I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.
Chapter 104 Harvesting Corn
County Magistrate Duan also went to the study in the front hall, where he usually worked.
"Master, did you call me here to tell you something?" the lawyer asked after bowing.
"Have you heard of Dagu Village?" County Magistrate Duan asked directly.
The master lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Da Gu Village is a small county on the edge of the Yue King's fiefdom, quite far from here. Why did you think of asking this, sir?"
"I just made a few friends recently. From the conversation, I learned that they are from Dagu Village. The name sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember why. Does your master remember anything?" asked County Magistrate Duan.
"Ah! It's no wonder that the master can't remember it. This Dagu Village belongs to the land of the King of Yue. It's a small village under the small county of Jia County. It is said that there are only dozens of families in the whole village."
"Master, do you remember the official document issued by the court a few months ago? There was a document in it that dealt with a criminal official. The criminal official was the official of Jia County."
"Now that you mention it, I remember it. The magistrate of Jia County, Lu Chuan. He was the one who privately spread the word of rebellion in his jurisdiction, instigated the people in his jurisdiction to flee, and lost the city and land. He was also held accountable by the emperor after his death." Magistrate Duan also thought of this incident.
"That's right, sir. You even expressed your pity for him at that time. You said, 'It's a pity that he has such a heart of love for the people!'"
"Because the people of Jia County got the news in advance, they had enough time to escape. So after the rebel army entered, they found that many villages were empty and did not gain any benefit. In the end, they were so angry that they even smashed and destroyed the empty villages. In the end, they simply burned everything down. Dagu Village was also on the list of burned villages. You must have remembered it when you saw it, so it sounded familiar to you when you heard it again."
Magistrate Duan slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying: "This damned rebel army is so hateful that they even spared an empty village."
"Ah, that's right."
"Master, do you know how long it takes to get from Dagu Village to our place?"
"Well, it's at least several thousand miles away, and it will take at least a month." The lawyer replied, and County Magistrate Wen once again overturned his own guess.
Although the Gu family members were dressed simply, they did not look tired or exhausted.
County Magistrate Duan had no clue about the Gu family and could only give up for now. He would ask again when he met them again.
County Magistrate Duan was just thinking about it when he heard his advisor continue, "Sir, now the rebel army has further frustrated the royal army. Once the Yue King's fiefdom is completely taken, we will be in danger. Sir, please make preparations early."
"When that time comes, I will also follow Lu Chuan's example. At least I will protect the safety of the people."
"Your Excellency's love for the people is something I admire! If that day comes, I will definitely be by your side."
Afterwards, Magistrate Duan and his advisor discussed the deployment and personnel placement in the city, and how to deal with the rebel army.
The Gu family had no idea what County Magistrate Duan was doing.
The family is in a frenzy of internal competition. After more than a month of hard work, everyone in the Gu family has gained something and made some achievements.
For example, the basic necessities of life such as shampoo, soap, shower gel, detergent, etc., are already made by the brothers themselves.
Jiang has almost finished researching dyes and pigments. Next, she is going to embroider her first embroidery, a sunset courtyard scene. This is the first picture that Jiang particularly wants to show.
Miao had already spun the necessary threads and was now preparing to weave the cloth.
Wen has been studying the history of food development recently, and based on the information recorded in the book, with the help of Nanny Zao, she has been studying ancient recipes. In the past month, the meals of the Gu family have been even more refined.
After a month of practicing small-scale carvings, Gu Dahai is ready to carve his first formal wood carving work.
Gu Dajiang is constantly studying economics and revising his articles based on the new knowledge he has acquired.
After a month of study, Gu Dahai learned about the circuit layout of the whole house and read a lot of knowledge about electricity and the history of electricity generation.
According to the content in the book, with the help of the intelligent robot, a small voltage generator was made. It was tied to the net bag that Gu Fu brought out, and the experiment was conducted wearing electric-proof gloves. It really electrocuted the fish.
This further strengthened Gu Dahai's determination to study, and he prepared to conduct a large number of learning experiments.
After more than a month of careful care by Gu Fu, half of the spiritual dew was consumed. The silly, stupid hair finally grew long enough to completely cover the skin. Finally, he was willing to come out and meet people.
Everyone's busy study days came to a temporary halt when Grandpa Gu informed them after dinner that the corn was ripe.
Everyone was curious about the harvest of the corn they grew, so the family followed Grandpa Gu, Uncle Farmer, and Uncle Farmer's right-hand men, the little monkeys, to the fields.
Seeing the Gu family gathered together, the tigers Daju and Dabai came over with the wolves, as did the three horses and the giant deer Baixue.
The monkey has been with the farmer since he started working.
Maer was recently learning horse riding and archery, so he was placed near his home. This left only Julu and Baixue in Taolin, and in the end they were all placed near their homes.
Everyone looked at the yellow cornfield and felt the breath of harvest.
"Sister, is this corn? Why does it look different from what it tastes like?" Gu An asked.
"This needs to be picked from the corn stalks, the husk needs to be removed, and it can be cooked before it can be eaten." Gu Fu explained to his brother.
"Then let's start picking." Gu Yi said happily.
"Uncle Nong, please teach us how to pick them." Gu Le also said.
"Okay, young masters, I will teach you how to pick corn now." Uncle Nong replied with a smile. Then he began to demonstrate to the Gu family how to pick corn.
It was actually very simple and everyone learned it quickly.
Then each person was responsible for two rows and started picking the fruits as they went along.
Each company’s all-round robots have also joined the ranks of corn-breaking.
The little monkeys were responsible for two rows each. They carefully broke and packed the fruits and then carried them to the field.
The family watched the Hercules monkeys in action and expressed their amazement once again.
The Gu family worked together, and with the help of a hacker, within one morning, thirty acres of corn had been harvested and dried on the stone hill. The farmer and his monkeys would turn the corn over and dry it on a daily basis.
Seeing the green sweet potato leaves in the field, Gu Fu thought of the sweet potato leaves dish again.
"Mom, sweet potato leaves can be eaten as a vegetable. And they are delicious." Gu Fu said to Wen.
"Oh! Really? Then we have to try it. Will eating the leaves affect the growth of sweet potatoes?"
"No, mother. When we eat it, we just need to pinch the tender part. It won't affect the growth of the sweet potato." Gu Fu said as he took out rubber gloves and distributed them to his family.
He also warned: "But be careful when pinching it, because the stem will ooze out liquid, and if it gets on your clothes, it will stain them black and it will be difficult to wash off."
After listening to what Gu Fu said, everyone carefully pinched the tender stems of the sweet potato leaves.
When she got home at noon, Wen gave it to the kitchen nanny to clean up, and at Gu Fu's request, she steamed the sweet potato leaves, made sweet potato leaf noodles, and fried sweet potato leaves with garlic.
The whole family thought it was delicious and couldn’t stop praising it.
"This sweet potato is really full of treasures. Not only the fruit can be eaten, but even the leaves can be eaten." Grandpa Gu exclaimed.
