Chapter 9 Wheat Soil Eggs
At Maoshi the next day, the Green Bamboo Garden began to get busy.

Because of the urgent time, they will leave for the palace tomorrow, so Lvzhubaizhi got up early and packed the clothes that Xie Qingyu was going to bring to the palace to change.

Xie Qingyu didn't sleep for a long time either. After waking up, he washed up and ate some breakfast casually, then took the green bamboo and went to Da Furen's yard.

Although Xie Qingyu hadn't figured out what to do with the manor at the moment, but in the beginning of spring the seeds had to be planted, and the manor had to take back Zhuangzi first.

Otherwise, the harvest will be late, and I am afraid that the people who rented the Zhuangzi will plant it again.

Came to Da Furen's Yimei Courtyard, asked Da Furen if she was up, and heard Da Furen's maid Dongmei answer: "Respond to Miss Seven, get up, Madam is looking through the account books in the study."

"I'll pass it on, servant girl." After Dongmei said that, she was about to turn around and go to the study.

Xie Qingyu hurriedly stopped: "No need, I will go with you."

"Yes" Dongmei responded and led the way, "Miss Seven, this way."

When they came to the study of Yimei Courtyard, they saw the eldest lady talking with some stewards.

"Auntie, are you busy?" Xie Qingyu said hello after the conversation of several people came to an end.

The eldest lady, who was bowing her head in thought, heard Xie Qingyu's voice, and quickly raised her eyes to look out the door, "It's Qingyu who is here, come in quickly, and sit here."

After Xie Qingyu stepped into the door and sat down beside the eldest lady, the eldest lady patted Xie Qingyu's hand and said with a smile: "You came just in time, now all the grain in the village has been collected, and the rented money from the village has also been collected. , you just take a look from the side and learn how to look at the housekeeper."

"Auntie, there is no rush for this matter. While all the stewards are here, let the stewards take back all our farm, and we won't rent it out next year."

"No more renting. Qingyu's plan is to grow it ourselves? Although it is true that we can earn more money by growing our own grain and selling it at home, but this capital is dry and rainless, and the grain output is not high. Excluding the cost of hiring people to do the work, we can rent it out. Not much difference, so why bother."

Xie Qingyu had already expected that the aunt would say this, and asked: "Auntie, can this rice only be planted once a year, and the harvest is not good?"

"Is it possible to plant a few more seasons? Not just rice, no matter what kind of crop it is, it is only planted for one season."

The eldest lady looked at Xie Qingyu, and this little niece saw some weird things again from nowhere.

Ever since Xie Qingyu couldn't bear the shock of her father's death and fainted, although she lost her memory, she has been diligent in reading recently.

From time to time, all sorts of weird ideas would come up, and I found out that I read them from the farming books collected in the study in the front yard.

"Auntie, crops can only be grown for one season. That's inherent thinking. As long as you take care of it properly, you can actually grow it for many seasons."

"Besides, although rice is more expensive and delicious, wheat and earthen eggs are actually pretty good too."

"Most of these two things are only used to feed livestock, and very few poor people will use them as staple food. That's because everyone hasn't discovered their wonderful uses."

When it comes to this, Xie Qingyu feels a bit wasteful, wheat can be ground into flour to make noodles, pancakes, dumplings, steamed buns, etc..., a lot of super delicious things.

But here it is only used to feed chickens, pigs, cows and sheep. The reason is that the wheat fruit is not delicious no matter whether it is boiled or fried.

Moreover, through these few days of observation, Xie Qingyu found that the breeding industry here is very complete.

Almost everyone with a little spare money will raise some livestock, and there are also special farmers who raise pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks and geese.

Even her family's own manor raises some pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese for the family to eat.

Wheat and soil eggs are crops that have only been introduced in recent years. People's perception of these two things is that they are used to feed livestock.

Why, because wheat is the same as rice, it doesn't taste good if it is boiled without its shell.

Although it has a clear fragrance, it is still not comparable to rice.

It is not very tasty when fried like pea pod seeds.

So it is used to make fodder for cattle, sheep and horses.

As for the soil egg, it is the potato potato in this world.

It has a starchy taste when eaten raw, but it is not as sweet and glutinous as sweet potatoes when cooked.

The taste is not good, so only the poor will grow some for themselves, and the rest will be used to feed pigs, and most of the rice grown for sale is rice.

Rice is valuable, and many people buy it.

Although wheat and potatoes have high yields, they are not tasty, and most of them are only bought by farms to feed livestock.

If there are too many species, no one will buy them and they will not be able to sell them. After all, even if the livestock can be eaten, the base is not very large.

So, it's a sell.

What kind of food in this world does not need wheat flour? When she gets out the wheat flour and makes out all kinds of pancakes, biscuits, buns, steamed buns and so on in the world, people will know whether the wheat is delicious.

At that time, everyone must grow some wheat, or buy more. After all, wheat is one of the staple foods, but it has become the ration of livestock here.

As for potatoes, it was spread later than wheat, and it is said that it was spread just after the war ended not long ago.

If it had been earlier, it probably wouldn't have been the result.

After all, a lot of food in this dynasty was made with oil. If potatoes were made with oil, wouldn’t it taste good?
No, no, I have to ask my aunt to buy more potatoes and wheat.

Keep some seeds, and the rest will be eaten by the mansion, and some must be stored for opening a shop.

Don't you have an inn at home? The inn not only manages the accommodation, but also provides food.

When the finished product is trial-produced, it will be supplied to the inn to see the reaction.

Alas, it was the entry into the palace that restricted her.

She originally wanted to hang on to the fifth-rank official position given by the emperor, do business in Beijing, first maintain the family, and finally become bigger and stronger so she can seize the treasure and raise her own attributes.

As a result, as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, all her plans were disrupted.

"What is the magical effect of these things?" The eldest lady was a little skeptical.

In fact, she has also tried wheat. Besides cooking, she has also tried making snacks like glutinous rice, but the taste is not very good.

As for the earthen eggs, they just came in recently, and it is said that they can be boiled and eaten directly.

I also bought some at home to eat fresh, but the taste is not as good as sweet potatoes, neither sweet nor waxy.

Recently, the family was busy dealing with Xie Chenghua's funeral, and then because of Xie Qingyu's fainting.

Then the shop was suppressed again, and those who had to teach etiquette for Xie Qingyu who entered the palace hadn't been free until now.

"Ma'am, I've never heard of this fresh way of eating wheat, so let's ignore it for now. However, this earthy egg has been somewhat sought after by people recently."

"Looking at the popularity of earth eggs, more varieties may be able to sell well in the coming year. We don't know how well the wheat will sell, but this earth egg has a lot to offer."

The few stewards sitting beside Xie Qingyu had been sitting quietly since Xie Qingyu came in. Hearing Da Furen's doubts, they spoke out about the Tudan recently.
