Abduct a general to farm

Xue Rouzhi heard that the general's wife was going to make ice cream, so she went to Mo Ran's yard to watch curiously, "However, she can still make ice cream? Isn't this ice cream recipe unique to Jiutian Restaurant?"

Shu Jiutian's Jiutian Restaurant has been opened in the capital for a long time, and every time it releases a food, it is highly praised by people. On a hot day, Xue Rouzhi often asks his servants to go to the restaurant to buy ice cream and eat it back to drive away the heat.

Shu Jiutian simply and rudely named the restaurant after himself. As a result, no one in the capital knew that the ice cream was developed by the restaurant of the third young master of the Shu family.

Xue Rouzhi naturally knew it too, and said with a sigh: "The young master of the Shu family is very powerful and can do business. I like their ice cream and milk tea very much."

May I ask which girl doesn't love eating sweetly? Even someone like the general's mother can't escape the temptation of ice cream and milk tea.

The people around them are trustworthy, Mo Ran neatly rolled up his oversized sleeves, revealing a section of white arm, took some fruits on the spot and asked the servants to squeeze out the juice, and made it according to the method he had done before Ice cream is served in a small cup without a mold. After it is ready, it is taken to freeze.

In fact, what he made was the simplest popsicle. It is definitely not possible to make that kind of soft ice cream.He kept moving his hands, pursed his lips and smiled, and said happily, "Of course I will do it, because I taught Jiutian Restaurant to do it."

Xue Rouzhi really didn't know about this, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be taught by Ranran? The milk tea...?"

"It was also taught by me. I am now friends with the owner of Jiutian Restaurant. If you want to eat, I will make it for you later. The recipe is very simple. Sister Yaya can learn to cook it when she goes back."

The sister Yaya he was talking about was a little older than him, she looked calm and stable, she was Xue Rouzhi's personal maid, she waved her hand and said: "This is Madam's skill, how can I learn it so easily."

Xue Rouzhi also said no, Mo Ranyuan opened his eyes even wider, and smiled embarrassedly, "Then I'll make it up and send it to you every day."

"It's even worse. If you do it every day, you'll get tired. This kid can't help me. Ajiu is protecting his wife. I don't think you need to do it every day. If I want to eat, I'll let someone buy it at Jiutian Restaurant."

Xue Rouzhi glanced at Jiang Jingjiu beside Mo Ran, who was helping Mo Ran.

Jiang Jingjiu received her gaze, and said without changing his face: "Go and call the cook."

He didn't want his wife to suffer, so he could just let someone else do it.

Cuixiu panicked and ran to call for someone. The cook in the mansion has been here for more than 20 years. She is considered an old man in the general's mansion. Mo Ran's skills will not be revealed to her. This is indeed a good idea.

Xue Rouzhi didn't expect it to be Mo Ranjiao's method, and she was more appreciative and satisfied with her while being astonished. As the future mistress of the General's Mansion, some skills can make people more impressive. At least this shows that she can help him in some aspects son.

Of course, Mo Ran is the person his son likes, even if the other party doesn't know anything and is just a vase, in fact Xue Rouzhi won't say anything, as long as the other party has a good character.

After the people came, Mo Ran taught these two ways of eating to the cook. She taught both those who will meet at Jiutian Restaurant and those who can't. There are many ways, including cakes. If someone in the house celebrates a birthday , don’t go to Jiutian Restaurant to buy cakes, the cook can make them herself.

The cook likes to cook. It was the first time she heard about this novel method. She wished she could write it down on a piece of paper, but even though she didn’t write it down on the paper, she remembered it all in her mind. She returned immediately after Mo Ran finished teaching. Kitchen practice went.

On the second day, the cook made all the things Mo Ran taught, and the taste was even better. Mo Ran took a mouthful of white cream with a spoon and ate it. Thumbs up and praised: "Aunt Wang, your cooking is much more delicious than mine, very delicious."

The cake is sweet but not greasy. Aunt Wang, the cook, made a small size. He and Xue Rouzhi ate half of it quickly. Mo Ran found that Ajiu’s mother is quite girlish. She likes many things that young girls like. , she also likes to eat, and there is no sense of disobedience when mixing with a young man like Mo Ran.

Life in Beijing is more leisurely than that in Langhe Village. When Mo Ran was in Langhe Village, he had to look after the two factories in his family, and from time to time, he would go to the restaurant in the town to advise Shu Jiutian. But in Beijing, because Jiang Jingjiu was worried about his Safety, the name of the person next to him is coveted by many of his enemies, so Mo Ran can't leave the mansion easily, and usually only works in the mansion.

It doesn't matter to Mo Ran that he doesn't go out of the house, he doesn't want to go out on a hot day, besides, this kind of life where he eats and sleeps, wakes up and eats, doesn't have to be a social animal and has people to raise him is quite ideal, he doesn't dislike it.

However, after two days like this, Mo Ran pinched his waist and had to admit the fact that he had gained weight!

After only seven days in the capital, he gained four catties!In the past, there was no trace of fat around his waist, which was very flat, but now his waist and abdomen have become white and soft, and the flesh can be squeezed with his fingers.

Mo Ran doesn't care much about body like girls do, he has to be skinny to be considered beautiful, he just thinks that he has lived too decadently and gained weight too fast, after all only pigs can gain several catties a day, he has to give Find something to do yourself!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking of what Ajiu was busy with recently, that is, the drought in Xuzhou City.

Drought cannot be eliminated all at once, and the problem of food supply will not be enough in one go. When a drought is very serious, just like the situation in Xuzhou City, even if it rains, there will be no one year. It is difficult to recover from half a load.

So what if they planted some high-yielding, easy-to-eat plants in the nearby city, harvested the fruits after they matured, and provided them to the people of Xuzhou City?

"The lady is saying that sweet potatoes and potatoes are planted in large quantities? Now?"

Not to mention whether it will be too late to plant at this time, what are sweet potatoes and potatoes, Jiang Jingjiu has never heard of these two crops.

Mo Ran is a major in agronomy in modern times. He naturally knows what crops have high yields, and he also knows how to cook them to increase yields.

"Yes, if we grow sweet potatoes and potatoes now, we can solve the problem of food shortage. These two crops have a high yield. After the harvest, the people in Xuzhou City will not have to worry about food. The growth cycle of sweet potatoes is less than four months. Potatoes It only takes two months, which is not fast in terms of time, but the advantage lies in the large quantity, and the sweet potato has a certain drought resistance, and the sweet potato leaves can also be eaten."

The ancient agricultural technology will not be very developed, but he is confident to double their output, after all, his knowledge is not for nothing.

"My lady, it would be really good if it was grown out, but I don't know what sweet potatoes and potatoes are." Jiang Jingjiu said helplessly.

After he reminded Mo Ran, he realized that he did not see these two kinds in Yuan Xia Dynasty, but——

"In the past, there were no peppers. Maybe it's just that people didn't know them or they didn't plant them for some reason. You can find pepper trees, and you must also have sweet potatoes and potatoes. I will tell their characteristics. You write them down and let your people find them. You can look for them from small vendors selling rapeseed and vegetables." Mo Ran was not discouraged.

Jiang Jingjiu nodded, "Okay, I will send someone to look for it, thank you lady."

Even if the Yuan Xia Dynasty really didn't have it, the people of the Western Regions have a lot of weird things in their hands, and you might find them if you look for them.

Mo Ran laughed and said, "Don't thank me, it's very cool."

Jiang Jingjiu also smiled, "It's my fault."

"By the way, I suddenly thought of two plants that can be harvested in a few days."

Mo Ran suddenly became excited, with joy in his eyes, "Send bean sprouts and garlic yellow!"

Jiang Jingjiu asked with an expression on his face, and Mo Ran said: "Bean sprouts can be cultivated without soil, that is, prepare a lot of containers, anything can be used, and then sprinkle the mung beans that have been soaked in warm water overnight in an even layer, and then cover them with a layer of green beans. Layer towels and shading things, as long as you water the towel regularly to ensure moisture, bean sprouts will grow in a few days.

The same is true for garlic yellow, but it takes about 20 days to grow garlic yellow, and it needs to be dried in the sun before it can be eaten after harvesting.But these two are very useful for emergency food shortages. People in Xuzhou City can grow their own self-sufficiency, so they only need to provide them with drinking water. "

It was the first time Jiang Jingjiu heard the technical term of soilless cultivation. The literal meaning was easy to understand. His heart skipped a beat, and he realized that his wife seemed to know a lot of things that he and even the people of the Yuan and Xia Dynasties did not know. Where did he come from? knew?

Mo Ran didn't know the change in his thoughts, and looked at him as if asking for credit. If he could solve the food problem in Xuzhou City, then he would solve some of Jiang Jingjiu's troubles, and the other party would not have to worry about it all day.

Jiang Jingjiu restrained his mind and said seriously: "I will let the prince organize the victims to grow the bean sprouts and garlic you mentioned."

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are handled by his own people.

He looked at Mo Ran's smiling face and thought, no matter what secrets his wife has, he is his lucky star.

On the same day, Jiang Jingjiu wrote to the prince to explain Mo Ranti's planting method, and sent people to the farmers' homes to buy a large number of mung beans, soybeans, garlic, etc., and transported more than a dozen trucks to Xuzhou City. Teaching the victims to grow bean sprouts, as Mo Ran said, the bean sprouts of mung beans and soybeans grew in just five days!

The people in Xuzhou City wept with joy. They finally had fresh vegetables to eat, and they all thanked the prince in their hearts. Starved to death, a group of ordinary people knelt down at the gate of the mansion where the prince lived, expressing their gratitude.

Looking at the skinny, tearful but happy victims, the prince suddenly understood the reason why Jiang Jingjiu asked him to come here for disaster relief. It is true that successful disaster relief can win the emperor's praise and favor, and strengthen his position as prince , more popular.

But what he needs most is to experience the hardships of life. All the people in the world are the subjects of the emperor. Only by knowing the public opinion can he win the hearts of the people and become a wise king.

He was in a disaster-stricken place and was as short of food and clothing as the victims, but because of this, he was loved by the people.
