Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Hearing Fusu's words, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

When did his son become so sensible?

Instead of going against him, you're actually caring about him?

"This is just a small job, it won't tire me out."

Ying Zheng said, "If you have nothing to do, just follow along and do it."

ah.......

this........

Fusu: "Yes, father."

Seeing that Ying Zheng and Fusu were working, Wang Wan didn't dare to sit idle either.

He quickly said, "Ah, I'll come along too. I'm old now and I need to move around and exercise."

Seeing that his masters had taken action, Xia Lin didn't dare to just stand there.

I quickly said, "Me too!"

The Black Ice Guards on the side looked at Qi Pan and then at Ying Zheng.

I was thinking in my heart, should I lend a hand?

Just watch His Majesty, Sir, and the Eldest Young Master work?

But the land is not that big. If they go there too, wouldn’t that be stealing His Majesty’s jobs?

What if His Majesty gets angry?

Before the Black Ice Guards could speak, Eleven and Twelve had already brought the tools for work.

Qi Pan said, "Let's pull out the grass first, then pick up the stones and clear the rubble."

"Finally, we dig the ground and plant corn. Digging the ground is hard work."

Qi Pan said, looking at Eleven and Twelve, "You two are responsible for digging the ground."

"it is good."

Eleven or twelve are no problem, they are strong and have plenty of strength!

Just right for digging!

They responded, took their tools and headed towards the field.

Qi Pan's gaze swept across Ying Zheng, Fusu, Wang Wan and Xia Lin.

Who should be arranged to help her pull weeds?

Pulling weeds is a very hard job.

Brother Wang, Xiao Xia is quite old, and I’m afraid he will tire them out if we ask them to pull out the weeds.

As for her brother, she couldn't bear to let him do such tiring work.

That leaves only...

Qipan's gaze fell on Fusu.

Only Xiao Su is left.

He is young and doesn't like studying, so it's just right to let him pull weeds and experience the difficulties of life!

So Qi Pan said, "Xiao Su, just follow me and help pull weeds."

what?

weed?

Fusu nodded, "Oh, okay."

"Hey, brother, you and the other two should just pick up rocks and clean up the rubble on the ground."

Qipan said, "Is it okay?"

"sure, no problem!"

Ying Zheng said, then waved his hand and left with Wang Wan and Xia Lin.

Qi Pan looked at the group of men dressed as guards standing there and said.

"Don't just stand there, come and help pull weeds and pick up gravel."

"Yes, sir!"

The Black Ice Guards responded quickly.

Great.

They finally had a life.

It’s too awkward to stand there, it’s better to work more comfortably.

A group of people, some pulling weeds, some picking up stones, and some digging the ground, were working hard.

Although the ground is still a little wet, it's okay and doesn't have much impact.

The land that has just rained is perfect for planting corn, and it grows fast.

Clean a piece of land and turn it over.

Qi Pan directed Eleven and Twelve and others to dig a hole, and she grabbed a handful of corn seeds from the bag.

Then he waved to Ying Zheng who was not far away, "Brother! Come here!"

Ok?

Ying Zheng walked over, "What's wrong, sir?"

"Now we are going to plant corn. Look, we need to dig a long hole like this in the ground."

Qi Pan pointed to the ground and said, "The size and depth are about the same, and then start from here."

As she spoke, she bent down and held the corn seeds in one hand.

He grabbed a dozen grains with his other hand.

He threw it while walking, "Look, there's only this much distance between them."

"Sow the corn seeds one by one."

Ying Zheng followed behind Qi Pan, watching and walking along.

Fusu, Wang Wan, and Xia Lin also followed behind the two like little tails.

So this is how corn is grown.

You have to dig such a long pit and put the grains in one by one.

Wang Wan asked in confusion, "Sir, why do we have to put the corns in one by one?"

"Do we have to keep it this far apart?"

Qi Pan said, “When the corn grows bigger, it will take up more space.”

"If you put too many of them too close together, they will easily steal nutrients from each other and squeeze each other's living space."

"Planting them too close together and too densely will also affect the growth of corn."

"This distance is just right. It is convenient to weed and fertilize when planting rows one by one."

"Oh...I see."

Wang Wan nodded and wrote down what Qi Pan said.

Wait until all the reclaimed land is planted with corn.

One third of the corn seeds in the plastic bag had been reduced.

Qi Pan tied the bag and handed it to Ying Zheng, "Hey, brother."

Ying Zheng reached out to take it and saw that Qi Pan’s hands had been dyed red.

He frowned, "Sir, you dyed your hands? Can the color on the seeds fall off?"

"Yes."

Qi Pan said, "The color on it is from the fertilizer and insect repellent. It's normal for my hands to be stained with color after I touched the seeds."

After saying that, she nonchalantly grabbed a handful of slightly moist soil and rubbed it on her hands.

"Eleven and Twelve, take the dirt over here and cover the corn seeds."

Qi Pan demonstrated it himself, "Just cover it like this, don't make the soil too thick, otherwise the seeds won't grow."

"Don't make it too thin, or it won't cover the seeds, and when it rains, the rain will wash them away."

"Just cover these with soil as I did just now."

Eleven Twelve nodded and replied, "Yes, sir!"

After being busy for half a day, Qi Pan felt hungry.

She hasn't had a proper meal since she fell ill with a fever yesterday.

After working in the fields for so long, my stomach was already empty.

The lotus seed and osmanthus soup and sweets I had eaten earlier had long been digested.

She turned to look at Ying Zheng on the side, "Brother, are you hungry? Do you want to eat here later?"

"Okay."

Ying Zheng replied, "It just so happens that I haven't had dinner with you for some time."

When they heard about having dinner, Wang Wan and Fusu's eyes lit up.

I'm hungry.

Wang Wan had a simple breakfast early in the morning and went to court.

After the court session, he stayed to handle government affairs.

After Ying Zheng finished dealing with state affairs, he followed him all the way here.

During this time, he drank a few sips of tea.

After arriving here, we rested for a while and then continued to open up new land.

He was already starving!

He looked up at the sun. It was already past noon, right?

On normal days in the palace, he would have already had lunch by this time.

Fusu was also very hungry.

He went to the main hall to find Ying Zheng early in the morning, and then watched Wang Wan and Ying Zheng handle government affairs.

After finishing the work, he followed us to the inn.

Having seen Ying Zheng and Qi Pan eating dessert before, he had long wanted to try some.

But he dared not.

That was something that my father brought specially for you, how could he dare to accept it?

Then he had to pull weeds and pick up stones. He had never done such work before and was both tired and hungry.
