On the other side of the yard, Lu Tixue was slightly drunk and was asking for agricultural knowledge: "How to distinguish the male and female of these flowers?"

Zhu Guoxiang asked his servant to fetch charcoal, drew two large flowers on the ground, and tried his best to explain in layman's terms: "Here are the stamens, which are divided into filaments and anthers. The filaments are like male roots, and the anthers are eggs, which can produce a large amount of pollen."

."

"I know, pollen is that thing." Lu Tixue stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "Here is the pistil group, which is divided into stigma, style and ovary. Pollen enters the ovary from here, where the yin and yang can have intercourse and produce fruit."

Lu Tixue squatted and watched for a long time, and said in amazement: "Interesting, interesting, really interesting. I have a brother (Lu You's father) who likes to raise peonies on weekdays, but unexpectedly, the peonies turned out to be... hahahaha!"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Peonies are monoecious, with more stamens and fewer pistils."

Lu Tixue smiled even more happily: "When we meet next time, I will let him smell it with his nose, then point at the peony and say: This is a male!"

Zhu Guoxiang couldn't laugh or cry.

After putting away his smile for a long time, Lu Tixue asked again: "Is there anything new to say?"

Zhu Guoxiang said seriously: "I have two crops, which are obtained from overseas, called corn and sweet potatoes. Even if they are planted in mountainous areas, corn can yield one stone per mu. If planted on good land, two stones can be harvested. As for sweet potatoes, it is similar to Taro is generally eaten from its rhizome, and the yield per acre is higher."

One stone per mu is the yield without chemical fertilizers and after corn seeds have degraded. If they are all improved varieties and chemical fertilizers are used, the maximum yield per mu can be more than ten stones...

Lu Tixue was surprised and said: "Growing grain in the mountains yields one stone per mu?"

Zhu Guoxiang nodded and said: "The sweet potatoes and corn have been planted. In two months, the corn will be harvested."

"Where to plant it?" Lu Tixue asked.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "It's in this village."

Lu Tixue's expression became extremely serious: "Take me to see it tomorrow! If it is true, I will promote it throughout Lizhou Road."
