Chapter 176: Leeks
"What's the situation with this Nima?" Seeing a wolf cub tear off half of his trouser legs, and then tilt his head and run away with a victorious look, the second brother was completely stunned.
Zhao Danqing let out a burst of snickering laughter next to him, he was also the second brother now.
Entering the lord's mansion in a daze, the appearance of the second brother showing half of his legs suddenly caused a burst of laughter. Hearing Jiang Xingchen's explanation, he realized that the wolf cub was called a crab, and he was yin by Zhao Dan.
The second brother who learned about the cause and effect was extremely angry, not only to Zhao Danqing, but also to Jiang Xingchen, you said that you were full of food, and named a wolf cub Crab, isn't this a yin person, it's too out of tune.
So, in a fit of anger, the second brother found Zhao Danqing and took out the chess, which was called very abusive, and it didn't count if he ate up the opponent's son, and he had to use a pawn to force the opponent's veteran to have no way out.
Zhao Danqing is addicted to bad skills, and he obviously loses with red faces, but he still wants to play. The old man happily supported the move in the back, making Du Rushan and Han Xiaowu unbearable.
Mo Hongxian and Wanrou were interested in the wolf cubs, so the crab suffered, and was rubbed around by the two girls, and they wanted to open their mouths to fight back, but the owner refused to let them.
In desperation, the wolf cub whimpered and begged Jiang Xingchen for help, but the immeasurable master turned a blind eye and sighed there: "Woman, you really don't have any resistance to fluffy little animals, even the female Han paper is the same!"
After speaking, Jiang Xingchen ignored the pleading of the wolf cub and went out of the house with Mei'er, Xin'er, Xiao Nizi, and Little Catgirl.
This trip has been out for more than 20 days, and the leeks should already be able to eat, so he only wants to make dumplings today.
Come to the place where it was planted. It is a dark green patch to the eye, and almost all the leeks have grown to more than five leaves, which is the best time to bloom.
"Sir, are these weeds really edible?" asked Niel, biting her fingers.
"Hehe! Make sure you can't close your mouth when the time comes!" Jiang Xingchen pinched Nier's face, smiled, and began to move. There are not many leeks planted, but this one is also a big bundle, more than 20 catties.
After asking Xin'er to bring the leeks back, Jiang Xingchen took Mei'er and them over the mountain beam and came to the river. I caught several catties of river shrimp and went back to peel the shrimp.
With these ready, Jiang Xingchen returned, called out the old man who was watching chess, and asked him to go and pick up some bird eggs and come back. There are no wild pheasant eggs. I can only replace this one.
At noon, the busy Shi Wazi and they all returned. Everyone was elated. Now I don't have to worry about food and clothing. The crops are also growing very well, and they have not been affected by the heavy snowfall at all. According to the calculation of the city acres mentioned by the lord, the harvest of at least 400 catties per mu is twice as high as the best year.
This is the lord's domain, and all the land is the lord's, according to the rules of the empire. The civilians who cultivated the land received half of the harvest, and after removing the taxes that should be paid, more than 150 catties of grain were left for them per acre of land. In this way, more than 1,000 acres of land. Each of the villagers can have an income of two or three thousand catties.
After the villagers gave Jiang Xingchen a salute, Shi Wazi happily told the situation.
What Shi Wazi didn't expect was that Jiang Xingchen couldn't see how happy he was, and even shook his head regretfully. If this is on the earth, a better field can yield thousands of catties per mu, and rice can approach 2,000 catties.
"It's still a matter of grain seeds, I don't know what kind of harvest will be made by the first-class grain varieties of Xuanyuan Tianzong of the Lu Dao family...... I still have to study it when I go back!" Jiang Xingchen sighed, and then informed everyone that after finishing the farm work in the afternoon, come over to eat dumplings.
Mei'er's identity problem has been solved, the population is also there, and the money has earned a lot of money, the viscount, the expansion of the territory, and the upgrading of the town, these are just around the corner, plus this year's harvest, the territory is in a good form, Jiang Xingchen is very happy, and his interest is extremely high, so he condescended to the dignity and personally feasted the whole village.
Being able to taste Lord Jiang's craftsmanship made the villagers even happier. I have heard that Lord Jiang is a good cook, but there are really not many people in the village who have actually eaten.
After everyone left, Jiang Xingchen began to get busy. More than 20 catties of noodles, more than 20 catties of meat, and dozens of catties of flour......
The ones who helped Jiang Xingchen work, of course, were Mei'er and Xin'er, not to mention anything else, the craftsmanship of rolling the skin was absolutely first-class.
For three months, the three of them made more than 3,000 dumplings, and everyone was sweating.
The big table in the courtyard has been set up, and the villagers who have come back are busy with their work, setting up the dishes and chopsticks and peeling the garlic cloves.
When the shade of the trees completely obscures the hospital and there is no more scorching sun, the enticing aroma wafts out of the kitchen.
"Gollum!" there was a sound of swallowing saliva in the courtyard.
"Zhao boy, didn't you say that you don't want to eat dumplings, you want to eat river shrimp?" the old man asked Zhao Danqing disdainfully.
"Who said to eat river shrimp, I didn't say!" Zhao Danqing stared at the kitchen with his eyes, kept pursing his lips, he used to eat meat filling, of course he was not interested, he knew that Lu Dao had made a brand new stuffing this time, and he didn't say that if he was killed. Of course, I don't admit it now.
"That's right!" The old man suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Han Xiaowu and said, "You quickly send someone to the entrance of the village to keep an eye on it, every time you eat something good, Luo Yu's big stomach king appears, just like a ghost!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Han Xiaowu nodded continuously, and immediately ordered a brother to go.
"Nima, what am I doing for you!" the member of the earth-shattering mercenary group cursed secretly, slowly moved his steps, and left with great reluctance.
"Squeak!" The kitchen door opened, and Jiang Xingchen walked out with a large pot of steaming dumplings and put them on the first table.
"Huh!" The movements of the old man and the others were uniform, and the chopsticks instantly reached their hands, like a fence, blocking the top of the basin.
Pork, leeks, shrimp, bird eggs, and the live stuffing are mixed to create a completely different flavor. The spicy taste of leeks raises the fresh fragrance of the meat filling to a higher level, coupled with the freshness of river shrimp and the fragrance of bird eggs, it seems that the whole tongue is wrapped in a rich fragrance.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" the old man nodded his head again and again, and increased his hand speed. Before, he really didn't take this similar thing to weeds in his eyes, but now, just two words....... it's so damn delicious!
In fact, the old man didn't care about a matter of a few words, and completely sank into the deliciousness.
Zhao Danqing, the second brother, and the fourth brother didn't even say a word, the dumplings were sent to their mouths one by one, and five or six were chewed vigorously, and the cheeks on both sides were like monkeys with food.
Wanrou, Mo Hongxian, and the three little cat girls are also not inferior, although they eat Xiangsven, they are absolutely dissatisfied with the speed.
Jiang Xingchen looked at the situation on the table, smiled faintly, and turned back to the kitchen.
And in the kitchen at this time, Mei'er, Xin'er, and Xiao Nizi are also eating. This is the small stove that Jiang Xingchen opened for them, and he is worried that these three people will not be able to rob those people.
"Sir, this weed...... No, it's supposed to be leeks, it's really delicious!" said Nile with her cheeks puffed.
"Hehe, then eat more!" Jiang Xingchen patted the little girl's head and began to cook the second pot.
Mei'er stood up at this time, took the chopsticks to pick up the dumplings, dipped the vinegar in her bowl, and got up and brought it to her brother's mouth.
"Hmm! Mei'er still hurts me!" Jiang Xingchen smiled, opened his mouth and bit the dumpling into his mouth.
"Of course!" Mei'er smiled as she turned around and took the dumplings and handed them over......
As the dumplings boiled out in a pot, the whole village moved, and no one could resist such a delicacy. One by one, they all shook off their cheeks.
The little wolf cubs also divided into a few pieces, wagged their tails in excitement, and then hid in the corner with a pot of dog food in their mouths, and as soon as someone passed by them, they immediately whined in warning.
This dumpling feast lasted until night fell, and more than 3,000 dumplings were stunned. Fortunately, there are more old and weak women and children in the village, and each person is almost full after eating more than 20 people, otherwise it is really not enough.
The more than 20 prime men in the village are each in their fifties and sixties. The foodies of the earth-shattering mercenary group are all eating like seventy dumplings, plus Zhao Danqing, the second brother, the fourth brother, and the old man, the rest is strange.
"Huh!" Zhao Danqing burped, half leaned back in the chair, gently stroked his bulging belly with his right hand, and said loudly: "I haven't eaten so much for a long time, hahaha......"
"Zhao Danqing, don't laugh, you have leek leaves on your teeth, it's ugly!" Mo Hongxian suddenly said.
"Ahh
"Hehe!" Looking at Zhao Danqing's appearance, Wanrou couldn't help laughing.
"What's that......" The second brother raised his hand and said softly: "Wanrou girl, you also have it on your teeth!"
"Ah~" Wanrou's face suddenly turned red, and her two hands covered her mouth violently.
"Smack...... Oops!" A teacup exploded on the second brother's head, and Mo Hongxian had already taken the case: "Second brother, no one treats you as a dumb person if you don't speak!"
I told Wanrou...... Hey, I won't say it!" The second brother was full of grievances, and was about to defend himself, when he saw Mo Hongxian raise the water glass again, he suddenly shrank back.
The villagers all left one after another, and when they left, they saluted Lord Jiang, and when Xie Lu thanked him for his hospitality, at least half of his teeth were dipped in leek leaves, and Jiang Xingchen almost didn't laugh when he saw it.
The night had completely fallen, the noise had faded away, and the village had calmed down again. Jiang Xingchen took a shower, left the lord's mansion, and went to the old site of the village to see how the cellar was dug.
Seeing Jiang Xingchen's arrival, the craftsmen were very happy, and all the work was finally done. From May to now, this job has been done for a whole summer, earning more than ten years of money.
After turning around, Jiang Xingchen nodded with satisfaction, these cellars were all according to his requirements, not bad at all, the whole piece of bluestone used for waterproofing, with rice soup and clay to hook the joints, it was obvious that a lot of effort had been wasted.
In addition, in some cellars, large water tanks have also been arranged.
"Lord Jiang, Captain Gongqian Du has already given it to us! You see, if there is no problem, we will go back!" said a craftsman.
"Don't be in a hurry to go back, I have bigger work for you to do!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and laughed! (To be continued......)
