Chapter Twenty-Seven: Growing Vegetables
After taking Xiao Yilin's pulse, Jing Yi gave Xiao Yilin's master and servant a reassuring pill, "Xiao Gongzi's health has improved a little, and his life will not be in danger for the time being." As long as you heal well in the future, you will get better soon. ”
Xiao Yilin, the master and servant, were all very happy when they heard it.
Gu Yu is eyebrows opened and smiled, "Young Master Chu is really a divine doctor." On this night, my son-in-law's face was much better. Thank you so much, Master Chu. ”
Although Xiao Yilin didn't laugh heartily, the corners of his mouth also curled, this was the best news he had heard since he was poisoned and sick, and it was also the happiest day. His body was saved, and he had a premonition that the boy would heal him.
Coming out of the wing, Jing Yi began to prepare breakfast. The foreground is fermented according to a piece of noodles specially set aside, and it can become a steamed steamed bun with noodles.
Last night, Jingyi used flour fertilizer and a large pot of noodles, which has been completely fermented this morning. In order to prevent the steamed steamed buns from becoming sour, Jingyi also prepared a special plant ash water. After a night of precipitation, the gray water of the plants and trees is also very clear, and it is just right to use.
Grass ash contains alkali, and the alkaline components will be dissolved in water after soaking in water, which is the most primitive alkaline water. Of course, the grass used to burn grass and wood ash is also selected, and not all kinds of grass can be used.
In the morning, Jingyi tried to steam a pot of steamed buns, which were not bad, and the steamed buns were soft and had a smell of flour. At this time, the flour is still relatively coarse, and the steamed steamed buns are not snow-white, some yellow, but they are also very good.
Jingyi also asked Qiao Yan to boil millet porridge, she made some small pickles, and scrambled eggs.
Yesterday, Feng Zhi brought back a tonic with bird's nest, and Jing Yi made a bowl of bird's nest porridge for Xiao Yilin.
The steamed buns are soft and easy to digest, the eggs are nutritious, and Xiao Yilin can also eat them.
Qiao Hong put down the food and said, "This is a kind of pasta made by my son-in-law, called steamed buns." A few to taste. ”
After Qiao Hong left, Xiao Yilin picked up a white flour steamed bun and broke off a piece and put it in his mouth, the taste was soft and delicious, with a sweet taste of flour, no sourness, it was really delicious.
There are also people in the palace who have made this kind of pasta, but there is a sour taste, I don't know how this Chu Gongzi got rid of the sour taste.
Xiao Yilin pointed to the steamed buns on the table and said to Gu Yu and Feng Zhi: "It tastes very good, you can eat it too." ”
Gu Yu took a bite of the steamed bun and nodded, "It's delicious, this steamed bun smells fragrant." This side dish is also delicious. ”
After breakfast, Xiao Yilin still drank the medicine that Jing Yi boiled for him.
Xiao Yilin finished taking the medicine, and Jing Jing instructed Qiao Hong to turn over the ground in the backyard, and then went into the mountain with the basket on his back. This time she picked some herbs and hunted a few pheasants and hares. When I went back, I had some game to eat.
On the way home, Jingyi saw the river not far away, and walked to the river, she put down her back basket and put her hand into the water in a place where there were many water and grass.
She directly used her ability to wrap a large carp in the aquatic weeds in the river, and then dragged the carp in front of her, and she caught the carp directly.
In the same way, Jing Yi caught two large carps, and then used a few reeds to string the carp and brought them home.
Qiao Hong saw that his son-in-law had gained a lot again, so he took the things and looked at the two big carps and asked in surprise: "Childe, where did you get this fish?" ”
Jing Yi said: "I caught it, there are many people in the family, you cleaned up the two fish, let's stew the fish at noon." ”
Qiao Hong readily agreed, and went to clean up the carp.
Jing Yi dried the herbs that she had picked up from the mountain before, and she saw that there were just a few herbs that could be used by Xiao Yilin.
There are a lot of herbs in this mountain, and she can often go into the mountains to collect herbs in the future.
Jing Yi went to the backyard to see how much Qiao Hong had turned over, and when he saw that the ground in the backyard had been turned over, it was too fast.
She returned to the front yard and asked, "Qiao Hong, you turned over the ground in the backyard?" ”
Qiao Hong shook off the water in his hand and stood up and replied, "Childe, the ground in the backyard was turned over by Brother Gu, Brother Feng and me. They watched me turn over the ground, and when they learned that you were going to grow vegetables, they went over the ground with me. They're a lot faster than I do. ”
As soon as Jing Yi heard that this was the case, she said that Qiao Hong could not have turned over the ground in the backyard in one morning.
But now she can grow vegetables in her backyard. She can also harvest a batch of vegetables before winter.
She bought several vegetable seeds such as Chinese cabbage, spinach, radish, and coriander, and she also had celery, rape, and leek seeds in her hand, which could be planted. It's autumn now, and these vegetables should be harvested by winter, so it's a big deal to use the ability. I don't know how cold the winter will be here.
At noon, Jingyi made delicious fish fillet porridge for Xiao Yilin. The other fish were braised with a circle of rolls on the side of the stewed fish. Some of the rolls were soaked in fish soup in the pot, and it was very delicious. Jing Yi was afraid that the staple food would not be enough, so she asked Qiao Hong to stew rice.
However, the braised fish tastes worse without soy sauce, and Jing Yi is eager to make soy sauce and miso too. The soy sauce and miso she made before were still drying in the yard, and now that the miso was almost ready, the soy sauce would have to wait a little longer.
She didn't make much soy sauce before, and she was going to buy more soybeans and make a few more jars of soy sauce. After all, this daily cooking is inseparable from soy sauce.
In addition to the braised fish, Jingyi asked Qiao Yan to fry two more dishes.
Xiao Yilin ate fish fillet porridge and tasted braised fish, which boosted his appetite and ate a lot. But he didn't dare to eat the rolls, this one was harder, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to restrain it.
Gu Yu and Feng Zhi ate with relish. The four people in Jing Yi's family didn't eat as much as Gu Yu and Feng Zhi.
Xiao Yilin looked at the two subordinates who could eat so well and said, "Don't be idle all day, help the Chu family do more work." ”
Feng Zhi nodded and said, "Son, we helped Qiao Hong turn over the ground in the backyard in the morning, and he said that his son-in-law wants to grow vegetables." Don't look at this young man Chu, he knows a lot of things, he can even grow vegetables, and he doesn't know what his family was like before, he can teach such a knowledgeable child. ”
Gu Yu said: "Let's not care so much, as long as Gongzi Chu can cure our son-in-law's body." ”
In the afternoon, Jingyi began to tidy up the vegetable furrow and plant vegetables, and Gu Yu and Feng Zhiyi also helped, and they were responsible for fetching water and watering the ground. Jingyi is in charge of planting.
The seeds have all been treated by Jing Yi with abilities, and they will sprout quickly when planted in the ground.
Although she doesn't let vegetables grow immediately, she will also speed up the growth of some vegetables without being suspected.
With the help of Gu Yu and Feng Zhi, the vegetables in the backyard were planted in one afternoon. Because of the problem of solar terms, Jingyi also planted several vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, spinach, radish, coriander, leek, rape, and celery.
Most of these are leafy vegetables that can be eaten when they grow up. She is also going to dig a cellar to store vegetables later.
Now there are two strong laborers, Gu Yu and Feng Zhi, just for them to contribute.
There are no crops such as potatoes and corn here, so she will have to pay attention to the alien species in the future.
Jingyi plans to optimize the seeds of wheat, rice, soybeans and other food crops, at least to increase the production of these grains.
