Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

When the carriage reached the city, Tiandong reined in the reins and said:
  "Madam, this is where the corn is threshed. Do you want to go down and have a look?"

One of the eight classic four-character mottos of Chinese people - everything comes when it comes.

"Okay, let's get out of the car and take a look."

Tiandong jumped out of the car, gestured to the car behind him, and opened the curtain.

He stretched out his hand to take Bai Wei off, then stepped aside and let her get Cheng Xue, mother and daughter out of the car.

The square was filled with laughter and the sound of corn being peeled.

There are several large thick wooden stakes in the west covered with yellow and orange corn. The unshelled corn is dry and dry. It can be seen that the weather in the north has been good recently, and God is very kind to it.

"... How about saying that Li Fuyin is a lucky star? When he comes, not only are our stomachs full, but even the Heimo River, which floods every summer, has stopped. Now even corn is grown, it is really more and more beautiful. The better.”

"It's not that good. Yesterday I brought corn cobs home to start a fire. It was burning. There was no wooden shovel to resist the burning. But it was enough. There were corn stalks, and that thing can also make a fire."

"Oh, I don't have to suffer this winter. The house was newly built in the spring, and now it has more old firewood that can be used for fire. Now I feel that my life is going well."

"This is the truth, I think so too..."

"..."

Sisters Li Yue and Li Tian heard everyone chatting and shook their mother's sleeves excitedly.

Not to mention the children being excited, even she herself was proud to hear it. If the autumn harvest goes well this time, when the third prince brings Li Heng and the others back to Beijing, the court will have another explanation. The reward should be expected, so give half of what you have at home as a dowry to Li Yue.

After the festival, she will leave for Beijing with Yan Yixin. However, she was not prepared to let the two children go with the Third Prince and the others. Although it was good to have company, they were in a hurry and she did not want to wrong the two children.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Dianli, the household official, came over in a hurry and said:
  "Mrs. Li is back. When did she arrive?"

"Just arrived." Cheng Xue replied, "How many days has it been since the autumn harvest? Can the yield per mu be calculated?"

Zhang Dianli nodded hurriedly, and the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from rising as he answered:

"Mrs. Li is very happy. On the first day of corn harvest, the yield per mu was 879 kilograms. Yesterday, the yield of the first-class field directly exceeded [-]. Fertilizer is a good thing. If adults hadn't repeatedly emphasized that we should keep a low profile, I would have wanted to use a few whips. Tell the world."

Cheng Xue counted the old crops, and she knew the yield per mu of crops such as sorghum and millet.

The yield of corn per acre is nothing in modern times, but now it is absolutely incredible. With enough food, there are so many things that can be done, and it can also make Lin Chao very afraid.

"By the way, madam, I said that Master Xiao has told you how to make corn. Are you free now? Do you want to teach everyone?"

"Okay, no problem." Cheng Xue nodded without thinking.

Let Yan Yixin take Li Tian and Li Huai to find Li Hui. She took Li Yue with her and asked Zhang Dianli to call a few yamen and carry several bags of corn to the mill.

Compared with the corn that was eaten green before, what we are making now is grain that is tasty, hungry, and practical.

Corn is ground into coarse and fine grains. The thick ones are called big lumps, and the thin ones are called small lumps. Dazuzi is commonly known as corn rice porridge. Add some kidney beans, red beans, etc. and simmer it in a large pot. The rotten and sticky the better. Served with refreshing pickles, it tastes particularly delicious.    Small ballast can be used to make porridge or steamed rice together with rice, commonly known as gold and silver rice.

The whole mill was at their disposal, so it did not take long. Grinding grains and grinding surfaces are carried out together, both coarse and fine.

After everything was done, the yamen man pushed the cart back to the yamen dining hall. When the cooks saw Cheng Xue coming, they all saluted and said hello.

"Everyone, get up. This is my first time tinkering with this. Let's discuss it together."

"Yes."

The cook got up and went to help the Yamen move things. Cheng Xue walked around the kitchen and suddenly became interested when she saw a fifteen-pound river carp.

"Quickly, prepare the pork, vermicelli, tofu, and cabbage, eat it in the yard, and cook it in a pot later. Stick corn tortillas on the side of the pot."

When the Yamen heard his voice, he responded excitedly, "Okay," and took the people out to work.

Everyone prepared basins and bowls, and then washed their hands together and got ready to work.

Add water to the thicker cornmeal, knead it into a dough and set it aside for later attachment to the pancakes. Mix finely ground cornmeal and white flour two to one, then add sugar and water, drink it and set it aside to rise. Scoop out another thick ladle of cornmeal, white flour, and bean flour, add water, mix, knead until smooth, and set aside to rise.

Put the kidney beans and red beans in the big ballast, put it in the big pot, add water and firewood, and then ignore it. The small grains are mixed with the rice. Add water and rinse the rice, just like steaming rice.

All the preparation work was carried out by her and the cooks together. She had no secrets and was very patient. Everyone worked together very happily.

After someone came back and told them that they could cook, Chef Su took the fish and meat and went out to the yard to cook. Cheng Xue used the fermented noodles to make a large pot of Sanhe noodle steamed buns in the back kitchen, then found a basket and made a basket of corn steamed cakes. Dried dates and raisins are sprinkled in the middle. These are available in snack shops and can be used at any time.

After one stick of incense, the whole dining hall of the government office was filled with the aroma of food.

The fish had been stewing in the yard for a while. She went over and put corn tortillas around the pot.

The time was just right, the food in the canteen was coming out one after another, and Li Hui and others came back later.

Li Tian's sister and brother ran over when they saw Cheng Xue, chattering non-stop.

One moment, it was fun to break the corn, and the next, she said that the corn leaves were a bit irritating, and that the corn stalks could be used to make fire... Anyway, she gave her all their limited knowledge of farm work.

The third prince, Yan Mu, listened for a long time, until the two children talked happily before saying:

"Mrs. Li's upbringing is really good. Although their siblings suddenly had a fight, their care and concern for each other made me miss the eldest and second brothers in the palace."

Cheng Xue felt slightly blessed, shook her head modestly and said:
  "The Third Highness is ridiculous. Little women don't know anything about upbringing. It's just because their siblings grew up together. You and your two Highnesses think so too, otherwise you can't miss them so much. You have to be here this Mid-Autumn Festival. Bian, how about we go to the mountain to have skewers?"

"Sure, if it's not too much trouble."

"Your Highness is too polite. Your Majesty is also thinking the same thing. This year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will take the entire government to find a village to rest and play for a day, which will be considered as a subsidy for them." Li Hui took the opportunity to come over and answer the call.

It is necessary to take three days off. It is reasonable to close the door on the Mid-Autumn Festival. His Highness happens to be here. He can be willful and bold for once. Anyway, there is such a person up there to support...
