The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 69
Giving Liu Yuzhu an apologetic look, Su Yunduo turned around and continued to cooperate with Lu Jinkang's guards in unloading the car. There were a lot of things, and they couldn't all be put in the yard. They had to find a place to put them properly.

Two sets of tables, chairs and benches have already been set up in the yard, and Lu Jinkang's servant is wiping the tables and chairs carefully with a rag.

The chair under Lu Jinkang's buttocks was brought down from the carriage by this young man named Jiu'er himself and wiped it clean carefully. Then he bowed his waist and asked Lu Jinkang to sit down.

Although I have seen many episodes like this on TV in my previous life, the corners of Su Yunduo's mouth twitched when I witnessed this kind of interaction between master and servant for the first time, and I couldn't help but complain in my heart: This evil feudal hierarchy system!
Soon the kitchen was full of various ingredients, Su Yunduo stroked his forehead with his hand, discussed with Ning Shi in a low voice, then turned around and asked Su Zexuan to go to Liu Donglin's house again.

Even with the things Lu Jinkang sent, she, a 12-year-old girl and a big belly woman, can't serve the food and drink of these dozens of people, so she has to ask Wei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to help.

The arrival of Lu Jinkang and his party has already alarmed the entire Geshan Village. As the village head, Liu Donglin has been paying attention all the time. When he learned that the Su family had invited Liu Dongting and Liu Yuzhu's uncle and nephew, he couldn't sit still and was about to go to the village. The Su family went to have a look, but saw Su Zexuan plunging into his yard out of breath.

Liu Donglin and the others came very quickly. When Liu Donglin learned that Lu Jinkang and his party were going to hunt in the mountains from here in the next few days, he quickly ordered Liu Yuzhu to lead the team carefully and pay attention to safety, and Liu Yuzhu responded repeatedly.

Originally, Liu Donglin and Wei Shi wanted to arrange the eating and drinking of Lu Jinkang and his party in their own yard, but when they saw the two sets of brand new tables and chairs in the Su family's yard and the pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar in the kitchen, they were very interested. Shut up.

After communication, I learned the arrangement of Lu Jinkang and his party. They had breakfast at the inn in Linxi Town every day before riding horses to Geshan Village. Because most of the hunting went into the deep mountains, they naturally couldn't come out from the deep mountains for lunch, so they only stayed at Su Yunduo's house. After having dinner, Su Yunduo was really relieved.

The Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also breathed a sigh of relief. This way, they would not delay their own family work, and they could get some extra income. Lu Jinkang insisted on paying them.

Of course, in addition to dinner, they also had to prepare some dry food for the people who went into the mountains. Even if people in the mountains were not hunters, it was still a common thing to go into the mountains. It was not difficult to prepare dry food for a dozen people.

Although it was a bit hasty today, Wei's mother-in-law and Su Yunduo kept working, and it took only half an hour to prepare the dry food for entering the mountain. Although the quantity was a little less, it was better than entering the mountain empty-handed.

Seeing Liu Yuzhu and Lu Jinkang finally left Geshan Village and went into the mountains with water and dry food, Su Yunduo let out a long sigh of relief, and finally he could let go of his hands and feet and take a deep breath!
Ning Zhongpingyuan also wanted to follow into the mountain, but because he promised Su Yunduo to help her with some matters, he could only watch Lu Jinkang and his group enter the mountain and disappear from sight.

"Burn the weeds?" When Su Yunduo pointed to the yellow weeds in the backyard and the wasteland in front of the yard and said that the first thing she wanted to ask Ning Zhongping for help was to burn these weeds. Spit out these four words.

He grew up in the town since he was born, and his family didn't have any land, so naturally he didn't do any farm work, but he had heard of the ash and fertile land, but Su Yunduo's idea was too bold.

If it is not handled properly, it may cause a monstrous fire and endanger the entire Geshan Village. That is no joke!

Naturally, Su Yunduo couldn't be joking, she already had a plan in mind.

In her previous life, she had personally experienced the scene of burning weeds. Although it was very dangerous, as long as it was handled properly, the risk factor could be minimized.

Su Yunduo took a pen and paper while drawing and explaining. Although it was just an idea on paper, Ning Zhongping was quickly attracted by Su Yunduo's ingenuity. In the end, the two of them conducted a field survey. Su Yunduo's plan to burn wasteland became more and more perfect with Ning Zhongping's supplement. .

Ning Zhongping decided to help Su Yunduo carry out the plan of burning weeds and fertilized land. Of course, for the sake of safety, he decided to try it in a small area first.

After some discussion, I specially chose a piece of wasteland about an acre farthest away from the house in front of the yard to do the experiment.

Ning Zhongping had no one in his hands, and all the people brought by Lu Jinkang followed Lu Jinkang into the mountain. The only way was to borrow people from Liu Donglin.

With Ning Zhongping around, it is naturally impossible for Su Yunduo to negotiate with Liu Donglin, and everything is left to Ning Zhongping.

As a farmer, Liu Donglin naturally understands the importance of plant ash to the land.

Plant ash can not only fertilize the land but also kill insects. It’s just that Liu Donglin has planted the land for so many years. He really hasn’t used burning to get rid of weeds. It should be said that he has never thought about it. word.

Using fire to burn the weeds on the wasteland can easily weed and fertilize the land. It is indeed a best of both worlds, but the hidden dangers are really worrying.

The wind in late autumn is not small. What if the flames blown by the wind burn the house or even cause a wildfire?
After Ning Zhongping's explanation of the painting, Liu Donglin pondered for a while and finally gritted his teeth and nodded his head and agreed to try. He quickly found more than a dozen strong laborers from the village and handed them to Ning Zhongping, asking everyone to follow Ning Zhongping's command. In the wasteland in front of Su Yunduo's house, he carefully carried out the burning experiment.

With a lot of people and strength, a trench one foot wide and two feet deep was quickly dug around the acre of wasteland where the experiment was conducted.

The real burning time was chosen in the early morning of the next day, when the wind was relatively light but the dew was relatively heavy. When the weeds were ignited, Ning Zhongping took some of the ten strong laborers from Geshan Village that Liu Donglin had handed over to him. Some of the wet branches held large brooms soaked in water, and each of them stared wide-eyed at the burning of the flames.

Although the wind is still a bit strong in the early morning of autumn, the dew is indeed heavy, and the burning experiment on a small plot of land was very successful.

Due to the digging of a wide enough trench in the burned land, the flames were indeed contained in the wasteland of the experiment, and did not ignite the weeds in the nearby wasteland.

With the success of this experimental site, it only took two days for Su Yunduo's backyard and the wasteland in front of the yard to be completely burned. What makes Su Yunduo most fortunate is that God also came to make fun of it. After the weeds were burned, the autumn rain began to fall.

The autumn rain is not heavy, but it is enough to drench the burned wasteland and let the ash seep into the wasteland. It would be even better if we can seize the time to turn over the wasteland at this time!
It's a pity that Su Yunduo's family has neither manpower nor cattle. Ning Zhongping also went to the mountain to cut firewood after burning the wilderness. After storing enough firewood for Su Yunduo for a whole winter, he finally couldn't bear it and followed Lu Jinkang to the mountain to hunt. After leaving, Su Yunduo was left alone, facing the black and gray wasteland and sighing.
