Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 340 Benefits of Melons and Fruits

"Auntie, I'm pretty good here. There are many interesting things in Zhuangzi, which are much more interesting than in the city. I grew up in the village since I was a child, and I know all these things very well, and I don't think there is any hardship. It's really good. My aunt knew it after living in Zhuangzi for a few days, it's really interesting."

Qiaoyun understood very well that Aunt Wei felt sorry for her, but Qiaoyun didn't think there was anything wrong.Today, compared to her being in Qijia Village, it is a sky and an underground.Now when she works, she does it for herself, according to her mood.Unlike before, if you don't work, you will be beaten, and you won't get enough to eat if you work.

Qiaoyun didn't think there was anything wrong with this, on the contrary, she felt very happy.Now she is free, and the large field in front of her, as well as the Zhuangzi, belong to her.Looking at the harvest scene in front of her, she will have a special sense of accomplishment.

Although Aunt Wei couldn't understand Qiaoyun's thoughts, but seeing the happy and proud expression on Qiaoyun's face, she understood to some extent that Qiaoyun really liked this place.Aunt Wei shook her head, this girl is really different, she has never seen any girl who likes farming.

"Since the girl really likes this place, the servant will not talk too much. It's just that the girl should take good care of herself, and don't tire herself out and get tanned, otherwise the servant will not be able to do business with the eldest son." Wei Wei The aunt didn't give up, and babbled a few more words.

Qiaoyun smiled and didn't answer, and said after a long time, "Auntie is also tired all the way, the weather is too hot, hurry up and enter the Zhuangzi. There are new melons and fruits in the Zhuangzi, and I have people put them in the well water Well, let's go, I'll take you there." While speaking, Qiao Yun helped Aunt Wei into the carriage, directed the driver, and entered Zhuangzi all the way.

Several carriages came to Zhuangzi along the road pointed by Qiaoyun. At the moment, most of the men, women and children in Zhuangzi were in the fields. There were no people in the Zhuangzi, and it was very quiet.Several coachmen stopped in front of the yard where Qiao Yun lived, and then everyone in the carriage got out of the carriage one after another.

An's hugged her son, while Yue Rong got out of the car with her belly puffed out with the help of the girl. Both of them looked a little bit unwell, and they looked really tired.Especially Yue Rong, she has been pregnant for almost half a year, and her stomach is not small at the moment, and the distance from Haining to Muyang is more than 200 miles, to be honest, it is really tossing.

Qiaoyun saw An Shi and Yue Rong behind her, and hurried forward to support Yue Rong, "Oh, my good sister-in-law, why did you come here too? I also said that I will send my elder brother back to Haining tomorrow." , it’s not good that your family can’t be reunited during the holidays, right? My sister-in-law has come with you, you have a big belly, so what if something happens on the way?”

Just like Aunt Wei was worried about Qiaoyun, Qiaoyun couldn't help but started nagging when she saw Yuerong like this.While talking, he helped Yue Rong into the yard, went directly to the reception room in the front yard, and arranged for An Shi and Yue Rong to sit down.

"Sister-in-law Lin, sister-in-law, please sit down and rest for a while. Mr. Lin and my eldest brother are at the weaving workshop, and they come back for lunch at noon. At this moment, everyone in the village is also busy in the field. No one reported it. Sister-in-law, don’t worry, it won’t take long, it’s almost noon.”

While talking, Qiaoyun turned around and went out, went to the well in the backyard, and took out the melons and fruits that had been washed and packed in the well water.There were watermelons, melons, cherries, apricots, all of these, and a basin full of them was brought to Aunt Wei, An Shi and others.

"Taste it quickly. These are the melons and fruits grown in our village. They are very sweet. They have been frozen in the well water for a long time. Eat some to quench your thirst." Qiaoyun smiled and cut the watermelon with a knife and distributed it to everyone.

Aunt Wei An and the others drove for half the afternoon, and the weather was hot. At this moment, it was really hot and sweating profusely, and the throat was about to smoke.Seeing such fresh melons and fruits suddenly, everyone couldn't help it, they took them and ate them.

The watermelon entered the mouth, and there was a hint of sweetness in the coldness. It was much sweeter than expected. Aunt Wei couldn't help being a little surprised, "Girl, why is there a watermelon on the Zhuangzi at this time? I haven't seen it in Haining Prefecture yet." Well, we were in Muyang yesterday, and we didn’t seem to see anyone selling watermelons?”

Qiaoyun laughed when he heard the words, "Auntie doesn't know, our watermelons are also raised in advance. These are the methods that Uncle Liu and I came up with, mixing watermelons and melons in the cotton fields, and then raising the watermelons and melons in advance. Raise the seedlings and transplant them into the fields when the time comes. This way the melons and fruits will mature earlier, nearly half a month earlier than the usual method."

"The watermelons and melons produced in our farm have been supplied to some big households in Muyang County these days, and the melons and fruits from other people's homes have not yet come down. The current price is more than double than normal. The watermelon alone can earn a lot of money in the past few days."

Speaking of these, Qiaoyun is very proud, these are all the methods she came up with.Weave the nutrient bowl with wheat straw, fill the soil, and raise seedlings in advance.A shelf is set up on the seedbed for raising seedlings. During the day, the straw curtains above are opened to let in the sunlight, and at night they are covered with straw curtains to keep warm.In this way, although the seeds are planted early, they will not be damaged by the low temperature at night.

When the watermelon seedlings are almost grown, the wheat straw will be almost rotten.When the time comes, move the clods of soil directly to the field, and the root system of the melon seedlings will not be damaged. Basically, there is no need to slow down the seedlings, and they will grow almost normally.

In this way, the melon seedlings will develop half a month and nearly 20 days earlier than those in ordinary fields, and of course the melons will form earlier.When the big households in Muyang County learned that the melons and fruits could come here in advance, they all came to place orders.The watermelons on Zhuangzi have been sold for more than ten days, and a lot can be sold every day. It can be said that the supply exceeds the demand.

Of course, normal watermelons are almost ripe, so they won't be so popular in a few days.But even so, just selling melons in the first half month or so alone earned almost a thousand taels of income, which was several times higher than previous years' income.

"Young lady is really capable. This servant can tell that she is proficient in farming. The son really found a treasure." Aunt Yun was full of emotion while eating the watermelon.

When Aunt Yun mentioned Chu Ruifeng, the smile on Qiao Yun's face subsided slightly.It's been two months since Chu Ruifeng went to sea, and I don't know where they are now?Everything is going well?

Aunt Wei was keenly aware of Qiao Yun's emotional changes, so she teased Aunt Yun, and the two stopped talking about Chu Ruifeng. "Miss, how long are you going to live in Zhuangzi? Mrs. Zhizhou often sends people to the mansion to ask the girl when she will return to Haining Prefecture."

"Auntie, I can't go back for the time being. The wheat is being harvested here. After the wheat is harvested, I have to plant other crops. Wait until around August, and the cotton will be harvested, and the weaver will definitely be busy at that time. For a while, I don't have time to go back." Qiao Yun likes Zhuang Zishang, but doesn't like to go back to Haining City.
