Chapter 57 Trying to Plant Winter Wheat

On the night after the people of Jingwangfu transported vegetables from Yunxi Village, Xiao Yilin received a letter from Xiao Zhen.

Looking at the content of the letter, Xiao Yilin felt a bad breath, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Gu Yu looked at his prince's happy appearance and asked, "Prince, is there any good news from the chief manager?" ”

Xiao Yilin directly gave the letter to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu took the letter and read it, and Feng Zhi also came to see what the news was.

Gu Yu was also very happy when he read the letter, "It's really relieving now." The wind is so good that King Xuan was seriously injured, and now look at how rampant he is. ”

Feng Zhi looked at the letter and said with a smile: "This King Xuan is also enough, the horse can be seriously injured if he jumps out of the car, and he also breaks a leg, maybe he will become lame in the future." If he really becomes a cripple, then he really has no chance of being on the throne. ”

Gu Yu looked at Feng Zhibai, who didn't have a door, and glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense outside, be careful of causing trouble for the prince." ”

Feng Zhi shrunk his neck, "It's not like you're not outside." I'm just happy. ”

Xiao Yilin said with a smile: "Feng Zhi is right, if Xiao Yitai's leg is really lame, then his father will definitely not pass on the throne to him." Then we'll save a lot of money. However, there are many doctors with excellent medical skills in the capital, and Xiao Yitai should not be in a big problem. But this time it can be regarded as a warning to him, so that he will not be so rampant in the future.

We have to go back to the capital sooner or later, and this is a good start. Write a letter to Manager Xiao, asking him to continue to send people to secretly pay attention to the news in the capital, and report back immediately if there is any change. ”

After Jingyi's 100 acres of vegetables were harvested, she let the long-term workers turn over the ground, and she was ready to plant winter wheat.

The seeds of this winter wheat were obtained by using the wheat seeds she collected to refine little by little. This first year is also a trial to see. If it succeeds, the field can be planted with two crops.

The people here are all planting a crop, and the yield per mu is relatively low, of course, the harvest grain is less, and then remove the taxes to be paid, there is not much left in a year, and it is no wonder that many farmers are not full of food, and most of the year is mixed with wild vegetables to barely eat. There is no surplus food at home.

This is also the reason why Lin Xiuhan is very concerned about Jingyi's trial planting of winter wheat. If we can really grow two crops a year, it will greatly alleviate the food pressure in Hui'an County and even Huizhou Prefecture.

If it is implemented in the southern region of the Jin Kingdom, it will be a great thing for the Jin Kingdom.

The fields were turned over and then fertilized in the fields, of course, Jingyi's homemade organic fertilizer.

This can be regarded as a base fertilizer for wheat.

When she started planting winter wheat, Jingyi used all the horses in her family. He has a horse in his own house, and the horse that pulls the carriage in Jingwangfu is also requisitioned by Jingyi, and the three horses pull the plough together, and they can cultivate three ridges of land at one time, which is very fast.

The villagers were very puzzled when they saw that the Chu family still had to farm in winter, the weather was already cold, and this crop could still grow.

However, everyone also knows that Chu Gongzi is capable, maybe he can really do it. If it does, they can also learn to farm in winter.

There is a lot of strength in many, and a hundred acres of land can be cultivated in a few days.

The villagers have been paying attention to the situation of the Chu family's farming, and they saw that the plough used by the Chu family to plough the land was very easy to use, and the ploughing ground was deeper, so they asked the village chief to come forward and see if they could also recruit them to make it like this.

After Jing Yi's drawings of the mouldboard plough, she had already given Xiao Yilin, and Xiao Yilin had also begun to let people promote the use of the mouldboard plough in Huizhou Prefecture. Of course, the villagers would not hide it if they wanted to use Jingyi, and directly gave the drawings to the village chief and asked the villagers to find the village chief.

After the winter wheat is planted, there is basically no work in the field this year. Several people in Jingyi's family began to deal with the dishes that they kept for themselves.

Spinach is bundled one by one, burying the roots in the soil, and covering the spinach with straw so that the spinach can be preserved for a long time.

The cabbage Jingyi left outside the cellar directly pickled two jars of sauerkraut. Because there are no chili peppers, spicy cabbage can't be made this year, and we have to wait until next year. Radishes are also pickled and some are eaten as pickles.

The radishes in the cellar are also buried in the soil and can be well preserved. The cabbage is removed from the bad leaves, and the leaves are neatly stacked in the cellar. In this way, at least the vegetables are guaranteed in winter.

The chickens and ducks at home also need to put some chopped cabbage for feeding, so there is a lot of cabbage Jingyi. This can be related to the supply of eggs and duck eggs at home.

Because of the bumper harvest of radish, Jing Yi asked the quick Feng Zhi to cut a few dry radishes into shredded radish, and then put white noodles, bean noodles, and various seasonings to start frying radish balls in a large pot.

The aroma of croquettes permeated the sky over the courtyard, and the first pot of croquettes came out of the pot Jingyi was distributed to everyone to try.

Feng Zhi had been waiting beside him, he was the first to eat croquettes, and he gave Jing Yi a thumbs up while eating, "Hmm, it's so delicious." Young Master Chu, you really have the ability to turn stones into gold, this ordinary radish is so fried by you is simply a delicacy in the world. ”

Jing Yi served two large bowls of croquettes and said with a smile: "If it's delicious, you can eat more." Give you and Gu Yu a bowl, this bowl will be sent to your prince to taste. But this croquettes are too oily, so you can let your prince eat a few. Can't eat more. ”

Feng Zhi immediately returned to the side room with two large bowls of croquettes, "Lord Wang, you can taste it, the new food that Young Master Chu made with radishes." ”

Xiao Yilin and Gu Yu had already smelled the fragrance, but they were more reserved and not as open as Feng Zhi.

Xiao Yilin used chopsticks to clip a golden oily radish ball and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's really delicious." The outside is charred and the inside is tender, salty and delicious. ”

Gu Yu also tasted the meatballs and said with a smile: "In the past few days, Master Chu has made a lot of new dishes, and any dish that is put in a big restaurant will definitely be sought after." If Chu Gongzi opens a restaurant, he will definitely make a lot of money. ”

Feng Zhi also agreed, "That's for sure." For the skill of Chu Gongzi, there must be people queuing up to eat every day to open a restaurant. ”

Xiao Yilin shook his head and smiled: "Chu Gongzi's hands are not for cooking, his hands can cure diseases and save people." But you can really use his recipes to open a restaurant. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yu looked at his prince with burning eyes, "Lord, are you going to cooperate with Prince Chu?" ”

Xiao Yilin said: "It's okay, but it depends on how Young Master Chu decides." I'll talk about it later, and it's not too late to think about it when I'm well. ”

Because the winter wheat was a trial seed, Jingyi didn't use the ability to induce seed germination. Jing Yi wanted to see the real situation. She would go to the field every day, sometimes peeling open the dirt to see what was going on with the seeds inside.

Then write down the situation of each day in a notebook.

In everyone's anticipation, the winter wheat really sprouted, and it seemed that it had been drilled out of the ground overnight, casting a light green layer on the bare land.
