Farming Food Tycoon

The group of people crossed several ridges and came to the field where Brother Le and them were.

Yu Qingze introduced to Grandpa Chang and Jia Bao, they didn't know the magistrate. Brother Le and the others stood up and saluted the three adults.

Master Cai hurriedly said: "Don't be polite, this is not in the yamen, everyone keep busy."

Jiabao came over and called out: "Foster father."

"Hey." Mrs. Cai happily replied, watching Jiabao sweat a lot, wiped him, and asked, "Is it tired?"

Jiabao shook his head, smiled, and said: "It's okay. That foster father, I'll go busy first, we have to finish cutting this field in the morning."

"Okay, let's go." Master Cai replied.

Seeing that Jiabao cuts the crops now and looks decent, Master Cai said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm getting more sensible."

Yu Qingze smiled and replied: "Yes, now the small account in the store is capable of doing it."

Master Cai laughed, and then asked: "Are there any extra crop knives? Let's cut them too."

Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You want to go too?"

Master Cai nodded, then asked, "Why, doesn't it seem like I will?"

"No, I'll get a knife." Yu Qingze touched his nose, walked to the box he had cut, took his own, and then went to the dung bucket in the field, took two spares and walked over.

Yu Qingze gave the one he had used to Master Cai, "This one has been used, be sharper."

Master Cai changed hands and handed it to Luo Mingda.

Luo Mingda was stunned for a moment, and pointed at himself, "Me?"

Master Cai nodded and said, "Try it, you are Tongshan's parent official. You have to know how the people under your control live and work, experience it, and come on."

Speaking of this, Master Cai couldn't help but shove the cutting knife into Luo Mingda's hand.

Lominda:...

"Sir, why don't you come, Lord Luo has never done this before..." The county prime minister said quickly when he saw it.

"Don't worry, this is yours." Mrs. Cai handed a cutting knife to Xian Cheng again.

County Cheng:...

"Okay, let's go on." Master Cai took off his robe, handed it to his entourage, then rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go into battle.

Seeing that all the prefects had gone to cut, Luo Mingda and Xian Cheng had to take off their outer robes too, and, following Master Cai's appearance, rolled up their sleeves and walked to Daohe.

"Do you need me to demonstrate to you?" Yu Qingze asked.

"You can demonstrate to them both." As Master Cai said, he squatted down directly, and then he cut the side that Yu Qingze had cut before, and the action was kind of like that.

When Yu Qingze saw that Mr. Cai was fine, he turned to look at Luo Mingda and Xian Cheng.

Luo Mingda handed the cropping knife in front of him.

Yu Qingze took it over with a smile, and demonstrated to them as he spoke.

When it was over, Luo Mingda squatted down with a frown, following Yu Qingze's appearance, grasping the sesame seeds with his left hand and exerting force with his right hand.

brush-

Not all cut off in the first play. He frowned again and tried harder. This time he cut off, but with too much effort, he stabbed back and almost sat down.

But looking at the cut off, Luo Mingda smirked, and then moved on to the next...

Yu Qingze watched from the side, smiled, and reminded aloud: "My lord, you can put more knives underneath."

"Oh, so?" Luo Mingda heard the words and cut a bit with the knife against the ground.

"Well, yes, that's it."

Hearing that the three adults were going to cut the crops, Jia Bao and Chang Hao secretly looked over here, laughing while watching.

Yu Qingze walked over, gently gave each of them a brain collapse, and said: "Look at it, cut it quickly."

The two of them touched their foreheads and laughed, then cut them off.

But the two of them didn't look at it, but the other villagers in the nearby field were watching curiously. It's quite strange that the adults in the city have come to harvest the fields.

The two entourages of Master Cai gave the clothes of the three adults to Mr. Sun, then walked to Jiabao and Chang Hao, took the cutting knives in their hands, and squatted down to cut them.

Jiabao and Chang Hao looked at the two eldest guards, and they cut much faster than them. They went to the field to pour water and sit on the ridge to rest.

It was still early, and before noon, Yu Qingze thought about the lunch meal. There were six more men, and the food at home was not enough.

He walked over and discussed with Grandpa Chang. Then he would buy a fish from the uncle by the river, and then kill a chicken, plus the original dishes at home, it should be almost the same.

Master Cai cut for about a quarter of an hour, squatted tired, stood up and moved a bit.

Yu Qingze walked over and said, "My lord, let me come."

Master Cai handed the knife to Yu Qingze and said, "Come on, then. I cut too slowly."

Yu Qingze took the knife, and while cutting it, he whispered to Master Cai: "My lord, you are not afraid of Master Luo's temper?"

Master Cai knelt down, sighed, and whispered: "His father wrote to me and asked me to take care of it. Hey, my nature is not bad. I'm used to having fun. I never thought about business."

Yu Qingze sighed after hearing the words, and then said: "You brought him here just to let him experience it?"

Master Cai shook his head and said, "Well, this is incidental. I was watching Wei'er write a letter saying that when he came to play before, Chang Hao told him that you have made a few new crops and made a kick. Gu Ji, I just want to come and see. The people are living too hard, if there is any way to increase food production and income, so that they can eat, I want to try. Mr. Sun is the one I found in Yunzhou. People who have more ideas, I brought him."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze said: "So that's it, I will show you when I go back. There is one called Didan, which has been planted in the north, and it has been effective. We can also plant it here. We have planted it for a season. Come out. I was thinking about planting another season, and when I planted more potatoes, I would mobilize the villagers to let them plant together. This thing is very full, and it is mainly harvested in winter and spring. When the harvest is finished, it is almost ready to plant. It just happens to be connected to spring seedling planting."

Master Cai heard the words and said happily: "That means there can be multiple seasons in the field?"

"Yes." Yu Qingze nodded and said: "This thing seems to have a good survival rate. It can be eaten as a dish, or it can be steamed or simmered like a sweet potato. The taste is not bad. I will make it for you at noon."

"That's great!" Master Cai stood up with excitement, and then said: "You cut quickly, we'll go back and have a look after cutting. I'll go talk to Mr. Sun first."

After that, he went to find Mr. Sun.

Thanks to the help of the two entourages of Master Cai, the harvest was much faster.

Luo Mingda and Xian Cheng did not cut quickly. Of course, Yu Qingze did not count on the two of them, so after about two quarters of an hour, Yu Qingze asked Jiabao and Chang Hao to take over the cutting knives of the two adults.

Luo Mingda stood up, his hands were dirty, especially the right hand holding the knife, and the knuckles were covered with mud. But turned around and looked at the small strip of rice that I cut behind him. Although it was a little crooked, there was an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. What's the matter?

He smiled, raised his arm, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"My lord, there is water in the ditch of Tiantou, so you can wash it." Yu Qingze reminded.

Luo Mingda and Xian Cheng went to wash their hands.

This seven-cent-large field was completely cut before noon. The group of people packed up and went home.

After entering the house, Luo Mingda and Xian Cheng discovered that Yu Qingze’s house is really big, much better than some of the houses in the city, and without those winding paths, flower beds and rockery, the middle of the yard looks special. Spacious.

"Hey, Boss Yu, what is that?" Xian Cheng asked while pointing to the courtyard.

On the right side of the yard, there are three plants with more than 30 pots. The tallest row, under the green branches, is covered with bunches of red and green fruits. The round ones are particularly beautiful. In the remaining two rows, some are still seedlings, some of the branches and leaves have grown quite tall, and small yellow flowers have bloomed.

"That's a persimmon, brought back from the south by a brother. We don't have it here yet. We planted the short two rows of fruitless ones by ourselves." Yu Qingze explained.

Because I was afraid that it would be difficult to manage the planting outside, the children would definitely pick the red fruits when they saw it. Grandpa Chang would germinate the previous seeds and plant them in the pots. Then the ripe tomatoes, Grandpa Chang collects the seeds, and will try to plant one or two pots. The more you plant, the more pots there will be.

"Hey, I know this. There are seeds in the palace garden. The red ones are very beautiful." Luo Mingda said happily, looking at the persimmon.

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "I will fry a plate later for you to taste."

When Luo Mingda heard the words, he was surprised and asked: "This, can you eat it?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "It's edible, it tastes pretty good."

Mr. Sun and Mrs. Cai walked to the tomato and looked.

Hearing that it tasted good, Luo Mingda's eyes brightened, he leaned over to hold up the tomato and smelled it, and said, "No one in the capital eats it. They just used it to see it. It turns out it's okay to eat it."

"Yes, you can eat it." Yu Qingze smiled, and said to Master Cai and the others: "Master Cai, I will take you to see the eggs."

"Good, good, go." Upon hearing the words, Master Cai led a few people with Yu Qingze to the storage room at the back.

Yu Qingze took out a small basket of potatoes, showed them, and told them the benefits of this thing.

Lord Cai and Mr. Sun discussed again.

"I heard that there are more vegetables?" Master Cai asked.

"Yes, I will take you to the field after dinner."

After taking them to see the potatoes, Yu Qingze went to the kitchen for lunch. Mr. Cai and Mr. Sun were discussing around the tomatoes and the potatoes in their hands, and Xian Cheng followed them and listened to them.

Master Cai saw Luo Mingda sitting in the room drinking tea leisurely, so he called him over and asked him to listen.

Luo Mingda, who was so hungry that he was still working when he was not full in the morning, said:...

Fortunately, at this time Jiabao brought a few plates of dim sum, and Chang Hao brought them a stool again. Master Luo is complete, sitting and eating snacks while listening to them.

Xian Cheng watched him eating snacks one by one, and kindly reminded him: "My lord, don't eat too much. You will have lunch later."

With such a reminder, Lominda suddenly stopped eating snacks. Yu Qingze cooks the food at noon today, so he has to keep his stomach to eat the food.

Upon seeing this, Master Cai shook his head helplessly. Then, while discussing with Mr. Sun, he asked Luo Mingda's views from time to time, forcing him to listen carefully to what they said, and from time to time he had to answer a sentence or two.

It was also at this time that Luo Mingda learned that the reason Mr. Cai came to Niutou Village was for these new crops, not for the dishes made by Yu Qingze.

He listened to Mr. Sun and Mrs. Cai there thinking about how much grain and income the new crops could increase the farmers' output, how many people could fill their stomachs, and how many people could avoid starvation. He couldn't help but straighten up slowly. , His expression gradually became serious...

Luo Mingda was surprised when Jiabao said it was ready for dinner. Why did he become fascinated just now without knowing it?

He exhaled a big breath and immediately got up and went to the well to wash his hands.

I can finally eat!

Lunch is naturally very rich, and there are several dishes that have not been seen in restaurants. Such as chicken stewed with mushrooms, potato stewed chicken nuggets, pickled fish, tomato scrambled eggs, hot and sour potato shreds, and other home-cooked dishes.

A large table is full and the aroma is overflowing.

Both of Mr. Sun and Mrs. Cai's entourage had never eaten Yu Qingze's dishes. After eating the first bite, they didn't care to talk to Mrs. Cai and the others anymore, and they all ate.

Master Luo Mingda was not polite, eating happily and contentedly, and secretly said in his heart that fortunately, he kept his belly.

After lunch, as an after-dinner walk, Yu Qingze took Mr. Cai and his party to the field again. At this time, it was the end of September, and the sun was not so big, not too hot.

In the field, Grandpa Chang had already sown three kinds of vegetables in July. Now the cabbage has grown very well, and it is estimated that it will start to head soon; the cauliflower has begun to bear small balls; snow peas have grown too. Lush.

Yu Qingze showed them cauliflower, cabbage and snow peas one by one, and then introduced them to the characteristics and benefits of these three dishes. Master Cai and Master Sun couldn't help but nod their heads and straightened.

After watching the new crops, Mr. Cai discussed with Yu Qingze and Luo Mingda and the others, and wanted Yu Qingze to cultivate seeds specifically. Then the seeds would be purchased in the name of the county government and then distributed to farmers to promote planting.

At first, Luo Mingda didn’t understand why he wanted to buy under the name of the county government, or the county prime minister whispered to him in his ear. When the time comes, the promotion will be effective and farmers’ lives have improved. There are no more people who starve to death. This is a great achievement for the county government.

Luo Mingda listened and realized, so he nodded and agreed.

Yu Qingze also agreed, but he also put forward the condition that it must be the first demonstration planting in Niutou Village.

Regarding this, Lord Cai and Luo Mingda had no objection, and the three parties reached a consensus.

Having said that, Master Cai and his group experienced the magic of stepping on the threshing machine in the afternoon, and they were all amazed.

Mr. Sun even wanted to take it apart and take a look.

After discussion with Mr. Cai and Mr. Sun, Mr. Cai asked Yu Qingze again if he could submit the invention of the rice bed and this foot-threshing machine to the court for the benefit of the people.

After hearing this, Yu Qingze pulled Master Cai aside and asked, "Can this be counted as your political achievement?"

Master Cai didn’t hide from him, and said directly: “I’m just presenting it as the discoverer. The court has set up special rewards in this regard. If it proves to be useful after confirmation by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, the Holy Supreme will award them based on contributions. Rewards are given to the producers. Of course, the government office will definitely be able to get some light. If the sage is happy, it is estimated that they will get some rewards, and they will definitely be able to add points when the year-end officials are assessed."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze said: "The rice bed was made last year, and many traders have already taken it to the north. I don’t know if it’s useful? However, I still have a drawing of a wind valley cart, but the village chief’s house hasn’t made it yet. Come out, it’s used to separate the rice grains from the rice. It’s very useful."

"Oh? Really? Can you show me?" Master Cai asked.

Yu Qingze drew him directly on the ground, briefly said, and finally he said: "I have to discuss this matter with the village chief's family, because I agreed to cooperate with them before. I have to ask questions. Ask their opinions."

Master Cai nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, you can discuss with them. But I hope it can be promoted to the whole country. And it will take some time for us to submit it. You can make it and sell it during this time. Besides, You originally made this thing, and you will do it here. The imperial court doesn’t want to promote it so quickly, so don’t worry about this issue."

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to discuss with the village chief in the evening. How many days are you staying in Tongshan?"

Master Cai said: "I will go back to Yunzhou the day after tomorrow. I will go to the county office to see the situation. If you discuss the results, you can go to the county office to find me."

"OK."
