Chapter 66: Entering the Forbidden Garden
As he spoke, the saint had changed into civilian clothes and came in.
Seeing that Lin Song's father and son were kneeling neatly, the sage was busy laughing and helping Lin Ruhai up with his own hands, and said with a smile:
"You're still like that. We have also been friends since childhood, I have always regarded you as a brother, but you only have a monarch in your eyes. It's not as good as my little nephew. ”
As he spoke, the sage pulled Lin Song up, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Don't call me Uncle Huang, he is always like this, you call me a few times Uncle first, I'll listen." ”
Lin Song glanced at Lin Ruhai and lowered his head and pretended to be cowardly. Sure enough, I heard the saint laugh and laugh:
"If you just left Yuquan Palace, now that you see Lao Tzu, are you completely forgotten? Don't be afraid of him, you only listen to me, call me uncle, call me quickly! ”
"Uncle." Lin Songzi shouted obediently when he saw a cat.
The sage became more and more happy, and took Lin Song's hand and sat down. Seeing that Lin Song was tall, he asked his age. Hearing that he was not yet fifteen years old, he turned around and asked Lin Ruhai how he raised it. Seeing that Lin Song was gradually becoming more lively, he suddenly smiled again:
"I've heard your father say it all. You don't like to read, you love to tinker with those evil ways, and you spend your days practicing guns and growing vegetables. In my opinion, how can there be any evil ways? If your martial arts are good, I will make you a general in the future; If you like farming, you will be a farmer in the future, and it will be for the country and the people! ”
Speaking of this, the sage called the prince who was sitting in a precarious position again, and said with a smile: "You took care of the forbidden garden a year ago, and let your brother follow you in the future." He's young, you take care of him more. As he spoke, he handed Lin Song's hand to Qin Zhao.
"Yes." Qin Zhao nodded hurriedly.
The saint smiled again:
"He thinks you're not doing your job, but I think everything you do is good, and you can do it with peace of mind. Don't be afraid of him taking care of you, move in in a few days and live with your eldest brother. If there's anything missing, just look for your big brother. ”
Let's talk about it. Seeing that Lin Ruhai was about to speak on the side, the sage confessed again: "I know you, don't touch the family law when you go back." ”
"Your Majesty......"
"Don't scold." As he spoke, the sage laughed again and asked Lin Song how he got the corn seeds.
Lin Song said a little dazedly: "I don't know very well, suddenly appeared, and there was a voice saying that it was something that could be eaten." I also talked about how to eat. ”
"How to eat?"
"Corn that is not fully ripe can be directly picked and peeled and boiled directly in water. It is said to be soft and glutinous and sweet.
When it is ripe, the corn kernels are peeled off, which can be ground into flour and eaten like flour. The rest of the corn cob is dried, and like the stalks, it can be used for fire.
You can also soak the corn kernels until soft and make a side dish. Or chop the corn into several sections, boil bone broth, etc. ”
"It's hard for you to remember all the food. Do you know when to plant? The saint asked with a smile.
In Lin Song's previous life, the only thing he had ever planted was a cactus. As for corn, he only saw large fields of corn on a business trip in the summer, on the way to the field by car.
"All I remember is growing up in the summer. It can be staggered with winter wheat, and the interval between each ridge can be used for people to bend down and drill directly into it. ”
After Lin Song finished speaking, he saw a eunuch as thin as a hemp stalk writing his words. As soon as he finished writing this sentence, he tore it off and sent it to the Forbidden Garden.
The sage saw Lin Song and smiled: "Don't pay attention to him, he is a historian, and he remembers everything good and bad." ”
How dare Lin Song say more about the historian's not.
The saint was still smiling very gently, faintly revealing Qin Che's sense of informality. He asked Lin Song and the crown prince Qin Zhao to go to the Forbidden Garden together.
Qin Zhao, who was much older than Lin Song, said with a smile on the road: "Zisong, you are the only one who can please the emperor's grandfather and father at the same time." ”
Lin Song pretended to laugh stupidly, and said in his heart: Happy is not for me, but for corn.
I got into a carriage at a palace gate.
As Qin Zhao went up, Qin Zhao looked at Lin Song and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, you were supposed to be about my age.
That year, Lin Hou went suddenly, your father kept filial piety for three years, and then your mother kept filial piety for another three years. came and went, a few years have passed, and it is finally a good story, but it is difficult to have children.
I finally had your sister and brother, and a few years ago, there were rumors that you died. My father told me in private, I am afraid that your father will be sad and difficult to last. Later, when you came to the capital, I heard that you were doing well, and my father was happy for a long time. ”
Qin Zhao said, patted Lin Song's hand, and said with a smile: "Your family has always had the strictest family education. What's more, you are the only one, let you follow me, my father is afraid that Uncle Lin will discipline you too strictly. You will play with me more in the future, and I also know that those in Rongguo Mansion will not succeed, so you don't pay attention to them in the future. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled again: "I was wrong, there will be someone to play with you in the future." ”
Lin Song smiled: "Great. ”
Qin Zhao also smiled, thinking about what the sage had confessed, it was expected that Lin Song hadn't really played anything.
After arriving at the Forbidden Garden.
Qin Zhao led Lin Song to see the corn that had been planted.
It's still February, and the three seeds planted have been germinating for half a month.
All three were wilted, but only a palm's high. It doesn't look like corn, but like an unknown weed.
Lin Song smiled when he saw it: "It's still cold, it's too early to plant." ”
The people here in the Forbidden Garden also know that it is early, not the season for sowing. It's just that there is a life on it, plant three seeds and give it a try.
But the man was brought by the prince, and he first received the word of the saint.
When the people in the Forbidden Garden heard Lin Song's words, they didn't explain, and they all nodded yes.
Seeing Lin Song comparing the spacing again, they smiled and said:
"One person wide? Wouldn't it be too wide? ”
"I'm afraid it's still narrow." Lin Song thought about it, picked a tall one, and said, "The highest place, maybe higher than him." The leaves are large leaves with much larger voids in the middle than wheat. At least one person can bend over and get into it easily. ”
"How much can you knot?"
"You can bear one or two of each plant." Lin Song looked at the three wilting corns and said:
"But like this, it's good to be able to grow."
The people in the Forbidden Garden nodded and said with a smile: "If you can grow one, you will have a big stick that can be used as a staple food, and it can also be staggered with wheat, so that you will not delay sowing again." It's an amazing thing, and how many people can be fed. ”
"Feed the people with corn?" Lin Song was stunned.
"Those tenants and poor peasants, it is good to be able to feed their stomachs." Several officials of the forbidden garden laughed disappreciably, and talked about the possibility of large-scale planting after there was more corn.
With a smile, he asked Lin Song if he could plant it in areas where there was no winter wheat.
Lin Song told everything he knew.
These people are still asking, "Is that all?" ”
"That's all. If you ask again, I can only say the relevant recipes that I know. Lin Song stood beside Qin Zhao and looked at Qin Zhao as if asking for help.
Qin Zhao laughed and said, "Spare him." He's just tall. ”
