Chapter 232: Autumn

The bright moon is not a branch to frighten magpies, and the breeze chirps cicadas in the middle of the night.

The fragrance of rice flowers says that there is a good year, and the sound of frogs is heard.

Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three points of rain in front of the mountain.

In the old days, at the edge of the forest of the Maodian Society, the road turned to the river bridge and suddenly saw it

It's harvest season again.

Unconsciously, Shuyun has gone through 28 years in this era. 28 years, what a terrible number for a woman! When I look back, how many of the past can still remain in my memory?

When it comes to time, it's really a pretty fucked up thing. Let's say that she is a good medicine, but it ruthlessly takes away every life in this world, say it is poison, and it can heal all the wounds in this world. However, the fairest thing in this world really belongs to time, and there is no proximity here, nor is there any high or low. As long as you live in this world, you must abide by its rules. No matter how great a person is, he can't resist the erosion of time.

However, in the process of time passing, there is always something left behind. Even some things can't erase these imprints that have been made. is like the farm tools and excellent rice seeds in front of him that made Kangxi smile from ear to ear.

"Shuyun, see, this plow is so easy to use, I can easily plow an acre of land with only one meal. Moreover, the ploughshare eats deep soil, breaks the soil lightly, the furrow is uniform, the width and height are all controllable, and it does not cost livestock, which is really a good baby. Kangxi had just tried the newly produced plow, and his face was still sweaty, so he hurriedly ran over and said to Shuyun excitedly.

In fact, this plough is a copy of the liberation plow, which is characterized by reasonable design. The operation is light and the efficiency is high. It is not easy to be damaged and has a wide adaptability. It is especially suitable for plowing grass seed fields, and after countless improvements, it was not until 65 years that it was finally finalized and began to be promoted, of course, it is easy to use.

Shuyun smiled and took out a handkerchief to help Kangxi wipe the sweat off his forehead. He poured another cup of tea and handed it to him, "Your Majesty, rest for a while, and then try other tools, it should be very useful." ”

Thinking about it, he was really thirsty, and Kangxi drank a whole cup of tea in one go, regardless of his image. Then he handed the cup to Shuyun again, and it wasn't until he drank two more cups in a row that he wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Well, I'm going to try it." When Zhou Quan and Ma Yong came to report the time, I still felt that their words were a little exaggerated, but now it seems that what they said is a bit conservative. ”

There are also three improved agricultural tools this time - the cocoon (a kind of animal-powered seed seeder. It has been used in China for more than 2,000 years. This is 55 improved type, with the use of liberation plow, can sow barley, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, etc., a cow pulls five ploughshares. One person operates, the cloth is planted in a cocoon, and two to three hectares of land can be sown in a day. )

Push the grain vertebrae (break the chaff, damage the rice.) It can break 200 kg of grain per day. It is an excellent agricultural tool that has been used since the founding of the People's Republic of China since the Ming and Qing dynasties. )

Hand-cranked windmill (turn by hand.) Wind can be generated to blow away empty shells and other debris that are lighter than grains of grain. Processing of cereals, rice, beans, wheat, tea seeds, etc.)

Kangxi tried them one by one, and after determining the performance. He also summoned ministers and artisan leaders, and led a large group of people to study the promotion and production matters on the spot.

See here. Sookyun dodged. Slowly strolled towards the field. The farmers there are stepping up the harvest, and one by one they seem to be tireless. With a smile on his face, he quickly waved the sickle in his hand.

A large group of princes and princesses led by the crown prince and the eldest brother also followed the example of the children of the Zhuang family, each carrying a small basket in his hand, and followed behind to pick up ears of rice. This is the task assigned by Kangxi, and even the two smallest buns, Yuanyuan and Bubble, are no exception, and they also follow behind the dragon egg, looking for the rice grains that fell on the ground.

Working in the fields under the scorching autumn sun is not an easy task for pampered buns. Although Shuyun also feels very sorry for the children, she will not let them do it because she is distressed. Because no matter how much they say, they will never be able to experience it for themselves.

Although they were born in the royal family and are used to the days of clothes to stretch their hands and food to open their mouths, Shuyun, like Lao Kang, does not want the children to become some "young masters and young ladies" who do not know the hardships of the people. And these jobs are relatively familiar to the buns, in the past, every year when it was the season of sowing and harvesting, there was no need for Lao Kang to speak, Shuyun would take the buns to work in the fields. In this regard, the buns are also used to it. One by one, they were very energetic.

That is, Yuanyuan and Bubbles, the two little things that went into battle for the first time, were a little in a hurry, and they couldn't do their work, and they also took out to follow the dragon eggs and Tuan Tuan to trick or treat.

From a distance, I watched the dragon egg caress my forehead against the bubbles, and I looked like I had a toothache. Shuyun laughed in her heart. This little monster has finally met his nemesis.

However, whose children are distressed. Shuyun took out her pocket watch and looked at the time, it was almost noon. He turned his head to Ruxue beside him and ordered: "Ruxue, go find someone to bring some chilled sour plum soup." Let the children and everyone drink to relieve the heat, and go to see if the food in the kitchen is ready? ”

"Niangniang, you've been tired for a long time, so let's sit down and rest for a while, and the slave will come when you go." After Ruxue squatted down and saluted, she turned around and left.

After drinking the sour plum soup, it's time to eat.

Shuyun deliberately asked the kitchen to cook the farmer's meals. Eggplant stewed with potatoes, boiled green corn, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, big stick bones with sauce, stewed pork ribs with kidney beans and potatoes, boiled peanuts and edamame

It's all fresh vegetables freshly picked in the field, the seeds come from the space, and the land is soaked in space water, so the taste is quite good. The children all ate sweetly, and their bellies were round. Even the courtiers were full of praise.

Apples, hawthorns, pears, autumn watermelons, grapes, dates, pomegranates, autumn peaches, persimmons, walnuts, millet, etc., are all ripe. There is a strong fruity fragrance floating all over the mountain, and the fruits are huge and full, and the color is bright and attractive, hanging heavily on the branches, and I can't wait to bend the branches.

After lunch and a short rest, Shuyun took a group of children to the orchard.

Don't look at these pride of the sky who lack anything, but except for the buns and the prince who have picked them by themselves, no one else has even seen the scene of politics. And what you eat after picking it yourself is completely different from the feeling that the minions have washed and served, not to mention that it is still set off by such a pleasing harvest scene.

So for the afternoon activities, the children have been looking forward to it for a long time. Shuyun gave an order, and a large group of children ran towards the orchard happily. Even the always reserved and arrogant Rong Xian is no exception.

In the orchard, there are many kinds of fruits, and some of them have several varieties. Take pears as an example, there are more than 10 varieties of Nanguo pear, crown pear, perfume pear, flower cover pear, plucked pear, etc. The children were so happy that they all became like peasant children, picking and eating at the same time.

In this way, I lived in Zhuangzi for three whole days, and the children were happy and tired enough.

Shuyun didn't want to go back to the palace with Kangxi, but Lao Kang didn't agree to Shuyun staying. also said that the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a day for family reunions, how could I not spend it with him. And the buns were also bought by him in advance, and they were gossiping on the side. Shuyunnai couldn't do it, so she could only follow their wishes and enter the palace with the team.

Soon it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. This is one of the traditional festivals in our country. The festival period of the ancient emperor's sacrifice to the moon is the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the time coincides with the half of the three autumns, so it is called the "Mid-Autumn Festival"

Mid-Autumn Festival food is the first to recommend moon cakes. There are some interesting legends about the origin of mooncakes. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bowen, the strategist of the leader of the uprising, Zhu Yuanzhang, took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival when the people gave round cakes to each other, and carried a note of "killing Tartars on the night of August 15" in the cakes.

There are several other theories that are basically the same as this one, saying that moon cakes were used as a medium to send messages to each other to rebel against the tyrannical rule of the Yuan Dynasty. It can be seen from this that moon cakes should have originated in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.

In the past, every Mid-Autumn Festival, Shuyun made mooncakes for the buns to eat. Because there are many types of mooncakes made by Shuyun, the patterns are fresh, and the raw materials are all produced in the space, which is very delicious. So the buns are also willing to eat Shuyun's cooking. Now Shuyun, who returned to the palace, has work to do again. Not only do you have to make a portion of what the children eat, but you also have to make more for the Queen Mother and Kangxi, and it has become a routine for other princes and princesses to come to Shuyun to eat, can you not bring their portions? A few more concubines who visit the door or give each other away. According to the custom of previous years, I also sent some to Mr. Xu, Sister-in-law Osmanthus and others. If you do the math, how can you be missing?

Fortunately, Shuyun didn't have to do it alone, Ruxue commanded a large group of minions to help on the side.

Due to the large number of this year, there are many more types of products made by Shuyun than in previous years. And there are sweet and salty, traditional and new styles.

The main product is Shuyun's snowy moon cakes, which are also the favorite food of buns. The rinds of various colors, such as white, purple, green, red, and yellow, are all prepared with fruit and vegetable juices. The flavors of the fillings inside also vary. Shuyun also deliberately made some small rabbits, small squirrels and other small animal shapes, which are both delicious and interesting. Very popular with kids. As soon as Shuyun made it, she was coaxed out by the buns who smelled it.

This hasn't waited for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shuyun can't, so she can only step up and make some more.
