Chapter 33: Farming!
When Yuzhi returned to Liu's house, it was already late at night, and everyone else had turned off the lights and fell asleep, except for Red Ginseng, who was still waiting anxiously at the gate of the courtyard with a worried face.
The red ginseng holding the lantern said in a choked tone: "Sister Yuzhi, you can be regarded as back, if the maid can't wait for you, I will go to Heifeng Mountain to find the second master." ”
"The second master didn't come back?"
Seeing that the house between himself and Liu Er was dark, Yuzhi became lost for no reason.
Nodding slightly, Red Ginseng explained: "The people in Heifeng Village are troublesome, and it is common for the second master to go out and not return home for ten days and a half months. ”
After washing, Yuzhi went back to the room, before going to bed, she first glanced at the small rosewood box that Liu Er handed over to her for safekeeping, and made sure that the wooden box had traces of being moved, she couldn't help but sneer, and said in her heart: "Liu Sanmei's hands and feet are really not clean, fortunately, the red ginseng reminded me in time, I have hidden the silver ticket and the field deed in the wooden box in the space capsule, otherwise I will have to go to Liu Sanmei's way." ”
The space capsule shaped like a talisman worn by Yuzhi's neck is a high-tech product in the previous life, although the appearance is not the size of a capsule, but it is a space of its own, full of hundreds of millions of vegetables, melons, fruits, crops and other seeds that have been improved for countless generations, which can be called the crystallization of the development of the earth's agriculture to the peak.
Because her mind was full of Liu Er, Yuzhi couldn't fall asleep over and over, so she had a whimsical idea to go to the wasteland early tomorrow morning and reclaim all the fields under Liu Er's name to plant plants in various space capsules, so that she could not only satisfy her appetite, but also continue her mission as the captain of the Far Sky Special Combat Team in her previous life - to spread the civilization of the earth.
Thinking about it, Yuzhi fell asleep, and in a daze, she vaguely realized that she was surrounded by a pair of wide and powerful arms, lying in Liu Er's spacious and warm arms, which was very comfortable.
Early the next morning, when Yuzhi woke up, he was wondering if he had that kind of embarrassing dream, and saw the clothes that Liu Er wore when he went out yesterday and put them in front of the bed.
"So, although he is busy, he comes back to accompany me in the middle of the night?"
Thinking of this possibility, Yuzhi hurriedly went out to ask the red ginseng who was cleaning the courtyard, and said, "Did the second master come back last night?" ”
Red Ginseng's face was full of suspicion, and he said cautiously: "The second master only went out half an hour ago, you newlywed Yan'er, when you are the most glue-like, Sister Yuzhi doesn't know?" ”
Pretty face was slightly red, and Yuzhi hurriedly stammered: "I...... Of course I know he's been back, I'm just testing you. ”
Yuzhi got up very early today, just in time for Liu Lao'er to work in the field, she hurriedly put down the housework in her hand and said, "Dad, can I go to the field with you?" ”
Yuzhi thought in her heart that instead of fighting openly and secretly with a few women at home, it would be better to go to work in the fields and grow some seasonal vegetables that are not available in this world by the way.
Liu Lao'er naturally has his own plans, he saw the hard work of Yuzhi yesterday, with his daughter-in-law working, he can be lazy, why not? Without thinking, he agreed.
Liu Lao'er's wishful thinking crackled, and he stopped and stopped along the way, carefully pointing out the locations of the other fields in the family to Yuzhi.
Coming to yesterday's wheat seedling field, Liu Lao'er sat directly under the shade of the tree, panting and said: "Second daughter-in-law, I'm old, I'm really tired, you go to the field first, turn over the piece of land next to the wheat seedling field, and then plant bud rice." ”
Bud rice is corn, which is one of the main crops in Yizhou and even the entire Southern Jin Kingdom.
The bud rice is ground into flour and then boiled into porridge, which is the staple corn batter of ordinary people, and the staple food that poorer people eat more is bitter, astringent and extremely difficult to digest taro.
However, cornmeal batter is not as delicious as white rice, taro is not as good as potatoes, and as for the nutritional value, it is more one in the ground and one in the sky!
Although Yuzhi had never eaten pasta made from the wheat of this world, she could imagine just looking at the sick wheat seedlings all over the ground that the wheat in this world would not be as good as her previous life.
So Yuzhi couldn't help but say with great interest: "Dad, have you ever heard of potatoes?" The cornmeal batter is hard to eat, what kind of bud rice to plant, why don't we plant potatoes? There are also sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are sweet and fragrant, but delicious. As for the remaining wasteland, why don't we divert water to irrigate the fields and grow rice? ”
