Chapter 380 Qingyou Chases Over
Chapter 380 Qingyou Chases Over
Meng Ke is very proactive. After dinner, he started to look up ginseng planting techniques. Human culture has not been interrupted, and the planting methods of the ancient blue planet are quite comprehensive. However, after verification by the Alliance Agricultural Science Academy, those methods are ineffective. Because there is no shortage of ginseng seeds, the Agricultural Science Academy even proposed many new planting plans, but they all ended in failure. So, what should we do if we want to grow ginseng in the interstellar space?
Because of his identity, Meng Ke could easily get all the methods that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had tried. Even if they could not serve as a reference, they could at least serve as a exclusion.
"Wife, what is this?"
Luo Tian stretched out his pink and white fingers and poked the small red bead in Meng Ke's palm.
"These are ginseng seeds."
"Ginseng? Does my wife want to grow ginseng?"
Today's Luo Tian is no longer the Luo Tian of the past. In order to study medicine, he memorized a lot of knowledge about medicinal plants, including the magical ginseng.
I heard that ginseng cannot be grown in space yet. Before humans connected to the Ancient Blue Star, they could only consume the limited stock. With the arrival of compatriots from the Ancient Blue Star in recent years, the supply of ginseng has increased significantly.
"Lian Ye said that ginseng has the effect of prolonging life. Unfortunately, it grows on the ancient blue planet. Even after thousands of years, the potion it produces is of very limited use to interstellar humans."
There was a gleam in Meng Ke's eyes. She studied ginseng not only to fulfill her promise to Xiang Ran, but also for a more important reason, she also wanted to extend Luo Tian's life.
Luo Tian also thought of this, and was somewhat moved as he hugged his wife's arm and shook it: "Wife, are you planting this to prolong my life?"
"no!"
Luo Tian pouted and looked at his wife dissatisfiedly. He didn’t believe it!
Meng Ke thought her husband was so cute at that moment, so she leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
Luo Tian didn't know why, even though he was pregnant with their second child, his face felt slightly hot when his wife kissed him so affectionately. He could tell without even a brain image that it must have been very red.
He was not convinced. Seeing his wife leaning forward to take out a planting pot, he quickly went over and gave it a good sip. There was still no sound, but Meng Ke's face did not turn red. Luo Tian felt a little embarrassed and covered his hot face without looking at his wife.
Seeing his wife indifferent, he became dissatisfied again: "Wife, do you not love me anymore?"
Meng wanted to plant the seeds as soon as possible, but that didn't mean she was willing to ignore her dear husband. After hearing her husband's doubts, she didn't care about planting any ginseng anymore. She quickly stood up and hugged him and kissed him: "How could it be?! I love my husband Tiantian the most!"
Luo Tian was so delighted by the coaxing that he was about to speak when his eyes suddenly flashed and he asked a fatal question: "Which of the four of us do you love the most?"
Meng Ke: ???!!!!
Even if the other three weren't here, she wouldn't dare go back rashly, for fear that a family war might break out.
"Love them all."
You can choose a standard answer to the dream.
Luo Tian was obviously very dissatisfied. He hugged his wife's neck and insisted on hearing what he wanted to hear.
Meng Ke was helpless and pinched his nose: "Have you forgotten that I am a high-level psychic? I felt it before Qingyou even walked in."
Luo Tian felt a little guilty after being exposed.
Qingyou took a long step and sat down next to Mengke, continuing the previous topic: "That's right, I also want to know, which of the four of us does your wife love more."
Meng Ke glared at him: "Why are you as childish as Tiantian!"
Luo Tian felt like the sky was falling, tears welling up in his eyes: "Wife, do you think I'm childish?!"
Meng Ke's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she said the wrong thing. It seemed that today was not a good day to grow ginseng. She hugged him and tried to comfort him, and finally made Luo Tian smile.
But I don’t know what Qingyou was thinking. This was the first time she competed with Luo Tian for favor, and her words were sour: "It seems I shouldn’t have come. My wife is too busy to pay attention to me."
He was blaming himself for ignoring him just now. Meng Ke quickly hugged her husband with one hand and said sweet words one after another as if they were free.
Alas! In my previous life, when I read Mary Sue novels, I only thought they were sweet to the core. But when I really enjoyed the happiness of having two lovers, I realized that they were so sweet that you could choke to death if you weren’t careful.
"What are you going to plant?"
Qingyou was a little curious when he saw the small flowerpot in front of him. Ever since his wife developed the planet under her name in a hurry, she planted everything in batches and paid great attention to efficiency. It was rare for her to plant only one pot like this.
Meng Ke opened her palm and showed the bright red fruit to Qingyou: "This is the seed of a ginseng that is more than 4,000 years old. I want to try and see if I can successfully grow it."
"My wife will definitely be fine."
Qingyou is very confident in Mengke's abilities.
Meng Ke himself was not very confident: "The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has never been successful, and I am not very confident either."
Qingyou is the commander and the most knowledgeable of all professions. In order to make more accurate judgments, they even have to learn pharmacy, which includes the characteristics of plants.
He had actually heard of ginseng, but he didn't know much about it. He only knew that it was a specialty of Gulande and could be used to make recovery potions.
"Do you want me to ask someone to get you some more aged ginseng seeds?"
"Do you have any idea about this?"
Meng Ke remembered that ginseng was very common in his previous life, but ginseng that was very old was hard to come by, and it was impossible to get the best one without certain means.
Qingyou nodded: "I know someone on Gulan Star. I'll ask for you later and let you know when I have the result."
"Ok!"
Meng Ke was not in a hurry. He had a pill in his hand and was determined to try it.
Just as she was about to take action, she thought of something and stood up to discuss with Qingyou: "By the way, ask him if he can send some small ginseng seedlings over. I want to try them all."
"it is good!"
After saying that, Qingyou got up and went to contact the people over there.
Meng Ke carefully handled the seeds in her hand. She had a hunch that if ginseng could be successfully grown in the interstellar space, Luo Tian's life span would definitely be extended.
Even if it can only be extended for three to five years, or even a few months, it would be fine.
Maybe with those extra months, she could find a way to extend her life even further.
"Honey, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing his wife staring at the ginseng seeds in her hand in a daze, Luo Tian couldn't help but come forward and ask.
Meng Ke chuckled: "I was wondering, if ginseng could really be grown in interstellar space, would the lifespan of interstellar humans be extended by three to five years, or even more than ten years?"
"Three to five years, or even more than ten years is unlikely. However, there have been reports that if interstellar ginseng cultivation is successful, it could be extended by one to two years."
Meng Ke's eyes sparkled: "It would be great if it could be extended for a year or two!"
She turned around and processed the seeds with more energy. Luo Tian also understood what his wife meant, and he felt so sweet in his heart. His wife was so nice!
Meng Ke felt that the seed skin was too hard, and was about to have it scraped, purified, and soaked in water for a one-stop service. However, as soon as she took out the scraper, her right arm was tightly hugged by Tiantian's husband. She tried to move it, but failed.
My husband looked so engrossed, he must be thinking about something wonderful. I couldn't bear to interrupt his dream, so I had to hold the seeds in my left hand and grind them carefully on the grindstone in my right hand.
Interstellar people have this advantage. Their mental power can detect the thickness of the seed skin. Meng Ke only stopped after grinding it down to a very thin layer of skin.
She took out a cup and poured water into it. Previous researchers had tried using fresh-keeping containers and carefully treated water but were unsuccessful, so this time Meng Ke used an ordinary drinking cup and tap water. The radiation in the water was not very high, so she used it directly without purifying it.
After the seeds were soaked, she handed the cup to the housekeeping robot: "Put it in the sunroom on the roof. Every day at this time, remember to go upstairs and change the water. Just change the water in this bottle."
"Yes, ma'am!"
The butler robot, dressed in a black butler outfit, bowed respectfully and went upstairs with a cup of water.
Qingyou came in at this time and told Mengke the good news: "My friend happens to have thousand-year-old ginseng and seeds. He promised to send them over today. He can also get the ginseng seedlings you mentioned. How many do you want? And what year?"
"Ten years, twenty years, thirty years... Ten plants from each decade. Of course, the years aren't limited to ten years, we'll probably want any within that year."
"Yeah! I'll tell him."
Qingyou sent a message on the spot.
Meng Ke was curious: "Do the ancient blue people also use optical computers now?"
