Chapter 537 Peanuts
As soon as Jiang Xinyan finished speaking, Wei Dabin and Nie Cimeng had such expressions on their faces as expected, and the others were so shocked that they could put eggs in their mouths.
Everyone was curious again, and Jiang Xinyan told them about the process of Chu Lixuan defeating the Western Chu general Ha Chi.
Her voice is sweet and eloquent, and she speaks in a flustered voice, and when she hears everyone, it's like being there.
Everyone's worship of their grandfather has risen to a new height, and the worship is like a surging river, which is endless.
Dai Yuntao received a letter from his father yesterday saying that Dingxihou's mansion in the capital was rich and powerful, and could actually support the Zhenxi Army for half a year.
Because the Zhenxi Army was well fed, they had the strength to repel the Western Chu general Ha Chi, who was named the God of War in one fell swoop.
Many ministers in the imperial court were jealous and jealous, and the loyal ministers were just jealous, sighed, and had no other meaning.
However, the traitors secretly wanted to frame the Dingxihou mansion and clean up the Dingxihou in the name of the emperor.
The treacherous officials can deprive and divide up the family property of the Xihou Mansion, but the war in the south is not over yet.
Xi Chu has not completely let go and stopped attacking Yumen Pass, so the emperor did not let go and find fault with the Dingxihou mansion.
I don't know if the emperor is also regretting the rectification of Zhennan Marquis Chu Lixuan, and the people are spreading it.
If the Marquis of Zhennan were not exiled, God would not let Grandpa Locust come down to harm the crops, and Nanman would not dare to invade the southern border easily.
Dai Yuntao's father said that the capital was very short of food, so they all came to the north, and the emperor didn't care, just sent a secret order to his father to find out the source of the food.
The emperor also thought that the food from the north was obtained by the king of Zhenbei. As for what happened, even the commander of Jinyiwei did not find out.
There is no room for other people to sleep on the side of the couch. He can feel at ease when everything is in the hands of the emperor. How could the emperor allow the King of Zhenbei to have a large amount of food!
Even his own younger brother could not do, so the emperor went with the flow to assign Duke Dingbei to the northern border.
The emperor knew that the Duke of Zhenbei had seized the military power of the Duke of Dingbei, and the Duke of Dingbei would definitely take revenge on the King of Zhenbei.
As long as Chu Lixiang Ding Beihou caught the little braid of King Zhenbei, he would definitely report it to the emperor.
It turns out that all of this is due to their master's skill, the Western Chu God of War was defeated by their master, and the food was given freely by their master.
Dai Yuntao's father told Dai Yuntao worriedly in the letter that if Dingxi Hou was murdered by a traitor again, I was afraid that Dongchen Kingdom would end.
His father was helpless, he was soft-spoken, had no real power, and no one in the court listened to him, so he was disheartened and wanted to return to the northern border.
In fact, Dai Yuntao's father was the Marquis of Dingbei, and he didn't want to return to this sad place.
The Dai family has guarded the north for generations. Eighteen years ago, the emperor took over military power and ordered them to go to the capital.
Ding Beihou also has a name for nothing, and the good son of the junior is also Dai Yuntao. The other juniors were ordered to study literature by him, and they became weak chickens with no strength.
This time, Dai Yuntao was able to persuade his father, but he played a trick and wrote to his grandmother to successfully persuade the Duke of Dingbei.
The Dai family is also similar to the Chu family. The rest are women and children. It can be said that almost all the sons of the generals' family died in battle.
Like Grandfather Wei and Grandfather Nie, their grandmothers passed away, because both of them were civil servants.
After the meeting, we had dinner. Everyone went back to their houses to eat, and the singles went to the large dining room to eat.
The next day, Jiang Xinyan led everyone to tear down peanuts. Peanuts are called peanuts in Dongchen country. The harvest period of peanuts is from June to November.
Groundnuts are sown in spring and fall. Peanuts are suitable for sandy soil areas with warm climate, long growing season and moderate rainfall.
Therefore, in Lanni Town, where Jiang Xinyan and the others are located, groundnuts are the best for sowing and the yield is abundant. Even in modern groundnuts, groundnuts are widely eaten as a nut.
The peanut oil can be extracted from peanuts, and the waste from the extracted oil can also be used as raw materials for cosmetics such as soap and hair oil.
These have to wait for Jiang Xinyan and his wife to do it after returning from Yumen Pass. Chu Lixuan has already drawn a picture according to Jiang Xinyan's description and arranged for Luo Yansong to be the press.
Jiang Xinyan and his wife, followed by Wei Dabin, Zhao Yu, Dai Yuntao, Zhou Daniu and other strong generals, as well as Jiang Zihao, Chu Lixiang, Song Mingjiang, Wei Wenbin and other weaklings.
"Hey! Look carefully, groundnuts are mainly determined based on the appearance of the plant and the appearance of the fruit at maturity.
Judging from the appearance of the plant, the upper leaves turn yellow, the middle and lower leaves turn from green to yellow, and gradually fall off, and the stems and branches turn yellow when they are mature and ready to be pulled.
Take a bag to show you, the outer skin of the husk is hardened, the texture of the network veins is deep and clear, the inner sponge of the husk is dark brown, the kernels are full and full, and the seed coat is brightly colored. "
"Ma'am, is this piece of land planted and mature at the same time?" Zhao Yu also easily pulled out a pocket.
"That's right, so if you are not sure if it is ripe, just pull it out and take a look. If it looks like this, it is ripe. If the shell is not hard like water bubbles, it is not yet ripe."
Jiang Xinyan peeled a groundnut and had three peanut kernels, she stuffed one for Chu Lixiang and another for Jiang Zihao.
Then she wondered whether the one in her hand should be eaten for herself or for Chu Lixuan to eat!
Before she could think clearly, Chu Lixuan put two peanut kernels into her mouth, she opened her mouth to take it, and without hesitation, put the one in her hand to the man.
Chu Lixuan happily tasted the newly baked peanuts, and the others followed them to pick a peanut and peel it off.
"It's too sunny outside, so we put the ripped peanuts back in the big dining room on a carriage, pick them out and dry them in the sun. The leaves and stems of the peanuts can be chopped, cooked and fed to pigs, or directly to horses and cattle. eat."
"Understood, I'll make arrangements." Wei Dabin knew that their father and wife were going to Yumenguan tomorrow.
"Everyone is too tired to do double robbing. You can rest for two days before tearing peanuts. There are no other crops to be harvested for the time being, so let's harvest them slowly."
"Don't worry about us, ma'am, giggling... We're not tired at all." Xu Feng likes to talk.
"Then also pay attention to rest, don't suffer from heat stroke, the sun in the north is more violent, you all remember, raw peanuts, just taste it.
Don't eat too much at one time, it's easy to have diarrhea, I'll wait and ask the kitchen to teach them to boil boiled peanuts for you to eat, it's very delicious. "
Jiang Xinyan also happened to cook more and took them to eat on the road. They also planted peanuts in their space, but there was nowhere to cook them.
"Oh! Brother Xiang, why are you sitting on the ground?" After Jiang Xinyan finished speaking, she saw Chu Lixiang sitting on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, I'm just not careful, hehe, I'm not careful." Chu Lixiang said shyly.
"Hahaha..." Makes those who saw the process laugh out loud.
