Zhu Junyang came down from the mountain after his morning exercise, and as soon as he entered the yard, he smelled a strong fragrance that wafted into the air. I didn't expect that the little girl could cook such a tempting worm that looked disgusting and even got out of the soil!
"Dinner is ready!" Yu Xiaocao staggered out of the kitchen with a big plate in one hand, and the aroma came from the two plates.
The huge plate was piled up like a hill of fried cicada monkeys, which could almost break those two wrists that were as thin as firewood sticks. Zhu Junyang took two steps forward before his brain reacted. He took the plate from Yu Xiaocao's hand.
Seeing him, Yu Xiaocao bared her teeth and said, "Little Junwang, your nose is comparable to Wang Xingren's. You will follow the fragrance as soon as you know that the monkey is fried!"
If Zhu Junyang knew what Wang Xingren was, he would be furious. He even compared him, who is wise and powerful, with a flattering dog who can only stick out his tongue and wag his tail. It's really disrespectful! Fortunately, most of his attention was focused on the scorching cicada monkey, ignoring the meaning of "Wang Xingren".
Xiao Lian and Liu Yan'er, who were helping in the kitchen, each brought a plate of fried cicadas with different flavors, put them on the dining table, and said: "You guys eat first, I'll send some to my aunt and cousin, and let them eat it too." Try it."
The pig farm has a simple kitchen, where Xiao Lian and her aunt usually cook there, and they will send some of the delicious food made at home to them. The piglets in the pig farm, because of sufficient food, and Yu Xiaocao regularly replenishing them with light spirit stone water, all of them are in good health, have a great appetite, and grow gratifyingly. The piggies that were caught first had already weighed nearly 100 catties in more than four months, as if they had eaten "April fat".
Liu Yan'er also sent a plate full of fried cicadas to the Qian family next door, after all, the Qian Wu sister and brother also contributed two cans of Cicada monkeys yesterday. When Qian Wu went back, he didn't take any of them with him, so that was his idea. Who told Xiaocao to cook delicious food, and his mother Mao didn't know how to make it when she brought it back, even if she knew how to make it, she wouldn't want to waste oil to fry cicadas for them as snacks. I have to say, this guy Qian Wu usually looks like he has no intentions, and he has a lot of tricks!
In the yard of the Yu family, the daughters-in-law who helped pick vegetables came, smelling the fragrance, there was a daughter-in-law who had a good relationship with the Liu family on weekdays, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Dahai, your little girl has made something fresh to eat, it smells so good to me My mouth is watering!"
Mrs. Liu put some out on a small plate and brought them over for them to taste. Having just experienced a disaster year and knowing that food is precious, the daughter-in-law resisted the temptation of the scent, shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law Dahai, please don't pick out the glutton in our stomachs, if it makes a fuss, it will still be bitter for us. Hurry up and take it back, I didn't know that such a delicious delicacy is in front of us, it is torture for us!"
Mrs. Liu glared at her with a smile, and said: "It's okay for a glutton to be hooked up, and it's not a precious thing. Did you hear the cicadas on the tree? These are the cicadas that just crawled out of the ground and haven't taken off their clothes yet. For the larvae of the shell, pick one in the woods at night, wash it, pickle it with salt, and eat it when it is cooked!"
During the locust plague last year, the Yu family released news that the locusts could be eaten, and almost every family caught a lot of them for food, saving a lot of food. The locusts are roasted and eaten, so why are you afraid of cicada larvae
The daughter-in-law saw that the ingredients were not expensive, so she stopped being polite, pinched one and stuffed it into her mouth. Suddenly, a strange fragrance exploded in her mouth. It was even more delicious than fried small fish during the Chinese New Year! Her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile on her face: "The taste is really good. Let our head of the house bring a few children to catch some at night, and fry them out for the little bastards to satisfy their hunger."
Several other girls and daughters-in-law also gave up their reserve and tasted one each, and the team that caught the cicada monkey at night grew a lot. Mrs. Liu was asking them to try one more, but they refused. There are more than a dozen members of the Yu family and the Liu family. How many children can be caught? They don't have enough to eat, and they have to control it even if they want to eat. How can they compete with the children for stuttering
What's more, the king of Yangjun is still there. He is now an existence above the county magistrate in Tanggu. The entire ten villages and eight townships in Tanggu are his fiefs, and they are his subjects. impression
The king of Yangjun they were worried about concealed the essence of a foodie, and focused all their attention on several flavors of fried cicadas. His favorite is actually the spicy flavor, not only has a golden color, but also has a crispy shell, and the inside is fresh and tender. down.
It has to be said that the royal family seems to have the gene of foodies. The Supreme Emperor is a senior foodie, and the King of Yangjun is no exception. I don't know if the emperor also loses his dignity and grace in front of his favorite food? Yu Xiaocao was flirting in her heart.
Zhu Junyang lingered at Yu's house until after lunch before going back. The hare that Xiaobai hunted yesterday became the Yu's lunch at noon. There were many people eating, Yu Hai killed another rabbit raised by himself.
When the wild rabbits hunted outside were slaughtered, the Yu family's pet, the little roe deer, could still watch happily, running around happily. But when it saw Yu Hai chose one of its usual friends, wiped its neck and peeled off its skin neatly, it was so frightened that it hid in Yu Xiaocao's room and shivered. The stone water was mixed with green grass, and it didn't dare to eat a mouthful, for fear that the owner would kill it and drink the soup like he did with the rabbit.
I don't know if this little roe deer drank too much Lingshi water and had a genetic mutation. Since it was brought back to Yu's house three years ago, it hasn't grown any longer. One, now trembling like a fallen leaf in the cold wind, looked lovely and pitiful.
When Yu Xiaocao found out that the little roe deer hadn't eaten for two meals and shrunk into a ball looking listless, she thought it was sick. After being reminded by Xiaobutianshi, I realized that this guy was terrified, and hurriedly hugged him in his arms to comfort him:
"Little one, don't be afraid! No one will eat you, you are so small, you have no meat on your body, and you can't kill it enough to fit your teeth. I promise you, no one in the family will dare to touch you without my permission." !! But outside, you have to keep your eyes open, and be careful not to be caught by others to make soup!!"
The little roe deer seemed to be very aware of the little master's position in the house. She said that no one touched it, so it must be safe at home. As for the outside, it won't let strangers get close, it's running like the wind, even Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai can't catch up with it, who can catch it? However, for a long time to come, the little roe deer would take a detour when seeing Yu Hai, for fear that he would not like him and would kill him.
In a blink of an eye, it's autumn harvest time. Zhu Junyang followed Yu Hai and his daughter to Yu's Zhuangzi again. The vegetation on the hill behind the Zhuangzi began to turn yellow gradually. Occasionally, one or two maple trees showed their dazzling demeanor amidst the golden yellow and emerald green. The bean pods in the field were golden yellow and swollen as if they were about to burst their belly. The tenant farmers harvesting in the field showed happy smiles on their faces.
Zhuangtou Wang Maocai, with a heartfelt smile on his face, accompanied the father and daughter of the host family, explaining: "We also planted soybeans in previous years, and the pods produced were only about the length of a thumb. This year, the pods are longer than the middle finger. Moreover, the bean grains are quite a bit larger than the remaining seeds. It is conservatively estimated that the yield per mu of soybeans will double that of previous years!"
Planting soybeans Although Yu Xiaocao did not deliberately breed for the tenant farmers, but there is not much rain in the summer, and the hardworking tenant farmers are afraid that the soybean production will be reduced, and they will suffer losses. At the same time, they are also afraid that the owner will doubt their ability. After planting, they put all their energy into serving the crops, carrying water to irrigate the fields, weeding and catching insects, and they are meticulous in doing things. There is aura in the well water, and the natural yield of soybeans irrigated is relatively high.
After struggling in the field for four or five days, every family's soybeans returned to the warehouse. After weighing it, the yield per mu of the best family has reached 400 catties! The low yield of soybeans is the main reason why farmers are unwilling to plant them. In the best years of the past, the yield per mu was only 160 to 70 catties. But now, the output has more than doubled! The worst family has a yield of about 300 catties per mu! It's about the same as the yield of wheat! !
The tenant farmers who were not optimistic about the request of the boss's daughter to grow soybeans were convinced at this time. After following the new owner, except for the disaster year in the first year, both spring and autumn had a bumper harvest. The tenant farmers think that the owner's luck is strong, so it drives Zhuangzi's luck. In the future, I will follow my boss, and I will definitely be able to eat and dress warmly and run to a well-off life...
The field Zhu Junyang bought was not too far from the Yu family's Zhuangzi. After he prepares for the autumn harvest, he will change the field to be next to the Yu family, so that it will be much more convenient for Yu Xiaocao to help him take care of it! That's right, King Yang knew almost nothing about farming, so he asked the stewards he sent to ask the Yu family's father and daughter for advice if he had anything to do, and he became a hands-off shopkeeper himself.
Just like after harvesting the corn, King Yang went to the capital to report the good news. The cultivation and sowing management of the more than 800 mu of land... was jointly decided by the manager and Yu Xiaocao. With Yu Xiaocao around, he must rest assured that his land production will never be low! Zhu Junyang has such confidence.
Sure enough, the average yield of these 800 mu of land was more than 300 catties per mu, and no one would believe it! He asked the person in charge to make detailed records, and he compiled them into a booklet, which was sent to the capital quickly.
Old dog surnamed Yang, didn't you say that the corn harvest has nothing to do with the Yu family and Yu Xiaocao? Immediately slap your face with data! Have you ever seen soybeans with a yield of more than 300 catties per mu? Dozens of acres of soybeans are also planted in Huangzhuang in the capital. If the yield can match the 800 acres of land bought by the master, the title of Laozi County King will be handed over! !
