Chapter 311: Poison Fight
Shopkeeper Yu frowned, thinking to himself, "What are these people doing in Yonghe Town?" He called a boy over and told him to go to Yunheng Palace and tell them.
Then he ordered the waiter to go upstairs and clean it up.
Shopkeeper Yu grumbled several times, "I have to go buy a few more sets of good tea sets."
Shen Yunyue in Baijia Village had just returned from the Yunheng Legion in Canghe.
The training ground is almost ready.
It will be put into use in two days.
"Young Madam. Chen Xiaogou came to say that the potato harvest is good." Mu Ya came to tell Shen Yunyue.
"I'll go take a look."
The people in Baijia Village did not plant Shen Yunyue's potatoes, only Chen Xiaogou planted them on more than one acre of land.
In their words, they have been farming for a lifetime.
She can't be inferior to a girl from the capital, right?
Now…….
These people got slapped in the face.
The people who went to harvest potatoes were all farmers from Baijia Village.
The men returned with wheelbarrows full of potatoes.
It alarmed the entire Baijia Village, young and old, men and women.
It was the first time I saw so many big potatoes.
"How many acres of land have been harvested today?" A white-haired old man in the village was leaning on a stick, looking at the potatoes with envy.
After all, there are more people and fields at the foot of the mountain.
I’m afraid he has harvested about a hundred acres of land?
The man pushing the cart was already regretting his decision, "Third Uncle, we went to work late today, and there weren't many people there.
These are potatoes from ten acres of land."
"What? Ten acres of land? That's impossible. Our ancestors have been working in the fields for generations. How can we not be as good at farming as a little girl?"
"The harvest this year is not good either."
"Third Grandpa is right. The people next to the boss's wife are powerful. But how can such land compare with ours?"
"That's totally unreasonable."
Chen Xiaogou's son is young and does well in school.
He happened to be nearby, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said:
"That's not unreasonable. Our teacher said that we can learn a lot from books."
“The knowledge of farming is in the books.”
The books Shen Yunyue asked them to read were not just books about the imperial examinations.
There are also many books on agriculture, water conservancy, and craftsmanship.
She hopes that the students taught at Baijia Village School will be all-rounders and do not have to take the imperial examination.
"Nonsense. If you're just farming, why bother studying?"
Chen Xiaogou's son blushed and said loudly:
"It's because you've studied that we've harvested so many potatoes. You don't study, you don't know how to farm, and you can only rely on the weather for your livelihood."
"You naughty child."
"Xiaogou, it's time to teach you a lesson."
Several elderly people in the village spoke up.
Chen Xiaogou's son ran away angrily. He wanted to go to Fu's house to ask the people working there.
Is he right, or are the old people in the village right?
The old men in the village followed the cart to the open space next to the Fu family.
The potatoes piled on the ground looked like a small mountain.
"We don't have to worry about running out of food. But there are so many potatoes, and we have to sell them as soon as possible." Some people began to worry about what to do if so many potatoes go bad.
An Yi was directing everyone to pour the potatoes on the ground.
Shen Yunyue and Mu Ya stood aside. She smiled and said, "Mu Ya, you'll be busy now."
"Young Madam, I have studied the recipe you gave me several times. I have also tried it a few times, and there must be no problem." Mu Ya said softly.
"We will harvest more potatoes next year. Besides processing them into vermicelli, we also need to store them."
Shen Yunyue nodded and said, "A few days ago, I asked Chen Xiaogou to lead people to dig a shade shed, and the large number of potatoes were stored directly in the shade shed."
After looking up some information, Shen Yunyue thought that the shade shed storage method was the best.
So they had people dig a shade shed more than three feet deep at the foot of the mountain to store potatoes.
Bury the potatoes in the ditch of the shade shed and cover them with soil. This way the potatoes can be preserved for a long time.
At the dinner table in the evening.
Potato is in a meeting, whether it is the Shen family or the Fu family.
Even Yunheng Hall and Yunheng Teahouse have added a few dishes made with potatoes.
At the Yunheng Legion next to the Cang River, the kitchen staff are busy cooking.
The steamer contains steamed potatoes, which are then used to make mashed potatoes.
French fries.
Spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
Pork stewed with potatoes, and scallion potato pancakes.
Ma Li sent a few more people to the kitchen to help.
"General, I heard that the potatoes planted by the Palace Master's wife have yielded an income of over 4,000 kilograms per mu."
Li Qi hummed mysteriously: "The potatoes in my hometown, even if I take good care of them, will yield less than a thousand kilograms per acre."
Ma Li pondered upon hearing this:
"The Palace Master's wife is a genius. If this method of growing potatoes is promoted, the people of our Great Zhou will not go hungry."
"I'm just afraid that people won't believe me."
"I heard that the people in Baijia Village didn't believe it. No one in the village was willing to spend money to buy the Palace Master's wife's potatoes to grow."
Ma Li was disdainful.
"A bunch of idiots."
The villagers were called stupid pigs.
At this moment, everyone gathered around the Fu family, watching Chen Xiaogou and his men gather the potatoes.
The maids from the Fu and Shen families were washing potatoes.
Shred the potatoes.
Steam potatoes in a steamer.
"Miss Muya, what are you doing?"
Mu Ya smiled calmly, "I'll make a potato feast tonight for everyone to try."
"Besides boiling and steaming potatoes, are there any other ways to eat them?"
"Yes, I have."
Seeing that the villagers were very curious, Mu Ya naturally did not hide anything.
Let them see it openly.
Grandma Chen looked at it for a while and was amazed: "My goodness, I was wondering why it smelled so good.
This will require several kilograms of oil.
There are also many kinds of seasonings that I have never seen before, and sesame oil and other ingredients are used to season the food."
"Third Auntie, you can just give up a few pounds of oil.
Now, your whole family works for the Shen family. How could you be reluctant to give up a few kilograms of oil? "
Someone in the village said enviously.
Some of them worked part-time for others, and some worked for the Lu and He families.
I always feel that it is not as good as working in the Fu family.
In addition, people who have worked for the Fu family for a long time are treated differently.
When Mrs. Chen San smiled, her two front teeth were exposed.
"We've only had enough food for a few days. We can't afford to use so much oil. We still need to save money to build a house."
"Don't you want to live in a brick house?"
The villagers fell silent.
Chen Xiaogou's family built a brick and tile house, a row of five blue brick houses with large doors.
It looks very grand.
"Think about it! Not everyone wants to have connections in Chen Xiaogou."
Mrs. Chen San laughed so hard that her teeth were not visible.
"Don't have any bad ideas. There will always be a chance to live in a brick house."
Mu Ya shouted from inside:
"Chen Sanpo. Come over and give me a hand."
"Hey, I'm here. Miss Muya, what can I do for you?"
"Third Auntie, please help me divide this pot of French fries into baskets and send them to the first and second wives of the Shen family."
Mu Ya carried the small basket herself and covered it with oil paper.
There was also a dish of homemade tomato sauce.
She carried the basket and came to the pavilion at the back.
Shen Yunyue, Ye Cang, Mo Youting, Mr. Ke and Uncle Yun sat together for dinner.
"Young Madam, I made some French fries. I've also given the recipe to the kitchen staff and Yonghe Town. Would you like to try them?"
"Our family really can't live without Mu Ya." Shen Yunyue smiled, "You should sit down and eat too."
"I'm not hungry now." Mu Ya put the basket in the middle of the table.
Mr. Ke picked up a French fry and dipped it in ketchup.
After eating, he didn't say anything and ate several in a row.
"Miss Mu Ya, would you like to become my disciple?" Mr. Ke felt that this girl was good in everything and could learn medicine.
The main thing is to have an apprentice who can cook.
Ye Cang drank the wine in his glass and laughed heartily:
"Uncle Master, are you looking for an apprentice? Or are you looking for an apprentice who can cook?"
"It's all the same."
Mu Ya curled the corners of her lips lightly, "Master Ke is teasing this servant again."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunyue looked at Mu Ya.
"Master Ke doesn't accept disciples easily. It would be fine if you followed him."
"This servant will follow the young lady for the rest of her life."
Mu Yafu left.
When she passed by Uncle Yun, she found that he had eaten a lot of spicy and sour potato shreds.
The corners of his lips curved up, and he felt very happy again.
Ye Cang glanced at the two of them and then looked away. "Uncle Master, what a pity. The little girl despises you, a moody old man."
Mr. Ke:……
"Don't say anything. I'm your uncle after all."
"Master uncle is teaching me a lesson. From now on I won't laugh at you anymore."
"Girl Shen, you gave me some powerful poisonous grass. I must poison this kid to death."
Ye Cang picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Master, if you want poisonous weeds, you can grow them yourself. Or you can go to Taiping Mountain and pick them."
Mr. Ke angrily threw a handful of medicine over.
Ye Cang jumped up and used medicine to detoxify himself.
The uncle and nephew began to fight over drugs.
One keeps poisoning, the other keeps detoxifying.
Shen Yunyue watched the fish in the pond turn over on their stomachs for a while, and then start jumping around again.
I joined them angrily.
A dose of modern anesthetic.
Both of them fell silent.
Shen Yunyue clapped her hands, frowned and said:
"Why would you, uncle and nephew, hurt the fish in my pond when you're fighting?"
"In that case, why don't you reflect on your mistakes?"
Mr. Ke is detoxifying.
Ye Cang was also thinking of a solution.
Shen Yunyue only took a quick glance and knew what they were doing?
At that moment, his face became serious.
"I urge you not to waste your energy. Even if you use all the antidotes in the world, they may not be able to cure the poison I have given you."
"Uncle Eight. Let's make tea somewhere else."
Uncle Yun stood up. He had also been affected by Mr. Ke’s poison just now.
Naturally, he would not persuade Shen Yunyue at this time.
Just give them a look that tells them to take care of themselves.
Went to the terrace on the second floor with Shen Yunyue.
Ye Cang felt bitter, but couldn't say it out loud.
Mr. Ke was speechless. After hearing what Shen Yunyue said, he completely stopped trying the antidote.
The entrance of Baijia Village.
A carriage came slowly.
The people in the carriage lifted the curtain and asked passers-by.
The passerby pointed in the direction of the Fu family and said a few words.
A silver ingot was thrown out of the carriage.
An San saw this scene and landed on the terrace.
"Young Madam, Eighth Master. We have guests."
"Guests? Who?" Shen Yunyue thought for a moment. Logically, no one would come here.
"I don't know." An San recounted what he had just seen.
Shen Yunyue pulled out a jar from her sleeve. "Let Mr. Ke and Ye Cang smell it."
"yes."
An San took the jar and left.
"Not going to teach them a lesson?" Uncle Yun chuckled.
"We'll settle the score with these two after the people who came leave." Shen Yunyue snorted.
