Traveling through the wasteland: Farming girl can not be messed with

Chapter 57 Trial Planting of Winter Wheat

Xiao Yilin received a letter from Xiao Zhen on the second night after the people from Prince Jing's Mansion transported the vegetables from Yunxi Village.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Xiao Yilin felt annoyed, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Gu Yu looked at his lord's happy face and asked, "My lord, do you have any good news from the chief executive?"

Xiao Yilin directly gave the letter to Gu Yu.

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

Gu Yu was also very happy after reading the letter, "It's really relieved now. Feng Da and the others are so good, they actually caused King Xuan to be seriously injured. Let's see how rampant he is now."

Feng Zhi looked at the letter and said with a smile: "This King Xuan is good enough. If a horse jumps in shock, he can be seriously injured, and even broke a leg. Maybe he will become lame in the future. If he really becomes lame, then But it really has nothing to do with the throne."

Gu Yu looked at Feng Zhi, who looked like he hadn't shut the door, and gave him a blank look, "Don't talk nonsense outside, and be careful not to cause trouble for the prince."

Feng Zhi shrank his neck, "It's because I'm not outside. I'm just happy."

Xiao Yilin smiled and said: "Feng Zhi is right, if Xiao Yitai's legs are really lame, then the father will never pass on the throne to him. Then we will save a lot of trouble. However, there are many doctors with excellent medical skills in the capital , Xiao Yitai should be fine. But this time it can be regarded as a warning to him, so that he will not be so rampant in the future.

We will go back to the capital sooner or later, and this time is a good start.Write a letter to Director Xiao, asking him to continue to send people to secretly monitor the news in the capital, and report back immediately if there is any change. "

Jingyi asked the long-term workers to plow the land after harvesting one hundred acres of vegetables, and she was going to plant winter wheat.

This winter wheat seed was obtained after she optimized it a little bit by using the collected wheat seeds.In the first year, let's try it out first.If successful, this field will be able to grow two crops in the future.

The people here are all farming crops, and the yield per mu is relatively low, so of course there is less grain harvested, and after deducting the taxes to be paid, there is not much left in a year. It is no wonder that many farmers cannot eat enough to eat. Part of the time it is barely enough to eat with the addition of wild vegetables.There is no food surplus at home.

This is also the reason why Lin Xiuhan is very concerned about Jing Yi's trial planting of winter wheat.If it is possible to 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 area of ​​Jin State, it will be a great thing for Jin State.

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

This can be regarded as a base fertilizer for wheat.

Jing Yi used all the horses in the family when she started planting winter wheat.There is a horse in the family, and the horses that pull the carriage in Prince Jing’s Mansion are also requisitioned by Jing Yi. The three horses pull the plow together, and they can plow three ridges of land at one time, which is very fast.

The villagers were very puzzled to see that the Chu family had to plant the land in the winter. The weather was already cold, so the crops could still grow.

But everyone also knows that Mr. Chu is capable, maybe he can really do it.If it happens, they can also learn to farm in winter.

With many people and strong strength, one hundred mu of land can be cultivated in a few days.

The villagers have been paying attention to the situation of the Chu family's farming. They saw that the plows used by the Chu family are very useful and the plows are deeper, so they asked the village chief to come forward and see if they could recruit them to make it like this.

She had already given Xiao Yilin the drawings of the plow that Jing Yi should have entered, and Xiao Yilin had already begun to have people promote the use of the plow in Huizhou Prefecture.Of course, the villagers would not hide it if they wanted to use Jingyi, and directly gave the blueprint to the village head, and asked the villagers to find the village head.

After the winter wheat is planted, there will be basically nothing to do in the field this year.A few members of Jing Yi's family started to deal with the dishes they kept for themselves.

The spinach is bundled in bundles, the roots are buried in the soil, and the spinach is covered 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 is no chili, spicy cabbage can't be made this year, and we have to wait for next year.Some radishes are also pickled and eaten as pickles.

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

The chickens and ducks at home also need to be fed with some chopped cabbage, so Jingyi kept a lot of cabbage.This may be related to the supply of eggs and duck eggs at home.

Because of the bumper harvest of radishes, Jing Yi asked the quick-handed Feng Zhi to cut a few dry radishes into thin shreds, then put white flour, bean flour, and various seasonings on it to start frying radish balls in a large pot.

The aroma of croquettes permeated the sky above the yard, and Jingyi shared the first pot of croquettes with everyone for a taste.

Feng Zhi had been waiting by the side, he was the first to eat the croquettes, and he gave Jing Yi a thumbs up while eating, "Well, it's really delicious. Mr. Chu, you are really like a stone." With your ability, this ordinary radish is simply delicious in the world when you fry it like this."

Jing Yi filled two big bowls of croquettes and said with a smile: "If it's delicious, eat more. I'll give you and Gu Yu a bowl, and this bowl will be sent to your prince to taste. But the croquettes are too sweet. Oil, just let your prince eat a few. Don’t eat too much.”

Feng Zhi immediately returned to the room with two large bowls of croquettes, "My lord, please try this new dish made by Mr. Chu 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 pick up a golden, oily radish ball and put it into his mouth, "Well, it's really delicious. It's charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's salty and delicious."

Gu Yu also tasted the meatballs, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu has made a lot of new dishes these days, and any dish will definitely be sought after in a big restaurant. If Mr. Chu opens a restaurant, he will definitely make a lot of money Bowl."

Feng Zhi also agreed very much, "That's for sure. Just like Mr. Chu's craftsmanship, opening a restaurant must have people queuing up every day to eat."

Xiao Yilin shook his head and said with a smile: "Young master Chu'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."

When Gu Yu heard this, he looked at his prince with burning eyes, "My lord, are you going to cooperate with Mr. Chu?"

Xiao Yilin said: "It's okay, but it depends on how Mr. Chu decides. Let's talk about it later. It won't be too late to think about it after I recover my body."

Because the winter wheat was planted as a trial, Jing Yi did not use the ability to germinate the seeds.Jing Yi wants to see the real situation.She goes to the field every day to check, and sometimes she scrapes the soil to see how the seeds are doing.

Then record the daily situation in the notebook.

In the anticipation of everyone, the winter wheat really germinated, and it seemed that it got out of the ground overnight, covering the bare land with a layer of light green.
