Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

"Qing Han, stay away, don't get so close." Dare to step forward without knowing what it is, Zhong Qingran has to admire the courage of the child, this is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!

Zhong Qinghan took several steps back before he felt his heart beating violently. He stroked it with his small hands, and then slowly calmed down.He has never seen such an ugly fish, it should be a fish, right?Zhong Qinghan thought uncertainly.

Seeing that Zhong Qinghan was far away, Zhong Qingran turned his attention to the unknown marine creature thrown ashore by Zhou Ming.This is indeed a fish, but its appearance is too shabby, no wonder it scares Qing Han.

Seeing that the fish looked weak, Zhong Qingran reckoned that there was no threat, so he took a few steps forward.He looked at it carefully, and it looked like a grouper, but he wasn't sure.After all, although he has drawn many fish, including grouper, but there are so many species of grouper, and the shapes are very different, it is impossible for him to know all of them.This question did not bother him, so Zhong Qingran wrote the three characters "grouper" on the ground with his feet, took out the pointer he carried with him, flicked it lightly, and finally the pointer was right on the three characters "grouper".

Zhong Qingran is very satisfied with the result, it seems that his ability to argue things is not bad.He knew that grouper was edible and tasted good, but he didn't know if all grouper were safe, especially not all creatures in this world were the same as those in his previous life, Zhong Qingran didn't dare to take this risk, and used After confirming the ability of the Fortune Pearl to be edible, Zhou Ming was assured to put it away.

"Qinghan, don't be afraid, this is a grouper and it's edible." Zhong Qingran patted Zhong Qinghan's head with the back of his hand, the little guy was quite frightened just now.

"Third brother, is this really edible?" Seeing that the fish didn't move, Zhong Qinghan was no longer afraid, and stood in front of the bucket to watch boldly, but when Zhong Qingran said that the fish was edible, his expression changed Wonderful.

Zhong Qinghan really couldn't imagine what kind of fish could scare a baby to tears just by its appearance. By the way, the third brother said it was a grouper. People who have seen the real face of this fish can really eat it?In this regard, he expressed doubts.However, if the third brother said he could eat it, he would definitely be able to eat it. Well, later on, he held back his nausea and meant to eat a couple of mouthfuls, which was regarded as his support for the third brother.

Zhou Ming also looked respectful and indifferent. Although he had been active in the waters near Jizhou for a long time before retiring from the army and saw a lot of strange things, most of them ended up being thrown away instead of being served on the dinner table. Put it in your mouth.He has never seen this type of fish in front of him, maybe because he has too little experience, maybe other people have caught this kind of fish before.

The things in the sea were of different sizes, Zhong Qingran was afraid of catching a big guy and dragging him into the sea, so he still stuck his fishing rod on the ground.

Zhou Ming didn't leave this time. He was worried about a half-grown child and a child.He didn't notice it before, but now that he has learned about it, it is impossible to let the two of them stay here.It's okay to move the supplies slowly, if Zhong Qingran is gone, they probably won't be able to leave Hanhai Prefecture again in the future, how could he allow such a thing to happen in front of him?

"Third brother, is this a red crayfish? It's such a big one." Zhong Qinghan learned his lesson this time and didn't dare to rush forward again. After seeing clearly, he trotted over with a look of amazement.

"You're right in saying that, the taste is not very different, but this is a big lobster, not the same species as red lobster." Zhong Qingran looked at the half-foot-long lobster and couldn't help but sigh that they came at the right time , if it weren't for the fact that there is no one here, how could he get so many good things so casually?

Zhong Qingran's idea was obviously very correct. Later, he caught a sea crab as big as two palms and some salmon and cod. His half day was not wasted, at least he added a few dishes to the evening banquet.

This time the sea fishing was quite fruitful, and the bucket Zhong Qinghan brought over could no longer hold it. Seeing this, Zhou Ming immediately went back to the pier to get another one, and then he was able to stuff them all in.

Zhong Qingran made a rough estimate that the catch this time should have weighed about thirty catties, and the heaviest was the ugly-looking grouper, which accounted for almost one-third of all the catch.

"Captain Zhou, how many supplies are left? Can we move them before the sun goes down?" Zhong Qingran followed Zhou Ming, and together with Zhong Qinghan, walked back to the pier slowly.

"Hurry up, just finish this trip, leave five people to take care of the boat, and the rest will go to the village." Zhou Ming said truthfully.

"Five people? It's a little less, let them be more alert at night." In this kind of matter, Zhou Ming and others have experience, so Zhong Qingran didn't add much, and just reminded him casually and stopped asking.

"Third brother, the carriage is here." Zhong Qinghan tugged Zhong Qingran's sleeve, with a hint of joy in his tone.

"Why, don't you like this place?" Zhong Qingran said jokingly.

Zhong Qinghan quickly shook his head and vetoed, with a small smile on his face: "It's very interesting to fish with the third brother, I have never seen these fish before."

"Oh, then you..."

"I want to eat the sea fish made by my sister-in-law San. If I go back earlier, I can taste it sooner." Zhong Qinghan lowered his head slightly, with a slight blush on his face.

Zhong Qingran was amused, his younger brother thought he had already entered school and was still greedy, so how embarrassing was that?Don't even look at it, he is only a seven-year-old kid, so there is no need to think so much.

Seeing Zhong Qinghan's blushing face, Zhong Qingran couldn't laugh at him anymore, lest he hide behind him in embarrassment for a while: "Go, go home, I also want to see what your third sister-in-law can do with these seafood." Sample."

When Zhong Qingran and his party arrived at Fucun, the sun had already begun to set, and the sunset reflected half of the sky in red.If there are literati here, they may have a sense of elegance, and write a poem based on the beautiful scenery.It's a pity that the villagers are all busy with their own work, and few of them have time to enjoy the scenery. At most, they just take a look when they look up. Afterwards, they still put all their minds on the work at hand.They have to add bricks and tiles to their future home, and they need to see the scenery. They will have more time in the future, so they don't need it now.

Zhong Qingran jumped off the shaft of the car, and led Zhong Qinghan towards his tent.

Tonight, the Zhong family will host a banquet for everyone in Fucun. At this hour, everyone has already started making preparations.The head chef is Zhong Zhengli. He is capable of being a chef himself, and there is nothing difficult for him with just a dozen banquets.

There was no one in the tent, so Zhong Qingran asked Tong Shi, and when he learned that Jian Mingyu was slaughtering prey by the river, he sent someone to carry two barrels of seafood to the river.

"Mingyu, you leave the prey to others to clean up, come and help me deal with these seafood." Zhong Qingran saw Jian Mingyu at a glance, walked quickly behind him, and motioned for someone to put the bucket by the river.

As soon as Jian Mingyu turned around, he was confronted with a bucket of fish that he didn't name at all.Fortunately, Zhong Qingran learned the lesson of being frightened by Zhong Qinghan before, and what appeared in front of Jian Mingyu was a relatively normal sea fish. Apart from being a little surprised, Jian Mingyu was not frightened at all.

"These are seafood?" Fucun is not far from the sea, and these are things he has never seen before, Jian Mingyu can understand after a little thought.

"Well. These are sea fish, as well as shrimps and crabs, in another bucket. Mingyu, let me tell you in advance that there is a fish in that bucket that is more scary. Be prepared and don't be scared. "Zhong Qingran took the vaccination in advance.

Those who were picking vegetables and handling prey by the river all listened with pricked ears, and when they knew that they had seafood to eat at night, they all gathered around to watch.Most of the people who came here from Hewan Village had never even tasted dried seafood, let alone fresh seafood. No one, including the Zhong family, had the honor to taste it.

They were curious. After sailing for so many days at sea, they had no chance to experience sea fishing. After all, they were not traveling, but running for their lives. How could they stop the boat and waste time for a little appetite?

At first, those were fine. Although the villagers had never seen them before, they could at least recognize them as fish at a glance, and they were not much different from the fish they usually eat. When Jian Mingyu poured out the second bucket of seafood, the surrounding villagers Can't help but gasp, is that really a fish?This thing is too scary!

Jian Mingyu's eyes darkened for a moment, and then, as if nothing had happened, he picked up a fish and began to scrape the scales to remove the internal organs.As for the biggest guy, he was ruthlessly abandoned by him for the time being.

"Is this really edible?" Someone expressed doubts.

"You can eat it, but you don't have to force it. If no one touches the chopsticks at any table, I'll ask someone to take them away." Zhong Qingran doesn't like to force people.Just like bugs, except for a few kinds, he can't eat them, even if he knows they taste good, it's just that he can't pass the level in his heart, and it makes him sick when he thinks about it.

After the experience, the onlookers dispersed quickly. They had to be busy with their own affairs, but they didn't have so much time to watch the excitement.

Zhong Qingran sat on the shore, watching the sky for a while, and Jian Mingyu neatly dissecting the fish for a while, feeling that he was really bored.He shook hands lightly, it didn't hurt as much as before, but he couldn't if he wanted to ignore the pain.Judging from this level, I can start writing almost tomorrow morning, and then I don't have to rack my brains to find work for myself like today.

"Mingyu, did Minglei come back this afternoon? Dianbai went out again?" Zhong Qingran couldn't sit comfortably, got up and paced around Jian Mingyu.

"Minglei hasn't returned yet, so I ran to look for it by myself." Jian Mingyu admired this very much. He was frightened only at noon, and within an hour, he became alive again, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

A trace of worry flashed in Zhong Qingran's eyes, he didn't know where Minglei had gone, and it would take him a whole day, now he even followed up with him, so don't be fooled.Thinking of this, Zhong Qingran shook his head, throwing such an unreliable thought out of his mind.Both eagles are very smart, and the chance of them being unlucky at the same time is negligibly low.

People left by the river one after another, until it was getting dark, only Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu were left.

"Okay, let's go." Jian Mingyu easily picked up two barrels of processed seafood, and beckoned Zhong Qingran, who was playing with kicking stones, to follow.

"Come here." Zhong Qingran regained his spirits all of a sudden. This evening, he was lucky. Not only could he eat delicious seafood, but he could also eat several kinds of game that are rarely seen in normal times. When he thought of a lot of delicacies waiting for him in front of him Zhong Qingran swallowed unconsciously, especially when approaching the village.Meat aroma can be more attractive than fish aroma.Look, there is a circle of children around it, which shows how attractive it is.

Zhong Zhengli was already busy with work, so he came over to help.Seeing that the night was about to fall, in order to save time, Jian Mingyu steamed the shrimps and crabs and half a grouper, and put them directly in the cage, letting people watch the fire.The rest of the salmon and cod were the same as Zhong Zhengli was in charge of alone. The grouper and salmon were braised in soy sauce, and the cod was pan-fried.

Both of them have never cooked fresh seafood before, so it is quite normal that the heat is not in place. However, for the experienced gluttons, they may be able to detect it immediately with their sensitive tongues. Most people here may not even be able to eat meat once in ten and a half months, who cares about these?For them, meat is enough, whether it is cooked or not?

After the addition of seafood, the area around the stove is even more fragrant. This time it is different from before. Before, the adults rushed to finish the work at hand while there was still a little light. Now, everyone is waiting for the meal, and almost everyone Everyone turned their eyes to the stove.

"Qingzhu, Qingshu, where did you two go this afternoon? I couldn't find you. I was thinking of pulling you to go fishing. Look, you missed it!" Seeing the two good brothers, Zhong Qingran smiled .

"It's not Qingshu, Fei dragged me around the village, and we even went to the beach. Here, this is what we gained all afternoon." Zhong Qingzhu pointed to the back basket placed on the side of the tent, slightly Said with annoyance.

"What did you pick up?" Zhong Qingran looked curious.

"There is everything, as long as there are things on the beach, no matter whether you recognize them or not, Qingshu and I will pick them up." Zhong Qingshu said a little guilty, in fact, he didn't recognize any of them, but he knew they were shrimp, crab and shells , Can eat, he really does not know.

"Your idea?"

Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and denied: "Qing Shu thought about it. He said that you might be able to tell whether they are allowed to be imported. We two, you know, can't help you much, but it's okay to do this."

The smile on Zhong Qingran's mouth was even bigger, how could his two good brothers be useless?Zhong Qingzhu has a sharp mouth and sharp eyes, and Zhong Qingshu is familiar with the law. These are all very useful skills. When the scale of Fucun is larger, they will be able to show their strengths.

The three of them hadn't spoken a few words before Mr. Zhong announced the opening of the table. Everyone found a seat and waited for the food to be served.

The temperature here in Fucun is low, and everyone eats in the open air, so the meals are all served together, which is why the villagers all set their sights on the stove.

There is nothing particular about the seats this time, and the villagers all sit with people they know well.

Mutton, pork, roe deer meat, and seafood. Plates of dishes exuding the fragrance of meat are in front of them, and the villagers are reluctant to take their eyes off.Such a sumptuous meal made everyone laugh from ear to ear, especially the children, who ate very happily.

This was exactly the effect Zhong Qingran wanted to achieve.Suddenly leaving their homeland and taking root in a strange and distant place, the anxiety in everyone's hearts reached the highest at this time. He just wanted them to see their yearning for a better life in the future from this banquet.

The grouper that Zhong Qingran caught was described as terrifying in his lifetime, and when he was on the dinner table, as long as he didn't look at its head, it was not much different from other sea fish.People who haven't seen its true face can pick it up and eat it without any psychological barriers. After eating, they still don't forget to praise: it tastes good!

This caused those villagers who were lucky enough to meet each other to feel a little ready to move, but when they thought of its original appearance, most of them stopped thinking about it. Only one or two fierce men stuffed a piece into their mouths with the posture of going to the battlefield. , who would have thought that the meat is extremely fresh and tender, and it has the unique rich aroma of sea fish. After eating it, it is not enough to satisfy the appetite.

But who cares?There are only so many meat dishes, and they are all rare things to see. If you don’t enjoy it this time, you don’t know when you will have the next time.

Everyone devoured the food for a while, and the food bottomed out at an extremely fast speed.

"Ow!"

The faint roar of wolves in the distance stifled the cheerful atmosphere.

"Hurry up and go to bed early tonight. You also heard the howling of wolves just now. This place is not so safe. Tomorrow, a part of the wall will be allocated from the builders of the mud house. Safety is the most important thing." Mr. Zhong said, falling Let the atmosphere come alive again.

Everyone already ate about the same, but stimulated by howling wolves, they ate faster, but after a while, there were only scraps left on the table.Mrs. Tong distributed some of the remaining food to each family, and the recipients left with smiles on their faces.Although these dishes are leftovers, they are better than homemade ones. At any rate, they are stained with a lot of oil and smell of meat. Eating them with rice can improve your appetite.

After leaving two people to watch the night, the villagers soon fell asleep.

The tent where Zhong Qingran was staying was brightly lit, and the whole family was discussing the future construction and management of Fu Village.As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined, can Fucun grow continuously, instead of being confined to a small village all the time.

You know, Hanhai Prefecture is very big. If the third prince is right, there are at least hundreds of settlements in such a large area. If the situation is more optimistic, there may even be city-states.

If Fu Village is not built well, someone may beat him to the front of his house one day, lose to the enemy, and be taken captive. The end is already predictable, and it will definitely not be so wonderful.

For the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is estimated that this is the people of the outside world, and the level of brutality will only be more than that.Zhong Qingran was not afraid to use the most sinister intentions to hide them, he came all the way here, not to suffer, the best policy is to take countermeasures in advance.

"Qing Ran, what do you think?" Mr. Zhong is the most senior here, so he speaks first so as not to be cold.

"Grandpa, you will be the head of the clan, and re-register the clan members. I will take over the village head myself. If I am away for a long time, grandpa will take this position temporarily." Zhong Qingran made a decision directly, without any hesitation. There is no room for negotiation.It is impossible for him to hand over the power to other people. Mr. Zhong is relieved, but he is old, and Zhong Qingran doesn't want him to work too hard, so he can only do it by himself.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were normal, Zhong Qingran continued, "Father, you and your second and fourth uncles are in charge of taking people to reclaim the wasteland. Tentatively set 150 three acres, one for each person, and give you 30 people. How many days will it take to complete?"

After the three brothers discussed it, Zhong Zhengren said: "The soil here is soft and there are few rocks. It is not difficult to reclaim wasteland, but there are a little less manpower. Including us, there are only 33 people and two cows in total. We need to reclaim land." It will take about half a month for 150 three acres of land, and this is just to turn over the land, and it will only take more time to cultivate intensively."

"That's no problem, Dad, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, you know better than me when it comes to farming, when to raise seedlings and when to sow seeds, the three of you discuss it, you can learn from grandpa and other old people in the village, after all, this is not Hewan Village , The climate of the two places is very different, one more person to discuss may save some detours." Zhong Qingran didn't know much about farming, so he didn't point fingers at it.

The three Zhong Zhengren brothers solemnly agreed.

"Third uncle, you open a restaurant, which is mainly responsible for the meals of the boatmen and craftsmen." Zhong Qingran turned his attention to Zhong Zhengli.

"Restaurant? Qingran, you mean to collect money?" Zhong Zhengli was a little surprised. There are only 150 people in Fucun Village. Can the restaurant be opened?

"Starting from tomorrow, everything will be as usual. That is to say, if you find someone to build the wall, you have to pay their wages. This fee will be paid from the company, and my grandfather and I will cover it for the time being. Of course, the wages will not be much. After all, this is the whole village. Everyone benefits. Land reclamation is the same, wages are paid, one acre per person is considered free, and then privately reclaimed, two coins per mu, and the average person owns more than five mu of land, one or two per mu, more than ten mu Then two taels per mu, and each household with a total of more than one hundred mu will be expropriated five taels per mu. All fields must be deeded, and the deed tax is one tael and thirty cash. If you find a craftsman to do work, you also need to pay money, regardless of the public It’s still private. In a word, all payments are no longer free. Of course, now that the situation is special, I will price all kinds of expenses uniformly. There will be a limit to prevent people from hoarding a large amount of supplies." Zhong Qingran talked a lot in one go, feeling a little thirsty, so a cup of hot tea was delivered to him.Zhong Qingran knew that it was Jian Mingyu, his heart warmed up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Qing Ran, what you said can work?" Mr. Zhong's eyes are full of worry. It is not a small amount to ask their family to pay for it. If you have money but can't buy anything, it will be terrible. It's really here. At that time, can't we mess up?

"Grandpa, it's all right, I can't guarantee anything else, at least I can take care of the food, so there won't be any trouble." Zhong Qingran would say that, since he had a plan in mind, he didn't dare to play around with this matter casually.

"Then do as you said. Grandpa can't help you in this matter, so you should pay attention to yourself."

"Yeah." Zhong Qingran readily agreed, then turned to Jian Mingyu and said, "Mingyu is in charge of building the village's armed forces, and I'll give you ten people, but right now there's a serious shortage of labor, training in the morning, and work in the afternoon."
