Chapter 1359 Site Selection
"What have I become?" Looking at herself in the mirror, Li Yaoer couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

She got off the boat at noon yesterday, and it was only half a month before she returned to Lingao after completing the agricultural extension work in Jeju Island.

"This is the rhythm for me to be a model worker," she said on the boat.Volunteering for myself to the Council of Agriculture complained endlessly, and even regretted it a bit.

The Council of Agriculture looks harmonious, but it is actually more brutal than the money mouth used by women as men and men as animals—this clearly shows that both men and women are used as animals.It is common for the veterans who work in the Council of Agriculture to travel to various counties in Hainan. Jeju Island, Shandong, Taiwan, North Vietnam... wherever the flag of the Senate goes, there are almost all veterans of the Council of Agriculture.

During the several months in Jeju Island, she failed to grow ginseng as she had imagined—the latitude of Jeju Island is a little lower.I didn't have time to travel around the mountains and rivers, so I devoted myself to the promotion of potatoes and the detoxification of seed potatoes as soon as I disembarked.The latter is a major hurdle in potato planting. If there is no progress, the potato planting industry in Jeju Island will fall into a state of continuous reduction in production.

Seed potato detoxification technology requires certain hardware and technology, which cannot be done by ordinary farmers, and there is no such hardware foundation in Jeju Island, so Li Yaoer can only adopt the proven and effective technique tested by the Council of Agriculture, that is, Adopt sexual reproduction to save seeds to avoid virus accumulation in seed potatoes caused by asexual reproduction.For this reason, under her auspices, a seed potato breeding base was specially set up in Jeju Island.

It took her several months to get busy with these things, and finally set up the system initially and went back to Lingao to reunite with her husband. It was so-called that she didn't even warm the bed, and was sent to Hangzhou to guide sericulture production.

Li Yao'er felt that her hair was strangled too tightly, and even her scalp hurt a little.She has never had the habit of braiding her hair, but this time she combed a pair of maids, wearing jasper hairpins, and a few freshly plucked tortoise flowers on the maids.

She was wearing a sky-blue narrow-sleeved tunic with a water-red bijia over it.Li Yaoer has only seen this dress in TV dramas, and once saw Hanfu lovers wearing similar clothes in a park——if the person is dressed well, it will still look good.

She looks pretty good in her clothes. After going ashore yesterday, she got dressed up and still looked pretty in front of the mirror for a while.But based on her limited knowledge, she knew that this was a young girl's attire—although modern people generally look tender, people who are nearly thirty years old still feel a little uncomfortable wearing this attire.

And last night, when I met and talked with the indigenous "leader" woman who was in charge of raising silkworms and reeling silk in the villa, the attitude of the other party was obviously that she regarded herself as Zhao Yingong's concubine-in fact, the cover identity arranged for her by the Foreign Intelligence Agency Also this.Li Yaoer felt a little "humiliated".But if you really want to dress up as a lady, it's not convenient for you to carry out your work.

If I want to personally guide silkworm rearing, it is obviously difficult to get close to the working people if the status is too honorable, and it is difficult to convince the public if it is too ordinary.Regardless of whether it is the 17th century or the 21st century, identity is always the most important character attribute.In contrast, the half-slave and half-master status of "the former person" is the most suitable for her to start her work.

It's all right for me to suffer a little bit, but I just wronged my husband. Li Yaoer thought that although it was necessary for the revolutionary work, the husband would definitely feel uncomfortable if he knew about it.I stayed in Jeju Island for several months, and came back to Hangzhou not long after returning to Lingao for reunion.Forget it, how about increasing the number of maids by one more?
While thinking wildly, Furong, the first batch of "first-year students" whom Zhao Yingong took in and educated after he came to Hangzhou, walked in.Her current public identity is Master Zhao's maid, but she is actually an administrative trainee at Hangzhou Station.

"Miss Li, Wang Siniang has already arrived, do you want to send her in?"

"Call her in." Li Yaoer said.

Yesterday she met Wang Siniang in Zhao Yingong's inner house.Seeing this woman who was about the same age as him knelt and kowtowed in front of him, Li Yaoer's mental level was greatly shocked.The woman was slightly older than herself, had three children, and was exquisitely handsome even by 21st-century standards.Kneeling at his feet just like that, kowtowing doesn't count, and he has to wait for her to say "That's all" before he dares to get up.

Whether Li Yaoer was in Lingao or Jeju Island, he was active in the "liberated area" and rarely came into contact with the "original ecology" of the aborigines.Moreover, because of their strong entry in these places, the traditional concept of superiority and inferiority has been broken, and a new hierarchical order has begun to be established.Whether the naturalized people or the aborigines, they all know that the "chief" has a set of etiquette if he is out of favor.Even if someone wants to kneel and kowtow, they will be stopped.But here, she is sitting and accepting the ceremony majestically, and she has to put on an appearance of "it should be".

This time and space is really terrible.Li Yaoer thought to herself, the little favor she had for Daming had disappeared.

After Wang Siniang came in, she kowtowed to greet her as usual, Li Yaoer got up and said politely, telling her "don't be too polite".

According to the arrangement they discussed yesterday, today they will go to the mountain to find a suitable place to build a silkworm house.

"I will trouble you today. Fourth sister-in-law."

"In any case, this is the job of the servants. I still need to work for the girl to go to the survey in person." Wang Siniang said with a smile, "It's just that the girl's clothes are not suitable for going up the mountain. The servant has already asked Steward Cai to prepare clothes for the girl. .”

Now bring a suit of clothes.Because there are no roads to go to many places, the clothes are inconvenient to wear and easily torn.So what she prepared was a blue cloth skirt, a turban for wrapping her head, and a bamboo hat for sunshade—the same attire she wore when she went to the mountains to pick tea.

Li Yaoer was dressed neatly, and Wang Siniang led the way up the mountain.She carries a satchel with her, which is filled with pens, paper, tape measure, spirit level and thermometer, so she can survey the terrain and the surrounding environment roughly at any time.

The silkworm house has certain requirements for the surrounding environment, and Li Yaoer's purpose of coming this time is not only to raise silkworms - she also wants to set up a silkworm breeding farm for the Council of Agriculture.Make preparations for the next silkworm farmers cooperative.

The Council of Agriculture has set up a silkworm farm in Hainan, but the storage and transportation conditions for silkworm eggs are relatively harsh, and silkworm eggs cannot be transported thousands of miles away, so silkworm eggs can only be cultivated locally.

Since it is a breeding site, the conditions for the site are even more stringent.Fortunately, the huge Phoenix Mountain has plenty of places for her to choose from.

The two of them first walked a section of the rocky mountain road, then gradually left the main road and went to the small road.

Most of these roads were gradually opened up after Zhao Yingong managed the villa, and most of them were small paths taken by the servants when they went to work.Most of them are not paved and relatively narrow.The branches on both sides are dense with weeds, and it is very difficult to walk among them.

It is best to build a sericulture farm on a sunny slope, and secondly, there should be trees around it for shade and wind protection. Finally, for the convenience of work and life, it is best to have a water source nearby.In order to expand the scale in the future, the place should not be too small.Limited by these conditions, there are not many places to choose from in Phoenix Villa.

Wang Siniang and Shen Da were dispatched by Cai Shi to walk around the entire Phoenix Villa and its surroundings to see if there were any suitable places to plant mulberry trees, tea trees and raise silkworms.So she knows which places can probably meet the requirements of this "Miss Li".

She took Li Yaoer all the way up the mountain and through the forest, and walked four or five places, but Li Yaoer was not satisfied.Still have to keep watching.Wang Siniang was a little admirable, seeing that Miss Li is also a person who can endure hardships. Even the younger girls in the village can't stand it, but she doesn't care, her movements are still flexible and vigorous, and her words are even more refreshing. Crisp and neat, not at all the coquettish look that "people around you" often have.

The sun was getting closer to the mid-heaven, and Wang Siniang took her to a slightly sunken hillside clearing.A mountain stream is flowing down the slope, and because the terrain is slightly flat, a pool not much bigger than a bath tub has formed among the rocks, and the pool is crystal clear.

"This is also a place, what do you think, Miss?" Wang Siniang asked.

"Okay, it's really nice here." Li Yaoer nodded.

This is really a textbook-style silkworm breeding land: it is on a sunny slope, with good sunlight and ventilation.The windward side is shaded by woods, and there are many big trees around it that can shade the sun.The whole piece of land is about 10 to [-] mu in size, and the slope in most places is very gentle, not exceeding [-] degrees, which is good for drainage of the mountain and will not hinder the construction of houses.And there is water.

"The servant also thinks that the girl will like this place." Wang Siniang was a little proud.

"When we're together, don't call yourself a slave." Li Yaoer said, "It's too outlandish."

"Miss, you are the master's predecessor, how dare a servant like this outer courtyard dare to talk nonsense about you and me?"

Li Yaoer sighed helplessly, she really didn't want to hear the words "Master's predecessors", and she still couldn't deny it.Just change the subject:
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are a veteran of silkworm farming for many years, what do you think of silkworm farming here?"

"Of course the place the girl chooses doesn't matter." Although Wang Siniang felt that Miss Li's choice of place was a bit of a fuss--according to her standards, there are not many places in Hangzhou where silkworms can be raised.However, the surrounding environment here is excellent, so there will be no problem in raising silkworms.

Li Yaoer nodded, stepped on the big rock, took out a thermos with a rattan cover from her schoolbag, and poured a cup of hot tea into her bamboo cup.Nodding at Wang Siniang again, "I have tea here, do you want some too?"

Wang Siniang thought that Mr. Zhao's taste was really different, and Miss Li was really bold and straightforward.Thinking so, there was still a smile on his face: "Thank you, girl, I have a bamboo kettle here."
