Chapter 1031 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a wealthy peasant girl (27)
Several households closer to her home were also preparing to have dinner, and when they smelled the domineering fragrance, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Whose house is this? Why does it smell so good!"
"Who else could it be? It must be the one at the end of the village. Her family is the only one that can afford to eat meat."
"How do you say this?"
"Her family's rice harvest from two acres of land is more than that of Dazhuang's family from three acres of land. Isn't it just a matter of exchanging the extra harvest for a few kilograms of meat?"
"We will also use the new fertilizer that Meng Jin's wife came up with next year. Her family's two acres of paddy field can produce a harvest of three acres. Our family has five acres of paddy field. Wouldn't it be possible to produce an additional two acres of harvest?"
There are many villagers young and old who have such thoughts.
So much so that a strange phenomenon recently occurred in Dawa Village:
Everyone improved their food and instead of buying meat, they bought big stick bones, which are both cheap and good for fertilization;
The children in the village went to the lakes and ponds to catch small fish from the river more diligently than before. Even if the fish they caught were so small that they could only be stuffed between their teeth, their intestines must be scraped clean and used for fermentation;
Rotten vegetable leaves, peels, and eggshells should not be thrown away casually, just like fertilizer and water should not be left to outsiders - they should also be thrown into your own compost pond;
You can also pick up the rotten leaves and wild fruits on the mountain at home, and the people on the mountain are almost digging three feet into the ground.
In short, never let go of any material that can be fertilized to ensure that the new fertilizer is fully retting!
But the results are indeed obvious.
The crops in each family's fields have become strong and strong after several top-dressings with new fertilizers.
The heavy sorghum ears bent the branches; the soybean pods were plump; the dog-tailed millet clumps drooped.
Although radishes grow in the ground, they have thick stems and leaves, so you can tell at a glance that they are growing well. Read a book
The villagers of Xiaowa Village were so happy that they felt like they were walking in the wind.
In addition, the weather has been good this year, with frequent thunderstorms in the summer. The water levels in rivers and lakes have risen, but they have never overflowed the river banks. There is no shortage of water in the fields and there have been no floods. It can be seen that this year's harvest is going to be more and more beautiful!
…
Cui Zhonggui recently fell in love with the daughter of the shopkeeper of the paper shop and wanted Cui to propose marriage.
Ms. Cui wanted to wait until after the autumn harvest.
"During this period, your third brother and I have been very busy. You own the land at home, but you are not at home, and your younger sister has gone to Beijing again. Only the third brother and I are doing the work in the fields. Your eldest brother must have
I feel angry. I haven’t visited the house since I came back, let alone help with the housework. Fortunately, the harvest this year is good, and I am happy to be busy. But my mother has no time to take care of your marriage for the time being. Fortunately, the autumn harvest is not far away.
Yes, please wait."
"How is the harvest this year?" Cui Zhonggui asked with concern.
"This year we can harvest several stones more than in previous years." Cui Jikang excitedly took Cui Zhonggui to look at the fields.
One stone more than in previous years. It’s a pity that our family started too late. If we had followed my sister-in-law and applied new fertilizers in the first half of the year, the rice would have been several stone more!"
"So many?" Cui Zhonggui was so surprised that he almost slipped down the field.
After coming back to his senses, he asked again: "What does it mean to start too late? Isn't it because the harvest is good because the weather is good?"
"Of course this is the reason, but without the retting method that my sister-in-law came up with, and the good weather, there wouldn't be such a good harvest."
Because of this incident, Cui Jikang completely changed his view of his sister-in-law and became the only "sister-in-law" in the old Cui family.
However, he was shy. Even if he met Xu Yin on the road, he would not know what to say. He would just call out "sister-in-law" and run away in a hurry with his head lowered.
I'm afraid even Xu Yin didn't expect that such a shy young man would support her so much in front of others.
After Cui Jikang listened to his younger brother's explanation, he was shocked and filled with emotion.
Half a year ago, who would have thought that the eldest sister-in-law who loves to eat and is lazy would have such abilities?
Even when I returned to work in the rice store, I still felt a little agitated.
When there were fewer customers, I couldn't help but tell the shopkeeper about this year's harvest in Dawa Village.
Before the shopkeeper said anything, the rice-buying customers on the side were very surprised: "One acre of land will increase the yield by at least one stone? Is it true? Which village is it?"
"..."
Dawa Village is famous!
To be precise, it was the retting method that Dawa Village collectively learned that became famous!
People from other villages want to come over to learn - what kind of composting method can actually increase the yield per mu by more than one stone!
As a result, the magistrate of Qinghe County was alarmed.
Xu Yin hasn't been out of bed recently.
Since Comrade Xiaojin recovered from his leg injury, he has done all the work in the fields by himself.
She was not allowed to do the heavy work at home, such as chopping firewood, carrying water, watering and fertilizing the vegetable fields in front of and behind the house, and when he was busy, she was asked to wait until he came back to do it.
When he had free time, he would compete with her for sweeping the floor and doing laundry.
Xu Yin: "..."
Sister is too busy!
It seems that apart from cooking, there is nothing left for her to do.
This is also because his cooking is not as delicious as hers, otherwise he might not be able to escape the fate of being robbed.
With nothing to do, she cut a batch of strips and planned to make two deck chairs, one for each of Comrade Xiaojin, so that they could enjoy the coolness in the summer and bask in the sun in the winter.
On this day, the two of them had breakfast. Cui Mengjin went to do the last top dressing on the soybean field, and then waited for the autumn harvest. Xu Yin gave him a pot of tea made from wild chrysanthemums, and also wrapped a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in clean oil paper.
, it can satisfy your stomach when you are hungry.
After autumn, the wild osmanthus flowers in the mountains are in full bloom.
She picked a lot of osmanthus back, dried it in the sun, and pickled the osmanthus in sugar. She put some of it in when making snacks, and it was very fragrant.
After sending the man away, she cleaned up the kitchen and sat down to continue knitting the lounge chair.
On the small table next to it, there is a pot of chrysanthemum tea, a plate of dried wild fruit slices and osmanthus cake.
I drink tea when I'm thirsty, eat a piece of cake when I'm hungry, and take a piece of dried wild fruit when I'm thirsty. It's so comfortable! All I need is some soothing light music.
At this moment, Li Zheng led the county magistrate in official uniform to the door.
Xu Yin: "..."
I couldn't help but give Li Zheng an accusing look: Can you give me a reminder next time before you come to the door? It's so abrupt every time.
Li Zheng was very excited.
After so many years as the chief, this was the first time he received a county magistrate. He was so excited that his heart almost flew out of his throat, and he didn't receive Xu Yin's resentful look at all.
Zhou Zhihai has been serving as county magistrate for seven or eight years.
His colleagues who joined the official ranks in the same year were promoted to Beijing officials four or five years ago, and those who were later were recognized and promoted by their superiors one by one in recent years.
Only he has changed places twice, but he is still a small seventh-grade county magistrate. Each of the several counties he was transferred to is poorer than the last.
He is really eager to do something great and rise to great heights!
But what political achievements can be achieved by staying in this small Qinghe County?
A few days ago, I heard from my master that there is a small mountain village called Dawa Village down there, and some villagers have invented a fertilizer that can increase the yield of crops.
It is said that the villagers who invented this fertilizer increased their rice yield by at least one stone per mu this summer.
Although sorghum, corn, and soybeans have not yet been harvested, it seems that increasing production is a certainty!
This made Magistrate Zhou overjoyed. If it were true, this would be a political achievement in front of him!
As long as the news is verified to be true, he will write a memorial and report it to the court, and his promotion and promotion will be just around the corner!
