Chapter 1852: Continuous Harvest of Warriors
Chapter 1834: Continuous harvest of warriors (second update)
The new sunflower seeds were moist. Li Yi picked a big one and knocked one, and looked at the seeds. He was quite satisfied.
"Eat it first if you can, and dry the rest. After drying, use a dustpan or put it in a windmill to blow."
Li Yi ate a few and found them too strenuous. The sunflower seeds were not dry and were too soft when knocked.
It would be best to pick with your fingernails, but he didn't leave any nails.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan grabbed and kneaded it, their hands and the corners of their mouths were covered with fluff.
After eating a handful, Princess Yongmu looked at Xiaolan's mouth and stopped eating: "Li Lang, how can I get rid of this fluff?"
“Cook it, season it, cook it like spiced beans, and then dry it.
If you fry it directly, there will still be black stuff on it after frying. In fact, it will also be there after cooking, but it is relatively small. "
Li Yi doesn't have any good ideas for sunflower seeds, unless he doesn't crush them and uses equipment to thresh them directly, which is clean.
If you don’t crack the melon seeds, what kind of melon seeds can you eat? The fun lies in clicking, including watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds.
"We grow pumpkins, and the seeds are quite delicious. They can be used medicinally and mainly as food."
Li Yi thought of pumpkin seeds and found another snack.
…
In the political hall, Yao Chong and others are also there. They have no big cases to deal with recently, so they are a little leisurely.
They were drinking tea and cracking melon seeds, watermelon seeds.
Nowadays, watermelons are cultivated in a polarized way. Those with large seeds and many seeds are grown separately, and those with many seeds and large seeds inside are selected.
The other branch is that the seeds are small, the seeds are small, the melons are sweet, and the melons are large.
There are also various crosses to see if something magical can grow.
Sinong Temple has been responsible for such things since many years ago.
Now that there is a lot of money, they want to graft and cross-breed everything they catch. If they find a good thing, it will benefit the country and the people.
As agreed, the results will be recorded among them, who is in charge, and who is in charge, and put them in a book, and print a lot of them, so that people in the future will know.
"It's better to drink salted potatoes. The potatoes soaked in vinegar are slightly hard and have a bad taste." Su Ting was commenting on the dish.
"The ones soaked in vinegar are delicious and crunchy, while the juicy ones are too soft and are suitable for people with bad teeth." Bi Gou objected.
"If you ask me, mashed potatoes are the best, especially after eating water rice, with chopped green onion and egg sauce, it is more fragrant than salted beans." Liu Chong has his own idea.
We all discussed with each other how to prepare the dishes. The main purpose was to ease the mood after the shock today.
The species brought back from overseas have begun to be harvested, and the yield per mu is getting higher and higher.
Originally, I compared potatoes with rice and wheat, but later I realized that potatoes should be compared with vegetables.
"The five thousand elite cavalry of the Later Turks have provided us with the opportunity to plant crops on the grasslands next year, so that the people there no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat."
After she relaxed, Song Jing got down to business and was promoted by Li Yi. The entire Tang Dynasty benefited, and Li Yi's contribution was so great that it didn't matter.
"Xiao Yi said that he would sell it to barbarian merchants first and defraud some of the money." Bi Gou mentioned what he had said to Li Yi a few days ago.
"Sold to barbarian merchants, what will the people of the Tang Dynasty grow?" Yao Chong looked unhappy.
"Sell a little, such as how much a seed costs, and Xiao Yi said the precious seeds are based on the number of seeds.
After selling the seeds to the barbarian merchants, the people of the Tang Dynasty weighed the matter and did not expect to make money from the seeds.
The people's products were high, and people who did not farm in the Tang Dynasty had cheap food to eat. "
Bi Gou explained that he would sell a small amount for planting and then go back and plant it himself slowly, the more he planted, the more he planted.
Su Ting took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "Li Yi will continue to plant this year. How many seeds will be produced by next year? I don't think it can be promoted."
“You can plant seeds in grasslands, and you can’t find large areas of idle land elsewhere.
The grassland must be plowed and sun-dried in advance, and it will be too late to ripen the land after planting.
This winter, the Hou Turks were driven far away, and other tribes surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, which just allowed them to plow the fields. "
Zhang Jiuling planned to plow the land first in the coming spring and wait for the grass to grow, and then see how the land looks like in the summer.
Everyone agrees on this. There is too much land in the grassland. If the grass can grow as tall as a person, it means that the land is fertile.
At other times, no one is plowing the grasslands for fear of war, and the number of people working on the fields is too low, so they are all preparing for war.
"The land in Hebei Province is also good. Without the worry of the Xi tribe and Khitan invaders, a large amount of wheat should be planted.
Some people elsewhere had less land, and they were allowed to move, and livestock, farm tools, and seeds were leased to them.
Pay them back slowly after the harvest, freeing them from the burden of renting.
What they grow is sold directly for money, and taxes are not collected in previous years. "
Bi Gou became more generous and did not focus on the little money in the fields. After planting and breeding, he would sell it and the entire Tang Dynasty would benefit.
The purpose of building the Yellow River Bridge is to facilitate transportation, transporting grain from Hebei Road across the bridge and by rail.
When there are more steam engines and ships, transportation in summer will be faster and cheaper.
Until then, watercraft will still serve as the main transportation force.
As everyone talked, they felt an inexplicable sense of relief. The tea tasted sweet in the mouth and had a little salty taste. Yes, it was definitely not from eating spiced melon seeds.
…
As new species continue to be harvested, the rumbling train arrives at Chang'an Station again.
Different from the previous days, what was transported was not goods, but people.
The marines were sent to Chang'an standing in the train carriage. There was no passenger carriage and it was being built.
They can sit in the carriage and cannot see outside when sitting, and of course, they cannot see outside when standing.
Therefore, they put wooden stools inside, saying that they could sit on the stools when they were tired of standing, but in fact, they stood on the stools and looked out.
The train carriages of the Tang Dynasty were not as high as those of Li Yi at that time, and the stools of the navy were not high either, and they held the edge of the carriages with their hands.
They were not afraid of slight shaking, and could the shaking be more severe than on the ship?
At night, nothing could be seen, and it was pitch black around, without street lights or lights from people's houses.
At dawn, there were people, fields and mountains.
The people walking on the road also looked curiously at the heads exposed on the train carriages, which was very strange.
When passing by Lantian County, the navy who came for the first time knew how poor their hometown was.
New houses were built in their hometowns, but they were still a long way behind Lantian County.
When they arrived in Chang'an, the prosperity of Chang'an made them feel like they were in a dream.
Li Longji and his group were waiting on the platform. UU Reading www.uukaｎshｕ.net had breakfast on the platform, and were drinking tea and cracking sunflower seeds at the moment.
Amid the sound of cracking, some people who don't know how to crack the seeds with their hands simply throw the seeds into their mouths, adjust the position of their tongues, bite with their big teeth, and spit out the skin.
The sunflower seeds are cooked, then dried in a rotary oven, and then added with star anise and salt. The whole way of throwing them into the mouth makes them saltier and saltier.
"Puff! Puff! Xiaoyi, put less salt next time you make it."
Bi Gou doesn't know how to crack the seeds, so he spits the skin into a small bamboo basket.
"Next time you stir-fry, add a little salt, big grains of salt. Old Bi, you have to learn to crack the seeds with your hands. Don't worry, your teeth are back-mounted, and I will replace them for you if there is a gap."
Li Yi didn't crack the seeds because he was afraid of dry mouth and drinking too much water.
He didn't mind the hot weather, so he baked sweet potatoes and ate them with Princess Yongmu, Xiaolan, Chidai Zhudan, and Princess Jincheng.
There are only two chapters today. After the vaccination, the farmer has to take a good rest, and there will be more tomorrow. By the way, I corrected the typos in the past two days.
