This small courtyard is still very different from the Buddhist hall in front. Wang Shu saw the vegetable patch on the right-hand side of the door. The yard is also not big, two cottages. I pushed the door open and went into the house, where the simplest plank bed and straw mat were laid out. In this summer, there is no need for a quilt mattress to protect against the cold, and a straw mat is enough for Wang Shu to practice for good.

The wall is close to the mountain, and it feels like it is blocked in an urn. Wang Shu wandered around the house alone for a long time, thinking that she couldn't find a way out. As a result, the door panel against the wall was moved to the side, and a small closed door was found.

In ancient times, this door was not like a modern security door, and it could still be opened with a little brute force.

Wang Shu kicked in the house alone for a long time, and the door of the kick was clanging, but she couldn't kick it. The magpie, who was still carrying a bucket of things, heard the movement and kicked the door open. The door opened, and immediately a clear mountain breeze blew in my face. Mixed with the aroma of grass, it makes people smell the sweetest summer smell. Wang Shu found that the door was open to the front and back, and the front and back doors were facing the wind.

And this back door opened, and there was a winding path leading directly to the back mountain.

Speaking of which, last time Wang Shu came over to borrow someone from Xiao Yanxing, he went straight to the temple when he went up the mountain. When I entered the temple, I only sat in Xiao Yanxing's wing room for a while, and didn't wander around. Not to mention the same fasting and reciting Buddha, different people live in two different rooms. Wang Shu personally went up the mountain to see it today, only to find that the grass and trees in the back mountain are abundant, and flowers are blooming everywhere.

Going deeper, there was a small valley with a pool of water.

On a hot day, there is a cooling of the pond water in the mountains, and the cool breeze is cool, so cool.

Wang Shu glanced into the pond, and coincidentally, there were still fish. Looking at some of them like Ya caviar, it is estimated that no one has caught them in the deep mountain environment, and each fish is exceptionally fat and stupid. If you poke it with a stick, you can't run, and you can smash several stones when you throw them.

Well...... Such a pleasant view is really an unexpected bonus.

It is impossible to be vegan, and you can't eat fish if you can't eat meat. No one can control her!

Having said that, Wang Shu didn't wander around the back mountain to eat fish, her test field was on the back mountain of this temple. She followed this direction a few times and found a path that led to the nearest test field.

The test field that Xiao Yanxing gave her was not far from here, and it was only a quarter of an hour to walk over.

Such a big discovery, Wang Shu was pleasantly surprised for a long time. Clenched hands and happily circled. After suppressing her joy for a long time, she sneaked back to the small courtyard again.

Except for a few times when the little novice came to deliver things, no one came to this courtyard.

Wang Shu glanced at the table, it was really a Buddhist scripture, and he didn't want to speak.

The magpie had already put away all his luggage and was starting to light a fire in the small courtyard. The magpie is a diligent girl, doesn't talk much, and loves to be clean. In a few moments, she had already cleaned up the house.

She was about to boil hot water and scald all the straw mats in the room.

"This thing doesn't burn and you don't feel safe to sleep. Xiaojun's skin is tender, and he may have a rash when he sleeps. ”

Wang Shu nodded secretly and decided to add a little bonus to the magpie this month. This girl has a lot of money and is a good person to live a good life. The house was handed over to the magpie to clean up, and Wang Shu touched back the courtyard where Xiao Yanxing visited Buddhism all the year round according to the memory of the last time.

The gate of the courtyard was guarded, and people outside could not enter.

However, Wang Shu circled around the courtyard several times, and when no one was around, she rushed in from the corner. That's what a good brain is, and it's easy to find places that you've been to once. The last time she came over, she easily touched the house where Xiao Yanxing lived at this time. Seeing a figure shaking in the room, Wang Shu didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly touched it and took a look.

The person inside was not Xiao Yanxing, and sure enough, Xiao Yanxing was not in Lin'an County.

She said how the Liang family arranged her into the Linshui Temple so easily. If in the past, with the Lin family's wanton temperament and the attitude of not daring to provoke Linshui Temple for many years, Xiao Yanxing would not allow the women of the back house to get close to the temple.

The Liang family came late, and he didn't know what Xiao Yanxing valued to Linshui Temple, so he easily sent her in. I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky.

With the bottom in his heart, Wang Shu was not in the mood to guess where Xiao Yanxing went.

What he will do must not have much to do with her. Curiosity is something that must be used when it is useful, otherwise I don't know how to die. Wang Shu has always understood this truth very well, and he will not easily step on this thunder.

The current situation is that Xiao Yanxing is not in Lin'an County, she was left by the Liang family, and there is a direct path in the back mountain of the test field! The best things are all gathered together, what is she dissatisfied with? God is helping her!!

The same way back to the small courtyard, the magpie has already cleaned up the house.

Wang Shu wanted to wait to go down the mountain, but thinking that artificial pollination was imminent, she couldn't sleep.

Seeing that it was still early, Wang Shu simply called the magpie and went down the mountain through the back door together.

Let's take a look at the test field. Although manual pollination is not confined to one or two days, Wang Shu still has to observe the heading of plants from time to time. This ensures that pollination is done in the most complete state of the plant, so as to ensure that the effect after pollination is optimal.

Normally, rice is pollinated at 20 percent of the rice heading.

Generally speaking, pollination time is also more particular. Try to keep the temperature between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, early on sunny days and later on cloudy days, depending on the temperature of the day. And pollen is particularly susceptible to the weather, and pollen will not be emitted on rainy days. Pollen in windy weather is affected by the wind and will be blown apart, which will reduce the utilization rate of pollen.

In other words, it is necessary to find a good weather with the right temperature, no wind and no rain, and then artificial pollination at the right temperature.

There are also many methods of artificial pollination, such as single-rod vibration pollination, single-rod push pollination, and double-rod push pollination.

Different methods have different suitable plants, and they also have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The first single-rod vibration pollination method used to be used by Wang Shu. Because of the simplicity of the method, the single pollination area is wide. If the test field area is small, two people can pollinate the entire test field area in one day. However, this method vibrates the paternal parent less and does not allow the paternal pollen to be completely dispersed. And because it is a single rod vibration, it is easy to cause uneven pollination.

Later, Wang Shu found out about the problem, so she would rather work out more and spend more time doing physical effort.

Double-rod push pollination is used to solve the problem of uniform pollination cloth and low pollen utilization rate. However, it is also because this method is too careful, and the pollen utilization rate is extremely high, so the efficiency of manual pollination is extremely low. Generally speaking, this method is rarely used in practice, after all, it requires a lot of human labor to assist. But Wang Shu is doing experiments, so she naturally doesn't care about this artificiality.

Before assisted pollination, the unusable part of the rice flower must be removed. Similar to empty packets, flowered, too old and too tender, the flower key is not more than half, and all the blackheads are removed.

It's too late today, we can only wait for tomorrow. However, Wang Shu needs to arrange for them to prepare tomorrow's things first.

Wang Shu ran to the vicinity of the test field, and the tenants were already waiting on the ridge.

They are used to following Wang Shu, although it is not clear what Wang Shu is comparing every time he repeats planting these paddies. But the key periods are still the same, and the things to be done are similar. Seeing that the rice in the field began to tassel, and the work of going to the male was completed, they also knew what was going to happen next. Prepare the double rod early and wait here.

Just waited for Wang Shu to come, inspected the ears of rice, and gave them orders, and they immediately began to work.

Seeing Wang Shu coming over at this point, the tenants were not surprised. I've long been used to her coming over from time to time. The youngest daughter of the tenant family, Bell, was very happy, and ran over with a cool white open, and asked Wang Shu if she was thirsty.

The youngest daughter of the tenant family was only seven or eight years old, and she was already working in the fields. The little girl was tanned, but she was very cute. Wang Shu didn't refuse, took it and took a sip.

Then he buried his head in the ridges and inspected them one by one.

This year's rice ears are really much better than last year, and there are almost no empty bags and blackheads. The spikes are healthy and full, and there are very few parts that need to be disposed of. Wang Shu couldn't help but be excited in her heart. But they are still strictly required to remove the flower key incompletely: "Work hard, although this year's heading is good, we can do better." ”

Saying that, Wang Shu called everyone to his side and personally demonstrated how to remove these unqualified ones.

Double-rod push pollination, this does not need to be taught by Wang Shu, they have long been proficient. Wang Shu focused on teaching several young children. Their father and mother may not be able to explain clearly, but Wang Shu personally said how to do it: "Starting from the hour of tomorrow morning." ”

Temperatures are higher in the summer and more pleasant in the morning. Wang Shu roughly finished speaking, and personally took the magpie to the watermelon field.

Speaking of which, she really can't eat the watermelons in these two fields alone. Although one-third of the promises were given to Xiao Yanxing, Xiao Yanxing was never seen to come and ask for it. Wang Shu went down to the melon field and picked five or six big and round ones, picked them and sent them to the edge of the rice field.

Asking people to work, Wang Shu never skimps on things.

Watermelons may be expensive to others, but Wang Shu seems to be like that. If she doesn't sell so many melons, it will easily rot in the field. It's better to take it out and reward these people who work for her. Again, Wang Shu has to send some back to the Wang family's house. Mr. Wen and Mr. Wu are all teaching Wang Xuanzhi with their hearts, and they confiscate the apprenticeship. Wang Shu didn't say anything, but naturally expressed it in action.

As soon as this arrangement was completed, Wang Shu also picked a few melons and brought them back to the temple. She hugged one, and the magpie hugged both. Joyfully returned to the temple.

Speaking of which, Wang Shu is a bit of luck on his body.

Obviously, I went to Xiao Yanxing's yard in the morning to take a peek and confirmed that this person was not there. As a result, the master and servant holding the melon bumped into Xiao Yanxing and his party who came back from the mountain road by the pool in the back mountain.

There's nothing more embarrassing than this to catch someone right or something. Xiao Yanxing's face was not very good-looking, and his face was gray.

Wang Shu stood under the tree without embarrassment, and Xiao Yanxing next to the pool sat on the ground.

At this time, his clothes were not the loose monk's robes that he usually wore, but a particularly close-fitting military robe. At this point, the belt was removed, revealing half of his chest. Xiao Yanxing's skin is undoubtedly the best, removing his face, slender neck and deep concave collarbone, white as if the finest jade carving, the bulging chest muscles and beautiful abdominal muscles, the lines are smooth as if carved......

“…… Father. "There's no way to pretend not to see, this kind of four eyes facing each other, unless you are blind, you will never be blind.

"Hmm." Xiao Yanxing closed the placket slowly, and the collar that was usually tightly buttoned still exposed the collarbone. His eyes fell on the oversized watermelon in Wang Shu's arms, and he was speechless for a while, "Sneaking out just to eat melons?" ”

Wang Shu stood motionless with her neck stalked: "......" How could she be so greedy.

“…… No," Wang Shu's expression was particularly stiff, "I was kicked out by my master mother to recite sutras for my lord." ”

"That's how you chant sutras?"

"After going back and reciting it, I just came today. In addition, cold melon is also vegetarian. Wang Shu tugged at the corners of her mouth, "After all, it's a vine knot." ”

Xiao Yanxing: "......"

Looking at each other, a gust of mountain wind blew, and Wang Shu smelled a little blood in the air.

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she said in her heart, no wonder this master uncovered his clothes, could it be that he was wiping the bloodstains? But she didn't ask, always thinking that asking might be a bit too much.

"What are you doing standing there?" She didn't speak, Xiao Yanxing opened her mouth, "Come here." ”

"Oh."

Wang Shu's hand holding the melon was sore to death, and the melon was at least sixteen catties.

She rubbed over slowly, didn't sit next to Xiao Yanxing, but went to the pool first. Soak the melon in water and wash the dirt from the skin. This melon has just been picked, and it is cool to eat it with water and ice.

Mo Sui carried the food and silently looked at the woman who was squatting next to the master but only cared about washing melons, and was speechless for a long time. Look at her attentive appearance, as if the master next to her is an ornament.

Mo Sui: "......"

He was carrying food in his hand, and seeing that the master was very talkative, he was neither advancing nor retreating for a while.

Wang Shu didn't notice the entanglement behind him, and the watermelon was floating in the water. But she was always worried that she would sink if she was not careful, so she carefully dragged her hands with her hands. The fish in this pond don't know if they have never seen the world, and they don't know if the world is sinister or what. Wang Shu dragged the melon with her hand, and the fish kept chattering her hand next to her.

There are fatter fish, and it hurts a little bit.

Wang Shu sighed, grabbed it, and grabbed one coldly.

The fish was thrown on the grass and jumped a few times in a daze, its mouth open one by one, as if it was still wondering how the meat it had just taken was gone. Wang Shu and Xiao Yanxing's gaze intersected, and they fell into a short silence.

“…… The fish in the deep mountains and old forests are really stupid. After a long time, Wang Shu expressed her opinion.

Xiao Yanxing: "......"

"Do you eat fish?" Look at the sky, it's almost time for lunch. Wang Shu's fingers were still being nagged by the stupid fish in this pool, speechless and annoyed at the same time, "The grilled fish is quite delicious." ”

Xiao Yanxing has been running around for the past few days, and he just came back from Qiuzi. Needless to say, how dangerous the situation of Qiuzi is, he still suffered some injuries from his covert actions. The death of his grandfather gave him a big blow, and so far in the world, there is no one who really loves him. Tired and sad, he hadn't eaten well for a long time.

After listening to Wang Shu's words, he smiled silently, "Don't eat grilled fish, make fish soup." ”

Wang Shu: "......"

For the sake of his grandfather, it's not impossible to make fish soup, but there are no pots, right?

When I looked up, I saw Mo Sui moving a bunch of things. Among them is a small tripod that is easy to carry. Not only did he have these utensils, but he even brought spices.

I didn't know what to say for a long time, Wang Shu scooped up the melon, "You have to spend some effort on the fish soup, eat a melon mat first." ”

"Besides, Mo Sui," Wang Shu touched the back of her hand that was red by the fish, and pointed to the water in the pool, "You plug these two stupid fish into me." ”

CHAPTER XXXVII

Generally speaking, it is best to make crucian carp in fish soup. This Ya caviar is made into fish soup, and Wang Shu is the first time to make it.

However, the process of making fish soup is the same.

Fish usually have to be handled well, and if it is not handled cleanly, it may be fishy. The water and black membrane in the stomach must be deducted. Looking at the seasoning, there was only ginger and salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and some pepper and cumin. It is said that the reason why Mo Sui brought pepper was because Wang Shu used this thing a lot, and gave the people in Xiao Mansion a head. Now these close attendants in the outer court know that this thing is a spice to eat.

Wang Shu rummaged a few times, thinking that this material was not enough to remove the fish, so he put the watermelon and went to the mountain to search around.

There is a saying, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. On this lush mountain, can you still find half a bite to eat?
