"I let you grow, let you eat the fertilizer of the crops, and occupy the ridges of the fields!"
In the one-third-acre field next to Yong'an Palace, the old man squatted in the field with a straw hat, competing with Tianlongzhi's weeds.
They pulled up weeds with their big hands, threw them on the ground every time they were uprooted, cursed a few times, and then trampled the ground flat with their big feet.
"We pick manure and add fertilizer for you to eat? Damn it!!"
This year, not only grains were planted in the fields, but also many vegetables were planted. The old man pulled weeds and planted eggplants and melons all over.
The round eggplants and melons were shiny and tender. The old man threw the weeds far away, picked two at random, and sniffed them at the tip of his nose.
"Well, it smells so delicious!" He said, throwing the eggplant to Pu Bucheng behind him, "I steamed the eggplant for a while, then tore it into strips and mixed it with garlic paste, old vinegar, sesame sauce, and peppercorn oil for us!
"
With that said, the old man walked towards the paddy field over there again. He walked to the cage and threw off his cloth shoes, walked barefoot into the field, bent down and picked up a net bag.
The water splashed out from the net bag, revealing small fish, loaches, etc. in the net bag.
"Tsk, tsk, look at that, that's a lot!" the old man said with a smile, holding the net bag, "enough for a meal!" Then he bent down and poured the drizzle from the net bag into the wooden basin.
"I want to run away!" A small fish was tumbling, trying to jump into the water again, but was caught by the old man, "Damn it, if you run away, who will we eat?"
Then, he went to the edge of the field with his bare feet and a wooden basin.
"Old Pu, this will be stewed for us in the next half hour." As he said that, the old man laughed, "Look at these two dishes without leaving home, what else can you compare today?"
"Old man!" Pu Bucheng looked at the lively little fish in the wooden basin and said with a smile, "Should we raise them in clean water first and let them spit out their dirty things?"
"What's dirty? How can the fish in the rice fields be dirty!" The old man said with a sideways look, "I've only had enough food for a few days, and I'm so damned good at it!"
At this moment, a young eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"
The old man looked into the distance, and it turned out to be his eldest grandson, coming towards him with shouts and crowds.
"Tsk, it's a big show, who the hell are you showing it to?" The old man laughed and cursed, "When our eldest grandson comes, we will add another dish and make some vinegary cabbage. It will be sour and relieve the tiredness and relieve the heat."
~~
"My grandson has met Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi first saluted, and then saw the old man sitting on a bamboo chair. He quickly picked up the rag and wiped the muddy water from the old man's feet.
"Where did you come from?" the old man asked with a smile.
"My grandson went to Li Jinglong's village today!"
"His village?" The old man frowned, "What good village can his dandy kid create? All that land will be wasted!"
Zhu Yunxi wiped the old man's feet, took a pair of clean cloth shoes for the old man to put on, and said with a smile, "You are wrong, his farm is well managed. Not only are the crops in the farm growing well, but there are also
The scenery of the woods and ponds is also elegant..."
"Is it better than the fields we farm?" the old man said sideways.
"Then how can I compare with you!" Zhu Yunxi sat down next to the old man, "My grandson said he is good, but how can he compare with others? When it comes to you, the Li family's village is not good enough. If not for anything else, it is your family.
Their rice is much taller than theirs!"
"Our rice started to dung last winter! Before planting this year, it was dung again!" the old man said loudly, "and the vegetables in the garden, look at the color, they are all made by us using dung water.
.Only for this level of sophistication, no one can compare!”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Yunxi repeatedly echoed, "Your old crop-handling style cannot be matched by ordinary people, but you should also pay attention to your health and don't be tired!"
"No food!" The old man was very happy after hearing his grandson's flattery. "Just in time, we just caught a small fish. Let us have two cups!"
Zhu Yunxi had just eaten a lot of rice dumplings and barbecue at Li Jinglong's place, so he couldn't eat any more. But the old man had already spoken, so he didn't dare to say he wouldn't eat.
The two of them sat in the pavilion next to the vegetable garden, and soon the vegetables were put on the table.
Just three simple dishes, a bowl of rice and a pot of wine.
The breeze was a bit pleasant, but the faint smell of manure in the air was a bit off-putting.
"Eat those small fish and loaches, they are freshly fished out from the paddy fields, so fresh!" The old man was in a good mood while eating with his grandson.
"Seeing this little fish, my grandson remembered that I used to fish for snails with you!" Zhu Yunxi picked up a loach and ate it slowly, and said.
"This year's snails are also big!" the old man whispered to the little fish and said with a smile, "The key is that this year's rice is well fertilized. Not to mention the snails, even the weeds are more lush than in previous years, and you can't even pluck them!"
The old man's words suddenly reminded Zhu Yunxi of something.
The country is like this three-quarter acre of land. If there is not enough fertilizer, the yield will be insufficient, but if there is too much fertilizer, snakes, insects, rats, and ants will come.
"Farming is actually the same as running a country. It all depends on diligence!" The old man continued, "There should be no weeds in the field. Pick them out as soon as you see them. Apply fertilizer diligently and look at the pond over there.
It’s all shit…”
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi's chopsticks faltered.
Coupled with the vague smell of the air, he couldn't eat anymore.
"Why are you stunned? Eat it!" The old man rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi, "Hey, I heard that you can't eat after being covered in feces? How pretentious!"
Zhu Yunxi put down his chopsticks and said, "My grandson is here to tell Grandpa Huang some good news?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him again, put a loach into his mouth, and spit out a thorn, "What's the good news? You have a wife again?"
"You know?" Zhu Yunxi smiled.
"It's true!" The old man grinned and took a sip, "Which wife is pregnant?"
"The new pure concubine is that girl Xiao Shunzi!" The palace was not crowded and lacked popularity.
He now only has two sons and one daughter, Zhao Ning'er's legitimate son Jin, Tang Pang'er, a pair of twins, Si Jin and Yaya. There are indeed a few children in the palace.
Not to mention that the old man was looking forward to having more children, the ministers would write letters every now and then, asking Zhu Yunxi to have more children.
"That girl!" The old man thought about it, "Well, it's better to be young. Look how easy it is to get pregnant! It's only been a while since she was promoted to a concubine, and she's pregnant!"
After saying that, the old man continued, "From now on, when you choose your concubine, you should choose the younger one!"
"There are already enough women in the palace!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Why choose so many concubines? The emperor only has one grandson, so he is too busy!"
"I'm not talking about you!" the old man said disdainfully, "Why can't you be busy with that matter? You have gone to Li Jinglong's house to talk nonsense, so give us more effort, right! Work harder earlier, and now there are children all over the floor in front of us.
Ran!"
As he spoke, the old man sighed slightly, "I didn't have enough to eat in the past, but my mother gave birth to babies like an old hen laying eggs and couldn't keep them in. Now I eat better than anyone else and use them better than anyone else. Let you guys
Why is it so difficult to have children later in life!"
At this moment, Wang Shai came over quietly.
"Your Majesty, a book has arrived!" He said, holding a yellow sealed box in his hands and presenting it.
The old man continued to eat with his head down, without even looking at it.
Zhu Yunxi slowly tore open the seal and said, "Your Majesty, Tie Xuan would like to play!"
