Chapter 149: Promoting Seeds
Seeing Li Qingqing happily starting to make the second batch of mooncakes, Xie Xuan'an went to find Zhou Yimo with satisfaction.
But I found that he was not in the study, and then I realized that Zhou Yimo had gone to see the village chief early in the morning.
Zhou Yimo learned in detail about the various benefits of grass seeds from Li Qingqing. He firmly believed that what his wife said must have its truth.
So he found the village chief and said:
"Village Chief, you left in a hurry last night. Actually, there is something I haven't told you yet."
"What is it? If it's about planting grass in the fields, then there's no need to mention it."
The village chief looked at Zhou Yimo with some confusion.
He did not go out early as usual today. He heard that the county government had high-quality rice seeds, so he thought he had to seize the opportunity early.
Therefore, he planned to find the villagers later and tell them to transform their old low-lying land into paddy fields as soon as possible.
The two villages merged some time ago, and he had already found out the relevant information about the villagers.
"Of course it's not a matter of planting grass." Zhou Yimo said with a smile,
"Village head, you don't know that the county magistrate is not completely inactive. While recuperating from his injuries, he is also looking for ways to improve people's livelihood."
Zhou Yimo tells the story,
“The discovery of high-quality rice seeds also owes a lot to the county magistrate. He also obtained a batch of seeds, and the plants grown from these seeds can be used as food for poultry and livestock.
If we plant it in idle paddy fields, the children can harvest it easily without having to go into the mountains to collect grass for pigs, which is less dangerous.
village head:"……"
The village chief was skeptical when he heard this, but in fact he still trusted the county magistrate.
After all, the county magistrate had a keen eye for talent and recommended Zhou Yimo to be the acting county magistrate.
Moreover, Zhou's nephew was right. The flat land on the hillside behind the mountain had been occupied by the villagers and houses had been built. If the children wanted to collect grass for the pigs, they had to go deeper into the mountains, which was too dangerous.
"The county government has already developed composting technology and will soon send people to teach the villagers. There's no need to worry about the rice fields being infertile."
Zhou Yimo continued to enlighten the village chief.
"It was not easy to obtain this batch of seeds. The quantity is limited and they are provided free of charge to the villagers. The county magistrate is still hesitant about which village to give them to first.
I would like to secure this batch of seeds for Lihua Village, and I hope the village chief will make a decision as soon as possible. If others learn of this in advance, I'm worried that the seeds will be snatched away quickly."
village head:……
At this time, Li Qingqing didn't know that Zhou Yimo was also lobbying the village chief.
She is carefully making the second batch of mooncakes.
The fillings and mixed dough were already prepared, so she only needed to make another batch of mooncake bases.
Zhou's mother was also helping, she was mainly responsible for preheating the kiln.
The kiln was not very big, and the mooncakes she made were also relatively small, so she quickly baked another batch of delicious mooncakes.
Li Qingqing happily put the mooncakes into the bamboo basket.
But at this moment, Da Shuang came to inform that outsiders had arrived.
"Mom, big sister, there's another guest coming to our house. I don't know him. Brother Xie is entertaining him."
Li Qingqing and Zhou's mother looked at each other, then said, "Mom, I'll go take a look."
Li Qingqing walked into the outer hall carrying a basket of mooncakes, but was surprised to find that the visitor was Li Feng.
"Little sister, I'm here! Are you surprised?"
When Li Feng saw Li Qingqing, a smile quickly broke out on his handsome face. He quickly stood up and walked towards her.
Xie Xuanan was sitting beside Li Feng at this time. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "He was so calm when he saw me just now. Isn't it just to see a sister, but he got so excited!"
Who doesn’t have a younger sister?
Oh! He doesn't seem to have it!
Xie Xuan'an suddenly looked at Li Feng with some envy, and for a moment he didn't notice the mooncake in Li Qingqing's hand.
Li Feng saw Li Qingqing holding a basket of fragrant and exquisite small round cakes and asked casually:
"Hey, I've never seen this pastry before. Did you make it?"
"Brother, why are you here?"
Li Qingqing was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "You are so lucky, I just baked this..."
"Let me try it!"
When he heard that it was made by Li Qingqing herself, Li Feng took the basket without hesitation and started eating the mooncakes without waiting for Li Qingqing to finish her words.
Xie Xuanan on the side: "..."
Li Feng took a bite of the mooncake, and his eyes immediately flashed with surprise. He nodded repeatedly in praise:
"It tastes really good, with just the right amount of sweetness, not greasy at all, and even has a subtle sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance!"
Li Qingqing nodded, and she mixed some of the osmanthus honey that Qiu Kui had sent her into the mooncakes.
"Oh, the filling of this pastry is made of nuts?"
Li Feng tasted one and picked up the next one, "This is red bean paste!"
"Look at what the filling is?" Li Feng picked another one and started eating.
Xie Xuanan watched him eat one after another, and complained in his heart: "Brother, how can you eat so unpresentably? You eat so much, have you ever considered my feelings?"
"I didn't expect that there would be so many fillings?" Li Feng was pleasantly surprised and tasted it happily as if he was opening a blind box.
He didn't even consider Xie Xuan'an who was looking at him resentfully at the moment.
"Hey, this filling is actually lotus seed paste! Little sister, I've had a special liking for lotus seed paste since I was a child. Please make some more for me in the future."
Li Feng ate each one in two or three bites very quickly. It was obvious that he seemed to like sweets very much.
He didn't notice Xie Xuan'an's speechless expression beside him.
Xie Xuanan: I never thought Li Feng would be such a person! Where is the usually dignified and taciturn General Li?
When Li Qingqing saw Li Feng coming to Zhou's house, she took advantage of Li Feng eating mooncakes and told Da Shuang to go and call Zhou Yimo.
Li Feng couldn't help but admire the delicious pastries while tasting them.
"Little sister, your craftsmanship is truly remarkable. You can make such an exquisite and delicious pastry. What is it called? I have never tasted anything so wonderful before."
Li Qingqing was also very happy to see Li Feng enjoying the food. She smiled and replied, "Brother, this is mooncake. If you like it, eat more."
"Yeah, I like it!" Li Feng nodded happily.
Maybe it was because he was in a hurry on the road and felt a little hungry, or maybe it was because he really liked sweets. In any case, in a short while, Li Feng had cleared out all the mooncakes in the basket.
Li Qingqing thought, fortunately she didn’t cook too much, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to eat lunch.
Xie Xuan'an, who was standing by, watched as a basket of fragrant mooncakes was ruined by Li Feng alone.
He couldn't help but interrupt:
"General Li, the mooncakes you're eating were made for me by Li Qingqing! I haven't even tasted a single bite, and you ate them all!"
Li Feng was in a good mood and said with a smile:
"I'm so sorry, thank you, sir. The mooncakes I made are so delicious."
Li Qingqing saw this and quickly comforted him:
"Don't worry, don't worry. It's almost noon now. I'll prepare lunch first and then make another one for you in the afternoon, okay?"
Xie Xuan'an looked at Li Qingqing and felt that she was coaxing a child, and felt quite aggrieved.
But there was nothing more to say. He couldn't fight with others for food, as it would damage his elegant image.
