Chapter 104: Mr. Shao is here
The autumn is pleasant, and the sunshine at the turn of Tatsumi is not vicious.
Shen Fuzhi didn't need to ask carefully to know that the errand in the palace was nervous and tired, so he told Yao Huan to rest at home for two days.
In the autumn sun, Yao Huan was lying on the edge of the pond watching crayfish.
Yao Huan calculated, it has been several months since he came to this strange time and space. Whether it is Kaifeng City, or the horse Wang Xu's house, whether it is Mingyue Tower, or the palace kitchen, she either personally investigated, or traced and inquired, no one has ever heard of such a thing as crayfish.
"Looks like you've really traveled with me. I'm just soul wearing, and you, I guess God also remembered that there were no crayfish in the Northern Song Dynasty, so I allowed you to take a ride with the soul in the shell. ”
Yao Huanwu said with a smile to himself, leaning over and carefully grabbing the largest crayfish.
A few days ago, at dusk before she entered the palace, her younger brother Yao Ruzhou was eating by the pool with a bowl, and suddenly said in surprise: "Sister, the posture of these two shrimps fighting is really strange." ”
At that time, Yao Huan stepped forward to take a closer look, and sure enough, among the rubble that was half submerged in the pond, a crayfish turned its belly, and the other was lying on it with its teeth and claws. Yao Huan was stunned for a moment and realized that lobsters, like hairy crabs, are also arthropods, so they also mate in such a posture.
That day, Yao Huan casually made a sloppy eye and fooled Xiao Ruzhou. But she was excited, and after a few days of careful inspection, she found several groups of shrimp mating. This shows that the shrimp in the pond are not only male and female, but also sexually mature and begin to reproduce as scheduled.
Yao Huan remembered this at this moment, caught a few shrimp and examined them, and soon found a large black shrimp roe on the bristles of one of them.
The number of fish eggs and shrimp roe per unit of the mother is staggering. The crayfish specially raised in the yard do not encounter bad natural disasters, even if the proportion of 20%, each crayfish can produce forty or fifty shrimp seedlings, then this pond, to next spring and summer, can have 500 adult shrimp, they breed for another year, and the offspring will be tens of thousands.
Yao Huan felt that he should seriously consider the problem of large-scale shrimp farming, after all, if the output of crayfish reached the supply of food and food, it would definitely not work if he relied on his own yard.
She had consulted with the shopkeeper Meng of Mingyue Building before, and knew that outside Kaifeng City, there were prototypes of the breeding industry, which were pigs, dogs, quails, chickens and ducks, but the aquatic industry of fish, shrimp and turtle shellfish was still in a primitive state of wild fishing, relying on the production of several major rivers such as the Yellow River and the Bianhe River, and it was completely dependent on the sky.
At the same time, the shopkeeper Meng also said that there are fields for planting rice around Jinmingchi outside Kaifeng City.
However, at this time, the rice in the Central Plains was not as productive and drought-tolerant as the Zhancheng rice introduced in the south, so the rice supply in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty depended largely on the southern Caoyun.
As long as there is a rice field and it can be bought and sold, you can buy a piece and transport the shrimp seedlings to try to further expand the breeding scale of crayfish in the rice field.
Even then, the cultivation and consumption of crayfish is no longer a secret, and it is okay. In later generations of China, how many people raised crayfish at the same time, and they still got rich together.
It's like five-flavor chicken feet, and my peers have also started to make them, so what. First, the fame was first started from the Shen family's restaurant, Yao Huan felt that it was completely possible to talk to his peers, rather than selling it yourself, it was better to be my franchise store and play my banner. Second, even if they don't do franchise stores, each family will come up with their own five-flavor chicken feet, which will drive the popular food style in Kaifeng City, and it will not be a loss for the Shen family. The consumer base has grown, just like the cake has become bigger, and everyone can eat more.
Yao Huan was drawing with relish, but heard a knock on the courtyard door.
Zhu Fei squeaked open, and it was Shao Qing outside the door.
"Mrs. Yao is at home, I'll get the book."
Yao Huan was surprised: "Mr. Shao, are you not in the private school today?" But Ru Zhou, I went to school early in the morning. ”
Shao Qingwan said: "There are a few old people in Fushun Fang who can make bows and crossbows, I ordered some small bamboo bows for the boys, the weather is very good today, Lu Gang took them to Dongshan, climb the mountain, and shoot arrows." As soon as I was free, I went to a few nearby homes to check the pulse and prescribe some ointment prescriptions for autumn. ”
Shao Qing said as he stepped into the courtyard.
Yao Huan is no longer restrained when he met in Pingshui half a year ago, and he is no longer a taboo for men and women in this era when he is alone at home, so he is not timid.
But there was still something wrong with entering the house, so Yao Huan naturally took Shao Qing's medicine box, put it on the stone table in the courtyard, and suddenly said with great interest: "Mr. came by chance, just try my new dim sum." ”
With that, he turned around and went to the kitchen stove.
Shao Qing looked at Yao Huan's back, as if he was in the realm of Shu Lang.
Early in the morning two days ago, her brother said that it was time for her sister to go home from the palace. Shao Qing put on his pickled osmanthus candy, sent Ruzhou home at the end of school, and found a reason to borrow books. When I arrived at the Shen family, I learned that Yao Huan was still in the palace.
The sly and smug look in Ru Zhou's eyes flashed, and Teach Shao Qing to catch it.
Shao Qing couldn't think about whether Yao Ruzhou was teasing himself that day, but improvised, although he saw the "Dream Creek Writing Talk" to borrow from Shen Fuzhi's hand, but when he said goodbye, he fell again.
In order to see her once without anyone disturbing, it is indeed a little tiring.
There is no way, this is the Southern Dynasty, not Da Liao, don't say that she is a woman in the name of keeping festivals, that is, an ordinary woman, how can the man who likes her casually talk for a long time?
Tired, what are you afraid of? Are you tired of looking for the god arm crossbow?
Besides, for her, after some thought, she was willing.
Even when Shao Qing sat alone at night, he couldn't help but sigh, perhaps, his love affair was intentional and ruthless. But in the new morning, when the energy is back and the day is full of energy, whether he is going to be a private school or Lang Zhong, or to arrange those secret plans, Shao Qing will still think about the woman who lives in the little red door two miles away.
Acacia is still sweet until it is clearly stamped as unrequited love.
A person with a sad childhood, a person with the secrets of his family and country, the sweetness of lovesickness, what a good healing agent.
Not only lovesickness, but also to meet.
Now, Shao Qing only thinks that this small space, because of the woman he admires, even the black and ugly shrimp in the pond is cute.
Yao Huan came belatedly, holding a celadon lotus petal basin.
But in the light blue color, a few pieces of tofu-like pastries are as white as snow, and on each piece, a spoonful of golden candied osmanthus is drizzled.
"Mr. Shao, almonds are sweet and bitter, your doctor uses bitter almonds in medicine, right?"
"Exactly, bitter almond grinding powder to make pills can relieve asthma and relieve lungs, autumn and winter season, just the season to use."
Yao Huan said with a smile: "Those who are in good health, you can also eat almonds to moisten your throat in autumn, which is my osmanthus sweet apricot tofu." ”
