Chapter 1035 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a rural family (31)
"Well, the weather has been good this year. Two acres of rice have been harvested and eight rocks of rice have been harvested."
"Eight stones???"
"Eight stones!!!"
The boat passengers all around cried out in surprise.
"Eight stones per mu? Four stones per mu?"
"Dear boy! There is a place where the yield per mu of Si Shi has been destroyed! I always thought that San Shi would have to have a good year."
"Little brother, where are you from? I see that you also boarded the boat in Qinghe County. Are you from the village below Qinghe? Can you tell me how you grow rice? Why do you get such a good harvest!"
"..."
The road was lively.
Everyone gathered around Xu Yin and his wife to share their farming experiences.
Although some of them are merchants or scholars traveling from north to south, their families are indispensable for farmers who face the loess and back to the sky, so they naturally know what it means to produce four stones per mu.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and anything that can increase the yield per mu is a top priority for the people.
Cui Mengjin only said that someone in his village invented a new type of fertilizer that can increase crop yields. The method of composting is also very simple. Every household in his village has learned it. No, the output of the just-concluded autumn harvest has exceeded four kilograms. The diligent workers
Those families are almost five stone rich.
"Ouch!"
Not only the boat passengers, but also the boatmen could not help but prick up their ears.
My heart was filled with excitement after hearing this, and I wished I could go back to the countryside and the village right now to teach my family how to pile and apply new types of fertilizer.
This was something Xu Yin didn't expect.
She made bamboo tube rice simply because it was nutritious, delicious and easy to carry. Unexpectedly, she accidentally promoted a new type of rice.
When I went out for a trip, I still hadn't found the lotus seed, but I had first attracted a wave of potential energy point reward customers for myself.
Kaisen!
With this topic attracting young and old, the relationship among the ship passengers has become harmonious. Whether they know each other or not, they can all get together and chat for a few words, and the journey goes very smoothly.
Coupled with the smooth wind and smooth water, the passenger ship docked at the state capital pier before sunset.
After landing, Xu and Yin were looking for an inn to stay.
"Little brother, please stay!"
Liu Yuanwai, who was sitting in the back seat of Cui Mengjin on the boat, caught up with him out of breath and drunk:
"This is your first time coming to Chunzhou Prefecture. What kind of inn are you looking for? Go to my house! My house is not far ahead. You two are in Chunzhou Prefecture for the past few days, so you can stay at my house with peace of mind."
"No no no!"
"You're welcome, let's go!"
"Dad! Dad!"
"Look, my son is driving a carriage to pick me up! Get in the carriage and get in! Let's talk about anything when we get to my house."
Liu Yuanwai was so enthusiastic that he couldn't help but invite Xu Yin and the others to his home.
Although he spent money to buy a Yuanwai Lang Dangdang, he was still a rich man who made his fortune by growing grains. When he heard that the yield per mu had increased by more than one stone, he felt itchy and could not wait to rush back to the village on the same day to urge the long-term workers to retting him.
New fertilizer.
"Little brother, you can teach me later how to stack that new type of fertilizer. Let's go on the boat. People are talking too much. My ears are not very good and I can't hear very clearly."
Hearing what was going on, Xu Yin and Comrade Xiaojin exchanged glances, got on the carriage, and followed Yuan Liu to his home.
This time, Xu Yin was happy——
There is a pond of lotus planted in the back garden of Liu Yuan’s wife’s house.
It is said that his seventh wife was born in the south of the Yangtze River. She especially liked to appreciate lotus and asked Liu Yuan to plant it.
Although at this season, the lotus has long since withered, leaving only a pool of residual lotus.
But if you have lotus, are you still afraid of not having lotus root?
"Mr. Liu, I wonder if your Zhuangzi is far from here? If it's not far, we can go and teach on the spot. We are stupid and easy to explain unclearly. But if we start doing it again, we will never make mistakes."
"Ah? Why is this so embarrassing?" Mr. Liu was both happy and embarrassed. He quickly asked his wife to help clean up the guest room, "Clean up the largest guest room! I want to entertain Brother Cui and his wife well." Reading a book
So, Xu Yin and his wife lived in Liu Yuan's house. During the day, they went to Liuzhuang outside the city to teach the workers there about retting, and they came back to stay at night. Sometimes they stayed directly in the village when it was late, doing their best, teaching and caring, and everything was perfect.
Didi regards himself as an output technician.
Member Liu was very grateful and repeatedly expressed his intention to prepare a generous gift to thank them.
Xu Yin took advantage of the situation and suggested: "Mr. Liu, there is no need for generous gifts. Can you give me some lotus roots?"
"Lotus root? What is that?"
Xu Yin: "..."
I have planted lotus in a pond, but I don’t know what lotus root is?
Liu Yuanwai really didn't know that although he doted on the Seventh Madam the most, he only went there more at night. He didn't spend much time at home during the day, but he didn't have the leisure and elegance to enjoy the lotus with his female family members.
He waved his hand and asked the maid to call the seventh lady Jiang, who liked lotus flowers.
Of course Jiang knew about lotus roots, but she asked her master to dig a lotus pond in the back garden and asked the gardener to plant lotus seeds brought from Jiangnan to enjoy the lotus flowers, not to pickle the lotus roots buried in the mud.
"Master!" Mrs. Jiang held the embroidered handkerchief and shook Liu Yuanwai, and said angrily, "What I appreciate is that the lotus comes out of the mud and is not stained. I don't like the lotus root when it is so dirty!"
Xu Yin looked at the lotus with her eyes, nose and heart: If there is no lotus root, why don't you tell me where to go to appreciate the lotus?
Liu Yuanwai smiled coquettishly and said: "Jiang is spoiled by me, don't mind. Brother Cui, younger siblings, if you like this lotus root, I will send people to dig it up, as much as you want, you can dig them all away."
Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth: Poach them all? Then next spring and summer, your seventh wife will not be able to look forward to the lotus flowers, and I am afraid she will have to settle the score with you.
He hurriedly said: "We don't need to dig too much. We just want to take a few sections back and try to plant them to see if the lotus roots from the south of the Yangtze River can be grown in our Qinghe County."
"Chunzhou Prefecture is not far from Qinghe County. We can farm here, and Qinghe County is not far away."
"Then I accept Master Liu's good advice!"
Exporting retting technology and getting fifty kilograms of lotus root seeds, this trip to Chunzhou Prefecture was not in vain!
Not only that, when Xu Yin was shopping in Chunzhou Prefecture, she saw an out-of-town merchant selling a batch of seeds brought from a border town.
"Take a look and take a look! Don't miss it if you pass by! The seeds I sell are guaranteed to survive. If not, there is no charge!"
Xu Yin squatted down and glanced at a few dark seeds in the corner. Aren't they the watermelon seeds she had been paying attention to?
Hey! It really takes no effort at all!
"Sir, you have such a good eye! I brought this new variety of seeds from the border of the Western Region with great effort. I almost fell into the hands of bandits on the way. When I was escaping, I dropped a seed bag, and that's all I have left.
You can take all twenty coins with you."
Seven or eight watermelon seeds cost twenty cents? This price is not ordinary!
The stall owner saw that she was silent, and the tall and burly young man on the side was still frowning. Apparently he thought the price was too high and was worried about the fat sheep that finally came to the door... Oh no, the business was ruined.
A few seeds that are not common in the local area came out: "I think you sincerely want to buy it, sir, and I will give you a few more seeds to add to the seeds."
