This kohlrabi has been stewed in the soup for a long time, but it still feels very crispy, and the beef soup has a strong taste, so it tastes particularly fragrant.

"How many turnips like this have you planted?" Lin Bei asked.

"In previous years, it was not a few." Cui Lan replied: "But there hasn't been much rain in the sky in the past few years, and the turnips are very drafty, so this year they planted less. ”

Kohlrabi is just a dish in modern times, but in ancient times it was both a dish and a staple food, and sometimes it was used as a drink, and a bite when you were thirsty was considered a saliva.

"Are there any other vegetables in the field besides turnips?"

"My lord, there are mustard greens, it's already winter, and the mustard greens are about to be picked, and when the spring starts next year, if God can be kind and rain some rain, we have to sow rice, green barley, soybeans, sorghum, and courgette, and then adults can go and have a look." Cui Lan is very good at farming.

Other Lin Bei knows that mustard greens are cabbage, as for what is courgette? Modern courgettes are certainly a little different from ancient ones, and modern courgettes are cucumbers.

Bian Ji explained: "My lord, this courgette is a foreign variety brought back by Lord Zhang Qian when he went to Xisai in the pre-Han Dynasty, the color is green and thorny, the food is crisp and sweet, and now there are several varieties, and a lot of them will be transported to Luoyang every year, and it is said that even today's son likes this thing very much." ”

When Lin Bei heard it, it was still a cucumber, and the cucumber was indeed native to the Himalayas, and Zhang Qian brought it back by the way when he went to Xisai.

Speaking of which, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions is really a great merit, not only opened up the Silk Road, but also allowed the closed Western Han Dynasty to carry out exchanges with Asian countries, and it is precisely because of this that China was considered by these countries to be the center of Asia for more than a thousand years in the future.

Thinking about the great achievements of his predecessors, Lin Bei's heart swelled with pride, he may be doing the same thing now, maybe hundreds of years later, Lin Bei can also leave a strong mark in the history books.

While thinking about it, Lin Bei ate a lot of food, the beef in the cauldron was quickly eaten, Lin Bei was also full, Cui Lan saw that Lin Bei finished eating, and quickly cleaned up the pots and pans, while Lin Bei and Bian Ji didn't have to do anything, they were all there looking at the moon.

"Tomorrow is going to be a good day." Bian Ji sighed: "Why isn't it raining yet?" ”

Lin Bei remembered something: "By the way, isn't there a river near Xishan Township?" ”

"That's right, my lord, it's the Spring River." Cui Lan said on the side, "But there is no water left, and we can't even spare water to wash clothes." ”

"What about Dongshan Township? Are they still holding back the water? ”

As soon as she heard about Dongshan Township, Cui Lan became angry: "Of course it's in the way, but they don't have water over there, so they invited several feng shui gentlemen and drilled a few wells, but none of the wells have ever come out." Then he smiled and said, "I surprised the adults." ”

Lin Bei can only hehe, in this way, he really has to thank Dongshan Township for his actions, otherwise maybe Lin Bei will have to suffocate underground.

"Oh, sir." Cui Lan said again: "A few days ago, I heard a strange thing in Dongshan Township. ”

"What's weird?"

"Or related to the Chunshui River, Dongshan Township people said that there is a water monster in the Chunshui River, bitten to death a pulp wash woman, even the body is gone, was dragged into the water, must have been eaten, because of this, the pavilion chief of Dongshan Township also invited a number of goddesses and gods, those gods and goddesses said that the dragon king was angry, and wanted Dongshan Township to prepare a boy, and then Xu Datou took a few rangers into the water, saying that he would meet the monster for a while, but he didn't find the monster, my lord, do you know the monster?"

"Huh?" Lin Bei was speechless.

Cui Lan thought that Lin Bei knew it, so she hurriedly said: "If you know, just tell that monster not to eat people, and the people of Dongshan Township are also pitiful." ”

Lin Bei smiled bitterly, he knew a yarn.

Bian Ji also looked at Lin Bei: "Do you really know each other?" ”

Lin Bei was speechless again, and quickly shook his head: "I don't know other monsters, and the monsters in the Chunshui River are not monsters." ”

"Why do you say that?"

If it was before, Bian Ji must not believe in this monster, but there is a 'monster' in front of him, this is after seeing a ghost with a person, he will be sure that there are really ghosts in the world in the future, in fact, Bian Ji also heard about this news, but Bian Ji never asked Lin Bei, he thought in his heart Could it be that Lin Bei was more angry with the people of Dongshan Township, so let other monsters eat the people of Dongshan Township, but at this time, Bian Ji also began to confirm, if it was really Lin Bei looking for monsters to do, Bian Ji estimated that he could only rejoice and want to fight with monsters? After seeing how powerful Lin Bei was, Bian Ji really didn't have that mind.

Lin Beixian didn't answer Bian Ji's words, but asked, "You first tell me about the situation of the Chunshui River in Dongshan Township." ”

This Cui Lan knows better.

Under Cui Lan's narration, Lin Bei was clear about the topography of the Chunshui River.

The Chunshui River flows through Dongshan Township, the river is not too big, the river surface is only about 20 meters wide when the water is most abundant, but now there is a big drought year after year, so the river water is getting less and less, and now it has become a swamp area, the people of Dongshan Township have built a dam nearby, and built it up with wood and stone, only a few small outlets remain.

This year's drought is getting more and more severe, and now the riverbed of the Chunshui River is about to dry up and crack, but because of the previous water storage, there is a water pool about dozens of meters wide in the dam, and the water of the people of Dongshan Township is mainly in that area, washing water clothes, feeding the animals are also there, and the mud of this waterhole has been dug out a lot, this is to increase the depth, and the water monster is hiding in this waterhole.

Because Cui Lan couldn't tell what the water monster looked like, after all, the number of crimes of the water monster was too small, so Lin Bei could only guess that it was a big fish, and it should be more aggressive, such as a fish like a black fish, it may be hungry, it may be disturbed, so it will bite, and it may even be a water snake, if it is a monster, Lin Bei is naturally ten thousand unbelievers.

Lin Bei immediately said his guess, and then said: "The water of the Chunshui River lasts for a long time, and some fish will grow very big, but now the river is dry and food is scarce, so they will attack people." ”

"Even if it's a big fish, it's a monster, a fish demon." Cui Lan said very seriously.

Lin Bei was speechless, the big fish is a fish demon? According to this logic, there are simply as many fish demons in the sea.

"My lord, why don't you go to Dongshan Township and subdue that fish demon?" Bian Ji seemed to insist that it was a fish demon.

"I'll check it out when I have time." Lin Bei was really helpless, and at the same time, Lin Bei decided to take Cui Lan and Bian Ji to the sea if he had time, so that they could take a look at the 'fish demon' in the sea, and the blue whale dozens of meters long estimated to scare them to death.

PS: I went out to eat and only came back now, so I've kept everyone waiting.
