Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 35
It was already afternoon when Sun Xin and Hu Sanniang got off Dengyun Mountain and rode back to Shili Pai. Before reaching the gate of Sunjiazhuang, they met a servant leading a horse. Under the urging, Hu Sanniang left with the maid Ya'er with a face of reluctance. Sunjiazhuang, while Sun Xin took the plants he picked back and prepared to plant them.

As soon as he entered the yard to put down the basket, he saw Sun Li sitting in the room drinking wine.

"I'm back. These six taels of silver are a congratulatory gift from the head of your village."

"Zou Yuan gave three taels, Li Zhi gave two taels, and Gu Jia's family... only gave one tael..."

Sun Xin was a little surprised, and looked at the ingots of ingots on the table: "I'm afraid this money is hard to ask for."

"It's okay, I just don't like people looking down on us like this."

"So what if we are from military households? What if there is no farmland in Dengzhou? As long as we have hands and feet, can't these two grown-up guys still have a face?"

"I know." Sun Xin took the wine bowl from his elder brother and put it on the table.

"Brother, don't worry, as long as our two brothers are here, life will only get better and better. One day, Baoming, no one will be able to look down on our Sun family."

Sun Li looked at Sun Xin, and then laughed loudly: "That's right, that's how a hero behaves like this!"

He took a big gulp of rice wine and exhaled a long breath of wine, as if he had vomited out the stale air in his chest.

When he got up early the next day, a layer of frost holes had been laid on the ground. Sun Xin put his hands in his sleeves, took the medicine basket he brought down from Dengyun Mountain yesterday, and went to the back wall of his small courtyard, and put chamaejasma chamaejasme and peppery polygonum and heartbroken grass were planted in the designated positions, and their growth range was carefully marked with branches.

As for the ginseng ginseng, I deliberately found a shady hillside, carefully hoeed the ground, sprinkled it with fertilizer, and buried a layer of soft sand under the ground, which is easy for the roots of the ginseng to stretch. Carefully planted the ginseng into the soil, and then he specially found branches and other things to build a small shed on top of the small ginseng, so as to avoid the wind and sun, which would suffocate the ginseng in the soil and prevent it from sprouting.

After finishing these tasks, the sky was already bright. Seeing that the farmers had finished their meals and came out with hoes to prepare for work, Sun Xin returned to the village and announced that the harvest of corn would start today.

The planting of summer corn is entirely for the purpose of expanding the seed resources, so the whole planting cycle is messed up, because the planting time is much later than the normal time, although the weather conditions were good when it was planted, but soon When the temperature started to drop, the growth of the corn basically appeared in a horrible state.

If the corn grew like this, if it was Sun Xin's cooperative in the previous life, it would definitely be a loss. As early as when it was tender, it would all be used as silage fodder, but now it has to be harvested.

Seeing that there is frost on the ground, if the corn is not harvested, the corn will rot in the ground.

With one order, the harvesting of the [-] acres of cornfields began in full swing.

With [-] people and enough livestock, it took a very short time to harvest [-] mu of corn. After all the corn was harvested and dried and put into the warehouse, everyone counted the harvest figures of the corn. The final corn yield was seven stone.

Seeing this yield, Sun Xin just wanted to smile wryly. You must know that in his previous life, the yield per mu of corn he easily planted in the experimental field was [-] catties. Qishi didn't even halve its output.

But when this number was heard by other people in Quanzhuang, everyone was dumbfounded.

When farmers these days are used to harvesting only one stone of grain per mu of land, and when they learned that they can actually harvest seven stones of grain per mu of corn, everyone looked at the bright yellow corn kernels with burning eyes, as if That is like a golden mountain.

After hearing the news of the production, Sun Li rushed to Shili Pai from Dengzhou City again, and laughed loudly again looking at the corn kernels that were full of grain.

When all the tenants of Quanzhuangzhuang began to eat cornmeal pancakes as their staple food, Li Zhi and Gu Jia, who had been somewhat unkind to Sun Xin, sneaked into Sun Xin's house to treat him. Congratulations, and then gave each of them a gift of two taels of silver, congratulating the owner on his upcoming marriage.

Originally, they thought that what they needed was to get peanut seeds from Sun Xin, but now that they saw the corn that could produce seven stones of grain from this acre of land, they felt that what they wanted from Sun Xin seemed far away. Not just peanuts.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Sun Xin accepted the gift money from the two without any hesitation, thanked each of them, and took some wine and meat from the warehouse as a gift for them to take back.

Corn is not widely accepted as grain in this era, and it is estimated that it can only be sold at the same price as millet when it is ground into cornmeal and sold.

Sun Xin is not too short of funds in the village now, so he simply didn't sell it. Instead, he stored and dried the more than 200 stones of corn harvested this time and put them in the granary at home.

On the one hand, it is used as rations for the entire Zhuangzi this year, and on the other hand, most of it is prepared to be used for expanded planting next year.

But when the corn was harvested, Sun Family Village did not enter the normal farmland time, and the whole village was busy because of the upcoming happy event.

The owner's wedding is just around the corner.

In the second year of Zhenghe, on the fifteenth day of the winter month, it is advisable to welcome relatives.

On Hujiazhuang on Dulonggang, before dawn, every household in the whole village opened their doors, and thousands of village guests began to get busy with today's big event.

In the Hu family's mansion, Hu Sanniang had already started combing her hair in the middle of the night. At this time, she had already put on a bright red wedding dress, and carefully pressed the flower on her forehead to the mirror. Today is the most important day in her life. Days, no one is more important than her.

When Mrs. Chen came in, she saw that Hu Sanniang had already painted her lip balm, her head full of pearls and emeralds had been inserted heavily, and she was picking ear pliers there.

"Why did you put on the lipstick? You should eat something first. Once you put on this lipstick, you won't be able to speak for the rest of the day."

Hu Sanniang was taken aback for a moment, and then she turned her head to look at the lady who combed her hair behind her who was yelling at her to hurry up and help her put on makeup. Seeing her frightened and afraid to speak, Hu Sanniang whispered to Hu Chen: "I Forget about such things.”

Hu Chen also couldn't help lamenting in her heart, this girl in her family is so infatuated, where is she afraid she will be played around by her husband when she marries?
Could it be that what a mother is like, is her daughter also a normal girl?
Ya'er was holding Hu Sanniang's scarlet dress at the back, the lady and the maid came to the flower hall in cooperation, Hu Sanniang sat down, picked up the small cakes on the table and carefully put them into her mouth, in a very fast way It fills the stomach quickly without ruining the makeup.

Taigong Hu, who was dressed in festive clothes, turned in with a cane and couldn't help coughing when he saw his daughter who was feasting.

"In the future, when you arrive at your new home, you must have a decent appearance, and you must be careful when you walk. You will also be the head of the house."

Hu Sanniang couldn't help but slow down a little when she heard the words, and tried her best to look solemn.

"Daddy, I see."
