Chapter 20: Visit the farmland

Pork bone soup, braised pork, fried pork slices with spring bamboo shoots, braised fish, shredded potatoes, four dishes and one soup were placed on the table. The peculiar aroma was floating in the air, and Zhou Yu couldn't help swallowing.
Zhou Yu was not allowed to drink when he was still young, so Shen Yanbei poured a small bowl of rice wine for himself and Gu Changfeng.
The aroma of that rice wine is not as strong as that of modern white wine. The ancient winemaking technology is limited, and the farmers' winemaking still stays at the brewing of koji, and the wine produced is not high. Therefore, Shen Yanbei does not worry that his newly recovered body will be affected by alcohol. This alcohol is only a few degrees, even modern beer.
Putting a piece of fish into Gu Changfeng's bowl, Shen Yanbei greeted Zhou Yu and said, "You're welcome."
"Yes!" Zhou Yu stood up straight, staring at the fragrant dishes, feeling dizzy and unreal.
Gu Changfeng clipped a chopsticks potato shreds to Shen Yanbei, and said dullly: "This is delicious, crispy and refreshing and very appetizing." After speaking, Gu Changfeng bowed his head and grilled rice without speaking.
Seeing his reddish ear tips, Shen Yanbei was so happy to pick the potato shreds into his mouth, and smiled silly: "If you can find peppers, you can make hot and sour potato shreds for you next time. ."
"Okay." Gu Changfeng also laughed, but he wrote down the matter of looking for pepper in his heart. Shen Yanbei had been nagging peppers in front of him many times. He also wanted to know what the pepper was like, and what kind of delicious it could make, that would make Shen Yanbei so obsessed.
When Zhou Yu heard the conversation between the two, his eyes widened in surprise.
What does "make it for you next time"?
Details that hadn't been noticed just now suddenly appeared before his eyes.
He and Master were practicing martial arts, and Shen Xiucai asked to eat...
This meal...
This meal...
"Why don't you move the chopsticks? The food is not good when it is cold." Shen Yanbei kindly reminded him when he looked panicked and restless.
"Yes!" Zhou Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, not daring to think further.
Seeing that both Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng moved their chopsticks, Zhou Yu dared to reach out to pick up the dishes. He was embarrassed to just pick up the meat, so he picked up the potato shreds that Gu Changfeng said was appetizing.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, the suitable acid immediately stimulated his taste buds and made him shine, and he even took two mouthfuls of rice.
With the second chopsticks, Zhou Yu stretched out to the braised pork that made his mouth water.
The shiny braised pork trembled at the moment when the chopsticks picked it up, and even Zhou Yu's heart trembled. He carefully clamped the meat into the bowl, hesitated and took a small bite. For a moment, he was taken aback, and then he couldn't wait to stuff the rest into his mouth.
"It's delicious!" Zhou Yi almost burst into tears when he ate, and the wonderful taste that gradually made him wish he could swallow his tongue.
Shen Yanbei smiled lightly and asked Zhou Yu: "We want to find someone to help make two clothes and bedding. Do you know which aunt in the village has good craftsmanship?"
Zhou Yu was stuffing the fish in his mouth and hurriedly swallowed the fish when he heard this: "Yes, the widow of the Li family and Aunt Liu are both good at craftsmanship. I will ask you later." After speaking, I was emotional, why is there no fish? A bit of earthy smell? On the contrary, the salty fragrance overflows so that you can't stop the chopsticks?
"Well, if you are good at craftsmanship, you don't need to charge more craftsmanship money." Shen Yanbei said smoothly and put a piece of braised pork for Gu Changfeng.
Zhou Yu feels complicated. He had witnessed how bad Shen Yan treats his master before, but now when you look at the two of them, you will give me some food, and I will give you some food, and the lingering affection flows between the eyes. He is not blind, so he can see that they are in a good relationship.
He didn't know how Shen Xiucai suddenly changed so much, but such a change is undoubtedly good for everyone.
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't dare to pick up food, Shen Yanbei once again acted as a hospitable host, and smiled: "I have enough food, just eat it."
Zhou Yu smiled embarrassedly, and then let go a little bit. The delicious food is in front of him. Since Shen Xiucai has said that, what else is he worried about? So Zhou Yu stretched out his chopsticks without hesitation.
Zhou Yu doubted his life after a meal.
too delicious! Why is it so delicious?
Why is the food at Shen Xiucai's house so delicious? Could it be that the rice cooked by the talented master is extraordinary?
Zhou Yu stopped as soon as this thought came out.
In the end, Zhou Yu said goodbye to Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng with a blushing face.
Looking at the empty rice bowls and the clean dishes on the table, Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng glanced at each other, and they both couldn't laugh or cry.
He and Gu Changfeng had finished eating. Zhou Yu saw that there were leftovers of rice and vegetables, so he poured the rice directly onto the dish, mixed with the juice, and ate them all.
Sure enough, it's half a boy who eats poor man!
After eating, it was still early, and the sun was still hanging on the other side of the mountain. Shen Yanbei took Gu Changfeng out for a walk for a walk. Instead of going to the village, they walked towards the ridge.
"When Uncle Zhong hires someone, we have to start planting the land in our house. Now we will recognize the land boundary." The original owner's eyes were blackened, and he didn't even know where his land was. He wanted to live with his wife. People can't make this kind of confusion.
"Shen...Shen Xiucai?" The dark-skinned man yelled hesitantly when he saw them from a distance.
Shen Yanbei replied with a smile, "Third Brother Wu." This third brother Wu is named Wu Xing, the third oldest in the family, and he is a kind person.
Wu Sange was stunned, and asked casually, "Where are you going?" When speaking, he couldn't help but keep looking at Shen Yanbei with curious eyes, as if there were flowers on his face.
In the past two days, the most talked about in and out of the village was Shen Jiaxiu. They all said that this Chongxi was done. Not only did Shen Xiucai get better, he also improved his temperament. He was humble and polite to others and treated his husband's love Youjia. He didn't quite believe it at first, after all, Jiangshan is easy to change and hard to change, but Shen Xiucai in front of him is really different! You can greet him easily!
The other party's gaze was too straightforward, and Gu Changfeng couldn't help frowning.
Shen Yanbei patted his hand, and said warmly: "This is not about to plant seeds, take his wife to the field to see." He is not surprised that the other party looks at him like this, the original owner has his own identity, and has never been to the field, let alone down. After crossing the ground, he suddenly ran into the field, which was indeed quite suspicious.
Wu Sange seemed to have noticed that he was too rude, so he turned his gaze back, and chuckled twice: "It's the thing, we people count on the grain of the real estate for a year to live..." That said, Wu Sange paused: "I heard people say that you have taken back all the land you rented out of your house. Are you going to plant it yourself?"
Shen Yanbei nodded.
The smile on Wu Sange's face faded, he glanced at Gu Changfeng, frowned and said, "You have a lot of land? You don't work, how can you grow it by your husband alone?"
Gu Chang's cover is slightly cold. Shen Yanbei shook his hand, and then smiled: "You don't need him to go to the ground, the land invites people to plant it, and he can take care of me at home."
Although Shen Yanbei was smiling on his face, he scolded the original owner again in his heart.
To your uncle! Everyone in the village knew that his wife was enslaved!
"Invite someone to plant well, and don't delay spring ploughing!" Wu Sange put the on his shoulders and asked Shen Yanbei, "Do you know where your home is?"
Shen Yanbei smiled embarrassedly: "I don't know, but I brought the title deed."
"I will take you two laps?" Wu San Ge pointed to the continuous field in front of him. "Our village has quite a lot of land. If you haven't been to the land, I'm afraid you can't find it."
Shen Yanbei was overjoyed: "Then there will be Third Brother Lao!" It is better for someone to lead the way than blindly!
"No effort, no effort." Wu Sange waved his hand. Although he is warm-hearted, he will not put a hot face on a cold buttocks. This Shen Xiucai looked good, and he was willing to go through it.
So Shen Yanbei dragged his own husband and followed Wu San Ge around the farmland.
Shenjia Village is near the river and backed by mountains. Dongjiang water has nurtured fertile land and hard-working people on both sides of the bank. The villages on the edge introduced Dongjiang water to irrigate the land, grow rice, and breed fish and shrimp. Gradually, this area has become a famous land of fish and rice. And Shenjiacun is only one of several villages, and it is also one of the lowest in strength, because Shenjiacun has no wealthy households and no celebrities. As the only talent in Shenjiacun, the original owner had given him a lot of face, but it was a pity that they had nothing to do with the original owner. After Shen Yanbei passed through, he tried his best to rectify his reputation and treat others with courtesy. The disappointed villagers gave birth to some hope for the awakened Shen Xiucai-that Li Jiacun who bullied others had a man, Shen Xiucai, you You have to work harder too!
At present, Shen Yanbei didn't know that the people in the village also had this idea. He looked at the fields in front of him that were divided into grid shapes of different sizes, and he only felt that the sky was high and the earth was wide.
Spring plowing is coming soon, and most of the land in each house is ready. Those who want to grow rice are soaked in water, looking from a distance like a small mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
The paddy field of the Shen family is close to the river, and a canal was dug to introduce Dongjiang water. Irrigation is very convenient. Moreover, the paddy field of 8 acres is in one area. The land is flat and the soil is fertile. It is a rare high-quality paddy field.
"What are you planning to plant? If you are planting rice, you have to hurry up and put the ground in water..." The Shen family's land was not trimmed, and there were half a straw on the two acres of land.
"They all grow rice." He had planned to grow rice before, but after seeing the environment of the paddy field, he had an idea in his mind.
"Third Brother Wu, how much grain can be produced by planting one season of rice on this acre of land?" He has planted rice seedlings in the fields, but modern farming conditions are not comparable to those in ancient times with low productivity. He needs to understand clearly and plan carefully. . In addition, the original owner didn't work hard and didn't distinguish the grains, and didn't know anything about farming. This Wu Sange was a good farmer, and he happened to ask him for advice.
"The seedlings are good, and they are well taken care of. A good paddy field can yield 400 jin per mu..."
Shen Yanbei made a comparison in his heart, and then asked Wu Sange how to plant seedlings, when to fertilize and water.
Wu Sange was surprised and excited. Unexpectedly, one day I would be asked by the master of scholarship, and immediately knew that there was no limit to words.
Shen Yanbei immediately wrote down silently.
Gu Changfeng looked at the young man with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and his heart waved. The young man is dressed in plain and elegant green clothes and has a thin body, but his eyes are clear and bright, and his brows and eyes are smiling while talking. When he hears something interesting, his clear eyes will be squinted...
Lowering his eyelashes to cover the turbulent light under his eyes, Gu Changfeng turned his head and looked around. I noticed that the sky was getting dark, and the fields were getting cold.
Shen Yanbei was thin, and the Spring Festival Gala was very chilly. Gu Changfeng stretched out his hand and pulled his clothes without hesitation.
"?" Shen Yanbei turned around and asked him with his eyes.
"It's going to fog up, go back." The farmland is near the river, and the temperature is very low at night, and it will fog up at night.
"Yes, yes! It's getting late, Shen Yan, go back quickly!" Wu Sange quickly agreed. It was sensible for a while, but I didn't notice that it was so late, and now I felt hungry when I stopped.
Shen Yanbei smiled embarrassedly: "It's delayed your home for dinner."
"Don't delay, don't delay!" Wu Sange said with a smile, holding up his hoe, "If there is something you don't understand in the future, just come to me!"
"Then thank Brother Wu very much." Shen Yan Beimu was grateful.
"What are you polite? Everyone from the village folks!" Wu Sange waved and walked away without looking back. He had to go home quickly and talk to his mother-in-law, this thing that Shen Xiucai got better is true! Moreover, they always thought that the scholarly master who read only the sages and sages would also read the agricultural books. Although the knowledge of agricultural affairs was somewhat different in practice, Shen Xiucai was not like they thought they could only read books...
Seeing Wu Sange away, Shen Yanbei took his wife's hand: "Let's go back too."
Gu Changfeng said "um" and let him take him to the house.
The young man's fingers were thin and cold, and Gu Changfeng couldn't help but wrap him with his warm palm.
Shen Yan looked to the north and saw that the man's side face was dyed indistinctly red in the ain twilight, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.
