Chapter 2 My bread is not lacking
Taiwei was full of curiosity about this Zhuangzi, and a powerful young man suddenly appeared next to Huangzhuang, which was incredible.
Yes, in his opinion, it is powerful.
Because it is also wheat, the one planted in Huangzhuang is not as good as that planted by Li Yi Zhuangzi.
It was obviously worse than ten days of maturity, and Li Yi Zhuangzi's wheat grew stronger.
Look at the variety is the same.
What went wrong?
Pondering, he looked at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch didn't pay attention to the Zhuangzi next to him before, his mind was more on the palace, and he wanted to go back.
Seeing the growth of Li Yi Zhuangzi's wheat now, he was also a little confused.
The eunuch naturally understands that the wheat on Li Yi's Zhuangzi will be harvested first.
Better understand how big the difference is.
Ten days earlier means a lot less risk.
Once the wheat reaches maturity and encounters heavy rain, the early harvest is finished, or even sun-dried.
Those harvested late will either have a reduced yield and the grains will not be full, or the wheat will sprout after being rained.
"Captain, I'm ...... I ......, "The eunuch is in a hurry, how can I explain it?"
"I'll follow it next year." Taiwei, that is, Li Chengqi, chose to forgive the eunuch.
But the eunuch felt bitter in his heart, meaning that he would not be able to go back this year.
In charge of an imperial village, how can you go back and serve the emperor? For example, Colliers.
"Call me Li ...... for a while Big. You speak in a tight voice. Li Chengqi commanded.
"Yes, too...... Li. The eunuch hurriedly suppressed his throat, and his voice became less sharp.
At this point, he is more envious of Gaolis, and he is also missing something, why does Gaolishi speak in a thick voice?
The two of them said that they came to the place where garlic was planted, a large piece of land, a hundred acres.
A group of people bent over and sprinkled garlic cloves.
Some people carried baskets of garlic cloves with flat poles and sent them to the ground.
Soon Li Chengqi found Li Yi in the crowd, because Li Yi's temperament is different from others, even if he is also working.
He looked at the ground, wet, and stepped in.
The eunuch grinned, gritted his teeth and followed, and his shoes were wet all of a sudden.
"Li Yi?" Li Chengqi stood next to Li Yi and asked.
Li Yi looked up: "Ah, it's me." ”
"Brother Li Xian is invited." Li Chengqi clenched his fists.
"Brother Ren, please." Li Yi returned the gift with a pair of clay hands.
"Brother Li Xian, why do you grow garlic in the wetland?" Li Chengqi asked the doubts in his heart.
He knows that when planting garlic, it is planted first and then watered.
"The weather is cold, the ground is short of fertilizer, first inject water to soak fertilizer, dry for two days, the ground temperature rises, the soil is moist and warm, the northern land, spring garlic planting, when it is."
Li Yi introduced the situation.
In Chang'an, the fertility of the land is not enough.
If the fertilizer is mixed into the soil, then irrigated, the temperature of garlic planting.
Therefore, wet sowing method should be used in the north of spring planting, first water-soluble fertilizer, and then the temperature will rise after the sun, and then garlic seeding.
It's a win-win-win-win
It's called scientific planting.
"The weather is cold and the water is cold, when you soak it first and then plant it in the sun?"
Li Chengqi thought he knew how to farm, but he found out that he didn't understand a problem.
"Exactly." Li Yi nodded and began to clove garlic again.
"After that?" Li Chengqi squatted down to ask for advice, he thought it was interesting.
"Top dressing, garlic is the most difficult to grow, and the requirements for fertilizer are high. If the weather is dry, chase water and fertilizer, such as rainfall, chase dry fertilizer. ”
Li Yi replied casually, how simple is it, do you still need to ask?
Li Chengqi felt that he was despised, he took a deep breath and changed the topic: "When the village is green and yellow, is there enough food?" ”
Li Yi looked up at him: "There is a Zhuangzi?" ”
"Yes." Li Chengqi replied truthfully.
According to the spacing, Li Yi continued to sprinkle garlic cloves.
At the same time, he said: "Whether there is enough food depends on how much you eat, and if you eat too much, of course it will not be enough." ”
"Aren't you hungry if you don't eat?" Li Chengqi said in his heart, isn't this nonsense?
"Whether you are hungry or not depends on how much oil and water you have in your stomach, and those who always eat meat will eat less food. He who always eats meat and oil eats less grain. But no? ”
"Yes!"
"There is no shortage of oil on my farm, so everyone's surplus grain is enough to support the harvest." Li Yi introduced, without concealing it at all.
He is also very willing to tell the other party that if the other party listens and does it, he will increase his lifespan.
Li Chengqi felt that he understood, Li Yi was rich, and nodded: "Look at the meat oil purchased by Brother Li Xian's village?" ”
Li Yi shook his head: "There is not so much meat oil, I use soybean oil." ”
"Soybean oil? Which bean? Is there oil in beans? Li Chengqi understood, but was even more confused.
"Soybeans, yes, after squeezing the oil, you can still make tofu, but the tofu is not very delicious. If you don't make tofu, you can eat it steamed with bean cakes. ”
Li Yi said with a smile.
"The beans are fishy, can they produce oil? Is the oil not fishy? Li Chengqi had an in-depth discussion.
"The disadvantage of cooking with soybean oil is that it is more fishy, especially when the raw oil is cooked. However, we can use sauce or chopped green onion to stir the pot. ”
Li Yi is in a good mood, and the other party is curious.
Maybe you can sell soybean oil in the future.
If the other party is strong enough, simply tell the other party how to squeeze soybean oil.
Then the other party provides oil and water to many people and earns their own life.
***
It's noon, and everyone doesn't need to be sent food, just go back to the restaurant to eat.
Li Chengqi shouted one by one Li Xian and followed.
The maidservant who had stayed behind and did not go to work prepared the meal.
Put a lot of soybean oil in a large pan and cook scallion pancakes.
Soybean cake made from soybean fried bean cake and spread with sauce.
Stir-fried garlic sprouts with bacon, wild vegetable and egg soup.
There are also dried vegetables from last year marinated in shrimp paste and small pickles marinated in pork rind.
The people who had worked all morning were not polite, and shook off their cheeks and ate violently.
"Brother Li Xian, are you giving them this?" Li Chengqi was surprised, this life is too good, right?
"Ah, where do you get the strength to work?" Li Yi was surprised, and said secretly, you lack heart, right?
"Where's the bran?" The eunuch understood what the boss meant, and asked in a suppressed voice.
"Feed the pigs and feed the chickens, otherwise where will the eggs come from?" Li Yi looked over, meaning to say, you are also stupid, right?
Listening to the three of them, the tenant farmer who ate and the person who was bought unconsciously straightened their chests, and there was a kind of pride.
With the proprietor here, even if he is not busy on weekdays, two meals a day are indispensable.
Now I work, three meals a day, eat fragrant food, and have enough.
Li Yi doesn't care, he is used to it, he used to be the owner of a small company.
Can employees eat badly?
In order to take care of the young female employees, he also bought milk tea machines and ingredients, so that the employees could learn to make them and drink them casually.
Then an employee became proficient in the operation, so he resigned and sold milk tea.
How can this kind of thing be reasonable?
Li Chengqi ate the soybean oil baked cakes and cooked dishes, and felt good, so he asked: "The oil is made from the beans?" ”
"However, in fact, the soybean cake after squeezing the oil, steamed with wild vegetables, mixed with sauce, and served with wine."
Li Yi said that the experience of soybean cake oil extraction is not clean with the current technology, and it can be eaten.
"How did you squeeze it?" Li Chengji asked the key question.
The eunuch coughed in his throat and reminded the boss, don't ask, other people's craftsmanship.
The oil in the beans can be heirlooms.
"When the garlic is planted in the past two days, I will squeeze it for you once, and you will know it by looking at it."
Li Yi doesn't care, as long as he can increase his lifespan, he is willing to find someone to promote it.
When he thought of promotion, he thought of soy sauce, which has to make money.
So he took the initiative to invite: "Why don't you take prison pills together tonight?" Garlic sprout egg sea rice filling, that is called a fresh, boiled and eaten. ”
Li Chengqi was tempted, he had never eaten boiled prison pills, they were all steamed.
So in the afternoon, when I continued to plant garlic, a group of silent people came, dressed as farmers.
They helped, quickly finished planting garlic, and then Li Chengqi looked good at how to squeeze soybean oil.
He felt that he should help his younger brother, and if the beans could produce oil, then many people would be able to eat oil and eat less grain.
He understands the matter of oil and water.
More than 100 new entrants, a hundred acres of garlic were planted before it got dark.
Seeing that the sun was still so high, Li Yi hurriedly ordered the maid to cook, and everyone who came had to eat.
The male slave took a little rest and also went to help.
Today, everyone eats prison pills together, garlic sprouts are not enough, replace them with wild vegetables, and add more eggs.
Make another tofu soup, so that the helper can't be hungry.
If it weren't for the wheat harvest and the farming, Li Yi would have wanted to fall to his death.
The cow that fell to death can pay a little money, and the government will not pursue it.
This is actually quite unreasonable, the cow is his own, why should he break the law if he kills it? Accidental death is also fined?
The people called by Li Chengqi looked at it, and saw that the people on Li Yi Zhuangzi were still so happy after the extra work.
They can't figure it out, as tenants, they have to do other work for the proprietor if they rent the land and plant?
The point is to add extra work, and the ten tenants are not angry yet.
And then when they saw a group of children, dressed in the same clothes, lining up to sing songs they hadn't heard before.
They're all confused, what's the situation?
"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the birds say early, why are you carrying a small school bag?"
"I go to school, I don't be late every day, I love to study, I love to work, and I want to make contributions to Datang when I grow up."
The children were singing, and their faces were flushed, and they couldn't see any dishes.
"Daddy, mother......" The children came over and scattered to run to their parents.
Now the person who was ordered to come and help understood.
The proprietor of the village made the same clothes and the same school bag for the tenants' children, and they learned for free.
There is also a pen and paper inkstone in the school bag.
Looking at the faces of the children, there must be no shortage of food.
Looking at the clean appearance of the child, it is clear that he is a child of a rich family.
Then they watched the children greet their parents, and then ran to stand in front of Li Yi.
"Brother proprietor, thank you!" The children clasped their fists together and saluted like adults.
Li Yi smiled kindly: "Have you studied well today?" ”
"Learn well~~" the children shouted together.
"Then tonight, one person will have a dry fish, go back and smash it to eat." Li Yi said loudly.
"Okay", "I have dry fish to eat again", "The proprietor's brother is the best"
The children cheered.
They shouted and dispersed, went back to put their school bags and changed into farm clothes.
They jumped and jumped, still humming songs.
"Little boy, carrying that schoolbag to school, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of the wind and rain, just afraid that Mr. will scold me for being lazy, uneducated, and shameless to see my father and mother......"
Li Chengqi looked and listened, trembling all over.
What he felt was a kind of power, a majestic power, a power that made his heart surge.
He breathed hard, tried his best to adjust his mentality, and asked Li Yi: "What is a dry fish?" ”
"Dried fish, remove the bones, internal organs, head and tail, first steamed and then dried fish, when eating, use a small wooden hammer to smash, smashed soft as a snack."
Li Yi introduced, saying that he was slandered.
Li Chengqi was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be better to give meat directly?" ”
Li Yi shook his head with a smile: "The children are not short of meat, they like to smash the fish by themselves, and the things they get for nothing are not fragrant to eat." ”
Li Chengji's heart trembled again, he didn't get it for nothing, didn't he eat it?
I see, no wonder I always feel bored and have some fun.
