Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Little Mouse Catcher
Cui Zhengyuan himself can pull the relationship nearby, but Xiaoshi's sister is far away, and it is right to ask for warmth, as for other people, he doesn't know him, and he is not interested in knowing.
If there are too many people, he will be face blind, and it is better to know fewer strangers.
"Okay, good, Xiaoshi will definitely be very moved!"
Cui Zhengyuan was so excited that his face even flushed.
Obediently, Xiaoshi is not married, and Lord Chen is not married!
It can't be that he thinks of his good niece, right? Otherwise, why did he say he likes small poems?
Cui Zhengyuan's heart was crooked, although he also heard that Chen Chu had the grand ambition of Princess Shang, but he always had to fight for everything.
Cui Zhengyuan happily went to send the things home, and Chen Chu took a look at the field, it was growing well, and the vines had even grown to thigh height.
And in the treasury of Sinong Temple, a large number of copies are also being re-copied during this time.
Because it's all about data and you can't make mistakes, it's slow.
But even so, judging from the processed transcripts, it is true that a lot of books and space have been saved.
According to the scribe, the usual five or six ledgers are now only half as thick as the new ledger.
And in the process, they keep discovering bad debts.
To say that these Arabic numerals are compared with Chinese numbers, because the symbols are simple enough and the recognition rate is high, so they were caught out of bad debts before they even rechecked them.
This also once again proved the advantages of Arabic numerals, so that the officials of Sinong Monastery were convinced, and they were more familiar with the use of these symbols.
Chen Chu's gaze fell in the direction of the wasteland of the other Sinong Temples, and he had a new crop in his heart.
That's growing peanuts.
Peanuts have two functions, in addition to eating, it is to extract oil, peanut oil can be said to be one of the best quality edible oils, fragrant and nutritious.
Even though Chen Chu had found sesame oil in Datang at this time as an alternative to his usual stir-frying, due to the reasons for the refining and purification process at this time, as well as the taste of sesame oil itself, its taste was actually not suitable for ordinary stir-frying.
Chen Chu has almost forgotten what peanut oil stir-fry is like when cooking.
Now that I think about it, it's a little drooling.
In addition to the oil, the basic consumption of peanuts is also very delicious, whether it is used for fried sauce or boiled or fried, it is first-class as a seasoning, and the more I think about it, the more itchy Chen Chu's heart becomes.
He hadn't made a wish to the Tucao system for a while, and he decided, and this second wish was peanuts.
He called the system in his heart, in fact, the system function did not say that he had the ability to make a wish, but since he asked for fire last time. Flame. Gush. Shoot. This time, it should be okay, right?
And peanuts are more than fire. Flame. Gush. Shoot. That's a long way off.
To be honest, as long as Chen Chu is patient, the peanuts will come out sooner or later, but this is too random, there is no progress bar and countdown, so I can't wait.
After he called, he didn't know if the system heard it, so he could only wait for the next time to trigger the spit reward to see the result.
"Rats!"
At this moment, a small official next to him shouted and called Chen Chu back to his senses.
I saw that in the direction he was pointing, a big gray mouse came out of the potato vine.
, it's the size of a small cat!
Chen Chu's frightened back was cold sweat coming out, Gan Linniang, what did you feed it, it was so fat?
Cats don't dare to scratch when they see it, right? Did you get a bite back?
"Ding, the system detects your complaining behavior, the spit value is +100, you get a bag of raw peanuts, and the location is the bedroom."
The sound of the system sounded, and he gave him the peanut neatly.
"I thank you for the whole family." Chen Chu has no entity in this system, otherwise he has to bow to him, and it has been proved that it is really feasible to make a wish to the system.
Of course, even so, Chen Chu didn't plan to make it often, but he really encountered something urgently needed.
"Go grab it, don't let it plague the seedlings!"
The officials swarmed out, those with nets and shovels, and walked around the ridges cautiously.
But although the rat was fat, it was fast and nimble in and out of the seedlings.
Chen Chu naturally remembered the plots like cats and mice on TV, that is, how a large group of people couldn't catch a mouse, but were made into a miasma.
But it is clear that he underestimated the professionalism of these officials.
After all, Sinong Temple is a place where grain is stored, and it is most normal to make trouble, can they deal with this problem without two brushes?
I saw a rope in the hand of a small official, and it swished.
Under Chen Chu's incredible gaze, the small rope was accurately set on the abdomen of the fleeing mouse, tightened violently, and then hung it up vigorously.
The other servant, wearing a heavy, two-fingered glove, threw it into a net, and the rat's limbs were covered in the net, and he couldn't run no matter how hard he struggled.
"There are some people who have the ability of cats, but they have the appearance of people."
Chen Chu shook his head slightly, still appreciating the professional ability of these people.
"My lord, what are you going to do with this rat?" A group of people asked.
How to deal with it, it's my business, it's hard for you to want to bake it.
Seeing that Chen Chu didn't care, several people went down to play with mice.
The devil knows what to do with it, and people who manage food or have food at home generally hate it.
"Doesn't Sinong Temple have cats?" Chen Chu asked, cats don't steal food, and wild cats catch mice is first-class, where is this thing afraid that mice will steal and bite.
People shook their heads and said no.
Chen Chu also thinks it's normal, after all, the kind of cats that are full of cats in the city in later generations are not normal, and when he asks Lao Li for some, he will definitely be able to get them.
He didn't have the heart to stay longer, and when he returned home, under the table in the bedroom, he saw a sack weighing about twenty pounds, which was bulging.
Looking at the protruding shape, it is obvious that it is the peanut that he is passionate about.
I still glanced at the exchange price as usual, and it was still worth 10 spit a bag, the same as potatoes.
I walked over and opened the bag, and it was full of fine peanuts that were plump and had no blemishes on the skin.
When you break it open, you can see that the fruit inside is dressed in a thin red coat, and the raw peanuts exude an intoxicating fragrance.
Chen Chu ate dozens of them in a row, and then he was satisfied.
He went to the kitchen, kicked everyone out for a while, sat down on a small bench and began to patiently peel peanut shells.
Since each one is in good condition, Chen Chu processed it quickly, and it was a big dustpan after a while.
I found a basin of water, put all the peanuts in it, soaked it for a while, and then fished it out with a colander.
Immediately after that, the fire is lit, and there is a fire in the kitchen all day and night, so you don't have to relight it yourself and get a smoke.
Then it's just to pour the peanuts into it and start stir-frying.
He managed to control the fire by drawing firewood, first for a minute, then for a few minutes, and then for a few more minutes, sprinkling some salt to prevent the peanuts from jumping out.
After he put the cauldron down with great difficulty, the entire huge iron cauldron already emitted a deadly fragrance.
