The Beast King's Harem (Bisexual/NP)
Chapter 15 Planting corn!
Tian Yong (Farmer)
:Tian Yong and other agricultural officials began to work. The 100 mu of land on the farm was all their experimental fields.:
They used supernatural powers to plant corn, and the test showed that the yield per mu was between 500 and 800 kilograms.
Now everyone was reassured that this corn was indeed high-yielding!You have to know that in a good year, the highest yield of wheat per mu is only more than 400 kilograms, and that is only if the land is fertile and well cared for.Although the experimental yield of corn is accelerated by supernatural powers and there is no disease or disaster, the data is definitely better than that of ordinary people planting in the fields, but even if the yield of ordinary people is a little worse, at least 400 kilograms can be harvested.
Tian Yong (Farmer)
:After a few days, Tian Yong and his new colleagues went to the village with corn seeds and stone mill.:
Tian Yong (Farmer)
:Tian Yong was responsible for three villages, which were adjacent to each other and not far away.:
The first village he went to on the first day was called Erliu Village, and most of the villagers were surnamed Liu.
Tian Yong (Farmer)
*Tian Yong and his group of four people, he and a cook, two ox carts, four stone mills, several large bags of corn seeds, several baskets of cherry tomatoes, the oxen pulling the carts were beastmen, strong and good at work. When they arrived at the village, Tian Yong casually asked a farmer in the field how to get to the village chief's house. When the other party saw that he was wearing the clothes of an agricultural official, he immediately bowed in fear and trepidation, pointed him the way, and said that he would take him there personally.*
Tian Yong (Farmer)
:Tian Yong was naturally happy to take the convenience, so he let the man lead the way. Along the way, he chatted with him, asking his name, how many people were in his family, whether he was married, how many acres of land he had planted, etc.:
It wasn't long before they arrived at the village chief's house. The village chief also bowed when he saw Tian Yong. After bowing, he bent over and warmly invited Tian Yong and others to come in for a drink of water. Tian Yong told the purpose of his visit, and the village chief quickly asked someone to call all the villagers to gather at the gate of his yard.
The villagers arrived one after another, and everyone was talking about it.
Unimportant peraon
"The official from the prefecture is here? No one in our village has done anything wrong, right?"
Unimportant peraon
"What nonsense! It's the agricultural official from the prefecture! The agricultural official is related to the crops in our fields!"
Unimportant peraon
"What's wrong with the crops in our village? They were just planted, aren't they growing well?"
Unimportant peraon
"I don't know, don't ask! You'll know when you get there."
When they arrived at the village chief's house, they saw a big stove set up in the open space in the front yard of the village chief's house. The fire was burning brightly, and the pottery pot was covered with a lid. No one knew what was cooking.
On the other side, there was a round thing made of stone. It seemed to have a hole on it. Someone was pouring beans into the hole and sprinkling some water on it. A person next to him pushed the disc and started to turn it. After a while, milky white juice came out of the stone trough below and flowed into the wooden barrel.
Is this the juice from grinding beans?This disc is a new object and looks very useful.
The villagers couldn't help watching the strong man grinding bean juice. They started to talk about it, and some people lined up behind the grinding disc to try it themselves.
Unimportant peraon
"If this can grind beans, can't it also grind white rice and paddy?"
Unimportant peraon
"I think this thing is useful! It saves a lot of effort compared to using a stone mortar to pound!"
A bucket of soybean milk was quickly ground, poured into a large pot to boil, and then the second bucket was ground.
As the soybean milk in the large pot boiled, it began to smell fragrant, making people drool.
Unimportant peraon
The child who followed pulled his mother's clothes and called out: "Mom, it smells so good!"
One bucket of soybean milk was boiled, the other bucket was also ground
The first bucket was filled with bowls and distributed to the villagers. Each person could only drink one sip, just to taste the flavor. There was no more. If you drank one more sip, the people behind you would not be able to taste it.
The second bucket of soybean milk was ground, filtered four or five times, and then added with plaster and put into a mold. Half of it was made into tofu, and the other half was made into tofu pudding.
Because they were all prepared in advance and brought directly by Tian Yong, it was not troublesome at this time. It was done in 20 to 30 minutes, and then distributed to the villagers to taste.
A small pot was set up next to it. Cabbage, meat and tofu were stewed on the stove. Soon, the fragrance wafted out. In the big pot, cornmeal porridge was cooked. When the cornmeal porridge was cooked, it was eaten with cabbage and tofu. Therice paste that was being ground on the stone mill was ready.
The rice paste was also molded and steamed rice cakes.
There were too many people in the village. Although it was cooked in a big pot, the last person actually only ate one or two bites, and they didn’t really taste it.
But after everyone tasted these foods, they had one feeling: delicious! Fragrant!The tofu pudding was so tender that you wanted to swallow your tongue! The soy milk was thick and fragrant! Tofu was harder than tofu pudding, but it was also tender, especially when it was cooked with vegetables and meat, and it was wrapped with the taste of meat and oily. I didn’t eat such delicious food during the Chinese New Year! The cornmeal porridge was also fragrant. I can’t describe how fragrant it was, but it was fragrant anyway! The rice cake was soft and sticky, and it had a sweet taste. Not only children and the elderly loved it, but adults also loved it.
Tian Yong (Farmer)
:After everything was shared and eaten, Tian Yong asked someone to take out a bag of corn seeds and opened the bag for the villagers to see.:
Tian Yong (Farmer)
"The corn paste we just ate was made from the corn kernels in this bag. This is a new grain! Lord Jiang sympathizes with us ordinary people and asked the agricultural officials to try planting it first. The results show that the yield per mu can reach 500 kilograms, and the highest can reach 700 kilograms!"
Tian Yong (Farmer)
"Now I bring these seeds to everyone to plant. It's free, no money is required, and there is no tax on the first year of planting! As long as everyone plants seriously, the family with the highest yield in the village will get a reward!"
Tian Yong (Farmer)
"This set of stone mills was built by Lord Liu in the prefecture himself. Each village has one set, which will be placed at the village chief's house. If you want to use it, please ask him.It’s all free to use. If you want to build a set for yourself, just ask a stonemason to do it. "
Tian Yong (Farmer)
"If you want to make tofu, tofu pudding and rice cake for your own consumption, follow this master to learn. The master will stay in the village for three days and then go to another village. If you want to learn, you have to hurry up. If you don’t learn now, you can learn later. You can go to the school next to the government office in the city to learn. The school is called Vocational and Technical College. It is also free. If anyone wants to learn a skill to do business, they can send their children there to learn. "
Yi Jin (MC /Emperor)
:Naturally, it was Yi Jin who proposed to set up the Vocational and Technical College.:
It has just started, and there are not many types of courses taught there, except for how to make tofu, rice cakes, and rou buns.
The city is so big that there is no need to worry about many people learning. There are four areas in the east, west, south, and north, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell the products. If the villagers learn, they can make money even if they only sell them in the village.
Tian Yong (Farmer)
:After saying this, Tian Yong took out the cherry tomato seedlings. Because they were living plants and difficult to carry, he only brought two pots of mature ones. The rest were twenty seedlings, several packets of seeds, and several baskets of picked cherry tomatoes.:
Tian Yong (Farmer)
:The cherry tomatoes were also distributed to everyone.:
Tian Yong (Farmer)
*The quantity was not large, two per person, and some people still didn't get any, so everyone shared them out, and in the end most people only got one.*
Tian Yong (Farmer)
"Everyone should plant these cherry tomatoes. Our village is the first batch to try planting them. The seeds and seedlings are free. If they grow well, you can keep them for yourself or take them to the city to sell. The money from the sales is all yours. "
The taste of cherry tomatoes is sour and sweet, a little crispy but also crunchy, so delicious!
After Tian Yong finished speaking, someone immediately shouted that they wanted to plant corn and cherry tomatoes.
Unimportant peraon
*Why not plant them?They are all for food, and the seeds are free and tax-free!I have eaten them just now, and they are really delicious!Afraid that they can't grow well?That's okay, it's not a loss, everyone is digging for food in the fields, who doesn't have some strength? At most, it will take a little effort to take care of them, and what if they can grow them? Wouldn't the family have a few more acres of harvest?*
Everyone understands this principle, and the agricultural official came in person to deliver the seeds, and said that he would stay in the village to record the growth of corn and cherry tomatoes, so they will definitely grow them!
If there are insects or something, don't worry, there are agricultural officials!
Besides, even if the seeds are bad, it's not against the law.
Everyone was enthusiastic, and the village chief asked them to register with him. Although the seeds were free, they couldn't be given without restrictions. They had to be based on the number of people in each household and the number of acres of wasteland.
Unimportant peraon
"I still have two mu of land that I haven't planted yet, so I'll get two mu of corn seeds and plant two mu of cherry tomatoes behind the house."
Corn is food, but cherry tomatoes are not. I heard from the agricultural official that cherry tomatoes can be used for cooking, so I'll just plant a little for my own consumption.
Unimportant peraon
"I have a large family and a lot to eat. We can open up wasteland and open up four mu of land. I'll get four mu of corn seeds and plant half an mu of tomatoes."
Unimportant peraon
"I'm afraid I can't take good care of the corn and waste the seeds, so I'll try planting half an mu first. "
In half a day, almost every household took the seeds home, and the next day they started to reclaim the wasteland or plant the land. In a few days, all the corn seeds were planted. In addition to planting the land, everyone lined up to go to the village chief to grind grain with a stone mill
Making tofu is a craft that not everyone can do, but making soy milk is simple, just grind it and boil it and you can drink it.
Eating beans cooked with rice can easily cause bloating, but now you can grind it into soy milk, so you don't have to worry about it.
You can also make rice cakes to change the taste, and grind wheat flour, and when the corn is harvested, you can also grind it. Cornmeal, this stone mill is really useful.
The villagers always eat mixed grain rice, mixed grain porridge, and wheat cakes. They are very happy to have one more variety.
As for learning the skill of making tofu, after a few days, they ate tofu made by the chef brought by the agricultural official. There were really a few families in the village who wanted to learn it, and sent their half-grown children to watch the chef for a few days.
Tian Yong (Farmer)
:Later, Tian Yong took the chef to the next village to distribute seeds. Two families of children followed them and took the initiative to help the chef. The two were smart and hardworking. They really learned the skill, and did not go to the town to sell it. They just sold it here. We sell corn in several nearby villages, and the business is pretty good.:
But that's a story for later.
To promote corn planting, we should start from the villages around Jingzhou Prefecture, and then slowly promote it to more distant towns and villages.
Yi Jin (MC /Emperor)
:Fortunately, Yi Jin remembered that corn can be planted for several seasons. If there is no time to plant it now, it is okay to plant autumn corn.:
The work of the agricultural officials was carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of Jiang Chengyan.
Yi Jin (MC /Emperor)
:Yi Jin identified the plants brought by the people every day, and recognized taro and sesame.:
Yi Jin (MC /Emperor)
:Both of them are good things. Taro is high in starch and can be eaten as a staple food, while sesame can be used to extract oil, which was famous in Yi Jin's previous life. One of the four major oil crops.:
Yi Jin (MC /Emperor)
:Taro and sesame were naturally given to Jiang Chengyan, and the agricultural officials were asked to try planting them before promoting them to the people.:
But this matter has to be done slowly. After all, crops are not like other crops. They need time to grow in the ground, and they can't be rushed in a short time.:
Yi Jin (MC /Emperor)
:During this period, Yi Jin received three letters from the capital.:
Yi Jin (MC /Emperor)
:These three letters were delivered in two batches:
The two earlier letters were sent by the same messenger, and the two letters were signed by Zuo Yanyu and Shen Yitan respectively.
The last letter came a day late, with only one sentence and no signature. There was a blue dragon seal at the end of the letter.
