151: Kill a pig

Ruixue Trillion Year.

When the second heavy snow fell, the imperial court's government affairs were also empty, and except for the household department, which was still working overtime, the other ministries were basically preparing to summarize the past and look forward to the future.

Qin Yue began his routine inspection and visit, and in addition to Cheng Shen and the guards, he was also accompanied by four young men.

Zhuang Zheng, Bao Chao, Cai Zhi, Zhao Quan, the first three are all their own sons and nephews, and they are also Cheng Shen's disciples, but Zhao Quan is the king's scholar, and he can't stand the relationship between the four of them like brothers.

This time it was nervous, and the blood on his face was dripping.

blamed himself for his rotten tongue, saying that his home was not far away, and he would arrive in half an hour at most on horseback, and His Majesty would be happy, and said that Quanzi's house would go to the autumn breeze.

Can be your own home......

There are three earthen houses, the urine buckets are all in the hall, and the stove room is connected to the pigsty, which stinks......

But His Majesty was in front of him, but he didn't have the courage to refuse, so he had to hang his head and walk weakly to the village, the cold wind after the snow was as cold as a knife, and he was unconscious on his face.

Qin Yue naturally saw such an embarrassment in his eyes, but he didn't say anything about it, and only smiled and rode his horse slowly.

Waqiao Village is really not far from the newly built economic development zone in Yizhou, it takes less than half an hour to walk, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to ride a horse. It's just that Zhao Quan goes home less, and the changes are big for a while, and I don't know the north and the south.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a group of people standing at the head of the village to greet them, including parents, six uncles, and patriarchs.

Zhao Quan couldn't wait to slap himself, stupid, Your Majesty is out on patrol, of course someone will stand in front. He was young, and immediately became excited, raising his hands and shouting: "Dad, mother......"

No one paid attention to him, including his parents, and he knelt down in the snow with a "plop" and splashed mud.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Qin Yue's face darkened, he turned over and dismounted with a cold snort, trotted quickly, pulled up the eldest old man, and then pulled the villagers up one by one, and said helplessly: "The ground is full of mud, how to kneel down, hurry back, change your clothes, so as not to suffer from the cold." ”

"Your Majesty can come to Waqiao Village, it is a blessing for the grass people, the grass people are warm in their hearts, there is no need to change ......"

"Lying down", someone knelt down again, but it was a young man in a light green official robe, "the minister is incompetent, and he can't persuade ......"

Qin Yue didn't pull him, nor did he tell him to get up, and said lightly: "If you like to kneel, just kneel and pour incense, kneeling to welcome is not a sincere performance, what I want is a real and honest welcome, it is said that the people of the world are the emperor's people, in fact, it is not right to say this." ”

Qin Yue paused and continued: "It is most appropriate to call the villagers fathers and elders, without the hard work of the fathers and villagers, without their male farmers and women weaving, where are the gorgeous clothes and delicacies, where is the wealth and health, respect them as respect, this is right." Old man, please! ”

The old man of the clan was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly explained: "It's the grass people who don't know the general situation, and they insist on kneeling to greet them, and it's not about Lord Li's business, if you want to punish it, you can punish the little old man......"

"It's none of the old man's business, it's his explanation that the work is not in place, forget it, since the villager is interceding for you, get up, don't take it as an example."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi got up, didn't shoot the muddy water on his legs, and thanked the old man of the clan first, and then bowed forward without any embarrassment.

Qin Yue looked at this guy who was three years older than himself, and he was also a little temperless, the son of the official eunuch family, his heart was more crooked than others.

Zhao Quanzao was with his parents, his face was full of pride, his mother's tears of joy, and his father Tugen, with a mouth full of yellow teeth, couldn't find the north with joy, or the neighbor pulled him, then he came to his senses and patted his son's head, "Don't lead the way before you go." ”

Her mother-in-law pushed him angrily: "The whole son has never come back, how do you know the way." ”

"Oh, yes, Quanzi, we have a new home, so let's go, let's go."

Quanzi's new home is actually not far from the old house, but it is closer to the road, with car doors, a courtyard, five brick houses lined up, and two wings on the left and right. There is a well in the courtyard and a stone mill, and at first glance it is freshly drilled.

Although the layout is a farmhouse compound, it looks like it is also the top style in the village, Zhao Quan felt that he had face on his face, and saw that His Majesty had sat down in the hall accompanied by the patriarch.

Seeing that his son didn't understand any etiquette, Tugen was anxious and afraid, Qin Yue waved his hand and said: "A few of them, better than their own brothers, just let them go, it's also rare to relax for a few days, ah, the whole son is good, smart, clever, Zuo Xiang likes it very much, speaking of which, he can be regarded as his disciple, Brother Tugen gave birth to a good son." ”

The bluffing soil root almost knelt down again, and he was a hoe swinger, so how could His Majesty call his brother.

Qin Yue took an orange and peeled it, he knew from the feel that this was a high-grade sand sweet orange, it must have been brought by Li Zhi, this kid, his mind was all on the left road, he pretended not to know at the moment, first peeled one for the clan elder, and then took another one in his hand, and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Tugen is the best hand at farming and raising silkworms in this left, how is the harvest this year?" ”

As soon as Tugen heard about the harvest, he was happy, rubbed his thick hands, and said with a smile: "This year's rice planting is good, at least three or five buckets more per mu are harvested, and it is still illegal, and the abductors are the best, with a yield of more than 400 catties per mu." ”

"Oh, that's good, who's the kidnapper?"

"It's going to be lively from outside."

Immediately, the guards went out, and after a while, a middle-aged man on crutches came in, and he wanted to kowtow, but the guards grabbed him, and he froze there and didn't know what to do, the two trembled.

Cheng Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to ask, how did you grow more than 400 catties per mu?" ”

The kidnapper breathed a sigh of relief and stammered: "The seeds given by the government, Lao Jiu don't want it, so he took it, mixed the two seeds together, and picked the fullest seeds, and according to the method, the seedlings were sparsely sown, and the seedlings were sparsely pulled, and the seedlings were planted at a distance of six inches, which was much wider than in previous years. ”

Qin Yue nodded and praised, "The light is enough, the harvest is good, has anyone in the county come down to investigate?" ”

"Yes, there are several people, and there is one who seems to be a senior official in the court, but he is barefoot and black-skinned, not like, they looked at a certain grain, and then set aside the rice roots to look at it, saying that the fertility is not enough, otherwise it will be better."

"Can you help you come up with a solution?"

"Yes, now every household has a septic tank, and human and animal manure is fermented, but it's just ...... This thinned out, and I don't know if the fertility is good or not. ”

Qin Yue said with a smile: "It's this method, you have to believe in science, such as planting sesame seeds in rotation, it can also increase fertility, and it can also increase fertility slightly by storing water and rotting fields in winter, and it can also freeze and kill insect eggs, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and every improvement measure introduced by the imperial court is for more agricultural growth." ”

The kidnapper slapped his thigh, "That's right, there are still twenty or thirty households in the village who have not planted new rice, and they all regret their deaths...... But ......"

"But what, just say it."

"This fat pig is easy to raise, but it is not easy to sell, a leg is inconvenient, other heavy work can not be done, and the mother-in-law raised five pigs together, but it is difficult to slaughter at the end of this year."

Qin Yue was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

"There are pigs in the house near the left, and there are none, and the neighbor next door killed the pig during the New Year, and a little point is enough, and I want to pull the city to sell, but the water is shallow in this winter, and I can't go by boat."

“……”

It is easy to raise pigs, as long as you have the strength to pull the pigweed, take off the raw water after fermentation, and mix some dishwashing water to feed it, but the problem of difficult slaughter, Qin Yue really didn't expect it, at this time, after a little thought, it was understood that inconvenient transportation is a problem, and no cold storage is also a problem.

"Where's bacon?"

The kidnapper cried with a sad face: "I can't finish eating by myself." ”

"I'll solve this problem."

Qin Yue got up with a smile, "There is a pig killer in the village, I just want to eat Mao Xuewang, whatever, teach you a way to sell pork at a higher price, well, the government collects it, and it is just the right armament." ”

Cured meat, as long as there is salt, you can look at it once, but there is a knack for marinating the whole ham, salting and sinking the tank, and drying also talks about the heat, this, Qin Yue has seen a lot since he was a child, and he even marinated it several times in his mother's nagging in his previous life.

As soon as he heard that he was going to kill the pig, four and a half children ran out of the room on the left, and everyone's eyes were bright.

Although the four of them are solemn, they now eat well and dress well, but killing pigs is a childhood memory deeply imprinted in my heart.

The most beautiful!
