Chapter 56: Choosing a Farming Match (6)

After the meal, there is a cup of lychee sweet soup, no rock sugar, but the natural sweetness of lychees is boiled.

A dozen lychees are placed in a clay pot, and the sweetness is just right.

"Mama, when Ming'er leaves, you will leave bags of grain for the master's family, and reward them with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Let's just say, I enjoyed today's dinner. ”

Mama Feng should be down.

Sleepless nights.

This seems to be the most restful sleep Xu Yin has slept in since she wore this book.

In the eyes of the subordinates, entering the fiefdom of King Jinnan, they must not leave the fief without the imperial edict, and the four girls must be unhappy in their hearts.

Only she knows what this means - a big twist of fate for cannon fodder.

Yes, she drank a bowl of porridge more than usual for breakfast, stewed soft and glutinous red bean millet porridge, Chunlan added a spoonful of honey to her, and it tasted sweet and silky.

The people below carried her belongings into the carriage one after another while she was having breakfast.

Mama Feng took the time to meet the master's house, and left the rice, flour, grain and oil that the girl confessed last night.

The host's family is indescribably grateful.

It was the first time they had seen a nobleman at the level of a prince, and they were nervous, so they used the only types of ingredients in the clan to send some food to the nobles.

Even so, except for the youngest son, who had nothing to do this night, everyone else slept extremely restlessly, for fear that they would accidentally offend the nobles and bring disaster to the family.

Unexpectedly, the nobles not only did not offend them, but also rewarded them with food and spices.

The patriarch led the clan excitedly, and knelt and kowtowed in the direction of the nobleman's residence from a distance through the human wall blocked by the guards.

The representative of the female dependents was led over by Mama Feng to thank her in person.

Xu Yin didn't dare to accept such a big gift from them, so she hurriedly asked them to get up and asked the maids to move a few stools in.

As soon as they were full, it was not suitable to take the car immediately, so they pulled them to chat for a while.

"Isn't your harvest bad here?"

The patriarch's wife, who was at the head of the group, was nervous and excited, stood up and said solemnly:

"You don't know, we have few flat and regular fields here, and the crops we grow are not very good. In the early years, there were people who went into the mountains to hunt some game and go to the city to exchange food, but the miasma in the mountains became more and more poisonous year by year, not to mention the elderly, the young and young generations couldn't carry it, and every family had a hard time......

I didn't dare to say that the taxes gradually increased, the burden became heavier and heavier, and I risked my life to go into the mountains, and the wild meat I harvested, where I was willing to eat it, was transported to the capital city to exchange for grain. Rao is like this, and he hasn't eaten enough for several years.

The patriarch's wife raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Let the nobles smile." ”

Xu Yin shook her head: "It's okay." ”

After thinking about it, he said to the patriarch's wife: "The rice harvest is low, and the terrain conditions here are actually more suitable for growing sweet potatoes." You don't need regular land, and you don't need to be carefully served, you can plant anywhere at the foot of the mountain, even on the mountain. Otherwise, I will provide you with some sweet potato seeds from the north, which are just in time for spring ploughing, and the wind and rain are good luck, and you may be able to plant two crops a year. ”

The patriarch's wife was so excited again that she wanted to kneel and kowtow, but was stopped by Xu Yin.

She asked Mama Feng to take someone to carry the sweet potatoes in the second mule cart.

That's the high-yielding sweet potatoes she asked the system to exchange.

The yield of sweet potatoes in the Central Plains of this dynasty is low, but the taste of sweet and glutinous is very good, and it is more suitable for dried candied potatoes as snacks than making grain.

She took the opportunity to change a batch and hoarded it in the system warehouse.

"Do you grow beans here?" Xu Yin asked again.

Straw beans and horse beans are the names of this dynasty, in fact, they are soybeans, which were eaten by horses, mules and other livestock before the invention of tofu.

People also eat it, but because they eat too many beans, they are prone to stomach bloating, and they are generally eaten as condiments or snacks.

"There are seeds, but not many, and all the land that can be planted is planted with crops."

"Straw beans do not pick the ground, and can be interplanted with corn, planting corn in the middle, planting straw beans on both sides, and rotting bean leaves and branches after maturity can also provide nutrients for corn fields."

The patriarch's wife exchanged glances with the other ladies in surprise.

Some people in the clan originally proposed that planting corn was too wasteful, but the corn sticks with high poles, wide leaves, and knots were pitiful. It's still harder, let's plant rice, no matter how little the harvest is, we can produce two crops a year if we work hard.

Today, there are noble people who guide them to interplant straw beans in the corn field.

This is equivalent to two crops in one land, and two crops can be harvested at once.

Besides, the noble man also said that no matter how many beans she planted, she would buy them, and she would collect as much as she could.

The patriarch's wife and others once again thanked Xu Yin.

Xu Yin waved her hand.

"Have you seen this?"

She drew a picture of sugar cane with charcoal.

Charcoal is in the post station when staying, find someone to do, brush words practice is OK, when the ordinary writing pen she is not used to.

The patriarch's wife shook her head when she saw it.

Xu Yinxin guessed that sugarcane sugar production may not have become popular.

Along the way south, she tasted all kinds of sugar, including honey, starch sugar, and earth rock sugar made from sugar beets, but she had never seen brown sugar and white sugar made from sugar cane.

"This is called sugar cane, and you will pay attention to it in the future, this is very easy to grow, and when it is ripe, it can be cut into pieces and eaten as fruit, and the taste is extremely sweet. The head can survive by sticking it into the soil, and if it is planted one day, it can be sent to the ...... with the beans

Xu Yin paused, turned her head to look at Mama Feng: "Mama, what's the name of the place where we live?" ”

Mama Feng was speechless: "Baigui County Mansion City Jinnan Palace." ”

Xu Yin told the patriarch's wife that if the sugarcane was planted, she was willing to exchange grain and cloth with them.

In fact, what she has in the system warehouse is sugarcane, an excellent variety cultivated in the peasant girl's era, but unfortunately she didn't see the shadow of sugarcane all the way south, so it is inconvenient to take it out.

She had a vague idea in her heart: she wanted the people of Lingnan to grow sugarcane and soybeans on a large scale.

Sugarcane makes sugar, brown sugar She has a secret recipe, which is the ancient recipe of brown sugar.

Even in later generations, the ancient recipe of brown sugar is a highly respected existence.

She has never made white sugar, but it is said that a drench of yellow muddy water can make the caramel-colored sugar water white. I haven't operated it specifically.,Go back and find out if the system mall has this kind of skill book.,It's really not.,You can also try it with your impression.。

For soybeans, she wants to try soy sauce.

Soy sauce stuffed with fresh meat has a high cost and a higher selling price, so if you can make a low-cost soy sauce, you will definitely make a fortune.

Seeing that Xu Yin had not come out for a long time, Yan Kejin glanced in the direction of the patriarch's house and asked his subordinates what was going on.

Yan Qi inquired and replied: "The princess tasted the food sent by the master's family last night, and felt very satisfied, and rewarded them with some food, and the patriarch was grateful, and asked the female relatives to go over to thank her." ”

Yan Kejin chuckled: "She has changed a lot. ”

In the past, how could Miss Xu Si have such a good heart?

In front of her master's house, it would be nice to kick over the coarse food in her eyes.
