Datang Nongwang

Chapter 387
at this time.

All the villagers went to the other side of the valley.

After seeing the little baby in the village busy under the leadership of Dadu, the villagers felt relieved.

"I said the little lunatic is true. Why do you have to name those big white geese of his, which made me run and cry." Erya's mother saw that her daughter was safe and sound, and began to resent the little lunatic.

"That's right, the little lunatic took the name of the person, but this crying and yelling made us all very upset." A villager echoed.

And this moment.

All the villagers heard the sound of knocking clappers.

The complaints about the little lunatic stopped immediately.

The sound of knocking on the clapper means that it is time for breakfast.

Moreover.

The children in the village are fine at the moment, and such a big oolong trouble is just tossing them. As long as the children are fine, at most it means a few words.

All the villagers then shouted the name of their own children into the valley, so that they could get pancakes for dinner.

Li Chongyuan was busy for nearly an hour.

That's it for lunch.

The weight of the big white goose is about ten catties.

Moreover, its simmering time takes a long time.

This is not.

Lunch also started just at noon.

"Uncle, try it. Fourth brother is the best at cooking. I dedicate this big white goose to Uncle." On the table, Wan'er was courteous to Li Yuan.

There is a saying.

Children with filial piety are popular everywhere.

This is not.

At this moment, Li Yuan, after Wan'er picked up a piece of goose meat for him, laughed heartily, "Okay, Uncle is very happy for Wan'er's filial piety, let's eat together, don't let this dish get cold."

With Li Yuan speaking.

The three of them stopped talking and began to move their chopsticks at the big pot of goose meat on the table.

As usual.

One dish is not enough for Li Yuan to eat.

Although the Tang State was not established for a long time, the Tang State was not that rich either.

But every time Li Yuan eats, there are dozens of dishes.

now.

After arriving at Lizhuang.

Whatever Li Chongyuan did, Li Yuan ate.

Just like today at noon.

Don't talk about ten dishes, even if there are five dishes.

on the table.

There are three dishes.

One must be this big white goose named Erya.

The other is mushrooms.

The third dish is just a wild green vegetable.

after all.

Goose meat is a big meat, and Li Yuan is not easy to eat too much oily meat, so this green vegetable has become a must-have dish.

lunch.

Li Yuan still has half a bowl of medicinal wine.

This is half a bowl less than yesterday, which can be regarded as satisfying Li Yuan's hunger.

And Jin's servant, who was waiting on the sidelines, basically wouldn't stop him anymore.

even.

Standing aside, seeing Li Chongyuan pouring wine for Li Yuan, he kept swallowing his saliva.

visible.

This golden servant is obviously a drinker.

after lunch.

Li Yuan ate too much.

Li Chongyuan ate too much.

Wan'er needn't mention that.

It goes without saying that the rice wine stuffed goose dish is a big dish.

and.

After a while, Wan'er will inevitably talk about eating rice wine and boring goose.

Unfortunately.

Li Chongyuan is lazy, and the number of times he is willing to do it is only a handful.

Wan'er, who was full of food, carefully helped Li Yuan back to the small courtyard, and sat on a chair.

As for Jinnai to serve them.

At this point it is already finishing.

After half an hour.

"Old Jin, I don't care. You have to pay the money for the big white goose. You killed me for the big white goose, and it wasn't me who killed me. Anyway, you have to pay for it." Just after Li Chongyuan went out, Wan'er took Jin The servant called out to the courtyard and pointed to the servant Jin to ask him for money.

Okay.

Originally Li Chongyuan wanted to settle the blame on Wan'er, but now she asked Jin Nei to pay the goose money.

As for Li Yuan, who was in meditation like an old monk, after hearing the voice outside the courtyard, a smile began to hang on his face again.

When Jin Neishi saw Wan'er asking him for money, he immediately became confused.

He really didn't expect it.

The lovely and generous Wan'er I once saw in the palace has now become that philistine, "Little lady, you see, I am just a servant. I have been on duty in the palace for so many years, but I really don't have much money. And , You asked me to beat the big white goose to death, saying it was for the master's family to eat, and I haven't eaten a piece of meat until now."

The servant Jin is wronged.

This rice wine stuffed the goose, he really didn't eat a piece of meat.

The soup is mixed with some soup cakes into the stomach.

When Wan'er asked him to pay, he was really wronged.

"I don't care, the fourth brother wants to keep my account, I don't agree, the big white goose was killed by you, so this account has to be charged on your head." Wan'er played tricks, and no one could stop it except Li Chongyuan , not to mention the golden servant.

The Jin servant, who was taken advantage of, looked at Wan'er who had gone back to the courtyard to chat with Li Yuan, and was really helpless, so he could only secretly sigh that he was too reckless.

Simultaneously.

I also made up my mind in my heart, don't listen to the orders of this unreasonable county head in the future, and do some sneaky things.

in the courtyard.

Li Yuan burst out laughing when he saw the servant Jin who had returned to the courtyard.

And Wan'er thought it was what she said that made her uncle so happy, so she started to talk more, "Uncle, I caught a lot of wild boars last year, and the fourth brother said that they would raise them and give birth to cubs when the time comes. Uncle, Would you like to see the wild boar?"

"Forget it, wild boars are nothing to see. Back then, when my uncle was fighting the world, he saw a lot of wild boars." Li Yuan raised his head and squinted his eyes, looked at Jin's servant, and responded to Wan'er.

Wan'er didn't care at all, instead she continued with her words.

At this moment, Li Yuan stood up and asked Xiang Wan'er, "Why did your fourth brother go out? Why hasn't he come back for so long?"

"Fourth brother went to the valley, and said he wanted to dig turtle eggs." Wan'er responded.

After Li Yuan heard the words, he looked outside the courtyard and then at the sky, "Come on, let's go to the valley to have a look."

Wan'er got the words, and hurriedly took out those gadgets that belonged to her from the miscellaneous room.

"Old Jin, you carry it, and I'll lead Uncle." Wan'er made a small basket, put the tools in it, then took Li Yuan's hand, and led it out of the courtyard.

Lao Jin looked at Wan'er who was out of the courtyard speechlessly, and shook his head lightly.

Two quarters of an hour passed.

Several people walked slowly to the top of the mountain depression.

Wan'er pointed to the valley, "Uncle, look, the fourth brother is right below, let's go down quickly."

In the valley at this time.

In addition to Li Chongyuan, there are all the children in the village.

In the early morning, Dadu received instructions from his young master, and came to this valley to dig out the eggs of soft-shelled turtles buried in the sand, so as to hatch young soft-shelled turtles.

Turtle fish got a lot last year.

In the valley near the edge of the waterlogged water, there are quite a few pools where a bunch of soft-shelled turtles are raised.

The soft-shelled turtle begins to lay eggs every March and April.

In midsummer, it is the peak egg-laying season for soft-shelled turtles.

There is a saying.

Every turtle egg is money.

Li Chongyuan is not allowed to waste any turtle eggs, otherwise, he would not have ordered Dadu to collect turtle eggs.

"Xiao Langjun, we dug all morning, not as much as you said, we have already dug this area, Xiao Lang, you don't need to dig any more." Dadu looked at Li Chongyuan who was turning over a piece of paper early in the morning. I rummaged through the sand for soft-shelled turtle eggs.

Li Chongyuan raised his head and rolled his eyes at Dadu, "Why did I find several eggs after digging through them? Be careful, each egg is worth a lot of money."

Eggs are worthless, but soft-shelled turtles are.

of course.

Live turtles are not worth much either.

What is valuable is the dishes placed on the wine table in the Yingbin Building.

Feeling speechless, I hurriedly called a few babies over, and went over the mud and sand that I turned over in the morning.

Digging turtle eggs is not easy.

And it's the children who moved their hands, so there may be a lot of leaks.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, uncle is here." Just as Li Chongyuan was rummaging through the mud and sand, Wan'er's voice came.

After Li Chongyuan heard the sound, he looked towards the place where the sound came from.

immediately.

He quickly got up, wiped his hands casually, and greeted him, "Uncle, why are you here? It's windy here, so don't suffer from the cold."

"It's okay, just now I heard from Wan'er that you are digging turtle eggs here. Uncle has never seen it before, so he was curious, so he came here to see it." Li Yuan replied with a smile.

Li Yuan must have seen turtle fish.

But he had never seen this turtle egg.

original.

As Tang Guogong, when he was in Jinyang, his status was so high, how could he see this stuff.

then.

He became the emperor of the Tang Kingdom again, leading troops to fight everywhere, and he didn't have that leisure time.

Even if he became the Supreme Emperor.

Since he had never left the palace, it was impossible for this turtle egg to be brought into the palace for him to see.

eat.

It must have been eaten, but I have never seen it.

Li Chongyuan didn't take it seriously, and led Li Yuan to the mud and sand beside the pool, "Uncle, these are soft-shelled turtle eggs."

"It turns out that it looks like this. Uncle has learned a lot. By the way, what's the use of digging up these turtle eggs? Are you going to make soup?" Li Yuan looked at the turtle eggs in the basket, very confused asked.

Li Chongyuan suddenly heard such a question.

At first, he thought that Li Yuan should at least know what turtle eggs were used for, or he could also understand why they dig turtle eggs.

But after thinking about it in his mind, he finally understood the reason, "Uncle, turtle fish are raised in several ponds here. Although the eggs are not produced much now, if it comes to midsummer, there will be a lot of turtles." Once there are too many soft-shelled turtle eggs, when they hatch out of their shells, there will be small turtle fish everywhere. And once there are too many soft-shelled turtle fish, they may kill each other because there is no food source."

Li Chongyuan's explanation is also the simplest and most straightforward.

Turtle fish are said to be omnivores.

But if there are no insects or fish and shrimps, they will also be vegetarians.

But if there is no more vegetarian food, then you can eat whatever you see.

Cannibalizing each other is just the instinct of animals.

Don't talk about animals.

Even human beings, who are advanced animals, cannibalize each other in the absence of food.

After listening to Li Chongyuan's words, Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.

"Fourth brother, doesn't Dadu often feed with food? Besides, I see that Dadu leaves a lot of pig offal for feeding every time. How can there be no source of food?" Wan'er, who didn't understand, asked out A question for her age to ask.

Whenever Li Chongyuan sees this girl asking such a question, he really wants to slap this girl.

That's it.

It can be said that Li Chongyuan explained it to her for countless times.

From raising chickens, ducks and geese, Li Chongyuan explained it.

But when the girl asked this question again, Li Chongyuan ignored it, "Uncle, look, there are a lot of ticks in the pond over there, and I happened to get a big tick that weighed more than a catty." Fish, tonight I will make tick fish porridge for my uncle."

When Li Yuan heard the tick fish porridge, he was taken aback for a moment, but then he didn't know what he was thinking and frowned.

Looking at this state, Li Chongyuan thought he had said something wrong.

Instead, Jin's servant walked over cautiously, tugged on Li Chongyuan's sleeve, and signaled him to pay attention.

Li Chongyuan didn't understand, so he looked at Jin's servant, and the meaning of seeking solutions in his eyes was self-evident.

After half a day.

Only then did Li Yuan frowned and said: "Okay, very good. Tick fish nourishes the stomach. Uncle used to eat tick fish porridge a lot. Before, when your uncle and grandmother were alive, they made tick fish porridge for uncle to eat. Ever since you After my great-uncle passed away, my great-uncle hasn’t eaten tick fish porridge for many years.”

When Li Chongyuan heard it, he realized that what he said suddenly had aroused Li Yuan's memories.

Fortunately, it's not a bad thing, otherwise I really don't know how to speak.

"Uncle, although I have never met my great-uncle and grand-uncle, if my uncle still remembers what my great-uncle did, my nephew and grand-nephew can try it, so that my uncle can have a good time." Uncle and grandma, come to the recipe of tick fish porridge.

After Li Yuan heard this, he smiled and waved his hands, "Forget it, do whatever you want, then do whatever you want, and let him pass the past."

here.

Li Chongyuan couldn't talk anymore.

then.

Li Chongyuan took Li Yuan along and began to introduce his pools.

"What are you going to use those empty pools for? It looks like they were newly dug." After watching it, Li Yuan pointed curiously at the newly dug pools.

Li Chongyuan then responded one by one.

The valley is just that big.

No matter how much the pond can be dug, it won't yield much.

And the newly dug pond was also dug out by some people led by Dadu after the year.

There are only three pools.

The function of the pond is also very simple, it is for Li Chongyuan's future help to hatch fish fry.

after all.

Those three pools are at the southernmost end of the valley, even upstream of the flood water.

And Li Chongyuan's major is to learn how to raise fish, so this hatchery must also be built.

only.

At present, it is immature, and the pond has only been dug out, and the place where the water enters and exits has not yet been done.

"Hatch fry? Why? Yuaner, you can really do it?" After listening to Li Chongyuan's explanation, Li Yuan really couldn't understand Li Chongyuan's context.

original.

He also thought that Li Chongyuan's going to Lizhuang to work as a farmer was at most just a transitional stage.

But right now, seeing that Li Chongyuan has a lot of things to do, and many of them are being done, he is really shocked.

Li Chongyuan even had to do the matter of hatching fish fry, and he was in a fog.

On the other hand, Wan'er waved her hands and responded: "Uncle, uncle, I know, I know, the fourth brother said that fish are divided into male and female, as long as the female is pregnant, it will lay eggs, and then put them in the pond to eat." It can produce fry."
