After that, every once in a while, Rong Yunhe would receive letters from her from Pingzhou City at home, according to her letters, they were all sent by the guys in the shop at home, and every time they came with the letters, there were also all kinds of small gifts, such as some Western spices and condiments for cooking that are unique to the state city, or all kinds of fashionable silk flowers and rouge gouache.
In fact, in her previous life, as Xue Wuniang, she knew that the agriculture of this dynasty was not very developed, and some agricultural technologies were not widely formed, disseminated and valued.
Unexpectedly, this time she could receive the agricultural book brought by "Miss Gu", which naturally aroused her strong interest.
This book is divided into farming, species, equipment and fertilizer, and at the end of the book, there are also details on how to store grains and vegetables, such as the brewing technology of miso.
Rong Yunhe is more interested in the accumulation of manure, which records "treading manure method, cellar manure method, steaming manure method, stuffing manure method, simmering manure method, boiling manure method" and so on.
There are several similar directions to the current Pingqiao Village fertilizer accumulation, but the cellar manure method is more advanced than the current Pingqiao Village general fertilizer accumulation method.
When her mind matures, she can put it into action.
She remembered in a trance that the textbooks of her previous life had mentioned a kind of high-efficiency mixed fertilizer called dung pill, which seemed to be made of human manure, animal manure, poultry manure, plus hemp residue, soybean cake, mixed with animal carcasses and internal organs, hair and blood, and added sulfur.
It is said that there is the fertility of "every bucket can be used as ten stones of dung", Rong Yunhe remembers when he saw this text at that time. Shocking, the wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated, but the raw materials are too complicated, and she has not remembered them all. I hope that this "Miss Gu" can bring the agricultural book again and find its traces.
The first thing he does when he gets up every day is to go to the cellar to see her sour bamboo shoot jar, as if he is scratching a cat in his heart, wanting to see what is going on inside, but he doesn't dare to open the mud seal.
Finally, the 10th day came. On this day, the big girl carefully removed the mud seal and cleaned the floating soil on the side. Turning to see Rong Yun and his little face tense, he looked nervous, and laughed with a "flutter".
Yun Ying reached out and opened the lid.
Suddenly, a faint scent of sour bamboo shoots overflowed, and Rong Yunhe took a deep breath. It didn't seem to be bad as she remembered.
Mother Lu and Luo Cailei on the side were stunned. Just smelling the smell, it's quite tempting.
Several people worked together to move the jar to the middle of the courtyard.
Mother Lu put the jar and smiled at Cai Bairui who was standing in the courtyard, "You come and smell it, it smells weird." ”
Saying that, Yunying went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks, and Rong Yunhe was busy shouting behind, "I want the one that doesn't bring oil." ”
Cai Bairui and Tan Yingyuan originally didn't think so. Hearing what Lu's mother said, she went to the jar to smell it. A sour smell of bamboo shoots wafted out, which was better than the sour taste of the Chinese cabbage pickled in the winter of the Rong family.
He also smiled and said, "Our young lady always has some new ideas." ”
Yunying took the chopsticks and bowls, and Mother Lu took it and fished out a few bamboo shoots from the jar, and the white and tender bamboo shoots were sealed and soaked for ten days, and the color changed to blue and white, which was softer than the fresh bamboo shoots that had just been picked up.
Luo Cailei got closer and sniffed it, and then tore off a small piece of fine product, and after a while, she smiled and said, "It tastes weird." Sour, crunchy, not astringent at all. ”
Rong Yunhe smelled the fragrance of sour bamboo shoots, and half of his heart was set, and looking at the color, he was even more set, and he hurriedly took the dishes and chopsticks handed by the girl and tasted two bites.
Mother Lu took out one or two pieces from it, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Yun Ying, "Take it and cut it, mix some sesame oil and eat it in the morning." ”
Yun Ying took it, also reached out and pinched a small piece, put it in her mouth and tasted it, half loud, nodded and smiled, "The taste is just weird." Or Miss Smart! ”
At breakfast, the girl cut two whole bamboo shoots, added some salt, mixed with a little sesame oil, and just put them on the table for a while, the plate was bottomed out.
Lu's mother smiled, and quickly asked her to cut two more, while saying to Luo Cailei, "Look at how capable our young lady is, the pickled bamboo shoots are crispy and fragrant, so people can't stop eating them." ”
Rong Yunhe bit the crispy and sour bamboo shoots, looked at the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces, and grinned.
Since everyone praised the deliciousness of these bamboo shoots, most people must be able to accept it.
Today is the day when Cai Bairui and Tan Yingyuan are going to the county seat to purchase daily necessities, so it is better to let them take this bamboo shoot with them by the way, see if they can find a buyer, at least, and see how the market of this bamboo shoot is.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
There was a lot of rain this spring.
Cai Chao walked on the road angrily, he carried a bookcase, his inner bag was heavy, and he was really not walking fast.
He wore a pair of cloth shoes, and by this time his feet were already muddy, and he walked up and down.
I knew that I had changed to leather boots!
What a ghost! There has been a lot of rain this year, there are already signs of flooding in the south, and several official roads have been washed out, and Cai Chaosheng has taken a lot of detours along the way.
The rain was a little lighter, Cai Chaosheng breathed a sigh of relief, stood under a big tree to rest, and prepared to leave later.
There was a loud "boom", and a blue-purple lightning bolt tore the heavens and the earth open.
Cai Chaosheng was checking the bookcase, and was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground, and before he could stand firmly, another thunder struck nearby, and the ground was shaking.
A carriage is galloping on the official road, this carriage looks very strong, blue cloth car surrounding, longer than the ordinary carriage, two good horses, legs and feet are powerful, although the thunder is bursting, but the horse steps are not chaotic at all, it is simply magical.
The driver was wearing a straw hat, although he was sitting under the baffle, but he was already soaked in the rain, seeing Cai Chaosheng so embarrassed, the carriage slowed down, and a pair of hands opened the curtain from the window, but lowered the curtain again.
"Hey! Carriage! Coachman! ”
Cai Chaosheng couldn't help shouting, this carriage looks simple, although there is no sign of a post station, but maybe it is a private carriage of a family, maybe it can give him a ride.
The carriage did not slow down any further.
Another thunderclap. The earth trembled, and even the two horses were startled and stopped uneasily. Shaking his head incessantly, the coachman immediately let go of the reins of his horse, took out a piccolo and blew it, and stretched out his hand to rub it slowly on the horse.
The thunder erupted again, smashing a large tree nearby.
The carriage door opened, and a young girl leaned out and shouted, "That nerd! Hurry up! Wasn't that the carriage you shouted just now? ”
"Huh?" Cai Chaosheng was a little stunned.
The girlish scream. "Nerd! Why don't you come over and stay under the tree, you're afraid of not being hacked, aren't you? ”
Cai Chaosheng reacted at this time. He stumbled over, and just wanted to jump up, but the girl pushed him away, frowning, and said, "Hey." You. Wet all over, dare to get in the car? You have clothes and shoes in your bookcase, right? Replace it with a dry one! Hurry up! ”
Cai Chaosheng looked up, this girl had bright eyes and bright teeth, thin eyebrows and cherry mouth, although she was young, she could see that she was a beautiful embryo.
His eyes are as bright as the morning star, and his look is radiant, holding a simple bun. Wearing a pair of ruby short gold hairpins, wearing a blue lake silk dress. Although she is dressed up as a lady in the boudoir, she looks vibrant.
At the opening of the car door, there was a fragrance, and Cai Chaosheng's heart fluttered, could it be that this is a beautiful carriage?
The girl glared at him, "You really don't know how to do it! Such a heavy rain! We stopped the carriage and waited for you, what are you waiting for? ”
It was thunder again, Cai Chaosheng suddenly remembered the current embarrassment, hurriedly opened the bookcase, and a young man in Tsing Yi came out of the carriage, held an umbrella, and changed his clothes from the rain.
After changing his clothes, Cai Chaosheng jumped on the edge of the car, pulled off his shoes and socks twice, said "offended", and went into the car.
As soon as he entered, Cai Chaosheng was dumbfounded.
There was a large piece of oilcloth in front of her, and the girl said with a smile: "Scholar, you are still wet, don't complain, please just take a look." ”
What else can I say, Cai Chaosheng put the bookcase away, closed the car door, sat on the tarpaulin, and then raised his head.
When I looked up, I was stunned.
The girl was sitting next to him, watching him quietly.
This carriage is very large, but the layout is simple, divided into two places, there is a fixed small table outside, on the table is a small basin of pig iron, inside is a teapot, against the wall is a cabinet, close the door of the cabinet do not know what is inside.
Dividing the space is a half wooden door, behind which you can only see the same felt and cabinet, and nothing else can be seen, only a faint fragrance.
What about the beauty? Behind that wooden door?
Cai Chaosheng tightened his throat and said: "Miss, thanks to your help, Xiaosheng is very grateful, the surname is Cai Chaosheng, the family lives in the capital, this time I am going to Hangzhou, but I suddenly encountered heavy rain, I don't know where Miss is going?" ”
The girl chuckled and looked behind the wooden door.
But I heard a clear male voice sounding calmly, "We are also going to Hangzhou, and we are both passers-by at the end of the world, Your Excellency doesn't have to thank you, but let's go to the front post station together." ”
Cai Chaosheng was immediately extremely disappointed, it turned out that it was not a lady and a maid in this car!
It's the young master and the young lady!
The little guy on the side smiled and said: "My master's surname is Gu, and the son shouts 'Miss Gu'." ”
"Thank you Miss Gu, thank you Young Master Gu, and thank you to this little brother."
Cai Chaosheng sincerely thanked.
He sat down on the tarpaulin, and secretly felt that this young lady, who did not look very much like a lady in the boudoir, thought thoughtfully, and took out a towel to wipe the rain from his face.
After wiping it, Changtian had already handed over a bowl of hot tea, "Childe, the rain is wet and cold, please drink a cup of ginger tea and eat a piece of osmanthus cake!" ”
Cai Chaosheng thanked him and took a sip of ginger tea, this ginger tea was slightly hot, and as soon as he entered his mouth, he suddenly felt a stream of heat from top to bottom, and his whole body immediately warmed up.
This spring has been raining a lot, and the weather has been cold, this cup of hot ginger tea is immediately refreshed.
Changtian saw that he was comfortable drinking, smiled lightly, opened the front window, and also gave the driver a cup, but when he turned around, he saw Cai Chaosheng looking at the osmanthus cake in his hand with a surprised face.
couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's wrong with Childe?" Why not eat it? Dare to ask if it's not done well? ”
"No, no, I also have a store at home, but I have never eaten such a delicious osmanthus crisp, the aftertaste is full of flavor, it is really delicious!"
"There, it's made at home, and the materials are more elaborate than outside." Miss Gu covered her mouth and smiled, Cai Chaosheng realized that her smile was very moving, and his heart jumped, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.
Changtian took out a small copper basin from under the table, and Cai Chaosheng looked at it, and it turned out to be a small brazier.
Miss Gu leisurely used a small silver tongs to pass the fire, and Cai Chaosheng realized that it was so warm in this carriage, but there was this small brazier warming.
The sound of rain outside the car continued, but the thunder was much quieter, Cai Chaosheng had calmed down at this time, and the osmanthus cake had already been eaten.
"What is Childe doing in Hangzhou?" Changtian good brazier, asked with a smile.
"Go collect the bills, find my uncle's house to live by the way, and prepare for next year's exam." Cai Chaosheng said honestly.
"Oh, are you preparing for next year's imperial exam?" Miss Gu smiled when she heard this, and looked into the car.
"Yes, it's a pity that my literary theory is not high, and I am not familiar with the "Anthology", so I couldn't get the village confession." Cai Chaosheng said with some shame.
When Changtian heard this, he smiled, "Childe's words are wrong, this "Anthology" compiled by Taizu is certainly the culmination of learning.
"It's like my chef cooking, stewed a pot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and in the end, it is all one, and when you drink it in your mouth, it is of course a drop of essence.
"But it's hard to tell which is sea cucumber and which is venison.
"This "Anthology" is complicated and profound, but what the imperial court wants to test is the ability of the scholars, and this ability is the ability to do things, not the ability to read the "Anthology".
"He is an official in the future, is it difficult to hold the "Anthology" to cure the famine?"
Cai Chaosheng's mouth opened wide when he heard this, he never expected that the inconspicuous-looking little guy in front of him would be able to say such a reasonable thing.
Before he could speak, he heard the voice of the man inside.
"Changtian, you're talking nonsense again, how can you mix the big matter of the imperial court's selection of talents with our cooks' cooking?
"It's really nonsense, this son, please don't entangle with him, this little guy in my family has always been naughty, he will say that you can't cry or laugh, please come in and sit."
Cai Chaosheng watched Changtian squeeze his eyes and snicker at the wooden door, and Miss Gu on the side also smiled silently, and then Changtian opened the wooden door and said to him, "My young master, please go in." ”
Cai Chaosheng just wanted to get up, but he saw Changtian take out another smaller piece of oilcloth, go over and lay it himself, and then invite him over.
As soon as he entered the inside, Cai Chaosheng was another flute, this place was ten times cleaner than the outside, with a good soft mat, on a soft mattress, a young man was reclining on a pillow, his hair was not tied up, wearing a lake blue Hangzhou silk straight jacket, his face was handsome, his eyes were sharp, he was really a rare beautiful man.
There was a teapot and a food box on the small table next to him, as well as a few books, and Chang Tian neatly added another teacup, and poured another cup of ginger tea. (To be continued.) )
