Chapter 537 Peanuts

As soon as Jiang Xinyan finished speaking, Wei Dabin and Nie Cimeng had such expressions on their faces, and the others were so shocked that they could put eggs in their mouths.

Everyone was curious again, and Jiang Xinyan told them the process of Chu Lixuan defeating the Western Chu general Ha Chi.

Her voice was sweet and eloquent, her words were stunned, and when she heard everyone, it was like being there.

Everyone's worship of their grandfather has risen to a higher level, 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 and sighed, with 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 traitorous officials can deprive and divide the family property of the Xihou Mansion, but the war in the south is not over yet.

Xi Chu has not completely let go of 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 Zhennan Hou is not exiled, God will not let Grandpa Locust come down to harm the crops, and Nanman will 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 with their family, 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 others to sleep on the side of the couch. He can only 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 couldn't do it, so the emperor followed the flow and assigned Duke Dingbei to the northern border.

The emperor knew that the King 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 King Zhenbei's braid, 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 away by their master.

Dai Yuntao's father still worried and told Dai Yuntao in the letter that if Dingxi Hou was murdered by a traitor again, I was afraid that Dongchen Kingdom would end.

Helpless, his father was a soft-spoken person, without 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, the Marquis of Dingbei, did not want to return to this sad place.

The Dai family has guarded the north for generations. Eighteen years ago, the emperor took military power and ordered them to go to the capital.

The Duke of Dingbei also has a name for nothing, and the good son of the younger generation is also Dai Yuntao.

This time, Dai Yuntao was able to persuade his father, but he was tricked 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, it was time to have 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, Jiang Xinyan and the others in Lanni Town have the best planting of fallen flowers, and the yield is abundant. Even in modern groundnuts, groundnuts are widely eaten as a nut.

Groundnuts can be used to extract peanut oil, and the waste from the extracted oil can also be used as raw materials for cosmetics such as soap and hair oil.

All these have to wait for Jiang Xinyan and his wife to come back from Yumen Pass. Chu Lixuan has already drawn a picture according to Jiang Xinyan's description and arranged for Luo Yansong to do the press.

Jiang Xinyan and his wife were followed by Wei Dabin, Zhao Yu, Dai Yuntao, Zhou Daniu, and other weaklings like Jiang Zihao, Chu Lixiang, Song Mingjiang, and Wei Wenbin.

"Hey! Look carefully, groundnuts are mainly determined by 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.

Pull a bag to show you, the outer skin of the husk is hardened, the texture of the network veins is deepened and clear, the sponge inside the husk is dark brown, the kernels are full and full, and the seed coat is brightly colored. "

"Ma'am, is this land planted at the same time and mature at the same time?" Zhao Yu also easily pulled out a pocket.

"Yes, so you are not sure whether it is mature or not, just pull it out and take a look. If it looks like this, it is mature. If the shell is not hard like water bubbles, it is not mature."

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 will 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 pulling peanuts. For the time being, there are no other crops that need to be harvested, so let's harvest them slowly."

"Madam, don't worry about us, 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, just taste the raw peanuts.

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 no place 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 embarrassingly.

"Hahaha..." The person who saw the process laughed.
