The tail feathers are longer than those in other places, even if they are gray, they should be worthwhile, Chen Ping uprooted them without damage, and then put them away.

Liu boiled the water and brought it over, poured the blood water in the clay pot into the vegetable field by the wall, and the four mothers surrounded the pheasant to remove the feathers.

"Mother, where is Grandpa?" Chen Ping didn't see Grandpa when he came back, this is the idle moon, and the two ears of rice in the rice field at home will take more than ten days to harvest, and when he goes out, Grandpa let himself come back early and go to Xiatu Village, but no one is seen at this time.

It's strange, Grandpa is not a person who likes to hang out.

"The chief is here, and your grandfather went to the field in the north of the village with the chief to see the wheat." Liu turned the pheasant over and added some well water to the clay pot, "Your grandfather's mouth is not covered, and the wheat has just emerged, so he told the chief that if there is no harvest in winter, it will be a joke." ”

After soaking in hot water, the pores of the pheasant are loosened, and the feathers are entangled in one place.

"Captain?" said that he was going to go to Xia Tu Village with his grandfather, but he was thinking about it, and the lieutenant actually came by himself, Chen Ping pondered, "Could it be that the reward of Quyuan plough has come down?" ”

But I didn't find anything in the hall just now, and if there was really a reward, my mother wouldn't be silent.

"When are they coming back?" The pheasant exposed its meat, and there were a little too many small feathers inside, Chen Ping waved his hand in the warm water and scooped up the feathers in the water.

"Don't throw away the feather, just put it in the water, it's still useful." Liu said, the feathers are placed in the jacket, which is much warmer and lighter than the reed catkins, and the cotton is not needed, so it is good to accumulate some feathers.

Chen Ping put the feathers back again, gently swung the water, vacated, and cleared the pheasant, there was still some fluff on it, so you should look carefully.

"I've been out for a while, and I'll definitely come back later, and I'll eat this meal at my house." Liu wiped his hands and rolled up his sleeves for the little lady, "I'll get this pheasant, you go and make the beef." ”

"Okay." Chen Ping answered, went to the hall, took the beef from the wall hook, cut it in half, and there were more than a catty.

The seasoning was brought back from the last trip to the county, pepper, ginger, green onion, and garlic are a little, and if you want to make a good dish, these seasonings are indispensable.

There is no chili pepper, even the dogwood has not been seen, and there is too little seasoning in this era.

"It's a pity that I didn't remember the ingredients of the thirteen spices." Chen Ping is a little regretful, the thirteen incense seems to be prepared with traditional Chinese medicine, if you can remember it, it is estimated that it can be drummed out, it is another income.

It's just that there is definitely no beef, the pheasant plucked the feathers, removed the internal organs, washed and cut into pieces, and Liu picked some weeds and plucked the reeds.

While preparing here, Chen Xiaoyi walked in outside the courtyard gate, and the chief came to Dongxi to follow behind, still carrying a small jar in his hand.

"It's really fragrant, it seems that you are right, this kid not only has ideas for farming, but is also a good hand at cooking." Lai Dongxi smelled the fragrance and praised, "This wine is not wrong." ”

"Just wait." It took some time to stew beef, and Chen Ping looked at the clay pot in Lai Dongxi's hand, "This jar is filled with wine?" ”

"I heard your grandfather say that your dishes are doing well, especially the lotus root pork rib soup and stewed beef, I came here today just to try it." Coming to Dongxi can also cook, and I have drunk one or two glasses in the county restaurant, but it is the first time I have seen Chen Ping's beef practice, "The wine was bought from Chen Dezhi's house, and the mountain tiger was hidden deeply, but I still found it." ”

Chen Dezhi is Aunt Li's husband and opened a restaurant in the county, which is also the reason why his family is well-off, and he has three sons, this Chen Shanhu is his eldest son, and he can drink.

The last time Chen Yuanliang came, Chen Xiaoyi asked Aunt Li about the woad and cocoon white that he bought at home, and the cocoon was finished, but there was still some left.

"It was your idea to plant wheat in the field?" Sitting down, Lai Dongxi asked.

I just went to look down with Chen Xiaoyi, the green seedlings that walked were growing very gratifying, and no one in Baitu Village had ever planted wheat, which must be a good thing if it could really be done.

"Well, I see that everyone in the village is counting on two ears of rice. But the two-year-old amount of two-ear rice is not as good as the one-year yield of wheat, so I will plant wheat and try it, but I can't say whether it will succeed or not. Chen Ping lifted the lid of the pot, added some salt to the beef, and re-covered, and it would be ready in another two quarters of an hour.

The package ticket in front of the grandfather, but in front of the chief, Chen Ping still had reservations.

"That's not what your grandfather told me." Lai Dongxi smiled, and after a while, he said apologetically, "I reported the matter of Quyuan plough to the county, and the county has another layer to consider. ”

Chen Ping put down the spatula, walked over, and sat next to Lai Dongxi: "What do you consider?" ”

Lai Dongxi glanced at Chen Xiaoyi, the two of them just went out not only to see the wheat, Quyuan plough is such an important thing, although it is Chen Ping's idea, but Chen Xiaoyi is Lao Tzu after all, and he came to Dongxi to communicate with him first.

This is bad news, let Chen's father and Chen Ping say that what they are afraid of is that Chen Ping will make trouble.

"The county said that you are still young, and it is not easy to be convinced that this Quyuan plough report will annoy the current emperor. Therefore, the idea of this twisted plough is put on others, but the reward will not be less. This is all the rhetoric that came to Dongxi to discuss with Chen Xiaoyi, and it is also the county's reply.

Chen Ping thought that this reward would be in vain, but when he heard this, there was still a reward?

"Where's the reward?" As long as there is a reward, as for this idea, whoever likes it will let whoever takes it, a farm tool, no matter how famous it is, it is useless, there is no patent right in this era, Chen Ping cares about reality.

"Ahem...... Lai Dongxi was directly choked by Chen Ping, and said with a smile, "You just keep an eye on the reward, don't worry, the county said that it was waiting for Quyuan to report to the state, and it will be given to you after there is a reply." ”

That's a blank check.

"I don't know who the county plans to give this idea to the plow?" Chen Ping asked.

"It's Master Xue." Lai Dongxi said, he asked this clearly.

"Xue Xiong?" Chen Ping's brows furrowed, "Xue Xiong from Shangtu Village? ”

There are ghosts in this, judging from the information Chen Yuanliang obtained, this Xue Xiongjue is not a good bird. The person who can fight with the county lieutenant can at least be called a township tyrant, where is the county's idea, this is his Xue Xiong's idea.

"Do you know Master Xue? Don't worry, Master Xue has quite a lot of property in his family, and he is a county official, so you must be indispensable for your reward, which is a lot more than my silk. "Come to Dongxi.

The stewed beef was almost cooked, Chen Ping brought it up, then fried the cabbage, made a winter melon egg soup, and put it on the table.

"This beef is good, much stronger than Chen Dezhi." Lai Dongxi picked up a piece of beef, chewed it twice, and was full of praise, "If you open a restaurant in the county, then Chen Dezhi will have to come back to farming." ”

Chen Ping took two empty bowls and poured wine for Lai Dongxi and Grandpa. This wine is rice wine, and when it was taken from Aunt Li's house, it should have been pressed, and it was quite clear.

Lai Dongxi picked up the wine, took a sip, smacked his mouth, and sandwiched another piece of beef, very satisfied.

On the side, Chen An and the little lady Chen Zhen looked at it with wide eyes, and even Chen Ping looked at it from time to time, this is an ancient wine, and I haven't tasted it yet.

"What, want to drink?" Lai Dongxi smiled, "You two are still young, drinking too much of this wine hurts your body, Chen Ping can come and taste it." ”

"Holo." Chen Pingzheng had this intention and was about to go to the bowl, but suddenly stopped and looked at Chen's father and Liu.
