Chapter 629: I Glory Thirteen
After the corn and sweet potato harvest, it also gave a huge surprise to Mrs. He and the people in the cottage. In the eyes of He Taifu and others, the three crops are the treasures of the treasures, and now when he heard that Cen Shu'an wanted to use Cen Huazhi's hand to dedicate the three crops to the imperial court, He Taifu was even more happy.
"You're a good boy." Mrs. He praised Cen Shu'an, and said, "That, the drawings of the farm tools used in the cottage, can you let someone also give a copy to your father, so that your father can also dedicate it to the court at the same time?" ”
Cen Shu'an understood Mrs. He's thoughts, although he left the court, Mrs. He's heart was still on the court and thousands of people.
"Okay." Cen Shu'an responded. He is not for the court, but for the thousands of people, with high-yield grain and practical agricultural tools, the people can eat enough and live a good life, which is also a merit.
Then turn the camera back to the Hou Mansion.
Jian Bizhen was chatting with Cen Huazhi, and heard the report that the potatoes had been found, and she was overjoyed, and before Cen Huazhi could speak, she said, "Hurry up and let people carry things to the yard." ”
The subordinates were embarrassed: "That, there are a lot of things, it's not easy to get to the mansion, and they are all placed in a Zhuangzi under the name of Hou Ye." ”
Jian Bizhen immediately stared at Cen Huazhi with burning eyes.
Cen Huazhi smiled: "You are in a hurry." Okay, you go to change your clothes and prepare your luggage, and the master will take you to Zhuangzi to live for a few days. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Thanks." Jian Bizhen was so happy, she immediately ran into the back room to change her clothes, and by the way, she instructed Xue Tao to prepare her luggage, and told Bingmei to inform Old Madam Cen.
Jian Bizhen's movements were very fast, and before she could make a cup of tea, she changed into her clothes to go out and came to Cen Huazhi's side.
Cen Huazhi took Jian Bizhen out of the courtyard, got into the carriage, and went to his Zhuangzi.
By the time I arrived at Zhuangzi, it was almost time for dinner.
Jian Bizhen said to Cen Hua: "That's right, I'll use three things to make a delicious meal for my husband." ”
"But what delicious can you make with three kinds of food?" Cen Hua was puzzled.
Jian Bizhen smiled: "Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are not only food to fill the stomach, they are also delicious when used to make vegetables." Husband, just wait and make sure you eat to your satisfaction. ”
After saying that, she was directly taken to the kitchen.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Jian Bizhen began to show her skills, directing the chefs in Zhuangzi to make a table of delicacies: french fries, potato roast meat, mashed potatoes, dry pot potatoes, hot and sour shredded potatoes, three fresh, potato cakes, potato chips fried meat, potato beef stew, corn soup, pine nut corn, corn stewed pork rib soup, assorted corn, shredded sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato cakes, fried sweet potato balls, sweet potato porridge, sweet potato cakes, ......
Cen Huazhi saw a table full of dishes, his eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity: "This, these are really dishes!" ”
"Husband, taste it." Jian Bizhen took a piece of potato from the roast meat and put it in Cen Huazhi's bowl.
The potatoes are so glutinous that they absorb the gravy and sauce, and are so delicious that you almost swallow your tongue.
"It's delicious, this potato absorbs the smell of meat, and it's even better than the meat itself." Cen Huazhi couldn't help but praise.
Jian Bizhen smiled: "Of course, potatoes are the easiest to taste." Try the fries again and eat them with sweet and sour sauce. ”
Cen Huazhi ate a french fries and said, "Mother will definitely like these french fries." ”
Jian Bizhen said: "When we leave Zhuangzi, we will bring some potatoes back to the house, and say that it is a new food from the south, not food, and then write a recipe for french fries to the old lady." ”
Cen Huazhi nodded: "You think thoughtfully. ”
Cen Huazhi ate this meal, the food made of the three ingredients was very delicious, and it was really more filling than other foods.
After dinner, Cen Huazhi and Jian Bizhen walked to the warehouse where potatoes and corn were placed, and saw the real thing.
"This potato looks gray and inconspicuous on the outside, how do you know that it tastes so good." Cen Huazhi picked up a potato, and he didn't dislike the dirt on the outside of the potato to dirty his hands.
"Is this a ruin?" Jian Bizhen said with a smile.
"That's a good thing." Cen Huazhi put down the potato, picked up another piece of corn, peeled off the outer skin, revealing the golden corn kernels, and praised, "This corn is beautiful, no wonder it is called corn." ”
"These three are quite a lot, so they should be able to plant all the Zhuangzi, right?" Jian Bizhen asked, although she knew a lot of knowledge, she didn't know about the specific operations in the farmland.
"This is ......" Cen Huazhi didn't know.
The subordinate stepped forward smartly and said, "Mrs. Hui, as long as half of it can be planted in the entire Zhuangzi." ”
Jian Bizhen said: "In this case, in addition to leaving some for self-consumption, let people give them to nearby farmers." Of course, they voluntarily planted and then sent it, and if they didn't want to, they didn't send it, so as not to waste grain. ”
"Yes." The subordinate hurriedly answered.
Jian Bizhen continued to instruct: "These three grains must be watched by people throughout the whole process, and the planting experience will be recorded, so that the Hou Ye will be useful in the future." ”
"Yes."
"Some of the inferior fields, some of the superior fields, and compare the ......yields of the two places after they are planted," Jian Bizhen instructed again.
The subordinates wrote them down one by one.
Cen Huazhi also listened carefully, his eyes went around the grain seed and landed on a strange object.
Jian Bizhen followed his line of sight and exclaimed, "Threshing machine? ”
Cen Huazhi asked curiously, "Madame knows what this thing is?" ”
Jian Bizhen looked at the threshing machine carefully with a suspicious gaze, and replied: "This is a threshing machine, also known as a fan cart, which is a kind of agricultural tool for removing glume husks, ash and shriveled grains from grains. Where did you get your threshing machine? ”
There shouldn't be a threshing machine in this world, right?
The servant replied: "This is what the seed seller recommended to us when we bought the potato and corn seeds, and it is said that an old craftsman had just invented it, and I heard from the man that it is very convenient to use this threshing machine to thresh the grain, and it can save at least three times the time." We immediately bought the man a threshing machine and made drawings for the money. The old craftsman is dead, and those people have no drawings in their hands, and they can't make a second threshing machine. ”
Cen Huazhi laughed when he heard this, and praised: "Well done. ”
He knew what he would gain by offering the new farm tools to the imperial court. Now that potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes have not been planted, it is better to sacrifice the threshing machine to earn a share of credit.
"Are there any other farm tools?" Cen Hua asked.
"There are also cocoons, hoes, harvesters...... "The next person showed Cen Huazhi and Jian Bizhen the farm tools with their names one by one.
Jian Bizhen felt that the old craftsman who invented things must have crossed over, but unfortunately he died, and he couldn't recognize him as a fellow countryman.
