章節 151: Planting

Shu Wanniang replied with a slight smile, "I'm not too sure either. It's just that when I was young, I heard from the steward that my ancestors had actually been secretly trying to plant this thing because Emperor Shizong said that this thing was a treasure. In addition, it indeed has a gorgeous golden-yellow appearance. But they didn't succeed even after trying for many years. Later on, although the yield per acre was higher than wheat, because it wasn't delicious, they didn't feel that it was worth it. In addition, the second-generation corn really differed too greatly from the first-generation corn. It's much smaller in size. After a few generations, the corn couldn't be used as seeds anymore."

"Mother, how exactly do you grow corn?"

Shu Wanniang shook her head in confusion. "I only vaguely heard about these things from the housekeeper's wife. I've never seen it before, so how would I know? But it should be similar to planting wheat and rice."
