Chapter 278

After dinner, the two of them came to the kitchen to think about disposing of the fat fish. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The room was warm and warm on the red stove, Yisheng moved a stool over, and Miao Zhi took a knife.

The two work together, one picks the scales of the fish, and the other neatly disembowels. Then rinse the fish with clean water, evenly spread salt, and dry it on a basket.

Taking advantage of the good weather these days, you have to dry all the fish. Dried fish is a good way to preserve and not lose its umami.

The cold wind was raging outside, and the girl's candle-lit red cheeks in the kitchen were as gorgeous as camellias, black eyelashes were flying, and her starry eyes were shining. Because of the cold weather, she deliberately put on a new winter coat made a few days ago, a pink embroidered pomegranate flower skirt, lining her skin more moist as jade, delicate and fair.

Yisheng on the side couldn't help but look stupid, and when he came back to his senses, his cheeks had already become red like fire, so he hurriedly lowered his head and concentrated on the work in hand.

"Miao Zhi, it's been so long, do you really only remember your name, and there is no one else?" The man's long finger was like jade, and he handed over the fish that had scraped off the scales in his hand, and his voice was gentle, wrapped in the fragrance of herbs.

Miao Zhi just grabbed a handful of salt and paused, raised her eyes to look at him, shook her head and chuckled, "My mind is very messy, sometimes I think of some pictures, but I can't remember them after a while!" How? Yisheng, you want to drive me away! ”

When Yisheng heard this, he didn't care about wiping the stains on his hands, and hurriedly raised his hands, "Miaozhi, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, really!" The man's tone was eager, his face changed a little, and he relaxed a lot when he saw the woman looking at him with a smile like a crescent moon.

"It's more than a month before the New Year's Festival, and it's been half a year since you arrived in Yao Village. In the past six months, how anxious your father and mother should be if they can't find you! And the Chinese New Year should be a day for the whole family to reunite, you have been missing for so long, they are afraid that they will have to worry about death! So... That's why I want to ask you, if you think of anything, I don't mean to drive you away. ”

His tone was muffled, his head hanging lower, almost touching his chest.

Miao Zhi was gloomy, and Yisheng's words made the corners of her lips slowly droop. She knew that they would be worried, those who cared about her, Yuan Hongxuan, Ning Er, Xiang Yan, eldest brother, and her mother, she knew that they must be in a hurry and desperate at the moment, but she just wanted to be an ostrich who hid her head.

She really just wanted to live this simple and happy life, she didn't want to be like before, although she was always living in intrigue and fear.

She let out a long breath, forced down the guilt in her heart, and smiled again, "Maybe they are better off than me!" Okay, let's not talk about that. Look, we're pretty fast, and we're all done! ”

In mid-November, it was inevitable that the Eastern Dollar and the moonset would go to war again. The moonset people are fierce and good at fighting, and often gallop on the grassland, full of wildness, and several soldiers in the Central Plains can compete with each other, and the situation is very passive.

If they only hide in the city and do not send troops, the barbarians will shoot rockets into the city. Now in the entire crown city, except for the troops stationed here, there is not even a single common man to be found.

When it was night, standing on the tower of the city and looking in, the whole city was a black hole, silent and terrifying.

In late November, when it was time for local officials to collect grain taxes, all households in Yao Village not only delivered them on time, but also handed over precious rice, which made this peaceful small mountain village famous at once, and the village chiefs of several other nearby villages came to the village chief Yao Heng's house to learn from it.

The people in the village are simple, and they don't hide any good things. Yao Heng also knew little about terraced rice, and several village chiefs from neighboring villages who had spent a long time talking to the door were still confused, and in the end he could only ask someone to go to Yisheng's house to find Miao Zhi to come over and tell them about it carefully.

Miao Zhi had planned to go up the mountain with Yisheng for the last time to pick some herbs, but before she went out on the front foot, someone on the back foot came to tell her to go to the village chief.

The conversation was very pleasant, and Miao Zhi answered all the people's confusion one by one, and the village chiefs of several villages were a little eager to try, if it wasn't for the winter, they really wanted to follow Miao Zhi quickly! When they came, they saw that Village Chief Yao's family had really eaten fragrant rice, and they didn't think it was fake.

Miao Zhi did not immediately promise them that they would be able to do it, but asked everyone to go home and wait first, and in a few days she would go to each village one by one to inspect the terrain, and if the terrain was suitable, this would allow people to start digging terraces and prepare for the next year's planting.

After twenty-six, the day passed very quickly, Miao Zhi went to the neighboring villages as scheduled to see, the terrain and landform are comparable to Yao Village, you can dig terraces, only two villages of mountain springs are far away from the fields in the village, but it takes more effort to dig ditches to divert water.

The custom of fried meatballs and sausages for the New Year is really passed down from ancient times to the present. In the last two New Year's festivals, she couldn't experience the excitement of the New Year in ordinary people's homes, but this time she felt it firsthand.

No, three or four women were sitting in the small kitchen of Huzi's house, busy with all their hearts. This year, everyone planted rice, and after handing it over, there was still a lot left, except for a small part to stay at home to eat, and the rest were undoubtedly sold at a good price.

With the silver in your hand, then you can really buy a large piece of pork, unlike in previous years, you only dared to cut one less, and you have to put a lot of potato starch to make a ball.

However, the village chief was thoughtful, and he asked the people who went out to buy a whole pig to come back. More than 20 families in the village divided the whole pig according to their own needs.

Miao Zhi looked at everyone's faces with simple and clear smiles, and her heart was as sweet as eating honey. The aroma of meat is overflowing, and the orange flames in the stove are beating, reflecting on the human face like a layer of golden sand. The inside of the house is not as cold as outside, the charcoal fire is bright and dark, the heat is fumigated, and everyone's palms are warm.

It's another morning, and the winter sky is not as clear as summer, and the gray sky doesn't even have a trace of warmth. The bells on the city wall rang as usual, and the ministers in court clothes entered the main hall one after another.

"Your Majesty, this is an excerpt from the county order under the jurisdiction of the minister, saying that the grain handed over by a remote village in their county this year is actually all rice, and it is full of catties and full grains!"

As soon as this news came out, the court was a little shocked, the reason why rice is as expensive as white flour is because the rice planting conditions are very harsh.

Yuan Hongxuan glanced at ten lines, and finished the performance in a few clicks, and he was also very happy about this matter. If TECO can develop rice cultivation on a large scale, then they will not have to buy it from Yinanhua at a high price, and they will also save a lot of money! (To be continued.) )
