This year, the weather is beautiful, the wind and rain are smooth, the harvest has increased by more than one percent compared with previous years, Chang'an is full of the joy of harvest, and even the passers-by are much more energetic than usual.

As soon as the wheat was dried on the field, the farmers pushed the carts to pay the rent. The back door of the palace leading to the grain depot was wide open, and the grain depot had already been cleaned up, and a dozen or so grain stacks circled with mats were greedily opening their mouths, just waiting for the new wheat to enter.

The old duo of Steward Qian and Hu Bookkeeper all changed into new clothes, and opened a posture at the back door before dawn, and a dozen or so subordinates who were waiting to pull grain stood majestically on both sides of the doorway, and the back door of the threshold was padded with thick planks on the cart. Four big sheds were set up at the door, the tables, chairs and benches were placed neatly, the pig bones were tumbling up and down in the hot cauldron outside the shed, the soup was fragrant, and nearly 100 flatbreads were piled up on the big mat next to it, like a hill. Hundreds of households went from house to house to rent and it took at least three days to complete, during which the families who rushed to rent could enjoy the hospitality of the Wang family and strive to eat well and be satisfied.

I had never seen this scene before, and according to Ying's instructions, I could only stand behind the door and watch, and I was not allowed to go out to mess with the farmers, as long as I didn't lose my dignity.

"Line up the cars, go to dinner first, and finish eating in the mistletoe!" Steward Qian shouted loudly at the villagers who came to pay the rent, "According to the instructions of the little marquis, in the next three days, the pot and helmet broth will be full, and the mother-in-law and the baby can bring mix." Onions and garlic come with it, no matter what you do! ”

The housekeeper's words caused a burst of laughter from the villagers, and they all rushed to the shed to eat.

Ying, Ying, and my second daughter and I all sat around the corner of the back door, watching the movement outside. "The bone broth is good, and the fragrant ground is very fragrant," now that the sky has just dawned for a while, and I haven't had time to eat breakfast, the aroma outside the door makes me a little unbearable, I scratch my stomach when I smell it, and I turn my head to the two ladies and say, "Why don't we try a bowl of one person?" ”

The second daughter immediately nodded in agreement.

"Nonsense, wait for breakfast, what are you squeezing with those guys?" Ying immediately vetoed it, dissatisfied with my proposal to have a shi identity, "The kitchen will be boiling fried noodles, bear with me." ”

"I've been drinking fried noodles for a while, getting hot, and drinking a bowl of pork bone soup is defeated," Seeing the farmers outside crouching under the shed, holding the soup bowl in one hand and the pot helmet in the other, eating like a happy dripping, I couldn't help it, "Why don't you get a bone in the pot and let me gnaw on it first, and I haven't gnawed it until now." You look at the housekeepers and the bookkeepers, each person gnaws a lot of joy. ”

The second daughter nodded in agreement.

Ying was amused by my appearance, "I've never seen you, the head of the house, robbing tenant farmers of food." If you want to eat, you say it yourself, and the concubine can't open her mouth. ”

"Okay, okay." I counted the heads and said with a smile: "The second daughter is one for me, do you want it?" ”

Ying glanced at me, "It's up to you two to make trouble." Poked a finger at the elated second daughter's head, "If you don't study well, you will be coaxed." While this will be fine, the concubine will go to prepare tomorrow's clothes, and after a while, the grain will enter the warehouse. Then he turned and left.

I gloated and looked at the second daughter and said, "Amazing, right? ”

The second daughter nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Qian, Uncle Qian," I called to the housekeeper in the tone of the agent's joint in the TV series, and Lao Qian cooperated with the standard joint action in the TV series, "Bones two, no, three." The meat is thicker, and there is a lot of pulp in it, fast! ”

The big bones in the basin of water, sprinkle a handful of salt and gnaw on the bones, and then the pot helmet, and drink a bowl of broth, and the whole body is full of energy. "Do you want another one?" I didn't think of my second daughter until I finished sweeping.

The second daughter pinched her oily fingers and nodded in agreement.

Let the housekeeper pick two more ****, "You one, and the other one will be sent to Mrs. to help her sprinkle the salt well." I took a piece of paper out and wiped the second daughter's oily face, "Take another pot helmet, hurry up!" ”

There was no imaginary bargaining, and the impression was that the landlord used the mistletoe to harm the tenants, and the incident of crying and wiping away tears did not happen. The farmer who pays the rent is happy, and the housekeeper who collects the rent is also happy, and each family only needs to report the harvest. The oversized mistletoe was left to dry like an ornament, and he was helplessly laid off. Everyone gathered together to talk about the common words, joke with each other, and talk happily about this year's good harvest, and reconcile the ruthless exploitation of the poor tenant farmers by the evil feudal landlords.

Since there is no white-haired girl, I, a yellow world, should quit, which is a bit of a pity.

Huang Shiren's two wives were sitting at the door of the grain depot waiting to seal the new grain. Incredible rules, I don't know if there is a scientific basis, according to my opinion, of course, the fresher the better, that there is a reason to let go of the old food.

I'm bored, I have nothing to do, it's not okay to go out to play with friends, everyone is busy at home, and it's too unreasonable to visit at this time. Usually when everyone is not busy, I am the busiest, but now that I am busy, I am like the extra people, hanging my hands on the side to bask in the sun, and even have the mind of going to the house to uncover the tiles. But even if you are idle and panicked, you deliberately block the plan to practice words in your mind, and you don't take the top prize, what kind of words do you practice, Lanling is really, the requirements are too high. "Someone! Bring me all the dogs guarding the yard, and I'm going to bathe the dogs, sir! ”

"When the grain is finished, let's go to the villa to rest for a few days, the lady is tired for a while," the two ladies who had been busy for a day leaned on the kang head, massaging each other to relieve fatigue, and I couldn't help but see it.

"It's going to take a few days, I have to go to the field to pick up wheat at the beginning, the concubine and the second daughter have to go, husband, you are watching at home, and the matter of Shangfeng will be entrusted." Ying lazily turned over and climbed onto the kang, "Second daughter, go and hang all the clothes for collecting wheat on the kang, and tomorrow I will dry in the sun for a day." ”

The second daughter listened to the wheat picking, and happily climbed the box to pick it up, and it seemed that she was a hard-working little girl.

After the wheat harvest, there are inevitably many scattered wheat grains in the farmland, and once the wheat harvest time is over, it is the rainy season, and the wheat grains moistened by the rain will quickly sprout and emerge, which is very wasteful. In ancient times, grain was not abundant, and legend has it that if a family grows more wheat seedlings in their fields, the next year's yield will be smaller, so it has become a superstitious tradition for women to go to the fields to collect wheat. From the queen to the village girl, they all have to follow this tradition and express their appreciation of God's gifts. (Li Shimin's wife, Empress Changsun, was an advocate of this movement, and although she had the taste of showmanship, she still won the respect of officials and the common people, and became the model queen that emperors of all dynasties dreamed of)

"Or I'll go with me tomorrow, and I'll leave the matter of sticking the seal to the next person," I'm bored today, so I want to go out for a stroll and experience the taste of sports that even the queen is passionate about, "I'm sharp-eyed, and I'll definitely pick up a lot." ”

"Whose man goes down to the ground to collect wheat, people can't laugh to death." Ying pulled my hand on her waist and turned her face to laugh at me, "Pinch, sour." Knowing that the husband has nothing to do at home, why don't you ask the housekeeper to pull a few more dogs back for you to wash? ”

"Hehe, I'm idle," he looked like the second daughter, and pressed it all over Ying's small waist, "Do you feel it?" Is it too small? Kanying buried her head in the crook of her arm and hummed, and she didn't know how effective my massage was.

"If you push harder, it'll be broken!" Ying Gu turned over and sat up, and slammed a few times on his waist, "But I'm going to die, hehe." It's good for the husband to endure it for a few more days, and after being busy for a while, let's go to the villa to rest. The concubine also wanted to go, and I heard from the lord of Qi that the insects in the mountains began to cry in March, and Chang'an City could only do it at the end of June. How do you open the thread on the sleeve? Take off the concubine's body and sew it on. Ying ripped open my sleeve and pulled out the broken thread, "Second girl, bring the needle and thread." also said that the clothes ordered outside were good, and they only wore them for a few days before they spoke, and they were not as strong as what the second daughter made for you. ”
