Chapter 20 Unexpected Joy
When we returned to the voyage, the wind had already risen and it was dark. But it was not a typhoon, and Xia Yu, who often waved on the sea, did not take it seriously at all. He could also experience the feeling of truly riding the wind and waves. Unfortunately, Xia Mingguang did not let him drive the boat, but just let him sit and rest.
Xia Yu was not idle either and continued to exercise his "mental power". His task was quite arduous. All of these thousands of pieces of porcelain must be handled well, otherwise he would be a "sinner of eternity".
On the way, Xia Ma and Xia Xue both called them and asked if they were back. Although Xia Xue was far away in Yuhai City, there were two locations in the weather settings of her mobile phone, one in Yuhai City and the other in the fishing village in her hometown, and she paid attention to weather changes every day.
Every time Xia Yu returns to his hometown, he goes to the waves outside the sea. Xia Xue, a sister, can't stop him, but she still has no problem expressing her concern.
When they were almost at the dock, the rain had already fallen, and the two of them didn't delay much, so they took the fishing catch and went home directly.
When Xia Xue was not at home, Xia Yu didn't act so seriously, so he took a few golden pomfrets, yellow snappers, and golden eels. The rest were kept in the space first.
Then, together with Xia Mingguang’s fishing harvest today, keep it in the fish tank at home.
They cleared the fish tank yesterday when Xia Xue left. At this time, the two blue crabs that Chen Fuqiong caught were already raised, and they also picked up some conchs and shells, so they also raised them first.
Now Shi Jiu Gong's soup is made into homely delicious soup at home. Whenever Xia Mingguang fishes, he will basically catch such a large number of stupid fish. But the family doesn't dislike it. The soup is delicious and nutritious, and it is very convenient to make. Xia Yu himself also likes to drink Shi Jiu Gong's soup, just like eating rice, and never get tired of eating it.
Xia Mingguang asked Xia Yu to rest by himself, but he skillfully handled Shi Jiugong and the golden pomfret and made dinner with Chen Fuqiong. The golden pomfret is cheap and has high nutritional value. Chen Fuqiong will not feel distressed even if he eats it. It is always good to hear her nagging less.
Xia Yu went back to his room to rest until his parents asked him to go downstairs to have dinner.
While eating, Chen Fuqiong received a call from his nephew Chen Wenjie, "Auntie, will Ayu go to sea tomorrow? I want to find him to go to the mangroves to catch crabs."
"If it's windy and rainy, it's definitely not going to sea. Why don't you call him directly..." Chen Fuqiong is the most typical person with a stingy mouth and a heart-warming heart, and soon conveyed his meaning to Xia Yu.
"Ayu, Ajie asked you to catch crabs tomorrow. You two won't go out to sea tomorrow, right?"
Xia Mingguang replied that he couldn't go out to sea. Xia Yu thought about it and nodded and agreed. When his cousins were young, they often went up the mountains and seas, fishing, crabs, shrimps and picnics. When they were ignorant, they had a lot of quarrels with Chen Wenjie, who was not much older, and they had fought many times. When they grew up, they would not have this problem and they were unanimous to the public.
The mangroves they were going to were on the mudflats near my uncle's house, where the salty and fresh water were intersecting, and there were many crabs. When they were young, Xia Mingguang and his wife wanted to go fishing in the sea, and they would leave Xia Yu and Xia Xue to my uncle's house for their grandmother to take care of them. The kids were not willing to stay at home at all. There were many crabs in the mangroves, which were the places they often visited.
Chen Wenjie knew very well that Xia Yu liked to run to the sea. If it weren't for a rainy day, he wouldn't have made an appointment with him, and it was undoubtedly the best way to go through his aunt.
Xia Yu naturally would not break the appointment after he agreed, so Xia's mother gave him her phone. She asked them to communicate when they would go. As long as it was windy and rainy, as long as it was not a typhoon and did not go to the sea, she was just on the mangroves and she was not worried about anything going on.
The two made an appointment to go in the morning, but it didn't have to be that early, it would be enough at around 9 o'clock. Anyway, Xia Yu rode a motorcycle to his uncle's house and then set out to catch crabs.
After having dinner, after chatting with his parents for a while, Xia Yu went back to his room to make trouble for his own affairs.
A quiet night is the best for him to exercise his mental power, so he has time to sort out the harvest of this day. Thinking that he would not have to go out to sea to dive tomorrow, he could completely drain his mental power. It is said that this will increase faster...
The methods are also diverse. In the Baoding space, he is the god and the master. However, if you want to control lightning in the space, you still need to consume mental power. In addition to various conventional operations, without opening the outer packaging of wooden boxes, tin cans, etc., it feels like "seeing through" the things in it, obviously it will consume more mental power.
Xia Yu usually doesn’t need perspective. Opening the box directly will save a lot of mental power!
Unless it is a special situation, such as wooden boxes, tin cans, porcelain cans, etc. that previously contained tea, he did not want to open the seal and let the air in, and he also wanted to know how the tea inside was.
The final result of the unpacking was as he could see through it. He drank some and didn't want to drink it anymore, so he could only keep it as a cultural relic.
Then, he had no idea of deliberately opening active perception in space as perspective unless he encountered another good baby.
In the boutique cabin that was finally salvaged today, there are things like this that require him to use this function.
There are three tin cans in total, which are similar to the tin cans that used to hold tea, but they are a few sizes smaller. This also makes Xia Yu feel strange. If the tea is contained inside, no matter how high-end it is, it can be placed in the tea cabin! Without having to deliberately be with these extremely exquisite Yongzheng porcelains.
Is there any mystery inside? What good treasure is hidden?
Since the amount of mental power consumed in the real world is much more than in the space, Xia Yu needs to consider it. It’s okay in the sea water without anything blocking it. Once there are heavy objects such as metal silt and other heavy objects, if you want to know the situation, he still chooses to put it in the space first and then make plans. Although it is to exercise mental power, it cannot be used randomly.
Xia Yu didn't guess that there was anything good to put in, but he didn't have to think too much, just open it and take a look. Of course, to prevent it, it's better to sense what's inside first.
Xia Yu did not rashly take the things that were already stored in the space to watch with his naked eyes or something. In the space, he could "see" more clearly and thoroughly.
The answer was also revealed soon. What made him smile a little bitterly was that what contained it was tea seeds and tea tree seeds.
Could it be that these Portuguese want to introduce tea trees to other places?
This is very likely, and wealth is moving.
Tea, silk, and porcelain are all the killer weapons that caused trade deficits in ancient China. It is completely unrealistic to say that Wei Guoren did not think about trying to plant, breed, or produce them in their own country or colonies.
It is reasonable to think so, and the Portuguese attempt to transplant tea trees is the most normal.
The reproduction of tea trees is divided into sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is to use tea tree seeds. However, the quality of the tea trees grown is hard to say, and they will not be completely consistent with the characteristics of the mother plant. They may mutate and degenerate, or may mutate better. Asexual reproduction and cuttings will retain the characteristics of the mother plant to the greatest extent, and basically they are cultivated and reproduced in this way.
But if you want to produce high-quality tea, you don’t just plant the tea trees and pick them. Different regions, temperature, humidity, light, environment, etc. have a huge impact on the taste of tea. In addition, professionals need to plant, pick and make them.
According to relevant records, the tea trees in Fusang were spread by monks such as Juichen in the Tang Dynasty. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, tea leaves in our country were spread to Indonesia. By the 53rd year of Qianlong, the East India Company had previously transmitted seeds to India. British natural scientist Banks first advocated introduction from China to India; and at the appointment of the East India Company, he wrote a booklet to introduce tea cultivation methods in China. At the same time, it pointed out that tea cultivation is suitable for Bihar, Langapur and Kotsbihar. Subsequently, the East India Company selected and promoted the regional Assam tea seeds on this basis.
Xia Yu calculated that the tea seeds carried on this wreck were about the same time, but he just didn't know which tea trees these were the seeds.
His guess was that it should be the seeds of the bulk tea on the ship, Wuyi tea, Tunluo tea.
This made him excited. Could the seeds of Wuyi tea be the seeds of the thousand-year-old Dahongpao tea tree in Wuyi Mountain?
After the excitement, he calmed down.
The first question is, can these seeds still germinate and grow into tea trees?
Planting tea trees is really not that easy. Moreover, the breeding and promotion of "purebred" Dahongpao has been done quite a lot, and large-scale planting has been carried out. There are so many "Dahongpao" on the market, but it is not entirely a lie to people under the guise.
This means that even if this is the seed of the Dahongpao tea tree, it is actually not as precious as imagined.
But no matter what, Xia Yu planned to plant it and try it out. Anyway, it would be a profit if it was planted.
He also felt that these well-preserved tea seeds are very likely to germinate. There have been related reports before, and even the millennium water lily seeds can germinate!
I also checked the information on tea seed planting on the Internet. He had never planted it before. But I also knew that the growth of tea trees is directly affected by environmental conditions such as sunlight, temperature, moisture, air, and water quality in the climate and soil environment. Among them, light is the primary condition that affects it. Light intensity, exposure time and light quality are very important for tea trees growth.
The most important thing about whether the tea leaves are good or not is the growth environment of the tea trees. If the tea leaves are of poor quality, no matter how powerful the picking and processing technology is, it is a "clever woman can't cook without rice."
The environment of the Baoding space is completely different from the reality, and there is no light or anything like that, but it has "spiritual energy"! He thinks this is similar to the legendary "blessed land of the cave".
It is actually useless to think so much. Xia Yu just said it to dry. He opened a few tin cans and took out twenty kinds of tea seeds that were obviously different from them, and then quickly sealed the tin cans. These tea seeds looked quite full and were planted in the space.
He also felt more and more that the area of a house every day was not enough!
