Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Chapter 247

Qi Cheng yawned. It was already completely dark and he felt a little sleepy. However, no one had been selected to answer questions today.

I have to finish it before I can go to sleep.

"The system will pick someone up."

"Qin Dynasty Xushui."

Qi Cheng took a look at the system's introduction. This person should be a disciple from a farming family. He is currently in Xianyang City and might ask some questions about the Qin Dynasty.

"Host, I'd like to ask if cabbage was introduced from foreign countries. Why can't we find it in Xianyang? And what cultivation techniques were used in later generations?"

Qi Cheng checked the information and found that Chinese cabbage is indeed a vegetable native to my country.

"This is indeed native to my country, and cabbage seeds have been unearthed at the Banpo Ruins in Xi'an. Xi'an and Xianyang are almost next to each other, so..."

Xu Shui, who asked the question, suddenly broke out in a sweat. This task was assigned to him by the First Emperor. If the host was right, he might lose his head.

The First Emperor would not think of himself as a remnant of the Six Kingdoms.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with what he thought. The First Emperor had already seriously suspected him. If Fusu had not stopped him, he would probably have been in the palace by now.

People from other dynasties outside the sky also looked down on this person. They were finally chosen, but he asked such a question. And according to what the host said, the cabbage was almost right under their noses.

Qin Shi Huang wouldn't have found a blind man, would he?

"Host, I really can't find it. Is there something wrong with your information?" Xu Shui shouted anxiously, "This is a matter of life and death."

Qi Cheng thought about it carefully and it seemed that the cabbage in ancient times was indeed a little different from the cabbage today.

He took a cabbage out from the kitchen and split it in half. Qi Cheng pointed at the heart and said, "It should be slightly different. You didn't have a heart back then. The ancient name for cabbage was 'song', which is mentioned in the Book of Songs."

"Song?"

The ancient people before the Tang and Song dynasties were shocked. The dish the host brought was quite different from Song cuisine. It didn’t look like they were from the same lineage.

Could it be that later generations remembered it wrong?

"Songcai is probably the ancestor of Chinese cabbage. The information I've looked up shows that as Songcai spread northward, it encountered Brassica rapa, also known as Brassica rapa. The two naturally hybridized, giving rise to this head-shaped cabbage."

"There are many varieties of cabbage available now, but the best is probably the yellow bud white cabbage from Jiaozhou, Shandong Province. You can come here and try it to see if you can succeed."

Qin Shi Huang then ordered several soldiers to withdraw. He wanted to let Xu Shui go over and give it a try, but he was afraid that there were many remnants of the Six Kingdoms there, which might destroy the vegetable fields.

"Father, let Xu Shui give it a try. What if he succeeds? I don't think the remnants of the six kingdoms will attack. After all, getting the cabbage will benefit everyone in the world."

"Okay, let Xu Shui take the seeds to Ludi."

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin looked at the sky carefully and was a little curious about the hybridization. Song and Feng could actually hybridize. Does this mean that there is some connection between the two?

curious.

"Hybridization is actually a means of increasing yields, such as the now famous hybrid rice. However, as a poem says, 'What is learned from books is shallow; true understanding comes from personal experience.'"

"I suggest you try it with suitable plants. You should be able to better understand this method, and there are some patterns you can find."

The people outside the sky were all quite enthusiastic when they heard about increasing production, but looking at the host's next words, this matter still required the intervention of the imperial court.

Qi Cheng flipped through the tablet. If we only talk about cultivation technology, soilless cultivation is definitely powerful. However, with the level of technology in ancient times, they could not produce nutrient solution.

Let’s find something else.

Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang also saw the entry about soilless cultivation on the tablet. Does that mean we don’t need soil to grow things? How did later technology achieve this?

If the Ming Dynasty had this technology, it could support so many people.

"If any of you get the chance, you must ask about this technique!" Zhu Yuanzhang instructed his sons. However, looking at some famous bastards in later generations, he felt that the host might not be willing to answer.

……

"You can't use soilless cultivation, but you should be able to use the grafting technique. I think many of you are familiar with this technique, so I will give you a general overview of its current applications."

Qi Cheng remembered very clearly that he had seen a video on Dongyin, which was about an old man who had nothing to do and grafted a lot of other citrus fruits onto an orange tree at home.

Then a tree can produce oranges, tangerines, lemons...

I found another video that talked about the grafting technique.

big man

At that time, the Han Dynasty was still very warm, and orange trees could grow in the Guanzhong area. Seeing that orange trees were able to be grafted in this way in later generations, Liu Che also wanted such a tree.

"Let the farmers try this technique!" Liu Che ordered, "Find someone more reliable from the Shaofu, not someone like Xu Shui from Daqin."

"promise."

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin felt that there were not so many oranges in the Tang Dynasty now. Where did so many oranges come from? As far as he knew, oranges should have originated here.

If there is, you should know.

"Father, are these fruits delicious?" Li Tai looked at the sky with shining eyes. "Next time if I win, can you please ask me in detail?"

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

He felt that if there was one or two wins, there wouldn't be a third time. He had drawn so many times but never won once.

Qing Dynasty

Qianlong also liked this tree, and the grafting technology was no longer difficult at that time, so the matter was handed over to the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Seeing Qianlong's eyes, Heshen knew what to do. He also thought a little more, as there were many auspicious signs in previous generations.

There may be several that use these techniques.

Find someone to try it on yourself, and then give a few more to the emperor.

……

Qi Cheng was so sleepy after looking up some information. Just as he was about to take off his clothes and go to sleep, the phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Zhou Lu.

"Qi Cheng, you're not going to work tomorrow, right? I'm going to come over to talk to you about something. I'll talk to you in detail then. You must wait at home."

"What, what? Can't you just talk on the phone?"

"No, I have to pick up my cousin tomorrow and then meet up with you." Zhou Lu said on the phone, "You'll know what to do then."

Qi Cheng agreed. Zhou Lu was a very curious kid, so he must be up to something interesting again.

After answering the phone, Qi Cheng lay on the bed thinking about life, and then slowly fell asleep.
