A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

A guest room in the Elvis Count's residence when Takeo and the others were having lunch.

Grandpa Elvis and Alice were having lunch, too.

"Curry, croquettes and cream croquettes.

After dinner, the sweets are the tweezers... but I'm going to attack them. "

Takeo-sama will grab Valeri-sama and Gloria-sama's stomach bag.

"Hah... we are too, but the power of cooking is amazing."

"Yes, it's a good thing that it's not a big amount."

"It would be cheap if the Emperor of the Demon Kingdom and the Dragon Lord would be satisfied with this kind of expense."

If you two were officially visiting the capital, it would be a very lavish meal. "

"Is it luxurious... what would happen if Takeo-sama did it with the same amount of money..."

... it's going to be a ridiculous thing.

Well, thanks to Takeo's presence, I can cook for the king of the neighboring country. "

"Since Takeo-sama is here, something unknown is happening that the king of the neighboring country is coming to visit."

... that's good and bad, right?

On the whole, diplomacy and territory have a positive impact. ”

"That's right... hnn?"

Alice nodded and then leaned her head.

"Alice, Emma and Chan are here."

Give me the red sweetness, it wasn't the sweet potato that Takeo brought me. "

Civiconoja appears on the desk and says:

“I brought you something, but I heard you left it by the front door and told the kids to go to the cafeteria.”

Yeah, I already had a meeting with Spirit Communications when Takeo came back.

I decided to experiment with cultivation in the Belte family.

Alice, let's go to the door. "

"Yes, yes.

Grandpa, I'll talk to you. "

Umu, the takéos will still take some time to eat, but it's better not to talk too long.

Yes.

Alice got up and headed for the door.





At the entrance of the Elvis Count's residence.

"Nh... you're so small."

Uka said as she checked the wooden box.

U-chan, how's it going?

Civiconoja asks.

... this place is located in the northeast of the country, and the temperature is low...

I wonder if seeding and replanting seedlings... would it be in time to plant them to make seedlings from now on... even more so if I were to try to bury them in potatoes like potatoes... nh...

Kono-chan, I'll do what I have to do.

And I want you to ask Takeo to import next season's seed potatoes so that they can be planted at the end of March or early April. ”

Uka says.

Well, maybe in the middle of March?

"Yeah, that's fine."

Sweet potatoes are vegetables that are easy to grow, but... I think I'll buy some straw on my way home. "

Indeed, when the extended stems and leaves reach the ground, they make fruit?

"Yeah, if you plant a quarter of a potato, you'll just have to wait for it to grow. But if you cut the stem from the potato, plant it and root it... When the stem that grows next to you reaches the ground, the roots will come out of it, and you'll have to move the stem regularly."

"You're very vigorous."

"That's right.

Sweet potatoes are originally Kagoshima, right?

Because it is a vegetable that grows in places with low nutrition due to the influence of volcanic ash.

Rather, it would be bad if the fields were nourished. "

"Hmm.

If you come there and take all the trouble, you'll only be able to do small things. "

"Well, I want to send all the leaf nutrients to the first sweet potato I can get to Omoto."

If you send the nutrients to the stems along the way, they will be dispersed and the fruit will become smaller overall.

Even if you lay a straw, it won't prevent the roots from growing, but it will make it difficult to do so. "

"The wheat harvest is next month, right?"

"Yeah, I'll try collecting and laying straw cheaply because there will be a lot of straw at that time."

Well, this is the agricultural division of the Kitamizato family.

In the meantime, I'll focus on making some seeds this year and preparing the number of seed potatoes for next year.

I hope everyone can eat a little, but... let's see how it goes. "

Okay.

Civiconoja nods.

Then... and this... and this... and this...

The sea urchin gives you a slightly bigger sweet potato.

Yeah?

"I don't need so much."

I'll have a little dinner with the Enmas, but please eat this at the Elvis and Kitamizato houses. ”

I see.

Civiconoja nodded.

"The fertilizer test is going well, isn't it?"

"Yes, the cucumber is surprisingly large.

However, since the texture is not good when it is too large, I feel that the time from planting to harvesting is shorter than usual.

High-performance fertilizers may have a growth-enhancing effect.

The Economic Affairs Bureau and Donato and Bona are meeting, and if we can harvest it quickly, we will try to re-fill it with fertilizer and grow it again. ”

"... two harvests a year?"

"Yes, that would double the harvest."

I believe that if we can increase production, the price will be stable. "

"I see... you're doing all the good you can."

“Yes, it is now.

The idea is that after harvesting twice, the nutrients in the fields should not be exhausted, so we want to see what happens to the fields after growing twice. ”

Emma says.

I see, you have to check a lot.

Alice nodded.

“That's the work of the Kitamizato family's agriculture department.

Other than rice, it is like testing fertilizers and using fertilizers as objects.

Ah, yes, dandelions are also growing at a tremendous pace.

Nilde and Jilda will check how many times a year we can do this. ”

"Hey, you're doing well, right?"

Alice was impressed.
