Chapter 727: Harvest
The blue sky, spotless and crystal clear in late autumn. The morning glow fell on the ground, cloning the earth with a new layer of red.
Yun Qing held the jujube in his hand, leaned on the carriage and said, "Did you come out too early?" "As soon as Zao Zao went out, he was so happy, he wanted to see the cattle and cattle outside, and he wanted to watch the birds for a while.
Yuxi hugged the sleeping Liu'er: "Come out early, so you can go back early." As soon as Liu Er got into the carriage, she began to catch up on sleep. Jujube is so loud and willow is not affected, this sleep quality makes Yuxi breathtaking.
The husband and wife got Han Ji's words, saying that the first crop of potatoes planted on Zhuangzi had been harvested in the past two days. The two of them picked the past today to see how many potatoes could be produced in the next land.
Zao Zao felt bored staying in the carriage, so he put his arm around Yunqing's neck and said, "Dad, horse, I want to ride a horse." "It's too boring to stay in the carriage, but it's still fun to ride a horse.
Seeing Yunqing looking at him, Yuxi said with a smile: "If you want to take her on a horse, then go!" "Not only jujubes, but also Liu'er will learn to ride horses in the future.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll go." "He didn't really like to sit in a carriage either. Riding in a carriage, where there is freedom to ride a horse. I have to say that jujube not only looks like Yunqing, but even his temperament and preferences are like Yunqing.
Yuxi put Liu'er down, and then lay down next to Liu'er. It was also the Qiu clan who did too much in the carriage some time ago, so this time the Qiu clan was reluctant to follow Yuxi to Zhuangzi.
After walking for more than half an hour, the group arrived at Zhuangzi. Yuxi asked Mama Quan to take jujube and play with Liu'er in the yard, while she and Yunqing were going to collect the artichoke from the field in person.
Amber was already in the field by this time, but he was tending to the field that he had planted in October. Seeing Yunqing and Yuxi, regardless of the mud on the ground, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Hurry up, I have to bother you to teach us to harvest potatoes today!" "Yuxi has been in two lives, and this is the first time to do farm work in the field.
Han Ji acted as an interpreter on the side.
Amber was a little surprised and a little frightened. Under Han Ji's relief, Amber took the hoe, muttered, and then raised the hoe and made a demonstration.
Han Ji explained: "General, ma'am, you have to dig with a hoe. When digging, be sure to look at the direction, if the artichoke is dug up, it is not easy to preserve, it is easy to break. ”
Yuxi listened very carefully, and after listening, he raised his hoe and dug down, digging out seven or eight, but two of them were broken. Putting down the hoe, Yuxi personally picked up the potatoes from the ground one by one and put them in the basket. Each of these artichokes was the size of an egg, and Yuxi just held it with one hand.
After Yuxi picked it up, he followed Yunqing who was standing next to him and said, "A seedling is more than half a catty, and these two points of land should be able to collect three hundred catties." "Even if the wind and rain are smooth, one acre of wheat field under the ground is only three or four hundred catties.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "After collecting it, go down the scale and see how many there are." "It can really be promoted in the northwest, which is really a great joy for the country and the people.
In two points, the effort was finished in the blink of an eye, and he took a scale, a total of three hundred and twelve catties. It is equivalent to one acre of land that can harvest more than 1,000 catties of artichoke. And the seeds of this artichoke one acre of land only need forty or fifty catties, so Yuxi's eyes are so bright that they can shine.
Yunqing also had a smile on his face and said, "Then let's taste it at noon and see how it tastes." "In fact, even if it tastes bad, it has to be promoted. In the event of a famine, even if it is unpalatable, it is a life-saving thing.
Yuxi was a little amused and said, "Haven't you eaten it?" Why did you forget jì? "Yuxi has a deep memory of the taste of artichoke.
Yunqing really forgot about it.
It was still early for lunch, and the couple did not immediately go back to the yard, but walked around the farm. There are a lot of things raised on the Zhuangzi, chickens, ducks, fish, and cattle and sheep.
Walk to the edge of the pond and watch the bait swim leisurely in the pond. Suddenly, a fish jumps out of the water and falls back into the water, causing ripples in circles and circles.
Yuxi couldn't help but say: "Herui, when we have time, let's come to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days!" "Fishing, looking at the scenery, it's also good.
Yun Qing nodded with a smile and said, "You can live here today." ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's not today, my mother and sister-in-law are still in the mansion!" "Besides, there are still a lot of things to do in the mansion, and I can't leave.
Han Ji said, "Madam, I plan to wait for the beginning of spring to plant lotus roots in this pond. "The pond is only for fish, which is a bit wasteful.
Yuxi nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good to plant lotus roots." "When you plant lotus roots, you can not only eat lotus roots, but also lotus leaves, lotus stems, lotus seeds and other things.
Han Ji hurriedly said, "Madame likes it." It was also Han Ji who knew Yuxi's preferences, so he deliberately doubled the pond. Otherwise, this lotus root would have been planted long ago.
After turning around, the husband and wife returned to the yard and saw Zao Zao holding a little rooster and having a good time.
looked at the jujube with messy hair like a bird's nest and chicken feces on his clothes. Yuxi said to Yunqing beside him: "You go and change your clothes for Zao Zao!" ”
Zao Zao handed the little in his arms to Yun Qing, who approached her, and said happily; "Daddy, little rooster, stew and eat."
Yuxi didn't care about the interaction between the father and daughter, and went directly into the house. Looking at Liu Er lying on the bed without saying a word, Yuxi walked over and picked her up, and asked Mama Quan: "When did you eat milk?" "Jujube dates will be weaned in ten months, and Liu'er will still eat them. As for when we will be weaned, it has not yet been decided.
Quan Mama smiled and said, "I just ate it two quarters of an hour ago." The second girl's appetite is very good, and the nurse's milk is not enough, so I have asked the cook to stew egg custard for her. "Liu Er began to eat complementary food when she was four months old, more than a month earlier than jujubes.
At this time, the cry of jujube came to the house. Yuxi smiled and shook his head: "I'm really worried that when I grow up, I will be a tomboy." ”
Mama Quan didn't like to hear this, and said: "When Zao Zao is five years old, I have to start teaching her the rules." "The etiquette of everyone's ladies must be learned.
Yuxi also has this idea, but she is worried that she will not be able to control this girl when the time comes: "Zao Zao is protected by Uncle Huo and He Rui, I am afraid that I will not listen to me when the time comes." ”
Mama Quan didn't worry about this, and said: "As long as Huo Changqing and the general really love jujubes, they won't stop them." "Martial arts and riding and archery can be learned as survival skills, but basic etiquette is also essential.
Yuxi smiled, she didn't argue with Mama Quan, and after two years, Mama knew how difficult it was to do this. is wild, and I still want to tie her, how can I tie it. Of course, Yuxi doesn't really want Zao Zao to be bound by various rules like her.
At lunchtime, in addition to a table of rustic dishes full of color and aroma, there is also a large plate of steamed potatoes. Today, the artichoke is used as a staple food.
Yunqing took one and was about to put it in his mouth to eat. Han Ji hurriedly said, "General, this artichoke has to be peeled and eaten again." “
After peeling the skin, Yunqing put the whole artichoke in his mouth and chewed it slowly. After swallowing it, he nodded towards Yuxi and said, "It tastes good." Rustle, with a hint of sweetness. ”
Yuxi pays attention to eating without saying a word, but today's situation is special, Yuxi asked Han Ji: "In addition to steaming and eating, can there be other ways to eat?" ”
Han Ji pointed to a plate of dishes on the table and said, "Madam, in addition to steaming and eating, this artichoke can also be eaten as a dish." This plate of hot and sour shredded artichoke tastes very good. ”
Yuxi took a bite and nodded: "Well, eating this dish in summer is more appetizing......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Yun Qing's brows wrinkled and knotted.
Yunqing doesn't like to eat sour, but he cherishes food very much, so he can only eat it hard. But that painful look, those who don't know think he's taking poison!
Yuxi saw that he didn't speak, but he pursed his lips and smiled,
After lunch, Yunqing and Yuxi went back to the city. On the way, Yunqing said to Yuxi: "This artichoke can be planted on a large scale next year." ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "There are too few seeds, so it is impossible to plant them on a large scale." I'm going to let Tian Yang go to Fujian again. "Now that we are sure that we can grow it, we naturally have to buy it in large quantities.
Yunqing said: "Let Shangda take some people to go with Tian Yang!" "Before, Yunqing felt that this thing was not alive in the northwest, and he didn't pay attention to it. Now that I know that this thing can be grown and the yield is still so high, it naturally has to be treated as a big deal.
Yuxi nodded and said, "Okay." I hope they can bring the seeds back this time. "Fujian and Jiangxi are now rampant with bandits and thieves, which is even worse than in the northwest before, and in this case, the merchants are very dangerous.
That night, Qiu proposed to Yuxi to move out. Seeing that Yuxi disagreed, Qiu Shi said with a smile: "The place where we live is only a quarter of an hour away from Yunfu, and it is not far away, if you want to see your mother, come directly." "The mansion that Yuxi gave the Han family to live in is not only good, but also close.
The Choo clan wanted to move out because they felt that Yuxi was too busy. The group of them lived in Yunfu, which was to add trouble to Yuxi, so she insisted on moving out.
Yuxi couldn't resist Qiu's, so he could only agree: "Mother, I'm sorry, you've been here for so long, I don't have time to accompany you well." ”
Qiu Shi touched Yuxi's hair and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's all stupid." Mother knows that you have not been idle since you were a child, and it is good to be like this now. "There's nothing to do, Yuxi will be embarrassed. There is something to do, but it is full of energy. Just like now, Yuxi is a little busy, but the whole person is in excellent spirits.
Yuxi asked: "Mother, sister-in-law's medicinal diet, should Grandma Quan prepare it and send it to the Han Mansion, or will she send the medicine over to boil it herself after it is ready?" ”
The boiling effect of the same medicinal herbs is very different from that of different people, and the Qiu family still knows this. Qiu said: "Let Grandma Quan do it and send it to Yunfu!" ”
Yuxi nodded.
ps: There was a power outage early this morning, and I asked a friend to help update. R1148
