I Love Farming

Cui Qichao came to the church in Northumberland. Compared with the cottage farmers' houses built with thatch, mud and a little wood, this was considered luxurious, and it was built with stones.

Cui Qichao was even a little envious when he saw it, because although it was also a high-end stone house, his castle was too airtight.

The priest William's house is not far from the church. Today is when he preaches, and the peasants listen to him here.Cui Qichao

Arrival, William's attitude is excellent.Although he doesn't live in the castle, whenever His Excellency the Baron cooks meat, he will definitely send a portion to him, and it is worthwhile that he also regards His Excellency the Baron as one of his own.

In fact, William also heard about the rumors in the manor recently. There was a dung thief, and the stewards seemed to be unable to find the thief, so he was planning to explain what God said about theft today. .Stealing other people's property is a very serious crime. The manure is not animal manure that can be picked up anywhere on the ground, or manure that he pulls himself, but bought by the baron Mr. Huadouzi, that is private property.

However, William was still a little puzzled, because there was a chapel in the castle, and His Excellency the Baron did not need to pray together with these peasants.

William soon found out, and the attendants behind Cui Qichao took out the wheat and meat and put them in the offering box.

Then the baron asked in front of the peasants: "Pastor, I would like to ask, if a person commits the crime of stealing and does not atone for it, will he be rewarded?"

This is a very basic teaching, the serfs may not know it, but how could the baron, who is a nobleman, not know it.He asked this question, in William's understanding, to warn the farmers present and scare them into surrendering themselves.

William sighed inwardly. How could it be so easy? These peasants seem simple-minded, but they are actually stupid. If given the opportunity, they would know how to take advantage of it.

However, William still said honestly: "This...God is full of love for the world, he takes pity on the good, and punishes the wicked..." He originally wanted to be long-winded, no, explain clearly the consequences of the good and the evil, what kind of situation may It's retribution, the trial may be late but it won't be absent, but seeing Cui Qichao's eyes, thinking of the wheat and meat he brought, he immediately said, "There are some, there must be some."

"Okay, I believe in God, and I also pray to God, hoping that God can respond to me and give the thief some punishment. Any soil he uses stolen goods to water will be surrounded by hellfire," Cui Qichao said seemingly piously.

Isn't this the curse of Chiguoguo? William was still very solemn on the surface, "Your Excellency the Baron, thank you for your generosity, God bless you."

Cui Qichao sat in the church for a while, and then left in a hurry. His evil black cat was left outside because he couldn't come in.

As soon as I went out, I saw that Xiaobai was gnawing on the grass, maybe he was about to throw up a hairball.

The attendants thought, the baron's control over the evil black cat was so deep that even if he left it outside, he would not dare to escape.

Then the Baron performed a trick that amazed everyone in the castle, pointing to the cat and saying, "Go away."

The black cat rolled on the ground, then took the initiative to walk up to the master, lowered its little head, the master bent down and grabbed the back of the neck, and grabbed it.

At this time, in the church, the yeoman Mike sitting in the corner was a little uneasy.

Together with the others, he heard the curse of the baron with his own ears, and his calf trembled a little due to guilt. If he hadn't been sitting here, he might have collapsed from the weakness of his legs.

When his wife saw it, she stepped on Mike's bare feet and warned him with her eyes.

Mike let out a breath slowly, and put his arms around the elder son. The elder son with his head down froze, then relaxed. In silence, they exchanged a comforting look.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need to fear what kind of judgment you will receive later.

For more than a week after that, Mike's mind was always filled with the baron's cursing voice, which was indifferent but decisive, and every single sentence echoed from time to time, and he had to spend his time trying to cover it up in front of others.

On the tenth day, when Mike went to pull weeds in his allotment, he squatted down and saw that the edges of the leaves of a wheat seedling were a little yellow and wilted.

This...is this a bug?Still too hot?No, the weather has been cool recently.

The master's curse flashed in his mind again, but Mike still comforted himself, it's impossible, no, how could the trial come so quickly.His father told him that he once stole the lord's wheat before, and was not judged until ten years later - his leg was broken.

Mike was flustered, and it lasted until the next day. When he came to the field to see it, he was even more flustered. The symptoms of yellowing of the leaves became more obvious, and they even curled up, and even the stems turned yellow.

Even, these wheat seedlings did not grow as quickly after fertilization as he thought. Up to now, there are not many plugs in the other serf fields, because they are wilted, and they seem to be a little shorter.

The eldest son also noticed this scene, showing a frightened expression, "Father..."

Mike was in a trance and didn't notice.

The eldest son continued: "Father, do you think this...does it look like it was burnt?"

Mike woke up suddenly, showing an expression of extreme fear, yes, it is true, this curly yellow leaf is not exactly like a fire.

What did the master say about the curse?Those soils watered with stolen goods will be surrounded by hellfire!

Mike sat down on the field ridge and hugged his head.

"My God, what should I do!"

The eldest son hurriedly looked around to see if anyone had noticed. He supported his father and said, "Father, let's dig out all those..."

"Yes, yes." Mike raised his head almost immediately, showing a look of redemption.That's right, dig up the loot and maybe the trial will end.

But they can't do it right away, they can only wait until the sun goes down, and the people in the nearby fields are all gone, and they even have to be careful that they find that many seedlings in their field are not right.

Mike spent several days fertilizing the lot, and now, he dug up all the rich soil overnight.

When he went to bed, he was already exhausted, and he would still have nightmares after falling asleep.

Worse than a nightmare is a nightmare that comes true.

Even though he had dug out all the loot, the fire of hell was still destroying his crops, and the situation was getting worse. The growth of the wheat seedlings had almost stopped, and the whole piece was yellow.

Now I can't hide it anymore, and everyone in the vicinity has discovered it.

Everyone's eyes widened, "...Oh my god, why is Mike's wheat seedling like this, it looks like it's been burned."

"Do you still remember that the master said that the land of the dung thief will be burned by the fire of hell? This is God's answer to the master!"

"That's right, Mike is the dung thief, and his family lives near the fat pit!"

"Let me just say that Mike was in a bad mood during the day a while ago..."

"Master's prayer has come true!!"

The farmers spread the news with horror and excitement.

The Mike family completely lost their strength and sat on the ground blankly. They cried loudly when the boss came to catch them and beat them with a wooden stick.

Mike was full of regrets in his heart. He shouldn't take chances and steal the master's manure!

He would not know that the moment his crime was revealed, his face and whole body were covered by bullet screens, and countless people were calling him names and calling for:

[Fuck Mike! ! ! 】

The onlookers were still a little jealous before, but now they are gloating, not to mention who doesn’t like people who steal things, what if their own things are also stolen, they showed their attitude; "I said it a long time ago, There will be no good end to stealing from the master!"

……

"Master, the thief who stole the manure has been caught. God's punishment has appeared in his land, and the fire of hell has burned the crops in the field to the point of withering." When the steward came to report this incident, he was in awe.

In this ignorant age, black cats are magic pets, and weeds are left by devils.When Cui Qichao's prayer came true, there was no doubt that everyone thought it was a miracle without any doubt.

Looking at their master lord again, there was no expression of surprise at all.

The butler took a deep breath in his heart, looking at the usual calmness, this is the archbishop's relative!He is far closer to God than ordinary people like them!

Cui Qichao sighed in his heart. In the past few days, the person who stole the excrement did not turn himself in.

It is inevitable that such a situation will occur.

The reason why he still hangs the serfs for a while is because the retting of compost is continuous, and retting is carried out again when there is new manure, and the earliest compost has been used up for fertilizing a large area of ​​cultivated land.It will take some time for the available compost to be retting.

Moreover, fertilization is not as simple as just pouring manure into the soil. The concentration and amount must be appropriate, and watering is also required.

Mike didn't understand the principle, and he didn't draw a complete picture of cats and tigers. He even fertilized too much because of greed.

Several diseases occur together, the cytoplasmic walls of crops are separated, and severe dehydration occurs. This kind of state that seems to have been scorched appears. This phenomenon is not called the curse of hellfire, but burning seedlings.

From excessive fertilization to the appearance of obvious symptoms, it took more than a week. Cui Qichao reckoned that it was also in the past few days.Sure enough, it was discovered, and such a large phenomenon could not be hidden from everyone's eyes.This is not a modern city of mutual indifference. In the manor, your chickens will be the talk of others even if they lay a few extra eggs.

The lord wants to personally judge the Mike family, and the stewards all suggested that they should be punished severely, by hanging Mike, and then punishing his family members as slaves.

Cui Qichao looked at Mike, who lay on the ground like a slug and burst into tears.

He was originally a self-cultivator, but because of his greed for a while, now his family will be implicated. If he becomes a slave, there is no possibility of turning over, and he will be connected to his descendants.

Cui Qichao sighed, "Do you know you were wrong?"

Mike didn't dare to look up at the lord, and cried and said: "Master, I repent my sins, I shouldn't be greedy!"

Cui Qichao said coldly: "You will become my slaves, and your fields will also belong to me, understand?"

Mike looked up, teary-eyed, surprised.

For the crime of stealing, the punishment is at least to become a slave, not to mention that he stole so much manure, which caused gossip in the manor, and those stewards suggested that the master should execute him.

Soon, Mike burst into tears again, saying it as if the master was kind, but being a slave is worse than life!

At this time, Mike didn't know that the slaves in the castle were quietly working for the master, but they didn't let them know.

This also made the stewards even more angry, "Master, please allow me to express my dissatisfaction. He committed such a serious crime. Are you just punishing his family as slaves?"

If it was a slave like before, the stewards might still accept it, working from morning till night.But now everyone in the castle doesn't know that the slaves are taking turns doing crafts work for the master.

"The crops in their fields have been burned to death. This is God's judgment. If I add too many punishments, it's not appropriate." Cui Qichao also had his own reasons.

He felt that punishing these people to work for him for free for a few years was already a big deal, he respected the rules of the Middle Ages, and it could serve as a warning.After he leaves, all slaves will also be rewarded with freedom.

The stewards wanted to say something more, but thinking about the punishment of the hellfire, no one dared to say that they understood God's will better than the master, so they quickly shut up.The housekeeper was afraid that what he said just now was too blunt, so he added a sentence: "You are the most wise."

……

The Mike family did not return to their wooden house, so they no longer owned private property, and stayed directly in the castle.

The steward sent someone to Mike's house to put away their things, which already belonged to the lord.

When the nearby farmers inquired about the results of Mike's house, they all said:

"This is what happens to thieves!"

"This is what Mike deserved, let him repent endlessly in the rest of his career!"

As for Mike's land, it was originally rented from the master, and now it is still being punished. Everyone is wondering whether it will be abandoned like this, and how long it will take to restore it.

At this time, the lord gave an order to have all the wheat seedlings in the field transplanted to other places.

Unexpected and reasonable things happened. After these wheat seedlings were transplanted into the master's field, they gradually returned to normal, and finally even the withered yellow color faded.

This is simply another proof of God's punishment. Only the soil that has been splashed with stolen goods will be burned by the fire of hell. The clean land of the master has gradually restored innocent crops.

Even the priest William went to the field for a long time, and confirmed to everyone inscrutablely that this is indeed God's handwriting, and the bad guys will be judged, but the good guys will not be implicated.

William's prestige in Northumberland reached a new peak because of this incident. People looked at him with unprecedented respect, and no serf dared to doze off in the church. No matter how tired or sleepy, he had to listen to the priest's sermon.

William also wrote the incident on parchment and sent it back to the church to show his achievements.

Of course, he did not forget to thank His Excellency the Lord, and wrote a letter of thanks to the Archbishop. Although this was a miracle, it would not have happened if it were not for the Archbishop and the Lord.

On Cui Qichao's side, when he heard the report that the crops had returned to normal, he still looked calm, "Okay, the original soil can now be thoroughly turned over, and the soil with stolen goods can be turned upside down, and then it can be planted normally. Time to sow seeds."

For plants with burnt seedlings, the most appropriate remedy is to water them in an appropriate amount to replenish water for the plants. It would be even better if they can be transplanted.

Before you know it, it is November and winter is coming. People all over the south are slaughtering livestock, using a lot of herbs and salt to make dried meat, cured meat, sausage and so on.

The winter is too cold, and a large number of livestock will freeze to death. Even Cui Qichao has to succumb to the fact that he will have to eat bacon for the next few months, so he is more concerned about this, wishing to keep staring, guaranteeing Those foods are clean.

Cui Qichao was there when the animals were caught. He took Xiaobai with him and rode on horseback to watch the pig herder lead the slaves and sheep dogs to drive the pigs in the forest back to the pen.

The shepherd dogs are now well-trained and know how to cooperate with each other, running wildly to block every fork in the road, and leading the livestock to run in the direction of the pen.

These pigs have basically weighed forty catties since they were raised. Cui Qichao looked at them from a distance and admired the shepherd dogs.Shepherd dogs do have a high IQ and know how to work in a team. It’s hard to say, but it’s true. Many humans in this era don’t know this.

Xiaobai was originally squatting on Cui Qichao's shoulder, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel itchy.It was also trained as a shepherd cat. Although it has only herded ducks, is its mind worse than those dead dogs?

It was pulled away last time, otherwise it would have scratched those dogs until their faces were bloody.Xiaobai couldn't hold back, jumped off Cui Qichao, jumped off the horse and ran forward, ready to show off.

"Hey, Xiaobai?" Cui Qichao shouted in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

Seeing the movement, Dabai and Daju raised their heads from Cui Qichao's cloak and hood, their eyes moved with Xiaobai's movements, and they looked a little ready to move.

Xiaobai rushed forward and drove a wandering free-range pig to the middle.

It was only then that Cui Qichao realized that Xiaobai wanted to show off his talents. He smiled a little, Xiaobai...

Before the smile was over, Cui Qichao's face suddenly changed. Within sight, the pig being chased by Xiaobai seemed to lose his temper suddenly.

Oh my god, Xiaobai was hit by a pig!

Both Dabai and Daju whispered "meow", as if frightened.

Cui Qichao was so frightened that he quickly rode his horse and ran forward for a while, and got off the horse, "Xiaobai?!"

Xiaobai struggled to stand up from the grass, turned a few times, and then ran smartly as if nothing had happened, not listening to Cui Qichao's call at all.

Cui Qichao: "..."

He touched the white and orange cats who were still in shock and did not dare to go down at all, feeling in his heart, Xiaobai is too strong.

Cui Qichao couldn't catch up with Xiaobai, and Xiaobai didn't come back until all the pigs entered the pen. Cui Qichao immediately grabbed him by the back of the neck and checked him from beginning to end.

Living in the Middle Ages was much more difficult than in the 21st century, and one had to be careful not to reveal one's words and deeds. Under such circumstances, Cui Qichao felt a little more close to Xiaobai.If Xiaobai dies, he feels that he should not accept it.

"Do you really think a cat has nine lives? It's really dead. How can I go to the customer service and say, please revive my cat that was killed by a pig?" Cui Qichao pinched Xiaobai's ear and complained.

noob:"…………"

...can you stop mentioning that?

Obviously, Cui Qichao didn't understand Xiaobai's mentality of trying to forget, and even used this to educate the white and orange cats.

Xiaobai gritted his teeth in Cui Qichao's tiger's mouth resentfully, and Cui Qichao finally slapped Xiaobai a few times, "Be good to me."

Seeing the butcher catch the pig and slaughter it, Cui Qichao told him to keep the whole pig thigh, and he wanted the cook to marinate Huaxia-style pig ham.They are all pickled, pickled what is not pickled, he also wants to make some Chinese-style sausages.

The sausages in the Middle Ages did not have so many changes later. Most of them were stuffed with cow cecum and pig large intestine, with offal inside, and sometimes oats, animal blood and other messy things were added, and then smoked, the flavor was very different .However, the few pork sausages inevitably had a rotten smell. Cui Qichao had seen it in the castle, and it was quite unacceptable.

Cui Qichao put the cat by his feet and began to stare at the cook as he kneaded the ham. "This corner must be kneaded too. Knead the salt into the pork. Use your hands and heart to feel the pork softening..."

The cook was sweating. She had never marinated pork so hard before, and she had to massage the pig, but it was less salty than what they used to do.

This pig was simple, with rough hair on the inside and outside, and Cui Qichao had to ask the cook to shave the hair off first.He stared at this side, while Dabai and Daju were interested in the meat in the kitchen, poking their heads, eager to try it.

Xiaobai slapped them on the head, Cui Qichao glanced at them and said nothing.

Although Cui Qichao had warned Xiaobai not to bully Dabai and Daju, this kind of discipline was obviously not included.Xiaobai was overjoyed and took the opportunity to beat up the two cats.

"Even after hanging up, you must check it from time to time, otherwise there may be rot, which needs to be dealt with in time." Cui Qichao warned the cook, and the cat meowed in his ears. He turned around and picked up a pig's head the size of a basketball. Bai Ding staggered, "You give me enough time, don't take the opportunity to make trouble!"

Xiaobai looked at the pig's head, "..."

Sad and angry, Cui Qichao did it on purpose! !
