Section 148 Tang Corn [First Update]
[Quietly ask for a monthly pass, happy weekend!] 】
This is immortal food, at least that's what people in Datang call it when they know about it.
Li Yuanxing asked Li to randomly select fifty-four corn plants in the field, cut off the connecting rod and take it out. Then he cut two plants on the edge of the ground, and held four corn cobs in his hands: "Boiled with water!" ”
A few steps forward, a shed was built on the ground, and it was very clean. This is the preparation of haode in advance.
Li Yuanxing and Wang Jishan came to the shed and sat down, and some guards offered tea and retreated aside.
There is a coal stove here, Wang Jishan carefully observed, this thing is different from what Wang Yuyan described when he came back. This is a pottery stove, not like that of a barrel shape, this is a square one.
"This thing was newly designed by the craftsman." Li Yuanxing tore off the outer husk of the corn with his own hands, leaving the innermost two layers of tender husks and threw them in the iron pot. The two guards lifted the pot under Li Yuanxing's signal, and Li Yuanxing said again: "This is a three-layer one, and the innermost layer is a furnace tile, which is fire-resistant." ”
Wang Jishan nodded, he saw the open flame, and the red hearth.
"Then the second layer is the earthenware hearth, and there is about an inch of dirt between it and the first layer. Use as much heat as possible to ensure that the heat of the furnace is burned on the pan and not wasted. ”
Wang Jishan nodded again: "This thing is very good!" ”
"There's another layer that's square, and it's filled with water. The craftsmen are really very skillful, some designs add a clay pipe, and some designs add a hole to draw water. ”
At Li Yuanxing's suggestion, a guard took a bowl of water from the square outer furnace.
"When the water is cold in winter, it's good to wash your face and hands. It's just that the water is not drinkable. It is also not recommended to drink the water here. Li Yuanxing took the bowl and asked Wang Jishan to test the water temperature, which is about 50 degrees in modern calculations. Wang Jishan also said: "After a tiring day, the hot water bath is good!" ”
"yes, this hot water is always useful!"
After speaking, Li Yuanxing motioned to the guards to put the pot on the stove, and then pointed to a long broken pottery pipe sticking out of the stove: "This is a chimney, coal is not the same as firewood, although there is no smoke." But it will have a lethal and breathless atmosphere. So it has to be excluded. ”
Wang Ji said kindly. Is this turbidity scary?
Li Yuanxing explained: "Just like the last time the imperial sister-in-law was on top of the main hall, because the main hall was ventilated, there was no hindrance. But if the doors and windows are closed in the winter, it will be fine for an hour or two, but not all night. The turbidity in the house is too heavy. Lightheadedness can be lightheaded. In the middle, there will be stroke. And if you lose your life! ”
Wang Jishan understood.
"It's like the air in the dense forests of the south, when there is sunshine during the day, people can enter and exit without hindrance. But at night there is great danger. Therefore, as long as the coal stove is ventilated in the house, and there is a chimney to discharge the turbidity gas out of the house, it will not hinder people! ”
"Exactly!" Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded.
After reading the stove, Li Yuanxing asked the fifty-four corn plants to be recorded.
Fifty-four corns, cut one foot from the roots, the upper part being weighed. Soon, a personal guard came to report: "Report to Your Highness, according to estimates, the fine part of the green pole is used as cattle and horse feed per acre, and there are 1,100 catties!" Of the fifty-four plants, there were one hundred and one cobs, and one did not grow corn! ”
"Didn't grow?" Li Yuanxing was a little excited.
The guard immediately said: "Lizheng has already checked it, but it hasn't grown." It's not that someone took it, Li is about to ask you for guilt, it's that he didn't check it properly! ”
"You are not tired, this king is still tired!"
Li Yuanxing laughed at the guards in a few words, Wang Jishan observed on the side, it was rumored that Li Yuanxing was close, and when he saw the rumors today, he really didn't put the prince on the shelf.
"Go, take the leaf that didn't grow corn, and bring the stalk!"
The corn stalk that didn't grow corn was brought over, and Li Zheng still stood nervously at the bottom.
The corn stalk was cut into two small pieces with a personal guard knife, and Li Yuanxing handed one in Wang Jishan's hand: "This kind of stalk that does not grow corn is what I liked the most when I was a child." After speaking, Li Yuanxing took a bite, and after biting out the juice, he spit out the slag. smiled: "It's really sweet, don't you dare to let the little guys in Zhuangzi know this secret, otherwise this corn stalk will let them bite, and the corn yield will be greatly reduced!" ”
Li Zheng and the guards also laughed.
Wang Jishan's teeth were not good, so after pressing it with his hand, he put it in his mouth and felt the taste.
It's really sweet, like a child's teeth, and naturally likes to bite into this thing, the juice is sweet, and it's fun.
"It seems that Gorou is going to be optimistic about the dolls in the village!" Wang Jishan also said with a smile.
Li Yuanxing let the guards and Li Zheng taste it, and Li Zheng said: "The dolls will definitely watch it, and the dolls of the Zhuang family will not harm the crops." ”
"I just said there are a hundred and one corns, is it too much to weigh?" Li Yuanxing asked again.
Li Zheng replied: "It is estimated that there are 1,300 catties per mu!" ”
1,600 catties, Wang Jishan stood up at once, this number is really amazing. Li Yuanxing knew that Li Zheng had miscalculated, but he didn't say anything. watched Wang Jishan run over in person to check the weight.
"Fifty-four, one acre is two thousand seven hundred. It's fifty-one, and this weighs ......."
Li Yuanxing was listening, Wang Jishan calculated the yield per mu, and it was not until Wang Jishan finished the calculation and was surprised by the number of 1,300 catties that Li Yuanxing walked over: "Li Zheng miscalculated, this algorithm is not calculated like this!" ”
"How is it calculated?" Wang Ji said kindly, even if it is wrong, it is impossible to remove the whole number and leave a fraction.
You must know that Datang's current yield per mu is only about 200 catties, and the well-managed fertile land does not exceed 300 catties. Worse, more than 100 catties of grain. This is 1,300 catties, 1,300 catties.
The old man's whole body trembled.
This kind of seed, this kind of seed ......, Wang Jishan is almost about to open his mouth to ask for seeds.
Li Yuanxing called Li Zheng, picked up a corn that had been completely torn off the outer husk, and pulled off the corn kernels on it: "If you want to calculate the weight, just count this, how can you even count the cob inside." That's a lot worse. Go, recalculate! ”
The new corn is not easy to allot, but it can't stand the crowd, not only Wang Jishan's guard, the family has started, even Wang Jishan has to try it himself.
Wang Jishan was anxious to know how much the real yield per mu was.
Looking at Wang Jishan's trembling hands, Li Yuanxing said: "It is fresh corn now, this is not fully ripe, and it will take about ten days." This year, the planting was a little late. When it is fully ripe, it is easy to remove it after drying. ”
Wang Jishan just nodded, but his hands didn't stop.
Zuihou sent Wang and Shan, so he had to hand it over to the family and the family to complete it.
"This has been re-estimated. The yield per mu is a thousand catties! Wang Jishan kept staring.
"This. Not sun-dried. Dry at least 30% less water. This is a refined breed. Seven hundred catties, this number, not bad. Li Yuanxing was also silently calculating in his heart. This amount is a modern yield of 500 kilograms, which is not bad, but if the fertilizer can't keep up, the yield per mu will definitely decline.
Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "This is a fine seed, if you let go of the planting, the yield of five hundred catties per mu will be considered good!" ”
"Five hundred catties, five hundred catties is a great harvest!" Wang Jishan's tone raised an octave.
Li Yuanxing shrugged his shoulders and was about to speak, but he looked at Li Zheng and was kneeling there to thank heaven and earth. Crying. It's just that several guards have red circles under their eyes.
"Gorou, no! His Royal Highness the King of Qin, with a yield of 200 catties per mu, he will thank heaven and earth. With a yield of 300 catties per mu, officials at all levels in the county will be rewarded, and the court will report its merits in the entire Tang Dynasty. His Royal Highness the King of Qin, come on, according to what you said, after this is dried, the yield per mu is 700 catties, what should it be? ”
Wang Jishan was a little excited, his excitement was not for the Tang Dynasty, but for their Taiyuan Wang family.
Li Yuanxing dared to call him over, and weighed the yield per mu in front of him, which was to give them the seeds for the Wang family.
Not to mention 700 catties, it is 350 catties, which is also a huge output.
Li Yuanxing touched his chin: "This, you should invite the imperial brother to preside over it at the time of harvest, and sacrifice heaven and earth by the way." ”
Wang Jishan is happy in his heart, you Li Yuanxing can really talk nonsense, and you will open the topic at a critical time. The output of 700 catties must be for the saint to come up and sacrifice to heaven and earth.
But don't you Li Yuanxing understand, if you make a yield of 700 catties per mu, what should you do with the magnates of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Yuanxing was also sneering, saying in his heart that the family was nothing more than that. All you can see is the land, and the little grain output in the land, and even if you do business, it is just that business.
"Elder Wang, your Taiyuan Wang family, even if you don't want land for a year, you will get ten times as much money and grain as you are now. A little high-yield grain is not worth the excitement of the Taiyuan Wang. With enough money, can't you buy a lot of food? With enough money, you can't fill your king's granary! ”
Wang Jishan was stunned, and suddenly he reacted.
Li Yuanxing's remarks, I'm afraid that this is the focus of today's discussion.
Li Yuanxing said: "There is another kind of grain, which can be planted on sandy land without picking the ground. The lowest yield per mu is 3,000 catties, and that thing is quite delicious. It's boring to just eat too much, I just pick haode and eat it as a snack. Worse, broke and fed the cattle and horses. I don't know what Elder Wang will think when he hears this! ”
"Datang is down, there are no hungry people!" Wang Jishan said word by word.
Li Yuanxing took out a cigarette, then lit it with a pure steel lighter, and said while walking towards the shed: "I'll breed again when spring starts, and at most I can prepare some seeds for all states and counties in the world a year!" ”
Wang Jishan walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Li Yuanxing, and when he was about to say something, Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "It's better to taste this Tang corn first, there are various ways to eat it." It's just that I like this easiest way to eat the most! After speaking, Li Yuanxing opened the lid of the pot, fished out two corns from the water, put them on the corn cob from behind with bamboo chopsticks, and then held bamboo chopsticks.
"That's how you eat, it's the easiest!" Li Yuanxing blew it, let the corn cool down a bit, took a big bite, and haha smiled.
Wang Jishan is old, and he must not be able to bite.
But Li Yuanxing had a way to let the guards cut half a bowl of corn kernels with a knife: "Elder Wang be careful, this way of eating is a bit hard." ”
Wang Jishan ate two grains, in fact, he already knew that this grain would definitely not be bad, and it would have a fragrance when it was taken out of the pot. (To be continued......)
