[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Jia Min naturally knew that it was sent by Xia Anran in the name of Xia Anran. If she knew Xia Anran, it was because of his good craftsmanship that the Lin family had eaten a lot of snacks made by Xia Anran intermittently over the years. Son, the taste is good, but it didn't matter when he was a child, but now that he's older, he's going to take the scientific examination route. In the big world where the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, he can only say that these are made by Xia Mu.

In terms of convention, in fact, Lin Daiyu shouldn't eat the food made by Xia Anran. This child is not healthy, especially weak in stomach and intestines. He sent a lot of warming and nourishing prescriptions, which are delicious and warming. From snacks to growing up, now he doesn’t eat it because Xia Anran grows up. It’s also hypocritical .

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were just this girl, and when they saw that she rarely liked her, they pretended to be a fool and went over. Anyway, they said it was sent by the student's mother, so as long as they didn't say it, it wouldn't hurt Daiyu's reputation.

And Jia Min still has some guesses.

The master of her family took in an apprentice unexpectedly, this young gentleman of the Xia family is indeed talented and intelligent, he passed the child birth examination after only one or two years of enlightenment, I heard that this year he will go to the academy examination, and if he passes the academician, he will be a scholar .

His family background is average...

There are thoughts in Jia Min's heart like a shadow.

But Lin Ruhai didn't say it clearly, and she also pretended to be stupid.

Jia Min is a girl from the Duke's Mansion. She was born very well, and her birth date is also very good. When she was young and not engaged, there were rumors that she wanted to marry a certain prince. Who knew that his father was outside, and the rumors became more and more serious. When the bottom line was drawn, a list came to catch the son-in-law, and bound Tan Hualang, who was still unmarried at that time because he kept his filial piety. At that time, her father didn't want to participate in the affairs of the royal family and pushed his daughter into the quagmire. Now Jia Min is also the same. Same.

Several letters came from my mother's house, saying how clever her second sister-in-law's Baoyu was, and that the old lady missed her granddaughter and asked her to send her granddaughter to the old man to see.

It doesn't mean she doesn't understand.

She twisted a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it in small bites while thinking about things about her daughter and her mother's family.

The sweetness in the mouth can't hide the bitterness at the root of the tongue.

And Xia Anran naturally doesn't know what his good teacher's wife is thinking, in fact, at this moment, he is having a headache.

"Today we want to change the style of the imperial examination."

Lin Ruhai looked at his homework and said, "Abolish stereotypes and choose theory instead."

Xia Anran was stunned, and he stared slightly, "Strategy theory?"

"Yes," Lin Ruhai put down his homework, picked up a pen and revised a few places, and said with a smile, "Before I became a teacher, I was worried about your stereotyped writing."

He paused, "Ascension to the throne now is the time to make great efforts to govern. It seems that he wants to recruit talented people."

Master, do your colleagues know that you imply that they are all incompetent people?

Xia Anran looked at this gentlemanly teacher with a gentle smile and a vicious tongue, and she couldn't hold back, she shrank back.

The reason why Lin Ruhai reacted so violently was precisely because of the difference between this policy theory and stereotyped writing.

To give an inappropriate example, stereotyped writing is a format, and the essence has already been drawn for you, you just need to fill it in with as beautiful words as possible.

The policy theory is an argumentative essay. You are given an argument, and you have to use brief and precise vocabulary to surround this argument and express your meaning to the examiner.

In fact, there is no conclusion as to which of the two is higher, because the imperial examinations were originally based on policy theory, and it was turned into stereotyped theory in the Ming Dynasty, and then turned into policy theory in the late Qing Dynasty.

Is stereotyped writing bad?

Not necessarily, during the stereotype test period, the dynasty may not have fallen.

Is the theory good?

There is no definite number. There is nothing to say about the policies and theories of several sessions during the Qing Dynasty. It's just that the country is exhausted. If there are people with lofty ideals, there must be people with insight.

It’s just that this matter is beneficial to Xia Anran. His accumulation of literature is limited, and he can pass the children’s test because the children’s test is basically basic knowledge, mainly based on memory. Originally, Lin Ruhai also told him that according to his current accumulation, if he wants to To go further, it will take at least three to five years.

Now he is good at policy theory.

It's not that Xia Anran is smarter than others, but because his eyes come from the future.

Many of his ideas are beyond the imagination of today's people. He stands on the shoulders of giants, and his vision is naturally farther.

This point was discovered by Lin Ruhai in his daily conversations with Lin Ruhai. His apprentice dared to think what others dared not think, dared to do what others did not dare to do.

Not to mention, Xia Anran has promoted the consumption of peppers over the years, and in order to prove that peppers are edible, it has set off a new revolution in the poultry breeding industry.

In Gusu City alone, the production of chickens, ducks, poultry, and livestock using new formulas and new feeds has increased year after year, and the price of poultry eggs has been falling all the way. Today, the popularity of chickens in Gusu is so high that every household can afford it. It has been enough to eat for a few days.

Every few days, there are still surplus chickens sold to other places along the official road.

Before Xia Anran, who would have thought that chickens, ducks and poultry could prepare their own feed?

The ingredients have to be prepared according to the age of the chickens. The most important thing is that he also knows how to breed pupa maggots, ferment them with beans and bran to attract flies to lay eggs, and then feed the hatched larvae to chickens. The technology of beak trimming and the technology of decomposing chicken manure to make fertilizer, after adding chicken manure, the yield of crops has also increased.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the outcome is obvious.

The key is that he does not hide his secrets, and writes his experience on paper and sticks it at the door, allowing everyone to learn this technique.

This magnanimous gentleman's style is actually one of the main reasons why Lin Ruhai wanted to accept him as a disciple. Fortunately, Xia Anran didn't know it. If he wanted to know this reason, he would be speechless.

Raising chickens is actually an oolong.

At first, Xia Anran wanted to prove that chili peppers can be eaten. Yes, he finally felt the need to promote chili peppers as an ingredient, because in the second year of his arrival in this world, the winter of this year was extremely cold, and the cold current swept across the country. The sale of charcoal fire is also extremely expensive, Xia's family is short of money, and the stock of charcoal fire is not enough, so Xia Anran puts some dried peppers at home in the soup of every meal, relying on the spiciness and charcoal fire to survive the winter, but After Maodong came out, he learned that people in Gusu City froze to death this year.

So he planned to prove to everyone that chili peppers are edible, easy to grow, and have tenacious vitality. Gusu is damp and cold. Eating some chili peppers in winter is still very beneficial as long as they don't hurt the stomach too much.

He can't say that the pepper can save lives, but at least it can provide one more way to keep warm.

Especially in winter when there is a lack of fruits and vegetables, chili is also a good way to supplement vitamins.

But the start was difficult. He was young at the time, and although he had a clever name, no one believed in such a thing that could eat the dead.

Xia Anran thought of what he heard at that time, chickens don't even eat, so he changed the feed of the two chickens in the family, smashed peppers and mixed them with corn dregs, rice bran, bean cakes, etc. Seeing the fragrant grain flavor, I naturally don't mind the slightly spicy taste.

As I said before, peppers contain a lot of trace elements. Mixing a small amount of peppers in the feed can not only supplement nutrition, but the key is to stimulate appetite.

He explored the hobbies of the two chickens, added peppers little by little, and made experimental notes, recording the reaction after eating the chickens every day, until one month later, the two chickens at home were still alive, so he bought them again Ducks and chicks, to prove that chickens and ducks can eat chili. After more than half a year, he handed over the book to the mysterious person at home, and the matter of pepper was handed over to the government to operate. Professionals do professional work. After several months of confirmation, the fact that it is indeed edible has been settled.

But Xia Anran's experiments did not stop. He tried adding garlic and ginger to the feed, and fed it every morning when the chickens were most hungry. Although the chickens were a little dissatisfied with this, they still ate it out of fullness. Yes, later this method was discovered by a farmer who came to deliver chickens. This farmer made a small fortune because of Xia Anran’s technique of making chicken blood clots. He came here to remind Xia Anran that chicken plague was coming. All the chickens are full of energy, and the farmer has a high degree of trust in him, so he asked him to learn this recipe.

After going back and forth, this rare story spread, so the fact that he made his own fodder attracted the attention of the county magistrates. Several county magistrates visited Xia Anran's home to see how he made fodder, and after discussing with experienced farmers, Xia Anran An Ran received a reward of ten taels of silver.

Xiaoxia, who got a windfall, was a little guilty, and saw the old farmer staring at the beaks of their chickens for a long time, so she told the old farmer about the beak cutting.

When it comes to beak trimming, he also saw it from the TV. Instead of cutting off all the chickens, they cut off a small part when the chicken was still young.

The beak of the chicken is very sharp. If the breeding density increases, it is easy to have bad habits such as feather pecking and anus pecking. There was no vaccine treatment for chicken cubs in the era, and beak trimming is a relatively mature technology in modern chicken breeding-of course, Xia Anran only mastered this technology in theory.

Another benefit is that there is less feed waste after beak trimming.

The beaks of the chickens have barbs, which are easy to be taken out when they eat the feed in the trough, which adds up to a lot and wastes a lot.

In the beginning, Xia Anran didn't want to do this, the chickens in their house were free-range, so there was no need to do this. Later, he bought a lot of chicks for experiments, and after a few of them died, he realized that the cause of death was really unfair, so he I found his elder brother... Cough, the elder brother is better at doing this kind of thing. For the price of a meal, his elder brother cut off the beaks of their chicken cubs.

But then Xia Anran discovered another problem... All the chickens in the family had reduced their combat effectiveness, and the casualties were reduced, but the ability to deal with natural enemies was also reduced, so he consciously chose a few particularly strong chickens to keep. The beak is used to protect the flock.

To be honest, beak trimming is only necessary after the breeding density reaches a certain level, because there is not enough safe distance between the chickens and they are easy to be injured. If it is free-range, the chickens need to peck at the earthworms in the soil. Natural enemies also need to be dealt with, so naturally there is no need to cut them.

He told the old farmer about the pros and cons, and the old farmer thought about it for a while, then he asked for Xie Anran's consent, and told the matter to a big chicken farmer in the village—the one who bought chicken cubs from Xia Anran.

The author has something to say: The author doesn’t know why the protagonist changed from pepper to chicken (no, the protagonist is obviously a cat!)

Knocking on the table, this is the main task of the author Junyuan's plan!I also don’t know why the eating and eating in the front take up such a large proportion (in deep thought)

Ahem, peppers can really make chicken feed (although I know you don't care)

Beak trimming is only used in farms, not free-range chickens. In fact, it looks very inconspicuous. Let’s put it this way, pay attention to the chickens in the vegetable farm. If there is a hook in front of the beak, the pointed end is very sharp, that is It has not been broken, and the curvature of the front is relatively gentle. Even if it feels that it will not bleed even if it is bitten, it is cut. Generally, it is done when the chick is making a sound for a week.

The author is because, when I used to eat chicken, I was wondering why the chicken’s mouth is so flat. Is it because I always hit the wall when I have nothing to do, so I went to Baidu... Then I got a new technology.

There is also the matter of breeding pupae maggots, and there are really a lot of them.Because chickens need to be supplemented with protein, barley worms in vans are quite expensive, (cough cough) so someone came up with the idea of ​​raising pupae and maggots.

PS The author also raised similar ones. At that time, the author raised a few pet praying mantises... Then he needed to feed fruit flies (very, very small flies) and then specially bought that kind of fruit fly cup... Forget it, Stop talking (silently cover your face)

Before raising a cat, the author really raised a lot of strange things, but after raising a cat, it will not work...you know cats are animals.Claw cheap! ! !

Have you ever had any weird pets?Dorm cockroaches don't count please don't tell me this! (serious face)
