The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Lu Guang watched for a while and then left.

I have to go to Lao San's house later and ask for details.

Not only Lu Guang wanted to ask, but everyone in the village was also curious.

However, most people don't have a good relationship with Lu Zheng's family enough to ask casually, and are too embarrassed to visit.

"Eldest brother, second brother." Lu Zheng looked at the two brothers who came to the door in surprise.

Lu Guang and Lu Ming glanced at him and walked directly in, saying as they walked: "We have something to do with you."

"Oh." Lu Zheng nodded, closed the door and entered the house.

"Eldest brother, second brother, what do you want from me?" Lu Zheng asked as he walked to the main room and sat down, looking at the two of them.

Lu Ming glanced at Lu Guang, and Lu Guang said, "I saw Mian Niang tinkering with something different in the fields. I heard that it can increase the grain harvest. What's going on?"

He was in the field just now, with so many people watching, and it was hard for him to ask in detail.

"So that's what happened." Lu Zheng was slightly startled after hearing this.

Lu Guang and Lu Ming raised their eyebrows and looked at him. Lu Zheng sighed softly and said: "A few days ago, Mian Niang asked me for a field. She said that there was a new method of growing rice and she wanted to try it. I didn't. Agree. As a result, she went to buy a piece now."

Lu Guang frowned, and after a moment he said, "I asked Mian Niang in the field, and she said it was uncertain how much the harvest could be increased. I want to ask, do you have any idea?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "Mian Niang said this. I have no idea how to plant it."

"Hey! To be honest, I don't have any confidence in my eldest brother and my second brother."

"It's just that I have figured it out these days. If it fails, the land will lose a year's harvest. Our family can still afford the gamble now."

I won’t talk about the one-thousand-jin harvest now. It’s too scary!

After finishing speaking, Lu Zheng noticed that the two brothers frowned and said nothing, and asked tentatively: "Eldest brother, second brother, do you have any ideas?"

Lu Guang and Lu Ming looked at each other and looked at Lu Zheng, "We want to try it too."

"Brother, second brother, this matter is risky, you should be careful!" Lu Zheng was stunned and advised, "If you really want to follow the planting, wait until this autumn harvest to see the results."

"If we can really increase the harvest, Mianniang will have experience next year, and you will be able to follow suit and plant more smoothly."

Lu Guang waved his hand, "Your second brother and I have thought clearly about this matter. Even if there is no harvest, we will not blame anyone."

"If it really comes to fruition, Mianniang can't do this work alone. Everyone should follow and pick the fruits. We will all follow the planting. If there are any problems or discoveries, everyone will explore and discuss them together."

"If it doesn't work out, it's our own family's business and it won't affect anyone else."

Hearing this, Lu Zheng's heart warmed up, "Thank you, eldest brother, second brother."

Lu Guang glared at him, "We're all brothers, so what's the point of thanking you? Besides, if it's really successful, we will also benefit."

Lu Zheng smiled relaxedly, "Brother is right. I will tell Mian Niang when she comes back."

"However, there are two things that the eldest and second brothers can prepare first."

"Oh, what?" Lu Guang and Lu Ming looked at him at the same time.

The corners of Lu Zheng's lips slightly raised, and he said: "Two fingers wide, a six-foot-five-long piece of bamboo, and a seven-foot-wide oilcloth. Mian Niang said that the length of the oilcloth should be determined according to the length of the box."

Lu Guang and Lu Ming looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes. They didn't understand what these two things were used for.

However, since they need it, they will prepare it first.

"How many bamboo pieces are needed?" Lu Guang asked.

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "The field Mian Niang tried to plant was one-third of an acre. She asked me to prepare thirty stems."

"Okay, we understand." Lu Guang and Lu Ming nodded.

They figured out how much they would need, since there was a lot of bamboo anyway.

"In that case, let's go back and prepare first. When Mian Niang comes back, you can talk to her first, and then we'll come."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Okay. Big brother, second brother, I'll see you off." "No need." Lu Guang waved his hand and stood up, leaving with Lu Ming with his hands behind his back.

Lu Guang and Lu Ming had just left for a while when Lu Zhiqian and Lu Kangcheng came again.

The two of them came for the same purpose as Lu Guang and Lu Ming, they both came to find answers.

Lu Zheng also told them what he told Lu Guang and Lu Ming.

"Uncle Zheng, thank you for clarifying our doubts. Uncle Kangcheng and I will leave first." After hearing the answer, Lu Zhiqian and Lu Kangcheng said goodbye.

The two of them didn't say anything else, unlike Lu Guang and Lu Ming, who just made the decision directly.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Zhiqian is too polite, go slowly."

After the two left, Lu Zheng sighed. There were probably many people in the village who wanted to know.

If someone comes to ask, he will tell the folks. No one asked, and he would not take the initiative to promote it.

Let's go see if Mian Niang needs help!

As soon as she reached the field, Mianniang came ashore.

"Mian Niang, are you done?" Lu Zheng glanced at the field and saw a short pile of mud as long as the field ridge. That should be the box Mian Niang was talking about.

Tang Mian shook his head, "No, we still need to smooth the surface. I want to go back and get a pole."

"After the surface is smoothed, you can sow grain seeds in two or three days."

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, "So early?"

Generally, seeds are sown in late February, when the weather gradually warms up, making it easier for seedlings to emerge.

However, the first month of the new year has just ended!

Tang Mian smiled and said, "This method is different. You have to sow the seeds earlier."

Lu Zheng paused and nodded, "Okay. However, there is no rush for a day or two. You have been tired for most of the day, so just stop here. I will do the smoothing of the surface tomorrow."

Tang Mian looked at the fields and had no objection, "That's hard work, Dad."

Doing this for the first time is really tiring.

Lu Zheng smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, let's go. I'll get the things."

After saying that, he took the hoe from Tang Mian's hand.

"Before I went out, your uncle and uncle came to our house and asked about this matter. They said they wanted to follow me." Lu Zheng walked in front and said.

Tang Mian paused, a little surprised, "The eldest uncle and the second uncle really want to follow suit, do both aunts agree?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Your two aunts usually don't have any opinions on matters decided by your uncle and uncle."

"Okay, I'll teach the eldest uncle and the second uncle later. However, I don't know how much I can harvest." Tang Mian responded.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, they know what's going on."

"Later, I will call your eldest and second uncle to my home. You can tell them in detail what to do."

Tang Mian nodded, "Okay."

After returning home, Lu Zheng put down his hoe and went to notify Lu Guang and Lu Ming.

The two immediately put down what they were doing and followed Lu Zheng.

When Lu Zheng took them home, Tang Mian would wash off the mud and change his clothes.

"Uncle, second uncle." Tang Mian looked at Lu Guang and Lu Ming sitting in the main room and said hello.

"Mian Niang is here, come on, tell us carefully." Lu Guang said excitedly when he saw Tang Mian coming in.
