The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 263 She also wants to know

When Lu Zheng was dragging the bamboo home, he saw three big dustpans of millet drying in the yard, and Tang Mian who was busy beside the dustpan.

"Mian Niang, why are you drying millet at this time?"

Tang Mian saw Lu Zheng coming back and explained to him with a smile.

"That's it!" Lu Zheng suddenly realized, looking at the grain seeds in the dustpan with a smile, "I understand, you dry it slowly while I peel the bamboo."

It can increase the germination rate!
Very good! Very good!
After Tang Mian finished drying the grain seeds, he turned to Lu Zheng and said, "Dad, the grain seeds will be dried for three days in a row. I will go to the county town tomorrow. I will trouble you to dry the grain seeds."

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Just wait until your mother comes back to tell her about the grain harvesting and leave it to her. If you want to go to the county town tomorrow, who will drive the bullock cart to take you off if I stay at home?"

Tang Mian smiled and said, "We should move a lot of things tomorrow. My third cousin is free these two days. I would like to ask him to go with me."

"That's okay." Lu Zheng thought for a while and nodded, "Don't worry about drying the grain, just leave it to me."

Tang Mian had just told him how to dry the corn seeds. It was just like drying the millet. It was quite simple.

"By the way, have you told your eldest and second uncle about drying the grain?" Lu Zheng thought of his eldest brother's temper. If he didn't tell him, he would be scolded at his door.

Tang Mian also thought of Lu Guang's character, and laughed and said, "Not yet. I'm free now, so I'll go over and tell them, and by the way, I'll tell my third cousin about going to the county town tomorrow."

As for whether the eldest uncle and the second uncle were willing to follow the sun and grow grain, she would not force it.

Lu Zheng responded softly, "Go."

Tang Mian nodded, fetched water to wash off the grain ash on his hands, and turned around and went out.

After Tang Mian left, Lu Zheng lowered his head and began to peel the bamboo.

After a while, Mrs. Li, who had gone out to plow the ground to plant vegetables, came back.

"Old man, why do you think of drying millet today?" After entering the door, Li asked strangely when she saw millet drying in the yard.

Lu Zheng kept peeling the bamboo and said happily, "These are grain seeds. Mian Niang said that they should be sun-dried. There are many benefits."

After that, he popularized the benefits of sun-drying seeds to Mr. Li.

"Really?" After hearing this, Mrs. Li's eyes burst with joy.

Lu Zheng nodded happily, "That's what Mian Niang said anyway. As for the specifics, we have to wait until we try it this year to know."

Li's enthusiasm dropped. It turned out that the matter was still undecided.

"By the way, where is Mianniang?"

"I went to the eldest and second brother's house. Do you have anything to do with her?" Lu Zheng responded to Li's words, but his hands moved very quickly, and his multitasking did not affect the progress at all. "No." Ms. Li shook her head, paused and then said, "When I came back, I met Sister-in-law Kang Cheng. She asked me if I had caught the murderer who poisoned Maizi."

Lu Zheng frowned when he heard this, "How could Mianniang know about this!"

Li Shixun glanced at him and said: "People in the village think that our family is close to the county magistrate. Do you have any news? If such a hateful person is caught, he should be paraded through the streets. They all want to throw him away." A few rotten vegetable leaves.”

After hearing what Li said, Lu Zheng stopped and looked up at her, "There is no news yet. However, Mianniang will go to the county seat tomorrow. When Mianniang comes back, I will ask her if she will go to the county office."

If he really caught someone parading in the street, he would also like to throw away a few handfuls of rotten vegetable leaves.

"Okay, wait until she comes back and ask." After finishing speaking, Li took the hoe and walked to the utility room to put it away.

Coming out of the utility room, Mrs. Li patted the mud on her sleeves and asked casually: "Old man, what did you do with so much bamboo?"

"Mian Niang said that the rice in all the fields this year will be the same as last year's. I will get bamboo blocks to make grain boxes." Lu Zheng took the knife and broke the bamboo with a clang and replied.

Li nodded understandingly, "Then you take your time and I'll make lunch."

There was not much benefit or disadvantage in growing rice according to last year's method, so Tang Mian just let her do it.

Tang Mian came back after the food was ready.

"What took you so long?" Lu Zheng looked at Tang Mian who came in and asked.

Tang Mian chuckled lightly and said, "I helped my eldest and second uncle dry the grain seeds in the dustpan before coming back, so I was a little late."

"Oh, it seems they are willing to use your method." The eldest brother and the second brother were willing to believe Tang Mian, and Lu Zheng was very happy in his heart.

Tang Mian, "Well, yes."

After she told her eldest and second uncle, they both agreed without hesitation and pulled her to dry the grain seeds before letting her go.

Lu Zheng nodded, put down his work and stood up, "Your mother has already prepared the meal, let's eat first."

"Okay." Tang Mian responded softly, fetched water and washed his hands before going to the kitchen.

As soon as the bowl was served, Mrs. Li asked her if she would go to the county government tomorrow.

"Mom, I will go to the county government office."

It had been so many days since the wheat withered, and she also wanted to know what happened next.

Moreover, she also wanted to ask Dr. Wu whether there was any hope for the medicine for mixing rice seeds this year.
