Chapter 118: Spring Ploughing The counterattack begins
In order to protect his secret, although Jiang Xingchen can't tell the conspiracy, it doesn't mean that he won't retaliate.
A high-profile declaration of the bankruptcy of the enemy's plans is not at all weaker than a direct use of force for retaliation. The feeling of grievance and powerlessness caused by the huge gap in my heart is even more torturous.
Hearing Jiang Xingchen's words, Dingbei Hou's eyes lit up, and as soon as he thought of the contempt, ridicule and injustice he received in Qi Yueling, his heart was on fire, now it's okay, aren't you paralyzed you looking at jokes, don't you don't sell me grain seeds, don't you say I have to sè, I have to show you today, Lao Tzu himself can also get grain seeds.
"Boy, do you have any good ideas?" Dingbei Hou asked, a few times he came over, he had some Jiang Xingchen dependence, and the first thing that came to mind was this kid.
"Hehe, of course there is!" Jiang Xingchen sneered, did not continue, turned to Qin Manwu and said, "Miss Qin, I will give you another thirty catties of honey and ten catties of spirits, there should be no problem over there in the desert, right?"
There are two possibilities for the matter of seeds this time, in addition to the counterattack of the aristocratic management department, there is also the Xuanyuan Tianzong against the world's commercial houses and fight for the desert line.
But no matter what the reason is, it is not so easy to end up with Dingbei Hou in it.
Qin Manwu also smiled, she didn't expect that this time she would actually be a blessing in disguise, what Jiang Xingchen meant by this, she would fully support herself in the future, thinking about the big money that this kid made during the New Year song and dance performance, she couldn't help but beat her heart faster.
"Then thank you Lord Jiang!" Qin Manwu smiled, stood up, and was about to leave, Jiang Xingchen didn't answer Dingbei Hou's words first, there must be a secret, so it would be inappropriate for her to continue to stay.
"Miss Qin. This time I went to the desert, please help me find a few things......" Jiang Xingchen said, looking for Beihou to ask for a pen and white silk, brushing and drawing.
After a while, Qin Manwu took the white silk and watched, muttering: "Cumin, pepper, pepper, cucumber, tomato!"
"Names may vary. But the picture should be too much!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, cumin is produced on the earth and the dry and hot Xinjiang region, which should be similar to the desert environment. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers. It's hard to say about chili peppers, the first three are native to India on earth. The latter is even more distant in Central and North America. It is very different from the desert, and Jiang Xingchen did not report much hope.
However, there is vitality here, and the species are quite similar to the earth, but they are very different from each other, just look at the grain seeds. I don't know what the surprises will be.
Qin Manwu looked at these strange things and was a little curious, are these plants all edible things, how did Jiang Xingchen know?
"In addition, I would like to ask Miss Qin to get some more rice seedlings. This time, you don't need Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect's, you can do it from the Great Qin Kingdom!" Jiang Xingchen continued.
"This is no problem!" Qin Manwu suppressed the curiosity in his heart, nodded, and left at the same time as Jun Immortal.
After they left, Jiang Xingchen brought another stack of white silk and began to write and draw, while the old man and the Marquis of Dingbei all leaned over and watched curiously.
"White chopped wild pheasant, scallion oil wild pheasant legs, steamed silver carp, sausage......" watched Jiang Xingchen write out one recipe after another. Dingbei Hou and the old man asked curiously at the same time, "Boy, what are you doing here?"
"Master Hou, Hongyuan City is known as the city of food, and it's time to hold a food festival!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"That's right!" Dingbei Hou suddenly realized and nodded vigorously.
"In addition, Master Hou did his best to inform the subordinate leaders to prepare horses!" Jiang Xingchen said again.
"What are you preparing the horses for?" Dingbei Hou was a little surprised, and he couldn't understand what Jiang Xingchen meant at all.
"Cultivating land! My territory has invented good things, and when we run out, we can lend them to other territories! Although it can't solve the problem of delaying spring ploughing, it's better than manual farming!"
"What's a good thing?" Dingbei Hou's eyes lit up, improving the efficiency of cultivated land, this is the most important thing.
"Hehe, you will know when you look back, two people and one horse, if the land is level, thirty or fifty acres a day, oh! 20,000 square meters a day is no problem!"
"My second ......" in the house, Dingbeihou and the old man exploded at the same time, 20,000 square meters a day, this Nima is simply ......
Jiang Xingchen was a little chilled by the wolf-like gaze of the two, and couldn't help but shudder, clasped his hands on his chest, and said weakly: "Master Hou, what's that...... You study slowly, I'll ...... first"
Then, the people in the courtyard heard a terrible howl: "Ah~ let go of me, don't rub my head, don't pinch my face...... Help me...... You two make up the watch chain......"
In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Xingchen went back to Qingshan Village, and he didn't even have time to say hello to Mo Hongxian and them, he had to hurry up to see the completion of the car, Shi Wazi said that it was designed, but he hadn't seen the specifics yet.
In fact, if it weren't for a snow disaster, he couldn't catch up in time, and he wouldn't have thought of such a complicated thing, and it would be more reliable to design the iron plough first.
After returning to Qingshan Village, Jiang Xingchen immediately looked at Shi Wazi's design, and felt that it looked okay, so he instructed the blacksmith to make zuò by hand.
Of course, the whole cocoon is more than one meter high, it is impossible to make all of it iron, so the transportation is laborious, mainly wooden structure, the plowshare below is made of iron, and the hollow pipe for transporting grain seeds is through the bamboo pole knot, and then simmered.
The spacing is wrong, the shape of the plow is not conducive to turning the ground, and the stability is not good...... In the process of making zuò, several people overturned and restarted again and again.
When the time entered the end of April, the land was finally fully civilized, nearly twenty days later than in previous years, and the cocoon that Jiang Xingchen and their research had finally taken shape at this time.
On the wasteland, the first cocoon car is really yàn, Shi Wazi is in charge of control, and in front of it is Han Xiaowu, who has a wry smile, is in charge of the cow, because the whole village is familiar with horses in their earth-shattering mercenary group.
Morning glory is a technical job, you have to walk a straight line, and the stone baby behind is not easy, the depth of the soil, the balance of the body, and the evenness of sprinkling seeds are all in his hands.
When I first started using it, of course I was not proficient, either Han Xiaowu had a crooked cow collar, or Shi Wazi had a problem here, and he had to stop when he encountered a big stone.
But even so, at the end of the day, the two of them also cultivated nearly thirty acres of land, which made the villagers who watched drop their jaws, and then cheered loudly with excitement.
The little cat woman wrinkled her little nose, and scolded Jiang Xingchen in her heart for being cunning, the entire orc alliance thought that he wanted cattle to eat meat, how did he know that it was used for farming, if he knew this, he must have asked him for two hundred catties of spirits, no, three hundred catties, no, five hundred catties......
When the little cat woman was greedy and fantasized here, even Jiang Xingchen herself was a little surprised, and recalled the knowledge she had learned for a long time: "What is the ratio between the public acre and the municipal acre, I can't remember......
Whether you remember it or not, the car was considered a success, and the next step was to start making a large number of zuò.
However, no matter how large-scale it is, you can only make one in a day. Jiang Xingchen roughly estimated the needs of his side, and immediately sent the extra ones to Hongyuan City......
During the whole spring ploughing period, the situation in Qingshan Village spread crazy in the surrounding villages, and some people even put down their work and came to watch. And the situation at the scene, their eyes were blue with envy.
"What is that, it looks like a cow! yes, it's a cow, I've seen it when the Orc Alliance was selling beef in the bazaar...... I went there, and I actually used this to plow the land!"
"Cheating, how many times faster is this Nima than our manpower...... What the hell is that thing that the cow is dragging behind it?"
"In such a while, a few hundred square meters will be cultivated, and the spring ploughing in Qingshan Village will definitely not be delayed!"
"They all say that Lord Jiang is very good, otherwise, let's borrow some tools and cattle from him......"
"Don't think about this, don't you see it, the tools have been transported away by carriage, someone else must have booked it first!"
"Hey, if we had known, we would have decided first......
"Look, they still have paddy fields...... Why didn't the lord come to our village!"
"Silence, do you want to die, if the lord knows you're in bad luck......"
In such onlookers and discussions every day, Qin Manwu sent rice seedlings, and also brought a few skilled hands, after all, Qingshan Village has always planted wheat, so it is a little difficult for them to plant seedlings, which is also a technical job.
Jiang Xingchen was naturally very satisfied with Qin Manwu's arrangement, he had never farmed before, and of course he would not have thought about it in such detail.......
April passed quickly, and the spring planting season came to an end. At the beginning of May, Dingbei Hou looked at the horses outside the city pulling the plough carts, his face was full of smiles, and his mouth kept muttering: "This kid is really so powerful, how can he come up with such a good thing! Although the spring ploughing will be delayed, it will not be delayed for a few days!"
After a burst of uncontrollable laughter, Dingbei Hou turned around and returned to the city, letting Wanrou call Mo Hongxian and start the counterattack plan.
In the evening of the same day, the Bauhinia Mercenary Group and the two major restaurants sent out a message that the secret of filling soup buns and fish soup was sold to restaurants all over the city, and the push-pull bellows were promoted for free.
In fact, the second one is completely superfluous, and the sliding bellows have spread in the city restaurants at this time, and even the homes of some nobles and rich people have been installed.
Of course, the restaurants in the city flocked to the city, and they were all used to selling secret recipes every other day between the two restaurants.
However, when they arrived, they got even more shocking news: Dingbei Hou decided to hold the first food festival in Hongyuan City on May 20th, and this food festival will continue to be held! On this day, the two restaurants will launch four new dishes at the same time!
"Boom~" was chaotic all of a sudden, all the people in the restaurant were ecstatic, the reputation of the food city was already outside, and as soon as this food festival was held, you can imagine how many people it would attract, and it was a good time to make money.
Mo Hongxian smiled and glanced at the excited crowd, and then said: "Lord Hou has already issued invitations, and the marshal, the minister of finance, the major lords and others will come at that time, this food festival will be unprecedentedly grand, the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe has confirmed the performance, and other song and dance troupes will also come to help the fun......"
After a pause, Mo Hongxian smiled: "This is a rare opportunity, everyone had better work together!"
"Wow~" The audience was chaotic again!(To be continued......)
