"If there is anything to do first, let's talk about it later, the dumplings will not taste good when they are cold, you eat first, and I will call other people to eat together!" Li Xiu said and took out a plate of dumplings from the food box and put it on Yang Nong's table, and then went out with the food box, and came to the hall outside to invite other people to eat together, although he didn't come often, but he was also familiar with the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, plus he invited guests to eat from time to time, so these people were also very welcome to Li Xiu, and as soon as Li Xiu's dumplings were taken out, they were robbed by these people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

These officials outside said a few jokes, Li Xiu came back to find Yang Nong, only to see that the old man was eating happily, with balsamic vinegar poured into the plate at hand, and the dumplings on the chopsticks rolled in it, and then stuffed the whole into his mouth and swallowed it, this appetite alone is not comparable to ordinary old men, no wonder he is over seventy years old and so energetic.

"How's it going, does it taste good?" Li Xiu walked in with a smile and spoke.

"It tastes good, mainly because the pork is getting fatter and fatter now, and it's full of fat in one bite, which is satisfying!" Yang Nong said very happily, don't look at him so old, but he is also a meatless lord, and he doesn't like the smell of mutton very much, and the beef is easy to eat, the pork used to be too unpalatable, but since he came here, he found that the local sterated pork is fat and tender, which is very suitable for his appetite.

"Who said the meat in the stuffing, I was asking how the dishes were inside?" Li Xiu continued to ask helplessly when he heard this, Yang Nong had also seen cabbage before, so he wanted to hear Yang Nong's evaluation of Chinese cabbage.

"Dish?" Yang Nong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said casually, "The dish is not bad, but when it comes to the matter of the dish, it just so happens that what I want to tell you is also about the dish, didn't you make a very huge Chinese cabbage, this matter Wei Xima has been reported to the imperial court, and His Majesty also attaches great importance to it, and wants to promote it as soon as possible, so I want to ask Li Saijiu for a favor, don't eat those cabbages for the time being, how about keeping them as seeds?" ”

"Huh?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard Yang Nong's words, and then said with some annoyance, "Wei Zheng, how can he be like this, the cabbage is from my family, I haven't said to sacrifice it, he actually made the decision for me, who gave him so much power?" ”

"Li Xianjiu, don't be too angry, you didn't know Wei Zheng on the first day, don't you know his temper?" Yang Nong also showed a wry smile to Li Xiu at this time, in fact, he only found out about this matter this morning, and Wei Zheng left after explaining it to him, and asked him to talk to Li Xiu about this matter, obviously pushing the problem to him, and he was also helpless when he encountered this kind of boss.

"%¥#¥#......" Li Xiu couldn't help but let out a series of curses that he didn't know what it meant, when he met a person like Wei Zheng, he had poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, and the cabbage he had worked so hard to grow was given to the court by Wei Zheng just after he started eating, and he liked to be generous to others.

"Li Xijiu, I took a look at those Chinese cabbages when I passed by yesterday, they are indeed very huge, one tree is enough for a few families for a day, and I heard that it can be stored for a long time in winter, if it is popularized, it is indeed a good thing for the benefit of the world, so you don't have to blame Wei Xima for not discussing it with you!"

Yang Nong hurriedly helped Wei Zheng to say good things at this time, in fact, he was also very annoyed with Wei Zheng, he lived for such an old age, and it was the first time he had met this kind of person, but there was no way, for the unity of the Ministry of Agriculture, he could only make peace between Li Xiu and Wei Zheng.

"Forget it, it's okay to offer the cabbage, anyway, this big dish was originally meant to be promoted, but everything has to be done according to me, he doesn't want to meddle in this matter!" Li Xiu said angrily again at this time, it is nothing to promote Chinese cabbage with the help of the Ministry of Agriculture, but Wei Zheng provoked him this time, so he would not let Wei Zheng interfere in this matter no matter what.

"No problem, the Chinese cabbage was originally made by you, you can do whatever you want, but the number of those Chinese cabbages is relatively small, I think it is better to keep them as seeds this year, so that you can grow more next year." Yang Nong readily agreed, and then carefully suggested.

"It's late, the dumplings you ate just now are filled with cabbage and pork." Li Xiu suddenly laughed at this time, and as a result, Yang Nong couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel sorry when he looked at the remaining dumplings, which made Li Xiu suddenly hope that Wei Zheng was also here, and then let him eat the dumplings and tell him that there was cabbage in them, and it was estimated that his expression at that time must have been more exciting.

"How much did you eat Li Xijiu, you won't chop all the cabbage, right?" Yang Nong's heart ached for a long time, and finally he finally reacted, and asked a question he was most concerned about at the moment.

"No, I just ate a few, those cabbages are the first batch of Chinese cabbage cultivated, of course I want to keep the seeds!" Li Xiu replied that in fact, he didn't plan to eat more, but out of nostalgia for his previous life, which is one of the reasons why he has a soft spot for dumplings.

"That's good! That's good! Yang Nong was also relieved when he heard this, and then he spoke again, "Since you don't want Wei Xima to interfere in the affairs of the Chinese cabbage, why don't I go and designate a few people to be managed by Li Xijiu, who is responsible for the affairs of the Chinese cabbage?" ”

"Huh? This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, just now he was also annoyed for a moment and said that he would not let Wei Zheng interfere, but if he was really asked to be in charge of the promotion, he would feel too troublesome.

"Hehe, Li Saijiu don't have to worry, most of the officials of our Ministry of Agriculture are capable people, I will appoint a few assistants for you, then you only need to explain the characteristics of Chinese cabbage to them, and then they will take care of the Chinese cabbage seeds, and other things don't need to worry about Li Saijiu!"

"Okay, then there is Lao Yang Shangshu!" As soon as he heard Yang Nong say this, Li Xiu immediately patted his chest and assured that as long as he didn't trouble him, and now he has a lot of trust in Yang Nong's words.

Seeing Li Xiu's promise, Yang Nong also showed an expression of flying eyebrows, and then ate the dumplings left behind by dividing them by two, and said a sentence of the same level as Qi Niang: "The taste is indeed good, similar to the little cabbage!" ”

Old man Yang is also a fiery personality now, as if he was infected by Wei Zheng, after eating, he ran to the hall to call a few subordinate officials to discuss the cabbage, Li Xiu sat in his room and waited, but after a while, he saw Yang Nong leading a young official with a shrewd face walking in.

"Li Xianjiu, this is Yang Dui Yang, I have discussed with them just now, and in the future, Yang will follow Li Xianjiu to be responsible for the Chinese cabbage!" Yang Nong said with a smile at this time, and this Yang Dui also immediately stepped forward to salute Li Xiu, but Li Xiu was very keen to find that this Yang Dui's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yang Nong.

"Director Yang doesn't need to be polite, and Director Yang will need to assist the official a lot in the future!" Li Xiu also hurriedly returned the salute at this time, and then looked at him and Yang Nong a little strangely, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the two of them looked a little similar.

"Hehe, Li Xianjiu, Yang Dui is my own nephew, his father is my youngest brother, but unfortunately he died in the war, and there is only such a single seedling left in his family, so I hope Li Xianjiu will take care of him!" Yang Nong probably also saw the doubts in Li Xiu's eyes, and immediately directly clarified the relationship between himself and Yang Dui.

"I see, no wonder Director Yang and Yang Shangshu are so similar in appearance." Li Xiu also immediately said with a relieved face when he heard this, if it wasn't for Yang Nong to say, he would even suspect that this Yang Dui was his son.

"Yes, I am a fellow mother of my younger brother, my appearance is very similar, and my younger brother's talent is far stronger than mine, but unfortunately the war of the year was too big, even if it was an official eunuch, it was difficult to protect himself, fortunately, Du'er was able to escape, and finally left a root for the younger brother's lineage, a few years ago the old man helped him marry a wife and have children, if I see the younger brother underground in the future, it can be regarded as an explanation for him!" Yang Nong was also quite emotional at this time, and it could be seen that the relationship between him and his younger brother was still very deep.

"Uncle, don't say such things, you are in good health, and your nephew will need you to teach you in the future!" Yang Dui also interjected at this time, the expression on his face was also very respectful, although he was Yang Nong's nephew, but he had been raised by Yang Nong as a son, and he was also promising, he entered the household department at a young age, and was later transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture by Yang Nong, with the reward of promoting corn and sweet potatoes, the future future is also unlimited, which also makes him more grateful to Yang Nong.

At that moment, Li Xiu chatted with Yang Nong, and felt that this guy who was not a few years older than himself was not only shrewd, but also very knowledgeable, and he was also very knowledgeable about the promotion, which made Li Xiu also very relieved, so he asked Yang Dui to take his subordinates to the vegetable field together, and explained to them some of the growth characteristics of Chinese cabbage, as well as the situation that needs to be paid attention to when planting seeds.

Yang Dui is worthy of being Yang Nong's nephew, and he is also very serious in his work, and his officials took pen and paper to record all Li Xiu's words, speaking of which Yang Dui's official position is very low, just a nine-grade principal, and those people under him cannot be regarded as real officials, but officials, not even grades, but if they perform well, they can still get official status and become officials, and this promotion is their opportunity, which also makes everyone work hard to seize this rare opportunity.

After finishing the business, Yang Dui's officials all ran to observe the growth of cabbage, as well as the situation of the land, and even recorded some pests above and below the ground, such as grasshoppers This thing likes to eat cabbage very much, in the past, Qi Niang and Xiaoya liked to come to the cabbage field to catch grasshoppers, and then skewered them into a skewer and roasted them, and the taste was still very good.

"Li Saijiu, I heard that this kind of cabbage can be stored for a winter, is it not bad if it is harvested like this, and put it at home?" Yang Dui is a studious young man, especially when he knows that Li Xiu has seen the dragon all day long, so he has to ask as soon as possible to seize the opportunity, otherwise he may not be able to find anyone next time.

"It's definitely not so hot now, in fact, cabbage is in the south where the weather is hot and humid, and it can be planted all year round, but it's different in our north, you can plant cabbage in spring, and then harvest it in summer, but this kind of cabbage can't be stored, but if it's cabbage planted after the summer harvest, wait until late autumn and then harvest, then this kind of cabbage can be stored for a winter, which needs to be achieved with the help of cold temperatures in winter." Li Xiu explained with a smile that he had a good impression of Yang Dui, not to mention Yang Nong's incense, so he also gave careful guidance to Yang Dui.

"I see, but just now Li Saijiu said that there will be a period of time for the cabbage to bear seeds, and then we harvest the seeds and then plant them, I'm afraid we won't be able to produce seeds in winter, right?" Yang Dui raised his worries again at this time, saying that he had already calculated the growth cycle of cabbage before, so he was a little worried at this time.

"That's true, but Princess Pingyang has a greenhouse over there, so I plan to plant cabbage in the greenhouse so that it can grow normally in winter, and these cabbages were cultivated in the greenhouse in the first place!" Li Xiu touched his chin and thought for a while, and finally spoke again.

"Greenhouse!" Yang Dui's eyes lit up significantly when he heard this, and then said to Li Xiu with a smile on his face, "Li Xijiu, I have long heard of the name of the greenhouse, and our Ministry of Agriculture has also surrounded a large piece of farmland, so do you see if we are also building a few greenhouses in our Ministry of Agriculture, it just so happens that the craftsmen are ready-made, and they will be built soon!" ”

Looking at Yang Dui's expectant look, Li Xiu couldn't bear to refuse, not to mention that the profit from greenhouse vegetables was nothing to the Princess Mansion, so even if the technology spread out, it would be nothing. Thinking of this, Li Xiu also nodded and said: "Okay, then you can mention this matter to Yang Shangshu, and then set aside a piece of land, and then I will ask a few craftsmen from the princess's mansion to guide the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to build it soon!" ”

"Great, thank you Li Saijiu!" Yang Dui heard Li Xiu's promise, and said excitedly at the moment that with a greenhouse, not only cabbage can be grown, but also corn and sweet potatoes can be planted, so that there will be nothing to do in winter.

Seeing Yang Dui's happy appearance, Li Xiu also laughed, he suddenly understood why Yang Nong arranged his nephew to his side, although he didn't take care of things, but as long as Yang Dui could dig something from him, such as the greenhouse just mentioned, then it would be Yang Dui's credit, and it would be easier to get ahead in the future.

Li Xiu looked at these officials who were busy in the cabbage field, and felt that he had nothing to do, so he said hello to Yang Dui and left, Yang Dui also knew that Li Xiu was a special person and was not bound by the Ministry of Agriculture at all, so he also sent him away with a smile.

But just as Li Xiu had just walked out, he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Boss Yang running over quickly, and after taking a few breaths, he looked at him with a twisted expression and said, "Master, that ...... There's something I'd like to discuss with you! (To be continued.) )
