Most of the stewards who came to Huangzhou this time were elites in their families, and many of them were born from miscellaneous laborers, and they still knew a lot about the identification of grains and grains and the basic situation of agricultural production, although they had heard of this way of raising fish with livestock manure for the first time, but they also understood that the bran, bean grains and forage mixed with chickens, ducks and pig manure could also be used to feed the fish, so it was not difficult to understand.

As for young ladies like Zheng Yue'e, let alone farming, I'm afraid that the rice and grain she eats will also make people pick up and pick up the grain, how can anyone tell her that the grain is made of dung as fertilizer?

Only said that after Huang Jie laughed, he led people to the pig house to check first, only to see that the skeleton of the whole pig house is solid wood beams and columns, but the walls are all mats, and I saw the west side in the distance before.

Inside, this wooden house is more like a big house, the ground is paved hard and clean with triple soil, the pigs are separated separately with a wooden fence in the house, and after approaching, only a slight pig smell is smelled, look at those hairy pigs are clean, and there are no mosquitoes and flies, everyone can't help but be amazed.

Huang Jie also introduced: "You have also seen, my family's pig raising method is different from others, my pigs in addition to half a day a day to ventilate, but also need to be cleaned every day, regular and quantitative unified feeding, mosquito repellent and insect removal, if the weather is too hot, will also be sprinkled with them to cool down." ”

As he was talking, a peasant came with a large pot made of iron sheets, and saw that the spout of the pot was holding a round head of iron sheets, and when he saw that he was tilting the pot over the hairy pig lying on the ground, dozens of water lines spilled out of the pot, and the pig that was drenched in water also hummed comfortably and turned over, so that the water was sprinkled more evenly.

A steward who was close to him saw the kettle interesting, and took it and played with it himself, before asking, "Why don't you see the trough?" ”

Huang Jie said: "As I said, regular and quantitative feeding, today's regulation is six meals a day. Foreman Yu, it's almost noon now, but it's time to have dinner? ”

The rest of the foreman nodded in agreement, and asked everyone to make way to wait, and then commanded the three workers to get busy, only to see that the three of them quickly pushed a four-wheeled long wooden cart, and there were large wooden barrels on the car containing pasty pig food, and the workers held bucket-shaped food boxes, and each time they walked through a pig pen, they reported a name such as first class and second class, and then put the pig food into the food box and pig food.

Everyone saw that this so-called regular ration was not to pour pig food into the trough for the pigs to eat, but it was also an eye-opener, and some curious stewards also came up to check the pig food, and even saw some clues: "It's also soybean meal, distiller's lees and bran, but these yellow-green ones, but they are green grass?" ”

Huang Jie shook his head and smiled: "That yellow-green one is sheep dung!" Sheep eat grass, the output of the dung ball is also more than the grass stalk that has not been decayed, the original pig and sheep mixed breeding found that the pig likes to eat sheep manure, and then it will also make people collect and pig food together with the cooking, carefully calculate it can also save a lot of materials. ”

"Gross!"

After Huang Jie said this, he retched again, turned his head and saw that it was still Zheng Yue'e, thinking that he had just been disgusted and followed, and now he listened to the pig manure feeding the fish, and the sheep manure feeding the pigs, so he still couldn't help it.

This joke is okay to see it once, and the second time I was embarrassed to laugh again, so Huang Jie led everyone to take a look at the chicken and duck house at will, and roughly explained the layered feeding of the chicken and duck house, and what space utilization, as well as what feather and poultry disease control, egg production control, pig and sheep manure recycling and other strange truths also said a lot, and then led people to Wanjia Zhuangzi.

It's the middle of the day, and it's time for lunch.

It's already July now, but the Huainan generation is still a hot area, although there is no sun on the way to visit, but everyone is still sweating, how can there be any appetite to eat and drink, so Huang Jie has long been prepared for this. First of all, it is to prepare cold well water and everyone to wash, but also to prepare a large number of ice fish roe and filled sour plum soup, when everyone washes out, then open the can on the spot to add ice fish, shake the jar at will a few times to have a cool and sweet sour plum soup into the throat, and suddenly the heat gradually disappears.

Then Huang Jie led everyone to the courtyard, only to see that at this time the courtyard was pulled up with a black cloth rope woven into a large net to block the sun, although there are still spots of sunlight sprinkled, but standing under the net can only feel a slight heat, not as hot as direct sunlight, and the courtyard is full of all kinds of delicacies with a long table, there are no less than hundreds of flavors.

But everyone saw that although the courtyard was large, there was no table for dining, only under the eaves and a few pergolas around the laying of mats, just when they didn't know how to enter the table to eat, or Huang Jie high-fived and said: "You are guests from afar, lest you be inconsiderate." Therefore, today's meal system follows the ancient style of not setting up a table, and you can take it yourself, and you can do it as you like. ”

Saying that, Huang Jie picked up a lacquerware dinner plate placed on the dining table, there were several vertical and horizontal lines in the dinner plate, and divided the plate into six blocks, among which a pair of bamboo chopsticks, a silver spoon, and a silk scarf folded into a flower were placed in a rectangular small piece on the right hand, and then he watched Huang Jie take the dinner plate and wander around the dining table, from time to time using the small clips in the dish plate to get some food to his plate.

With him as a demonstration, everyone was not stupid, so they did the same, and soon they also started to move. It's just that the four female guests who came to the family were standing in a corner, watching coldly, Huang Jie also knew that it was a little inappropriate to force women with status like them to eat with men, so he also got up and invited them into the pergola to rest, and asked the subordinates to arrange a small case, but the food still needs to go to the long table to pick it up.

Just when a few female guests asked their maids to take the food, Zou Rong, the housekeeper of the Zou family in Jiangnan, took the opportunity to talk to Huang Jie and said: "Before March, my father's old friend brought a can of Dongpo meat from Tokyo, and my father was full of praise after tasting it. How do you know that half a month ago, Huang Xiucai asked someone to come to pass the letter, at first my father didn't believe it, but the canned meat sent tasted the same, and the old body was also bold, and came in person. ”

Huang Jie listened and smiled modestly, but he still deliberately said: "I don't dare to call me a talent in front of my wife, my father-in-law said before leaving, saying that my wife is the same generation as my father-in-law, if my wife doesn't give up, just call me a big man." ”

Zou Rongnai is the eldest daughter of the Zou family's grandfather, but she is still a widow in her forties, and she is also Huang Jie's elder, so she naturally doesn't dare to listen to her name Xiucai. As mentioned above, the Song Dynasty's title customs are complicated, and the relatives are different, and it is difficult to wait for a detailed table, only to say that at this time Huang Jie is the first person in the county test with a meritorious name, so the first optional title for others to call him is to respect Huang Xiucai, and those who are closer can call him Huang Jie Huang Ziying or Huang Dalang.
