It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Class B, Academy School, today happened to be Master Qin's class, who has always been strict. The students who usually doze off and gossip all cheer up, with books in their hands, and their faces are full of seriousness, fearing that they will be caught. The master, who is said to have eagle eyes, was caught in the wrong place and was detained and demerited after class.

Although Master Qin said that the arithmetic class he taught was not included in the imperial examinations, it was included in the assessment scope of the academy's quarterly and annual examinations. Although this aroused dissatisfaction among some students who were dedicated to the imperial examinations, this type of students was in the Dongcang Academy is not a climate.After all, at the beginning of Dongcang Academy’s establishment, it was clear that it did not take the Four Books and Five Classics as its teaching content. The learning of Cang Academy is miscellaneous learning.

Near the end of get out of class, a mouth-watering sour and fresh fragrance wafted indistinctly, pulling the students who were addicted to studying out of the collection of classics and history, and thrown them into the sea of ​​incense.Even in Mr. Qin's class, the students were faintly restless, because there was a gossip spreading among the students this morning, someone saw Chef Xie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appear in the back kitchen of the cafeteria!

one month!Chef Xie, who can be called the treasure of Dongcang, disappeared for a whole month.At the beginning, the students who ate and drank happily did not feel any difference in life from before, but gradually, the cafeteria with new designs every now and then remained the same, and no one was lucky enough to grab the one made by Chef Xie. Food, the steps of students rushing to the cafeteria after class are much more leisurely, and there is no cafeteria where Chef Xie sits in charge, the chefs' craftsmanship seems to have dropped a little, and it seems that Chef Xie's departure also took away the magic of food!

Sitting at the head of the class, Qin Sui looked around the classroom and could clearly see the students' petty movements and uninterested expressions. He knocked on the table with a ruler, coughed, and said to the students who had regained their composure: "I heard that Mr. Xie returned to the academy today. I think all of you here are not focused on the books at this time, but flew to the cafeteria. Then, Xue Sheng stays, and the rest of the class can look for food after class today."

The students here probably never thought that Mr. Qin, who has always been unsmiling, has such an amiable and casual side. The quiet classroom was frozen for a moment, and when the students reacted, it was filled with laughter and laughter. The distance between teachers and students They seem to be getting closer.The students got up and saluted the master, and then walked towards the cafeteria one by one with cheerful steps.

On the way, Xue Ba walked with another classmate. Although this classmate is not as good as Han Ning and Xue Sheng, his academic performance is also at the forefront of the second grade of the academy, but it may be that he has not been as good as Xue Sheng in his studies. In addition, Xue Sheng has a more independent personality, and he is not as rich as Han Ning, so he has never dealt with Xue Sheng.

At this moment, the classmate's tone was contemptuous, and there was a sense of yin and yang in the words, "Master Qin really likes that Xue Sheng, and always leaves him alone to tutor after class. This Xue Sheng seems to be quite aloof and withdrawn." , I didn’t expect that he would please Master in private. It’s a pity that no matter how flattering he is, Master Qin can’t help him in the imperial examination.”

Han Ning and the others, who happened to be walking behind them, saw that he had arranged to slander Mrs. Qin and Xue Sheng in such a way, and were about to reprimand them, when Xue Ba suddenly interrupted the classmate who was speculating wildly, "Brother Ji That's wrong! Mr. Qin cherished Xue Sheng's talents only because Xue Sheng was talented in the study of calendar and calculation. Most of the time, he kept him after class just to let him help with some classroom chores. You and me They are all in the front seat and can see clearly, why do you want to slander your master and classmates like this?"

Fu Yu and Han Ning looked at each other, quite surprised, this student surnamed Ji choked when he was refuted by Xue Sheng, who had been watching him for a long time and didn't deal with Xue Sheng. Until Xue Ba, who always believed that it was "the same country", would speak for the "strong enemy", but he couldn't refute it for a while.

After waiting for a while, the student surnamed Ji reluctantly said a few words to save face for himself: "I am being arbitrary, but I have no disrespect to Mr. Qin." Xue Ba glanced at him and said nothing before he went down the steps. But at the bottom of his heart, he secretly thought that this person's character was not worthy of being a friend, but originally Xue Ba also met him, and it was only to read his class notes.

Xue Ba: A scheming ghost schoolmaster without emotion.

After the two people in front left, Han Ning and the other four who had accidentally watched the scene where the plastic friendship broke down, spoke out.Touching the tender flesh of his chin, Fu You was amazed, "I didn't expect that although Xue Ba likes to imitate and learn from others, he seems to have a good personality?"

Cai Hua said: "The Xue family's upbringing is pretty good. Although it is a wealthy family, Mr. Xue is determined to train the only son in the family to become a talented man."

Han Ning suddenly said: "If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you will have to queue for a long time."

Only people like Fu Yu who are addicted to gossip realize that gossip can be done at any time, and the most important thing is to enjoy delicious food now!I don't know what delicious food Mr. Xie, who finally returned, gave them.

In Shiqian Pavilion, the gentlemen giving lectures also took their seats one after another. Even Qin Sui, who kept his ears to the outside world and only read the almanac books, noticed that some of his colleagues here today seemed to be in a particularly comfortable mood, and among them the most The obvious one is Qiu Zhi.

The usually unsmiling person was unexpectedly happy at this moment. Qin Sui didn't like to deal with people, so he just buried his doubts in his heart and didn't ask any more questions. When the fragrant soup came, he completely forgot about this strangeness.

Qin Sui found it strange that the noodle soup was not hot, although it was fragrant. When he touched the soup bowl, it was very hot. The servant who helped bring the food box reminded him in a low voice, "Sir, please be careful when eating, don't look at this There is no heat on the surface, but it is very hot underneath."

Qin Sui nodded, and saw that there was a layer of shiny chicken oil floating on the soup. It didn't condense, but showed a flowing feeling of golden paste and fat. Once he flicked it lightly with chopsticks, steaming steam would rise up , followed by a burst of strange fragrance hitting the tip of the nose.This is the soup base that Xie Shi chose the local fat and tender oil chicken in Le County. After the belly was cut open and washed, it was put into a large pot and boiled for a whole morning until the chicken was rotting. Then the impurities were removed and filtered. Into today's golden yellow chicken soup.

Then take a big gourd thick gourd produced in the academic field of the academy, cut into pieces and squeeze it into gourd juice to add it, which not only nourishes the stomach but also enhances the color.Qin Sui was full of surprise, and scooped up the golden-yellow soup base with a spoon, and saw the thinly sliced ​​snow-white fish fillets gently rippling with the golden-yellow water, and the blanched bean sprouts, bamboo fungus, and ham were buried underneath.

Because a lot of seafood was brought back from Changle Saltworks, Xie Shi also put in some dried shrimps and scallops. The dried goods not only doubled in size after being soaked in water, but also looked like fresh ones. They were elastic and fresh when chewed.At the bottom of the noodle soup is the staple food Physalis Rice Noodles, which are fermented and ground from the newly harvested rice that year, hovering in the golden soup bottom like Bailian.

When Qin Sui ate, he directly mixed the rice noodles and side dishes together. As soon as he ate it, the first thing he felt in his mouth was the sourness that stimulated the taste buds, which immediately opened up his appetite. After the sourness, it was hot!In the autumn season, a hot and sweaty hotness rushed directly from his mouth to his head, and Qin Sui felt the heat all at once.

What he didn't know was that in order to replace the authentic spiciness of chili, Xie Shi used a three-pronged approach. He used spicy rice oil made from cornel juice, mustard oil, and Sichuan peppercorns to experiment with various ingredients. Bi, after filtering all kinds of impurities, this spicy taste was prepared. For the ancient people who did not often eat spicy food, this might be a bit too exciting, but the magic is that the spicy taste quickly eased, and finally in In the mouth, it turned into a sweet and spicy taste!

Sour and spicy, sweet after spicy, it can be called the absolute taste that has never been tasted before!After tasting the soup for the first time, Qin Sui began to feast on it. He tasted the fish fillet on the top, which was tender and fragrant. It is said to be the staple food of rice noodles. Because of the traditional method, the taste is very good. The entrance not only has the fragrance of rice, but also smooth and sweet.

After eating a bowl of golden soup and rice noodles, in the autumn season, the teachers and students of the academy had a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads, especially those who asked for spicy food when they were cooking, but they had to Said, this feeling is very cool!

In addition to golden soup rice noodles, in order to take care of teachers and students who can’t eat spicy food, Xie Shi also made other light and delicious flavors such as beef rice noodles and seafood rice noodles, which are also very popular, but the most popular one is golden soup rice noodles. Even Korean Ning can't eat spicy food, but because of its hot and sour taste, he insisted on ordering a golden soup taste. When he ate it, he was so spicy that he drank water, and he didn't want to stop, and the more he ate, the better he was!

Autumn is coming, and news of the war in the Central Plains comes from outside from time to time. These have brought a sense of bleakness and uneasiness to Dongcang Academy in the south, but the return of Xie Shi seems to make the teachers and students return to the daily anticipation of three Going to the original joy of the meal, temporarily wiped away that layer of uneasiness.

Not only the cafeteria has new dishes, but even the Qingli Hall has added steaming Malatang and grilled sausages and other snacks.It is said to be Mala Tang, but in fact the taste is only slightly spicy, similar to oden.However, before the new release, Xie Shi still kept his promise, and specially called Fu Yu and Han Ning to try the dishes and draw the menu. Unexpectedly, when these two people came, they even bought two and got two free, and followed the other two to eat. Drinking friends.Xie Shi didn't mind, and entertained the group of kids with delicious food.

Sure enough, Malatang and Roasted Sausage are two of the must-have food stalls at the gates of elementary, middle and high schools. Even the cold-looking little Han Ning eats it with gusto. Others eat and chat while eating, but Fu Yan Drawing while eating, very busy.

After finishing his work in the cafeteria and feeding a group of hungry and thin students, Xie Shi could finally settle down and welcome the harvest of experimental seedlings in the experimental field.At the end of October and the beginning of November, it is the season when the wind blows the rice flowers and the ears of rice bend the branches.On the ridge of the field, Xie Shi and Han Ji stood side by side, watching the farmers in the field busy harvesting rice.

The experimental field is not big, except for a few acres planted with tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables, the remaining five acres of land were all planted with various hybrid rice plants.There are many rice plants cultivated in experiments, but there are only two types of rice plants that were given high hopes when they were thanked.One is a hybrid of the wild Bantamina No. [-] found in Hainan and several local cultivated rices in Le County, and the other is the wild Bantamia No. [-] collected in Chaoyang County, Guangdong and the local Hybrid type of cultivated rice.

The hybridization of these two kinds of dwarf wild rice and cultivated rice has a high probability of cultivating a high-yielding and stable-yielding early indica dwarf variety. In Lanxing, Huaguo is the first batch of high-yielding, stable-yielding dwarf and high-yielding varieties bred through artificial hybridization——Square Short, its cultivation process is roughly like this.

Xie Shi carefully observed and compared the two types of nearly twenty experimental rice plants, there is indeed a hybrid rice plant, and its plant height is nearly eight inches shorter than ordinary rice plants!And the root system at the bottom is well developed, and it is very vigorous during the rice tillering stage. More importantly, its rice panicles are obviously fuller than those of other control groups.Looking around, it is the lowest branch, half of which is the short stem itself, and half of it is because the ears of rice are too heavy!

Xie Shi has already determined that among the twenty types, only this one experimental rice strain can perform as he expected, and the rest of the experimental rice strains, although some have shown some good traits, are all better than others. Not on his favorite plant.Now, after all the farmers in the field have harvested, they will weigh each of them to see the yield.

In the part of the field where Xie Shi's favorite plants were planted, the farmers talked in low voices while bending over to harvest.

"Why does this rice look so heavy!"

When the farmer next to him heard it, he also echoed: "Is it! I thought I was wrong. The rice in this field feels much fuller than the rice in my family last year."

The other person was the laborer who worked in the experimental field when he first came to thank him. He whispered: "I heard that this is Mr. Xie's own seed. What kind of experiment is he doing?"

"Such a good rice seed, I don't know if Mr. Xie will sell it. It would be great if we can buy it."

"Maybe it's just a matter of attention, there aren't that many rice?"

"Work quickly, the officials are watching, whether it is a high-quality rice seed, don't you know when the yield per mu comes out?"

In half a day, the farmers harvested all the ears of rice, and then started threshing on the spot. It was not until dusk came, when the setting sun shone on the rice, that the harvested ears of rice were all threshed.Xie Shi ordered them to weigh the rice from different experimental fields separately, and then he and Han Ji waited for the subordinates to report the yield per mu.

In order to wait for the results of the experiment, Xie Shi and Han Ji even just ate a few bites of evening food in a hurry. Xie Shi even felt a little tasteless when eating because he was worried about the things in the field. After all, it was a hard experiment for a season, and success or failure depends Here it is!

When Han Ji saw the rice in his bowl, he took a few mouthfuls and comforted him, "If it doesn't work, just try again."

He would not deny Xie Shi's idea and experiment just because of one test result, but Xie Shi was worried that Han Ji would support him so strongly, but the final production results would not live up to his expectations.

Xie Shi put down the bowl and chopsticks and was about to speak when he heard someone coming in a hurry from outside. As soon as the curtain was lifted, it was Han Ji's subordinates. He said excitedly, "My lord, thank you, there is a rice field with a yield of up to Eight stones!"

What is the concept of eight stones per mu?Previously, Han Ji said that except for the fields and the southeast region with rich water and heat, the yield of Shangtian can reach five or six shi per mu, that is, in the intensively cultivated fields, the highest yield per mu can reach [-] kilograms, while the average yield per mu of the whole country in this dynasty is no more than three shi Left and right, even some barren lands only have one or two stones!But Xie Shi planted rice with a yield of eight stones per mu in the field that was not considered a good school!
