This beef was made very soft by grandpa, the tendons and fat are very small, the beef is tender, the oil flowers in the meat pieces are evenly distributed, and it tastes fragrant and tender, without a little grassy smell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info chewed the beef pieces carefully, and the mouth full of juice and thick flavor made people want to fly happily.

Eating the delicious roast beef with radish, Xie Yujiao forgot all her troubles for the time being.

When she finished eating and sat by the stove to eat, she remembered the grandfather of the Wang family she saw when she came back at noon.

Compared with the grandfather of the Wang family, he and his grandfather are really happy.

Perhaps compared to most families in the village, his life with his grandfather is considered luxurious.

Grandpa's ten catties of beef can buy pork for a year in most people's homes.

As for grandpa, just because she hadn't eaten such good beef, she cut a small half of it and burned it this time.

For the rest, at most, two grandfathers and grandchildren can wipe out the light.

The habit of eating meat in the Qu family is not surprising in Xie Yujiao's life cognition in her previous life, in that era, in that country, most people's lives are like this.

Nowadays, it is common for ordinary people, especially peasant families, not to eat meat for a month or two, and their lives are as hard as those of African refugees in that era.

When she thought of the difficult days when the villagers around her were hungry, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, especially when her grandfather said that in the year of famine, there were many people who starved to death.

She thought, what is the purpose of fate for her to come to the Song Dynasty more than a thousand years ago?

What can she do for these people?

However, when she thought about it, she couldn't think of any special skills she had, and she had only lived twenty-six years longer than others at most, and she didn't have any golden fingers.

"Grandpa, today I saw Grandpa Wang's barefoot in the field!" Xie Yujiao's muffled voice sounded.

"Well, what's wrong?" The old man added charcoal to the stove and asked without raising his head.

"On such a cold day, the water in the field is no different from snow water, it is very biting, how can the old man's body eat it? Isn't he afraid that Tian won't get his body good and break it first? ”

"This is also a helpless thing, the eldest and second of his family went out alone, he and his wife guarded the younger son, the younger son is only thirteen or fourteen years old, it is the time to eat and grow the body. I hope that there will be a good harvest every year, so that the family will not be without food for a long time. “

"Won't you be without food for a long time? That is, there will be a shortage of food? ”

"Not only the Wang family, but basically except for the two or three families in the village who have surplus grain, other families will run out of grain before the autumn harvest, and then try to find things from the mountains to fool around until the autumn harvest."

"It's so hard?" Xie Yujiao muttered.

The old man also sat down, lit the fire, and recalled: "Basically, in the entire Great Zhou, the current Great Song Dynasty, and the previous Great Zhou, there were farmers who had no harvest due to drought and flood every year and fell into despair. People who starved to death abounded, not only in the Great Zhou, but also in all dynasties, so the peasants relied on the sky to eat, and the heavens were unhappy, and a large number of people died. “

"Isn't there an effective solution in the imperial court?" Xie Yujiao looked at her grandfather and asked.

The old man shook his head, "What is the solution?" The yield of grain per mu is there, and the drought and flood are not caused by the sky, what else can be done? ”

yes, what else can be done?

When Yuan Longping developed hybrid rice, it was also in New China more than a thousand years later.

I remember that before the advent of hybrid rice, the yield of rice per mu was only six or seven hundred catties, and the people of the whole country were also suffering from grain shortages every year.

I always hear from the older generation that during the three-year Great Leap Forward of New China, tens of millions of people starved to death across the country!

Tens of millions! What horrible data!

Therefore, food production is a long-standing problem that mankind has not been able to tackle.

Xie Yujiao was not an agricultural major in her previous life, so she did not have the slightest constructive proposal for farming.

"Is there anything that can replace crops with high food yields?"

"That's what the peasant officials do? However, there are no new discoveries. ”

Xie Yujiao didn't want to continue this topic, she better go to sleep in her afternoon, maybe she would be in a much better mood after a good night's sleep.

She felt that she had been a little idle recently, otherwise she would not have been so heavy just because she saw an old farmer finishing the field.

It's a bit of a feeling of worrying about the country and the people.

All she wants in this life is to live this life in peace and health.

As for the style of a saint who is worried about the world and the country, saving the country and the people, and worrying about the world, it is not her pursuit.

The old man shook his head and sighed when he saw his granddaughter listlessly going to take a nap.

According to his understanding of this child, I am afraid that he will have to toss something again.

However, this time the old man guessed wrong.

Xie Yujiao has been comforted by herself after a nap, she has decisively put aside her previous depression and become lively and cheerful again.

Winter is fading away, spring is coming again, and the villagers have begun to prepare for spring sowing one after another.

The children in the school are also getting smaller day by day, and they all go home to help the farm.

Until one day, the Chuncao brothers and sisters didn't come, and there were only a few three, four or five year-old children left in the school, and they were all busy at home and no one took care of them, so they were sent to the school to let Mr. Xie Yujiao take care of them for free.

Xie Yujiao got out of school and turned around to walk like Liu's house, she wanted to see how busy the farming was this year, and why the whole village seemed to be turning.

When she arrived at Liu's house, Liu's family was an old lady who was paralyzed on the kang.

According to the old lady, because there has not been a drop of rain in the past three months since the snow fell this year, the ground is dry, so it is necessary to carry water to water the ground and then sow the seeds, otherwise the seeds will not germinate, even if they barely germinate, they will not grow without water.

Therefore, the family, including Chuncao, also helped to carry water and water the ground.

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she was a little worried in her heart, and she couldn't help but pray in her heart that God would quickly get out of the heavy rain.

Worried, she went home and told her grandfather about the situation in the village.

The old man also said heartily: "The old man also found out yesterday that the water level in the well has not risen much during this time. If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid this year's spring planting will be delayed! ”

Although the grandfather and grandson did not farm, their own land was leased to the Niu family, if the way of heaven is really bad and the Niu family has no harvest, the Qu family has no rent to collect.

That's a year's worth of food for the grandfather and grandson!

Just when the entire Dongshan Village was carrying water from the river to water the ground, Li Tianlei and Zhao Chengxi came to the village together.

At the dinner table, Li Tianlei said calmly: "The imperial court received news that the Shanxi Jiedu envoy had rebelled. Chengxi and I are going to quell the rebellion, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to come back for some time, so I'll say hello to you before leaving. ”

No wonder, Xie Yujiao was still thinking, are these two new imperial factions busy? is so leisurely, I actually came all the way to see her and the old man.

"Shanxi Festival Envoy? Li Yun? The old man looked up and frowned and asked.

"Yes. Today, Li Yun not only did not comply, but killed the messenger who went to persuade him, clearly disobeyed the new dynasty and launched a rebellion. Now the army has been assembled, and it will send troops to quell the rebellion. I'm afraid you won't be able to find me, so I'd like to let you know! “
