

"Kong Ming don't talk nonsense, why should I tear them up!"

"They can't..."

"Well, that's right, I just took it to record something!"

"..."

Chuck accelerated his steps, and there was a murmur in his mouth that Zhuge Liang couldn't hear clearly.
