A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 117 Chapter 117
That day, An Chuxia, Muxiu, and An Zixi were driving the carriage, An Chuxia was leaning against the window of the carriage with a book and Shi Yu was looking at the account book of the construction academy in his hand.

In the past three months, half of the construction of the uncomplicated and luxurious academy has been completed, which is also due to Shi Yu's strong supervision and scheduling capabilities.

The carriage slowly drove out of the city gate and ran towards Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. The road to Zhuangzi was not a highway, the dirt road was bumpy and bumpy, and it took more than an hour to get there.

An Zixi parked the carriage and shouted into the carriage, "Here we are, Cousin Xia!"

An Chuxia put down the book in her hand and got out of the carriage and jumped off the carriage. Looking at Zhuangzi who hadn't come for more than a month, the fence surrounded by thorny plants became taller and stronger.

Among the servants I bought last time, Xiaohu, the eleven or twelve-year-old son of the Li family, was leading a few children to herd cattle.

An Chuxia beckoned to him, Xiaohu saw him running over, and shouted with a mouthful of small white teeth: "...Mr.

Every time An Chuxia came here, she would bring some snacks for the children in the village. She took out a bag of candy from the carriage and handed it to Xiaohu, "Here, go and share it with all the children in the village."

"Thank you, lady!" Xiaohu took it happily.

An Chuxia smiled and said to Xiaohu, "Go!"

Xiaohu happily took a bag of candies and ran to his companion who was watching him from a distance.

Shi Yu looked at the woman in front of her who was becoming more and more majestic, her eyes flickered, when would she notice herself.

An Chuxia walked into the Zhuangzi, leaving the Li family and the Sun family who were cooking, and saw An Chuxia and the others hurried over to salute.

"My lady! You are here!"

"Where did my brother and Brother Runsheng go?"

"Back to the lady, Mr. Chen's family and senior executives are over there in the cotton field."

An Chuxia said softly: "I see.

You follow Xiaoxi to the carriage, take the meat you brought to the kitchen, and give everyone extra meals today. "

"Yes!" The two women were also very happy to hear that there was meat for lunch. After all, in this era of scarcity, if you are not a wealthy family, you really can't eat meat every day.

An Chuxia and Shi Yu walked towards the cotton field, passed by the corn field, and saw that the stalks of the seedlings were waist-high.

But Shiyu's legs were relatively long, and the corn seedlings could only reach the height of his thighs.

An Chuxia took a detour and went to see a few acres of seedlings that had been planted for more than a month. She squatted on the ridge of the field to check the tillering rate of the seedlings.

After reading it, An Chuxia frowned slightly. Perhaps it was because the weather in the capital was cool after all, and the tillering rate of the seedlings was not too high.

In such a situation, we can only increase the number of times of fertilization twice to ensure the length of the ears and the fullness of the seeds when the farmyard manure is spread in the later stage, which can also increase the yield of rice.

Qingshi Town where An Chuxia was originally located, the location and temperature there are like the modern Anhui and Zhejiang areas, and it is a place suitable for growing rice.

Even so, the rice yield there is not high. During the harvest, the yield is two to three hundred catties per mu. If there is a slightly less rainy year, it is not bad to produce more than 100 catties.

It's just that the rice planted in this dynasty was directly sprinkled on the field to let it grow. During the period, apart from pulling weeds, even fertilization was only sprinkled once before planting the rice.

The tassels produced in this way are short and thin, and the yield is not high as one can imagine.

An Chuxia saw the ducks raised in the village looking for food in the green seedling fields, and thought that she didn't know the yield of the rice she planted with the modern transplanting method.

After all, she is still in the groping stage in this area and is not professional.

Shi Yu saw An Chuxia squatting there and counting the roots and shoots of the grain seedlings. He grew up in gold and jade, and he didn't know what she was doing.

So he asked, "Xia Xia, why are you counting this?"

An Chuxia washed his hands in the paddy field next to him, and then replied: "The roots and buds of the seedlings will grow more tillers, and the ears of rice will grow more in the future. This way, the natural yield of rice will be more when it matures. Do you understand, Xiao Yuyu!"

Shi Yu's pink cheeks flushed when An Chuxia called Xiao Yuyu, she lowered her head and followed obediently behind An Chuxia who had already walked forward.

The two walked to the cotton field, and the cotton seedlings were already as high as An Chuxia's thighs.

At the beginning, I saw a lot of cotton, and the cotton wool was less than [-] catties of seeds except for the wool seeds.

Two to five cotton wool seeds are planted in each soil hole with a distance, and less than four mu of land will be planted.

In the entire Zhuangzi's 120 mu of land, except for about five mu of paddy fields and four mu of cotton, An Chuxia was able to plant corn on the other 100 mu.

The people bought from the Zhuangzi planted the vegetables they usually eat in the more than two acres of land specially reserved for them to grow some other plants in front of their houses.

An Jinchen and Runsheng were weeding the cotton field with a dozen servants. Hearing the voice, he looked up and saw An Chuxia happily showing his big white teeth.

"Xia Xia, why are you here?!"

An Chuxia hadn't seen her brother for a while, and she also smiled happily and said, "Come and see you, and I'll teach you how to beat cotton's male branches by the way.

In this way, the cotton seedlings will grow stronger, and the fruits will be much larger. The leaves of the seedlings will not be so dense and well ventilated, and they will not be prone to pests. "

The dozen or so servants who were bought were all farmers who had been farming, and they had never seen what the queen asked them to plant.

I don't know what kind of food it grows, but the seedlings are growing strong.

"Slave, please greet the lady!" More than a dozen servants stood up and saluted An Chuxia.

An Chuxia smiled at them and nodded, "...just do your own thing!"

The servants squatted down and continued to pull the grass in the field.

An Chuxia said to An Jinchen and Runsheng: "Brother, Brother Runsheng, come with me, and I will teach you two how to branch cotton."

"Xiaoxia, in the book that teaches people how to grow food, can it really increase food production?"

Runsheng saw that he and Chen had been busy for a few months, leading people to plant a large area of ​​green cotton, corn, and rice seedlings, and he was full of satisfaction in his heart.

"I'm also planting according to the method in the book, and I'll know if I can get a high yield until the autumn harvest.

But judging from the growth of these seedlings now, the harvest should not be too bad. "

An Chuxia passed by the nearby Zhuangzi when she came here, and saw that most of the two to three hundred acres were planted with soybeans, some other grains of this era.

When she came occasionally, she would see people working in the fields, but she had never seen the owner of the village.

An Chuxia bent down and began to teach An Jinchen and Runsheng, knocking down those branches with thick branches and lush leaves, but which did not bear fruit.

If these cotton branches, commonly known as male branches, are not broken off, not only will they not bloom and bear fruit, but they will also affect the growth of the entire cotton plant.
