Chapter 127: The Locust Plague Emerges
In order to let Du He understand the truth contained in the farmer's godson, and prevent him from provoking Li Chengqian to kill Li Er in the future, Jia Yi decided to let Du He personally experience the life of the farmer, and only when he began to intervene in the affairs of the farmer's godson and saw the changes of the farmer's son in the future, he would really understand this truth.
The expansion speed of the Sifang Inn, even Jia Yi was surprised, if it weren't for the impact of the Duhe poisoning incident, the Sifang Inn might have developed faster, but Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, the main focus of the Sifang Inn was stir-frying, and the peanut oil squeezed by Jia Yi with peanuts could not be used by all the inns at all, and only when the new peanuts were unearthed could such a large amount of consumption be supplied.
As for the rapeseed oil used in other restaurants for stir-frying, after a winter of consumption, there are now very few left, and there are no more restaurants that can have stir-fried vegetables, it is no exaggeration to say that Sifang Restaurant and Qingyun Restaurant have occupied seventy percent of the profits of all restaurants in Gyeonggi Province, and the remaining two percent are swallowed by another restaurant.
Jia Yi is very strange, why can this world restaurant find so much rapeseed oil, you must know that there is not much rapeseed output in the entire Gyeonggi Province, except for the rapeseed left in the farmer's home for this year's seeds, all the rapeseed that appears on the market has basically been divided by major restaurants, otherwise after Jia Yi announced the production method of rapeseed oil at that time, there would not be so many stir-fried vegetables in restaurants in Chang'an City and surrounding counties.
Jia Yi is very sure that there will never be excess rapeseed oil in Gyeonggi Province, so where does the rapeseed oil come from in the world's restaurants, which has become the focus of Jia Yi's thinking.
Lin Ruyu's character as a good wife and mother has not changed in any way since she married Jia Yi, when Jia Yi supervised the production in the greenhouse area, Lin Ruyu would always cook food from Duqu County and bring it to Jia Yi in person.
With the moisture of love, Lin Ruyu's face became more rounded, and the jerkiness on her face quickly disappeared, replaced by the special charm of a mature woman.
If Jia Yi was attracted by Lin Ruyu's beauty at the beginning, then now the things that attract Jia Yi have increased, that is, the charming charm that emanates from Lin Ruyu.
"Death, so many people are watching." Lin Ruyu quickly broke free from Jia Yi's grasp, tidied up her clothes, stood up from Jia Yi's side with a red face, and stayed away from him.
"Just look at it, the old husband and wife are still afraid of people looking at it, you say you are too, why do you always like to blush at every turn." Since the beautiful daughter-in-law can't eat it, she can only eat the meal made by the daughter-in-law herself, and stuff a mouthful of food into her mouth, well, it tastes very good.
"You are thick-skinned and not afraid of other people's irresponsible opinions, but I am thin-skinned and afraid of others chewing the root of your tongue, if you are still like this in the future, then I will send someone else to bring you food." Lin Ruyu glanced at Jia Yi without complying and gave him an ultimatum.
In order to be able to see his beautiful daughter-in-law all the time in the future, Jia Yi finally gave up the idea of wanting to kiss Fang Ze in front of the public, pulled Lin Ruyu to him, and the two began to eat in a proper manner.
After eating, Jia Yi would explain to Lin Ruyu the operation and management methods of his family's property, whether it was a greenhouse or the earth, or a glass factory and salt factory opened in partnership with the emperor.
It is worth mentioning that the emperor didn't know which way to smoke, so that the salt factory was running at full strength again, Jia Yi couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it, could it be that Li Er had found enough food to solve the locust plague? This reserve of salt is for war, isn't he afraid that the soldiers in Guanzhong will go hungry on the battlefield?
Just when Jia Yi was thinking wildly, a team of people galloped from a distance, and quickly came to Jia Yi's side, led by one of them, Jia Yi knew his identity at a glance, this kind of hair is white, and the most popular beard in the Tang Dynasty must be the eunuch in the palace.
Sure enough, as this person's sharp voice drilled into Jia Yi's ears, Jia Yi was even more sure of his conjecture.
"Boss Jia, the slave family was ordered by the emperor to come and send you money."
As soon as he heard this, Jia Yi couldn't help but shudder, this eunuch of the Tang Dynasty and the shemales of later generations are almost the same level of existence, although this eunuch's face is already covered with folds, but it is still difficult to hide the delicate face of this eunuch when he was young.
"Money, what money, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't owe me money."
Jia Yi wondered, the emperor has always been a Pixiu, only the lord who eats and does not pull, when did he not rob the silver from his house, why did he start to send him money now.
"The slave family doesn't know, Boss Jia will click the money first, if there is no problem, the slave family will go back to the palace to resume his life."
couldn't help but shudder again, as soon as Jia walked to the car, he lifted the linen cloth covering the car, revealing a large pile of copper coins on the car.
After a little calculation, it turned out to be 10,000 yuan, what does this Li Er mean by quietly giving himself 10,000 yuan, this thing has to be asked quickly, otherwise it will be a thunder, maybe it will blow up when.
After the eunuch left, Jia Yi found a horse, turned over on the horse, and galloped away in the direction of Chang'an City.
The person who can clearly know Li Er's behavior is estimated to be Qin Qiong, the governor of the Heavenly Machine, who quickly found Qin Qiong, and asked his doubts directly without saying a word.
"The 10,000 guan you said is the emperor's share of you after making money."
Looking at Qin Qiong's face full of smiles, Jia Yi wondered, when did he partner with the emperor to do business, why didn't he know?
Looking at the puzzled expression on Jia Yi's face, Qin Qiong laughed even louder.
"Haha, boy, the emperor sold a batch of glass."
Wake up from the dream, Jia Yi suddenly understood, it must have been the emperor who took out the glass made by the glass factory before and sold it, but what surprised Jia Yi was that even he got a dividend of 10,000 yuan, so how much money did the emperor have to make.
"Uncle Qin, who did the emperor sell the glass to, and he made so much money."
"I can't tell you about this yet, you won't know about it then, go back and spend your money with peace of mind, there is no other meaning in this."
Qin Qiong sent Jia Yi away without saying anything, which made Jia Yi even more confused, but there is a way that it is not about himself, Jia Yi thought, anyway, the emperor has made money, it is a happy thing, he can't hang himself up and beat him again because he received the money.
Jia Yi, who had settled down, put this matter behind him for a while, and returned to Duqu County again.
For several days, Jia Yi was supervising the farmers planting peanuts, and peanut oil will completely replace rapeseed oil this year and become the new edible oil, so the planting must not be sloppy, this is a big matter related to the life and death of all Sifang restaurants.
It's just that the more nervous you are, the more things will happen, and after a few days, when you came to the peanut field again to check the growth of the flowers, you found that there were a lot of bouncing creatures in the peanut field.
Seeing the locusts, Jia Yi was shocked, this is the prelude to the imminent start of the locust plague, and after a month, the first batch of locusts will grow up, which will set off a wave of locust plague, and then the entire Gyeonggi Province and some counties in the inner province will be attacked by locusts, and this year is destined to have no harvest, many farmers will be displaced, and even the tragedy of changing children and eating will occur.
At the same time, Jia Yi quickly returned to the Lin Mansion, checked the growth of the ten cylinders of locust plague, did not watch all winter, when Jia Yi opened the lid, he was almost frightened, the oil tank that was originally filled with castor oil, now where is the shadow of oil, all of them have become colorful fungus, find a stick in the tank and stir it quickly, the original purple oil, at this moment directly turned into black and purple, if you don't look carefully, I thought it would be black.
The concentration of this plague is too high, Jia Yi asked people to dilute this cylinder of plague into ten cylinders, and when the oil cylinder turned purple again, Jia Yi found several water dragon carts from Duqu County, pulled ten oil cylinders, and came to the river beach.
No matter how small the grasshopper is, it will also eat the dealer, in order to prevent the peanuts that have just sprouted from being eaten by locusts, Jia Yi directly sprayed the plague in the peanut field.
Those little locusts were soon infected by the plague, and then fell to the ground and died, the effect of the plague was as good as ever, which made Jia Yi's nervous heart finally let go, the oil cylinder was placed in the greenhouse area, and the water hook car was not in a hurry to return it, let's see the specific effect first.
The locust plague has already appeared, and this matter must be told to Qin Qiong, so that the imperial court can prepare in advance.
The next day, when Jia Yi came to the peanut field again, he found that there were no small locusts in the peanut field, and the small locusts jumped up again, but these locusts did not last long before they were infected with the plague and fell to the ground and died.
