Chapter 3176 ear of rice

Zhou Man and Mingda just leaned against the wall and listened to the little Qian inside who solved everyone.

When the shopkeepers and owners who came here turned around, they were startled to see Zhou Man and Mingda standing behind them, then immediately smiled and saluted, "Meet the princess and Lord Zhou."

Mingda nodded slightly, and the shopkeepers and Zhou Man complimented: "Pork is popular in the county recently, and I heard that the most delicious one is Mrs. Zhou, so we have the cheek to ask for advice. Mrs. Zhou is worthy of being Mrs. Zhou's sister-in-law and has already agreed. teach us."

Zhou Man smiled lightly and said, "I was brought up by my sister-in-law. It should be my sister-in-law who deserves to be my sister-in-law."

After everyone was stunned for a moment, they nodded their heads in agreement, and then all the good words for not wanting money were thrown at Xiao Qian.

The little Qian Shi from the door came out, glanced at Zhou Man angrily, and pulled her and Mingda into the room together, "Why don't you come in since you're back? The two children are clamoring to go out to play."

Pull people in and send all the guests away.

As soon as the door was closed, Zhou Man asked, "Sister-in-law, have you agreed with them?"

Xiao Qian responded and said with a smile: "It's all home-cooked dishes, but some dishes are not available here, so I'll teach them, it doesn't take much effort."

Many people have been recruited to teach one five hundred characters, and they teach several at a time. One dish is only repeated three times. It is very simple for Xiao Qian, and the money is easy to earn.

"However, there are also reasons why the pigs have been castrated. The meat of the castrated pigs needs to be less flavorful, and it can be made delicious with less aniseed."

Zhou Man nodded: "Now all the people who raise barrows are from Guantian Zhuangzi, and there are not many farmers who are willing to castrate their pigs. After this time, there should be many people who are willing."

Veterinarian Pan has been continuing the great career of capons in Beihai County, and his apprentice Sun Xin has developed the great career of capons, but both careers are still mainly for Guantian Zhuangzi, and most people in the village who raise pigs and chickens are reluctant to try.

First, they do not believe that castrated pigs and chickens will grow faster and taste better; second, they are worried about the death of castrated pigs and chickens.

But nothing is a problem in the face of money. If there is, it must be that the income from buying and selling pigs and chickens is not enough to make people tempted.

But this is not possible.

Most of the pigs raised in the years ago and in the beginning of spring can be slaughtered. Guantian Zhuangzi is built next to the village, and they communicate with the local villagers.

There are several large Guantian Zhuangzi, because there are many long-term workers living there, and they also form a large market with the nearby villages.

So when the villagers saw someone going to Zhuangzi to catch pigs, the pigs were chased out. The pigs that had only been raised for seven or eight months were fatter and bigger than the ones they had raised for a year before.

The pig was tied up, and several people weighed a large log together, and then counted the money...

Seeing that the string of copper plates was stuffed into Zhuangzi's hands, all the villagers onlookers were very excited.

The thoughtful person couldn't help but ask, "Steward, how do you raise Zhuangzi's pigs? Can't they eat white rice every day? How can they grow so fast?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's growing too fast too."

Guanshi said: "Like you, we are hunting hogweed. There are vegetables grown in Zhuangzi, and occasionally some bean flour is mixed in."

"Then how did it grow so fast?"

"My pig is castrated," the steward said: "Our adults have said long ago that castrated pigs grow faster, and so do chickens. If you don't believe me, go to the chickens raised in our village. Are the capons? Longer than a rooster?"

"It's strange. With a disability, why is it easy to grow flesh? Is it also human?"

"Then it depends on the father-in-law in the palace, right?"

"In the county seat, there is a servant beside the princess."

Seeing that their topic was getting more and more derailed, the steward hurriedly interrupted them and brought the topic back again, "Don't you want to raise pigs? You can go to Guantian Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the county and ask, our piglets are all from The ones you get there are all castrated, the price is higher, and you can raise them when you get them back.”

He said: "You are raising them now, and you can just kill and eat meat when you plant in the spring next year. How wonderful."

"Isn't that just in time for winter and spring? There wasn't much to eat then, wasn't it?"

"The pigs eat a lot, I'm afraid I have to grow a lot of vegetables."

"And beans. That thing raises livestock, and the hair of cattle and horses is smooth and shiny, not to mention pigs."

Everyone talked lively. It seems that raising pigs is difficult, but the next day, many people went to the county town to ask about the piglets.

Veterinarian Pan, who had been free recently, became busy again, and hurried back to the county office to find Bai Shan, but Bai Shan went to the countryside and was not in the county office.

Mr. Cui, who was in charge of the county government affairs with Wei Dong, thought about it and said, "First, find the appropriate-age piglets from the village below, or continue to send people to buy them from outside the county."

He said: "The sows raised in Zhuangzi will not be able to give birth until next year, and there will definitely be insufficient supply this year."

Lieutenant Dong Xian stood aside and shook his head, "Pork prices will definitely increase during the Chinese New Year this year, Guantian Zhuangzi can make a lot of money, I went out to eat today, and the customers in the store, eight out of ten tables ordered pork dishes. This was rare before."

Mr. Cui said: "Now Guantian Zhuangzi is very profitable. We sell pigs outside every day, and each Zhuangzi will have an autumn harvest. When the autumn grains come down, it will be another sum of money."

Even if they don't sell grain, they can still supply the saltworks and the wharf, as well as the grain of their own village, at a much lower cost.

Mr. Cui was calculating in his heart, but he didn't know that Bai Shan was standing on the edge of a Zhuangzi's field, watching the long worker put the cut rice ears in his palm.

He weighed the weight, his eyes brightened, "This year's new rice seeds are all planted."

Most of the long-term workers used to cultivate the land. Anyone who has grown rice in the family can feel the difference between this plant and the previous one. However, the adults have never let them spread the word. After surrounding the rice, he asked excitedly, "Sir, can we grow this rice in our hometown?"

Bai Shan clenched the ear of rice in his hand, looked at the golden rice field, and said word by word, "It's definitely possible!"

Because it was about the grain, Bai Shan kept waiting for the results after the harvest, and didn't go home for ten days. He wrote back to the county government and asked Zhou Man to send people to get in touch as far away as Luojiang County. Zhou Lizhong.

All the new rice seeds in the first field were harvested, weighed once after threshing, and then called again after drying. Bai Shan wrote down the data and sealed it in the fold, and carefully selected a rice ear and fold at hand. Put them together in a box.

He summoned Da Ji and said to him, "Send this box back to the capital yourself."

Daji was surprised, "Lord, the safety here..."

"Just leave it to the Janissaries," Bai Shan said, "Now this is the more important thing, and salt is slightly inferior to it, not to mention that the dust has almost settled in Jiangnan, and no one will come to kill me."

Bai Shan handed the box to him and said, "Take it back and give it to sir, and he will send it to the palace."

Daji can only take the box, bow his head and say, "Yes."
