Fields of Gold

King Jing was very excited: his youngest son finally talked to him!! Don't say it's locusts, it's poison. My youngest son went out to sea, grew into the sea, his temper didn't smell as bad as before, he came back for more than half a year without causing trouble, but gained a reuse from the Emperor. When I think of the praise of the youngest son in Beijing, King Jing said he was honored.

Although he was happy, he still had a serious shelf on his face, picked up the chopsticks and clipped a large chunk of grass sauce, learned to look like his son, rubbed it on his bun head, and when his mouth was about to bite down, he was stopped by Princess Jing: "Your Highness, that's... it's made of worms. Are you sure you can eat it? ”

“Nothing! I heard Father say that in the southwest mountains, worms are used to entertain distinguished guests. Some worms are nutritious and rich in what... protein? My son's fine. I'm his old man. What can I do for him?” Despite the Princess's obstruction, "Ah Woo" bit a large bite, carefully tasted it, it tasted really good, it smelled like shrimp rice.

Zhu Junyang said while eating: “This is fermented grasshopper sauce, which is not allergic to common people. The last time Su Da Tu around the Emperor, he ate the unfermented grasshopper sauce and got all tingly and itchy. Although grasshopper sauce is delicious, not everyone can eat it. ”

When Princess Jing thought that the two fathers and sons were eating the kind of worms that looked horrible, she felt like she had no appetite at all. Locust plagues along the coast also spread to the capital city. The flowers in her garden were devastated by locusts. Fortunately, the noble flowers brought back from Tang Gu were moved to the glass heating room in time, otherwise the locusts would not escape the scourge.

Speaking of tea flowers brought back from Tang Gu, Princess Jing felt her eyebrows raised and exhaled. There are many people in Beijing who love tea flowers, among them Princess Jing and Mrs. Feng are the most obsessed. Originally, this pair of sisters, who share the same hobbies, are intimately connected, often share the secrets of flower cultivation, and tea flower banquets are held together. Tea and flower banquets are not open to everyone, and invitations are only possible if there is sufficient identity and the character needs to be recognized by Princess Jing and Mrs. Feng.

The tea flower banquet makes Jingzhong's famous doorstep show and the ladies feel flattered. If anyone can get an invitation to the banquet, it is not only among the many noble ladies to raise their eyebrows and exhale, but the whole family feels the light on their faces.

No one in the upper circles of Beijing and Zhongzhong knows about the tea feast. But the scene didn't last long. The two sympathetic hosts collapsed! Jing Zhongzhong knew that King Jing was extremely fond of the Queen. Because of her hobby, she searched everywhere for the famous tea flowers, which made Mrs. Feng both happy and envious. Happily, there are new tea flower varieties at the annual tea feast, envious that none of these are hers and can only be appreciated occasionally.

Mrs. Feng is a true flower lover. Not only does she love flowers, she also plants them very well, and she has personally cultivated new varieties of tea flowers, which makes Princess Jing envious. Therefore, Princess Jing also learned to serve her favorite tea flowers with her own hands. But she later called herb killer not white, and many precious tea flowers were raised in her face. Mrs. Feng persuaded her many times, but Princess Jing planted flowers with interest, not listening at all. Until she planted an 18th Bachelor of Excellence to death, Lady Feng did not sleep for a few days, had a fight with her, and the two broke down. The tea feast is gone...

“Ma'am, what do you think?” Prince Jing was being forced by his father to try grasshopper sauce and ask for help from his mother-in-law, but he found her foolish.

Princess Jing returned to God and sighed: “I wonder if the precious flowers in the valley that Yu Xiaograss is talking about have been devastated by locusts. The last time Little Grass took the maid of the housewife, she was said to have seen a lot of precious flowers and herbs not far from home, as well as some old herbs. What a wonderful place! If I wasn't afraid of fierce beasts, I'd like to see them too! ”

When Zhu Junyang remembered the wolf named Grey, he nodded: “I've heard about this place, and it's home to a big, powerful grey wolf. However, the wolf is very spiritual and has helped the rest of the family! ”

Seeing Princess Yang was curious about the topic, she briefly told them about their resistance to the wolves. Princess Jing exclaimed: “Little grass helped the wolf, and the wolf saved her father. I didn't expect animals to have meaning. Just having a wolf at home wouldn't cause trouble for the rest of the family? ”

Zhu Junyang said: "I told the villagers that it was my pet from childhood to large. I went back to Beijing with inconvenience and asked the rest of the family to help me raise it. The wolf understands human speech, and if it is not malicious, it will not attack. By the way, this year's New Year's Eve, is it still in the palace? ”

“The Emperor has sent a message saying that if it freezes in the cold, let it not be tormented. Just eat it at your own home at night.” Jing Wang ate grasshopper sauce and tasted good. He scooped another spoon on the bun.

Zhu Junyang saw the grasshopper sauce brought back. A bottle has gone half way and some of it has been sorely packed away. When King Jing saw him, he laughed and scolded: "Son of a bitch, you want to hide grasshopper sauce and eat a solo meal? No way! Hurry up and honor me with a can...”

Zhu Junyang only brought back four cans of grasshopper sauce this time, two of which were still given to the general. Seeing a face, "If you don't give me grasshopper sauce, you're just an unfaithful father." Zhu Junyang endured heartache, planking a face, and unwillingly gave the remaining half can to his father.

King Jing was so angry and funny: “What look did you get? It's like cutting your flesh! If you like it, you won't buy the formula and let our cook make it for you! ”

“Without ingredients, how?” Zhu Junyang thought of a few pockets of locusts in Yujia's ice cellar, thinking that as soon as the spring was unfrozen, he went to Dongshan Village to sit in town, his name was: supervise corn planting.

Zhu Junyang has asked Zhao County to pay attention to the purchase of land in Tang Gu Town. Tang Gu Town is not as lucky as the rest of the family as the locust disaster. In the surrounding villages, the vast majority of agricultural land is grainless and the population accumulates very little food in their homes, so most people buy expensive food for their livelihoods before the disaster comes. There will be very little money in the family to survive the winter and next spring, and there will certainly be no small number of children selling land for sale.

Since Tang Gu is to be made into a cultivation base for corn seeds, a large amount of agricultural land is needed. More than one hundred and seventy acres of Yu Xiaowei family land, not enough to plug the teeth. Therefore, Zhu Junyang has been ordering Zhao County to buy land continuously since autumn, preferably in one piece. It doesn't even matter if it doesn't form a piece, just swap it with someone else. The court will use the land to compensate for some more silver money. It is impossible not to exchange for acquaintance.

Just as Zhu Junyang was working silently for next year's work, the rest of the family had begun to prepare for the New Year with joy.

The last wild boar in the circle was also killed a short time ago. Xishan Village Grass's grandmother's house, as well as the old brothers' house, each sent ten kilos of wild pork and twenty kilos of white noodles, along with several large cabbages.

Households are now having difficulty, even though the price of rice grain has stabilized, but at the time of the disaster, the livestock kept at home feared wasting their grain long before it was killed. At New Year's Eve, the price of pork soared all the way up, and it had long been robbed by the rich people in town, and it was not the people's turn.

Of course, people can't afford hundreds of pounds of pork, and that's what a lot of people's dumplings for New Year's Eve dinner are prepared to do with dry dishes. I couldn't eat meat in the past, and cabbage radishes. It's not bad to have dried vegetables this year!

These yearly gifts from the rest of the family are like charcoal delivery in the snow. At the time of the New Year's Eve, it was catching up with heavy snow, and the snow calves outside were so deep that it was difficult for the vehicle to get through. Yu Xiaograss was excited to take on the task of delivering the New Year's Eve. Ever since the sleigh was made, except for a few laps in the mountains, there was no chance to show it, and now her wolf sleigh can finally come in handy.

Since coming to the rest of the house, the gray has been filled with spirit stone water every day, it is already taller and more powerful, it sits on the ground and the grass can't reach the top of its head. Grey looks mightier than the gentlest dog in front of the grass. As for others, you can only see the cold side of it. The rest of the family wants to make it, never! Therefore, the gift of the New Year's Eve can only go to Little Grass. Who lets people run sleighs without skill?

On a small sleigh, sitting in front of the rest of the grass with pork and white noodles in the back. There's a railing behind the sleigh, don't worry about losing the wedding halfway.

Yu Xiaograss wore the warmest clothes, and he wore a rabbit leather hat on his head to wrap his ears inside. He had rabbit fur around his neck and thick rabbit fur in his boots. Yu Hai feared that her daughter would freeze and wrapped her wolfskin coat around her again, leaving only one pair of eyes outside.

“Let's go!” Yu Xiaowei waved to his family and said something to Big Gray. Gray slowly walked up on the snow, out of the village, it began to accelerate, and the mountain forests on both sides of the road quickly backed away.

At first, Xiao Kuo and Xiaobai also wanted to follow, but their short legs were trapped in the snow, unable to run fast, without leaving Dongshan Village, they were dumped behind by their wolf father and had to go home.

During the snowy season, the cold freezes, hardly a pedestrian is seen on the road, and there is no fear that the ashes will frighten the others. Yu Xiaoxue went to Grandpa's second brother's house first. Yu Lixia lives in Xishan Village and Dam Village to the west, where there are more good fields than mountains and sea. The Yu Lixia family has more than a dozen acres of good land, and after paying taxes, the rest of the food can barely be wrapped in hunger. But after all, this is a disastrous year, and even though the court has waived agricultural taxes, life is still tight.

When Yu Xiaograss entered the village, perhaps everyone was cat winter at home and didn't meet anyone. She drove the sleigh straight to Grandpa Er's door and knocked. The door was opened by Yuyang, the eldest son of Grandpa Er's family. When he saw the grass wrapped in a ball, he immediately said: “Is this... Xiaolian or Xiaograss? ”
