Chapter 48
After making arrangements for the workshop, Zheng Qiuyun asked Sun Peng to lead the villagers to practice. Sun Peng had nothing else to do, so he readily agreed.

Someone was responsible for both things, so Zheng Qiuyun began to teach garlic growing.The village is not big, but the people are not small. If Zheng Qiuyun taught from door to door by himself, he would be exhausted.

She chose two good farmers, one named Feng Da and the other Kong De. Feng Da was responsible for planting garlic, and Kong De was responsible for waiting for the garlic to mature before purchasing it.

Zheng Qiuyun first carefully taught Feng Da how to grow garlic, and then asked him to start a class to teach villagers who were willing to grow garlic.

Feng Da first went to Li Zheng to explain his intention, and Li Zheng was also very polite to them.

Li Zheng asked each family to send a representative to learn. Some people heard that garlic can be sold at a high price and were very motivated to learn. However, some people did not believe it at all and were unwilling to grow garlic because they were not short of money.

They directly questioned Feng Da, "You said that the price of garlic is higher than that of grains, are you serious?"

Feng Da said: "It's true, I have reserved three acres of garlic for my own family."

"There is no basis for what you say. If you lower the price when the time comes, we will have no way to survive!"

"Yes."

"Why should we believe you!"

Feng Da was not in a hurry, "We can sign a contract, and when the garlic matures, we will send someone to collect it, and we will get both money and goods."

He smiled and said: "We won't force anyone who doesn't want to plant, so please leave on your own. Next, I will teach you how to sow."

As soon as he said this, many people left. There was still work in the fields, and they didn't want to listen to his nonsense here.

Feng Da looked at the remaining half of the people and explained first, "We won't lie to others, but you have to keep your promise. You can't sell garlic to others privately, and you have to watch your own land and don't let it be stolen."

The people who stayed behind were forced to have no choice but to give it a try. They would not let others steal their things again.

Feng Da applied what he learned now and divided these families into twenty groups according to the distance where they lived, and selected a smart young man for each group.

He asked these young people to stand in front and said: "Come here and watch carefully how I sow seeds. After I leave, if there are still people who don't understand, please explain it to them in detail."

The selected young people nodded solemnly and studied patiently as if they were taking on a big responsibility.

The selected garlic seeds have been treated in advance by Zheng Qiuyun to prevent pests.Feng Da first dug out shallow trenches with a rake, then pressed the garlic seeds into them, and then covered them with soil with his hands. It was not difficult.

After teaching sowing, we also need to teach how to water and keep warm from the cold.

In particular, it is emphasized that when the garlic sprouts come out next year, the garlic sprouts must be pulled out so that the garlic can grow well.

The people who came to learn were very motivated. After trying it a few times, they got the hang of it.

One after another, people from other villages wanted to come and learn. Zheng Qiuyun signed a confidentiality agreement with them and asked Feng Da to teach them.

The villagers are afraid of damaging the seeds, so they have been studying the past and learning new things at home these past few months.As time passed, they couldn't hold it in anymore and kept asking Zheng Qiuyun when they could plant it.

Zheng Qiuyun told them, "Garlic is not at home on August [-]th, so everyone can plant garlic in early August."

As soon as everyone heard the news, they started planting garlic.

Feng Da also needs to grow his own garlic. He doesn’t have cattle, so he drags the garlic and digs ditches in the ground.Then press the garlic cloves into the soil one by one, and finally cover the garlic cloves.

"Feng Da, no one is helping you?" People in the nearby fields talked to him.

Feng Da smiled and said, "My children are still young and the old man is also sick. My wife can't get away."

He wiped the sweat from his body and continued to press garlic into the ground enthusiastically.Several people from the next door family came up to him and picked up the garlic in the frame to help him plant it.

The man from this family said, "Thanks to you for teaching us how to grow garlic, we have hope for next year. Now that our family has finished growing garlic, we are here to help you grow it."

The woman from this family also answered, "Yes, your wife really can't leave. When I finish the work, I will give you some pancakes to save you from having to worry about it."

She originally made pies and sold them, but no one could afford them, so they stopped selling them.

Feng Da quickly refused, "This is impossible."

The kid from this family interrupted again, "Uncle Feng, don't make any excuses. When you taught us before, we didn't have any excuses. We just wanted to help you, no big deal."

Feng Da felt warm in his heart, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Zheng Qiuyun. Last winter, because I was able to work in the workshop, our family did not starve to death. Now after the Chinese New Year, he lent us money to pay taxes. , and taught us farming, she is a great benefactor to our family."

The man in the family lamented, "If my mother could have persisted a little longer, she would have survived. It's a pity that she was so unlucky that she froze to death before Zheng Qiuyun could open his workshop."

The woman said, "Both of us work in Qiuyun. She knows that garlic is being sown now and she has given us a few days of autumn vacation. Where can we find such a reasonable and good person?"

She continued chatting about home life, "When I was working at Qiuyun's place, everything I ate was delicious food, which made our kid very hungry. If garlic can really be sold at a good price, we will also buy two kilograms of pork. Give the kids a taste.”

This family hired workers later, and their children do not have a place in school for the time being.

The child jumped up excitedly, "Really? When will the garlic be sold?"

Vonda answered him, "Get next year."

"Ah?" The child suddenly sat on the ground with his face crossed again, "It's been so long."

The child was very worried, "Does our family have enough grain? Maybe if we plant garlic, there will be no grain."

His father pointed at him and smiled, "I still want you to worry about it. Qiuyun said, if you don't have any grain, go to her on credit. Then you can just take it from the garlic."

The child was no longer worried, "Dad, if someone doesn't grow garlic, can they go to Sister Qiuyun for credit?"

His father rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course not. Qiu Yun is not a rich man. How much grain can he have?"

The two families talked and laughed like this, and planted two acres of garlic before dark.

The man rubbed his waist and said, "Feng Da, there is still one acre left. We will plant it for you tomorrow."

Feng Da quickly waved his hand, "I can just plant the remaining acre myself. You should go to work."

As a result, before he noticed it, several waves of people came to his field just after dawn. They met head-on and were all startled. After talking carefully, they found out that they had finished planting their own crops and came to help Feng. Of species.

"My garlic is well preserved and I grow it at home."

"They are all bought from Qiuyun. What's the difference? I have a lot left over, so I grow my own."

They fought over it and finally agreed on how much land each person would get.After the division was completed, they went into the columbine ditch and planted the garlic seeds in time to finish the work without delaying the work.

Feng Da stood on the ground the next day and saw that his land had been planted by enthusiastic villagers.He was touched and amused.
