Chapter 496 Shen Yuan and Su Wan went up the mountain
Realizing this, Liu Daping felt that he would soon be unable to walk.
The few villagers who stayed behind just watched the fun from afar, not daring to get close, and did not hear what they said. When they saw Liu Lizheng suddenly stop, they became anxious.
How could the village head fail at the critical moment? He is a distinguished person from the capital, so hurry up and do not be cowardly.
Fortunately, the nobles didn't seem to notice him. Seeing the nobles walking away, Liu Daping came to his senses and quickly mustered up the courage to chase after them.
"Hey, that mountain in front, are those flowers blooming on the hillside yellow?"
Eunuch Li saw the rapeseed terraces at a glance. The whole mountain was yellow. He had never seen such a scene before and was stunned.
This is too beautiful.
It is more beautiful than any other beautiful scenery picture. I am afraid no one can paint the beauty of this scenery.
It would be a pity if he didn't see it with his own eyes, so Eunuch Li looked at it for a long time.
Yun Ran and others also stopped to watch. They had seen this scenery before, but every time they saw it, they were reluctant to take their eyes away.
"This is rapeseed flower, used for oil extraction. Rapeseed oil is more fragrant than lard and has a higher oil yield."
County Magistrate Xu explained that he had already reported the rapeseed matter, but oil plants are not food, so they obviously did not receive much attention.
"Oil press? Oh, yes, yes, I think I heard your majesty mention it. That's great. Although there is lard, it is too expensive. If rapeseed oil can be cheaper, wouldn't ordinary people be able to eat oil?"
Eunuch Li was the emperor's personal eunuch. Occasionally, the emperor would mention these things. Eunuch Li had heard them, but at the time he didn't seem to think anything of it.
But when the rape flowers suddenly appeared before his eyes and were so spectacular, he felt that growing these oil-bearing plants would be just as useful as growing grain crops.
Although it is possible to cook vegetables without oil, people would not have the strength to do so without it.
This oil is still indispensable.
The group watched for a while before going to the workshop.
At this time, Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan were actually on the mountain.
It’s spring now, and the fruit tree seedlings in Su Wanwan’s space can be planted.
Because I had to take it out of the space, I didn't call other people or let anyone else see it.
After finishing their breakfast early in the morning, they went up the mountain directly from their doorstep, and after a circle they arrived at the hilltop they bought.
This hill was bought when she first traveled through time and asked Shen Yuan to buy wasteland to grow sweet potatoes. It has never been developed.
Now that the weather is good, it is time to plant fruit trees.
The fruit tree seedlings had been cultivated in the space before, and a lot of fruit trees were prepared at that time.
Pear trees, peach trees and apple trees are the most basic.
There were also apricots and cherries, and grapes had seeds, but there were no strawberries, which she loved.
When they reached the top of the mountain, she was not in a hurry to take out the fruit tree. It was a rare occasion that Shen Yuan took her up the mountain, so the two of them just walked around the top of the mountain.
As a result, when she turned around, Su Wanwan discovered a lot of fresh shepherd's purse.
It's everywhere in the mountains.
As soon as she saw this dish, she started craving for dumplings.
Dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse are very delicious.
The two of them simply started digging up wild vegetables.
"Shen Yuan, I need to go for a walk later. I've read a lot of novels before, where the heroines go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and medicinal herbs. I've never done that before."
Su Wanwan said excitedly while digging shepherd's purse.
It's true. After traveling through time for so long, she has hardly ever been to the mountain.
The farming articles she read were not only about digging wild vegetables, but also about hunting rabbits and pheasants, and even discovering all kinds of delicious fruits, including chestnuts and pine nuts.
Su Wanwan became interested. After digging shepherd's purse, she asked Shen Yuan to take her for a walk.
Shen Yuan was helpless. He didn't want her to dig the wild vegetables, so he dug them himself and could fill a basket in a short time.
Not only did my wife insist on doing it herself, she was also planning to do something else.
but.......
"I come to this mountain often, how can there be so many things to get? Even mushrooms and wild vegetables have long been dug up by the villagers. As for the medicinal herbs and fruits you mentioned, how can they be so easy to find?"
What Shen Yuan said is the truth.
Because the two of them had already walked around, not to mention ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, they didn't even see a chestnut tree.
As for the fruits, there were two of them. Su Wanwan didn't recognize them, so Shen Yuan picked some for her to eat, which almost made her teeth sour.
Fortunately, they picked up some mushrooms. Su Wanwan naturally didn't know whether the mushrooms were poisonous or not, and Shen Yuan knew that they were just ordinary mushrooms.
If she were to go up the mountain by herself, she probably wouldn't get anything, and she wouldn't dare to do it.
Su Wanwan gave up.
Shen Yuan did catch two pheasants and a nest of six rabbits.
Well, it’s been a fruitful harvest.
She couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, she traveled through time and met Shen Yuan. If she had gone to a poorer place, she wouldn't be able to make a living by relying on the mountain.
After all, she didn't know mushrooms or wild vegetables, and she didn't have the luck to have animals crash into her and die in front of her. It was impossible for her to make a fortune by relying on others.
After finishing all these, Su Wanwan threw the fruit tree out.
The two also decided on a place to plant the fruit trees. They planned to roast a rabbit and a pheasant for lunch on the mountain, and then plant the trees in the afternoon before going down the mountain.
As a result, they had just skinned the rabbit and hadn't even started the fire when they heard someone calling them.
The two of them quickly packed up their things. They had brought a bamboo basket with them, so they put the wild animals and vegetables into the basket, which Shen Yuan carried on his back.
It turned out that it was the villagers who came to see them. When they heard that a noble from the capital was here to see them, the two of them looked at each other tacitly, and without saying anything more, they prepared to follow him down the mountain.
Su Wanwan felt quite regretful that she didn't get to experience the roasted wild rabbit in the mountains.
Seeing his wife's regretful face, Shen Yuan couldn't help but touch her head:
"I'll bring you here next time."
When Su Wanwan saw that there were still villagers here, she glared at him fiercely.
Several villagers were already immune to Shen Yuan's doting on his wife. They just smiled and walked to a place where they saw a few saplings lying on the ground, and asked:
"Brother Yuan, are you planning to plant a tree? What kind of tree is this?"
Shen Yuan did not hide it:
"They are some fruit trees, brought from somewhere else."
When the guys heard this, they immediately laughed and said:
"Oh, we have to plant these quickly, Brother Yuan. You said you didn't ask us for help with such a small matter as planting trees. You and sister-in-law should go down the mountain first, and we will plant these."
"Yes, Brother Yuan, why don't you call us? Your sister-in-law is not a capable worker. It would be too slow for you to plant the crops alone. Leave it to us. Go down quickly. The nobleman from the capital must have good news for you."
The enthusiasm of each of them was so overwhelming that Shen Yuan and his wife could hardly handle it.
But those fruit trees do need to be planted quickly.
The quantity was not too large, and Shen Yuan originally thought that he could finish planting them by himself in two hours. And it just so happened that his wife had wanted to go up the mountain to take a look.
He was happy to spend a day alone with his wife, so he didn't bring anyone else.
Since they want to help, so be it.
"That's fine. Thank you. I'll tell you where to plant them. I'll treat you to a drink later."
Shen Yuan said something polite, showed them around, explained how to plant, and then led his wife down the mountain.
