Chapter 403 The Golden Autumn Harvest

How long has it been since?

Those few princes are still ready to move, the sixth son is a prince, and he doesn't like to deal with government affairs. If he encounters any major issues, Xiaoqing will write to him to complain, or send him some books, which will make him worry to death.

He was originally here to take care of his body, and Tie Qing didn't let him worry about it. As a result, after reading the scriptures for a few days, he felt a little uncomfortable. It was actually a psychological problem.

But who let the old prince not understand?

Seeing Tie Qing came back, she complained: "I even brought my husband and the child up the mountain, so you don't have to worry about them making a mistake."

For the past half month, he went to see Xi Fulang and the child when he had nothing to do.

But Xi Fulang likes to say, the child is in the hands of Lao Xiao and his wife, and the child is still young, when he is "sleeping and growing an inch", so many times he went to see him, and the child was always sleeping.

He was also a little bored in the hot weather, and there was no one to play with him.

If Brother Xiaoshan was here, at least the two of them could play together... He himself realized later, how did he degenerate to the point of playing with children of how old?

But when he saw Brother Xiaoshan, he immediately smiled: "Have you thought about Grandpa Wang?"

"Think about it, Grandpa Wang, bring something delicious." Brother Xiaoshan did remember the old man, and brought him a wild pheasant, intending to treat him to a meal.

Tie Qing also smiled and said: "I just want to make you a pumpkin roast chicken, I think the biggest little pumpkin will do!"

"Then hurry up!" The old prince said happily, "Once you run away, I will lose my mind."

Tie Qing personally made a braised pheasant with pumpkin, which finally made the old prince smile and no longer angry.

The past few days have been too hot. After a heavy rain, the temperature suddenly dropped. You even have to cover yourself with a cloth sheet when you sleep at night, otherwise it will be cold.

"Is this cooling down?" When I wake up in the morning, there is also a slight chill, so I eat millet porridge and tofu brain in the morning. This is a hot breakfast. Although some people will sweat after eating, it is still It's comfortable. Some people want to cool down. At this time, they eat Liangpier early in the morning, and also eat braised noodles with water noodles at noon. As a result, they have a stomachache at night. Start drinking gruel to warm your stomach.

You can’t be sick at this time, because the autumn harvest is about to start again. If you are sick, who will do the work in the autumn fields?

Tie Qing went to the field and found a field that was reclaimed. It was full of corn, but it was the kind of sticky corn that was specially found. It happened to be filling at this time, so he quickly broke off the corn sticks and put them in the big pot to cook When it's ripe, the whole family sent out an ear and gnawed on the tender corn sticks.

Even Brother Xiaoshan likes this move, he can hold a corn cob and eat it, such a tender corn cob is boiled and blooming, soft, glutinous, sweet and full.

"Isn't it too wasteful to eat like this?" The old prince was very contradictory as he gnawed happily on the ungrown crops.

"This is the sticky corn planted in the wasteland in the west. The first three years are tax-free, and within the next five years, it is only half of the tax. In the first two years, soybeans and peanuts are planted for the sake of Break through the moisture in the wasteland, plant a crop of sticky corn this year, plant garlic and cabbage next year, and normal corn the year after that, and then plant some other ones every other year, and raise them for more than ten or twenty years. The field will be mature." Tie Qing picked up another corn for him and put it on the dinner plate: "So you can eat it, it's no big deal, our family reclaimed the land by ourselves, and we can eat the food we grow ourselves! It's good .”

The old prince no longer felt guilty.

Tie Qing felt that the old man was contradictory.

The old man is really worried about the country and the people, but he doesn't seem to be worried enough.

Not much to say, the things in the field are growing one after another, Tie Qing deliberately killed a half-grown wild boar raised by himself, and stewed a big pot for a good harvest.

"Big Harvest? That's a good name!" The old prince laughed a lot when he heard the name of this dish.

The so-called big harvest, there are wild boar ribs, fresh corn segments, beans and newly dug potatoes, grown pumpkins, chopped into pieces.

With so many dishes, Tie Qing intentionally filled the cauldron at home to the brim.

Well, when it comes to serving food, there is only one dish in their house at the moment, which is the big harvest, served in a big basin, which is really the sturdy style of the Northeast farmers, and there are also corn pancakes steamed with corn pulp.

The ones made at this time are really fresh corn berries, steamed, tender, soft and glutinous, with a strong and fragrant taste of corn.

Paired with this big harvest, not to mention how delicious it is.

After eating, the old prince sighed: "If all the farmers in the world live like this, it will really be a peaceful and prosperous world."

"It's fine now!" Tie Qing felt that the old prince probably came to the late stage of the second illness, so worried about the country and the people, it shouldn't be something he did for a prince with a different surname. The old prince has gray hair, so he doesn't say anything. At such an age, even if he wants to rebel, he has no strength: "How did you live in the previous dynasty? It's much better now, Look, everyone has food, drink, and fields to plant, which was not the case in the previous meeting."

Over the years, Tie Qing has heard many old people say that during the previous dynasty, not to mention numerous levies and miscellaneous taxes, officials of all ranks also patronized money, and because Shulin County was in the border, and it was a poor corner, there was nothing wrong with it. People come, but it is said that the Fucheng is very lively, and the magistrate is also replaced every now and then. His political achievements are not outstanding, and the environment is not stable. Several old people said that at that time, it would be nice to be alive!

Now, life is obviously different.

"If it wasn't for the court's resettlement of refugees, I wouldn't be able to come here. To be honest, the current court is much stronger than the previous court." Tie Qing lives in the present, so he thinks the current court is good.

There are no corrupt officials oppressing him, and no one can't live anymore.

However, he didn't have a good impression of the princes. He felt that the emperor was good at everything, but he was not very good at raising children.

He didn't say that.

"How do you feel about life now?" the old prince asked him.

"Of course, this is a new era and a new atmosphere." Tie Qing said: "The autumn harvest will be in a few days, you can take a look at the appearance of the autumn harvest, wait until the grain is harvested, before it snows, you can go back, I think you There are a lot of things to do in Beijing, so it’s pretty good to be here for a few months.”

"Yeah, there is always something going on in the capital. My palace has a lot of things to do. It's busy. I've had a good time here these few months." The old prince sighed, "But my condition is really serious. Great relief."

"Keep taking medicine. In the future, there are some things that you should worry about, and some things that don't need to be so serious. You are an elderly person who is not in good health, shouldn't you live a good life?" Tie Qing advised him : "If you lose your life, even if you are powerful, what's the use of it?"

The old prince thought about it, isn't it.

No matter how good he is at work, if he dies, everything else will be for nothing.

As the temperature drops, it's autumn again. During the harvest season, everyone is busy working in the fields, and Tie Qing's corn thresher has appeared again.

Autumn is a busy time, and the things collected from the field are piled up at home.

While he was busy, the old prince took his people and slipped into the field to watch Tieqing and the others harvest the corn.

Poor him, he didn't know how thick Tie Qing's face was. He ordered the guards who came with the old prince to lead him a carriage. They didn't know how to break corn sticks, but they followed the cart along the edge of the field. After the cart was full, , take it home.

Okay, out of thirty or fifty young men, twenty are left to protect the old prince, and the rest are given to Tie Qing to work on a voluntary basis.

At the end of the day, when the old prince was having dinner with Tie Qing, he still pointed at him and said with a smile: "You really took advantage of it, the old man's subordinates gave you a day's work for nothing."

"I can't help it. Didn't you find out? People from the Dagongzi's Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Zhenbeihou Mansion have all started to move. I have not only my own field here, but also my old man's Ganzi's house, the big man's house, etc. My uncle’s family and my eldest brother’s husband, there are a lot of land here, and everyone is working in the fields. At this time of autumn, we must rush to harvest. You don’t know, if you don’t rush to harvest at this time, once it rains, what? It's too late."

The Tie Qing envoy is unceremonious, what is it to break the corn?She shoveled Chinese cabbage in the back, and asked them to go to work in the field. She also saved some cabbage from Aunt Xiao's house for the old prince to take back to Beijing: "Old relative, I don't have anything to give you here, I see They all like to eat this Chinese cabbage, and there is probably a special place, so I prepared some for you, and take it home to eat."

This old relative is a prince with a different surname.

Aunt Xiao couldn't afford anything else. According to Shopkeeper Tian, ​​Chinese cabbage was sold well in Jingzhong. She thought it was probably delicious, so she prepared a cart for the old prince.

When the gift was given, it was also her third son-in-law's immediate boss.

"I'm afraid you won't like it..." Aunt Xiao was a little restrained. I heard that the prince is only a little younger than the emperor, and this title is the biggest.

She was a little uncertain, if she was rejected by others, it would be bad.

"Who said that? This Chinese cabbage is famous in Beijing. It's a good thing." Of course, the old prince knows this Chinese cabbage. Every time the royal merchant Xue's family will bring some to the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will buy some, only for the palace. The nobles enjoy it.

Tie Qing remembered a dish: "The Chinese cabbage has just been brought back, so I'll show you off. I remember there is a dish called Phnom Penh cabbage."

The reason why Tieqing knows this dish is because before the end of the world, the chefs in their university cafeteria loved to cook this dish. It is said that this dish was because Cixi settled in the northwest border when she traveled westward to Shaanxi. Researched by the master chef, it is an appetizer with five flavors of sour, spicy, salty, pungent, and fresh, with a crispy taste.

The chef in their cafeteria loves to make this dish, because it is not only refreshing and crisp, but also has great performance value.

To make "Phnom Penh Cabbage", you must master the heat, and the effective way to master the heat is to turn the spoon.

After adding an appropriate amount of vegetable oil to the frying spoon, sit on the high heat and smooth it evenly; put the pepper and ginger that have been deseeded and cut into sections into the pot, and the aroma will burst out, and immediately put in the "domino slice" cabbage. Spoon, put it back on the fire for a little while, and turn the spoon again.

Do this several times, and when you see that the cabbage is slightly yellow, add vinegar, turn over the spoon, then add soy sauce, salt and a little sugar, and turn over the spoon again.

After turning over the spoon, add the thickened gorgon, and finally turn over the spoon through the technique of "Hua Da Simen", take out the spoon and put it on a plate, so that it is best to see the wide and narrow golden edges of leek leaves around the vegetables.

Tie Qing's culinary skills are not good, not as good as a chef who has been in the field for many years, but he has supernatural powers, but he can also master the heat well. After a meal, everyone is dazzled, even the shopkeeper Tian who came to pull Chinese cabbage He was dumbfounded: "I didn't expect Tie Qing to do this!"

"This is also what I learned from an old cook. He has been cooking big pots for people all his life. He has researched such a quick-fried side dish called Phnom Penh Cabbage. It depends on the heat. Ordinary people can't master it well. I also practiced it. It will take a long time." Tie Qing smiled vigorously: "Come, try my handicraft, it's not easy, when I'm alone, I occasionally fry it to eat something new."

Now, it's obvious that someone in the family is cooking, so he won't cook easily.

"Delicious!" Brother Xiao actually liked it very much.

"I'll often fry it for you in the future." Tie Qing ate a few mouthfuls, and it was really delicious.

In addition to Phnom Penh cabbage, boiled fish was also served. The weather is a bit cold at this time, so everyone eat some boiled fish to drive away the cold.

In addition, the oil of boiled fish can be put into the frying pan when the fish is stewed next time, even the five-spice powder and thirteen spices are not needed.

The autumn harvest is very busy, but after the busyness, there is joy. After all, is it a bumper harvest?

Tie Qing bought a lot of grain again this time, and then sold it to Northeast Daying at almost a par price.

The old prince knew about this, but he didn't understand it very well: "The price of your grain is a little higher, but the price you sell is cheap enough?"

Who does business, who doesn't want to make more money?

Not to mention Tie Qing, who keeps his family on the ground, he is also the brother-in-law of General Xiao Wei. For such a person, if he doesn't play tricks on food, it is considered kind, and he doesn't make money?

"I opened this grain store to give my elder brother a convenience. When there was no grain, I almost lost my entire family to raise grain for him. Those grain merchants are black-hearted. How can there be no grain in the border? Are you going to starve to death 30 troops?" Tie Qing became angry when he mentioned the events of the year: "The important affairs of the country are only the priests and the soldiers. Even I, a farmer, know the truth. Don't the ministers above know it? It's nothing more than It's nothing to do with themselves, but they don't want to think about it. If there is no food for the 30 army, how can they have the strength to guard this great river and mountain? I really don't know what they have in their minds! I Grain shops usually don’t make much money, but with a grain shop, you can have the skills of buying and selling. My uncle is short of food, so I can sell it to him here, and even credit is no problem. Don't panic."
