Succession of Rebirth

Autumn, in the sad autumn of literati and refined scholars, there is always endless sentimentality and melancholy, but in the hearts of ordinary people, autumn represents the harvest season. As long as you think of it, it will present golden pieces, fruitful Look, it is really a season of joy.

Overlooking the land, you can see patches of golden yellow, among which many black figures are busy. They are the figures of the hard-working farmers who live on the land. Although it is hard work, seeing the fruits of hard work, everyone harvests There is still a joyful smile on their faces. This year is safe and sound, and it will be a good year, which means that in the new year, they will live a relatively comfortable life.

The imperial palace, this place that should be insulated from the busy autumn harvest, has a small piece of land there, forming a golden scene, and there is such a person who harvests the autumn fruits planted in spring and cultivated in summer.

The sun was westward, and it was almost evening. Luo Xuanyan, whose alias was Ye Xuan, came to Qinghui Hall.Since the beginning of spring, he would visit Qinghui Hall every three to five days, at most ten days, and he did not expect to see what he saw when he came here today.The inheritance he saw always looked elegant and leisurely, but the appearance of the inheritance today is different from what he saw in the past six months.

Her hair was coiled up high in a way that would not obstruct her vision or hang down. She was wearing a short skirt with trousers rolled up to her knees. She was bent over, sweating, and was busy in the golden fringe field with a sickle.

Luo Xuanyan doesn't know much about farming. As an emperor, he only knows about spring planting, summer cultivation, autumn harvest, and winter storage, plus the knowledge of the yield per mu. He doesn't know the details at all. He needs to distinguish the types of crops , if he has never been out of the palace, he may not know anything about it, but he has been out of the palace and passed by the farm.

In the past six months, because of his frequent visits to Qinghui Hall, he already had a definite understanding of some vegetables and fruits, but before these golden ears grew, he really didn't see what these ears were.Not long ago, when these ears had grown into a somewhat familiar shape, he specially picked some and asked the agronomists, who told him that the long plants that these ears often saw looked like grain, but in fact they were not at all. It cannot be used. The seeds of this ear are too small, and the shell is too hard. It is very difficult to peel off the shell. Even if the seeds inside are removed, no matter whether it is boiled or fried, the seeds are too hard to swallow.

After hearing it, he no longer paid attention to it, and only thought that the continuation was for fun, and when he was alone in Qinghui Palace, there would always be times when he was bored, so he had to think of ways to entertain himself.Whether it is growing vegetables, flowers, wine making, or fishing, it is a way of living.

Luo Xuanyan's arrival just made Chengxu raise his head, without any surprise, even without Luo Xuanyan's frequent appearances in the past six months, with Chengxu's temperament, he would still be very calm towards the uninvited guests.However, since it was Luo Xuanyan who came, Chengxu would not let Luo Xuanyan be idle.

"Come here and help." Luo Xuanyan said it very naturally.

Luo Xuanyan is really used to inheriting such a yo oh himself.Only Luo Chengxu in this world dares to treat him like this, and he still can't express his opinion. Who told him to play the role of a person who is close to Luo Chengxu for good wine. For good wine, no matter how difficult Luo Chengxu is, he will To endure.But it's strange to say that he didn't feel angry about continuing such a natural and disrespectful behavior, but felt very fresh.

This time when he heard the call of the continuation, after doing a bit of entanglement and helplessness on the surface, he walked slowly to the continuation side as if compromising.

"Why?" In a rather reluctant tone.

"Put these," Chengxuan stopped harvesting, straightened up, and pointed to the harvested ears, "put them in those boxes, don't put the ear stems in too, shake it, and the seeds will fall Just fill it half full." Then he pointed to the bamboo baskets piled on the bluestone board, and taught Luo Xuanyan what to do.

These bamboo baskets are densely woven, basically no holes can be seen, and the bamboo baskets are not very big, half an arm's width, and the height is no more than five or six centimeters.

Luo Xuanyan did as Chengxu said, picked up some golden tassels and put them down on the side of the bamboo basket, then found a small low stool around, sat on the side of the bamboo basket, picked up the tassels, began to shake, and As I continued to say, the seeds on the tassels fell off easily, and fell into the bamboo basket with a rattling sound. The bamboo basket was woven tightly enough that the small seeds could not fall out of the bamboo basket.

Repeating the same job is a monotonous thing, but Luo Xuanyan is a very patient person, and he didn't feel irritable. After moving these things, the seeds he put in haven't met the requirements for succession, so he moved some more , stood up, turned his head to one side, and saw the rhizome that Chengxu was plucking.Some strange inheritance.

While moving the fringe, he asked. "Why are you making these? You can't eat them."

"Who said you can't eat it?" Cheng Xu replied.

Luo Xuanyan turned around when he heard the words, "Who in this world doesn't know that this thing can't be eaten." But he was secretly startled, because Chengxu is not a random person, he would ask like this, so that means, is this thing edible?But is it possible?It is common sense that this thing cannot be eaten.

"That's because they don't know how to do it." Chengxu showed his profound knowledge and the ignorance of the world very generously. Although Chengxu himself didn't mean it like this, but saying it like this really has a taste of looking down on all living beings.

"You will?" Luo Xuanyan didn't show surprise on his face, but also showed disbelief and disdain, but in fact, he had already begun to pay attention to every sentence in his heart.

"Of course." Cheng Xu who answered in this way was like Luo Xuanyan, thinking that he had nothing to do, and if he couldn't, why would he work so hard to do these things.If it's not edible, it's not a pretty thing, and it can't be appreciated, so why would he grow it.

Luo Xuanyan smacked his mouth and wanted to say something, but what finally came out was, "How?" If what Chengxu said is true, then this is a big deal, a very big deal.

The geographical location of Huan Kingdom is very good, there are many places where grain can be grown, and the weather is good this year. In the early court, he had already heard reports about this year's bumper harvest, but there is no such thing as a bumper harvest every year. Drought, flood I don’t know when it will come. At that time, there will be a shortage of food. Even if the food is stored in good years, it doesn’t matter. Food is needed for disaster relief, and the frontline and troops need food. In this way, no matter how much food is, there is never too much food. Put it in the warehouse Moldy inside is better than shortage.

Luo Xuanyan is not a short-sighted person, his vision is quite sharp and long-term, if this kind of ears that grow all over the mountains and plains are really edible, then there will be no food crisis in the Huan Kingdom. It can grow so flooding without taking care of it. Second, this thing has no requirements for soil quality. Third, it needs very little water.These advantages predestined that this thing could grow during a drought, and it could utilize the idle land in Huan that was not suitable for farming.

After a sum of calculations, will Huan still be short of food?The situation where there was a conflict between disaster relief and food support for the frontline, and hesitating between losing popular support and losing fighting opportunities, will never happen. Luo Xuanyan's calm heart couldn't help but stir when he thought about it.Of course, the premise of all this is that what the inheritance said is true.

"You put these seeds into the box first." Chengxu nuzzled and said to Luo Xuanyan.

Hearing Chengxu's instructions this time, Luo Xuanyan became more motivated, he wanted to know clearly whether what Chengxu said was true.

Luo Xuanyan became motivated, and his movements became quicker. After a while, the ears harvested today by Chengxu had already planted the seeds according to the requirements and put them into the frame. At this time, Chengxu also put the roots Well dug.

Seeing that there were still some tassels in the field, Luo Xuanyan asked, "Aren't these collected?"

Chengxu came out of the mud and shook his head, "No, this thing won't work if you let it sit overnight."

Luo Xuanyan didn't quite understand Chengxu's answer, but now is not the time to ask, he just needs to help Chengxu with the work first.

Continue to fetch a bucket of water by the well, rinse your feet off your own stains, and put on your slippers (don’t ask me why these slippers appear in this era, anyway, this is just a fiction, everyone, just think that slippers already exist Right.) After washing his feet, he took another bucket of well water, washed his hands in the bucket, and rinsed the roots in the mud.

"Grind these rhizomes into powder." After finishing this, put the rhizomes into the remaining bamboo basket, and said to Luo Xuanyan, seeing Chengxu's movement of moving things, Luo Xuanyan stepped forward very actively Help move.

Relying on his martial arts skills, Luo Xuanyan made great efforts to move the things to the stone mill in two or three baskets at a time. There were several large water tanks on the bluestone slab where the stone mill was placed. placed.

I have been similar to Chengxu for so long, but Chengxu has never taken Luo Xuanyan to the Qinghui Palace. Every time the two meet, they are in the front yard. When it rains, if it is Luo Xuanyan? Xuanyan didn't come, or he left early, so Luo Xuanyan's scope of activities in Qinghui Hall is really limited, and he hasn't been in the bedrooms and study rooms of Chengxuan, but he has been in the kitchen and utility room A few times, either I was ordered to get snacks, or I was to dig wine with a shovel.

Chengxu was busy, and Luo Xuanyan put his hands on the side, and the rhizome was turned into powder under the grinding of the stone mill.

Luo Xuanyan watched Chengxu pour the powder into the water tank, under the sunlight of participation, Luo Xuanyan saw that the water turned gray.

"The water has turned gray, so you can put the bamboo basket down." Chengxu picked up the lid, covered the bamboo basket with seeds, tied the rope tightly so that the lid would not fall off, and then put the bamboo basket into the water tank, and then used A wooden lid covers the tank.

Seeing what Chengxu did, Luo Xuanyan followed suit. While doing it, Chengxu told Luo Xuanyan the precautions. After the water tank is covered, don't lift it again, because the light can't be seen, and the cut off Sui, it should be processed in this way on the same day, and it will be considered useless overnight. After waiting for ten hours, this thing can be eaten.
