"There's a good baby!? It's just a few rice ......" Lin Jing pursed her lips and muttered quietly. Although he seemed to have a look of disdain, those dripping eyes kept staring at the corn kernels that Lin Zhenniang put in the jewelry box.

The corn kernels obtained from Shen Moting were too precious for Lin Zhenniang. This is no more than fifty or sixty corn kernels, naturally cannot be eaten, must be kept for seeding, although she has never planted a field, but corn is widely planted in later generations, it should not be so difficult to serve, right? No small number of words

Naturally, you can't just collect the leased land just to grow these corns, let alone whether the other party is willing or not, and things haven't been done in this way. So as soon as she came home, Lin Zhenniang looked at the front and back yards, and decided to pry up part of the green bricks in the yard when spring begins, and sort out two plots of land to plant corn.

When Chen heard Lin Zhenniang's words, he was first surprised, and then laughed. She didn't believe that Lin Zhenniang would still farm, although the Lin family had land, but it had always been rented out, from Lin's father to the Chen family, no one had ever farmed in the field, let alone knew the work in the field. It can be said that although it may not be that the grains are not divided, there are still too many things that I don't understand. Just like the corn that Lin Zhenniang took at this time, she had never seen it before. She is like this, and Lin Zhenniang, who has been growing up in the city, is naturally even more so. But now, Lin Zhenniang, who has never done farm work, suddenly said that she wants to farm, can she not make her laugh?

Lin Zhenniang didn't take Chen's ridicule to heart. Yes, the Lin family is well-off, let alone farming, and they have never even raised chickens and ducks. But that doesn't mean she can't grow this corn alive, does it? There are not many words for this, she also deliberately pulled Lin Dong to ask a few times, seeing Lin Dong squinting, she only said that she had seen people farming for a long time, but she still didn't feel discouraged.

Even if no one in the family has ever farmed the land, she can still grope for it slowly. After waiting for the beginning of spring, she really planted a cornfield, then this corn, which is almost unknown to many people, is no longer just a plant planted in the Wu manor for the nobles to watch and play.

"Don't move! These seeds are very valuable! If you mess around, I'll clean you up ......"

Lin Jing's face fell, she pursed her lips, and looked at Lin Zhenniang unhappily, just when she was pointing at the little crow on the table with her hand. This was not said to him at all.

His speech moved slightly, although he didn't, but Lin Jing's mood suddenly improved. Reaching out and picking up a piece of peach cake in the snack box, he squeezed it with his hand and threw the scrap in front of the crow. Seeing that the bird, which had been kept in the Lin family for several days, poked out its head to peck at the broken heart, the corners of his mouth curled.

It's just that although he was laughing, he mocked and said that I saw that the master raised a starling and taught it to recite poetry all day long, and I thought it was very interesting. I didn't expect you to be more powerful than our master, and you actually raised a crow, and you still want to teach crows! ”

"I'm going to teach crows?" Lin Zhenniang was stunned at first, and then realized that this child was laughing at her at all.

"Don't look at the crow, but it knows it in its heart! You didn't look at it, I took care of it and it listened honestly! Raising her eyebrows, Lin Zhenniang returned the sentence.

Although the crow kept at home will listen to her care so honestly, most likely because it can't fly at all, she won't say that at this time.

It is said that reading is long and knowledgeable, but Lin Jingchang is not knowledgeable, but he is good at this mouthful of kung fu. A few months ago, she was a little clumsy, but now she dares to laugh at her. However, it doesn't seem too bad - at least, the two siblings still have something to say.

Looking at Lin Jing's pout, just fiddling with the crow's head with her fingers, Lin Zhenniang smiled, and said warmly Wait for me to grow tender corn, please eat it! If nothing else, just cooking it is delicious......"

Lin Jing didn't, but her eyes lit up. looked at Lin Zhenniang, it seemed that she wanted to be coquettish, but she still didn't do that. For Chen and Lin Zhenniang, he brought some alienation from his instincts.

Ruyu, who had not been on the side, stopped the needle in his hand and looked at it. You can't move the needle and thread in the first month, so Ruyu grabbed the last day and a half and sewed the underwear made for Lin Jing in her hand.

"Little lady, do you think this kind of gold is expensive? How expensive is it? This is really strange to say. Such a large grain, golden and yellow, looks good. But is this expensive? Can there still be that tribute of royal rice gold? ”

"Mime?" Lin Zhenniang laughed, "If this corn is really grown, maybe it can also be used to control rice!" Rare things are expensive, haven't you heard of it? Ah, maybe not...... I heard that this yield is very high, and the official family is not like us ordinary people, maybe we still have to eat those with a small yield, specially supplied - even if the corn is designated as imperial rice, it is still fresh for a while. Lin Zhenniang didn't think much about it, if high-yield crops were planted in a large area, they would bring changes to the Great Song Dynasty. These livelihood issues are not within her consideration.

All she thinks about is to grow corn, increase the ingredients, make delicious dishes, and maybe make a small amount of money by the way. That's enough for her.

Outside, Lin Dong brought Li An in. But she is thirty years old, and Mrs. Wang sent Li An to send two boxes of dim sum as a New Year's gift.

Those two boxes of dim sum don't need to be opened, Lin Zhenniang also bought the mung bean crisp from Xu Ji on the street in front, but the price is cheap and the taste is much worse than Zhiweixuan.

However, since Wang Niangzi still means it, they are not so generous, and the dim sum box brought by Zhiweixuan is naturally to be brought by Li An in return of courtesy.

Li An was polite, his eyes swept over the crow that seemed to be about to recover, and the smile on his face became more sincere. It's just that in front of the elders, his consistent Sven is not as open as Liu Yuan.

Lin Zhenniang didn't shy away from it, "This crow is almost ready, find one one day, you can go and release it!" ”

"At this time?" Li An hurriedly waved his hand, "Let's wait until spring!" At this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to forage for food......"

"Hey, the other crows don't have the same foraging for food—raising it and wasting my food." Lin Zhenniang pursed her lips and deliberately made a dissatisfied gesture.

Li An's face was hot, and he looked away, but he saw those corn kernels. With a soft sigh, he asked in surprise what it was? I've never seen ...... before."

Seeing that Li An, who had always been steady, was full of surprise, Chen on the side couldn't help but smile, and his gaze, which had been a little scrutinizing, also showed a little gentleness.

Lin Zhenniang even joked directly, "You are a scholar who only knows how to read, not farming, and you have never seen a lot of grain!" You haven't seen anything unusual! ”

Li An's face was straight, and he said calmly Although he has never farmed, I have read "Qi Min's Technique". If you want to benefit the local community, you can't do it through farming!? ”

Unexpectedly, it was just a casual joke, which also provoked Li An to answer so seriously, Lin Zhenniang was stunned, and then asked with a smile Since you have read "Qi Min's Technique", then you can tell me what it is? What kind of grains are they? If you say it, I will obey you. ”

Li An's face was a little red, he took a few steps closer, looked at the corn kernels carefully, and touched them, but in the end, he muttered for a long time before saying that this is food, I really can't see it. It's just that I think this should be millet, that is, a kind of millet, as the saying goes, there are clouds, millet has five colors, there are 'white, red, yellow, black, orange, purple', this is golden, it should be a kind of millet. ”

Listening to it was a little dizzy, Lin Zhenniang didn't tell Li An whether it was right or not. In fact, when it comes to corn in later generations, it is said that it is coarse grains and coarse grains, and no one really says that it is five grains. But now that Ang Lee is saying this, there seems to be some truth.

blinked, Lin Zhenniang didn't say that Li An was right, but just looked at Li An and bowed her head.

"Li An is shallow, maybe he is not right, and he asked the little lady to give advice."

Whether he is right or not, depending on his attitude, he must also be taught.

Lin Zhenniang tilted her head with a smile and raised her head a little, "Let me teach you a ride, this, called corn, also called bud rice, is the food brought by the people of the martial arts family from overseas." Now there are people in the manor of the martial arts family who plant this and give it to the dignitaries to enjoy, and it is normal that you have not seen it. ”

"Is it for people to enjoy?" Li An frowned, although he didn't say anything else, he was obviously not very interested in corn anymore.

Lin Zhenniang didn't notice it, and she was still discussing with Li An with great interest Since you have read "Qi Min's Technique", it must be time to plant crops! It's just right, when spring comes, I'll plant this corn, and you'll help me! Well, I won't let you help in vain, plant it and send you a few ears to eat. ”

"Can you eat this?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be a little interested.

"Naturally, you can eat it, this one is delicious! It's better than beans and the like, and I'm telling you, this corn is not only delicious, but also has a high yield......"

"High yield?" Ang Lee's eyes lit up, "How tall?" How much can one acre produce? ”

This—

Lin Zhenniang could only blink. This question really asked her, this corn yield is recognized by the world, but let her tell her how high the yield is, she has lived in the city since she was a child.

After a dry cough, she stretched out a finger, "Yes, it will also yield a thousand catties per mu, right?" There are no many words" She said a lot less?

Before she could change her mind, Li An had already approached with bright eyes, "Will it really yield a thousand catties per mu?" Possible? Such a high yield – that's, it's really, really ......."

Seeing that Li An was so excited that she turned in circles, Lin Zhenniang was a little weak-hearted.

"That, I'm ......"

She hasn't yet, Chen has already cut off her words, "Zhen Niang, you can't talk nonsense." Can this corn yield be that high? As she spoke, she glared at Lin Zhenniang twice, "Back then, your father also watched "Qi Min Yaoshu", but he never said which of the five grains had such a high yield. If you talk nonsense now, and if you are heard, you will cause trouble. ”

"I also estimated it casually......" Lin Zhenniang pouted, but muttered that the corn yield was already high!

Although Chen scolded Lin Zhenniang, Li An obviously still believed Lin Zhenniang, "Zhen-little lady, do you really want to plant this corn?" If you want to plant, let me help you. I don't want you to make it for me, as long as you let me calculate the yield of this corn when the time comes. ”

This is a trivial matter, and it is a labor force for nothing, so this little thing is naturally not counted. Readily agreed, Lin Zhenniang just had to clap her hands with Ang Li to make an appointment.

After sending Li An away, Lin Zhenniang put the corn kernels up beautifully, no matter what Chen glared at her, she still blamed her for being messy!

The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, before people woke up, they heard the sound of firecrackers. I don't know which naughty boy it is, when he got up early in the morning, he set off the firecrackers first, but Lin Zhenniang, who originally wanted to sleep a little longer, couldn't sleep.

After washing up in a hurry, as soon as Lin Zhenniang opened the door, she saw Lin Jing standing in the courtyard, staring at the courtyard wall with her eyes, as if listening to the sound of firecrackers outside.

"Brother Jing," he shouted, and when he saw Lin Jing looking back at her, he ran back to the house, and Lin Zhenniang didn't call him again.

Because of the heat and mourning period, the Lin family did not buy firecrackers this year. Although it didn't have much impact on them, it was a lot less fun for Lin Jing.

Entering the main room, Chen had already gotten up and was wiping the tablet of Father Lin on the hall with a clean soft cloth.

Although she heard Lin Zhenniang come in, she didn't look back, but said lightly that she would worship her ancestors today, so Brother Jing would do it! ”

Thinking of the smug look Ruyu would have, Lin Zhenniang frowned. She hasn't yet, the Chen family has already said calmly that Brother Jing is your younger brother, your father's, the only male in the Lin family, and no one else can preside over the ancestor worship except him. ”

Turning his head and looking at Lin Zhenniang, Chen Wen said that you are not happy to see Ruyu's proud appearance, but, Zhenniang, there are some things that cannot be taken care of so much. ”

"I don't care...... Lin Zhenniang muttered, "My daughter can't worship her ancestors?" Am I not surnamed Lin? ”

Chen smiled, but just looked at her warmly, and didn't say anything else.

Lin Zhenniang pouted, and it was not easy to say anything else. Although the Song Dynasty was far less harsh on women than the later Ming and Qing dynasties, it was still inferior to men and women in the end. The idea of equality between men and women in later generations is a different theory here. If you want to worship your ancestors as a daughter, let alone Lin Zhenniang, no matter how status, status, and capable woman is, she can't win this qualification.

As soon as the inside and outside were cleaned, preparations began to be made for the worship of the ancestors. Because the Lin family moved to Dingtao in the last two generations, Dingtao does not have the ancestral hall of the Lin family. This ancestor worship can only be carried out at home, although it is also a solemn matter, but the scale naturally cannot be compared with everyone's big households.

Thinking about it, she had been mentally prepared for a long time, but Ruyu didn't show too much flamboyant smile at this time, maybe it should be said that she had been suppressing that smugness, standing behind, watching Lin Jing standing in front of the incense case to worship her ancestors, Ruyu pursed the corners of her mouth, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

Lin Zhenniang stood silently aside, from the beginning to the end, looking at Lin Jing, who was young but also made a solemn expression, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

This was the first time she felt so strongly about the inequality between men and women in this era. Obviously, she is also surnamed Lin, but Lin Jing can worship her ancestors when she is young, and she, the eldest daughter, can only watch from the sidelines, and she can't even serve the dishes used to worship her ancestors.

She really wanted to say that those dishes were made by her and Chen, and now if she is not allowed to serve them, what can she change?

Shaking her head, although Lin Zhenniang felt a little depressed, but on such a day, that little depression was quickly left behind by her.

This is her first New Year in Da Song, and it is also the first New Year for her to be accompanied by her mother, so she should spend it happily.

The Chinese New Year's Eve was spent at home. At this time, there was no habit of going to a restaurant for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner like in later generations. Whether poor or rich, as long as it is in the hometown, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten at home. Even, most people will not go out shopping in the Chinese New Year's Eve.

From the beginning, the family has begun to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Even Ruyu, who doesn't usually cook much, was busy, and even took Lin Jing to sit on the pony like a little adult to help pick vegetables.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is said that there must be meat, and there must be no less fish, but now that the Lin family is filial piety, these are not sticky at all. No matter how hungry you are, you can only eat vegetarian.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenniang bought a lot of tofu, large tofu, dried tofu, and made the appearance of chicken, duck and fish with bean skin and dried tofu, although the taste is still worse, but in the end, a table of dishes really looks like a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

When eating, Lin Dong was not allowed to eat alone in the front yard. Lin Zhenniang specially told the Chen family and invited Lin Dong Hall to have dinner together.

In the past, when Father Lin was there, no matter how much Lin Dong refused, he would be pulled together for dinner. When Lin's father went, Lin Dong always said that it was inconvenient, so he went to the front yard to eat alone. But today, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and no matter what, Dongbo could not be allowed to eat alone.

The five people ate, but there were six small tables, and the empty one on the top also had bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses. Chen's eyes turned, although he didn't, but his expression couldn't hide the sadness.

For the Lin family, this is the first New Year without a male host, even if they understand that what they lose will never come back, but the sadness in their hearts is still difficult to resolve.

Seeing Chen's expression, Lin Zhenniang hurriedly diverted her attention, "Mother, do you want to eat dumplings for a while?" Is it radish or celery? Just use tofu skin instead of meat, it's just as delicious - well, don't be lazy for a while, you have to reach out to help. It's in the hall, and when it's finished, it's just the right time. Let's keep the New Year while making dumplings this year......"

"Making dumplings for the New Year?" Chen put away his sad face, smiled and said "Do you still help? Where will Brother Jing and Dongbo be? Once upon a time, your father was a ...... of reading."

With a smile, Chen lowered his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little more bitter.

Lin Zhenniang didn't see it, "It's okay if Brother Jing doesn't know how to wrap it, just let him recite poems to us on the side - Brother Jing, how many poems can you recite, and I'll give you a few dumplings to eat?" ”

Lin Jing pursed her lips and argued forcefully, If I memorize 300 Tang poems, will you give me 300 dumplings to eat? ”

"Good! As long as you can recite 300 songs! Lin Zhenniang laughed, turned her head and smiled and asked Dongbo if he knew how to roll the skin? If I don't teach you, you'll have to roll out 300 dumpling wrappers in a while! ”

couldn't help but pull up the corners of his mouth, Chen looked at Lin Zhenniang, and then at Lin Jing with a flat mouth, his eyes flashed slightly, and he still laughed in the end.

It's the New Year! What she wants to see is also the new year......
