scientific farming

In the early morning of the next day, the sunlight had just passed through the window paper, scattered evenly on the ground, and cast light spots all over the floor.

"Master..."

In the yard, Amian shouted excitedly, jumping up and down like a grasshopper, without stopping.Roaring and rushing to the door of Song Wen's room, he shouted again, Young Master, but there was no movement in the room, Song Wen was obviously sleeping on his own.He was so excited that he pushed the door open and rushed in, and threw himself in front of Song Wen's bed with a bright smile on his face, "Master, the mung beans have sprouted. The elder is tall, let's pick them and eat them in the morning?"

Song Wen squinted his eyes, opened his eyelids a little, and gave Ah Mian a big white eye from the slit.

It's a pity that Ah Mian is a piece of wood, so she didn't realize it at all, and continued to bluff and dance, saying, "Master, let's eat mung bean sprouts in the morning, I'll pick them..."

Before the words fell, the person had already swept out of the room like a gust of wind.

Song asked: "..."

Suddenly, he jumped up from the bed, regardless of clothes or shoes, he just kicked his feet, using the shoes as slippers, dragged them, and chased after Ah Mian.

Sure enough, Ah Mian was about to squeeze the bean sprouts.

"Don't move!" Song Wen shouted angrily.

Amian was so frightened that she almost overturned the seedling tray, shrugged her shoulders, and turned around stiffly to look at Song Wen, who was only wearing an underwear and kicking his shoes, and asked cautiously: " Master, what, what's the matter?"

"It's too young, it won't taste like eating, at least we have to wait until it grows to the length of an adult's finger. We still have a lot of money, so let's go buy some vegetables today." Song Wen saw that the mung bean sprouts were still there, and his attitude was instant. Affectionately, "It's just the two of us, we won't cook in the morning, go out and buy some steamed stuffed buns and soy milk from a stall that sells breakfast."

Ah Mian looked back at the mung bean sprouts, her eyes were full of reluctance, but it was only half the length of a finger, it was a pity to pick it off, so she could only cover it back with a wet cloth to buy breakfast.

Song Wen ordered: "I'll buy some more mung beans in a while, and soak the rest of the mung beans when I come back. When this wave of mung beans is harvested, the soaked mung beans will be ready to sprout. When the mung beans are soaked for a long time, they germinate quickly. Yesterday was We didn’t soak it for enough time, so the mung bean sprouts grew slowly. Since they are going to be sold, one seedling tray is definitely not enough. After you soak the mung beans, just like I did before, make a few more.”

Ah Mian responded one by one before going out.

As soon as the person was out of sight, Song Wen hurried back to the house, quickly put on his clothes and shoes at the same speed as when he was being chased by a dog.The mung bean sprouts that Ah Mian refused to pick up just now were taken away by him in a whole plate, not even a single soaked mung bean was left behind.In order to prevent being blocked by Ah Mian, the main entrance of the yamen must not be allowed to go, but fortunately there is a back entrance, and if you go out, you will go all the way to the general's mansion.

The general's mansion is very familiar with Song Wen. Although Song Wen's behavior of rushing to the door without handing over the post was very rude, the guards did not drive him out, so they kindly reminded: "Why did Mr. Song come in person? But I want to find the general. The general is not at the mansion, why not send someone to wait at the gate of the palace?"

"?" Song asked with a blank face.

The guard understood after thinking about it, and explained in a good voice: "Master Song, the general is still in court at the moment, and it will be time to come back after the court. If the emperor wants to discuss political affairs with the general, then this There is no certainty when you will return to the mansion. Master Song, look at this..."

Song Wen: Tears!

The general is the general of Sanpin Town West, the kind who goes to court every day.And he, Song Wen, is a county magistrate of Chang'an from the seventh rank. He is usually not qualified to go to the court, only the one who can show his face in the court.

The guard was still waiting for Song Wen to reply, he bowed his body slightly, respecting Song Wen equally.

However, Song Wen waved his hands at the guard with a vicissitudes of life, hugged the seedling tray, sat silently on the steps in front of the general's mansion, and said sadly: "Don't worry about me, I'll wait for the general here."

The desolate back fully interprets the weak, helpless, and pitiful!

The guard asked Song Wen to be confused by this action, and seeing that the passers-by were all looking at this side, they were also stupefied, and hurried forward to persuade: "Master Song, how can I let you sit here and wait? If the general finds out, we won't be able to walk around. Mr. Song, why don't you go in and wait?"

"Ah Da is not in the house, Ah Er is here, Mr. Song can talk to Ah Er first if you have something to do." Another guard suggested.

Song Wen persisted in his refusal, and made up his mind to sit on this step, looking like you guys don't understand anything.What can the guard do?I can only go in quickly to report to Ah Er.

Ah Er: "..."

what can he doI can only put down the mountain of things in my hands, go out and sit on the steps with me, otherwise what's the matter if outsiders see it?

A county magistrate of Chang'an, a general of Zhenxi, a civil servant, and a general, no matter what they say, people outside can compile a book.

So, today, there were two men sitting on the steps of the General's Mansion.One was still holding something covered with a wet cloth, and occasionally you could see water leaking from it, and the other was just sitting there with nothing to love.

Fortunately, today the hall was calm and there was no major event, so the emperor left the court early.When Xiao Lue came back, he saw two people sitting in front of his house, Song Wen who was holding something was drowsy, and he was about to fall asleep and fall over.

Xiao Lue stepped forward a few steps, and stretched out his hand to support it.

"General." Ah Er stood up in an instant and stood upright.

Song Wen was supported, raised his eyes in a daze, met Xiao Lue's exquisite eyebrows, and said with a smile, "You're back."

Xiao Lue took the hand holding the person back with a swish, nodded stiffly as if being scalded.Looking at Ah Er again, the temperature around his body dropped suddenly, and all the wind, frost, rain and snow greeted him, angrily scolded: "What's going on? This is how the General's Mansion treats guests?!"

Ah Er nodded, accepting the reprimand honestly.

"Hey, it's none of his business."

Song Wen hurriedly stood up, waved his hands and said, "I want to wait for you at the door, I have something to do, so I can't go in. Don't scold him."

Xiao slightly's face softened a little.

Song Wen handed the seedling plate in front of Xiao Lue like offering a treasure, and said with a smile: "I made mung bean sprouts last night, and I sent them for you to taste. I was taken care of by the general before, and I am not an ungrateful person, but I am poor. It’s so bad, I can only make mung bean sprouts with my own hands and give them to you, as if there are exchanges.”

"No need." Xiao slightly refused.

Song Wen had offered treasures in front of people, turned around and stuffed the seedling tray into Ah Er's arms, and then happily lifted off the wet cloth strips covering it, revealing the white and tender little buds inside. The soaked mung bean skin, the sun is just right, when the light shines, the light spots flow, and it adds a little bit of gold to the sight for a while.

Both Xiao Lue and A'er were surprised. Seriously, Mung Bean and the others knew that Mung Bean Sprouts probably sprouted. What is there to offer a treasure, implying that the soldiers have never seen Mung Bean sprout!

Who would have guessed that once it was uncovered, it was really pretty, and it was planted before the soil was in it? !

In the eyes of Xiao Lue and Ah Er, the mung bean sprouts looked good, but Song Wen said with pity: "Oh, I had to wait for one more day to grow them longer than my fingers, but it's a pity that they were rejected by Ah Er." That idiot Mian lifted the cloth towel early in the morning, otherwise it could be raised again, but now it can only be eaten."

Xiao Lue was puzzled: "Can't you raise it anymore?"

"You can't see the light when sprouting bean sprouts." Song Wen regretted, but immediately became happy again, "Okay, I can't continue raising it, I just send it to you to taste the taste. You can ask the cook to fry it with oil and eat it. It's delicious .Actually, the best food is to eat with grilled fish. If you don’t bother, you can eat grilled fish.”

"Grilled fish?"

Xiao Lue felt that he understood every word Song Wen said, but he didn't know how to do it.Such small and tender greens, bean sprouts and fish are grilled together, won't they be burned all at once?

However, this did not prevent him from blindly trusting Song Wen, and immediately told Ah Er, "Is there any fish in the kitchen today? Forget it, you can go and buy one right now."

"I want grass carp." Song Wen hurriedly added, "If you have courgettes, buy some."

Cucumbers here in Dali are called cucumbers. Song Wen just wanted to say that it’s a pity that he didn’t know if there were cucumbers, but he found the corresponding ones in the original body’s memory, and it’s time to buy them.Originally, there were more potatoes, but it seemed that there were no potatoes in Dali Dynasty. He searched all the memories of his original body, but he couldn't find any crops similar to potatoes.

Xiao Lue invited: "Is this the way you eat grilled fish? There is no way here in the capital, and the cook probably won't be able to do it. Since you brought fresh food like mung bean sprouts over, why don't you just eat it together at my house Try something new. After a while, I'll ask someone to invite Ah Mian to come and eat with me."

"Okay." Song Wen was happy to have something to eat, so he simply agreed, and followed Xiao Lue into the general's mansion, went straight to the kitchen, and asked the cook to discuss the current condiments.

In the Dali Dynasty, there was also a saying that the gentleman stayed away from the kitchen.

Seeing Song Wen set up a table yesterday and making gnocchi with his hands, he thought it was a difficult move, but now following Song Wen all the way, Xiao Lue felt that Song Wen probably didn't have these thoughts in his heart, and it might be because of his poor family .It is already difficult for people from poor families to study, so how can they ignore their family affairs.

After thinking about it this way, Xiao Lue became a little more satisfied with Song Wen.I just think that Song Wen is a good reader, and he has a heart to serve the people of the world as an official. What's rare is that he hasn't ignored the pedantry of those civil servants in the court.

Song Wen didn't know, because he was greedy for grilling fish, and for a while, Xiao Lue became more determined to let himself be an official.Got it, probably...

Eat the grilled fish first, and then break up!

This is the backbone of a poor and gluttonous person. If you have an attitude, you will definitely not be able to suffer!

Ben Songwen was also worried that the kitchen didn't have enough seasonings at the moment, which would affect the taste of the grilled fish. When he entered the general's kitchen, he found that there were onions, ginger and garlic, as well as Chinese prickly ash and dogwood, and what was even more gratifying was that there was pepper.Bringing out all the seasonings in the kitchen, Song Wen almost cried with joy, but at the same time felt sad, it turned out that the original body didn't remember it, it was all because of poverty!

After finding all the seasonings and finding fresh live fish in the kitchen, I didn't wait for Ah Er's fish, and asked the cook to remove the internal organs and clean it up.Song Wen then instructed him to marinate it slightly with rice wine, salt, scallions, ginger slices, etc.While marinating, he directed Xiao Lue to build a firewood pile in the yard by the way.

There are only lard and tallow in the kitchen, one is paste and the other is fat, which needs to be melted before use.Just as the fish was being marinated, the cook heated up a pot and melted a whole bowl of lard.

When the oil cooled down, Song Wen directed the cook to brush the oil evenly until the fish was split in half, only using the fish connected by the spine, and then put the fish on the fire to roast.This is technical work, if Song Wen asked himself to do it, he would definitely not be able to bake it well, but the cook is used to it, and he can handle it after listening to Song Wen's description of the degree of roasting that needs to be done.

When the outer layer of the fish is golden brown, turn over to grill the skin. The skin can be seen shrinking slowly with the naked eye, and the air can smell burnt, mixed with the aroma of lard and seasoning.

When this side is almost baked, the pot can start to burn.Heat up the pot, put lard in it, and the flowers will bloom. The cold oil in the hot pot can prevent sticking to the pot. Then put the ginger slices in the pot first, and you can smell the smell a little, then add peppercorns, crushed peppers, green onions and Garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, cut the courgette into triangular strips with a little skin, put half of it in the pan and stir-fry together, then add the grilled fish, add cooking wine over high heat, and finally add water to stew.

The stewing time should not be long, as the roasted fragrance will be covered up after a long time. When the water boils, put in the bean sprouts and the remaining zucchini strips, and boil again to start the pot.

Because the main character was mung bean sprouts, Song Wen didn't ask the cook to put all the bean sprouts into the grilled fish, but left half of it to stir fry on a plate, and served it with the grilled fish.Served with white rice, a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of grilled fish, the inside is white and tender, dipped in soup, it is a paradise on earth.

Song Wen sat down, and quickly picked up a large piece of grilled fish for Xiao Lue with the serving chopsticks, which meant that the host had already moved the chopsticks, and the second chopsticks were quickly delivered to his mouth, making his brows and eyes crooked with delight, wishing he could tsk tsk sucking chopsticks.

Seeing how happy he was eating, Xiao Lue thought it was delicious before he ate it.Unexpectedly, when the fish really entered the mouth, it was really delicious.He glanced at Song Wen who was concentrating on eating hard, and felt that in front of him was a gluttonous laughing mouse. He got something delicious, so he sent it to eat with him.

For a while, the feeling in my heart was complicated.It's different from the robbing of colleagues in the army, and it's different from those who retired from the army like Ah Da and Ah Er to follow him.

As for what's different...

Xiao slightly thought about it, but didn't understand.Song Wen sent another chopsticks of mung bean sprouts into the bowl, seeing him beckoning himself to eat quickly, he said that the mung bean sprouts were delicious, so he raised his lips and smiled unconsciously, and buried his head in eating together.

"Master!"

Ah Mian ran in first, followed by Ah Er, who was carrying two fish. He stared at Song Wen who was feasting, looking like you are a heartless man, "Master, you said mung bean sprouts can't be eaten, it's okay." What a pity to eat it now?!"

How could Song Wen be able to be accused obediently, and immediately said: "I said yesterday that the mung bean sprouts are not exposed to the light, you opened them all up when you got up in the morning, and you were said to have seen the light, and you were literally basking in the sun naked. After such a toss, can it still grow? The left and right can’t grow anymore, and it can’t be left to spoil, so it’s natural to make it and eat it.”

Ah Mian: "..."

His eyes widened, he didn't know whether to say that his young master was shameless, or that he was arrogant.

He was angry, angry, and sniffed. In the next moment, his head was empty, and a pair of tricks landed on the grilled fish, as if he had lost his soul: "It smells so good."

Song asked: "Ah Er, quickly send the fish to the kitchen. The next grilled fish is already being cooked in the kitchen. You can eat it when you go there. Cook your newly bought fish too. Everyone can eat it. Ah Mian followed Ah Er go together."

Amian was wronged immediately, but it wasn't he and Song Wen, and Xiao Lue was there, he was a servant of the Song family, it was really inappropriate to serve with him, so he had nothing to say.Honestly followed Ah Er to the kitchen, and after a while, came over again in a hurry, widened his eyes again, and complained: "Master, you used up all the mung bean sprouts!"

Song Wen nodded, pointed at the stir-fried mung bean sprouts and grilled fish with chopsticks, and said, "Our mung bean sprouts are sold for money. In the capital, we are familiar with the general's mansion, so naturally we will send them to the general to taste." Taste it, try all kinds of ways to eat it, and if it tastes good, we will send all the bean sprouts over in the future, so as to save the publicity and sell them."

He said earnestly, "Amian, I am now the county magistrate, young master. At least I am an official, so I can't do business."

Ah Mian: "..."

It makes sense, but I still feel wronged!
