Chapter 197: The Potatoes Are Dead

After returning from the Liu family's banquet, Tian Minyan devoted her energy to the sale of preserved eggs and the new workshop in Kyoto. Just to perfect the sales plan, she went to the Liu family to meet with the Liu family no less than five times, so that the Liu family concierge

When he saw her, he let her into the house without announcing it.

Tian Minyan named the Songhua Egg Tianji Songhua Jade Egg. Originally she planned to call her Liuji, but the Liuye family said it was inappropriate. Although she didn't say it in detail, Tian Minyan also thought that maybe it would avoid violating the Liu family's taboo.

So he gave up and changed his name to Tian Ji.

The first batch of Songhua eggs was only 10,000 pieces, and nearly 4,000 were shipped to Kyoto. In addition to the orders that Tian Minyan had received long ago, the remaining Songhua eggs were sold in this county and other counties in Qingzhou. Because the items were fresh, the Songhua eggs were

The eggs received unprecedented popularity, so Tian Minyan hurriedly pickled the second batch of preserved eggs in order to put them into a larger market.

Days passed by, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the crops in the fields began to grow slowly, and some even began to mature. The heavy ears of grain made the farmers in Yangmei Village smile, because it meant that the summer harvest would begin.

It's a harvest festival.

But new trouble soon came. As the crops matured, there were more birds, often flying in the fields to steal the crops.

"Second girl, is this really useful?" Zhou Gui looked at the scarecrow in his hand made of straw, bamboo sticks and torn clothes, and was very doubtful whether this thing would work.

Tian Minyan thought of the scarecrow when she saw that no one knew how to make it to scare the birds. She had already thought about it. She would make one and take it to the head of the village for everyone to see. She also put some in the ground.

Tian Minyan smiled, thought for a while, then put a straw hat on the scarecrow's head and said, "Look, does this look like a person from a distance?"

Zhou Gui and the others looked at it and smiled honestly: "They really look alike."

"Then take it and go to the village to tell everyone. After all, the fields in our village are all connected together. If we all move, it can always scare people." Tian Minyan waved her hand and walked out of the house.

The most important thing for farmers is their fields. Tian Minyan’s trick was recognized by the villagers, and the scarecrows are also simple. Now, every household in Yangmei Village has set up a scarecrow and placed it in the ground.

Of course, if an unreasonable person passes by at night and sees so many people in the field, even the faint of heart will definitely be frightened. With so many ‘people’ scattered everywhere at night, how can we not panic?

The scarecrow played a very good role. There were fewer birds in the land of Yangmei Village. This spread spread from one person to another, and the whole Taiping Town knew about it. They all followed the example of Yangmei Village and made scarecrows to scare the birds. News

When the news reached the ears of Wen Shanchu, the government official of Qingping County, and he saw the scarecrow in front of him, he was stunned for a moment and kept saying "wonderful". When he went to report to the official business, he told the wonderful story of the scarecrow. Now he was very happy and ordered the whole country to

It can be imitated everywhere.

Tian Minyan's impromptu idea made future generations aware of the wonders of scarecrows. Later, when the ears of grain were ripe, they would put up scarecrows to scare the birds. Of course, Tian Minyan didn't know that her little wings stirred up a small gust of wind, causing the

As a result, she didn't have time to take care of those little things, because the fertilization on the back mountain was already ripe, and she was busy directing the long-term workers to go to the fertile land.

Applying base fertilizer to hundreds of acres of wasteland is not an easy task. It was all done by Tian Huairen and four long-term workers. They picked up loads of fertilizer, mixed it with water and spread it, and then plowed the land deeply again to allow the fertilizer and water to fully and evenly penetrate.

Tian Minyan couldn't do anything about watering the ground, so she planted the potatoes that had sprouted in her own vegetable plot. They planted each potato in a pit, applied base fertilizer, planted potatoes, and worked together with Luo Shi Xiaoxing to plant them.

However, within a few days, Xiaoxing came to her and said, "Girl, Tudou is dead."

Tian Minyan was dealing with the account books. When she heard this, she stood up: "What did you say?"

Xiaoxing's mouth tightened and he said, "The potatoes we just planted are dead."

Tian Minyan quickly put down her account book and ran to the vegetable field behind the house. When she saw it, the tender potato sprouts planted a few days ago had wilted on the ground, and some of the leaves were withered.

She squatted on the ground slumped, built a tent with her hands on her eyebrows, and looked at the scorching sun in the sky. It was indeed a good thing but not an ugly one. Planting potatoes out of season was unsuccessful.

She dug out a potato and saw that the potatoes were all black and withered. She sighed and said, "dig them all out and throw them away."

"Girl, why are these potatoes dead? Can't they be planted? We still worked so hard." Xiaoxing pouted, almost crying.

"The weather is too hot now, not suitable for planting potatoes." Tian Minyan pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter, we can plant them in autumn."

Now the wasteland has been watered with fertilizer for the first time and irrigated, and it will be watered for the second time in a few days. However, Fa Ji has not received any news of the owner's return, maybe he is already on the way. After the summer harvest, she can just use the free time.

Use that time to germinate and plant the potatoes.

Thinking of this, Tian Minyan felt a little overwhelmed, and raised the corner of her mouth. She accidentally glanced at Xiaoxing. Her plaintive eyes looked straight at herself, and she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

"Girl, you are so cruel. The potatoes are dead and you are still laughing." She muttered dissatisfiedly, lowered her head and dug out the dead potatoes.

Tian Minyan twitched her lips and said, "Experiments always fail. They won't die next time we plant them. Don't worry."

Xiaoxing curled her lips. Tian Minyan coaxed her for a few words before she relaxed her eyebrows. She couldn't help but secretly thought that the little girl was quite temperamental.

"Girl Yan, what are you doing?"

Tian Minyan followed the sound and looked over, only to see Aunt Zhu standing outside the yard dressed in new clothes and looking at her.

"He's working in the vegetable field. Auntie, this looks good in this dress. Where are you going? Hey, let me guess, is this the matchmaker coming to my house?" Tian Minyan thought that it had only been a few days since the eldest son of the Zhu family got married, and it had only been in the past two days.

Recruited.

"You're right. It's the day your uncle is going to be hired over there. Come over later and eat some candies to cheer him up." Aunt Zhu smiled so brightly that she was so happy that she couldn't even see her eyes.

"Oh, congratulations to Auntie, I'll definitely go." Seeing that her guess was correct, Tian Minyan said with a smile.

"Hey, OK, you can go and do your own business. I have to meet the matchmaker." Aunt Zhu waved her hand and left with a smile.

Tian Minyan saw how happy she was when she walked. She knew that she was overjoyed. When Brother Rui gets a wife in the future, she doesn't know if Luo Shi will be so happy, no, maybe even happier.

Just as she was thinking about it, Xiaoxing suddenly said: "Girl, someone is coming to our house."

"Who is it?"

Tian Minyan looked over, and when she saw that person, her face sank. What was she doing here?

There is another update in the works, I will update it soon, around 12:30, but I suggest you not to stay up late and wait, I will flash~
