It was only a few days after the Lantern Festival, and it began to rain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a few light rains, the grass turned green and there were buds on the bare branches. The weather is getting warmer, and in the dead of night, you can hear the sound of insects chirping. Apricot blossoms and peach blossoms bloom one after another.

This is the best time to dig wild vegetables.

The most abundant in the wheat field are wheat bottle grass and wild spicy vegetables.

The children of the peasant family hold old shovels and carry small baskets, and they can dig up most of the baskets and come back in a while, and they can be cold dressed, boiled soup, stir-fried vegetables, and boiled noodles, which are very delicious.

Wild spicy vegetables can also be washed and dried, chopped and sprinkled with salt flowers to make pickles, and a little sesame oil is put into it when eating, which is very good for rice.

If you are tired of eating, you can also change the taste, shepherd's cabbage, bitter vegetables have also come out one after another, dig some home mixed with fried broken eggs to wrap dumplings, buns, eating is also fragrant, make people appetite greatly.

On the third day of March, in addition to giving each other orchid grass, eggs will be boiled with camellia flowers, at this time the camellia has bloomed and mossy is too old to chew, if you still want to eat wild vegetables, dandelion, willow leaves, bitter herbs, wild spinach, wild celery, prunella grass, wolf, spiny cabbage, cockscomb, toon can be boiled with boiling water, mixed and eaten.

In fact, the favorite of Haozhou people at this time is to go to Jiushan to dig wild leeks and come back and fry them with eggs. Some people even stir-fry wild leeks and fermented bean curd together, and it tastes particularly fragrant.

The rain gradually increases, and after the heavy rain, there are often many ground fungus on the rocks, which can not only be served cold, but also stewed with tofu, and can also be scrambled eggs, fried meat, steamed buns, and fried leeks. The ground fungus tastes smoother and more refreshing than the fungus, but it is not easy to clean, and it is very easy to have insects when the weather is hot, and it is generally eaten in early spring, and no one eats it in midsummer.

This year seems to have rained more than usual. Before and after the Qingming Festival, it was even more non-stop.

So much so that many experienced farmers began to worry about swelling, "Qingming wet the old owl feathers, wheat in the water." ”

When it rained in the valley, Haozhou ushered in the first rainstorm of the year, and since then, there has to be one at both ends of the three days, and when it comes to the wheat harvest season, every household is frowning.

The wheat of this era was all cut by farmers wielding swords and sickles. After cutting, it should be bundled, and after the bundle is finished, it should be picked up to the side of the road, and then pulled to the wheat field by a cart to dry it and roll it out with a cow pulling a stone stone; If the ground is too wet when the wheat is harvested, it is easy to trample on the ground, and it is difficult to plow and rake when planting autumn crops; In addition, if the ground is too wet, it is easy to get mud on the feet, and it is easier to pull up the wheat roots; But if you don't rush to cut, the ears of wheat that are ripe can easily break off in the ground, and some of them have already sprouted before they even start cutting. The best thing to do is to grab it in the shortest possible time.

However, if the wheat is piled up for too long and cannot be exposed to the sun, it will also become moldy. Autumn crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, sesame seeds, and sorghum should be planted in the fields where wheat has been cut, and if the ground is too wet, there is no way to plow and rake it, and the seeds will sprout unevenly.

Not on the left, not on the right.

The autumn crops have not yet been planted, and the rainy season has come early.

The weather has been gloomy, drizzling non-stop, with heavy rain and torrential rain from time to time.

The rainy season continues intermittently until the end of July.

However, the roof leak happened to be rainy and cloudy.

As early as the previous dynasty, in order to defend the Jin soldiers from going south, Du Chong, the defender of Tokyo, had made the Yellow River artificially burst the embankment, and since then the Yellow River has seized the Huai, and the water system is disordered, "light rain and small disasters, heavy rain disasters, and no rain and drought".

As a result, many places were flooded.

Liu Chengfang led a group of people to the disaster relief all day long.

When the weather clears and the water recedes, many unflooded crops such as sesame, cotton, and corn are flooded, and although the rice will not be drowned, it will rain heavily for a long time during the day, and the rain will wash the spikelets, resulting in the inability to pollinate normally, and the number of empty grains has increased a lot.

And the final result of this matter is a sharp decrease in grain, but fortunately, Liu Chengfang has been a prefect for two years, and he has been conscientious in the past two years.

But the grain in the granary is always limited, and it can't last the next year.

A pound of rice has now risen to several hundred, and it is not possible to buy it.

Needless to say, the Liu family invested all their money in fields and real estate, and in such a bad year, many places had no harvest at all.

The Wang family's business has also plummeted in the past two years, and even eating all kinds of flavors has become crowded.

The leaves are gone, and many people are already eating the bark.

"The grain business is so profitable, or we would have done it well." Liu Yongsheng suggested to Wang Jing.

"I haven't even been out of the door, where have I made food." Wang Jing felt that the risk was too great.

"Other families can do it, we should have no problem, the rice in Suzhou and Hangzhou is much cheaper." "Either I'll go first, and I'll come back with some less sellers." Liu Yongsheng didn't know where to get the news, and he wanted to do this long before the flood.

Wang Jing was also a little moved, "Let Shuangxi go with you, I will pay the principal of 5,000 first, and you can take care of the rest."

Before Liu Yongsheng left, Wang Jing asked Shuangxi to go with him.

"If you do a good job, then I will let my brother cancel your slave registration and give a few more dry shares." She said to Double Happiness.

When the first ship of grain was brought back, the Yuan, Liu, Xu, and Gu families had all bought grain from the Wang family, and Wang Jing simply pulled them in.

Liu Yongan participated in the township test in Jiangbei Province, Henan Province in this year.

"Don't worry, Xie Yuan is definitely mine." After the exam, he said to Zhang.

"It's too early, the wildcat has run away." Zhang shouted.

Liu Yongan was unimpressed.

After the township test, he has to go to Beijing immediately to participate in the examination, and after the trial, he can propose to the Wang family, and after waiting for a long time, seeing that the target is in front of him, no one can calm down, not to mention that he is not a calm person.

If you want to release the list, the blank face that comes back from copying the list is a little bad.

"Uncle won the second ......"

"The second is the second, what are you doing with a bitter face? It's just a ranking. Liu Yongan said on the ground.

Liubai glanced at his master and didn't dare to answer.

Zhang said: "Isn't it in your twenties? As he spoke, he took the transcribed list from the hand of the message.

Liubai wanted to take the list in Zhang's hands, but he didn't dare.

Liu Yongan saw that his mother had a cold face and didn't speak, so he hurriedly came over to take a look.

It's okay not to look at it, but when he sees this list, he is simply not very good.

It's actually 200 people later!

Two hundred is counted behind, or the second hundred and fifty!

Liu Yongan snatched the thing over and looked at it carefully.

The person who reported the good news also arrived at this time, and read in a low voice: "Congratulations to your uncle for winning the 250th place in filial piety." ”

Although his voice was small, everyone heard it clearly.

The subordinates who were waiting for the uncle to send red envelopes to Xie Yuan in the exam were dumbfounded.

Zhang Shiqiang smiled and asked his subordinates to take a red envelope for the person who reported the good news, and was so angry that he ignored his son for three days.

Even Liu Chengfang knew about it, and he had a long face.

Wang Jing naturally knew it, and couldn't laugh anymore, "Who told you to think about something every day?" ”

Seeing Liu Yongan's sullen look, he comforted him again: "The township test is not a meeting test, the one hundred and twenty-one to the one hundred and eighty are the top three, all of which are called 'Citong Jinshi Origin', and the two hundred and fifty are also serious people, not much different from the twenty-fifth, and it is the same after winning the Jinshi." ”

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in front of him, Liu Yongan really wanted to kiss her at that time.

Even when Liu Chengfang and his wife heard this, they had to say, "Jingjing is a broad-hearted person." ”

You must know that Qiao Tanhua has already entered Beijing to report on her work at this time, what if she comes back and recalls the old things and wants to go to the Wang family to propose marriage? (To be continued.) )
