My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Xu Chunshan and his party set out in early June, but it was really hot all the way. Fortunately, they stopped to rest during the hottest period of the day, so they didn't sweat while on the way.

Therefore, the journey that was originally ten days took a few more days.

By the time we arrived in Beijing, it was already late June.

The two acres of golden land in Balizhuang have already attracted the attention of interested people.

As early as last autumn, high-yielding rice was planted in Balizhuang. Then all the rice was distributed to the various states and governments as high-yield grain seeds for sowing in the spring of this year. Balizhuang naturally planted the same high-yield grain seeds this year.

Seeing the ears of rice growing, Mr. Cheng wanted to see how the ears of rice in other places were different from those in Balizhuang. No, he went to Balizhuang twice and found no difference in the rice, but he found it in a field of rice. These two acres grew strange crops that had never been seen before.

When I asked Zhuangtou, he didn't know anything about it. He only knew that the two acres of land were cultivated and planted by the uncle and the old lady in the spring.

Master Cheng was itching in his heart and wished he could fly to Yiyang Mansion to ask for details, but he also knew that Uncle Zhongyi was busy getting married, so how could he come back so soon?
So, I went to Balizhuang every three days to admire this rare crop, and pulled it all over. I endured the itching in my heart and looked forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for Uncle Zhongyi to return to the capital.

No, guessing that the time is almost up, I have already sent Ren to watch at the city gate, so that I can know as soon as possible when I see the Xu family entering Beijing.

Therefore, Xu Chunshan had just arrived in Beijing and had just entered the house. Before he could take a breath, Mr. Cheng came to the door in a hurry.

I don't care whether it's rude or not.

But they are all old friends, and Xu Chunshan also knows why he is here and has been waiting for him for a long time, so he is not surprised at all.

But when he met someone, he was good at re-enacting things, "Mr. Cheng, what happened? You are so anxious that you are sweating."

Mr. Cheng waved his hand, opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, there are two acres of novel crops planted in Bali Village. They grow like small trees, taller than people, with sticks hanging from them. What on earth are these?" To be honest, I couldn't help but be curious. I peeled off the skin of the stick and looked at it. There were actually golden particles inside. The rice was also golden. Could this be food? I had never seen it before! "

Xu Chunshan listened and felt in his heart that Mr. Cheng is worthy of being the Minister of Agriculture, in charge of agricultural affairs. It is incredible to see how much he cares about the crops in the fields.

But there was a look of surprise on his face, "The stick has grown? I was heartfelt after receiving Wu Zhuangtou's letter. No, I rushed back even if it was hot, just for fear of missing it. The harvest of this stick!"

"It's done! The leaves are all yellow! I guess we can harvest it!" Mr. Cheng looked at him eagerly and urged: "So what is this stick? Is it food? How to eat it?"

Xu Chunshan told the story about how his daughter accidentally discovered some weird-shaped trees in Daqingshan last year and brought back the sticks growing on them out of curiosity.

"Mr. Cheng also knows that my daughter has always been a messy person. She likes to go into the mountains whenever she has nothing to do. She is very enthusiastic about those flowers and grass! When I brought this stick back, our whole family was very excited. I was so surprised that I couldn’t figure it out after thinking about it for a long time. I was afraid it was something poisonous and I wanted people to throw it away!

My daughter was very courageous and said that when she peeled off the stick one by one, it smelled like grain and she couldn't possibly eat it!We first found two chickens to feed the chickens. The chickens were delicious and were still jumping around after two days. No, we tasted them with confidence. Not to mention, these chickens were fried with oil and crackled. It smells really delicious when it comes out!

But since I don’t have much, I don’t know how to grow this thing or whether it can be grown in the ground. After all, it was found on the mountain. Therefore, at the beginning of this spring, my father, my brothers, and I toiled two acres of land to see how to grow it. , I never thought that it would actually be grown! "

When Master Cheng heard that it was Princess Jiacheng who discovered this thing again, he thought about the potatoes from before. Wasn't that what Princess Jiacheng discovered accidentally in the mountains?

It seems that he has neglected his duty as an agricultural officer. It seems that he will have to run more into the mountains in the future to see if he can also discover some novel crops!

But the most important thing right now is this stick.

"Uncle, without further ado, let's go to Balizhuang early tomorrow morning to see how we can harvest these two acres of sticks? How much can we harvest?"

Xu Chunshan responded with all his heart. The grains were already ripe, so they had to harvest them quickly. If they grew any longer, the ground would be infested with insects.

If it wasn't for the purpose of being a hero who didn't know what to grow for the first time and was just trying to figure out what to do, and because they happened to be going back to Yiyang Mansion, otherwise they would have broken off some tender grains and cooked them a few months ago. That’s what it tastes like!
He just needs to be patient and wait until next year for large-scale planting. Then he will definitely "accidentally discover" that the tender sticks can also be eaten!
Mr. Cheng wished he could go to Balizhuang today, but the sun was already past midnight and it was already evening, so he had no choice but to give up and leave eagerly. He would wait until early the next morning to leave immediately. Came to Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion.

Xu Chunshan had just gotten up. He had been driving all the way. Although there were inns to stay at, he didn't have to stay at home, so he had to sleep a little longer.

Hearing that Master Cheng had already come to the door, he shook his head and sighed that Master Cheng was really impatient. He was already old, and being so anxious was not conducive to longevity!

Are you thinking about teaching adults how to do Tai Chi later?

This is health care. In his last life, he knew he was getting old. For the sake of his health, he often went downstairs early in the morning to fight with a group of old men and women in the community. He got used to it, and let alone it, it was really useful.

No matter how anxious he was, he still had to have breakfast. Xu Chunshan took Mr. Cheng and sat down together to eat the breakfast. Then he took the carriage and went out.

In addition to Xu Chunshan, Old Man Xu and Xu Chunlin were naturally together. At that time, they were in charge of the whole process of planting. Now that the harvest is ready, they had to go anyway. In this way, there is a beginning and an end.

When the group arrived at Balizhuang, Wu Zhuangtou had already received the news and led the villagers to meet them at the gate of Zhuangzi.

When Xu Chunshan saw the villagers in Wuyangyang, he waved his hand and asked the head of Wuzhuang to tell them to disperse and do what they should do.

It's just two acres of grain, and he can finish it in a day by himself.

He hadn't broken off the rice balls for many years, and his hands were itchy and tight.

A moment later, Xu Chunshan, who changed to short game, Old Man Xu and Xu Chunlin went to the ground wearing straw hats.

Master Cheng and Wu Zhuangtou also followed suit.

In this way, it won't take long for five people to harvest two acres of land, and each person only has a few acres.

How do you get rid of this stick?
As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely know that you need to break the stick, and the stick is wrapped in leather. When you break it, you can peel off the stick with the skin, which will save trouble later.

Five people, each dragging a basket and a ridge, broke all the sticks in the two acres of land before the sun came over at noon.

Ji Fu led people to carry baskets of sticks back to the village.

After the sticks were broken, they were all moved back.

Xu Chunshan and the others, who were sweating from all the hard work, took a bath in the side room on Zhuangzi and changed back to their previous clothes.Mr. Cheng touched his face that was scratched by stick leaves. As soon as he came out and saw Xu Chunshan, he couldn't wait to ask him to go to the scale to measure the total yield of the two acres of land.

Xu Chunshan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master Cheng, we can't be in a hurry. There is still a core in the stick. How can we accurately weigh it together? We have to peel off all the kernels from the stick."

Mr. Cheng had peeled off the skin before and didn't know that there was a core in the stick. He was surprised when he heard it.

So everyone listened to Xu Chunshan and had lunch at Zhuangzi. After giving a demonstration and rubbing the sticks for half an hour, he arranged for Wu Zhuangtou to take people to dry and thresh the sticks in the next two days, and wait for two days. They come again.

There were so many people in the village that the sticks on the two acres of land could not be ground for long. Two days later, when Xu Chunshan and his party came to the village again, all the grains had been threshed.

The golden sticks make a clattering sound when picked up by hand, and the bare cores of the sticks are actually white, which is surprising.

Wu Zhuangtou led the farmers to peel and weigh all the sticks in baskets. Mr. Cheng squeezed in the front and took notes. By the time all the sticks were weighed, he was already very excited.

"General, fourteen stones! In other words, one acre of mass production can also produce seven stones! Uncle! If this is popularized, it will be a blessing to the people!"

Xu Chunshan looked at his face glowing with excitement and thought: This is the most exquisite corn seed in the system mall. The yield is only [-] kilograms per mu, which buries its title as a fine product.

However, compared to the original grain here, Qishi is indeed a high-yielding grain.

Second only to Balizhuang’s high-yield rice last year.

"Really?! I really didn't expect it!" He was so excited that he couldn't express it in words, haha, you have to do your part.

When Old Man Xu and Xu Chunlin listened, they were also very excited and happy. They were not able to experience the high-yielding rice last year, but they grew the high-yielding rice sticks this year with their own hands!
Just thinking about it makes you excited and proud, right?
Especially when I heard Mr. Cheng's excited expression that he would go to the palace tomorrow to report this high-yielding grain to the emperor and knew that he would take the third child with him, he became even more excited.

If it weren't for the fact that it would be too late to enter the city and then the palace now, Mr. Cheng really wanted to go to the palace right now, but he had endured it for so many days, and this day was not enough.

At the moment, I still have to think about how to report this stick well. As an agricultural officer, I have discovered high-yielding grains. At least I can tell how to eat this high-yielding grains, right?

Therefore, Mr. Cheng took Xu Chunshan to discuss what to do with this stick.

"We fried it that time, but since it is grain, there is no point in frying it. It is also inconvenient for the people, so I thought about cooking it? This rice is boiled, and this is also grain. It should be cooked the same. Isn’t that enough?” Xu Chunshan told lies with his eyes open.

Mr. Cheng made sense when he heard it. It is most appropriate to cook it on the left and right sides!

Then, the kitchen on Zhuangzi became busy. In one pot, the washed cob kernels were steamed like rice. As for the other pot, the washed cob kernels were cooked like porridge. Cooked the same.

Soon, the steamed and boiled corn kernels came out of the pot. They smelled quite fragrant and filled the room with the fragrance. It was so fragrant that it was so fragrant that Mr. Cheng couldn’t wait to be the first to taste it. Several people They all also tasted it.

Well, it's soft and rotten, but this shell is old and makes your throat crack a bit when you eat it.

It's a waste of teeth to eat a bowl of cobs.

"Is this really how you eat it?" Mr. Cheng couldn't help but murmured, "It's not as delicious as rice or rice porridge." It's like bean rice. With rice, who can get used to that bean rice.

Xu Chunshan said: "I guess the grain of this stick is too big. Why not try grinding it? For example, grind it into flour like wheat?"

When Master Cheng heard this, the idea came true!

At that moment, the mill on Zhuangzi was busy again, and not long after, a small bag of corn noodles was delivered to the kitchen.

Now that it has been ground into a flour like white flour, how to make white flour, how to make this stick noodles!
So, Zhuangtou's wife kneaded the noodles with quick hands and feet, mixing the stick noodles like white noodles, steaming them into stick noodles, spreading out the stick noodles, making stick noodles dumplings, and finally making stick noodles. A little bit of stick noodles wasn't enough, so Zhuangtou's wife didn't think much, so she added some white flour and continued kneading, and steamed two-sided steamed buns with white flour mixed with stick noodles!
A bunch of pasta was put on the table, just in time for lunch.

Mr. Cheng ate the steamed buns of Bangzi Noodles, the dumplings of Bangzi Noodles, the noodles of Bangzi Noodles, and the pancakes of Bangzi Noodles. He felt that they were not inferior to those made with white noodles, but they also had a unique and unique fragrance!

Especially the steamed buns mixed with these two sides are also extremely delicious!

It's a pity that we didn't make much, so we only had two portions per person, and the table was empty. Mr. Cheng was still talking about it, "This stick noodle is really a good thing! It's more productive than wheat, and it can also be used like this." It tastes like white flour. It is conceivable that when this stick is popularized and cultivated throughout the country, even ordinary farmers will not be able to afford white flour."

Unlike now, wheat production is small and white flour is more expensive than rice. Even if the farmers plant wheat, they are reluctant to eat it at home. They have to sell it all in exchange for other grains to eat back. Throughout the year, I guess they will only be willing to eat dumplings during the New Year. .

Mr. Cheng's heart was agitated, and he had a rare insomnia that night. Before midnight, he got up, dressed properly, and waited for the curfew to pass. He immediately went out and went to Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion to meet Xu Chunshan. , and went into the palace together.

Today is not an early morning morning, and it is rare for the emperor to get up late. He rested in Yibin's Yanxi Palace last night, and now he is being served by Yibin and getting up.

The emperor is not a person who cares about sex. After he ascended the throne, he expanded the harem, just to persuade the ministers to be more generous.

This year was supposed to be the year of the draft again, but the emperor had already announced it, and there was no general election, so there was only a small selection.

Nowadays, there are more than 20 concubines in the palace, large and small. However, except for the rest of the month when the emperor is busy with political affairs and does not come to the harem, he mostly rests in the queen's palace. The remaining half, Yanxi The palace always takes up two days.

Firstly, it was because Yibin gave birth to the third princess, and secondly, because Yibin was gentle, virtuous and non-competitive in her duties. The emperor liked her non-competitiveness and peace of mind.

Unlike the other young concubines who came into the palace, who were all pinching and sore, he was tired of dealing with it and didn't want to deal with it.

The emperor had put on his clothes and was being served by concubine Yi for breakfast. It was only halfway through when Eunuch Chang got the eunuch's permission and came in to reply: "Your Majesty, Uncle Zhongyi and Lord Cheng are here to see you."

Uncle Zhongyi and Lord Cheng?Why did these two people come to the palace together?

The emperor was curious. He asked the queen to give a congratulatory gift to Jiacheng's wedding. Naturally, he knew that Uncle Zhongyi had just rushed back to Beijing two days ago and Jiacheng and his wife had not returned to Beijing yet.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, he came to the palace to see him, and it was with Mr. Cheng that he went to the palace -

The emperor's heart moved, he finished his breakfast in a few moments, and then drove back to Qinzheng Hall.
