There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

"Father, this is all a reward from the official."

Qi Qijin was the first to say: "Isn't it just to show you the old man, and then think about how to arrange it?"

"reward?"

Qi Zheng's eyebrows twitched: "What do you mean by that? How did you get the reward?"

Qi Quanjin recounted today's experience, and finally added: "There are two kinds of seeds in it that we haven't seen before, but Mengniang has seen them in books."

While talking, Quan Quanjin turned out the watermelon seeds and picked up an ear of corn.

Qi Zheng is a real crop veteran, and he was confused after seeing these two things: "These two are really edible?"

Quan Qijin couldn't answer this question, so he could only look at his wife.

The others also looked at Yi Meng, waiting for a clear answer from the other party.

Yi Meng picked up an ear of corn, and said: "The book says it's edible. This corn is too dry now, so you can eat it directly by roasting it, or boil it in water, but it's hard and useless."

"However, we can peel off the corn kernels on it and grind them into flour for cooking porridge, or steaming them with noodles."

Yi Meng looked at the dried corn ears in his hand, and his saliva was a little bit flooded.

In the previous life, I really didn't think this food was so delicious, but now I haven't eaten it for many years, and seeing it again, it's so greedy.

As for the watermelon, she really has nothing to do at the moment.

Watermelon seeds can also be eaten, just like melon seeds, but eating them like this is too wasteful, and the best way is to make seeds first.

Qi Zheng looked at the ears of corn in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Take out ten first, and let's grind them into flour for a try. If it works, we'll keep the rest for seeds."

After a pause, Qi Zheng asked Yi Meng again: "When is this thing suitable for planting?"

Yi Meng had thought about this issue on the way back, and there was no outsider at the moment, so she spoke out her plan.

"It's August now, and I guess it may not be able to grow after planting. So I thought about clearing out a house, planting more soil, and trying it in the house. If it can bear fruit in winter, wait until spring. Just plant it directly."

"Even if this fails, it will not delay the normal cultivation next year. Dad, do you think this will work?"

Yi Meng doesn't know when is the most suitable time for farming, but it shouldn't be a problem to try it in the house.

The beams of the house are all high, and the root system of the corn is not as developed as that of the big tree, so it is not a big problem to cultivate more soil.

After hearing this, Qi Zheng nodded directly: "Success, let's do this first. Boss, tomorrow you and the second and third children will get more soil, and first..."

As he said that, Qi Zheng stopped to think for a while, and said, "Just try it in the east room in the front row! Jiulang is still young, and he won't be living alone in a while."

Qi Shilang's house is now used by two Mr. Lang Zhong, and Qi Balang's room is next door. Although it is not needed now, it is not good for the two Mr. Lang Zhong to live next door to the farm.

Qi Zheng thought so, but the others had other ideas.

Qi Ercai said: "Father, except for the rooms of Dalang and Erlang, the other rooms are basically empty. Why don't we take advantage of the warm weather and dig the soil, and clean up those rooms first! Build some troughs, so that when winter comes, the yards in the city and the houses at home will grow vegetables, and during the Chinese New Year, we can sell more and make more money.”

This proposal won the unanimous approval of everyone.

Qi Zheng didn't nod immediately, but looked at Quanjin instead: "Fourth brother, go and ask the two gentlemen if you mind."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone realized that such an arrangement was tantamount to letting the two gentlemen live outside, which was not very polite.

Quan Quanjin responded, saying that he would ask questions later.

Qi Zheng frowned: "Go and ask now!"

"Okay, I'll go now."

Quan Quanjin was not annoyed, and hurriedly got up to find the two gentlemen.

It was dark now, but Yin Cheng and Qin Minglang didn't sleep, but sat on the kang in Yin Cheng's room and played chess.

The two of them have no other hobbies, either studying medical books or playing Go.

There is no requirement for the texture of Go. One side is rounded stones, and the other side is made of wood.

The grid is spelled out with a piece of wood, and the grid is carved on it.

It's a bit crude, but the two of them use it smoothly, killing a few games every day.

The family members didn't bother me at the moment, they were the only two old people in the room.

Quan Quanjin knocked on the door, and only after receiving a response did he open the door and go in.

Seeing them playing chess, they didn't bother. They naturally refilled the teacups of the two gentlemen, then sat aside and waited.

On the chessboard, Yin Cheng's stones were obviously surrounded by Qin Minglang's wooden blocks, and it seemed that he was not far from losing.

Yin Cheng was annoyed about how to break the situation, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know where the stone in his hand would fall.

Yu Guang saw that Quan Quanjin didn't speak after coming in, just sat there after pouring water, and he was even more annoyed.

Brat, I don't know how to interrupt their chess game by talking, isn't this obviously waiting to see myself lose?

Yin Cheng really didn't know how to make a move, so he simply threw the stone in his hand into the small basket beside him, waved his hand to disrupt the chessboard, and said, "No more, the fourth boy must be here for something right now, let's get down to business. "

Seeing that the chess game that could be won immediately was ruined like this, Qin Minglang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and still echoed: "Okay, let's get down to business."

Is it true that he can't see that senior brother is cheating?
It's useless to see it, the senior brother wants to play tricks, and he, the junior brother, can't refuse to follow suit.

While tidying up the chess pieces on the chessboard, Qin Minglang asked Quan Jin: "Quan Jin, why are you here now?"

Quan Qijin couldn't understand the chess game, he thought it was because the old man wanted to talk about business, he felt somewhat embarrassed, but he was delayed, so he hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, Yin Cheng snorted: "I don't think it's such a big deal. It's worth your special visit. Those rooms are empty and they are empty. It's a good thing to use them to make money."

Qin Minglang also said: "That's right! Before, I was worried that those empty houses in winter would be bad if they didn't burn fires, but now they are used to grow vegetables, so there is no need to waste firewood."

"The two gentlemen don't mind, then this matter is settled. However, Mr. Yin's house is facing Xishan, and the cold wind blows in winter, so I'm afraid it will be cold."

Qi Quanjin had long wanted to change houses for the two gentlemen, but this room was cooler than the middle room in summer, so he let the two gentlemen live first.

Originally, I wanted to move to the middle room in winter, but now the other empty rooms are used to grow vegetables in winter, which is obviously inconvenient, so I brought it up at this time.

Yin Cheng waved his hands after hearing this: "Xishan is not too cold. This is a newly built house, and it is not ventilated."
