Chapter 110 (1/2)
The party crossed several ridges and came to the field where Le Ge'er was.
Yu Qingze introduced them to Grandpa Chang and Jiabao. They don't know the county magistrate yet. Le Ge'er stood up and saluted the three adults.
Lord Cai hurriedly said, ”don't be polite. It's not in the Yamen. Let's keep busy.”
Jiabao came over and shouted, ”adoptive father.”
”Hey.” Lord Cai answered happily. Looking at Jiabao's sweat, he wiped it for him and asked, ”are you tired?”
Jiabao shook his head, smiled and said, ”OK. That adoptive father, I'll be busy first. We'll finish cutting this field in the morning. ”
”OK, go.” Lord Cai replied.
Looking at Jiabao's cutting now, adult Cai sighed: ”I haven't seen him for a few months. I'm more and more sensible.”
Yu Qingze replied with a smile, ”yes, now it's the small accounting room in the store. It's capable.”
Lord Cai laughed, and then asked, ”do you have any extra cutters? Let's cut it, too. ”
Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, ”are you going too?”
Lord Cai nodded and asked, ”why don't you think I will?”
”No, I'll get the knife.” Yu Qingze touched his nose, went to the box of grain he had cut, took his own, and then went to the dung dustpan at the head of the field and came over with two spare ones.
Yu Qingze gave the one he had used to Lord Cai, ”this one has been used. Be sharp.”
Lord Cai handed it to Luo Mingda.
Luo Mingda was stunned and pointed to himself, ”me?”
Lord Cai nodded and said, ”try it. You are the parent official of Tongshan. You have to know how the people under your rule live and work. Experience it. Come on.”
With that, Lord Cai couldn't help but put the grain cutter into lominda's hand.
Lominda:
”My Lord, why don't I come? Lord Luo has never done this...” the county magistrate said quickly.
”Don't worry, this is yours.” Lord Cai handed the county magistrate another cutting knife.
County Magistrate:
”Well, let's go.” Lord Cai took off his robe and handed it to his entourage. Then he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight.
Seeing that the magistrate had gone to cut, luomingda and the county Cheng had to take off their robes, learn from Lord Cai, roll up their sleeves and walk to Daohe.
”Shall I show you?” Yu Qingze asked.
”You show them both.” As soon as Lord Cai said this, he squatted down directly, and then cut with the grain cut by Yu Qingze. The action was quite like that.
Seeing that Lord CAI was all right, Yu Qingze turned to look at Luo Mingda and the county magistrate.
Lominda handed the cutting knife in his hand to him.
Yu Qingze smiled and showed them again.
After that, Luo Mingda frowned and squatted down, imitating Yu Qingze's appearance, grasping the grass stump with his left hand and exerting himself with his right hand.
Brush——
The first time, it wasn't all cut. He frowned again and tried again. This time he cut it off, but he tried too hard. He stepped back and almost sat down.
However, looking at the cut grass stump, Luo Mingda hummed and smiled, and then moved on to the next stump
Yu Qingze looked at it on the side, smiled, and warned: ”Sir, you can put some more knives down.”
”Oh, so?” When Luo Mingda heard the speech, he stuck his knife to the ground and cut a stump of grass.
”Well, yes, that's about it.”
I heard that three adults were going to cut grass. Jiabao and Chang Hao secretly looked here and smiled.
Yu Qingze walked over and gently gave each of them a brain collapse. He said, ”look, cut it.”
They touched their foreheads and smiled, then cut them.
However, they stopped looking, but other villagers in the nearby field were watching curiously. It's strange that adults in the city come to the fields to cut crops.
Two of CAI's entourage hugged the three adults' clothes to Mr. Sun, then went to Jiabao and Chang Hao, took the cutting knife in their hands, and squatted down to cut them.
Jiabao and Chang Hao looked at the two big brothers of the guard and cut much faster than them. They went to the field, poured water and drank, and sat on the ridge to have a rest.
It's still early now. Before noon, Yu Qingze thought about the lunch. There are six more men, and the food at home is not enough.
He went over and discussed with Grandpa Chang. At that time, he had to buy a fish from the uncle by the river, and then kill a chicken. With the original dishes at home, it should be almost the same.
Lord Cai cut for about a quarter of an hour, squatted tired, stood up and moved.
Yu Qingze walked over and said, ”my Lord, I'll come.”
Lord Cai handed the knife to Yu Qingze and said, ”come on. I cut too slowly. ”
Yu Qingze took the knife and whispered to Cai Dahan while cutting: ”Sir, you're not afraid of master Luo's temper?”
Lord Cai squatted down, sighed and whispered, ”his father wrote to me and asked me to take care of it. Alas, his nature is not bad. He is used to playing and never thinks about business.”
Yu Qingze sighed at the speech, and then said, ”you brought him here to let him experience it?”
Lord Cai shook his head and said, ”Oh, this is by the way. I read Wei'er's letter and said that when he came to play before, Chang Hao told him that you got some new crops and a foot thresher. I just wanted to have a look. The people live too hard. If there is any way to increase food production and income and let them eat enough, I want to try. Mr. Sun is the person I found in Yunzhou who has ideas in this regard, so I brought him. ”
Upon hearing the speech, Yu Qingze said, ”I see. I'll show you when I get back. One of them, called ground eggs, has been planted in the north. With success, we can also plant them here. We have planted them for a season. I wanted to plant another season. When I planted more potatoes, I mobilized the villagers to plant them together. This thing is very full, and it is mainly harvested in winter and spring. After harvest, it can almost be planted, which can be connected with rice transplanting in spring. ”
When Lord Cai heard the speech, he said happily, ”that means that there can be a variety of seasons in the field?”
”Yes.” Yu Qingze nodded and said, ”it seems that the survival rate of this thing is OK. It can be cooked, steamed or simmered like sweet potatoes. It tastes good. I'll make it for you at noon.”
”That's great!” Lord CAI was so excited that he stood up and said, ”cut it quickly. After cutting, let's go back and have a look. I'll talk to Mr. Sun first. ”
Then he went to find Mr. Sun.
With the help of Lord Cai's two attendants, cutting the grain is much faster.
Luo Mingda and Xian Cheng didn't cut fast. Of course, Yu Qingze didn't expect them, so after about two quarters of an hour, Yu Qingze asked Jiabao and Chang Hao to take over the two adults' cutting knives.
