After taking care of the outside affairs, it was almost dawn by the time Mu Yunhan could take a rest.
She rubbed her shoulders and lay down on the empty bed. She wanted to miss Gu Fenglin, but she was too tired, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already noon, with the sound of firecrackers and laughter everywhere, but the neighbors were visiting me to pay their New Year greetings.
Mu Yunhan couldn't help but feel in a good mood. He quickly got up to clean up and went out to entertain guests.
She didn't let anyone take Xingxing out. Meng Jia brought Xingxing before, just to let everyone know that this was the case. In addition, she didn't want Xingxing to be noticed too early.
In addition to paying New Year greetings, everyone also wanted to discuss with Mu Yunhan and Gu Shenpo what to plant next year and how to plant it.
Although Gu Fenglin did not predict the weather, Mu Yunhan and Gu Shenpo had already discussed this matter.
Last year she was in a bad mood and was lucky enough to barely show her face in front of others, but this year she had to plan carefully.
In troubled times, of course, food is the most precious, and medicinal materials can be sold at a good price. Wine is still a hugely profitable industry, but it is too wasteful of food, so I don’t plan to do too much this year.
She also has plans for what kind of grain to grow. Firstly, it has a short maturity cycle, secondly, it has high yield, thirdly, it is good planting work, and the other is intercropping.
Early-maturing rice and broad beans are intercropped; sweet potatoes are planted in every corner of the hillside; and the strange potatoes she got in Xiangshan are intercropped with barley to increase the yield of barley.
There are melons and fruits in front of and behind the house, a few castor trees are planted next to the soybean field to prevent chafers, and some green onions and leeks are planted next to the eggplants to prevent ants.
Planting some nasturtiums under pear trees can prevent insects. Planting cucumbers and beans together not only increases the yield but also prevents insects. Planting between cabbage and snails can prevent cabbage caterpillars.
As for medicinal materials, wars are frequent, epidemics are prevalent, injuries and bleeding are frequent, and the people are not rich, so they mainly use high-quality and low-cost common medicinal materials to treat epidemic diseases, and there are also medicines to stop bleeding and injuries.
When Mu Yunhan revealed his plan, the villagers fell silent for a while.
Mu Yunhan thought they were unwilling, so he laughed: "What do you think, just tell us, and we can discuss it after we learn from each other's strengths."
Mu Qiusheng smiled and said: "We have no idea, we just feel anxious and scared. Without Madam's guidance and support, we may not be able to get through it.
What’s more, it doesn’t matter anything else, I can plant whatever you want, but those weird potatoes you just mentioned, I’m afraid they’re inedible?”
He was referring to the light yellow tuber found in the Elephant Mountain.
Mu Yunhan smiled and said: "This will definitely be edible, and the yield is not low. If you don't believe me, you have to believe in Sinong Temple.
This is something that the officials of Sinong Temple have personally tested. It is nourishing and delicious, and it can really increase the yield of barley. It is not available in other places. It is only available here. You will know after you try it."
It seems that this thing was really a fault of Gu Fengyuan, who was thrown to work at Sinong Temple by Gu Fenglin. In addition to studying early-maturing new rice seeds, he also studied this strange potato.
He intercropped this type of potato with various crops and found out that planting it together with barley can increase the yield of barley.
In order to make the people of Shoushan Town believe her, Mu Yunhan did not mention that this thing was dug out of Xiangshan Mountain, but only mentioned Sinong Temple.
Sure enough, everyone believed it: "Since it was done by Sinong Temple, there must be no problem. The new rice seed they made is fragrant and delicious. It matures early and has a high yield."
