Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 677 Pecans

Yan Qinghe is making arrangements for picking hickory nuts without haste.

He passed down an order that everyone who worked could receive two months according to their hard work.

When he came over, the imperial court also gave him silver taels.

Before Yun Yiyi gave the imperial court a few prescriptions such as potato chips, the imperial court was in charge of it.

This income can be described as not cheap.

Most of the relief money he received this time came in this way.

First of all, it is to provide jobs and let the people work, and then lead them to get rich. Every process is strictly followed, and finally it is sold to the outside world and becomes the special food of Yunzhou.

The head of each village took the villagers into the mountains to pick hickory nuts, because Yan Qinghe had stated in advance that only young and middle-aged people would carry them, so the old people were left behind.

It's not discrimination.

Picking pecans isn't just about picking them, it's also about transporting them down the mountain.

These require relatively high physical strength, and the elderly are not in good health, so accidents are prone to occur when they are transported.

Yan Qinghe planned to let them do some light work.

He thought about it hard, and he could fry the pecans directly.

The process of walnut crisps is a bit complicated, and the elderly may not be able to learn it now, so it is better to let them simply fry them and make them into snacks.

When the county magistrate brought those old people and teenagers over, Yan Qinghe also remembered the detailed method.

He divided the people into several pairs of horses, with ten people in each team, and then chose one person to be the captain.

The purpose of the captain is to lead the team to be the first.

Yan Qinghe indicated that the first completed pair with the best quality will be rewarded.

If the first team cannot reach the target, it will be removed.

The reason why this rule is formulated is also because of fear that some people will be lazy and not work.

While his goal is to provide jobs, he wants to see villagers take the initiative.

In this way, even after he leaves, the people here can continue perfectly according to this system.

He has established a suitable rest time every day to ensure that these people will not be tired.

The walnut pickers on the mountain have already come down.

Brought lots of pecans.

There is a spring at the foot of the mountain. Yan Qinghe arranged for these people to pour out the picked walnuts and put them on a round bamboo basket, and wash off the picked dust with mountain spring water.

After Yan Qinghe asked them to wash them, they boiled a pot of water and boiled the washed walnuts in the pot.

This step only needs someone to watch the fire.

Yan Qinghe explained the precautions.

The next step is to crack the walnuts, which doesn't require much effort.

Next, season with five spices and stir-fry using the ancient method.

There are five steps in frying walnuts: washing, boiling, knocking, fragrant, and frying.

Each team is assigned according to the different personnel.

At the beginning, some people were confused, but under Yan Qinghe's demonstration, they soon got on the right track.

Yan Qinghe stood in front of several pots, checking the heat and weight one by one.

If something is wrong, he points it out.

After working like this for a long time, the first batch of fried walnuts came out.

Because the walnuts have been cracked, the walnuts are easy to peel, and the taste is crisp and fragrant.

Yan Qinghe tasted it, and it was similar to what he ate at Yun Yiyi's place before.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Su Ming said: "Master, can this thing be eaten?"

Yan Qingming glanced at him: "Don't you know if you eat it?"

Su Ming blushed.

He picked up a walnut and broke it open, exposing the walnut kernel.

A scent swept over, and Su Ming quickly picked out the walnut kernels, an indescribable smell.

"It's delicious." Su Ming nodded repeatedly.

Yan Qinghe threw a walnut to Feng Fu: "Do you think this snack has commercial value?"

Feng Fu quickly took it: "My lord, this is a wonderful idea, I have never seen this in the Qiang Kingdom."

He just watched from the sidelines, the cost is low, the production is fast, and the profit from selling it is very high.

This kind of delicacy is delicious and not easy to put away, so it is suitable for long-distance travel.

Not only is it exported to the country, but even if it is shipped to other provinces, it can also make a lot of money.

Not to mention the barbecue and hot pot that Yan Qinghe brought out, are they unique in any country, okay?

It can occupy the market as soon as it appears.

The reason why Feng Fu was able to become the richest businessman in the Qiang Kingdom was firstly due to Lu Ziye, and secondly due to his keen business acumen.

Although he is a foodie, he also understands that the appearance of this snack is definitely the best.

"My lord, I want as much as you have here. This is not something that is easily damaged, and it can withstand transportation." Feng Fu said, "If you leave it to me, my lord, I will definitely handle it properly for you."

Yan Qinghe smiled: "Of course I believe you, but what I say is unsubstantiated, and I have to write evidence to prove it. The magistrate of Yunzhou is responsible for this matter, and you can sign it with him."

The county magistrate of Yunzhou quickly stood up, puffing his chest out: "I can make the decision."

Feng Fu nodded indifferently, as long as he can do the business.

He is not short of money, what he lacks is money to make money.

It would be foolish for him not to do such a unique business in the market.

If he wins now, he will be able to open up this market.

If you want to buy, you can only find him.

Simply.

Several large baskets of fried walnuts that had already been prepared were bought by Feng Fu, and he bought more than a dozen carriages to transport these foods.

He left some people here to wait for the second batch of walnuts to come out.

The people present were all excited.

Especially when Yan Qinghe said that he would give them money now, the cheerful atmosphere reached its peak.

Because everyone does different things, such as those who carry walnuts are worth more money than those who wash walnuts.

But no one present was jealous.

This is what they deserve.

There is no need to steal or rob, and you can earn money by your own ability.

Everyone sees hope here.

The people who were a little tired at first seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and everyone was in high spirits.

"My lord, your method is really good." The magistrate of Yunzhou danced excitedly.

"This matter is only half done." To his surprise, Yan Qinghe just smiled lightly, "After picking, it will naturally be planted. Otherwise, if we only pick and don't plant, how can we be long-term."

"What your lord said is that the next official will select some more people to plant walnuts."

The efficiency of the magistrate was very fast, and dozens of people were transferred out in a blink of an eye.

Yan Qinghe noticed that among these people were old and young, men and women.

These people are the more clever people in the previous teams, which is good. Let a clever person learn to plant, and then he can teach others after he learns it.

"Let's go, let's go plant walnuts." Yan Qinghe looked back and walked out first.

Everyone picked up their tools and followed.

Young hickory trees like shade, and it will take 10 years to get better benefits.

That's why Yan Qinghe decided to plant earlier. This is a long process.

He finally settled on a warm, moist spot with rich, well-drained soil, perfect for growing walnuts.

Therefore, it is not necessary to fully reclaim the land for afforestation. Yanqing River conducts block land preparation with a plant-to-row spacing of 5×6 meters, keeping a suitable distance.

The planting process was very tedious, but no one was impatient, and everyone listened carefully to what Yan Qinghe had to say.

"The fertilization ditch should not be too deep, otherwise, it will easily damage the roots of the trees. Just spread the fertilizer in the ditch and cover it with soil, just like me." Yan Qinghe did it carefully.

Everyone didn't dare to blink their eyes, and they immediately pointed out what they didn't understand.

This is about the fate of their lives.

They have tasted the sweetness.

After everyone had finished planting, Yan Qinghe checked again.

After confirming that there was no problem, he walked to the walnut forest before.

"I told you how to plant, and I will also tell you how to prevent and control diseases and pests." Yan Qinghe said, "Pests and diseases are the biggest problem affecting the production of hickory nuts, so we have to be prepared from the beginning."

Yan Qinghe walked up to a rotten fruit tree and said to the crowd: "To such a degree of rot, the diseased spots or branches should be scraped off in time, and the main branches and side branches with such diseased spots should be scraped off the trunk in time with a sharp scraper. Scrape off the surface of the diseased skin."

"Look here, with this degree of rot, at least so much must be scraped off until the white-green healthy skin is exposed."

"Pay attention to scraping the necrotic parts, sawing off the severe parts directly, and taking them out of the mountains and burning them."

At the end, Yan Qinghe's expression was very serious.

"My lord, why did you do this?" A villager who didn't understand asked.

They have never done such a complicated thing, and they didn't understand it for a while.

Yan Qinghe raised his eyebrows: "If you can't be poisoned, you only need to cut off an arm to survive in the early stage. Are you willing to cut off your own arm?"

"This... Compared with the arm, the life is naturally more important." The person who asked the question did not hesitate.

"Then, if you have been poisoned to the marrow, can you still be saved?" Yan Qinghe continued to ask.

"It's all poisoned to the bone marrow, where can I save it?" Everyone immediately laughed.

Yan Qinghe was still unhurried: "People are like this, so are trees. When it only encounters a small part of insect damage, you only need to cut off its branches, and it will continue to grow trunks, but if you let it go, eventually It will only poison the bone marrow."

This is the answer to the previous question of the villagers.

Everyone suddenly enlightened.

How about saying that the adults from the capital are smart.

"As for why the mountains and forests are brought out and burned, it is naturally to prevent the spread of disasters and reduce the source of germs. Prevention and control are one aspect of protection and governance is another aspect. Both aspects are indispensable, so prevention is the first. rule."

Yan Qinghe spoke slowly, and his tone was soft.

Try to explain it in terms that the villagers can understand.

Everyone nodded, expressing their understanding.

On the way back, the villagers whispered and told each other what happened today.

"My lord knows a lot." Someone exclaimed.

"Look at what you said, how can I become an adult?"

"It's reasonable. If you don't understand more, how can you govern this country well?"

"If the adults hadn't said that the walnuts were edible, we would have almost missed this business opportunity."

"I can finally buy a pair of shoes for my granddaughter..."
