Datang Nongwang

Chapter 482
the next day.

Li Chongyuan began to rush around.

For the fruit saplings on Niu Shou Mountain, he had to find someone to look after them.

On the other side of the valley, Li Chongyuan naturally couldn't let Dadu and them go, and even stayed in the valley for nearly two hours, telling Dadu and them how to deal with emergencies during his absence, and how to deal with the new situation. Things like moving fish fry to ponds and so on.

Huaishan, sugar cane, taro and other places, Li Chongyuan directly handed over to Qiao Su, and let him take care of them all.

As for the blacksmith room.

Li Chongyuan didn't fall behind when he arrived, and he talked to Lao Xu and the others for a long time, which can be regarded as an confession.

The application time.

Li Chongyuan brought Qiao Hui to the melon field, "In the future, you will bring someone over to take care of these melon fields, water it when it needs to be watered, turn over the vines when it needs to be turned, and pull the vines when it needs to be pulled. I think you will remember what I said before."

In the melon field at this time.

It has already been filled with a lot of melons.

Although it takes a lot of time to mature.

But Li Chongyuan is very caring about this piece of melon.

Melons are currently grown in many places.

But this piece of watermelon was not grown in Tang country.

If the Tang people wanted to eat it, they had to transport it from the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are too far away from the Tang Kingdom, so it's really not easy to transport some watermelons over here.

Even if there is a caravan who wants to do the watermelon business, basically, they will lose their pants.

From the Western Regions to the Tang Kingdom, it can take as short as three months and as long as half a year.

After such a long time, the watermelon will rot early.

to this end.

The watermelons from the Western Regions that came as a tribute to the Tang Kingdom also used a lot of ice to keep them fresh, so as not to spoil them during the long-term transportation.

And Li Chongyuan tried to plant the first batch of watermelons, and it can be said that he has used all kinds of fertilizers.

even.

At the beginning, I was afraid that the trial planting would not be successful, so I nailed it almost every day in the melon field.

"Xiao Langjun, I remember. Don't worry, with me here, this melon field will be fine." Of course, Qiao Hui remembered what Li Chongyuan once said about melon land management.

The watermelons with small fists and big heads look green.

This is also how he, Qiao Hui, grew from scratch, and of course she also hoped that Li Chongyuan would succeed in his first attempt at planting.

It's going to be a success.

She, Qiao Hui, can also feast on it.

Li Chongyuan glanced at the melon field, and said: "I will leave all the melon field to you, and the vegetable field. Depending on the situation, those seeds should be harvested in a few days. You When the time comes, find a time and send someone to collect those seeds.”

"Xiao Langjun, it may take some time for the seeds in the vegetable field, and it may not be enough in a few days. I have been in the vegetable field every day recently, so you can rest assured about this." Qiao Hui has her own opinion.

After Li Chongyuan heard this, his face was full of embarrassment.

Li Chongyuan seldom went to the vegetable field.

Only at the beginning, I will go there often.

But recently, because Li Chongyuan has so many things to do, he doesn't have much time to go to the vegetable field to watch.

Over there in the vegetable field.

Li Chongyuan is also experimenting with hybridization of vegetables.

As for the grafting of vegetables, Li Chongyuan didn't think about it this year, and he didn't even try it. He could only think about next year.

present.

It is already the end of summer, and it is almost autumn.

As soon as autumn comes, the vegetables will basically start to seed, and it is impossible to plant a new batch of vegetables.

after all.

In this era, there are still a few types of vegetables.

And even if Li Chongyuan could build a large shed, he couldn't spare extra time and manpower.

Again.

In terms of manpower, Li Chongyuan really doesn't know how to cultivate manpower to grow vegetables.

After explaining about the melon field, Li Chongyuan asked Qiao Hui to go back to cook first, but he stayed in the melon field and looked around.

at this time.

The helpers have already stopped work and went to the foot of Niu Shou Mountain to get pancakes and pork.

When the group of helpers saw Li Chongyuan looking through the melon field alone, some curious people approached the melon field, "Li Xianbo, when the melons you planted are ripe, can you Give us a taste?"

"What beautiful things are you thinking? This is the watermelon grown by Uncle Li County. You still want to taste it. I heard that these watermelons are brought from the Western Regions. If you want to taste it, you have to have money. Just do it."

"That's right, this is watermelon, very expensive. Only honorable officials can eat it."

All the helpers, you talk to each other.

This made Li Chongyuan stand up, smiled at the helpers and said, "It's not ripe yet, if it will be ripe in a month or two, I'll see the situation and let you taste the melons I planted." .”

Li Chongyuan is not stingy.

As far as the piece of melon he planted, there are at least [-] mu of land.

Three hundred acres were planted with melons, and two hundred acres were planted with watermelons.

Even if someone grows melons.

But it is basically hopeless to put it on the heads of these tenants.

The fields do not belong to them, even if they open up wasteland, they will not grow this kind of melons, and basically they will grow some vegetables for family consumption.

As for the owner's land, it is impossible to grow melons.

And watermelon.

They have never even seen it, so how could they plant it.

After listening to Li Chongyuan's words, all the helpers thanked him happily.

As for when the melons in the melon field will be ripe, they are more eager than Li Chongyuan, wanting to taste the melons in the melon field.

The sun has already set.

All the helpers have already received pancakes and pork and rushed home.

After Li Chongyuan inspected the melon field, he saw a melon with pale white in the green, he picked it lightly, and held it in his hand, "I don't know if it is ripe or not, but it looks good, I'll give you a try first. "

When I got to the ditch, I washed my hands casually, and bit it directly into my mouth.

There was a 'click'.

"There is still some bitterness, with a little fragrance and sweetness in the bitterness. It's not bad, it's okay. It only takes half a month, and the first batch of melons will be ripe." Li Chongyuan said to himself after taking a bite. road.

I can't eat the melon anymore.

The bitterness of melon, the closer to the vine, the more bitter it is.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Li Chongyuan could only hold it in his hand and walked towards the village.

When passing by the pigsty, he just threw it away and threw it into the pigsty.

Li Chongyuan couldn't eat the melon, but for the wild boar, it was delicious.

This is not.

As soon as the melon was thrown into the pigsty by Li Chongyuan, the group of wild boars were frightened, and as soon as they smelled the melon, they swarmed up to fight for it.

the next day.

After Li Chongyuan finished his morning practice, he went straight to the workshop.

As soon as Li Chongyuan left Lizhuang, several carriages arrived at Lizhuang.

As soon as the carriage arrived, the guards hiding in the dark rushed to report after seeing Wan'er and Sizi who had jumped out of the carriage.

As for the other guards, they became even more vigilant when they saw the princesses of Sizi coming suddenly.

"Little lunatic, why are you running? I just came back, and you ran away as soon as you saw me, and I won't hit you. What are you holding in your hand, show me." When walking to the hospital, I happened to meet the little lunatic.

This is not.

When Wan'er saw the little lunatic, she immediately reached out and grabbed the little lunatic's sleeve.

The little lunatic was pulled by Wan'er's sleeve, and after struggling a few times, he glared at Wan'er angrily, hiding the things in his hand.

The little lunatic sometimes likes Wan'er and sometimes hates Wan'er.

When she likes it, Wan'er has something to eat.

When you hate it, that's when Wan'er bullies him.

And this time.

Wan'er grabbed his sleeve, the little lunatic thought that Wan'er was trying to bully him.

Wan'er wanted to see what the little lunatic was holding, wanted to snatch it to see what it was, but the little lunatic refused to let her see it.

This is not.

The two confronted each other like this, "Little lunatic, show me. If you show me, I'll trade you caramel."

As soon as the little lunatic heard the caramel, his eyes suddenly lit up.

moment.

The little hand hidden behind her passed it towards Wan'er's eyes, "Big, snail."

"Sister Wan'er, what is this?" The curious Sizi asked curiously when he saw what the little lunatic handed over.

Even Li Yi and the others behind Sizi were curious.

When Wan'er saw what the little lunatic was holding, she was startled and said, "Little lunatic, where did you get such a big snail? Give it to me quickly."

"Caramel." The little lunatic passed the snail over, still shouting caramel.

After Wan'er took the snail handed by the little lunatic, she turned around and looked, "Come back with me, and I'll get you caramel. How can there be such a big snail? Si, ​​this is called a snail, and it can be eaten as a stir-fry. , and can also be made into a beautiful display at home.”

Wan'er really knows snails.

But Sizi and the other princesses, their eyes were darkened.

Although there are many things that can be seen in the palace, things in the countryside are much rarer.

at this time.

Li Yuan had already been notified early, and was standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for these little girls.

After Wan'er and the others came to the small courtyard, they hurriedly saluted Li Yuan.

"Okay, okay, get up, come here, there are not so many rules, just do as you please. Sis, does your mother know when you come to Lizhuang?" Li Yuan looked at these girls, his eyes were full some warmth.

Sizi took Li Yuan's hand and nodded heavily, "Grandfather, mother knows, and father also knows."

After entering the hospital.

Li Yuan pulled Sizi and the others sat down and chatted some small words.

And Sizi's waxy response made Li Yuan laugh every time.

As for Li Yi and the others, they have been talking with Li Yuan all the time, always seeming to be a little intentional.

Li Yuan looked at Li Yi and the others, and knew it in his heart.

but.

Li Yuan didn't point it out, and kept talking to the girls.

Talk too much.

Naturally, it will make the little lunatic who has been waiting outside the courtyard unhappy.

This is not.

The little lunatic who had been waiting to eat caramel, stood directly outside the courtyard door, knocked heavily on the courtyard door, looked at Wan'er in the courtyard, "Caramel."

When Wan'er heard this, she giggled, "It's just a snail, why are you in a hurry. Xiaohong, go get a piece of caramel for the little lunatic."

Li Yuan, who was still talking, was interrupted by the voice of the little lunatic.

Immediately.

Li Yuan didn't say anything else anymore, "Sir, and Meng Jiang, you came to Lizhuang, you didn't come to chat with me, an old man, go and play. By the way, Wan'er, I heard your fourth brother yesterday Said, the melons in the melon field show signs of ripening soon, you can take Sizi and the others to the melon field to look for them."

"Thank you grandfather, let's go play then." Sizi and the others finally got the word.

Looking forward to it for a long time.

Sizi has always wanted to play.

If it wasn't for Li Yuan, they would have played together long ago.

On the way from yesterday to today, they have been listening to Wan'er talking about interesting things about Li Zhuang.

At this time, after Li Yuan talked about the melon, Wan'er was even more interested.

Holding Sizi's little hand, he was ready to take Sizi, Li Yi and the others to the melon field.

As for the snail.

Wan'er carefully placed it in the goldfish pond, "Uncle, this is a big snail that the little lunatic got from somewhere. I heard from the fourth brother that the snail can be eaten. Let the fourth brother make this snail at noon." Come and eat. Hey, uncle, why don't you see fourth brother?"

"Your fourth brother has gone to the workshop." Li Yuan didn't take it seriously.

It's just a snail, and it's not worth his fuss at all.

He, Li Yuan, has also seen a conch, which is much bigger than the big conch in front of him.

although.

The snail in front of him is not small, it is as big as the mouth of a bowl, and it is rare to see it in fresh water.

a group of people.

Under Wan'er's leadership, they headed towards the melon field.

Along the way, Sizi was not as afraid of being dirty as she was the first time here, but stepped on the ground, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, happily pointing to everything she saw around, asking Wan'er about everything.

"Si, this is the green storage pond, which is specially used to store green fodder for the cattle. This was built by my fourth brother to provide fodder for the cattle in Lizhuang in winter." Wan'er explained that silo.

Sizi often asks a question.

Wan'er's mouth is never far from her fourth brother.

And Sizi clapped his hands again and again, yelling, "Sister Wan'er, look, there are a lot of big geese there. There are so many, I want to eat big geese stewed with rice wine at noon,"

When passing through a puddle.

Sizi saw the big geese in Lizhuang.

Sizi has been clamoring for a big goose braised in rice wine since yesterday until today.

And as soon as Sizi spoke, Li Yi even echoed, saying that they wanted to eat big goose stewed in rice wine.

Even Wan'er was full of slander at this time, and after looking at the big goose in the distance, she nodded heavily, "Okay, I will ask fourth brother to make a big goose stewed in rice wine in a while. I haven't eaten it for a long time."

Talking and laughing all the way.

Not long after, a group of people had already arrived in the melon field.

"Little lady, why are you here!" Qiao Hui, who was checking in the melon field, saw Wan'er coming with a few princesses, and hurried up to greet her.

Wan'er looked at the green melons all over the melon field, and smiled happily. She was imagining in her mind that after these watermelons matured, she would eat a lot, so many that she couldn't even count them.

And Sizi behind her, as well as Li Yi and the others, were even more shocked by the scene in front of them.

They ate a lot of melons.

But it has never been planted.

even.

They have never even seen with their own eyes how melons are grown in the royal garden.

Not to mention the watermelons in front of me.
