Chapter 111: Touched Grain

"Gollum!" the sound of swallowing saliva came from the throats of the three of them at the same time, and their eyes were all focused on the small hive, the wings of their noses opening and closing.

Then, they saw Jiang Xingchen put the piece of beehive to his mouth and sipped it lightly, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Well~ yes, the real nectar is so sweet that there is nothing to say, with a strong ...... of nature" Jiang Xingchen just enjoyed half of it, the old man, Zhao Danqing, and the little cat girl had already pounced with red eyes!

"Hey, be careful, my brother's shoulder still hurts!" Mei'er hurriedly blocked in front of Jiang Xingchen......

After a while...... "Woo~ sweet, so sweet!" The old man held a small piece of beehive in his hand, and smiled so much that the folds on his face were piled up.

"Well~ it's delicious, I've never eaten anything like this, it turns out that there is such a good thing hidden in the honeycomb!"

And Zhao Danqing didn't even say a word, holding the beehive, and his mouth was full of slurping sounds.

Jiang Xingchen watched from the side, thinking about the situation when Zhao Danqing stabbed the beehive with a branch before, and he couldn't wait to kick this piece on the waist. When you work, you step back, and when you eat, you grab the most......

"Old man, I said that this is an excellent delicacy, I didn't lie to you!" Jiang Xingchen asked when he saw the old man's hand put down.

"Well, it's much sweeter than fruit, it's really excellent!" The old man was extremely satisfied, and he would never go against Jiang Xingchen when it came to eating.

"Then the promise I made to the old man should be considered fulfilled!"

"This ...... Of course...... By the way, in addition to eating honey directly, there should be other ways to eat it!" The old man said a few words, and then suddenly changed the topic.

"This old man, this is preparing to pay the bill!" Jiang Xingchen was a little speechless. glanced at the old man with contempt, turned his head and ignored him.

The old man smiled, continued to pick up the hive, and squeezed out the honey inside.

Jiang Xingchen rubbed his shoulder, which was still painful, and cut off a few pieces of the hive, before putting away the other hives, now that the temperature is low, it can still be preserved, and after going back, it has to be wrapped in fine linen cloth to dry, and the honey is filtered out. You can also boil and separate beeswax!

Leave two pieces of the cut and the rest to the old man, and Jiang Xingchen took out the royal jelly.

"Mei'er, this is for you!" Jiang Xingchen handed the little girl the beehive like a small bowl. Royal jelly generally has a very small yield, and it is a food for the queen bee and early larvae, and the nutritional value is extremely high.

"This ......," Mei'er took it. The whole person fell silent.

"Hurry up and eat! This thing is good for the body, and you won't be able to get out much in a swarm!" Jiang Xingchen urged.

Old man. Zhao Danqing. The little catwoman all turned her head. At this time, they finally understood why Jiang Xingchen ran back just now. The old man and Zhao Danqing were fine, but the little cat woman couldn't help but show a strange expression. This feeling of being cared for and cared for all the time really made her so envious.

"Brother!" Mei'er raised her head and pursed her lips, unable to control her tears any longer. It flowed down. My brother was stung just now, and he must have gotten this thing for himself.

"Hurry up and eat, what are you crying about!" Jiang Xingchen rubbed Mei'er's head and said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Mei'er nodded. I squeezed all the royal jelly in the hive into my mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Xingchen asked softly.

"It's delicious!" Mei'er nodded vigorously.

"Huh...... Little liar, this thing is not sweet, not only sour, but also a little spicy, how can it be delicious!" Jiang Xingchen quipped.

"Flutter!" the little cat girl laughed out loud all of a sudden, and the old man and Zhao Danqing also forced a laugh and pursed their lips tightly.

"Nasty!" Mei'er was embarrassed, her face turned red, and she gently patted Jiang Xingchen's arm like a coquette, and lowered her head again.

Seeing that Mei'er stopped crying, Jiang Xingchen stopped teasing her, and sent a piece of beehive to her......

Everyone went on the road again, Mei'er was surprisingly quiet, always looking down at the floor under her feet, pursing her lips and snickering for a while, and then being sluggish, which made Jiang Xingchen a little worried, is there something wrong with that royal jelly......

Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and three days later, Jiang Xingchen and the others finally returned to Qingshan Village.

Du Rushan, Han Xiaowu, and Shi Wazi came out from afar, and at this time they already had some admiration for Jiang Xingchen. After the news came, not only them, but the villagers were stupid, more than 10,000 acres of land, and they said that they would get it back.

At that time, they knew that the lord's move to open the mountain was by no means impulsive, but had already been sure of it.

Subsequently, the whole village was boiling, and with such a lord, there would be a good life left in the future. As for how to plant this 10,000 acres of wasteland, they didn't think about it at all, and it was definitely right to do what the lord ordered.

What makes the people in the village even more proud is that as long as they go out, the people from other villages who didn't look at them before take the initiative to come up to greet them, and even with a flattering smile. They suddenly had a feeling of turning over as a salted fish, and that sense of superiority simply made them feel a little fascinated.

Not only that, but what surprised them even more was that even the shops in the town, when they heard that they were from Qingshan Village, greeted them very warmly......

Food and shelter are not worried, the harsh winter is spent safely, and now there is good arable land, and the status is very different from before, and the villagers are almost grateful to Jiang Xingchen to the core.

Therefore, when Jiang Xingchen came back, the villagers were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the most excited of all is Nier, she thinks that Jiang Xingchen and Sister Mei'er are going crazy, they are used to eating delicious meals, how can they swallow anything else. The moment she saw Jiang Xingchen, she ran over like crazy and jumped directly into his arms.

"Lord Jiang, did you bring anything delicious for Nier?" the little girl asked in a tender voice.

"Hehe, how can I miss you, at Sister Mei'er's place, I'll look for her in a while!" Jiang Xingchen pinched the little girl's face lovingly, and then put her down.

The little girl tasted the honey that Mei'er gave her, and smiled so happily that her fleshy cheeks were squeezed together.

did not return to the lord's mansion, Jiang Xingchen came directly to the small hill with everyone. On the 10,000 acres of wasteland below, 3,000 soldiers were in full swing.

The fourth child in the dormitory did not urge the flow of cheats, the method said was really effective, and sprinkling grass and wood ash can really accelerate the ice and snow civilization.

Because of this, Shi Wazi slapped Jiang Xingchen's horses wildly, touting him as a mess, Jiang Xingchen himself blushed a little when he heard it, and secretly said in his heart: "I'm sorry, fourth!"

Although the frozen ground is hard, these soldiers are armed with force. In addition, every day there are so many fish and meat, and the energy is very strong, and it is not slow to dig up the ground. According to Jiang Xingchen's idea, 1,000 acres of cultivated land have been planned, and irrigation canals mainly surround these cultivated land.

Looked at the progress of the ditch. Jiang Xingchen looked at the dug mountain beam again, and then returned to the lord's mansion.

Originally, he thought. Hurry up and figure out the car. Iron ploughs and stuff like that, as soon as the orc alliance's cattle arrive, he doesn't care about farming.

Unexpectedly, just a day later, Shi Wazi came to him to complain: "Sir, we can't buy seeds!"

"There are no seeds. Didn't you keep seeds last year?" After this sentence was asked, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but pat his forehead, in the situation like last year, he ate everything he could. How is it possible to leave seeds.

And Shi Wazi also explained: "Last year's harsh winter, there was a shortage of grain in various places, and it was not enough for the surrounding villages to farm their own land, so there was still surplus to sell...... There are grain merchants in small towns, but the grains are not full, and you can tell at a glance that they are not good seeds. ”

"That's it!" Jiang Xingchen frowned, he really ignored this question.

After a deep groan, Jiang Xingchen said: "You go and do something else first, I'll find a way to grow the grain!"

After Shi Wazi left, Jiang Xingchen immediately wrote a letter to Beihou, how could Hongyuan City have food. Even if there is no shortage of food during the harsh winter, the empire and the great lords will also consider the cultivation of the coming year.

However, before he started writing, Dingbei Hou's letter came to him first.

When he opened the white silk and looked at it, Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile. In the letter from the Marquis of Dingbei, he actually asked him to discuss with the Tianxia Commercial Bank to see if he could get a good grain, preferably from Xuanyuan Tianzong.

The specific reason was not written in the letter, but Jiang Xingchen could see between the lines that the Marquis of Dingbei was extremely resentful.

In fact, the current Dingbei Hou is no longer resentful, it is simply angry.

Two days after he and Jiang Xingchen and his party returned to Hongyuan City, they received news that Hengtong Trading House had smuggled a batch of third-grade grain from Xuanyuan Tianzong and sold them in Linshui City led by Qi Yue.

There was almost no delay, and the Marquis of Dingbei rushed to Linshui City with his people. Xuanyuan Tianzong's third-grade grain varieties are also better than the highest quality grain varieties in the empire, which can increase production, of course, it can't be missed.

But he arrived first, but he didn't buy grain, Hengtong Commercial Bank said that the grain was limited, and he had to take care of the imperial capital and Qi Yueling first.

The imperial capital and Qi Yueling are the two major grain-producing areas of the empire, and there is nothing to say. But then, Dingbei Hou was not calm.

The Grand Duke came to buy in front of him, and more than a dozen marquis behind him also bought the grain seeds one after another, and finally the reply given to him by Hengtong Trading House was: The grain seeds are not sold!

"I'm the second Ao!" Dingbeihou, a big lord, couldn't help but burst out foul language, and at this time, he couldn't see that people were willing to live in vain if they didn't sell it to him.

Don't ask, there is also the shadow of the aristocratic management department, just to see that you were too embarrassed in the imperial capital in the previous paragraph, and deliberately embarrassed you. Otherwise, he Hengtong Commercial Bank will be full of food, and he will have nothing to offend a big lord, and they will not have to do business in Hongyuan City in the future.

Thinking of the smug eyes of a group of big lords when they looked at him, Dingbei Hou was so angry that he smashed more than a dozen teacups in the room. In the previous paragraph, there were all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred, but now it becomes "It's time to see that you're still scared."

What's even more infuriating is that that stupid young master Wang actually came to the door again.

However, before the angry Dingbei Hou could speak, he directly blasted him out.

After a long time, the Marquis of Dingbei, who was forcibly suppressing his anger, calmed down a little, remembered the cooperation between the Tianxia Commercial Bank and Jiang Xingchen, and immediately wrote this letter to Jiang Xingchen.

And after Jiang Xingchen received the letter, he also began to think about how to talk about seeds with the world's commercial firms. (To be continued......)
