The blue sky is spotless and crystal clear in late autumn. The morning glow falls on the ground, putting on a new layer of red clothes for the earth.
Holding jujube in his hand, Yun Qing leaned against the carriage and said, "is it too early to come out?" As soon as jujube goes out, it's not happy. It's going to look at the cattle and the birds. It's not noisy. There's no rest.
Yuxi then hugs the sleeping liu'er: "come out early, also can go back early." As soon as Liu Er got on the carriage, she began to mend her sleep. Jujube and jujube are so loud that Liu Er is not affected. The quality of sleep is amazing to Yuxi.
The husband and wife got Hanji's words, saying that the first Potato Planted in Chuang Tzu had to be harvested these two days. They chose today to see how much potato they could produce in the next area.
Jujube felt that it was boring to stay in the carriage. He put his arms around Yunqing's neck and said, "Dad, horse, I want to ride a horse." It's too boring to stay in the carriage. It's better to ride.
Seeing Yunqing looking at himself, Yuxi said jokingly, "if you want to take her on a horse, go!" Not only jujube, but also liuer will learn to ride.
Yunqing said with a smile, "then I will go." He didn't like to sit in a carriage, either. Riding in a carriage is not easy. It has to be said that jujube is not only like Yunqing, but also like Yunqing.
Yuxi puts liu'er down and lies beside her. It was also Qiu who had done too much riding in a carriage some time ago, so this time Qiu didn't want to follow Yuxi to Chuang Tzu.
After walking for more than half an hour, a group of people arrived at Zhuangzi. Yuxi asked all Mammy to play in the yard with jujube and liuer, while she and Yunqing were going to collect the potato in person.
Amber was already in the field by this time, but he was working on the field planted in October. Seeing Yunqing and Yuxi, regardless of the mud on the ground, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed three heads.
Yuxi said with a smile, "hurry up, I have to bother you to teach us how to collect potato today." For the first time in Yuxi's two lives, he worked in the fields.
Hanji is on the side as a translator.
Amber listened to some accidents and some fears. Under Hanji's comfort, amber took the hoe, grunted, and then raised the hoe to make a demonstration.
Hanji explained: "general, madam, you have to dig with a hoe. When digging, be sure to look at the direction. If the potato is damaged, it will not be easy to preserve and easy to be damaged. "
Yuxi listened very carefully. After listening, he raised his hoe to dig down and dug out seven or eight, but two of them were damaged. Put down the hoe, Yuxi picked up the potato one by one from the ground and put it in the basket. Each of these taros is the size of an egg, and Yuxi just holds it in one hand.
"Yuxi picked up the heel and stood next to Yunqing said:" a seedling has more than half a Jin, the two points should be able to receive a 300 Jin Even if the weather is favorable, the wheat field of a mu of inferior land is only three or four hundred jin.
Yun Qing said with a smile, "I'm finished. I'll take a look at how many are there." It's a great joy for the country and the people to promote it in the northwest.
In the twinkling of an eye, I have finished my work. Take a scale and weigh it. It's 312 Jin in total. It is equal to that one mu of land can harvest more than one thousand jin of potato. And the planting of one acre of potato only needs 40 or 50 Jin. In this way, Yuxi's eyes can shine.
Yunqing also smiled and said, "let's have a taste at noon to see how it tastes." In fact, even if the taste is bad, it has to be promoted. In case of famine, even if it's hard to eat, it's a life-saving thing.
Yuxi was a little funny and said, "haven't you eaten it? How can I forget? " Yuxi has a deep memory of the taste of potato.
Yunqing really forgot.
Lunch time is still early, the couple did not immediately return to the yard, but in the farm around. There are many things in Zhuangzi, including chickens, ducks, fish, cattle and sheep.
Go to the edge of the pond and watch the baits in the pond swim leisurely. All of a sudden, a fish jumped out of the water and fell back into the water, making waves one after another.
Yuxi couldn't help but say, "Herui, let's stay in Chuang Tzu for a few days when we have time!" Fishing and seeing the scenery are also good.
Yunqing smiled and nodded, "we can live here today."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I can't do it today. My mother and my sister-in-law are still in the mansion!" Moreover, there is still a lot of work to be done in the mansion, which is too busy to leave.
"Madam, I'm going to plant lotus roots in this pond after the Spring Festival," Hanji said The pond is a waste of fish.
Yuxi is very satisfied with the location of the first way: "lotus root, very good." Planted lotus root, not only have lotus root to eat, still have lotus leaf, lotus stem, lotus seed to wait for thing to be able to use.
Hanji said hurriedly, "just like it, madam." It's also Han Ji who knows Yuxi's preference, which has doubled the width of the pond. Otherwise, the lotus root would have been planted long ago.
Turn a circle, husband and wife two people return to yard, see jujube is holding a little cock, play very happy.
Looking at the hair disorderly with bird's nest, clothes also stained with chicken excrement jujube. Yuxi said to Yunqing, "go and change your clothes for jujube!"
Jujube jujube hands the little rooster in her arms to Yun Qing, who approaches her, and says happily, "Dad, little rooster, stew and eat."
Yuxi didn't take care of the interaction between father and daughter, and went directly into the house. Looking at liu'er lying on the bed, she said nothing. Yuxi went over to pick her up and asked mother Quan, "when did you eat the milk?" Jujube and jujube will be weaned in ten months. Liu Er is still eating them. As for when to wean, it's not decided yet.
Mother Quan said with a smile, "I just ate it two quarter of an hour ago. The two girls have a good appetite. The milk is not enough. I have asked the cook to stew the egg soup for her. " Liu'er began to eat complementary food at the age of four months, more than a month earlier than jujube.
At this time, the cry of jujube came to the house. Yuxi smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid that when I grow up, I will be a tomboy."
Mother Quan didn't like to hear this. She said, "when the date is five years old, we have to start teaching her rules." It is necessary to learn the etiquette of ladies.
Yuxi also has this idea, but she is worried that she can't control the girl at that time: "jujube has Huo shuheel and He Rui to protect it, for fear that she won't listen to me at that time."
All mammy don't worry about this, said: "as long as Huo Changqing and the general really love jujube, they will not stop." Martial arts, riding and shooting can be learned as survival skills, but basic etiquette is also essential.
Yuxi smiled and didn't argue with all Mammy. After two years, Mammy knew how difficult it was. My heart is wild. I want to hold her. How can I hold her. Of course, Yuxi doesn't want jujube to be bound by all kinds of rules like her.
At lunch time, in addition to a table full of color and flavor of rural food, there is also a large plate of steamed potato. Today's potato is used as a staple food.
Yunqing takes one and is about to put it into his mouth. Hanji said: "general, this potato must be peeled before eating. "
after peeling, Yunqing will put the whole potato in his mouth and chew it slowly. After swallowing, he nodded to Yuxi and said, "it's not bad. It's rusty and a little sweet. "
Yuxi pays attention to eating and sleeping, but today's situation is special. Yuxi asks Hanji, "besides steaming, is there any other way to eat?"
Han Ji pointed to a dish on the table and said, "madam, apart from steaming, this potato can also be used as a dish. This dish of hot and sour potato silk is delicious. "
Yuxi took a bite and nodded, "well, it's quite appetizing to eat this dish in summer..." Before he finished speaking, Yunqing's eyebrows were all knotted.
Yunqing doesn't like sour food, but he takes good care of the food, so he can only eat it on his own. But that painful appearance, don't know still think he is taking poison!
Yuxi saw no words, but chuckled,
after lunch, Yunqing and Yuxi went back to the city. On the way, Yunqing and Yuxi said, "this potato can be planted on a large scale next year."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "there are too few seeds to be planted in a large area. I'm going to let Tian Yang go to Fujian again. " Since it is certain that it can be planted, it is natural to buy in large quantities.
Yun Qing said, "let Shangda take some people with Tian Yang!" Before that, Yunqing felt that this thing was not alive in the northwest, and he didn't pay attention to it. Now that we know that this stuff can be planted and its output is so high, we have to do it as a matter of course.
Yuxi nodded, "OK. I hope they can bring the seeds back smoothly. " Fujian, Jiangxi and other places are now rampant with bandits and thieves, which is more dangerous than the previous northwest. In this case, business is very dangerous.
That night, Qiu and Yuxi proposed to move out. Seeing Yuxi's disagreement, Qiushi said with a smile, "we live just over a quarter of an hour away from Yunfu, and not far away. If you want to see your mother, come directly." Yuxi's house for Han's family is not only good, but also near.
Qiu wants to move out. He thinks Yuxi is too busy. They lived in Yunfu together to increase the trouble for Yuxi, so she was determined to move out.
Yuxi doesn't care about Qiushi, but she can only promise: "Niang, I'm sorry, you've been here so long, I don't have time to accompany you."
Qiu touched Yuxi's hair and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I'm really stupid. My mother knows that you have been busy since you were a child. Now it's very good. " When there is nothing to do, Yuxi will be very sad. I have something to do, but I'm very happy. Just like now, Yuxi is busy, but the whole spirit is excellent.
Yuxi asked: "Niang, is the medicine meal of sister-in-law made by nanny Quan sent to Han's mansion, or is it better to send the medicine to her boil after it is prepared?"
The effect of the same medicine is different from that of human beings. Qiu still knows that. Qiushi said, "let's let all mammy do it well and send it to Yunfu."
Yuxi nodded.
PS: the power was cut off early this morning. I asked my friend to help me update.
