Chapter 118 Great changes in the family
Du Zi Teng went over to discuss with his wife.
When the wife heard this, she said, "Go, Lord Governor is a life-saving grace to us. Besides, men can stay at home all day long. Now that you have the chance, you go. The family is fine, but this young man is three years old, and his two big treasures are six or seven years old, so they are both worry-free. My parents-in-law can still help."
Du Zi Teng knew very well that he had to continue giving faces. There were not many governors who could be so polite these days.
Du Zi Teng came over, gave a deep tribute, and said, "The villain is willing to go to Xuzhou to serve the general."
Lu Bu reached out and pulled Du Ziteng up: "Super Du quickly asked me, Lu Bu. It was for the people of Xuzhou to do more research and training, and then we will dress up in Xuzhou with birds and flowers, and the fruits will be lush."
The soldiers were stewing pork, and Lu Bu talked with Du Zi Teng about grafting technology in the nursery.
Fruit tree grafting technology has appeared in the Qin and Han dynasties, but it has not been widely promoted and applied.
Du Zi Teng's technique is quite skillful, and he can do bud joints, but it is a little more complicated. He needs to be tied with twine first, and then wrapped with a layer of waterproof oil paper on the outside.
The Xuzhou Plain is vast, but there are many mountainous areas, especially Dongguan, Langya, and some areas of the East China Sea, where mountains are everywhere.
Lu Bu plans to develop pears, apricots, dates, peaches, walnuts, chestnuts, peppercorns, etc.
Most of the other fruit trees except peppercorns have to be grafted, which is why Lu Bu recruited Du Zi Teng.
Du Zi Teng proposed: "Sir, the mountainous areas in Dongguan and Langya should be mainly dried fruits and auxiliary fruits. Because the road is difficult to walk, the fruits are heavy, it is difficult to transport them out. The dried fruits of walnut and jujubes are stored for a long time, so you don't have to be too anxious to sell them, which is still good."
"It makes sense, it should be like this. Dried fruits are the main ones and fruits are the auxiliary ones. Places close to the urban area can guide people to a variety of fruits, and remote mountainous areas are naturally mainly dried fruits."
It turns out that there have been constant wars in recent years, and there are very few pears in Zaoli Village sold, but the jujubes sold well. However, there are problems with the jujube trees, that is, they love to have crazy date diseases.
Three days later, the Langya recruit training camp has recruited about 10,500 people, which has been considered as completing the task.
This is handed over to Cheng Lian.
Lu Bu led a thousand iron cavalry back to Xuzhou.
When we set off, the wheat harvest was harvesting in Xuzhou, and now when we came back, the corn in the wheat field had already risen.
Time is too fast, twenty days are in a flash.
Qin Yilu was wearing an oversized hat and was directing the garrisons to farm and weed under the tree.
Lu Bu turned over and dismounted, and Qin Yilu hurried over to salute.
"Master, you are finally back. Some things are about to come to you these days."
"Look for me? What's the matter."
"Now in addition to our own military farming, 100,000 acres of wheat stubble Wenhou rice have been promoted around Xuzhou. The sowing of Wenhou rice has been smooth and it has been completely over. However, the small cabbage seeds provided by the lord are gone, and the 1,000 acres of planted in early spring have been eaten. One thousand wheat fields are empty."
"Oh, it's okay. When I go back, I'll be transferred to the logistics department. Is there anything big about Xuzhou during this period?" Lu Bu asked.
Qin Yilu said: "Nothing big is going to happen, everything is safe."
Various wild vegetables in the vegetable field have declined, and now the protagonists have become eggplant, peppers, beans, etc. Especially the eggplant production is too fierce. On the edge of the eggplant, hundreds of women are cutting eggplant to dry and dry, and keeping it for processing in winter to eat.
Qin Yilu pointed to the huge area not far away and said, "Another one thousand acres of peppers were planted there, and the seedlings were only soaring. The harvest was just around the corner."
"Why have you planted so many chili peppers? Do everyone love it?"
"Mrs. Diao Chan sent people to pull two or three carts of chili peppers every day. The spicy sauce shop founded by the lord should have a large output."
I haven't been home for twenty days, Diao Chan hasn't overturned her home, right?
Go back and have a look.
Everything in the family was safe, even though there were not many maids, they were basically transferred to the hot sauce shop behind.
Lu Bu saw Yan lying on a recliner and basking in the sun.
"Madam, this is a hot day, aren't you afraid of the sun being damaged?"
Seeing Lu Bu come back, Yan stood up and said, "I was confused just now and didn't notice that my husband is back."
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem. Why are you basking in the sun here?"
"I am old now, and the doctor checked and said that my yang energy was a little weak, so I could let the sun be more sunny so that the child born would not be weak."
Yan is in his thirties and is considered an older mother.
"The lady will still be on the sun in the morning or evening. Do more exercises, so don't worry too much. The sun is too fierce and it will be unbeautiful if it is burned."
Yan felt happy. After all, he was an old husband and wife, and he was quite considerate.
Lu Bu walked around the house and was not at home.
"Madam, where have the others gone?"
Yan said: "The second wife has not come back to her parents' home yet. Diao Chan is processing spicy sauce in the backyard. The Mi family caravan likes this spicy sauce very much and sells it very popular. Diao Chan said she wants to earn more war horses for the general. The new girl Yan came to see Diao Chan's processing workshop and came to me and said she wanted to do something to share her worries. Seeing that she had nothing to do, I also opened a fried shrimp shop next to her.
There are more than a dozen big prawns in a white porcelain jar, soaked in rapeseed oil. They taste very good, but unfortunately the price is expensive and most people can't afford it."
Unexpectedly, the family has changed a lot during this period.
Diao Chan is very vigorous and exchanges hot sauce for horses. This business is good.
When Lu Bu came to the spicy sauce shop, Diao Chan was instructing the packing, a simple box of poplar wood boards, filled with forty bottles in one box.
"Madam, thank you for your hard work during this period." Lu Bu came over and greeted.
Diao Chan was startled and looked up and found that it was Lu Bu who was back.
"My husband is back, have you eaten?"
"I just came back and haven't eaten it yet. Didn't I arrange for you to store the hot sauce and keep it for the soldiers to eat for the winter, why did it be sold?" Lu Bu asked.
Diao Chan said: "I made the peppers for me, so I gave them to Wang Heng. Wang Heng gave some to the soldiers to try, and they happened to be handed over to Mi Hong. The peppers are only available in Xuzhou, which is rare and tight. The Mi family opened a can of fifteen cents per jar, and they asked for a lot of goods. Wang Heng considered the price of the soldiers, and it would be better to sell them to change horses than to eat them, so he sold them."
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the gap between the rich and the poor was extremely large. Eighty percent of the population controlled 20% of the wealth, and two hundred% controlled 80% of the wealth.
Mi Hong is doing business for those two adults. As long as the things are good and have special features, they are not afraid of being expensive.
Diaochan spicy sauce is well made, it tastes spicy, with a white white porcelain bottle, and a label is posted on it, which is printed with Diaochan dancing.
The writing is also relatively concise, made in Xuzhou.
