The next morning, Su Yang'er and Xiaoling had breakfast. Hearing Xiaoling say that Yue Er had learned that Yue Yun was in her house, Su Yang'er stayed for a long time, sighed a few times, and asked about Yue Yun and Yang Bao, but said that Yue Er insisted on taking Yue Yun away. Then he came to tell her that his mother-in-law and mother-in-law were already anxious yesterday, and if Yue Yun didn't go back, these two would come to beg for someone.

After a while, I heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Yue Er said in a rough voice: "Little lady, the villain came to thank you for taking in the dog girl last night, but the old mother at home can't leave him for half a day, and he must go home with me." Su Yang'er was worried that if she got too close to this Yue family, she would be implicated in trouble in the future, but she couldn't bear it.

Because the first thing Yue Yun thought of when she ran away from home was her Su Yang'er, it can be seen that her sister still has a lot of weight in Yue Yun's mind, if she lets him go back now, Yue Yun is afraid that she will inevitably suffer from a meal of flesh and skin, so it is better to leave him for two days.

said: "Little second brother, the dog likes to accompany me, your family has not been harmonious recently, and the scared children have run out to look for me, so you let him stay with me for two days, relieve my boredom, and go back to Aunt Yue and Sister-in-law Yue to say that I will eat and drink well and wait." ”

Yue Er was already introverted, and when he heard Su Yang'er mention family matters, his face was even more blue and red, as if he had said a sentence in his heart, it was really not a glorious thing for adults to quarrel and scared children to run away from home.

His face was gloomy, but he hesitated for a while, but still said: "Little lady, the villain has indeed been restless at home recently, but this matter has nothing to do with the dog. It's just that the villain wants to put two acres of thin land to supplement the family, and he has a conflict with his mother. ”

"He can farm?" Hearing this, Su Yang'er was stunned and thought, "By the way, how did I forget him!" These days, Su Yang'er has always wanted to inquire about food, but after asking all over the Su Mansion, no one has ever farmed, but he forgot Yue Er, and he couldn't help but ask: "Little second brother, have you ever farmed?" ”

Hearing her words, Yue Er suddenly turned around, and Yue Er outside the door said without thinking: "I have planted." Su Yang'er was pleasantly surprised: "Then do you know how much grain can be produced in an acre of land outside?" How long does this food last, and how is it preserved? ”

Seeing that the daughter who didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers would ask about this kind of thing, Yue Er was stunned and said: "Little lady, I don't know if you are asking about the wheat field in your hometown or the rice field in Yixing, the crops in the north and south are different, and the harvest is also different. ”

Su Yang'er hurriedly said: "Yixing is planting rice fields, right, you can tell me quickly." Yue Er said: "In fact, this rice field has never been planted by the villain, because the old mother is afraid that I will not be able to plant it." But I heard from the old local farmers that this rice field is easier to feed than the wheat field, and the Yamato Valley uses four liters of seeds per mu, which only produces half a hu, and the japonica seeds are expensive and not easy to feed. It is planted in the fertile fields in the east of the city, most of them are small and grain, this small and valley is planted with three liters per mu, the full yield is a hu, planted in spring, and rice can be obtained in 60 days. ”

When Su Yang'er heard this, she was puzzled: "What is Yamato Valley, and what is Yamato Valley?" ”

Yue Er replied: "The big and the valley are japonica rice, and the small and the valley are the mountain rice." Japonica rice is of high quality and high price, and each bucket is less than forty or fifty Wen, like the rice you eat on weekdays is this Yamato Valley; Shanhe rice is of low quality, only 25 wen per bucket, it is for the poor people like the villain to eat, you have never eaten since you were a child. ”

Speaking of this, there was a sour hint in his words, thinking: "A pampered daughter like a little lady, suddenly asked these words, presumably to prevaricate me, no, I have to continue to ask her for talent." ”

Su Yang'er secretly thought: "This sounds like this, Xiaohe grain has a large yield and is cheap, I will collect some more and save it, and then follow others to raise prices and sell it to those dead pariahs and large dog families who have fled, and I won't make a lot of money!" ”

Yue Er was about to speak, but Su Yang'er followed up and asked, "Then how does this Xiaohe Valley store grain, and how long can it be stored?" ”

Grain storage is the basic skill of farmers, most of the early rice in the Jiangnan area, this small and valley is actually the later generations called Zhancheng rice, but Su Yang'er does not know, and Yue Er is also a farmer from the north, although he knows how to store, but he does not know how long it can be stored.

I had to guess: "Generally, if rice is put in the warehouse, it can be stored for several months at most, but if it is put in the cellar, it will not be a problem for about a year or two, but the taste of the rice will change, and it is far less delicious than new rice." ”

Yue Er is also a cook after all, and he can't help but analyze the taste of old rice as he speaks.

Hearing this, Su Yang'er was overjoyed: "What is delicious, it is good for the untouchables to eat!" ”

She didn't know anything about farming and storing grain, and she couldn't improve it, at this time she heard that there was a way to put the rice for a year or two without being bad, and she was naturally happy, in fact, the cellar grain storage had been gradually eliminated in the Song Dynasty, not because this grain storage technology was not as good as the granary on the ground, on the contrary, the technology had been developed very well in the Tang Dynasty, and it could be stored longer.

However, due to the urbanization of the Song Dynasty, the rate of grain consumption was exacerbated, and the grain industry operators and farmers did not need to store it for so long to sell the grain in their hands, so they naturally tended to build above-ground granaries with smaller work costs and less time-consuming.

Seeing that she had been anxious for a long time, Su Yang'er immediately wanted to invite Yue Er into the house, and then ask clearly, it was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there.

At that moment, Su Yang'er opened the door and said, "Little second brother, come in and sit down, I still have something to ask you." Yue Er hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Lady's boudoir, the villain doesn't dare to enter, what else do you want to ask, the villain just stands and answers." Su Yang'er said with a smile: "Little second brother, you cook so deliciously, I didn't expect the crops to be so good, I..."

Yue Er has always been introverted, and since he entered the mansion, he may not have talked to Su Yang'er as much as he has today, at this time, listening to her boasting violently, he actually forgot about Yue Yun, and when he heard the usefulness and was a little ashamed, he suddenly heard a shout from outside the hospital: "Sister! There's a big dog biting me! ”

Su Yang'er's voice stopped, and the two looked at the sound, but saw that it was Yue Yun who trotted all the way into the courtyard, he hid behind Su Yang'er and pointed to the open door and shouted, "Sister! Dog! Dog! ”

Yue Yun's voice fell, and suddenly he heard a sound of dogs barking in the narrow alley, and there seemed to be as many as five or six voices. The barking of the dog was getting closer and closer, and Su Yang'er and Yue Er's faces changed in unison, so they picked up Yue Yun and stared at the gate.

In the barking of the dog, there was a coquettish laugh: "Little doll, did you hurt my general and leave like this?" ”

Hearing only an "ah", Yue Yun called, "It was your dog who bit me first!" ”
