Chapter 417: Summer Ice
I thought that I could idle for a few days after getting the overturned car, but I didn't expect that this was just a beginning.
In the past two days, Yuan Dake and Zhang Bao brought a group of people here to hang out when they were fine, checking the growth of the rice fields for a while, and observing the operation of the overturned car for a while. And when it comes to meals, it has become a common practice to mix a meal.
No, it's another big noon, and Yuan Dake doesn't know which county order to bring to inspect the work......
It's summer, and the sun is shining! The heat between heaven and earth is like a steamer, and the thin layer of tiles on the wooden roof has long been sunburned.
Once you enter the house, you will follow up like a sauna! Even if the craftsman lined the tiles with a thick layer of straw a few days ago, it was useless, and it was still hot.
This kind of day is not to stay in the house to find guilt, while the sky is not yet hot, Xiao Han has already come to the crooked neck willow tree. Lying comfortably on the recliner, there was a sip of tea.
"Xiao Hou? Xiao Hou? Someone ran over from behind the tree, and when he saw Xiao Han under the tree, he quickly bent his waist and got into the shade.
"Xiao Hou, you are really leisurely..."The person who came running was Lao Feng, since the last time Xiao Han wrote his name on the recital, he ran in more diligently! Fortunately, Xiao Han is all male from people to livestock, otherwise he would have to be misunderstood that Lao Feng wants the old tree to bloom and come every day to offer hospitality......
"Oh, Lao Feng, come on, take a sip of tea!" Seeing that it was Lao Feng, Xiao Han didn't even bother to get up, and raised his hand weakly, even if he had said hello. This damn weather, there is not even a little cool breeze, who likes to move?
Lao Feng estimated that he was also hot, so he sat on the ground, wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, and at the same time picked up the teacup on the desk and poured it into his mouth.
After drinking three cups of tea in a row and drying up the last drop of water in the teapot, Lao Feng exhaled comfortably, took off the straw hat on his head and fanned the wind vigorously.
"Master Hou, why are you so ...... in this dress? Odd? The wind didn't fan a few times, Lao Feng suddenly felt that Xiao Han was a little different today, and then took a closer look, what was he wearing? Why don't you even have a button?
Xiao Han seemed to have explained this dress more than once, and after pulling the collar to breathe, he said to Lao Feng: "Hey, don't mention it!" Those clothes are so cumbersome that they almost didn't kill me on this hot day! I made such a body on purpose, don't say it, it's really cool, do you want it? I'll give you a set if you want it. ”
"This... It's still not necessary......" Lao Feng looked at Xiao Han who was dressed in short-sleeved pants enviously, hesitated for a long time and shook his head and refused. No one dared to say anything about this dress Xiao Han worn, and it was estimated that he would be sprayed into a sieve by those old men when he wore it.
Seeing that Lao Feng was reluctant to wear such trendy clothes as him, Xiao Han was not reluctant, and yawned: "Don't? Don't say I didn't give you ang! By the way, what are you doing here, haven't you been preparing land in the county for the past two days? What's the problem? ”
Hearing Xiao Han ask about business, Lao Feng immediately straightened up and said to Xiao Han: "No problem, what can be the problem with this?" When the people of the county heard that they could grow this kind of food, they were crazy with joy! Almost day and night, the wasteland near the river beach has been sorted out, the ridges have been erected, and after a few more hard ploughing, water can be diverted to grow food! ”
Xiao Han listened with his eyes closed, nodded, and said to Lao Feng, "Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Ren Qing said that the grain here still has nearly ten days to harvest, plus the seedlings, there is still plenty of time! Also, you didn't forget to tell them that these grains are still going to be used as seeds, so you can't take them home and eat them! ”
Lao Feng smiled and said, "This is nature!" Everyone knows the truth of starving to death and not eating grain! They don't want this season's harvest, they just want to be able to grow this kind of high-yield grain in the future! ”
After Xiao Han heard this, he shook his head and said to Lao Feng: "This is not good, the peasant family is not rich in the first place, we can't let them suffer!" You tell them that when this batch of grain is ready, the imperial court will buy it at the price of high-quality grain! If you plant well, there will be a reward, and other counties will do the same, and they will do the same! ”
"Hou Ye Gaoyi!" Hearing Xiao Han's arrangement, Lao Feng immediately extended a thumbs up to Xiao Han in admiration. He didn't expect Xiao Han to think about it so carefully, so his last bit of worry was gone.
Listening to Lao Feng praising himself, Xiao Han laughed and said to him: "Okay, don't pat me on the back, I can't give you a promotion and make a fortune!" ”
Lao Feng also laughed and said, "I really don't expect to be promoted and get rich." Right now, I hope to benefit one place for the sake of the official. ”
Xiao Han smiled and waved his hand, without saying anything more.
In fact, in his opinion, most of the officials in Datang are good officials who are sincere in their work. For example, Lao Feng in front of him, and Yuan Dake for them.
On a hot day, it was clear that something could be solved with an order, but he had to come here with a bunch of county orders and old farmers to see for himself. Poor Zhang Bao was already a little fat, but now in the sun, he is black and fat, and he can't look at it......
As the first and second in command of an administrative city, under the big sun, no one gives them an umbrella! He led the people to the edge of the paddy field, and as soon as he took off his shoes, he went down to the mud field to observe the rice! After reading it one day, the dignified history of thorns and the city guard are the same as mud monkeys, which makes people laugh at a glance.
But this is not their own guilt, let alone a show like the future generations! Just because they know very well: the peasants also have the little cunning of the peasants, and they can only see it with their own eyes! In the future, they will concentrate on growing food well, instead of fiddling with it at will in order to fool their superiors.
Under the tree, Xiao Han and Lao Feng were chatting. In the distance, the fat cook, wearing a big hat, came to them at a trot.
"Master Hou, here you go!" didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his fat face, so the fat chef hurriedly took out two bamboo tubes from the blanket behind his back and handed them to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han looked at the bamboo tube and immediately came to his senses. Yigulu sat up from the recliner, took the bamboo tube, and shook it vigorously. Seeing Lao Feng's curious appearance, he hesitated, handed him one and motioned for him to open it.
"Master Hou, what is this?" Lao Feng took the bamboo tube and looked left and right, and when he saw Xiao Han's mysterious look, he frowned, and with a force of both hands, he pulled off its lid.
"Bang ......" There was a crisp sound, maybe Lao Feng's strength was a little big, and the sound was very loud when the lid was pulled out! A few drops of water splashed on his face from the bamboo tube, causing him to shiver violently, this water is cold!
"Ice? How can there be ice here? Touching the water droplets on his face, Lao Feng strangely looked into the bamboo tube, several square Xiaoice cubes were floating leisurely on the water, and a cool breath came to his face.
Hearing Lao Feng's question, the fat chef's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at Xiao Han worriedly, for fear that the loser Hou Ye would tell him about the method of making ice again.
This is a miracle of summer ice extraction! Who would have believed that someone could have made ice in this weather if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes? If nothing else, with this hand, you can also exchange for countless money in the future! After all, who doesn't want to cool off with some ice cubes in the summer?
