Under the leadership of Xie Ao, the villagers were in high spirits and dug canals all over the fields. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After six or seven days of exposure, the ground in the rice fields cracked. Rice is growing well, the stalks are getting thicker and stronger, and the root system is becoming more and more developed. This exposure to the sun is very important for the lodging resistance of rice and the improvement of seed setting rate.

When the water is returned to the rice fields, the cracked earth greedily absorbs the water, just as a baby greedily absorbs breast milk. Xie Ao seemed to see the seedlings in the field waving to him, twisting Yangge happily. Looking at the gratifying growth of rice, he also went back beautifully.

On the other hand, in Wang Mazi's paddy field, the seedlings were sick and listless, as if a gust of wind could blow them all down. In addition to the small rhizomes of the seedlings, due to too much water injection and strong light exposure, his paddy field seems to have "rice blast".

Seven days later, Wang Mazi limped out of the cell. When he came to his paddy field to see, his heart was cold, and he wanted to die. He really didn't know why, he desperately grabbed water, but the rice grew worse, and he didn't know how much he would reduce the yield this year, and his leg was broken in vain.

He thought about it carefully, it was Xie Ao's kid who put the water to him, and this account had to be credited to that kid's head. Looking back, I don't clean him up, I don't know how thick the sky is.

"Yawn~Yawn~" Xie Ao sneezed twice in a row, who is thinking about me?! Of course, he didn't know that it was Wang Mazi who was cursing him behind his back. Just as he was muttering, an uncle walked in at the door, holding a semicircle in his arms, covered with a red cloth.

Xie Ao fixed his eyes, "It turned out to be the Huang shopkeeper of Huang Ji's blacksmith shop, I haven't seen him for a few days, how did he become so mysterious?" Are you pregnant? ”

"Gongzi Xie, don't make fun of me." The shopkeeper carefully put the contents of his arms on the ground, and then uncovered the red cloth covering it.

"Pot, iron pot, it's ready so quickly?" Xie Ao's eyes flashed brightly.

"After listening to Childe's quenching method that day, I was itching. According to Childe's instructions, I prepared all those materials, and the result was really as Childe expected, and the iron tools that were beaten out really have nothing to say. I couldn't wait to hit a knife first, and then asked someone to go to the Zhang Ji blacksmith shop and buy a knife, and cut each other in pairs, but my knife was unscathed, but the knife in the Zhang Ji blacksmith shop became two pieces. ”

"I didn't fool you! Did you reply this time? ”

"Of course, thanks to Childe's trust, of course I have to take care of what Childe ordered, after several attempts, I finally hit this pot, Childe, are you still satisfied?"

Xie Ao carefully looked at the pot, the surface was smooth and the thickness was moderate. Although it can't be compared with the current stainless steel pot, it is excellent with the existing productivity. Xie Ao was excited, "Just stay today, and I'll let you see what the world's delicacy is." ”

"Childe comes from a famous family, do you want to cook yourself? Is this unacceptable? There is no blessing to suffer! ”

"It's okay."

"Who's going to cook for themselves?" A personable young man walked in.

"It turned out to be Erlang? What are you doing here? Xie Ao asked. This young man is Wang Zicong, whom Xie Ao met in Suzhou that day.

"Xie Shaoxia, your letter has been received, how can I not come, but there was some delay on the way. By the way, what did you do to that Xiangyue girl that day? provoked her to be furious. ”

"Heaven and earth conscience, I haven't done anything! It's a long story, and I'll tell you more about it later. It just so happens that the shopkeeper Huang is also here, and I will introduce you two. ”

Xie Ao gestured to the right with his arm, "This is the Huang shopkeeper of the Huang Ji Blacksmith Shop, because the iron ore is monopolized by the people of the Zhang Ji Blacksmith Shop, so I want to find you to think of a way." ”

"Monopoly? Xie Shaoxia, what does this mean? ”

"It's just controlled by them."

"I see, this must be the yellow shopkeeper! I am Wang Zicong, the second son of Wang Guohao, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, known as Wang Erlang, and I am very happy to meet you. ”

The shopkeeper Huang said: "Fortunately, fortunately." I don't know if Wang Gongzi can solve the problem of iron ore, and now this is almost a piece of my heart. ”

"I'm here, there's nothing else I can't solve, let's talk while eating. Didn't someone just say they wanted to stir-fry? ”

"You're not polite at all?"

Wang Zicong pouted and said, "What is there to be polite to you, as the saying goes, 'once born, two times ripe', let's call each other brothers in the future!" As for me, how old are you, you can call me Brother Wang in the future. ”

Xie Ao said disdainfully: "Are you lying to the ghost? How old do you need to be? I saw your cover letter in Miss Xiangyue's boudoir that day, oops~ That meat is numb, and even the eight characters of birth are used. ”

At this time, Wang Zicong was a little shy, "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you're the eldest brother, right?" But you are not allowed to rob Xiangyue with me, otherwise my brother will have to do it. ”

"Xiangyue isn't my thing?"

"What's not a dish? Hurry up and stir-fry! By the way, is Uncle at home? I'm going to pay a visit. ”

"He went to the temple today and will be back later. You and Shopkeeper Huang have a good chat, and I'll fry a few side dishes for you. Xiaoqian, you come to give me a hand. ”

"I said, Brother Xie, your family's huge courtyard, why is there only one slave and maid, and there is not even a doorman? Where is this like a word, I'll send you a few when I go back! ”

"Zicong is bothered, let's talk about this later."

Xie Ao came to the kitchen and began to be busy. Xiao Qian added firewood on the side, and Xie Ao saw that her whole person was about to become a black-faced cat. When the sweet and sour pork ribs were about to be fried, Xie Ao gently picked up a small piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks, and then greeted Xiao Qian with his hand.

"Xiaoqian, come over and help me taste the taste."

At first, Xiaoqian was still a little squirming, and she couldn't say anything.

"Hurry up, come here. Open your mouth and be careful of scalding. Under Xie Ao's strong request, Xiao Qian had to taste a few bites.

When her tongue touched the sweet and sour pork ribs, in an instant, Xiaoqian felt that her tongue didn't look like her own tongue. For as long as she can remember, Xiaoqian has never eaten such a delicious thing. Eating and eating, Xiaoqian's eyes were full of tears.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about? It was a black-faced cat just now, but now it's a flower-faced cat. ”

Xiao Qian burst into tears and laughed, "Who is crying, it's just that his eyes are smoked." The reason why Xiao Qian shed tears, in addition to the delicious dishes fried by Xie Ao, Xiao Qian was even more moved by Xie Ao's attitude towards him. She found that Xie Ao didn't have so many shelves now, and she was closer to her than before, and no one had treated her so well since she was a child, except for A-Niang.

Xie Ao was so busy in the kitchen that the people outside couldn't do it.

In the Xue Mansion, which was separated by a wall from the Xie Mansion, at this time, Xue Feiyan was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. Suddenly, a burst of aroma wafted from afar. That's really called a fragrant, she had no intention of practicing the sword, and followed the fragrance to the door of Xie Mansion.

Isn't this Xie Ao's mansion, since you're here, let's go in and have a look. "Xie Ao, Xie Ao, are you at home?" When she walked into the house, she saw a table of people preparing a meal in the courtyard. That's where the scent comes from.

"It turned out to be Miss Xue, please come in, we are preparing to eat, it is better to come early than to come together, right?"

Xue Feiyan stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed, and when she saw the table full of dishes, she didn't care about anything. I saw vinegared pork ribs, braised carp, scrambled eggs with green onions, fish-flavored eggplant, and a bowl of amaranth soup on the table. The dishes are bright in color and fragrant. Xue Feiyan really couldn't resist the temptation, she used chopsticks to sandwich a piece of scrambled eggs with green onions, which was tender and soft, and tasted excellent.

Xue Feiyan opened his mouth and said, "Xie Ao, I will come to your house every day to eat in the future." What are you all doing in a daze? Hurry up and move your chopsticks. After listening to Xue Feiyan's words, Xie Ao's face was full of black lines.

Wang Zicong put a piece of braised fish in his mouth, and saw that he was eating with relish, and said, "Brother Xie, your cooking skills have surpassed my cooking." ”

The shopkeeper Huang tasted a bite of sweet and sour pork ribs, and didn't say anything, just buried his head in eating it, for fear that others would rob it.

Seeing that they didn't eat for long, they swept away the dishes on the table, and there were only empty plates left on the table. Xie Ao hurriedly shouted, "You bandits, leave me a little." ”

After eliminating the dishes, Xue Feiyan wiped her lips with her hands and said, "I'll come back tomorrow." Then he patted his ass and walked away. Wang Zicong burped and said, "Brother Xie, you are really amazing, how did you make such a delicious dish?" Tell me what tricks I have. ”

Although he hadn't eaten the food yet, Xie Ao was already angry at this time. "One of the secret weapons is the yellow shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Huang was pouring the remaining soup from the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs into the bowl, and when he heard Xie Ao say that he was a secret weapon, he said with a surprised face, "What? How did I become a secret weapon? ”

"It's the pot you gave me, because the processing time of stir-frying in an iron pot is short, and the fuel consumption is less, which can make the dishes lose less moisture, and at the same time have a fragrant aroma."

According to historical records, at the latest in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, stir-fried cooking appeared in China, but stir-fried cooking was not popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it cannot be compared with steaming, boiling and other cooking methods. There were also very few dishes named with the word "stir-fried" in the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the Song Dynasty that stir-fried cooking gradually became popular and became one of the most common cooking methods in the Song Dynasty. There are a large number of dishes named after the word "fried" in the restaurant, such as scrambled eggs, raw fried lungs, fried clams, fried large intestines, etc. Therefore, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, the first time they eat stir-fried food, they will feel that there is a different flavor.

The shopkeeper Huang woke up from a dream at this time, it turned out to be an iron pot made by himself, and his face showed pride.

Wang Zicong hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Huang, do you still have an iron pot?" Give me ten bites first! ”

Happiness came too suddenly, and Shopkeeper Huang stammered a little when he spoke. "This pot...... Don't...... It's cheap! My ...... Iron ore is also ...... Not enough. ”

Wang Zicong said: "The price is easy to say, then let's go to your blacksmith shop to discuss the matter of the iron pot and iron ore, right?" ”

Looking at the backs of the two of them hooking their shoulders and going away, Xie Ao thought in his heart, it turned out that this Wang Zicong was "uncle control", and the two hooked up so quickly. In fact, Xie Ao wanted to say that he still had a secret weapon. It's just that it's not time yet, and they'll find out after a while.

After sending them away, Xie Ao seemed to see a sneaky figure at the door. When he got closer, a tattered boy was standing in the doorway with a basket, which was clearly the thief that day.

Xie Ao opened his mouth and said, "Sanbao, why are you here?" Come on in. ”

"My mother is well, she asked me to thank you." After saying this, Sambo put the basket on the ground and prepared to slip away.

"Wait, you take this basket back, you and your aunt need to replenish their bodies." At this time, Xie Ao seemed to hear the sound of Sanbao's stomach gurgling. "Haven't eaten yet?"

Sambo lowered his head, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. In fact, he came a long time ago, and he was embarrassed to come out behind the door all the time, and he didn't come out until everyone left.

"I didn't eat the fried dishes just now, you wait for me to fry two side dishes, let's eat together." After the meal was served, Sanbao swallowed his saliva, but he didn't move his chopsticks, he just looked at Xie Ao with blank eyes.

"Eat, why don't you eat?"

At this time, Sambo mustered up the courage to say, "Is your family short of miscellaneous servants?" I can do anything. I want A-Niang not to have such a hard time. ”

"There is no shortage of miscellaneous servants in my family." At this time, Sanbao was like a deflated ball, burying his head lower.

"But my family is short of a scholar, I don't know what you think?"

The Three Treasures instantly resurrected with full blood, their bodies straight, and their dark eyes shining with fine light. He picked up the chopsticks and devoured the rice in his mouth, with a happy smile on his face......
