The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 57

After the meal, I have a cup of lychee sweet soup. There is no rock sugar, but the natural sweetness of the lychee is cooked out.

There are more than a dozen lychees in a clay pot, and the sweetness is just right.

"Mommy, when you leave tomorrow, you leave a bag of food for the master's family, and give them some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Just say, I like today's dinner very much."

Nanny Feng responded.

A night without dreams.

This seems to be the most peaceful sleep Xu Yin has slept since she entered this book.

From the people's point of view, the fourth girl must be unhappy to enter King Jinnan's fief and not leave the fief without the imperial edict.

Only she knew what this meant—a big turning point in the fate of the cannon fodder.

Therefore, she drank an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast than usual, the soft stewed red bean and millet porridge, Chunlan added a spoonful of honey for her, it tasted sweet.

The people below loaded the luggage and items onto the carriage one after another while she was eating breakfast.

Nanny Feng took the time to meet with the master's house, and left behind the rice, flour, grain and oil that the girl gave her last night.

The host is indescribably grateful.

It was the first time for them to see nobles of the princely level, and they felt uneasy, so they used the only types of ingredients in the clan to send some food to the nobles.

Even so, this night, except for the youngest son, everyone else slept extremely restlessly, for fear that they would accidentally offend the nobleman and bring disaster to the family.

Unexpectedly, the nobleman not only did not offend them, but also rewarded them with food and seasoning.

The patriarch excitedly led the clansmen, and knelt and kowtowed in the direction of the nobleman's residence from a distance, through the wall of people blocked by the guards.

The representative of the women's family was brought over by Nanny Feng to thank her face to face.

Xu Yin didn't dare to accept such a big gift from them, so she hurriedly asked them to get up, and asked the maids to bring in some stools.

It is not advisable to take the car immediately after eating, so I took them to chat for a while.

"Is the harvest here not good?"

The headed patriarch's wife was both nervous and excited, she stood up and said cautiously:

"The nobleman does not know that there are few flat and regular fields here, and the harvest of the crops is not very good. In the early years, some people went to the mountains to hunt some game and went to the city to exchange food, but the miasma in the mountains became more poisonous every year, let alone years. It's long, the young people can't bear it, and every family's life is hard..."

I didn't dare to say that the tax was gradually increasing, and the burden was getting heavier and heavier. I risked my life to go into the mountains, and the game I harvested, where I was willing to eat it myself, was transported to Fucheng to exchange for food.Even so, I haven't had enough to eat for several years.

The patriarch's wife raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes: "I made the nobleman laugh."

Xu Yin shook her head: "It's okay."

After thinking about it, he said to the patriarch's wife: "The rice harvest is low, and the terrain conditions here are actually more suitable for growing sweet potatoes. You don't need regular land, and you don't need to be meticulously waited on. You can plant anywhere at the foot of the mountain, even on the mountain. Otherwise, I will provide you with some sweet potato seeds brought from the north, and it is just spring plowing right now, with good weather and good luck, you may be able to plant two seasons a year."

The patriarch's wife was so excited that she wanted to kneel and kowtow again, but was stopped by Xu Yin.

She asked Nanny Feng to take someone to move the sweet potatoes in the second mule cart.

That was the high-yield sweet potato that she asked the system to exchange.

The production of sweet potatoes in the Central Plains in this dynasty is low, but the sweet and glutinous taste is very good. Compared with food, it is more suitable for drying into candied dried potatoes as snacks.

She found a chance to change a batch and stocked it in the system warehouse.

"Do you grow fodder beans here?" Xu Yin asked again.

Moshidou and Maliudou are the names of this dynasty, but they are actually soybeans, which were eaten by horses, mules and other livestock before tofu was invented.

People also eat it, but because eating too many beans can cause flatulence, they are usually eaten as condiments or snacks.

"There are seeds, but not many are planted. All the land that can be planted is planted with crops."

"Food bean does not pick the ground, and it can be interplanted with corn. Corn is planted in the middle, and fodder beans are planted on both sides. The mature and rotten bean leaves and branches can also provide nutrients for the corn field."

The patriarch's wife exchanged glances with the other female relatives in surprise.

Someone in the clan once suggested that planting corn was too wasteful, but the stalks were tall, the leaves were wide, and the number of corn sticks produced was pitifully small, and each plant only produced one, depending on whether it was full, so they decided to stop planting.It's better to work harder and plant rice. No matter how little the harvest is, you can still produce two crops a year if you work hard.

Today, some noble people gave advice and asked them to interplant fodder beans in corn fields.

This is equivalent to two species in one field, so that two crops can be harvested at one time.

What's more, the nobleman also said that no matter how many fodder beans are planted, don't worry, she will buy them, and take as much as she can.

The patriarch's wife and others thanked Xu Yin again.

Xu Yin waved her hand.

"This, have you seen it?"

She drew a picture of sugar cane in charcoal.

The charcoal pens were made by someone when they were staying at the post station. The calligraphy brushes are good for practicing calligraphy, but she is not used to using them as ordinary writing pens.

The patriarch's wife shook her head after seeing it.

Xu Yinxin guessed that sugar refining from sugarcane probably hasn't become popular yet.

Along the way south, she has tasted all kinds of sugar, including honey, caramel, and rock sugar made from beets, but she has never seen brown sugar or white sugar made from sugarcane.

"This is called sugarcane. Please pay attention to it in the future. It is very easy to grow. When it is ripe, it can be cut into sections and eaten as a fruit. It tastes extremely sweet. It can survive when the head is inserted into the soil. If it grows out one day, it can be eaten as a fruit." The fodder and beans are sent together...

Xu Yin paused, then turned to look at Nanny Feng: "Mommy, what is the name of the place we live in?"

Nanny Feng suppressed her speechlessness: "Prince Jinnan's Mansion, the prefecture of Baigui County."

Xu Yin told the patriarch's wife: If sugarcane is grown, she is willing to exchange grain and cloth with them.

In fact, there are sugar cane in her system warehouse, the excellent variety cultivated in the peasant girl era. Unfortunately, the shadow of sugar cane was not seen on the way south, so it was inconvenient to take it out.

She had a faint idea in her mind: she wanted the people in Lingnan to plant sugar cane and soybeans on a large scale.

She makes sugar from sugar cane, and she has a secret recipe for brown sugar, which is ancient brown sugar.

Even in later generations, ancient brown sugar is highly respected.

She has never made white granulated sugar, but it is said that the caramel-colored sugar water can be whitened by pouring yellow mud water.I haven’t operated it before, so I looked back to see if there is such a skill book in the system mall. There is really no one. You can try it out based on your impression.

For soybeans, she wants to try stuffed soy sauce.

The cost of soy sauce brewed from fresh meat is high, and the sales price is higher. If a low-cost soy sauce can be brewed, it will definitely make a fortune.

Seeing Xu Yin not coming out for a long time, Yan Kejin glanced in the direction of the patriarch's house and asked his subordinates what was going on.

After inquiring about it, Yan Qi replied: "The concubine tasted the food sent by the master's family last night, and she was very satisfied. She rewarded them with some food. The patriarch was grateful and asked the female relatives to come and thank them."

Yan Kejin chuckled: "She has changed a lot."

How did Miss Xu Si in the past have such a kind heart?
It would be nice to kick over the vulgar food in her eyes without being in front of the master.
