delicious farm girl

Chapter 401
The [-] mu of Fanmai can be said to be Li Er's painstaking effort in the past six months.

His sweat has flowed under every stalk of wheat here, and his footprints have been stepped on every mu of land.To him, this plant of Fanmai is simply a child he raised with his own care, and the weight is definitely no worse than sister Xiao's.

Therefore, when the magistrate finished looking at the village head's house and sister Hua's house, and then came to see their fanmai field, the magistrate's eyes became bright and hot.

"Okay, okay!" He kept clapping his hands, "The fanmai in this field really grows much better than the other ones. I have seen so many places in the past few days, and this is your best!"

This piece of land is within his own jurisdiction, and the county magistrate is of course also honored.

He quickly laughed and said, "Why don't you go for a walk inside with the magistrate, and take a good look?"

"Okay!" The magistrate nodded quickly.

The two officials were not afraid of getting their clothes dirty, so they immediately lifted their clothes and went into the field.Fortunately, the wheat is grown in dry land, and the distance between each plant is sufficient.The magistrate and magistrate went all the way in, carefully looked at the fanmai in this row, and confirmed that the fanmai here was indeed taller and stronger than those in other fields, and even the fanmai sticks on the top were taller and stronger. They all have more knots than other families, and they are bigger than other families, and the magistrate is overjoyed.

"Very good! Li Er, you really have lived up to the county's expectations of you. Tell me, how many catties of wild wheat can be produced by your family's acre of land?"

"One thousand catties." Li Er reported a number without even thinking about it.

The magistrate is still stable, but the magistrate has already jumped up. "Are you sure? One thousand catties? Li Er, think about it again, don't talk too much, or you won't be able to get back by then!"

Li Er thought for a while before speaking again: "At least one thousand catties."

Oh my God!
Zhixian covered his face speechlessly.He is obviously trying to persuade him to speak less, so that firstly, he can guarantee that he will not say anything wrong, and secondly, if the real mu yield is more than what he said, it will be a great joy, and the imperial court will definitely reward him in various ways!But if I have said it so firmly now, then there will be fewer surprises, and there will be fewer rewards to follow!
It's a pity that this person has such a brain, so he can't understand the hints he gave him?
The prefect over there has already burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay! The yield per mu is at least [-] jin. If what you say is true, you will definitely rank first among all the farmers in this province who grow wheat. When the goods are received, the government will definitely list your name in the list of rewards." I will be the first one, and I will praise you a few more words in the memorial to the household department."

Li Er didn't seem to understand what he meant, he still stood there with a straight face and motionless.

The magistrate was already too excited, so he quickly winked at Li Er. "Why don't you hurry up and thank the magistrate for his kindness?"

Li Er was still in a daze, as if he didn't understand what these two people were talking about.

The magistrate was so anxious to come over and drag Li Er to salute the magistrate.

The magistrate quickly smiled and waved his hands: "That's all. He has always been a solid person, and only a solid person can do practical things well. In this case, the government will not care about anything with him, as long as he looks at the person in front of him. A large expanse of wheat land is enough for this mansion!"

The county magistrate quickly apologized: "What the magistrate said is true, what he said is true! Since this is the case, why don't we have a meal at Li's house today?"

"Okay! I heard that Mrs. Li's cooking skills are excellent. It seems that the county is lucky today!" The county magistrate nodded cheerfully.

The magistrate hurriedly turned around and winked at Su Ran again. "Miss Li, why don't you hurry home and prepare meals? The magistrate is going to have dinner at your house today!"

"Yes." Su Ran quickly lowered her head.

There is still a flexible mind in this family.Zhixian hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Although these days I have seen a lot of well-grown wheat fields in other counties, but the batch planted by Li Er himself still opened the eyes of the magistrate.He was in a good mood for a while, and he was reluctant to leave just like that, so he chose a few more plots and looked at them carefully.

It was confirmed that the fanmai in these fields were growing well, and Li Er was serving these fields sincerely. The magistrate was in a good mood, and praised Li Er several times in public, and he was determined to reward Li Er for his credit.

After looking at the field for a long while, the group of them returned to Li Er's house.

At this time, Su Ran and their meals were ready.

Today, Su Ran made some good things with fanmai.

The rice I ate was cooked together with the leftover groats of wheat from last year. In addition to the fragrance of white rice in the bowl, there was also the unique refreshing aroma of rye bark that penetrated into the nostrils, which immediately made my index finger twitch. move.

A plate of stir-fried peas with wheat grains is fried with the fresh and tender wheat grains peeled off today and fresh peas.The fresh peas are crispy and smooth, and the wheat grains are fresh and tender. Once they are fried in a pan, the restrained aroma overflows. With just a handful of salt, the fragrance is so delicious that people have nothing to say. Just want to have a look. Spoon after spoon scooped bibimbap into the bowl to eat.

There were also a few fresh wild wheat, which were peeled and boiled in water, and then put in small pieces in front of the magistrate and magistrate. They ate it in their hands and were full of praise.

It's just that although the wheat was planted in their land, it was not theirs, so they didn't dare to make too much, so they just broke off a few and gave the magistrate and county magistrate a taste.

There are also some other dishes on the dinner table, that is, Su Ran's rabbit meat sauce, radish stewed rabbit meat and so on.

The food is not as exquisite as the restaurants in the provincial capital, but it has a delicious fragrance of the farmhouse. Both the magistrate and the county magistrate are very satisfied.

Both Zhifu and Zhixian ate two bowls of rice and another bowl of barley porridge before putting down their chopsticks reluctantly.

Touching his chubby belly, the magistrate looked satisfied: "Miss Li, your craftsmanship is really extraordinary, and you have already studied so many ways to eat this wheat. You should tell me about these methods, and I will do the same. It must be written in the memorial to the heavens!"

"This is actually very simple." Su Ran said softly.

"No matter how simple the method is, not everyone can think of it!" The magistrate sighed.

That's right.Su Ran then nodded: "I'll ask someone to write it."

"That's right! Later, the government will definitely say something to Mrs. Li in the memorial!" The prefect said quickly.

After watching Fanmai and eating and drinking enough, the magistrate left contentedly.But before he left, he had already negotiated with Li Er and the others: no one was allowed to move the remaining wild wheat, and after another month when the wild wheat was fully ripe, he would send someone to help them harvest it.After harvesting, the weight was weighed on the spot, and then it was transported directly to the capital to announce the good news to the emperor!
"Maybe, when Long Yan is happy, he will also call you to Beijing to face the saint!" The magistrate said cheerfully.

It's a pity that when he said this, the expressions of Su Ran and Li Er's couple were too calm, and they didn't have any excitement or joy about meeting the emperor.

This couple is really a pair of wood, and their reactions are slow enough!

The magistrate shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly.

However, it is precisely because they don't care about things outside of themselves that they can single-mindedly build such a large family business, and they can also concentrate on planting the [-]-acre field of wheat so well, right?

Now, only by asking for credit and rewards for them, can they get the rewards they deserve for their hard work in the past six months.

The prefect thought to himself, he couldn't help agreeing with this couple a little more.

After sending away the two high officials, the magistrate and county magistrate, Su Ran and his family had another bustling scene.

"Sister Ran, now you are going to be famous in the provincial capital! I heard the magistrate said that he still wants to speak well of you to the emperor! Does this mean that the emperor will know you all in the future?"

"Hey, the magistrate just said that, do you really take it seriously? The emperor is so busy, and all the affairs of the world are left to him alone. However, even if you can't see the emperor, as long as you can be praised by the emperor, then this One life is enough!"

"That's right! If the emperor can write a letter to them again, and they stick it on the door of the house, will that mean that the gold medal will be saved from death? At that time, not to mention the magistrate, even the magistrate will not dare to touch them. !"

……

The folks gathered together, you and I imagined the beauty of the future, but Su Ran and Li Er's couple just smiled lightly, and there was still no passion in their eyes.

Not far away, someone quietly watched the bustle here, and couldn't help but spit: "Bah! A few country bumpkins, it's just a little bit of luck, they have all climbed up to the magistrate, and they still want to be in the emperor's house." Leave a name in front of me? You think beautifully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed two icy and piercing gazes shooting towards him.Immediately, his back felt cold, and his whole body trembled.

Quickly look around - there is no one there!What's going on?
