Chapter 2 My food is not lacking(1/2)

The Taiwei was full of curiosity about this Zhuangzi. A powerful young man suddenly appeared next to the Huangzhuang. It was incredible.

Yes, he thinks it's awesome.

Because it is also wheat, the one grown by Huangzhuang is not as good as the one grown by Li Yizhuang.

The maturity period is obviously about ten days behind, and Li Yizhuangzi's wheat grows stronger.

The varieties look the same.

What went wrong?

With this in mind, he looked at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch didn't pay much attention to Zhuangzi next to him before. His thoughts were more on the palace and he wanted to go back.

Now that he saw the growth situation of Li Yizhuangzi's wheat, he was also a little confused.

Naturally, the eunuch also understood that the wheat on Li Yizhuang's farm would be harvested first.

I understand better the difference.

Ten days earlier means a lot less risk.

Once the wheat reaches maturity and encounters heavy rain, the early harvest will be finished or even finished in the sun.

Those harvested late will either have reduced yields and the grains will not be full, or they will have to wait for the wheat to germinate after being exposed to rain.

"Captain, I...I..." The eunuch was anxious, how to explain?

"Let's learn from him next year." The eunuch, Li Chengqi, chose to forgive him.

But the eunuch felt bitter in his heart, meaning that he would not be able to go back this year.

If you are in charge of an imperial estate, how can you have the right to go back and serve the emperor? For example, Gao Lishi.

"Call me Li... Da later. You speak in a lower voice." Li Chengqi ordered.

"Yes, Tai... Li Da." The eunuch quickly suppressed his voice and his voice was no longer so sharp.

In this regard, he envied Gao Lishi. He also lacked something. Why did Gao Lishi speak with a rich voice?

As they talked, the two came to the place where garlic was grown. It was a large piece of land, one hundred acres.

A group of people bent over and scattered garlic cloves.

Some people used poles to carry garlic cloves in soil baskets and carried them to the fields.

Soon Li Chengqi found Li Yi in the crowd, because Li Yi's temperament was different from others, even if they were both working.

He looked at the ground, which was wet, and stepped in.

The eunuch grinned, gritted his teeth and followed in, his shoes suddenly getting wet.

"Li Yi?" Li Chengqi stood next to Li Yi and asked.

Li Yi looked up: "Ah, it's me."

"Brother Li Xian invites you." Li Chengqi clasped his fists.

"My dear friend, please." Li Yi returned the gift with a pair of clay hands.

"Brother Li Xian, why do you grow garlic in wetlands?" Li Chengqi asked, expressing his doubts.

He knows how to plant garlic first and then water it.

"When the weather is cool and the ground is short of fertilizer, first soak it in water and let it dry in the sun for two days. The ground temperature will rise and the soil will be moist and warm. This is how you should plant garlic in spring in the north."

Li Yi introduced the situation.

In Chang'an, the land is not fertile enough.

If you mix fertilizer into the soil and then irrigate it, you need to pay attention to the temperature when growing garlic.

Therefore, the wet sowing method should be used for spring planting in the north. Water-soluble fertilizer is first used, and the temperature rises after it is exposed to the sun, and then garlic seeds are planted.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

This is called scientific planting.

"When the weather is cold and the water is cold, should we soak it first and then dry it in the sun before planting?"

Li Chengqi thought he knew how to farm, but when he asked a question, he realized that he didn't understand it.

"Exactly." Li Yi nodded and started to add garlic cloves again.

"What happens next?" Li Chengqi knelt down to ask for advice. He found it interesting.

"For top-dressing, garlic is the most difficult to grow and has high fertilizer requirements. If there is drought, top-dress with water fertilizer; if it rains, top-dress with dry fertilizer."

Li Yi answered casually, how simple it is, why bother asking?

Li Chengqi felt that he was being looked down upon. He took a deep breath and changed the topic: "When the farm is in short supply, will there be enough food?"

Li Yi looked up at him: "Is there Zhuangzi?"

"Yes." Li Chengqi answered truthfully.

According to the spacing, Li Yi continued to sprinkle garlic cloves.

At the same time, he said: "Whether food is enough depends on how much you eat. If you eat too much, of course it will not be enough."

"Then you won't be hungry if you don't eat?" Li Chengqi said to himself, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"Whether you are hungry or not depends on how much fat and water there is in your stomach. People who always eat meat will eat less food. People who always eat meat and fat will also eat less food. Otherwise?"

"Yes!"

"There is no shortage of oil in our farm, so we have enough leftover food to last until the harvest." Li Yi introduced, not hiding anything.

He is also very willing to tell the other person that if the other person listens and follows the instructions, his life span will be increased.

Li Chengqi felt that he understood that Li Yi was rich and nodded: "See how Li Xian's brother bought a lot of meat and oil in the village?"

Li Yi shook his head: "There's not that much meat oil, I'll use soybean oil."

"Soybean oil? Which bean? Is there oil in the beans?" Li Chengqi understood, but was even more confused.

"There are soybeans. After pressing the oil, you can still make tofu, but the tofu is not very delicious. If you don't want to make tofu, you can just steam them with soybean cakes."

Li Yi said with a smile.

"The beans are smelly, can they produce oil? Is the oil smelly?" Li Chengqi discussed in depth.

"The disadvantage of cooking with soybean oil is that it is fishy, ​​especially if it is cooked with raw oil. However, we can use sauce or chopped green onions to stir-fry it."

Li Yi is in a good mood and the other party is curious.

Maybe I can still sell soybean oil later.

If the other party is powerful enough, just tell them the method of extracting soybean oil.

Then the other party provides oil and water to many people and earns his own life.

***

It's noon, so we don't need anyone to bring us food, so we go back to the restaurant to eat.

Li Chengqi called Li Xiandi one after another to follow him.

The maid who stayed behind to do the work prepared the meal.

Put a lot of soybean oil in a large pan and fry the scallion pancakes.

Bean cakes made from fried bean cakes and spread with sauce.

Bacon, stir-fried garlic sprouts, wild vegetable and egg soup.

There are also last year’s dried vegetables marinated in shrimp paste and small pickles with pork skin.

The man who had been working all morning was not polite, he opened his cheeks and ate hard.

"Brother Li Xian, are you giving them this?" Li Chengqi was surprised. Isn't this life too good?

"Ah, how can you have the strength to work if you don't eat?" Li Yi was surprised and thought to himself, are you short-sighted?

"Where's the bran?" The eunuch understood what the boss meant and asked in a low voice.

"We feed the pigs and chickens, otherwise where would we get the eggs?" Li Yi looked over, meaning, are you stupid too?

Listening to the three people talking, the tenant farmers and the people who were bought unconsciously stood up and felt proud.

With the proprietor here, even if he is not busy on weekdays, there will be two meals a day without the smell of oil.

Now I work, I eat three delicious meals a day, that’s enough.

Li Yi didn't care. He was used to it. He used to be the boss of a small company.

Is it okay if employees don’t eat well?

In order to take care of the young female employees, he also bought a milk tea machine and ingredients, allowing the employees to learn to make it themselves and drink it as they pleased.

Then some employees became proficient in the operation and quit their jobs to sell milk tea.

Where can I go to explain this kind of thing?
To be continued...
