It was almost noon, and the preparations were almost done, Zhang Bin roughly estimated the progress, and simply ordered everyone to go home for dinner, and start work again in the afternoon.

The ordinary people who were working naturally went back happily, but Li Zheng Zhao Yan stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Lord County Commander, why don't you go to the villain's house for dinner?" ”

Zhang Bin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's eat here, the official wants to see what ordinary people eat at home." ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, his face changed, what are you kidding, the county ordered the adults to go to Dongmen Mountain to eat coarse tea and light rice, he can't afford to lose this face.

He thought about it, and simply begged to live: "Lord County Order, you see that the pigs in the villain's house have also been killed, and the chickens have also been slaughtered, it is estimated that this will be almost cooked, do you want to eat it, isn't it a waste?" Otherwise, I'll have them sent here, can you? ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, then send two tables over, how much is it, wait for the official to let Master Wu give it to you." ”

This!

When Zhao Yan heard this, he was dumbfounded, does the county order still have to give money for dinner? I've never heard of it!

Seeing this, Zhao Mu on the side hurriedly said: "Lord County Order, even if the villain treats him, I haven't thanked you for buying the land last time, this time, you can give the villain this opportunity." ”

The last time I bought land, it wasn't that Zhao Mu didn't thank Zhang Bin, Zhao Mu directly sealed him with a hundred taels of silver, and he didn't want it.

Naturally, he won't accept this money, the reason why his family gave him money upside down is to let him not have a little stain, so that there will be no variables when he is promoted, and accepting Zhao Mu's money is not equivalent to taking bribes, how can he accept it!

But this time it's different, eating or something can't be regarded as bribery, even Xu Hui invited him to eat, and Zhao Mu invited him to refuse.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Zhang Bin could only nod helplessly: "Then thank you Zhao Yuanwai." ”

When Zhao Mu heard this, his face immediately smiled like a flower, like that, not to mention how happy he was.

This person, sometimes if you don't let people spend money on treats, you don't give people face, Zhang Bin shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and walked towards Chen Yingying's house.

At this time, Chen Zhi and Chen Yingying, brother and sister, are having a headache, and they see that it is about to be dinner, but the county magistrate has no intention of going back, is it to eat at their house?

It's not that they are reluctant to give up this bit of rice, the problem is that in addition to rice, there are pickles left in his house, so what can he do to entertain the county magistrate?

As soon as Zhang Bin walked in, he saw their embarrassed looks, and of course he understood what they were for.

It seems that he is a little bored, knowing that everyone still wants to eat here, isn't it embarrassing?

He smiled awkwardly, then hugged Chen Xiuxiu in Chen Yingying's arms, and said funny: "Xiuxiu, will we eat meat in a while?" ”

When Chen Xiuxiu heard this, her eyes lit up and said, "Competition? Eat meat! What meat? ”

Zhang Bin pretended to be naïve and said: "Pork, chicken, do Xiuxiu dare to compare with me?" ”

Chen Xiuxiu wiped her saliva, nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I'll compare with you." ”

Chen Zhi said embarrassedly: "This, Lord County Commander, I'm really sorry, our family has no meat!" ”

Zhang Bin smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, someone will naturally send it later." ”

After that, he shoved Chen Xiuxiu into Chen Yingying's arms, turned around and walked into his room, and went to make a record, leaving only the three brothers and sisters to swallow saliva and meat there vigorously, they rarely eat it once a year!

Zhao Yan is not lying, pig, he let people kill him in the morning, the meal, he has already ordered someone to prepare, Zhang Bin has not finished recording what he did in the morning, he and Zhao Mu led a few family members over with food.

In Zhang Bin's opinion, the dishes sent over can only be regarded as average, just sauce elbows, stewed pork ribs, fried pork, fried chicken, etc., and there are no particularly good dishes, but the three Chen Zhi brothers and sisters are about to salivate when they look at it.

They had eaten meat a few times, but that was at most a small bowl for the whole family, and where it was like this, each dish was full of bowls.

It's still a bit particular about eating at this time, Zhang Cha and the eight of them don't need to say anything, they just carried the original low table and small bench to eat outside the house, and those who can stay inside to accompany Zhang Bin to eat seem to be Xie Zhenggang and Wu Shiqi barely qualified.

Zhao Mu wanted to accompany Zhang Bin to have a few drinks, but Zhang Bin sent him away directly, he still had to work and make records this afternoon, but he couldn't drink, he could only promise to drink with Zhao Mu in the evening.

Everyone sat down, but the three Chen Zhi brothers and sisters were embarrassed, of course they were not qualified to eat with Zhang Bin, the problem was that the small table outside where four people were crowded was already surrounded by eight people, and they were embarrassed to squeeze in.

Zhang Bin didn't care so much, he directly snatched Chen Xiuxiu in Chen Yingying's arms, and said undoubtedly: "You are the host here, you have to sit down and eat with the guests." ”

After that, he sat down directly, put Chen Xiuxiu on his lap, and was ready to eat.

What he said made some sense, Chen Zhimian reluctantly sat down, which was regarded as accompanying him as a guest, but Chen Yingying refused to sit alive or dead.

Zhang Bin couldn't resist her, so he could only let her stand aside and eat.

This meal, but the three brothers and sisters can eat beautifully, the meat tube is enough, they really haven't tried it, Zhang Bin was even surprised to find that Chen Xiuxiu, a five or six-year-old girl, can eat better than him!

Well, eating meat isn't the point, growing potatoes and sweet potatoes is.

After eating, Zhang Bin went into the house again to finish the record, and it was almost time.

In the afternoon, the main focus is on sowing, that is, planting the cut potatoes and sweet potato chunks.

Zhang Bin directly asked people to spread straw inside the bamboo basket, and then put the processed potato pieces and sweet potato pieces on a neat layer, then spread a layer of straw, put another layer, put them in turn, and then carry them to the open soil trough.

The next step is to sow seeds, this sowing is not complicated, sweet potatoes are directly inserted into the cow dung at a certain interval, and then covered with a thin layer of soil.

Potatoes are simpler, just place them on top of the sand at a certain interval, and then cover with a layer of fine sand.

After doing all this, Zhang Bin ordered someone to pour some water on it to keep the soil and fine sand at the right humidity, and the sowing was almost complete.

Finally, and the most important thing, that is insulation.

It's still early spring, and the temperature is just right during the day when there is sun, but not at night, and if you don't do something to keep the temperature, the seeds in the soil will freeze to death.

In the previous life, Zhang Bin used plastic film, and the thermal insulation effect was naturally so good that it was not good, but the problem was that the Ming Dynasty didn't even have plastic, where did the plastic film come from?

There was a natural reason why he asked people to pick up 100 loads of straw at the beginning, and it took less than 20 loads to make plant ash, and the rest was covered with potatoes and sweet potato seedlings for insulation.
