MTL - I Love Farming-Chapter 43 So sweet

aUnder the strict requirements of the lord, it was really difficult for the cook to find the original flavor of roasted suckling pigs. It was so good to find last year's pork. Suckling pigs are not too big. At this time, adult pigs are only 30 to 40 pounds, and suckling pigs are as large as two slaps.

Due to hanging and long-term placement, the surface of the suckling pig is stinky rotten meat. The mother-in-law scraped the rotten meat and put it in the water to cook, then the stench was dispersed. Put some herbs in the pig's belly, roast it on the shelf and roast it to a dark color, and put a roasted apple in the pig's mouth.

As for precious spices like pepper, don't waste it.

The baby suckling pig was put on a wooden plate, and the stench almost smoked the stewards who were accustomed to the food. Cui Qichao said meaningfully: "Let's have a meal."

Gao Wen's face turned blue. The roast pork was fine. Although it may look a bit long, there is no spice. Just a few herbs in the pig's belly. The stench can't be completely covered. Law cover the ears.

He barely picked up the apple and ate two sips, and then looked at those stewards. After Cui Qichao, he happily grabbed a piece of meat and ate it, killing him.

Because the taste of roasted suckling pigs is too strong, Gao Wen can't smell the normal food there, and thought it was similar to his own taste, maybe it just smelled bad?

Gao Wen choked a piece of roasted suckling pig into his mouth, and sure enough, it was still so stinky!

Moreover, it was obviously salted, but the salty taste was nothing. I do n’t know if it was washed off and not covered by strong spices. This is the original smelly pork.

He can be sure that his own dish is not the same as the other's dish. However, you can only swallow your teeth when you break your teeth. Whoever told others to be under the eaves just made silly suggestions.

Although he couldn't smell the scent from the opposite side, the more Gao Wen looked after the stewards, the more he felt the pork in his mouth was disgusting.

Although the stewards eat deliciously, their heart is actually unpleasant. The roasted pigs smell so bad that they can't smell the aroma. They have to keep the meat close to immerse themselves in the smell of normal food-yes From frugal to extravagant and easy, now the stewards don't look down on the previous flavor.

Cui Qichao helped the shy Lance cut a piece of boiled carrots and poured some soup. Presumably Lance has n’t eaten meat for a long time. Do n’t eat so stinky as soon as you come up.

In the eyes of others, it may be that Cui Qichao is bullying the children and only giving others carrots and soup. Lance was hungry for a long time, and was very grateful for everything. He took a bowl and murmured. The cooked radishes are soft and rotten.

Lance took a look at his father as he ate, not knowing how painful his face was, didn't he get used to eating stinky meat.

Gao Wen didn't eat much, and he was killed. He couldn't move his fork.

"Cousin, eat more." Cui Qichao advised, "a rare roast suckling pig." I don't know where the chef turned out, it looks more horrible than what he ate on the first day he came here. .

Gao Wen: "... No, no, I'm full."

Cui Qichao asked casually: "Cousin, I don't know what the harvest is on your territory?"

Gao Wen insisted: "It's not so good ..."

In fact, it is basically equivalent to no harvest, and the serf is starving to death. Otherwise, why is he wandering everywhere, and I do n’t know if it is occupied by other nobles. According to last year's situation, probably no one has this margin.

After Cui Qichao asked about the situation, Gao Wen secretly and reluctantly told him that he had about 500 acres, which is considered to be very young among the knights. The armor on his body was in good times. Hold it down. It is estimated that Gaowen's Caiyi farmland is now full of shrubs and weeds.

Cui Qichao asked again, "We are cousins ​​after all, since cousins ​​are so difficult ..."

Gao Wen thought that he finally came, and he said quickly: "You know how hard I am, and I can't borrow money for you."

He was very vague, and Cui Qichao wanted to blackmail him, that is, to use his money to pay for his sins. But he was so poor that he couldn't afford anything, and no other relatives would lend him money.

Cui Qichao: "I mean, you can join us in Northumberland."

Gao Wen: "..."

This meaning is to become a vassal of Cui Qichao and follow Cui Qichao ever since. He also thought too much, and still remembered crying and bargaining.

When Gao Wen flowed to this time, he definitely didn't want to follow others. However, when Cui Qichao said something, everyone else stared at him with a stare, and didn't promise to die here?

The wolves waited around, Gao Wen hesitated for a while, then nodded, and hurriedly told himself that he had few leaders, as if he wanted to tell Cui Qichao that you really couldn't take much advantage.

"This is not a problem, you can live in Northumberland first, and let your mining land to rest and recuperate. During this period, you might as well learn from me how to make the land productive. We did not suffer last year." Cui Qichao smiled.

The lords themselves will study how to make the land productive and other technical aspects, and how the results will be another matter.

Gao Wen didn't feel wrong after listening. He even felt that Cui Qichao had holy light on his body. He didn't even recall feeding him stink meat. He stuttered, "I, I really don't know how to thank you, Cousin, I'm so embarrassed, in fact, I still ... still ... "

Gao Wen ’s Caiyi is so far away from Northumberland, and it is impossible to set aside. Ordinary nobles generally trade with the nearby nobles, sell the land exclusively to them, and then give Gao Wen a false seal, that is, there is no real Caiyi There are only knight-level offerings. But now listening to the meaning of Cui Qichao, he has to keep the land and continue to cultivate. Just seeing that they could still afford meat and bread, they knew that Northumberland had a good harvest.

Gao Wen was so ashamed that he couldn't go on. Cui Qichao clapped his hands on the back, "Go to study tomorrow."

Lance was also moved, looking at his father with hope, hoping that he learned great skills, and stop robbing everywhere.

ljj barrage is crazy:

[Congratulations to Master Cui for mentioning a natural village! 】

[Congratulations to Master Cui for mentioning 500 acres! !! 】

[So sad, 500 acres of land is far and no one, feels useless]

[Shut up! Is it lucky to be able to expand the territory? 】

[? This is also called Kaijiang Expansion.

[No one cares about Gao Wen's silly fork, does he feel that he is a pill, isn't your Cui strict? 】

[My Cui is still that kind and beautiful me Cui! It ’s so nice to Zheng, who is not the same as his dad, so stay and cultivate it.

[A little scared, only 500 acres in this long time, won't I keep this number all the time? 】

[Renmei is kind? ? We seem to know not a dark Shennong]

...

Gao Wen's father and son lived in Northumberland. The next morning, Gao Wen was woken up by the housekeeper. He asked stupidly: "Yes, I forgot to ask last night. What about my followers? ? "

"Escaped all," the steward said blankly.

Gao Wen: "..."

Gao Wen was furious: "What, these guys! Do they think I'm finished?"

There were no peasant households anymore, and even Luan ran away. Are there any knights who are better than him?

"Sir, go and learn about high yield techniques with me now, and I will show you the secrets of high yield in our Northumberland." The steward led Gao Wen.

With the butler, Gao Wen came to the manure pit. He was stunned. "What is this?"

"This is mixing manure. Adding them to the ground will yield a lot." The steward pointed to him, and now serfs were fertilizing.

Gao Wen: "... Oh, okay, I'm done, let's go."

"Wait a minute, Your Excellency, you haven't practiced yet." The steward carefully said, "It is skillful to mix manure, and you have to pay attention to how much effort you have from left to right. If you do n’t learn it yourself, how can you pass it back to the territory People. "

If Gao Wen's concubine is still there, it must be his followers who have learned, but the housekeeper said that Lacon has run away, Gao Wen stayed for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Will the people in Northumberland accompany me back ? "

"You laughed, so many skills, how many people do we have to send you? Besides, Lord Baron is willing to teach you, already loved, and these skills are passed on, others ca n’t learn.” The steward said Gao Wen is speechless.

Yes, this kind of high yielding technology cannot be learned by others. Who calls him now a bare knight, there is no one available, only a son. Gao Wen was sad and steep but had a conviction that he must learn Northumberland's technology.

Gao Wen had to pinch his nose to mix manure. This job was really tiring. Gao Wen was dizzy and the steward had to say that it was not standard. It almost made him suspect that the steward was fixing him. However, the serfs did fertilize again.

Later, Gao Wen also saw that the people of Northumberland sprinkled the land with a yellow water, saying that it was insecticide, and he immediately said excitedly: "I know this, I have seen it on the farmland in the parish. "

Gao Wen and Cui Qichao are cousins, but Archbishop and Cui Qichao are cousins, so there is no blood relationship between Gao Wen and the Archbishop.

However, Gao Wen from various places knew that the archbishop had kept a lot of arable land in the parish last year because of the secret recipe for deworming, which also led the nobles to want to drag tithes even more.

My cousin is indeed a relative to the Archbishop, and he has obtained this rare formula.

The steward watched Gao Wen's eyes turning on the potion, and said with a stern face: "This potion is poisonous, and the insects are poisonous. If humans and animals do not pay attention to how to use it, they will also be poisoned."

Gao Wen suddenly became agitated, "Ahem ... hehe ..."

"Then let's continue studying." The housekeeper glanced at Gao Wen. The master instructed him not to give Gao Wen the opportunity to take a rest. His farm work was finished and there was military training. Don't think that the aristocracy would not have labor reform.

Although the steward didn't know why the lord didn't pretend not to know Gao Wen and made him a slave, wasn't that the fate of the prisoner of war? The five hundred acres of land could be captured, even if he thought the enclave was too far away.

...

Cui Qichao made some pots and planted some shade-resistant vegetables as green plants, adding a little anger to the dark castle. Lance followed Cui Qichao and watched him grow vegetables curiously.

"Master, is it OK to plant vegetables in pots?" Lance has only seen growing vegetables on arable land, and what Lord Lord has shown is more like landscaping.

"The right plants, the right soil, and the right environment are all you need." Cui Qichao casually introduced Lance to vegetable growing methods, and he was quite interested. After all, there was too little entertainment knowledge at this time, and Added, "You can call my uncle."

Gao Wen is now a vassal of Cui Qichao. From this perspective, it is normal for Lance to call his master.

Under the affirmative eyes of Cui Qichao, Lance shouted respectfully: "Uncle."

Cui Qichao showed some vegetable growing skills in front of Lance, including plant insecticide, cuttings and so on.

Lance never thought that there could be so many amazing skills in arable land, including herbalism. He studied for two years in parish schools, but the school taught singing and chanting.

Cui Qichao led Lance to plant some potted plants, and saw that the steward returned with Gao Wen. Gao Wen was sweating all over, and he was trampled by a horse, full of resentment. When he came back, he complained: "Cousin, you The farm work is also too heavy. I learned that I was sweating and my joints seemed to be hurting again. Can I rest tomorrow? "

"But some skills miss the time and I ca n’t learn them. There are different things to do every month. Why is the joint painful?" Cui Qichao didn't mean to give him a holiday. Only one day was far worse than a thief. .

"It's not that I don't want to, but this is my old problem, and Lance also has it, look." Gao Wen also showed it to Cui Qichao.

As soon as Cui Qichao heard of Lance, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at them, and found that the joints were a little swollen. These two are fine. Because of the poor thermal conditions, many people have this problem, even Lance's younger age, but he has always endured pain and said nothing.

"Butler, get the potion." Cui Qichao ordered.

The steward brought two bowls of yellow potion, and Cui Qichao said to them, "Drink."

Gao Wen: "Isn't this an insecticide potion?"

"You know?" Cui Qichao glanced at him, "Yeah, that's the kind of potion."

Gao Wen also heard the steward said that humans and animals could be poisoned by accidental eating, and he immediately said: "Cousin, I go to study, I go, learning makes me very happy, my joints don't hurt anymore!"

I didn't expect my cousin to be gentle and gentle, and if he didn't like it, he threatened people.

Cui Qichao: "This can relieve your pain."

Yes, isn't it? You don't feel pain when you die. Gao Wen shook his head firmly and waved his fist a few times. "I feel particularly powerful. I'm going to review what I just learned. Lord Lord, I step down!"

This cousin didn't dare to cry, and winked at Lance, suggesting that he remembered to follow.

Lance looked down and pretended not to see.

"Lance, do you dare to drink?" Cui Qichao asked.

Lance slowly took the medicine up and drank it, rubbing her mouth and saying, "The yellow chamomile is in the ground, it is the devil daisy, which invades wheat. But the pharmacist used it to relieve pain. My uncle also said just now, Pesticide Vine A certain dose can kill worms, and a higher dose can kill humans and animals. If it is the right dose, it may be able to expel the pain caused by the devil in my body. "

Although out of the limitations of the times, Lance said something wrong, but in general he understood the meaning inside, and Cui Qichao nodded with satisfaction. Yes, although it is toxic, it can be used as a decoction, ointment, etc. to dilute, and Euonymaceae can relieve rheumatoid arthralgia.

Sure enough, Lance did not take long to drink the medicine, and then pressed his joints: "It really doesn't hurt ..."

It felt so novel, he never knew that the pain that followed him could be relieved. The lord master is planting vegetables like gardening, and can use plants to kill insects and treat joint pain. You can hardly tell whether he is more like a pharmacist, gardener or vegetable farmer.

Lance followed Cui Qichao and met Xiaobai, Dabai, and Tangerine. Lance was a little scared when she saw Xiaobai at first.

Cui Qichao gave him a demonstration, and asked Da Ju to sit down, get down and wait for some action, and then said, "Don't be surprised. How dogs are trained, cats are trained."

Lance asked blankly, "How do dogs train?"

Cui Qichao suddenly remembered that the dog training method at this time should also be the secret of the dog owner. "It is the reward." He demonstrated to Lance how to teach new actions of oranges. As long as the oranges are close to the standard, they will be rewarded with food. Under the guidance of the big orange to complete the action and know what to get to eat, combine it with the password, as long as the person sends out training, it will be completed.

The obedience of cats is worse than that of dogs, but the three of Northumberland are not ordinary, and Xiaobai need not say. Dabai and Tangerine are more mixed with it. They are also brought up by Cui Qichao, and they are very good at food. Very eager, this trust and craving will make them well trained.

Lance tried it with interest, and finally looked at Xiaobaidao: "Then this black cat, can you also train?"

"Why not?" Cui Qichao said to Xiaobaidao, "Xiaobai, stand up."

In the end, he did not escape the performance, Xiao Bai stood up lazily.

Lance's eyes widened a little, looked at Xiaobai for a long time, and tried to say to him, "Sit down."

However, Xiaobai didn't bother.

Lance was not discouraged, but said: "It is indeed a black cat, so difficult to conquer."

But this gave him the impression that even the devil's pet, the black cat is just a bit harder to train than other cats, and it is not so scary to see it in front of Cui Qichao.

but……

Lance asked, "Why is this black cat called Xiaobai?"

Cui Qichao thought for a while and said, "This is to deceive the devil. We all called it Xiaobai, and the devil thought it was white."

noob:"……"

What is the reason for this.

Lance also believed, "That makes sense!"

...

...

Time is always slower during busy hours. Gao Wen never knew that there could be so much work in the field. He still had to master it one by one. Every day when he came back and fell asleep, he lived like a farmer. Finally came to an end and was invited to military training again.

Lance, when Cui Qichao didn't order, asked himself as a waiter and followed him. Before his father became a formal knight, his father also served as an attendant, so he was no stranger to his father's ears.

Unconsciously, the beet planted for more than two months, and it was time to harvest.

Cui Qichao focused most people on harvesting beets, and they had to be harvested within a week. This harvest period was also carefully inferred by Cui Qichao. The sugar content was too early or too late to fall.

The reason why everyone is harvesting beets is that beets must be cut and cut as soon as they are harvested. The root hairs and root tails on the tubers are shaved and stored in a pile to prevent deterioration.

Next, some people have to be specially allocated to handle sugar beet. The sugar mill is stamped next to the mill, and Cui Qichao personally supervises it.

At the beginning, the farmers who made sugar didn't know what it was doing. Cui Qichao divided them up. First, they cleaned the tubers, shredded them and squeezed out the sugar juice. After filtering, they could be put in the pot and burned-squeezed The beet dregs after the juice can also be used to feed the pigs. This is a benefit to the farmers in Tangfang by Cui Qichao, and they are asked to pick them up.

Next is the most important step. Add a bit of lime to the beet exudate. The amount of lime must be very accurate. If you accidentally make it, the sugar you made will be used up and you ca n’t import it. This step is like tofu with brine.

During the cooking, Cui Qichao let the youngest part of the syrup be scooped out and set aside.

The remaining ones are flipped in the pot separately to remove the water. When full, the sugar water becomes a paste, then add a little sugar water to fry, and fry from the paste to a grit shape, and you are done. Appearing in front of everyone is brown brown sugar made by soil.

If white granulated sugar is required, it needs to be further refined, but it is not necessary now. At this time without the technology of making white sugar, brown sugar is already expensive enough.

In the process of making sugar water, a sweet scent emerged, so much so that everyone still dare not confirm that this is sugar. Who can believe it, they are using canola to make sugar. Just now the old man said that the canola was squeezed and fed to pigs.

It was still a big dream for the agricultural officials. After the sugar was formed into a familiar appearance, and he could no longer doubt it, he asked aggressively: "Master, is this ... is it ... sugar?"

The appearance is the same and the fragrance is the same, but how is it different from the source he knew? Brown sugar is not made from a plant called sugar cane, and can it only be brought back by overseas merchants?

Beets are not just vegetables, how can they make brown sugar? The farmer's world view is about to be overturned.

The serfs opened their eyes and stared at the master. The sugar was only for the aristocracy. They had heard, smelled, and saw at most. They couldn't believe that what they had just made was the legendary expensive brown sugar.

Cui Qichao touched the pot of syrup that had been scooped out before, and it was cold and became a light brown semi-solid. If he twisted it in with a clean wooden stick, he would pull out a piece of wire.

The place becomes lighter when pulled apart, similar to maltose, except that it is made from beets.

Cui Qichao rolled two pulls and held it in front of the agricultural officer: "You try it."

The agricultural officer continued to push and even forgot to take the stick, but just licked his tongue in the hand of the master, and the taste buds immediately received the sweetness, until it was as sweet as the internal organs. This expensive taste made him help Murmured: "So sweet ..."

How sweet? There was a sudden sound of exhaustion in Tangfang, so this is sugar, really sugar!

Let ’s just say why we need to build a house for processing vegetables. God, the master behaved so casually, letting them produce sugar without knowing it. To die, what details were there just now? Should their attitude be more sacred?

The farm official felt that he was almost unable to breathe. The voice of the master murmured in his ears dimly, and seemed to be saying what to give the pot of sugar to the children in the village, but he had no time to think, because he thought that there was still a pile in the warehouse. Small beetroot ...
