Chapter 16: The Coming of Auspiciousness
Lan'er's face was pale, trembling all over, and her eyes contained tears.
Zhao Ping's right hand suddenly raised and quickly waved it towards Lan'er's face.
Xia Xiaoniang, who had just come in, suddenly screamed, and Lan'er's tears finally flowed out, but Zhao Ping gently wiped her tears, and her voice became soft: "Forget it this time, and if you can't next time, you won't be spared." ”
Lan'er nodded, looked up and said with horror in her eyes: "Xiao Langjun, the slave is wrong, don't scare the slave and the slave, the slave is so scared." ”
Cuizhu asked: "Xiao Langjun, what did you do just now, not only did the sky dawn and you didn't wake up, but your face suddenly turned red and white. But then there was no change, and suddenly he said he wanted to drink water. ”
Zhao Ping didn't expect that he had opened up a space for his practice this time, and said lightly: "I was practicing just now." ”
These were vegetables that had been purchased in the previous life, and now they had appeared through the small space that had just been refined.
"Let's take a look for my mother, what kind of fairy baby is it, so that you are willing to beat Lan'er, who has never been beaten and scolded." A gentle and loving voice came, and Zhao Ping looked back, it turned out to be his mother who came in, followed by Zhao Yiniang.
The mother looked at the things on the table, frowned and asked, "What is this, my mother has never seen it, and it is so big." Because the mother doesn't understand, she still takes it out and lets the housekeeper see it. He is well-informed, and he has never seen anything in the world. ”
Saying that, I went to carry two white pockets on it, and I felt a little heavy, and I made a "chirping" sound when I checked it with my hand, and I couldn't help but say, "What kind of fairy thing is this?" Not only is it very strong, but it is also thinner than cloth bags and sacks. ”
Out of the backyard and into the living room, Zhao Jie opened his two pockets and looked at them carefully, then shook his head and said, "The old slave doesn't know all these things. Since it appeared by Lang Jun's side, Lang Jun should know these things. ”
After speaking, Zhao Jie turned his gaze to Zhao Ping, and his mother, Cuizhu, Lan'er, and Zhao Yiniang also turned their puzzled eyes to Zhao Ping, although Xia Xiaoniang did not make a sound, her eyes were also curious to look at him.
At this time, Zhao Tian also came in curiously.
She was also stunned, only to see a white bag on the table, translucent, like silk but not silk, like silk but not silk.
Zhao Ping immediately got out of bed and pointed to these things and introduced: "This purple is a fairy root, it is very fragrant and sweet after cooking, and it is very sweet after baking." This yellow color is the fairy bean, which is particularly fragrant if it is made into braised pork. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ping pointed to the dark red finger-shaped object again, and said: "This taste is very spicy, it can spicy your tears, and its name is fairy pepper." ”
Zhao Ping pointed to the twist-shaped thing in the other pocket and said: "This is a fairy peanut, it can be fried like a bean, but it is far more crispy and delicious than a bean, and it can also be squeezed for oil." ”
Zhao Ping pointed to the last spindle-like thing and said: "This is a fairy melon, very sweet, it can be eaten raw or cooked." It can also be eaten raw, but it obviously doesn't taste as good as cooked food. ”
Zhao Ping pointed to this thing that was as thin as a fingernail and said: "This is a fairy pumpkin melon seed, which has a sweet taste, and can be used as a dish or as a meal." ”
Zhao Ping pointed to the last thing like a baby's finger and said: "This is fairy rice, which can be made into popcorn, and it is tender and sweet to eat." ”
Lan'er was lively, hearing that all of these could be eaten, saliva also flowed out, and looked at Zhao Ping's eyes full of begging: "Xiao Langjun, let's cook it now, the slave is not only hungry, but also saliva flows." ”
Seeing that everyone was also expecting, Zhao Ping couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "These are all seeds, and I only brought these, and eating them satisfies everyone's mouth, but it will never be there in the future." ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to the fairy beans and fairy roots and said: "They are not only vegetables, but also grains, you know, these two things, if planted well, their output can reach about forty quintals." Crucially, all of this can be grown on dry land! ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, these yields were not only frighteningly high, but also did not have to compete with people for water like rice.
When Zhao Jie heard this, he immediately stepped forward to hug the fairy beans and fairy roots, and knelt on the ground with his head and cried: "Daddy, mother, brother, little brother, sister, sister, why don't you wait until now?" Ah, the gods have brought food, and you will not starve to death. ”
Cuizhu Lan'er, Zhao Tian's family, and even her mother were also whimpering and crying on the side.
After waiting for a pillar of incense, everyone finally stopped sobbing, Zhao Ping glanced at everyone, looked at Zhao Tian and said, "It's not impossible to taste the taste of fairy peppers." Uncle and mother-in-law can shake out the fairy pepper seeds as seeds, and the fairy pepper skin can still be copied from the vegetables. ”
After seeing Zhao Wutian go out to find a bowl and shake out the fairy pepper seeds, Zhao Ping solemnly bent down to Zhao Jie and made a big salute, and then said word by word: "Uncle Weng Weng, can the people of the Great Song Dynasty no longer starve, can they enjoy the food, and please ask Shu Weng Weng to plant in the future." ”
After Zhao Jie took the matter, he also made a deep salute, wiped away his tears with his hands and said, "The old slave has been waiting for this day for a long time. In order for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to no longer endure hunger, even if they give up their lives, they must also let it be planted. ”
Lan'er also cautiously came over and said to Zhao Ping: "Xiao Langjun, that stupid overlord king dog is still kneeling outside the gate. ”
Zhao Ping said to Zhao Yilang, who came to see the excitement, at this time: "You let him get up and take him to take a bath." It's best to wash the smell clean and then change his clothes. Zhao Yilang covered his nose and reluctantly agreed.
Soon Zhao Yilang came over with a young man with wet hair, who turned out to be Wang Gou'er. At this time, he changed into a suit of clothes, and looked much more energetic than before.
When he came to Zhao Ping, he ran three times and bowed nine times. Mouth: "The king." Although Zhao Ping accepted his great gift, he said: "I am not your king. ”
Wang Gou'er couldn't help but be stunned, looking up at Zhao Ping, not knowing what to do.
Zhao Yilang kicked him in the ass and scolded, "Call Master." ”
Wang Gou'er bowed respectfully again: 'Master is above, come and see you.' After Wang Gou'er met Zhao Yilang, Zhao Erlang, and Zhao Yiniang, he finally became the youngest seventh junior brother, and suddenly his stomach had already come: "Coo" sound, Wang Gou'er said embarrassedly: "Master, the apprentice is hungry." ”
It happens to be lunch now, since the birth of the fairy soap, Zhaojiazhuang has not only resumed three meals a day, but also has meat every day.
Although it is pork, mutton, chicken, and fish in turn, they live a paradise-like life that has never been there.
Today is just in time to eat pork, and the amount is full.
However, my mother doesn't like pork, so she ate a plate of vegetables and ate a bowl of rice more than usual.
While eating the cabbage, she kept wiping sweat on her forehead and nose, and her mouth was so spicy that the pepper "hissed". Seeing that the herb had to feel that she had been eliminated by herself, her mother suddenly blushed.
Looking at Zhao Ping, who was smiling, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, came to Zhao Ping's side, and stretched out his hand skillfully, and Zhao Ping's ears came with pain one after another.
Zhao Ping covered his ears and turned his head to look at his mother and asked, "Mother, I haven't done anything bad, why do you want to twist my ears again?" ”
The mother stretched out her left hand and scolded, "Bring it." ”
Zhao Ping was even more puzzled, and looked up at his mother: "What did you bring, mother?" ”
The mother's mother increased the twisting force with her right hand, which made Zhao Ping even more painful, and said in her mouth: "What else, of course it is this fairy pepper." ”
Zhao Ping's face turned green, and it reached his mother's ears with affirmation: "Mother, it's really gone." The next time you taste the fairy pepper, you can only wait for the beginning of autumn. Everyone work hard, and in a few months, you will still be able to taste this delicious taste. ”
In the midst of everyone's cheers, Zhao Yilang came over with Wang Gou'er with an embarrassed face, looked at everyone, and then pointed at Wang Gou'er and asked, "Master, elders, please guess how much the boy's little junior brother ate?" ”
Zhao Jie stretched out a slap, which meant five bowls.
Zhao Yilang shook his head, and then laughed and said: "The apprentice knows that the master and the elders can't guess that the apprentice, the little junior brother, has eaten twelve bowls of dry rice, which is three times that of the apprentice, and the apprentice can't believe that he is the same age as the younger one." He almost ate a bucket of dry rice, which can be called a rice bucket. ”
Zhao Jie stepped forward and patted Wang Gou'er on the shoulder, looked at the direction of a Wangjiazhuang opposite, and said: "It's hard for this child, when his mother gave birth to him, he died in childbirth." Now the family is headed by the stepmother, and there are several half-siblings in the family. Although this child has a family and his younger siblings can't eat enough, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals in Wangjia Village. ”
Wang Gou'er couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Zhao Jie and buried his head in him, crying and crying. Zhao Jie also hugged him tightly, first gently rubbed his forehead, and suddenly said sharply: "Since you have already apprenticed, you must study your skills hard." If you have two hearts, the old man will never forgive you. ”
Wang Gou'er looked up at Zhao Jie, suddenly knelt down, and said: "Zhao Wengweng, don't worry, in the past, it was a last resort in Wangjia Village, but now that the villain has apprenticed, the villain will take care of him as his own home." ”
Lan'er suddenly thought of a question, looked at Wang Gou'er curiously and asked, "Little junior brother, I want to ask you a question, where have you lived at night these days, and you haven't frozen?" ”
Wang Gou'er scratched his head embarrassedly, pointed to the direction where there were animals living and said, "It's in the haystack." I made a hole in the haystack and it was very warm. ”
Lan'er "pounced" and smiled: "Isn't that a yellow dog?" ”
caused everyone to laugh, and Wang Gou'er was embarrassed to laugh.
At this moment, the voice of surprise came from the mother: "Ping'er, your uncle has finally sent a letter, or your uncle has a way, come here, you can read your uncle's letter." ”
Zhao Ping had no choice but to come to the backyard, only to see his mother holding a letter, and the fire paint had been opened.
While giving him the letter, the mother said excitedly: "Ping'er should thank your uncle a lot." He asked someone to find a relationship, and the county school finally agreed to recruit two. ”
Zhao Ping suddenly felt like someone had pulled out a basin of cold water, he had not laid a good economic foundation for this base, his mother wanted to study in his own county, and he left, how to develop this base, how to train the force, how to fight against the Hu people?
