Chapter 158 Chapter 158
Song Qingzhai invited her: "If you are free one day, you can go to the army for a walk. I want to hear your opinion on some things."

"Me?" Xu Ji was quite surprised, "What can I say? I'm just a layman."

"You underestimate yourself too much," Song Qingzhai shook his head slightly, "Then it's settled?"

Xu Ji did not agree, "Let's talk."

Sister Wen brought up the cut watermelon and said with a smile, "My lord, try it. The princess took us to thin the flowers and fruits to pollinate, but we are busy. We only got twenty melons this crop."

Song Qingzhai signaled Xu Ji to eat first, and Xu Ji said, "It's the first time I plant this year, and I don't know what to do, so I'm more cautious."

The watermelon seeds were bought from melon farmers on the way to Biancheng. They were first carefully screened and then soaked in nutrients before sowing. The first planting does not require a high yield. The main reason is to get some high-quality seeds. In this way, it is easy to use the synthesis dish to improve the quality.

As he spoke, Xu Ji took a piece and took a small bite, um, the taste is not bad.

Song Qingzhai also ate a piece, praising it while eating: "I've never eaten watermelon in the border town, it's still sandy! It's so sweet!"

Sister Wen said next to her: "The princess asked us to inquire, and those aged farmers said that long, long ago, in the peaceful years, watermelons were also grown here, and they were all sold to the mainland.

"The watermelons grown here are bigger and sweeter than those from other places.

"But then everyone ran for their lives but couldn't escape, so naturally no one planted melons. Gradually, even the seeds couldn't be found here."

Song Qingzhai couldn't eat anymore.After a long while, he said: "One day, we will make Beihu dare not invade again!"

Seeing him like this, Xu Ji couldn't help but said, "Actually, I didn't even think about planting melons earlier, but during the field investigation, I found that there are a lot of sandy land here, and it's not a particularly barren sandy land. Got the idea of ​​planting melons.

"For the time being, our demand for watermelons is actually not that strong. My focus is on growing peanuts."

"Peanut?" Song Qingzhai heard this name for the first time.

"Well," Xu Ji nodded, "You can extract oil, make it into snacks, or eat it raw. The fruit grows underground."

Song Qingzhai asked: "I saw that you planted a lot of sunflowers, isn't that also able to press oil? Is there anything missing for the oil press? Do you want me to send someone over to help?"

"That's not necessary," Xu Ji shook his head slightly, "We've already built an oil mill, which is enough for us. Peanut oil and sunflower oil have different tastes and yields. I can't explain this clearly. You need to taste it yourself to know. .”

"Okay," Song Qingzhai nodded immediately, "Just let go of what you want to do. It's still the same sentence, if you need my help, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk."

Xu Ji couldn't help laughing, "Okay."

After eating the melons, Song Qingzhai followed him to the fields, looking at the crops that had already played the prelude to a good harvest, he felt very happy.

Then I realized that I really didn't handle it properly, otherwise, I would have harvested more grain this year...

Xu Ji saw what he was thinking, and couldn't help saying: "Brother, don't blame yourself, in fact, we are new here, and I didn't plan to expand the territory.

"After all, we have limited manpower and the shop is too big to take care of it.

"And your previous thinking is not wrong, without you to shock it, it will be difficult to convince the public."
