Chapter 500: Shaving Silver [Fourth Update 9/10]
Zhang Wanxun glanced at Liu Renli, all the complaints just now were gone, and the main owner didn't have any opinions on what he could do, although that basket was not enough for him to eat, hey bear with it!
Liu Renli was happy, and hurriedly asked people to prepare things, Zhang Huaiyuan called a few farmers and came over with a few stoves.
One is a special barbecue grill made by Kitayama, and the other is a large pot on top of the stove, and looking at the heat on it, it has obviously been burning for a while.
At this time, Fang Jizhong had already sent someone to set up the tables and chairs, and the old emperor sat down and chatted with Zhang Fuling with a tea cup, glancing at the stove here from time to time.
"Fang Companion asked the guards to work with him, and when he comes today, he can't just watch, let's go over and help!"
The facial features on Fang Jizhong's face were already wrinkled together, and he hurried closer.
"What is this, isn't it ...... if there is no one around to protect you?"
"Long-winded, hurry up and go to the micro-service patrol today, where are there so many thoroughness, who else do you need here Zhang Aiqing and you, do you have to let people know that our identity is extraordinary?"
Fang Jizhong instantly lost his charter and waved his hand at the guards behind him.
"Don't pestle, follow Liu Zhizhou's arrangement, and go to work!"
Those guards were a little dumbfounded, but this was the emperor's order, and if anyone disobeyed, they were uncomfortable, so they quickly put down the weapons in their hands, and followed them over the canal and came to Liu Renli.
Liu Renli didn't feel uncomfortable, it was not good to have free labor, and patted Laifu on the shoulder.
"You assign them a ditch and a task, let people take them, and now start raising golden potatoes."
Laifu said yes, walked over and gave an order, then raised a flag, waved the flag in a circle towards everyone, and commanded again:
"Start the golden potatoes, clean them up and send them to the weighing place, put them in the bucket of your own group number, and start!"
With this command, these peasant households rushed towards the ditch like hungry wolves, their eyes shining, not walking slowly but running, lest anyone fall behind.
Raise the small iron claw in your hand to hook the seedlings, pull them upwards hard, one by one carefully, the seedlings are pulled out, a bunch of golden potatoes roll down, followed by two people, quickly knelt on the ground, planing with their bare hands, and put the golden potatoes into the basket.
Looking at their rare appearance, the old emperor stood up, put his hand on the pergola and carefully stared at the field, the peasant's devotion to the land was undoubtedly revealed in these people, and he was in awe of all the food given by God, and this awe could be deeply felt even if he was the emperor.
After looking at it for a while, the old emperor took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves.
Fang Jizhong was a person who had served the old emperor for decades, and he didn't know what he meant by such an action, so he hurriedly rushed forward in horror.
"Your Majesty can't help it!"
The old emperor took a sip, "Go, if you dodge and call this again, you will go to the Punishment Division and punish yourself." ”
Fang Jizhong was so anxious that he stomped his feet and looked at Zhang Fuling, hoping that this Master Zhang could persuade him, but when he saw it, it wilted instantly, because Zhang Fuling was the same, took off his coat, took out a belt out of nowhere, and tied the wide sleeved robe on his back.
"It's itchy to look at, why don't you join the master?"
The old emperor raised his head and laughed, "It's still Zhang Qing's family who understands me, go!" ”
Saying that, these two people didn't wait for Fang Jizhong, and walked directly towards the ridge that no one operated, Fang Jizhong stomped his foot, and hurriedly followed him, seeing that Laifu had the iron hook in his hand, he snatched the two of them, and walked forward with a hum.
After walking for less than two steps, Fang Jizhong turned around and glared at Laifu.
"Don't come and teach it yet, this thing can't just be seen."
The old emperor turned around and glanced at Fang Jizhong warningly, Fang Jizhong shrank his neck, and lost the anger of Wang Ba just now.
"It's not that I'm afraid of tiring you!"
The old emperor was angry and funny, and waved his hand at Laifu.
"When I come closer, I really want to teach how to use this thing, watching them operate is very simple, but it is not easy to get started."
Laifu is young, his feet are fast, and he rushed to the front of the old emperor and Zhang Fuling in three steps and two steps, took out two iron claws from his waist again, squatted in front of the golden potato seedlings, grabbed the seedlings with one hand, and hooked the ground with iron claws with the other.
"This is something we invented in Beishan, it is very easy to use, and it is not easy to hurt the golden potato, after all, this thing is delicate, and it will be damaged when it is pierced out.
Like this, grab the seedlings with one hand and pull them horizontally, and then hook the soil of the seedlings' roots, so pull back, and the root system will come out. ”
The old emperor nodded, learned the appearance of Laifu, squatted in front of the ditch and grabbed the iron claws and seedlings, pulled them back, looking at such a simple action, when he arrived at the old emperor, the seedlings seemed to be sucked by the land, and they couldn't pull them out.
With the last force, he sat on the ground with only a few leaves in his hand, Fang Jizhong wanted to come over to help people, but was pushed away by the old emperor, he stood up stubbornly, thought about the action of Laifu, and pulled it horizontally again.
This time it seemed that he had mastered the method, and a bunch of golden potatoes came out with the seedlings, and the old emperor couldn't hide a smile on his face, looking at the dozen or so huge golden potatoes behind him, and constantly nodding towards Laifu.
"It's a good method, I didn't expect one tree to produce so much."
Zhang Fuling was very sharp, squatting on the ground, and putting all these golden potatoes in the basket.
"Sixteen, so many?"
Laifu smiled, with a row of white teeth on his dark face, he originally looked a little panicked, but now it doesn't seem so scary to see too much.
"The more difficult the seedlings are, the more golden potatoes there may be below, and besides, we just dug out the top ones, and there may be very small ones underneath, but there is no need to rush to get these, after the harvest is over, many children and women will come and pick them up, and leave them to feed their hunger."
The old emperor came to his senses, glanced at Liu Renli, and obviously knew such a thing, but in this way, although the output was a little less, these people would not go hungry, and they all felt touching when they heard it.
The old emperor squatted down and picked up the soil, and sure enough, there were some underneath that had not been pulled out, but the head was much smaller, and the largest was no bigger than an egg.
He didn't speak, but took a step forward and began to pluck another seedling, and seemed to have found a trick, and this time it went very well.
Fang Jizhong walked to Liu Renli's side and poked him with his fingers.
"Your Majesty just get a few trees, he is old, and it is estimated that he will have back pain when he goes back."
Liu Renli shook his head, "Gonggong Fang doesn't understand, Your Majesty is really happy now, because there will be a lot fewer people starving to death this year, let Your Majesty feel it for yourself." ”
Fang Jizhong looked at Liu Renli as if he didn't understand, although he didn't understand it, it seemed to make sense to hear it, and he was suddenly out of words.
With a sigh, he ran over to help the old emperor pick up the golden potatoes on the ground, and Liu Renli called Zhang Huaiyuan on his side.
"Cook more corn in the cauldron, take out the first pot when it is cooked, and then boil another pot, and put more potato chips on the oven, this roast also tastes very good."
Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly moved, beckoned someone, found a huge basin, fished out the freshly boiled corn, and then refilled the pot.
After such a toss, the rich taste came out, and the old emperor turned around and took a look, thumped the old waist and threw the iron claws to Zhang Fuling.
"You come here for a while, this work is not easy, looking at those farmers who seem to be very relaxed, I really don't know how tired they usually are."
Zhang Fuling was younger after all, and the movements in his hands were fast, and he smiled at the old emperor.
"For the local farmers, the land here is reclaimed by them, there is no squire to take care of it, and there is no need to pay the field endowment, every one produced, it is grain and silver, today is the day of the cash, and one by one naturally makes enough energy."
The old emperor also smiled, "Yes, this is the difference, if the price of this golden potato is not low, and it can also be used as food for hunger, it is really a merit, and it is a great merit!" ”
