Zhang Feng did not leave. After exiting from the main entrance, he took a detour and snuck into the residence from the back door.
The reason why he woke up so early today was to go to the East Court to look at the potato seedlings.
Those were the real treasures. Once they were grown, it would be a fortune that Zhang Feng could not spend in his eight lifetimes.
Although he was slow to realize that he had just tipped a thousand taels of silver from the servant's mouth, Zhang Feng did not regret it!
Instead, he was a little excited.
After all, it was better to enjoy together than to enjoy alone.
Moreover, with the current amount of money in the Zhang Residence, even if he tipped the servants a thousand taels of silver every day, they would not be able to spend it all …
The East Court was basically a forbidden area in the entire residence.
It used to be a very ordinary residence, but ever since some old man brought in something from the outside, the old master ordered that no outsiders were allowed to enter the East Court.
This was Zhang Feng's rule, and no one dared to violate it. Even Jingshu and Zhang Yuyao had only seen it from afar a few times.
The East Court was slightly larger than the other three courtyards, but at this time, the three old men were very disciplined. They never lived in any of the rooms, and only built a few thatched huts in a remote corner. Next to the thatched huts, according to the scale of the brewery, they built a shed with a pot. The fire in the shed burned all year round.
As a result, the temperature in the area had reached a constant state. Even the nearby trees and flowers were still lush and green. However, five steps away from here, the fallen leaves were still broken and tattered.
At this time, the three old men had already boiled a big pot of water. They did not do anything else, but they kept adding water into the pot. The other old man went to the kitchen to get some food. The few of them gathered around the stove and ate and drank.
They did not even notice Zhang Feng walking in.
Zhang Feng's gaze passed the three of them and landed on a wooden trough in front of the stove.
On the wooden trough, there were already a dozen dark green seedlings growing lush.
He looked rather stout.
It was only at this moment that the three old men discovered Zhang Feng's arrival. They hurriedly stood up and turned pale with fright. "Master, we have neglected our duties."
Zhang Feng waved his hand and squatted in front of the stove with the three old men. Looking at the raging fire in the stove, Zhang Feng suddenly felt as if he had returned to his home in the future.
When he was young, the stove at home was like this!
Zhang Feng shook his head and collected his thoughts. He pointed to the thatched shed next to him and asked, "There are so many rooms. Why do you have to sleep here?"
"Replying to Master, this is our rule. Besides, we are all dirty. How would we dare to defile Master's house? This place is pretty good. Not only can I take care of the seedlings at night, but I can also take care of the fire on the stove. This is already very good. Besides, it's warm here. The little old men are used to it. "
Zhang Feng was speechless.
However, he also thought of the time when his family wanted to bring his grandfather to live in the city. However, his grandfather sternly refused. The reason for the refusal was that it was warm in the mountains!
Zhang Feng did not insist. He got up and went to check on the potato seedlings.
The potato seedlings did look good from afar.
However, when he walked closer, he found that there was something different about them.
That was, the seedlings that had just been pulled out were not only a little yellow, but there were also some black spots!
This should be a kind of disease, but Zhang Feng knew nothing about it. After all, he really did not know much about agriculture. He only judged it based on his experience of growing up in the countryside for more than ten years.
It should be a lack of phosphorus.
Moreover, he had also studied the soil of the Tang Dynasty.
There were too many alkaline substances.
Zhang Feng did not even need to think about it.
"Master, what do you think of this seedling called potato? We are taking care of it as if it were our own sons! "
The old men said somewhat proudly.
Zhang Feng smiled and nodded. "This seedling is indeed good, but it lacks fertilizer!"
When the old men heard that, their faces could not help but change.
"It can't be, right? We have been watering it with gold liquid every day according to your instructions. How could such a thing happen? "
The first thing they did every day was to check on the seedlings. If there was even a worm egg in the soil, they would immediately destroy it.
Not to mention fertilizer.
They were all members of the Zhuang Family, and at this moment, they were in Zhang Feng's residence. The golden juice that they were reluctant to use before was simply inexhaustible here. They couldn't wait to pour all of the golden juice onto the potato sprouts.
Zhang Feng knew that they had misunderstood his meaning. He shook his head and said, "You are thinking too much. That's not what I meant. What I meant was …"
"Forget it. You won't understand even if I explain it to you. When you go to Chang 'an University tomorrow, I will give you some fertilizer. Every five days, you will use the spoon that you used to eat. Wipe a spoonful of the fertilizer and throw it three inches away from the potato seedlings. Then cover it with soil. But after using this, I must hear their reactions every night!"
Although there was no problem with phosphate fertilizer, Zhang Feng only wanted to test whether the phosphate fertilizer was effective. Most importantly, he wanted to see if the fertilizer was really purified successfully.
The three old men were a little surprised, but they still did as they were told.
Who asked Zhang Feng to be the head of the family?
Moreover, the things that Zhang Feng had tinkered with before were all unprecedented!
