Chapter 395: Divide the corn

Xiao Qi raised his hand and screamed, and the tortilla that had grabbed his hand was gone.

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw that the tortilla had gone into the big mouth of the fat blue horse. The fat horse chewed the tortilla and swallowed it in one gulp.

This fat horse is really it! Even Man'er stroked his forehead, just looking at its fat and strong appearance, no one was sure to be hungry for it. How can it do this...... Grab something and eat that.

When everyone was a little embarrassed, the fat horse stamped his front hooves, snorted twice, and stretched his head over, as if to see if anyone had more to eat.

"Xiao Qi, are you hurt?" Lian Man'er came back to her senses and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Qi's hand to check. She was worried that the fat horse had gnawed Xiao Qi's hand.

"Sister, I'm fine. This horse is so much fun. After being snatched away by the corn fat horse in chapter 395, Xiao Qi was not angry at all, he was not afraid, but rejoiced, thinking that the fat horse was very cute.

"The ninth master has just fed the horse, and seeing that the ninth master is here, he came over, this, how do you say this......" The little guy who led the horse hurriedly laughed, and was relieved to see that Xiao Qi was not injured.

"Chubby, this is really your horse!" Lian Man'er looked at Shen Qian.

His mount was greedy, and he was discovered by a friend who cared about it. Shen Qian's chubby face showed a tangled expression again. He held a pan of hair in one hand, walked over, patted the blue fat horse, and reprimanded in a low voice.

But the fat horse thought that the little fat man was intimate with it and was playing, so he put his head on the little fat man's hand, and then put his nose on the hair plate in the little fat man's hand and sniffed it.

However, this time it didn't put its mouth down, I don't know if it was because it didn't like the taste of hair, or because it was because of the owner's little fat man.

"Man'er, Xiao Qi, don't be afraid. Qingfeng's temper is good, it doesn't hurt people. Shen Qian pulled the cyan fat horse. Xiang Lian Man'er and Xiao Qidao. Looking at his appearance, he should usually love this horse very much, and even if this horse makes a mistake, he can't bear to blame it too much. And. Shen Qian should also be able to see that without Chapter 395 Corn Theory, Lian Man'er or Xiao Qi was not angry at this cyan fat horse's move to grab food.

"Little Brother Jiu, can I touch it?" Xiao Qiyi's big eyes are shiny and authentic.

The little guys brought over two horses, next to the blue fat horse. There was also a white horse without the slightest miscellaneous hair, which was a head taller than the fat horse, and was more powerful.

The cyan fat horse ran over to grab food and coquettish with Shen Xiaopang, and the white horse only stood idly beside him, not squinting, looking like a widow and a person who was not allowed to enter.

Xiao Qi also likes the white horse, but obviously this blue fat horse is more approachable.

"Touch it." Shen Qian was very generous.

Xiao Qi really walked over. At first, he gently touched the head of the cyan fat horse with one hand, and later saw that the fat horse was really docile. He became bold, touched both hands, and took hold of the fat horse's head.

Lian Man'er looked at Xiao Qi's appearance from the side, and couldn't help but think in her heart. Just like in the era of big machines, all men love cars, and men in this era, including boys like Xiaoqi, instinctively love horses.

Now that the little scalper at home has been raised, Xiao Qi sometimes climbs on the back of the little scalper and lets the little scalper walk slowly on his back. Lian Man'er secretly clenched her fists. You must work hard to make money and get rich, and you can't slack off. After a few years, when Xiao Qi grows up, her family will also buy a few good horses. She is not good at riding a horse herself, so she must buy a beautiful, stylish carriage.

This fat horse really said it to Shen Qian, his temper was very gentle, and he let Xiao Qi touch it. He also put his mouth on Xiao Qi's hand and licked it.

"Sister, you see, it loves tortillas." Xiao Qi's licked palms itched, and he said with a smile.

The fat horse licked the same hand that Xiao Qi was holding the tortilla just now.

While several people were talking around the fat horse, they saw the white horse barking twice at the front, and his front hooves stomped on the ground. The little man hurriedly let go of the reins, and the white horse kicked and ran forward.

Lian Man'er turned around and saw Shen Liu.

Shen Liu walked out of the courtyard at some point, and Zhang Qianhu was the only one behind him.

The white horse ran to Shen Liu and stopped. Shen Liu stretched out his hand, and the white horse bent one of its front legs, snorted, lowered its head and rubbed it on Shen Liu's palm.

Even Man'er was amazed, don't look at this white horse ignoring others, it will also be coquettish to Shen Liu.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Liu led the white horse and walked over slowly and asked.

"Sixth brother, we're shearing." Shen Qian smiled and shook the hair plate in his hand at Shen Liu, and said, "Qingfeng snatched Xiao Qi's corn tortillas and ate them." ”

"It's okay." Xiao Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I still have corn tortillas at home, I want to eat them, and I'll get them later." ”

Xiao Qi is an extremely smart and empathetic child. When he said this, he looked at Shen Liu's always stern appearance, afraid that he would blame Shen Qian or the fat horse who made a mistake.

"Sixth master, this fat horse loves corn tortillas very much." Lian Man'er said with a smile.

Lian Man'er remembered that he had read history before, and in the era of cold weapons, cavalry was almost invincible. But the cost of raising a cavalry is quite enormous, because horses eat several times as much as a man. The feed of the war horse must be very particular, just the forage is not enough, and the beans must be fed. Some war horses are also fed with black beans.

And corn, whether it is corn kernels or cornmeal, can be used as excellent horse feed.

Lian Man'er wanted to remind Shen Liu to notice this.

"Oh." Shen Liu sighed, glanced at the fat green horse who was spreading joy, and then looked at the white horse beside him, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Sixth master, I saw it just now, our horses also like to eat that corn stalk." A small servant saluted Shen Liu and reported.

Lian Man'er nodded secretly, in addition to corn stalks can be used for firewood and other purposes, it can also be used as feed for horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock.

Shen Liu thought about it, then beckoned Zhang Qianhu to come and whispered a few words. Zhang Qianhu said yes, turned around and went back to the yard, and after a while, he came back with two tortillas in his hand.

Shen Liu took the tortilla and patted the white horse's head.

The white horse was very humane, snorted, leaned over, took Shen Liu's hand, and ate the tortilla in a big gulp. It eats very sweet, two corn tortillas, almost eaten in one bite, by no means slower than the fat horse Qingfeng, but the posture is much more elegant than the fat horse.

For example, Lian Man'er didn't see the white horse showing two rows of big teeth.

Sure enough, as the saying goes, what people raise what birds. This white horse and the fat horse are probably still raised in the same stable, but the difference is so obvious, except for the different owners, even Man'er can hardly think of other reasons.

Shen Liu watched the white horse eat the tortillas, and his expression was extremely soft. Bai Ma finished eating all the tortillas, and shaved at Shen Liu, squirting twice in his nose.

Shen Liu nodded lightly and slapped the white horse with his hand. The horse was thrown away from Shen Liu, and a small servant next to him hurriedly came over, took the reins of the white horse, and let it go aside.

"It's time to go back." Shen Liu beckoned to Shen Qian.

Everyone had to follow Shen Liu and go back.

"Sixth Master, what are your plans for those corns? Can you, leave us some? "I haven't had time to talk to Shen Liu alone, now is a good opportunity, Lian Man'er hurriedly took two steps forward and said to Shen Liu.

All the corn on the threshing floor was packed into military ration bags, and if she didn't ask for some for her family at this time, she was afraid that she would not have a chance for a while.

Shen Liu's pace slowed down, but he didn't immediately reply to Lian Man'er's words.

"Those corns that can't be planted, leave them for us, and they can still be used as rations." Lian Man'er said again.

"Rations? Isn't the food your family has beaten this year enough to eat? Shen Liu looked at Lian Man'er, "I saw it on the threshing floor just now, your family, this year's harvest has been harvested." ”

The crops harvested from the field were all placed on the threshing floor to dry, and Shen Liu could be regarded as seeing her family's wealth this year.

Lian Man'er secretly slandered herself, but her mouth did not secretly follow Shen Liu's thoughts.

"Sixth master, why don't we keep less corn for this meal, and give us more corn for planting?"

Shen Liu glanced at Lian Man'er, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, obviously seeing Lian Man'er's little abacus in his eyes.

"How much do you want?" Shen Liu asked.

"I will keep a thousand catties of corn left. The corn eaten ......, how much to keep, listen to the sixth master. Shen Liu asked, and even Man'er was not polite.

Although I want to keep more corn to eat, I can make more tooth sacrifices in the next year. But to really say it, the balance in Lian Man'er's heart is still in favor of the corn that is left for planting.

The corn eaten is finished this year, and there will be no more next year. Although the corn that is left behind cannot be eaten, it can be saved for next year, and more corn can be planted.

1,000 catties of corn can be planted about 500 acres of land. Even Man'er plans to buy land next year to grow corn. Even so, she couldn't use up this thousand catties of corn seeds. She took Zhang Qingshan's family, Wu Yugui, Wang Youheng and other relatives into account. There are also villagers in the same village, and they will have to share some when the time comes.

Shen Liu stopped.

Even Man'er followed.

Xiao Qi was a little nervous, he knew that Lian Man'er was talking to Shen Liu about something very important, and he was also eager to know Shen Liu's answer. Shen Xiaopang was still holding a big hairy plate in his hand, he stood between Shen Liu and Lian Man'er, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his mouth squirmed twice, but he didn't interject.

"The corn that is left for you will be left with a thousand catties. In addition, the corn that is kept for food will leave you three hundred catties ......" Shen Liu said, raising his legs and stepping into the courtyard. "It should be enough to eat."

Lian Man'er only heard the first half of Shen Liu's words, and was immediately overjoyed. !!
