"Qing'er! Xiaomei! Xiaoying! It's time to learn the piano, and eat after learning!"
"Oh! Come here! Sister Cai, your skin is so fair again! I'm so envious!"
The three girls responded, flattered, sat in the Shenxu Pavilion and began to play the piano.
The three of Cao Cao looked at each other.
"My lord, melon seeds... are fragrant?"
"You ask me, I don't know! I haven't eaten it yet! Let's go and taste it together!"
Cao Cao beckoned, walked to the stone table unceremoniously, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and stuffed them into his mouth.
quack...quack...
"Hmm! It's delicious! It's just a little toothache! It even pricks your mouth! You guys try it too, you're welcome, treat it as your own!"
Seeing this, Xun Yu and Guo Jia curled their lips, saying the same thing as when we were polite!
So they stretched out their evil hands one after another, imitating Cao Cao and eating like this.
After the three of them ate a few handfuls, Cao Cao suddenly let out a loud cry!
"My lord, what's the matter with you?"
"Hiss... Emma! It's bleeding from the meat! It's delicious to eat, but it hurts a lot! Don't eat it!"
Cao Cao covered his mouth in pain.
At this moment, a tempting aroma came from the kitchen!
Xia Houzhe came out from inside carrying a few plates of fried golden pumpkin pie.
Cao Cao frowned, and immediately started asking the teacher for his crimes with the cheeky face!
Typical villains sue first.
"Brother! How did you get these pumpkin seeds? It's too poking, isn't it? My mouth is full of wounds!"
Seeing Cao Cao drinking his food and eating his food, and complaining all over his mouth, Xia Houzhe was not happy!
Just about to complain, he suddenly saw the way Cao Cao eats melon seeds, and couldn't help but sneer.
"You three... don't you have iron teeth and copper teeth? You don't peel the melon seeds when you eat them? Are you lonely?"
"Why...why do you still use shelling? No one taught us!"
Xun Yu spread his hands, his face full of innocence.
"Well, I admit that I haven't seen the world! But... it's really delicious!"
Xia Houzhe put the pumpkin pie down and picked up some melon seeds.
"Let me demonstrate it to you, watch it!"
After peeling the shell, I put the melon seeds in my mouth...
"Understood? I told you the three of you didn't know it and you still don't believe it! You can't even crack a melon seed!"
Cao Cao and the others were stunned for a moment, cursing themselves as idiots in their hearts!
But out of self-esteem, Cao Cao stubbornly refuted.
"Who said I can't? I just like the feeling of eating melon seeds! Hmph!"
After finishing speaking, he grabbed another handful and threw it into his mouth, because his mouth hurt, his complexion was distorted after eating!
Xun Yu and the two rolled their eyes, this is a life-threatening punishment!
Is it so difficult to admit that you have no knowledge?Look at me, there is no literati burden in admitting it!
Xia Houzhe ignored him, turned around and smiled.
"Actually, eating melon seeds is just to pass the time, and I also wrote a folk song, do you want to listen to it?"
The two nodded: "Sing and listen?"
Xia Houzhe coughed lightly and straightened his throat.
Suddenly, a lewd and exaggerated expression appeared on his face, he took out two small handkerchiefs in his hand, and twisted them one left and one right, just like singing Errenzhuan.
"Big girl grab a few handfuls, grab a few handfuls...a few handfuls of melon seeds..."
"The young man showed that black hair...that black hair...that black wool pants!"
……
After listening to this song, Cao Cao's whole person became bad.
What the hell is this!
Why does it sound so wrong?A little... outrageous?
But Guo Jia next to him became excited.
"Ahaha! Yuanyi's song is good, I like it! I'll teach those good brothers later!"
After finishing speaking, he hummed to himself, relying on his impressive IQ, Guo Jia learned this song in just one pass.
Later in the yard, I heard him practicing catching a few by himself, showing his black hair...
Cao Cao could already imagine that when the generals of the Cao camp met in the future, they would hold a handkerchief and grab a few... melon seeds!
They shook their heads, sat on the stone table with the group of women, and ate pumpkin pie.
"Hey! Husband, this pumpkin pie is delicious! It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's not too sweet! It also has a delicate fragrance!"
After Mi Zhen took a bite, her eyes lit up instantly!
"Haha! Is it delicious? But the fried pumpkin pie is easy to get fat!"
"I'll fry pumpkin for you tonight! You can lose weight!"
Xia Houzhe laughed loudly, every time these women eat what he made and are so happy, he will also become very happy!
But... Hearing his words, the faces of all the girls fell down.
Even the delicious pumpkin pie was put down by them.
A group of women squinted their eyes, revealing a strong murderous look, staring at Xia Houzhe fiercely.
"Husband, what do you mean by that? Are we fat? You want us to lose weight? Are you despising us?"
Xia Houzhe was stunned for a while, and the cold sweat broke out on his back in an instant!
This...is a proposition!
I seem to... poked a hornet's nest?
"Uh that... I never meant that, I just..."
"I don't listen, I don't listen! It's too late for you to say anything!"
The girls covered their ears and shook for a while, the neat movements were as rehearsed.
Xia Houzhe sighed, and could only go forward to coax them.
Cao Cao, Dian, Wei, Xun, and Guo Jia looked at each other, and each of them hid aside with a plate of pumpkin pie.
Eat and watch a play!
"Tsk tsk! This woman! It's really tormenting to be coquettish! Fortunately, I don't have a woman!"
"You don't understand this! A good-looking woman is called coquettish, and an unattractive woman is called Sapo!"
After that, it took Xia Houzhe more than ten minutes to coax several girls and touch the lip marks on his face.
He puffed out his chest, and found Cao Cao and the others with a bragging face.
"Oh! There are so many women here, they are just clingy! From time to time, I have to act coquettishly and be affectionate!"
"Pull it down! Don't pretend to us! Oh, by the way, what is the pumpkin you are talking about? Give me some, and I will ask your sister-in-law to make pumpkin pie when I go back! It's delicious!"
Cao Cao curled his lips, let us save face?We are not blind!
Xia Houzhe pulled out with his backhand, and a pumpkin about seven or eight catties appeared in his hand.
"Why, didn't you steal this thing from my field?"
"Here you are! This guy is a good thing! It's especially hungry! Not only can it be used for cooking, but it can also be used for making snacks, and it can also be used to feed pigs!"
"Did you see the dozen or so pigs in the pigpen in the back mountain of my house? They all grew up eating pumpkins and sweet potatoes. The meat is delicious!"
Looking at the round pumpkin on the table, Cao Cao and the others blinked.
"Brothers don't call it stealing! That's called taking! Who knows where you planted it? I haven't even seen it!"
"Next time, remember to put a brand on each crop and mark the name and yield, so that I can do things more conveniently!"
Cao Cao said without guilt, and patted the orange-yellow pumpkin.
"Is this... a pumpkin? It's hungry? Can it be cooked and fed to pigs? Isn't that similar to a sweet potato!"
Xia Houzhe nodded: "Pumpkin can't be a staple food for a long time, but it can be eaten together! The main output is large, and it's especially useful for feeding pigs! It can make pigs grow faster!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao grasped the point at once!
But he was not very excited, because he had been hit by sweet potatoes and rice several times before, and he had a certain degree of immunity.
"Large output? How big is it?"
"Well... the average one mu is three thousand catties! If you put melons on the shelf, and then apply fertilizer to control the bugs, you can charge up to ten thousand catties."
Xia Houzhe replied lightly.
Pumpkin was only introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty. Because of its good taste and huge output, it is widely loved by the people!
Even the animals love to eat it!
Hearing this, Cao Cao's immunity instantly collapsed!
Shocked with Xun Yu and Guo Jia!
"What! It can reach tens of thousands of catties? Damn! This is a god!"
"If I grow some pumpkins, wouldn't it be possible to expand my pig farm again?"
"At that time, with so many pigs...then all the people under my command will have meat to eat!"
Chapter 438 The lord is in trouble!Chen Liu has smallpox
Cao Cao is very happy!
The last time he got the cheats on raising pigs from Xiahouzhe, he opened a large-scale farm!
There are thousands of pigs in it!
This can be regarded as his trial breeding. If he raises well, he will continue to expand the scale!
And Hua Tuo and his two apprentices also had something to use, and turned into veterinarians...
Specially used to castrate piglets, squatting in the pigsty every day, the master and apprentice are extremely busy!
Under the training of thousands of pigs, Hua Tuo's knife skills became extremely superb!
It was done in one go!
Even if you ask him to carve a flower, he can do it perfectly!
Cao Cao was excited for a while, if he had pumpkins, he would be able to reduce a lot of farming costs!Wonderful!
"My dear brother! You are really awesome when it comes to farming! You are a professional!"
Cao Cao looked at the pumpkin with emotion!
Such a high-yield thing, like sweet potato and potato hybrid rice, is a species that has never been heard of!
I haven't even seen it in the Western Regions or overseas!
But the young man in front of him can easily take it out, this... is definitely a fairy seed brought down from the sky!
Seeing Cao Cao's shocked look, Xia Houzhe laughed and scolded the bumpkin!
"No fuss, you can take it if you want it! There are fresh melon seeds just squeezed out on the wall! You can save them and plant them next year!"
"The ones on the table are useless. I have fired them and they are already cooked. They won't work!"
