Chapter 80

"This warehouse will become my main warehouse for storing things in the future, so large space is one thing, drying is the second, and sturdy is the third." Ye Lan repeatedly emphasized,

"This time, this warehouse, I don't want to use grass to make the roof, when the time comes, I will buy some special roof tiles to come back, and when building the warehouse, don't use too much to easily burn things, so as not to encounter fire, understand, Uncle Li?"

"I see." Li Da nodded.

"Okay, then you can get to work, and feel free to ask me if you have something."

"Okay." Li Da took people to work in full swing, Ye Lan took a look, went home and got the tools and said to Qiao Zi, and then went to the field, how to combine modern knowledge with this era, is the main problem she is facing now, these days, in addition to building a vegetable shed with everyone, she has also been paying attention to the growth of plants, wanting to produce food and vegetables on a large scale, in addition to changing the quality of the soil, she also needs to use modern planting technology.

The chili pepper in the vegetable shed has been prepared, and it is Ye Lan's experimental subject, in the eyes of others, she stays in it for a long time, I don't know what she does, but she studies it, and half a day is like a blink of an eye.

When it was time for lunch, someone still called her, and she came back to her senses and found that it was time to eat, which was good.

Wang Da took twenty-five people to harvest corn, and took back the corn in half a day, looking at the corn stacked in the yard, Ye Lan frowned, shook her head secretly, and simply visually measured it, the output value of one acre, I am afraid that it is less than 100 kilograms, this is still the effect of insecticidal fertilization after she took over, if it is not taken over, the value will only be small, modern, even if it is a plateau area and other places that are not suitable for planting, the output value of planting corn per mu can reach about 4 kilograms, if the conditions in the south are good, the output value of an acre can be as high as about 1 kilogram, this place, The congenital conditions are not much worse than those in the plateau area, but the harvest is so different.

Seeing Ye Lan frowning and shaking her head as she looked at the corn that had been withdrawn, Wang Da was a little inexplicable next to her, "Little boss, the corn has all been recovered, what do you think will happen to next?" ”

"Peel these corns for me in the afternoon, and divide them into first, second, and third classes according to their size and quality...... Ye Lan picked out two corns from them,

"Better than my left hand, that is, first-class, worse than my left-hand but better than my right-handed, divided into second-class, and the rest, divided into third-class."

Wang Da took the two corns in Ye Lan's hand and looked at them, "Okay, little boss, I know." ”

"Leave ten people here to peel the skin, and the rest, go to the field and get me the corn stalk back, you can arrange this specifically."

"Okay."

After a morning of hard work, they have already paved the first layer, and according to Ye Lan's requirements, they have paved the wet soil, filled the gaps between the stones, and then flattened the ground, and the stone slabs can be made in the afternoon.

"Well done, you've worked hard." Ye Lan checked it and nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's go eat, let's continue after eating." ”

"Okay." Li Da and the others went to eat with smiles on their faces, they liked Ye Lan because Ye Lan was very polite at any time, and they would say that they were troublesome when they asked them to do things, and they would say that they had worked hard after doing it, Ye Lan here, they had never been respected, and therefore, when they worked for Ye Lan, they would work harder.

After eating, without waiting for a break, everyone spontaneously began to work, Wang Da left ten people to peel jade for corn, and then took the rest of the people to the cornfield to get corn stalks, Ye Lan left Jinhua and Li in the kitchen, and then called the remaining women out to help peel the skin.

These corns are all grown in their own land, and when they are harvested in previous years, they will cook a few at home to eat.

"I just picked the corn, and I don't know what it tastes like, but if I can eat two, it would be good."

Saying this, it is a widow in the village, surnamed Qin, in her forties, there is a blind son at home, she usually doesn't go out, and she hasn't found a wife in her thirties, the pressure of life makes Qin's widow have a bad temper, and the popularity in the village is not good, and the whole person is also declining before she gets old, a person in her early forties looks like a sixty-year-old woman, before Ye Lan came, she and her son lived quite badly, after Ye Lan came, the family conditions have been greatly improved, there are more smiles on her face, and her temper is better, It's also a little friendlier to get along with the people in the village.

In the past, she talked and people didn't care about her, but now when she heard her say this, someone answered with a smile, "Okay, you, there are so many of us, we want everyone to eat two, and there are not a few corn left, we come to work for the small boss as a long time, but not as an ancestor, the little boss is good to us, the little boss is good to the little boss, we can't ask for this and that because the little boss is good, be careful when the little boss gets angry, don't want you, and then see where you go to find a better boss than the small boss." ”

Widow Qin thought that Ye Lan was easy to speak, and originally wanted to ask for a few, but now when she heard what the people next to her said, she suddenly felt that it made sense, so many people, if they wanted it themselves, others would also want it, and they would all give it when the time came, and how many of this corn could be left, the little boss saw that he was the first to speak, and he was angry, and when the time came, he would trouble himself, and he didn't want to do it directly, then she would cry and have nowhere to find it.

Finally, the conditions at home have improved, and Widow Qin still wants to marry a daughter-in-law for her son, if she loses her job because of a few corns, it is not cost-effective, thinking about it like this, Widow Qin immediately changed her mind,

"I just want to taste this fresh corn, and I don't have to eat it, so let's have fun."

Seeing that her attitude is okay, the woman who spoke before spoke again, "The little boss is so good to us, we also have to repay some kindness, the little boss gives us something that she is willing, she is happy, if we open our mouths to ask her, the nature will change, when the little boss is in a good mood, it is fine, if you are in a bad mood, you will really regret it and there is no place to cry." ”

"Daughter-in-law of the Wang family, thank you for reminding me." Widow Qin looked at the woman who was talking to her with gratitude.

"The little boss is not the kind of person you say, she won't be so stingy, and we also have corn fields at home, what do you want the little boss to do with corn, and you Jinxiu Village gave the land to the little boss this year without corn to eat, if you want to eat, go back and let my daughter-in-law cook a few and bring them over for you to try." A man on the side was Wangjia Village, and after listening to the words of the two women, he spoke.

"Really, thank you so much, my son is a little greedy, always talking about corn, this is not my land for the little boss, or I wouldn't mention this stubble." Widow Qin immediately looked at the man happily when she heard this.

"It's okay, we all work together, and a few corn and my family will still give it up." That is, now that he has made more money, his family is rich, and he is generous, if he wants to change it, a few corns, he may not be able to afford it, the man thought to himself.

Ye Lan arranged the work and ran to the vegetable shed again, she didn't know what the people in the yard were talking about, but she didn't know, it didn't mean that Qiao Zi didn't know either.

When she got up in the morning and fed a few dogs to eat, Qiao Zi asked two women to help her give a bath to a few puppies, not that she loved Wu and Wu, but that she was worried that the other puppies would get their two puppies dirty when they played with their puppies, and she had already made up her mind to help the puppies take a bath every day, these two puppies named Xiaohua and Xiaojie puppies have become her beloved dogs.

After bathing the two puppies, Qiao Zi wiped them clean with a towel, smelled their fragrant smell, and felt a sense of accomplishment, and didn't do anything all morning, just played with the two puppies, and didn't even go out of the house when eating, so that she rarely appeared, so she was temporarily forgotten by everyone, and everyone didn't lower their voices when they were talking, so Qiao Zi heard it clearly in the house.

All in all, everyone still respects Ye Lan very much, and they respect her very much, as a mother, Qiao Zi still feels satisfied when she hears others talk about her daughter like this, because everyone's evaluation of her daughter must be good.

After dinner in the evening, after freshening up and preparing to go to bed, Qiao Zi conveyed everyone's words to her daughter, Ye Lan smiled when she heard this, "Mother, if you don't tell me, I really forgot about it, I have harvested corn, I should really give everyone a fresh taste, let Aunt Jinhua cook a pork rib corn soup tomorrow, it tastes good, and you can eat more when the time comes." ”

"Can corn still be cooked with ribs?" Qiao Zi looked at her daughter curiously, her daughter always had some strange ideas, she made a dish out of some food that had not been put together before, or she had not done it, although others had not done it, but her daughter made it unexpectedly delicious.

Could it be that his daughter is a culinary genius?

I guess that's the only way to explain it, otherwise, how to explain that those daughters can make very delicious dishes when they come up with them?

"Well, the soup will be sweet and the corn will be sweet and delicious." Ye Lan gave her mother a positive answer.

Early the next morning, Ye Lan asked Jinhua to prepare some pork ribs, and then picked some corn from the second-class corn, cut it into sections, and told her how to make pork ribs corn soup.

"Fill the pot with water, then put the pork ribs and corn down together, put some ginger and green onions, don't put them for a while, when they are cooked, put some salt, and drink the soup tastes right, it's okay."

The simple method was taught to Jinhua, and the workers came, and yesterday arranged the unfinished work, let everyone continue, and then taught Wang Da and others to deal with the corn stalks.

In this era, farmers harvest corn, corn stalks are generally cut down directly and dried as fuel, but no one knows, corn stalks are rich in sugar and fiber, can be used as feed, fertilizer, raw materials, in the past, after the corn stalks are harvested, farmers are directly burned as firewood, not only polluting the air, but also very wasteful.

In the limited resources, it is possible to use them, which is what Yelan needs now, and the land in the north is barren, and fertilizer can improve the quality of the land.

Hearing Ye Lan's request to cut the corn stalk into pieces with a knife, Wang Da and the others were a little curious, "What's the use of cutting into pieces, we used to burn them directly." ”

"There are many uses, you can use it to feed pigs, horses, chickens and ducks, and you can also use fertilizer to improve the barrenness of the land." Ye Lan told Wang Da.

"Pigs, they're going to eat this? Can it also improve the barrenness of the land? "If it is said that poultry can eat corn stalks, Wang Da and others can accept it, but if it is said to be used as fertilizer to improve the barrenness of the land, Wang Da and others do not believe it, how many years has the land in the north been barren, why don't people know that using corn stalks can improve the land, how can a little girl Ye Lan know?

But Ye Lan is the boss, what she wants to do, everyone will do it, according to her requirements, cut the corn stalk into slag, for a while, the yard came from the sound of firewood knives cutting things, although the output value of fifty acres of corn is small, but the corn stalk is a lot, to cut these things into slag, a day can not be completed, at least two or three days.

The poultry at home have always been fed by Jinhua, Ye Lan asked her to add some chopped corn stalks into it for a while, Jinhua agreed, and there was still some hesitation in her heart, not knowing if the poultry wanted to eat it themselves, but when it was time to feed, she found that the animals were eating very deliciously.

How did Yelan know that the animals were going to eat corn stalks?

In Jinhua's heart, Ye Lan's knowledge has reached a new level, and she even has some expectations for what she said that she has never heard of corn stalks can change the barrenness of the land.

After Wang Da and the others chopped all the corn stalks, Ye Lan asked them to carry the corn stalk slag into the open field, spread the corn stalk stalk slag evenly on the ground, and then turned the ground over with a hoe to let the corn stalk stalk slag enter the ground, and then let Wang Da and others splash dung, and then let Wang Da and others join the army of digging fish ponds again.

When Wang Da and others rejoined the army of digging fish ponds, Cheng Rui said that the half-moon period had arrived, no more, no less, just fifteen days, after breakfast on this day, Ye Lan went down to the ground as usual, and it didn't take long for someone to call her, saying that there was a convoy, and the leader said that it was a man surnamed Cheng Gongzi who asked them to send things over.

surnamed Cheng Gongzi, Ye Lan only knew one, that is, the master Cheng Rui, and hurried back from the ground immediately.

More than a dozen carts of linen, each car was piled high, and the parking village seemed to be quite large, Ye Lan appeared, and the leader of the convoy immediately came over and saluted her.

"Tian Qi has seen Miss, Miss, this is my master who asked Tian Qi to send something, please Miss check."

"What's your master's name?" Although she already knew, Ye Lan still had to ask clearly.

"My master's surname is Cheng Mingrui."

Sure enough, it was the master who sent something, Ye Lan walked to a carriage close to him, lifted the cloth on it to check, the linen cloth used in the military tent is really different from the one he is using, and he knows who is good at a glance, and the soldiers will naturally not leak rain when they live in the tent, although the linen cloth looks thinner now, but Ye Lan does not doubt their performance, it is very simple, out of trust in the master, these linen cloths are specially sent by the master.

"Why didn't the master come?"

"The master has something to deal with, and it is inconvenient to come, but the master asks Tian Qi to bring a word, and he will come over." Tian Qi said respectfully, in fact, he didn't understand why the master was so concerned about this little girl, the degree of concern seemed to be too out of line, now it seems that there is nothing special, the clothes on her body are made of ordinary fabric, and there is mud, she looks like a little village girl, if he didn't know her identity, he would never have thought that this was actually one of the five major families of Chu State.

"Pull these two carts into the field for me, and let me go down to the grocery store and put the rest." Ye Lan called the kitchen to help Mao 13 take people to the field, and then asked Tian Qi to bring someone to carry the things to the miscellaneous goods for herself.

Tian Qi had a very good attitude, and with a wave of his hand, the coachmen began to move things with their hands and feet, Ye Lan took them into the miscellaneous goods, pointed to a clean corner and asked them to put sackcloth,

"Just put it in this corner, don't turn around anywhere else, be careful not to touch my things."

"Yes, Miss."
