Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 55 Lin Xiuhan's Attention
Cai Jingyi, who was brought home first, was put into the cellar.

In the past few days, Song Yuancheng has also been busy. Although it is a bit hard, he is very fulfilled and has experienced the joy of a good harvest.He thought he was having a good day.

Seeing that the vegetables brought back were really good, Gu Yu went back to the wing room and said, "My lord, this Mr. Chu is really good at farming. The freshly harvested vegetables look really good. The Chinese cabbage is thick and strong. Then The radish is really big. The key is that the taste of this dish is really good.

Mr. Chu has planted a hundred acres of vegetables, and his family will definitely not be able to eat them.Mr. Chu must sell some of them.If the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, I don't think it's better for our palace to buy it, and let the chief manager and the others taste this dish after transporting it back.

I heard from Qiao Hong that many people in the village buy vegetables from Mr. Chu, we have to hurry up, otherwise what should we do? "

Xiao Yilin smiled, "Then why don't you hurry up and tell Mr. Chu that the cabbage can be stored in the cellar, and we will order tens of thousands of catties for him, as well as various radishes, spinach, and coriander. Let Manager Xiao send someone Ship it back."

When Gu Yu heard this, he hurried to find Mr. Chu.

Jing Yi was of course very happy to hear that Prince Jing's Mansion would also purchase the vegetables she grew.She also thought that the [-] mu of vegetables could not be used up by herself, so she had to find a place to sell some.Unexpectedly, the villagers of Yunxi Village would be so generous and bought a lot.Now Prince Jing's Mansion also wants to buy them. It seems that the vegetables she grows don't need to go to others to buy them.

This year, because the villagers of Jingyi Yunxi Village have made money and have more money, don't they have money to buy things?

There are many people working on one hundred acres of land, and they are basically harvested in three days.In the end, Jing Yiyi counted the harvest as a bountiful one, worthy of her optimized variety.

Lin Xiuhan has been drawing attention to Yunxi Village. He received news that a large area of ​​Yunxi Village was harvesting vegetables, so he knew who it was. He asked his servants to drive a carriage to Yunxi Village.

In the field, Lin Xiuhan saw the young man who was counting with a piece of paper.

Seeing that it was County Magistrate Lin, Jing Yi quickly stepped forward to salute, "Master Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Xiuhan smiled and said, "I heard that you have a bumper harvest of vegetables here, so I've come to have a look. It looks like a bumper harvest."

Looking at the busy scene in the field, Jing Yi said: "When I bought this field, it was already past the season for growing grain, but it felt like a waste to leave it so empty, so I simply planted some vegetables, and the harvest was better. The income is nothing, I didn’t expect that it would grow pretty well in the end.”

Lin Xiuhan smiled and said: "You are not bad at all, it is simply too good. It seems that Mr. Chu really has a way of farming. I wonder what Mr. Chu plans to plant next on this piece of land?"

Jing Yi said: "When the vegetables are all harvested, I'm going to have someone turn over the land and plant winter wheat."

Lin Xiuhan was a little curious when he heard the words, "Winter wheat? How is it possible to grow food in winter?"

Jing Yi said: "Our Huizhou Prefecture is a little further south. Although it has already entered winter here, the temperature is similar to autumn in the north. Wheat seeds should be able to germinate after planting. When the weather is colder, it will go dormant and stop growing. The seedlings will not be frozen to death. It will turn green and continue to grow when the weather warms up next spring.

In this way, the wheat planted in spring will mature earlier, and it will mature in May and June next year, or even earlier.In this way, after the wheat is harvested, the second crop can be planted in this field. "

It was the first time Lin Xiuhan heard about planting a second crop, and asked in amazement, "Can I grow a second crop? Can it mature?"

Jing Yi said: "It shouldn't be a problem. Why don't I try it this year. I'll know next year if it succeeds. If the experiment is successful, then farmers can plant a crop and double the harvest. Even if you don’t have double the amount of food, you can get half as much food. What a big improvement you think this is.”

Lin Xiuhan was also very excited when he heard this, "If you really succeed in planting, then you will be a great hero of the Jin Kingdom. I have to ask for credit for you like a saint. Let the court reward you."

Jing Yi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if there is a reward or not, I just like to explore. And even if I ask for credit, I have to wait until I succeed."

Jing Yi doesn't want to hide herself anymore.Sooner or later she would become famous in front of others, even if she concealed it, she couldn't hide it for a long time.Just let nature take its course.

Lin Xiuhan said: "I will fully support you. If you need my help, just let me know. If your trial planting is successful, it will be a pioneering work that benefits the country and the people. I should support it."

It is of course a good thing to have the support of the parents and officials of Hui'an County, Jing Yi cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Master Lin."

When Village Chief Wang learned that County Magistrate Lin was coming, he hurried over to meet him. Village Chief Wang introduced the situation in the village.

Jing Yi looked at the sun in the sky and said: "Master Lin, it's almost noon now, if you don't mind, you can have lunch at the next house. Uncle Wang, come too, and accompany Master Lin together."

Wang Xuhuai said with a smile: "I know that Jing Yan is an excellent cook, and the smell wafts out of your house every day. You don't want to cook by yourself today, do you?"

Jing Yi said with a smile: "To entertain Mr. Lin today, of course I have to cook myself."

Wang Xuhuai turned his head and said to Lin Xiuhan: "Master Lin, you don't know that Jingyan's culinary skills are extraordinary, and I have never eaten better than his cooking. I have also eaten some meals in big restaurants, and What Jingyan did was far worse."

Lin Xiuhan was very curious when he heard that, "Oh, then I have to try Mr. Chu's handicraft. I'm going to trouble you today."

Jing Yi smiled and said: "It's my honor, let's go, let's all go to my house to have a rest, and I'll show everyone at noon."

Jing Yi asked Song Yuancheng to stare at the ground, and asked Qiao Hong to go home quickly and chop up the pork ribs, and then took a piece of pork to stuff with meat

After returning home, Jingyi arranged Lin Xiuhan and Village Chief Wang in the living room of the south room.Fortunately, she had arranged this place before, otherwise she would have to entertain in the main hall.After all, there is a mother in the family, so it would be inconvenient to entertain outsiders in the main hall.

Now it's just right to entertain foreigners in the living room of the south room.

Jing Yi now feels that her house is underbuilt, and the room is a little tight.She is considering whether to add another layer of yard.

Jing Yi served tea to Lin Xiuhan and Village Chief Wang, and asked Village Chief Wang to play chess with Lin Xiuhan, and she went to the kitchen.

Jingyi's lunch must have braised pork, of course.The ribs are ready to make sweet and sour pork ribs.Add one potted tenderloin, one Mushu pork, four meat dishes, a few ingredients and a meatball soup, and it will be a very good meal.

In order to hide their tracks, Xiao Yilin and the others usually wouldn't leave the wing when outsiders came from the Chu family.But they also knew who came from the Chu family.

Gu Yu looked at the window and said, "My lord, it seems that the person here is Lin Xiuhan, the county magistrate of Hui'an County, and the other is the village chief Wang of Yunxi Village."

Xiao Yilin frowned upon hearing this, "Lin Xiuhan? Why did he come to the Chu family? He is very familiar with Mr. Chu?"
