There is no way to rescue bad seedlings, and there is no way to ask Taoist priests to do what some people guess, but to honestly straighten the seedlings that have not completely died, water, and fertilize.

Five acres of fields, Zhou Mujiao and Zhao Yunjing do not say that each seedling is personally helped to take care of it, but the water in each field is put by Zhou Mujiao personally, and the fertilizer is also mixed by Zhou Mujiao personally, Zhao Yunjing and several officials personally took the lead in sprinkling, not to mention anything else, as far as they do everything themselves, it is worthy of the applause of the people of Nanjiang City, not to mention the wisdom shown by Zhao Yunjing's gang when dealing with the flood before this.

Originally, I thought that no matter how busy the Zhao couple was, it would be in vain, but from the third day, those destroyed seedlings actually stood up straight and raised their heads again, and some of them actually sprouted!

This is...... Saved?

Hu Quan couldn't believe it, his face was about to fall to the seedlings, and his eyes were about to stare out of the window, and he didn't see whether those sprouts were fake or real.

Or other villagers helped him confirm: "It's really a sprout, Hu Quan, your rice seedlings are alive!" ”

Although nearly a quarter of the seedlings in a field have been removed, it is better than not having one tree left, that is, only half an acre of two acres remains, and it is better than no grain harvest in the autumn.

After another two days, the seedlings were all green, shallow, and a gust of wind blew, and they swayed from side to side, very delicate, as if they would be broken at any time, and when the wind passed, they stood stubbornly in the field, very resilient.

These seedlings have indeed survived.

The people were naturally convinced by Zhao Yunjing and his wife, and let out their words, saying that if Zhao Yunjing asked them to plant and do anything in the future, they would not ask why, and just follow along.

Nie Shuang observed in the dark for five or six days before he appeared, and he went to see Li Changyi before going to find Zhao Yunjing.

Zhao Yunjing was studying with Hu Peiran and He Jiu how to carry out next year's spring ploughing work, when Xie Jiang led Nie Shuang in.

"Lord Zhao has worked hard, and the lower officials feel deeply guilty."

Zhao Yunjing raised his eyebrows slightly, and directly picked out his words: "Lord Nie has been in the city these days, how do you see the excitement?" Enough of that? ”

Nie Shuang was a little apprehensive, and hurriedly confessed: "My lord is angry, when Xia Guan first arrived in Nanjiang City, he was not familiar with anything, so he didn't dare to show up rashly...... Now it seems that it is the heart of the villain. ”

"Since you are here, this yamen affairs will be handed over to Lord Nie, Xiao Ran, wait for you to handle the handover with Lord Nie, and the rest of the people will go out of the city with me."

On the way to Nie Shuang, he was ready to be embarrassed by Zhao Yunjing, who knew that Zhao Yunjing just teased and lightly pressed it and didn't mention it, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel right.

Hu Peiran went to get the file, so he asked the entourage beside him: "Master Yang, what does Lord Zhao mean by this?" ”

Master Yang stroked his goat's whiskers and said: "My lord, this Lord Zhao is able to speak in front of the emperor, the emperor values him very much, if he really doesn't mention this matter, then the adult doesn't have to worry too much, if he will settle the account after the autumn, then the adult, we must also be prepared to deal with it first, this Nanjiang City's parents official, from now on, it is you." ”

Nie Shuang pondered for a moment and nodded: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, master, let people follow Zhao Yunjing." ”

As everyone knows, the conversation between the two was listened to by Hu Peiran, and Hu Peiran told Zhao Yunjing about it that night, and Zhao Yunjing just smiled.

"It doesn't matter how he prevents me, as long as he is sincere to the people, as an official in the court, it is not enough to have a pure heart, but also know how to protect himself. This Lord Nie is a smart person. ”

Now there are three groups of forces in Nanjiang City, Nie Shuang, the magistrate of the county, Zhao Yunjing's promotion group, and the last wave is Li Changyi, but after Li Changyi rescued the rice seedlings in Nanfeng Village, he rarely appeared in front of everyone, but every time he appeared, there was only one Sijiu by his side, and those guards lurking in the shadows seemed to have left overnight.

The tripartite checks and balances, the surface is calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent in private, but fortunately, everything is safe.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Mujiao pulled Zhao Yunjing down to the river, and fished up a bucket of palm-sized crabs from the Donglan River outside the city.

The crab is naturally steamed, and the original flavor is the best, but the dipping water is also exquisite, Zhou Mujiao came up with a unique recipe, the dipping water is not only fragrant, but also does not take away the umami of the crab itself.

Stir-fried snails should be spicy to be more delicious, it just so happened that the pepper she planted in the pot grew out, put a few and stir-fry, it was called a fragrant and refreshing;

The fish was braised and the shrimp was wrapped in a layer of flour and then fried, fried to a golden yellow, in addition to Zhou Mujiao also made hanging roast chicken, sour plum goose, boiled tangerine peel duck soup, plus the Nanjiang dishes made by the cook, and a table was full.

A whole table of dishes, everyone is the most curious about crabs, because no one has eaten crabs before, because its appearance is very terrifying, everyone thinks that it is poisonous and can not be eaten, so although this crab is steamed to golden butter bright color, everyone only dares to look at it, and does not dare to move chopsticks.

Zhou Mujiao didn't speak, she took one directly, lifted the crab shell, ate the tender crab roe inside, cut the crab legs, and ate the tender white meat inside.

Everyone was stunned and asked how it tasted?

Zhou Mujiao still had something in her mouth, Zhao Yunjing poured her a cup of tea for her to get tired of, and replied on her behalf: "The taste is delicious, and it tastes different when dipped in water, as for what it tastes like, I can't describe it in the next moment, you might as well try it yourself." ”

The Zhao family and his wife both ate it, and the others naturally did not suspect that the crab was highly poisonous, so Li Changyi was the first to take it, and ate it like Zhou Mujiao, and the rest of the people also started to eat, and everyone widened their eyes when they ate the first bite.

"It turns out that this horrible thing tastes so delicious! How much did we miss in the past! ”

Zhou Mujiao smiled: "It's no wonder that you haven't eaten it, one is because this thing does look terrifying, and second, even if you know that it can be eaten, you big families will generally think that it is a vulgar thing and is not qualified to be on your dinner table." ”

As she spoke, she poured the crab paste into her own rice noodles, poured a little dipping water and ate it like this, and people watched her eat it, only thinking that she was eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

- What is vulgar or not, as long as it can be eaten, as long as it is delicious, then it is a good crab!

Time flies, and a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the seedlings in the field are all hanging their heads, and at a glance, their eyes are full of gold.

The village's grain guards patrolled more diligently, for fear that someone would come to the grain fields at the last minute.

Fortunately, everything is in danger, and the rice can be harvested.
