Chapter 394: Snatching Food
The second watch, seeking pink...... On the threshing floor, the corn was already finished. The Lian family and Zhang Qianhu were leading people to do the finishing work, and the officials were busy weighing and recording the last batch of corn kernels.
A little guy came over and whispered a few words to Shen Liu.
Shen Liu nodded, stood up, and followed the little servant to Lian Ji's shop. The officials who followed naturally followed Shen Liu.
In the lobby of Lian Kee Shop, tables and chairs have been arranged. When Shen Liu came in with someone, Lian Man'er went over and led Shen Liu to a table.
Shen Liu stood at the table and glanced at it, and found that the table and chair that Lian Man'er had arranged for him were the same ones he had sat on the previous few times. These tables and chairs don't look any different from the other tables and chairs in the shop, but if you look a little closer, you will find that some tables and chairs in Chapter 394 need to be newer, cleaner and better maintained. The chairs are also padded with brocade backrests and cushions.
It's because he came to sit for the first time, and then he put it away, and he didn't take it out and use it, but only prepared for him to come and give it to him.
This treatment is not uncommon for Shen Liu. But I don't know what's going on, here and now, Shen Liu felt that Lian Man'er's move made him feel very comfortable physically and mentally.
Attention, thoughtfulness is just right, without any flattery and stammering.
Although he thought so, Shen Liu's face was still expressionless, and he only greeted Master Li beside him and sat down on the chair.
Corn porridge, tortillas, corn cakes, corn buns and buns are served in the same way. Lian Man'er briefly introduced the practices and characteristics of each food, and asked Shen Liu and the others to taste it themselves.
"Sixth brother, this is delicious. You taste it. Shen Xiaopang ran to Shen Liu, pointed to the food on the table and recommended it to Shen Liu, by the way, it was obvious that he had already eaten.
Shen Liu didn't pick and choose, and tasted all the food on the table. The officials who followed did the same. Lian Man'er peeked at Shen Liu from the side, wanting to see which one he liked best, but the result disappointed him. Chapter 394: Snatching Food
Shen Liu, every one. He only tasted two bites, no more, no less, and the order went from near to far, and from his expression, you couldn't tell which one he preferred.
After a while, Zhang Qianhu brought Lian Shouxin and others in to report back, saying that the corn had been beaten.
“…… There were 164 bags of fine corn that could be used as corn seeds. The weighing is 16,380 catties, and the medium and inferior corn that is not suitable for corn seeds is 15 bags, weighing 1,456 catties. ”
As soon as Zhang Qianhu's words fell, the room was silent at first, and then it became lively. All the officials had joy on their faces. couldn't help but stand up, some said hello to Shen Liu, and some exchanged heads.
Shen Liu nodded, and his face finally showed a little joy, but in a blink of an eye, it returned to normal. He waved his hand, and the officials in the room immediately fell silent.
"What do you think of Elder Li?" Shen Liu asked Master Li beside him.
"That's the total yield of twenty acres of land?" Master Li looked at Lian Shouxin and asked.
"Hui Yu, my lord," Lian Shouxin hurriedly stepped forward. Respectfully replied. I also met with officials a few times, and after Shen Liu's little servant, I was touched by my ears and eyes, and even I learned the rules of answering questions and answers. "Less than twenty acres, it should be nineteen acres and seven points of land."
At that time, during the spring ploughing, Lian Man'er's family planted a total of 20 acres and 2 cents of corn. In early autumn. Some of the corn grown in the field was singled out and sold as young corn. Now the corn harvested in the autumn harvest is only 19 acres and 7 points.
In order to calculate the yield per mu of corn, this number is the exact number obtained by the recent measurement.
"In this way, the yield per mu of corn is ......"
"It's nine hundred and five pounds." Xiao Qi and Gorou stood behind Lian Shouxin and couldn't help but speak out. After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he looked left and right, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he was a little embarrassed, and he involuntarily rubbed in front of Goro.
"Returning to my lord, the small one has been calculated, and it is about nine hundred and five catties." A small official with an abacus spoke up.
After the abacus calculation, it is naturally true.
"The yield per mu is 900 catties, ......, this is really God bless my Daming, God bless me Daming......" Lord Li's beard trembled, and he actually shed tears.
In this era, the north planted one season of crops a year, and the south had two crops a year, but the yield per mu was not high, in the north, such as Thirty Liyingzi here, the land was fertile, and the varieties of crops were easy to take care of, and the harvest per mu a year was only 300 catties at most. In the south, where rice and wheat are grown, two crops are planted a year, and the yield per mu is only this number at most.
The yield of corn per mu is 900 catties, which is immeasurable for the country and the people.
Shen Liu sat on the chair, looked at the excited officials, leaned back, and finally showed a smile on his face.
The yield of corn per mu is 900 catties, and even Man'er's original estimate is still a little conservative. He liked it, though. It's rare for a little girl to be so safe and leave room everywhere. Not only does it not make people worry, but it also makes people feel ironed everywhere.
Thinking about the folds that were sent earlier, and then thinking about the new folds that will be sent next, the one sitting on the golden chair should be overjoyed when he sees it.
The people of the world can eat more and the granary of the country is more substantial, which is the contribution of his Shen family to the country.
To promote the cultivation of corn, it is natural to start from Liaodong Province. The people of Liaodong were able to eat more than the people of other places, the granaries of Liaodong Mansion were more substantial, and the soldiers under his command were able to eat more. This is his Shen family, he Shen Liu, for his hometown, for the soldiers he led to do good things.
The original origin of the discovery of high corn yield was that Empress Shen gave her mother's family corn that had been passed on. What happened later, as if something was pulling in the dark, made him and the Shen family make such a big contribution.
Now the world is peaceful, but there are many people who do not have enough to eat, not to mention the floods and droughts and other disasters that must occur every year, and countless hungry people have to rely on the state's granary for relief.
This matter, the merit lies in Sheji, and it can even be compared to the exploits of the ancestors of the Shen family who followed Taizu to open the country.
Even if Empress Shen died, with this credit, the Shen family's position in the court was also stable. Of course, in terms of twists and turns, it cannot highlight the merits of the Shen family, but it can highlight the role of Queen Shen. Before I was alive, there were ...... Postmortem.
And, of course, there is the Lianjia.
Shen Liu looked past everyone and stayed on Lian Man'er.
If it weren't for Empress Shen's sudden death, he wouldn't have hidden his traces and came to the Thirty Mile Camp. Then you won't meet Lian Man'er. If you hadn't met Lian Man'er, all kinds of things would not have happened later, and the corn was still just a "sight" in the backyard of the Shen family.
In this matter, the credit of the Lian family is not small, how should it be rewarded?
Shen Liuzheng was a little distracted, and suddenly realized that his sleeves had been pulled by someone. Lowering his head slightly, Shen Liu saw Shen Qian.
"Sixth brother, I'll go out to play." Shen Qian looked up with a little chubby face and discussed with Shen Liu with a smile.
I almost forgot that in this matter, there is also the credit of my ninth brother. As soon as he was born, he was identified as the little fat man of the Shen family's lucky star.
"Go ahead, take the people who follow you, and don't go far." Shen Liu raised his hand, touched Shen Qian's head, and said kindly.
"Oh." Sensitive to finding that his sixth brother's attitude was better than usual, Shen Xiaochubby came to go crazy, and with a sigh, he ran away. He didn't run out directly, but ran to the back of the crowd and grabbed Lian Man'er.
"Man'er, let's go play together, my sixth brother agreed." Shen Qian was so happy that he refused to step on the ground with both feet.
Lian Man'er thought about it and agreed. In the next scene, I want to know that it must be these officials who have lotus flowers in their mouths and sing all kinds of praises and virtues. If there is something serious, even Shouxin and Gorou are there, and it is enough to deal with it.
Before walking out, Lian Man'er subconsciously turned her head and looked at Shen Liu.
It happened that Shen Liu was also looking at her.
The two looked at each other and then separated.
Lian Man'er took Shen Qian out of the shop, went to the backyard, and asked the little girl who followed to move stools and scissors.
"What are we going to play with, Man'er?" Shen Qian took Lian Man'er's hand, shook it, and asked.
"Let's go shear. It's the hairy food you planted with us, and now it's ripe, cut a few plates and bring it back for you to eat. Lian Man'er said, and took Shen Qian to the outside of the courtyard.
"Oh, it's the Maobi we planted together." Shen Qian repeated Lian Man'er's words, adding to the tone of our two words.
Hand in hand, Lian Man'er involuntarily pinched Shen Qian's hand, chubby, although there was no face to pinch, the feel was still very good.
The little fat man's face turned slightly red, and his steps slowed down.
Lian Man'er didn't notice it, and still walked forward.
The little fat man lowered his head, laughed twice, and raised his head again, with a bright face. He quickened his pace and kept up with Lian Man'er.
The two hands that were held together never let go for a moment.
When he arrived next to the hairy bush, Lian Man'er picked the largest plate of hair, and instructed Shen Qian's little servant to get on the stool and cut it down. First cut off a plate of hair, and even the vines wiped off all the dried flowers on the plate of hair, so that Shen Qian could see the hairs inside.
Shen Qian eats Mao, all of which are fried and peeled by the people around him, so looking at Lian Man'er's movements, Shen Qian feels very novel.
"This one is better when it's fried, and now it's eaten like this, it's not so oily, and it's not bad." Lian Man'er told Shen Qian, and instructed Shen Qian's servant to cut a few other plates of hair, so that Shen Qian could bring them back, either to eat or play.
"Sister, little ninth brother." Xiao Qi ran out of the yard at this time.
After all, he is also a child, and after watching the excitement in the house for a while, he got tired of it, and when he saw Lian Man'er and Shen Qian coming out to play, he stole an empty space and ran out.
Running to Lian Man'er's side, Xiao Qi smiled and took out a piece of corn tortilla from his sleeve.
Behind them, two little men led two horses slowly, one of them a blue fat horse, kicked and trampled to the front, the fleshy nose sniffed, grinned, and showed two rows of white teeth.
"Ah...... Send two more, ask for pink. (To be continued)RQ!!
