Qing Dynasty - Four Fu Jin Does Not Like Farming

Yaqi didn't expect that these two people would be able to open up their minds so quickly, thinking of chickens, ducks and geese.

"Even if you can't make clothes, you can also collect them and use them as cotton. After all, I have never heard of chickens, ducks and geese freezing themselves to death in winter?" Yaqi tilted her head and said innocently.

Yinreng glanced at the fourth younger sibling, saw that she had finished speaking, and lowered her head to clumsily knit gloves for the fourth younger brother. Although... the style looked unflattering, it was undeniable that what she said was quite right.

Chicken feathers, duck feathers, and goose feathers are not as easy to handle as wool. The servants have spent a lot of energy and found various methods, but they can't be spun into threads. Even if they are twisted into ropes, they are not as tough as wool threads. Pull and break.

Even if such things are forced into wool, they cannot be made into clothes.

Yinzhen and Yinreng couldn't see it, and felt a little bit unwilling to touch the fine fluff.

"Why don't you try using them as cotton?" Yinzhen thought of what his family Fujin had said, and looked at Yinfeng.

Yinfeng nodded.

But the embroiderer who made the clothes shook her head and said: "The fluff is so fine, it's easy to get out of the fabric, and it will gather into a ball, which can't be laid evenly."

Yaqi pretended to be curious and touched the treated goose down, and with a light tap, they flew all over the sky.

The fluff flutters beautifully, and it also feels a bit romantic. Yaqi looked at Yinzhen's head and body, and there was a thin white fluff, as if he had white hair.

Yinzhen has always been a well-behaved person, seeing him like this suddenly, Yaqi laughed very happily.

But... when you are too proud, it is easy to be extremely happy and sad.

Yaqi accidentally sucked the fluff into her nose, and felt uncomfortable instantly.

He sneezed several times in a row, and then Yinzhen saw that something was wrong, so he quickly pulled him out of the room.

After Yaqi was dragged out of the room by Yinzhen, her nose felt uncomfortable for a while, and then she pointed her red nose, and suddenly said: "Rub it with a thin oilcloth, then put this fur, and sew it into a small plaid the size of a palm. , How about making it into a quilt?"

Yinzhen stretched out his hand to help her smooth the hair on her head, and sighed: "Naughty has to be divided into places. Even if you want to play, you should wear a mask. Aren't you looking for trouble now?"

Yaqi smiled and said: "Isn't there you?" After speaking, she patted the white hair on top of his head.

Yinzhen looked at him helplessly, and said with a smile, "Are you? Naughty."

After finishing speaking, Yinzhen said again: "What you said just now has some truth. The oilcloth should be able to wrap it, and the small grids one by one are indeed... let them try it!"

The master opened his mouth, and the slave broke his legs.

As soon as Yinzhen went back and said it, the palace people began to think of various ways.

Oilcloth is too stiff, but use oil to combine with various fabrics, and then start experimenting.

Finally, after a lot of effort, the first goose down quilt was finally made.

Yinfeng touched the quilt which was much lighter than the cotton quilt, but he didn't care too much at first.

Because it is oilcloth, there is no way to embroider on it.Yinfeng felt that the quilt was not beautiful enough.

But after covering it all night, Yinfeng got up with several blisters on his mouth and a heat rash on his body. Although the material is not very comfortable, it is undeniable that this thing is really warm.

"Put on a cover, and use a softer cloth for the cover." Yinfeng drank the tea from the fire, looked at the quilt, and said, "Make another exquisite one, and send it back to the palace."

Kangxi received the quilt sent by his son all the way, and covered his body that night, and then covered his blistered lips the next day.

"I didn't expect this kind of thing to have such a magical effect. Baocheng did some practical things when he went out this time." Kangxi drank the fire-reducing soup and looked at the quilt, only to find that his son's late letter said it was What made it, couldn't help sighing.

When the prince went out, everything was done very beautifully, and Kangxi was satisfied and proud.

Liang Jiugong bowed his body and said with a smile: "The prince was brought up by you alone, the prince is excellent, and you, the emperor, are even more talented..."

"Okay, you old slave, if you don't know how to flatter, don't do it." Kangxi shook his head with a smile, drank the soup and medicine in one go, and stuffed the medicine bowl to him.

Wool is easier to obtain, but chicken feathers are a bit stiff, and a lot of ducks and geese will be killed for a quilt. Kangxi plans to continue to promote woolen sweaters without thinking about it.

At the end of September, thinking that the corn he planted was almost ripe, and should be able to be cooked and eaten, Yin Zhen wrote to Yin Qu again.

Yinyi originally thought that the fourth brother was not in the palace, so she could relax.

As a result, the fourth brother not only left enough radish and cabbage seeds for him to fill the elder brother's house like in previous years, but also wrote letters from time to time asking him to go to the Zhuangzi to see the growth of the crops.

Originally, he was not interested in the corn, but thought that since the fourth brother had arranged it, he would go and have a look, and there would be no harm.

In the end, when she saw the huge ears of corn, Yin Qu was stunned. The yield is too scary?

Did you grow it yourself?Why doesn't God have eyes and give people like me this talent?Isn't this a waste?

Looking back, the dense cornfields made his heart tremble.

He hurriedly stepped forward and opened one to take a look, the inside was yellow and clear...

Swallowing his saliva, Yinyu broke five and said to himself: "The fourth brother said that with the granules, you can cook and eat them? Who would eat this stuff? Forget it, let's cook a few first and try it. "

Yinyi broke off five tender corns, and asked people to cook them with the skins on. The corns were cooked quickly, and there was a sweet aroma. Yinyi hesitated, peeled off the skins, and opened his mouth to bite...

"Khan Ama!" After taking a bite and another bite, Yinti jumped up suddenly, and then hugged five corns, which were not too hot, wrapped them in clothes, hurried back to the palace, and rushed to the front of Qianqing Palace , and shouted: "Something went wrong!"

Kangxi was talking to Zhang Ying, when he heard this anxious voice, he hurriedly let Yinbi come in.

Yin Qu ran in with five cooked corns wrapped in clothes, and rushed in when she saw Kangxi.

"Stop, stop, stop, Yinyu!" Kangxi was already afraid that his sons would jump over and hug his thigh when they saw him, so he exclaimed hastily.

Yinti rushed to Kangxi's feet, knelt on the ground, and was about to open her clothes when she saw Zhang Ying and hesitated.

Seeing this, Zhang Ying hurriedly got up to leave, but Kangxi kept him.

"Aiqing stay put, my tenth elder brother loves to shout." Kangxi waved his hand, and then said to Yinyu: "What's the matter?"

Yin Qu hesitated for a moment, stood up, looked at Zhang Ying, then opened her clothes, revealing five corns, one of which had been peeled and bitten a few times.

"This is? Yumai?" Zhang Ying opened his mouth and said incredulously, "Why is it so big?"

He has seen Yumai, Fanbang grain, but the grains he has seen are sparse and the grains are very dry.

Kangxi also knew this. He sat on the chair and couldn't recover for a long time. He looked down at his son, and suddenly thought that Yinzhen had written a letter to Yinti, asking him to go to Zhuangzi, and he agreed.

So this is something new that Yinzhen planted?

"You... planted it?" Kangxi felt a little regretful at this time, Zhang Ying shouldn't be kept.

At this time, Zhang Ying didn't care about the emperor's face at all, and touched the corn with a thin layer of skin with trembling hands, trembling all over, blushing, and fell into ecstasy.

Seeing their ignorant appearance, Yinti regained her senses, and felt uncomfortable kneeling, so she sat directly on the ground.

He stretched out his hand and brought over the corn that he had eaten two bites, and said while eating: "Khan Ama, try it, I have someone cook it. This taste is not bad. It is delicious and high-yielding, and it is tender and boiled. The old ones are ground into flour..."

"Master Zhang, this isn't jade wheat, it's corn!" Yin Ni gave Zhang Ying a generalization by the way.The fourth brother said it was called corn, but it was corn, not jade wheat.

Zhang Ying nodded again and again, no matter what it is called, as long as it can produce high yield, it is a treasure.

Kangxi frowned when he saw that he had cooked so much all at once, and was about to teach him a lesson when he saw Yinju took two more.

"One for the imperial concubine and one for the ninth brother." Yin Ni said to Kangxi with a smile: "The fourth brother said that if it is familiar, give it to the imperial concubine."

Kangxi stretched out his hand and snatched it away. After thinking about it, he handed it to Liang Jiugong and said, "Go and send it to the imperial concubine, Yin, you and I will go out of the palace. Zhang Aiqing... Come with me!"

It was already boiled, Kangxi was dissatisfied no matter how dissatisfied, he still pulled the leaves, pulled off the jade wheat silk, and then opened his mouth to take a bite.

"My ninth brother sent someone to find these corn seeds, so why can't my ninth brother eat them?" Yinyi yelled hastily.

Kangxi carefully chewed the food in his mouth. After one bite, he looked at the ripe corn and handed one to Zhang Ying, and then asked Yinzhen to come over as well.

When Yinzhen came over, he looked at the corn handed to him by his tenth brother, rubbed his eyes, looked again, then opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "My fourth brother is definitely Shen Nong descending to earth, what kind of rags are in his hands, Has it become a rarity?"

"That's not it!" Yin Qu looked at his ninth brother happily eating with some greed, thinking that he knew how to cook a few more, and one would not be full at all.

"What do you mean?" Kangxi asked with a frown as he saw the unremitting flash in Yinji's eyes.

Yinbi curled her lips and said: "This food is so delicious, but those foreigners are so sloppy, they insist that it is unpalatable. It took the ninth brother a year to get the seeds himself. The fourth brother got the seeds from several sacks. Among the seeds, pick out the best one by one, soak the seedlings first, and then plant them one by one..."

Thinking that she participated in the work of the fourth brother all the way, Yinyi couldn't help complaining: "Khan Ama, you don't know, those foreigners are too bad, they are fooling people. They told us before that the corn is very picky. Non-fertile soil can’t be planted. Fart! My fourth brother and I don’t know anything, so we fumbled and planted several plots of land, and we were so tired that our waists were broken! It turned out that this thing doesn’t pick the ground.”

"And last time, they gave Brother Nine tomato sauce, and Brother Nine gave it to Sister-in-law Fourth. It was so rotten and unpalatable. The seeds they gave were all bad, and they couldn't be planted at all."

After Yinyu finished speaking, she still disdainfully said: "When I turn back, I will ask someone to put sacks on them, what the hell are they!"
