Chapter 285: Suspicion of a long life
The grain is prepared at the beginning, and after the land is reclaimed, it is the basic fertilizer of the soil, and when the wind blows in the wind of the wind ridge, so many people only feel that it is spicy to the eyes, and the smell is really smoky.
Shen Shiliu also knew that the conditions were "difficult", so he could only appease everyone and endure it for two days.
The preparations are done, the seeds are sown, after sowing and watering here, some greens are planted around, and the battlefield can not only eat beams, some greens can also not lack vitamins, and the body has fewer hidden dangers. And there are so many people brought this time, if you don't find something to go, you will definitely have to talk nonsense if you are idle.
In half a month, the seedlings also grew a little better, Shen Pomegranate taught to identify seedlings and weeds, many soldiers were born in Zhuanghu before conscription, and they recognized, but there were also those who could not distinguish the grains, and even the officials of the household department were confused, and Shen Pomegranate could not be taught.
"Madam, let's rest for a while, Master Du has instructed me to let the subordinate take care of Madame's daily life, I'm afraid that Madame will be tired."
The inspector of the household department is named Zhao Li, and he came to remind Shen Shiliu that this is also the wife of a first-class member of the imperial court, and if he is tired, they will not be able to afford it.
Shen Shiliu smiled and nodded: "It's okay, if I don't listen, I'm afraid you will have a whisper against me in your heart." ”
The inspector smiled bitterly, Shen Shiliu understood everything in his heart, but he didn't say anything, relying on his own ability to convince them.
"Okay, you are also responsible, I am afraid that something will go wrong in this grain planting, and it is reasonable to distrust me as a woman." Shen Shiliu said, they are all performing their own duties, and they must also understand each other.
Shen Shiliu went to the Huotou Army to take a look, this time the grain they brought was also coarse grain, what they could eat was jade flour cake and coarse grain porridge, the amount of flour and rice was small, and the ordinary soldiers below basically couldn't share much.
Shen Shiliu looked at it and said, "Lord Zhao, how many people can you find to go to the nearby village to see who has cows?" ”
"Cows that produce milk? How much? Zhao Li asked.
"About ten is enough, let everyone change into casual clothes, don't pretend to rongjia," Shen Shiliu said.
Zhao Liying went down, found someone and went.
Shen Pomegranate was not idle here, he took twenty or thirty people into the mountain, the place where they farmed was remote, and there was no one on the mountain, Shen Pomegranate took people to see if they could hunt, and by the way, they picked some mushrooms or something to go back to add food.
Shen Pomegranate looked around, there are still a lot of mushrooms in the mountains, she doesn't know many species, but there are so many kinds of non-poisonous she still recognizes, so she taught the soldiers to step on mushrooms, one afternoon, a lot of hares and pheasants are bigger, and they can be regarded as a lot of harvest.
"You guys go to the river first to clean up all the game, burn the hair directly with fire, don't throw away the intestines and stomach inside, wash it and bring it back!" Shen Pomegranate instructed, don't throw too much, it's a pity!
In the afternoon, Shen Pomegranate cleaned up the mushrooms, and she had to look at several large boxes of mushrooms one by one, so that no soldier missed anything, and if she got into a poisonous one, she would be pitted. Some of the wild mushrooms are left to dry, and some of them are blanched with boiling water first, and they can be put into the pot at night.
In the evening, the people sent out came back and brought back eight or nine cows, and although the breed was not very pure, it was fortunate that it could be used.
Shen Shiliu took the wooden bucket and began to milk it, and when the Huotou Army saw it, he also came over to help.
"Madam, where is this milk enough for more than a thousand people?" The firehead of the Firehead Army, Lao Liu, asked.
Shen Pomegranate: "Drinking is naturally not enough, but it can be used, after milking for a while, the cow will be led to the side to put it, so much grass, I can't be hungry!" ”
A few people squeezed a few large wooden barrels, and Shen Pomegranate began to study, and when the research was done, the fire was opened on the stove, and he did not forget to call all the people from the fire head army.
"Mix this cornmeal with milk and flour and add a little flour to it." Shen Shimei adjusted a large pot of batter, scooped a spoonful, and spread it directly on the hot pan into cakes.
"If there is a frying pan to get better, this pot will deal with it first, this pot can spread more than a dozen cakes, and you have several pots, and they will do the same!" After Shen Shimei finished speaking, he turned the cake over, and the leaking side was golden, and soon the aroma of milk wafted out.
Lao Liu Touer has been cooking in Huotoujun for many years, and what he makes is nothing more than those few things, but now these cakes are fresh.
Shen Pomegranate saw that the fire was almost over, so he took out one piece, killed a piece with his hand, soft and fragrant, and then broke a piece for Lao Liu'er.
"Come and have a taste!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile.
Old Liu Tou'er hurriedly took it, and the people below them also knew that this lady was the daughter-in-law of the prime minister, and unlike them, they accepted the cake in fear and ate it.
The cake is a lot softer, much smoother than the corn flour cake before, and I don't feel like scratching my throat when I swallow it.
"Good, that's good!" Old Liu Touer doesn't have any flowery rhetoric, but he really thinks it's good!
Shen Shiliu smiled: "Okay, just do this at night!" After saying that, she called a few more, and all the game over there was picked up, and she had to cook it.
The pure and good meat Shen pomegranate is directly separated, marinated with salt and five-spice powder, and then hung up to make jerky. The rest of the tendons, brains, and internal organs are all cut into small pieces to make soup. She started by relying on these broths, adding mushrooms she picked up, and adding some coarse grain corn, pot after pot of soup, and the fragrance spread far and wide, attracting soldiers to come and see.
As soon as the night darkened, Shen Pomegranate began to send rice, three palm-sized milky cakes per person, no one had two big spoons of broth, according to the amount of food of these young and strong forces, it was only just enough, and the dried meat would be sent out in a few days, even if it was basically the same.
"Madam, you're amazing!" Old Liu Touer admires that just such a little thing can make such a good thing!
Shen Shiliu smiled: "It's all everyone's credit, let's rely on the mountains to eat the mountains now, before this batch of grain is produced, I also have to let everyone have a full stomach, right?!" ”
Lao Liu Tou'er was convinced, their supply of grain and grass was also limited, if the distribution was not good, and they could not wait for the follow-up food supply, then they would also starve and stiffen. Now that Shen Pomegranate is here, everyone doesn't have to worry about starving!
After a busy day, Shen Shiliu also returned to her camp, everyone took care of her, gave her an independent camp, and could get a basin of hot water every day, the conditions were difficult, which was already good.
Shen Shiliu now misses the days when there were cucumbers and Xiaotie, and the two of them took care of her very quickly, and she couldn't take care of herself. It's just that there are rules in the barracks, there can be no women, and if she can come, it can be regarded as the emperor's permission, and cucumbers and Xiaotie must not be brought!
The days passed day by day, and when Shen Pomegranate took the soldiers to weed on weekdays, he could also find some wild vegetables, all of which were left, and there was no waste at all, and the two months finally looked a little effective.
Everyone was convinced by Shen Shimei, and the Huotou Army was even more forward-looking, she learned a lot of skills, and she could be liberated after teaching it once, and her life was a lot easier, except that there was no letter from Du Xuanmo.
I used to hear the poem "The beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand dollars", but now that I let myself put it on the table, I feel that it is really bad. Du Xuanmo's side belongs to the war zone, except for the war report and the news of the imperial court, basically ordinary letters have to be cut off. Shen Shiliu also took the time to send a letter to the family to report her safety, and the family's reply was also received, and the children were fine, but there was no news from Du Xuanmo, which made her feel uncomfortable.
In a blink of an eye, it was August, and the first stubble of greens was ready to be harvested, and Shen Pomegranate did not rush to send it away after harvesting, but stayed to eat it by himself.
"Madam, aren't you going to send it away?" Zhao Li had some doubts, the food he planted was not sent to the front line but eaten by himself, but how could it be good?
Shen Shiliu shook his head: "It's not that you don't send it away, it's that you don't send it away, it's not close to the northwest border from us, and now the season is not right, even if you ship it out, the road will be rotten." "It's not autumn yet, and everything will rot.
When Zhao Li heard this, he said: "Then we can't finish these green vegetables, the number is a bit too much." ”
"I didn't say I would eat it all, I kept some of it for myself, and the rest was sold directly in a nearby town, and exchanged for salt and seasoning." Shen Pomegranate arranged it, and it seemed that it was about to be winter, but this Fengling County was located in the south, and it would be feasible to plant some cold-tolerant varieties.
Zhao Li arranged for someone to change into civilian clothes and acted, and sold carts of vegetables one after another, in exchange for a lot of salt, Shen Pomegranate was very satisfied, but he didn't expect the accident to happen.
As soon as the beginning of autumn arrived, Shen Shimei's side began to harvest the first batch of grain, the quantity was very huge, Shen Shimei wondered if the corn that was guarded was going to be beaten first, and Zhao Li came outside, saying that the magistrate was coming.
As soon as Shen Shiliu heard that it was the magistrate who came, he asked everyone to stop first: "Just leave a team, and the rest will go into the mountain first!" She didn't want to cause panic in the place, and when she first came to Fengling County, she also came around, without passing through the town, and walking in the wild.
As soon as the people withdrew, there were more than a hundred people left here, and Shen Shiliu went out directly to meet the magistrate for a while.
Fengling County is located in the south, with a pleasant climate, which is very suitable for farming. The magistrate who came was not a county order or anything, but just a few county officials, seeing that there were so many people on Shen Shimei's side, he asked Shen Shiliu what they were doing.
"We were sent by the imperial court to grow grain, this is the ......" Shen Shiliu was wearing the emperor's edict and gold medal from his sleeve, but the official moved directly and pushed Shen Shimei.
Zhao Li was startled, and hurriedly blocked in front of Shen Shimei: "Bold, this is the imperial court, how can you push and shove casually?" ”
As soon as Zhao Li said this, the official laughed and shouted: "Brothers, come out!" ”
Shen Shiliu hurriedly looked over, it turned out that there were a lot of people behind these people, these few were just here to explore the truth, there were only more than 100 people left here, and there were many people over there, it was really hard to say that it was a fight.
"What are you doing here? Do you dare to rob the grain of the imperial court? Shen Shiliu also wondered, these people are really too long-lived?!
