Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 1926 Xu Liu Breaks into the Guardhouse
"Gu Xiaoyu, the yield of Guimingshu is really three thousand catties per mu? That's too much, you're not bragging, are you?" Ji Zhenniang felt that the yield of cassava must not be that high: "My dowry included a hundred mu Zhuangzi is a wheat grower, and I will check the accounts every year after the grain is harvested, but that Zhuangzi only harvests three thousand catties of wheat a year, you ghost potato can harvest three thousand catties per mu of land?"

She glanced at Gu Jinli, and said sincerely: "We are so familiar, you don't need to brag."

You brag too much, even if I know you well, I can't believe you.

Gu Jinli couldn't explain what he said, and said to Erqing and Sanqing: "Since Mrs. Xie doesn't believe it, you go and move the most complete cassava tree in and show her."

"Yes." Erqing Sanqing left the house, and came back not long after, with Da Nian carrying a big bag behind him.

"Ma'am, the cassava tree is here." Er Qing shouted.

Gu Jinli greeted Ji Zhenniang: "Come out and have a look."

Danian had already opened the big bag and pulled out a whole cassava tree... Only a palm-high stump was left in the upper part of the cassava tree, but a large pile of cassava grew under the stump.

This pile of cassava is very big, bigger than the basket for picking grain, and there are a lot of them. Kuang ran over to count them, slapped his thigh, and said, "Oh my god, there are 28 cassavas growing on this plant. It's too long!"

Each is as thick as a wrist, and the longest is more than half an arm long.

Kuang said to Xie Huaihua: "Huahuai, ask your steward Xie to bring a large scale and weigh this cassava plant?"

Manager Xiao Xie is Xie Huaihua's fiancé-in-law.

"Hey~" Xie Huaihua's face blushed when she heard this, and she hurried away after saying yes.

Half a quarter of an hour later, steward Xiao Xie came over carrying a large scale. Xie Huaihua was afraid that he would not be able to carry it, so she carried it for him from behind, causing Kuang's joke: "Look at the appearance of Huaihua who loves her fiancé so much, Brother Cheng and daughter-in-law, you should hurry up and get things done in the guard, find a good day for them to get married, and don't delay them."

Ji Zhenniang said: "The date has been chosen a long time ago, it will be the sixteenth day of the first lunar month next year, when that time comes, Aunt Niu, you have to add makeup to Sophora japonica."

Looking at Gu Jinli again: "And you, Gu Xiaoyu, you are so rich, you can't be stingy, you have to add a lot of makeup to our Sophora japonica."

Gu Jinli smiled: "Okay, when our Xiaoji, Erqing, Sanqing, Carambola, Qingpu Qingfen and other dozens of maids are going to get married, you also remember to add makeup to them."

Aha, my family has a lot of maids, Ji Zhenniang, wait until you lose your money.

Ji Zhenniang was dumbfounded, and then she remembered that Gu Jinli had many maids who were not married, and she felt that she had lost a lot, so she was so angry that she pointed at Xie Huaihua and said, "Then you have to add three times the makeup to our Huaihua!"

Xie Huaihua blushed when she heard that, she wanted to hide in the ground, and hurriedly said: "Ma'am, there is no need for such... slaves don't need too much dowry~"

The voice is small, it is shy.

Manager Xiao Xie laughed when he saw this, and blocked her with his body so that she could hide a little bit, and said to the three masters present: "Thank you, masters first."

Then he said to Kuang: "Mrs. Niu, do you want to call this cassava plant?"

Mrs. Kuang nodded: "Yes, it is this one. You can weigh it to see how many catties it weighs."

Manager Xiao Xie beckoned, and two young men carrying stone locks came over behind him, and began to put stone locks on the large scale... The stone locks used by the large scale range from small to large. After adding three ten-jin stone locks, Finally weighed the cassava.

"Mrs. Niu, this cassava plant has a total weight of 28 catties and six taels." Steward Xiao Xie was very pleasantly surprised, and his tone was a bit raised: "It's really a high-yielding potato crop!"

"It's really 28 catties and six taels?" Excited, Mrs. Kuang hurried over to look at the scale on the large scale. When she saw that the weight was true, she was overjoyed. She pulled another piece of cassava and asked Mr. Xie to weigh it. It weighed two catties and four taels. .

"My God, a cassava weighs two catties... Is this thing very drought-resistant and loves thin soil? If so, then this ghost potato is worth planting, even if it is poisonous, it must be planted!" Kuang was so excited that he almost went crazy Tears: "In this poor place in the northwest, there is little water and the land is thin. Even sorghum can't grow well. If there is this thing, there will be a way to survive when there is a famine."

"You guys don't know, since all the major cities missed farming this year, I've been worried every day that there will be a famine next year... Seven years ago, there was a drought in the Northwest, and the victims flocked to the south. The cheapest time for a living person I can only exchange five catties of coarse grain... I am really afraid that we will fall into that situation." Kuang cried, she was really afraid, if there was a famine and the bandits came again, how could they resist live?
Niu Dabao said: "Why are you crying? Isn't this another good food that doesn't pick the ground? Plant it well, and you won't starve to death."

Niu Dabao felt sorry for Kuang's family, and found that she was older and less courageous than when she first set off to the northwest. This was because she was afraid that the bandits would come again, and she would not be able to protect her relatives in the guard as a woman. What a tragedy, I was worried about it.

"Let's not talk about that, the three of us finally got together, we have to take the opportunity to have a good meal, relax and relax." Niu Dabao finally got some free time, and personally brought Kuang's family to Dabuwei, just to let her stop. Think about bad things and have fun.

Gu Jinli also saw that Kuang's family was a little anxious, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Niu is right, the three of us finally got together and we had to eat something good. I brought a pair of pork ribs here, and let Ji Zhenniang Kill two chickens and stew them with pork ribs, and have a good meal."

Ji Zhenniang was heartbroken when she heard it, and cried, "Why should we kill our chickens, or kill two or one?!"

Gu Jinli raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't want to kill two? Let's kill three."

"You're still raising the price!" Ji Zhenniang was furious, but she had never won an argument against Gu Jinli, so she could only angrily order Madam Xie to kill two chickens and make a stewed chicken with ribs.

Xie Cheng smiled and said: "The chicken ribs are already stewed, we have to wait until we eat, let's go and see the well."

Drinking water is a big deal, and the three families are very concerned about it, so they followed Xie Cheng to see the well.

The well was in front of the residence, some distance away, they went there in a carriage, and it took two quarters of an hour to reach the well.

A big tent was set up next to the well, this is the residence of Master Yan and the others, and Master Yan and the others are digging the well at the moment.

"My lord, ma'am!" Yan Xiaowu saw them, waved and shouted at them, his face was full of joy.

Yan Xiaowu is only 15 years old this year. Because of his young age, he was arranged to do soil picking work outside, and his current identity is the son of Master Yan.

Besides him, Yan Er and Yan San are also Master Yan's sons.

However, these three sons are all fake. Their real identities are the descendants of the Qin family's dark guards, and they have followed the Qin family since grandfather Qin.

In addition to Master Yan's family, Yang Tao's brother Yang Shu and Lao Lu's two fake sons also helped in drilling wells in Dabuwei, but drilling wells was a tiring job. They had just drilled a well for three hours in the morning. Currently resting in the tent.
