Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 57

Aunt Guo put down the cloth in her hand and took the lead to stand up, "Ma'am, the daily food and clothing expenses in our house are pretty good, and generally wealthy families may not eat better than us, and we can't Going to the fields to help Madam, I can only do some light work, I really can't afford Madam's generous reward."

Autumn Equinox and the others also agreed, and Mu Ai ignored their words, and asked Chun Equinox to pick a pair from each other, and retorted with a smile, "Whoever said you didn't do much work, I know in my heart, if you don't wash Clothes, don’t cook, what do they wear and eat when they go to the fields. Let’s not talk about these, you don’t even have a piece of jewelry on your body, and when you go out, others think that our family is too poor to open the pot. You can do whatever you like Take it, when the mansion becomes rich in the future, you will have gold hairpins, then you will look down on this broken silver hairpin."

Xia Zhi heard what Madam said, and was the first to take the set of hibiscus into his hands, and knelt down to thank him with a smile, his voice was clear and sweet, and he was full of joy.Others also took a set and knelt down to thank them.

Mu Ai helped them again helplessly, and said angrily, "There will be more time to give you things in the future. You kneel every time, and I will get tired just by helping you. Remember to kneel less in the future."

"Yes, ma'am." Everyone smiled and answered loudly.Mu Ai chatted a few more gossips with them, then ordered them to leave, and turned back to the inner room.

Leaning comfortably on the bed, while eating grapes, she continued to practice peeling rice grains with her mind in the space. Counting the time, she has been practicing like this for a month. Although she is still far away from her goal, the effect is not bad. It's obvious.Now she can do things as usual every day, she can still keep the aura outside her body, and peel the rice grains quickly in the space. .With a thought, a book in the space appeared in the corner of the small hall, and with another movement, it was retracted instantly.The range of retracting and retracting at will has been expanded to ten meters. With curiosity, I tried to throw a small stone out with spiritual power, and the vase on the table was smashed to pieces.

Mu Ai didn't expect that she would throw it casually, the force would be so great, she was frightened, but after thinking about it, she immediately became happy again. Does this mean that she has more than aura besides self-protection? Has the same attack capability? .

Last winter, she accidentally discovered that the spiritual energy shield can be placed outside the body for a radius of one meter, and it can block dead branches falling from the tree.This gave her confidence, at least after practice, she would be able to protect herself at critical moments.But the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and sometimes she can only hide when she feels in danger, which makes people feel a little depressed. It would be great if she could fight back quickly.Is this a dream come true now?
The more Mu Ai thought about it, the happier she was, she looked around a few times, and planned to find another target to try, but unfortunately, when the summer solstice, winter solstice and autumn equinox heard the movement, she ran in like a swarm, so she had to give up this idea, and said something casually. He used an excuse to cover up the reason why the vase broke, and then hurriedly hid in the room and continued to practice peeling the rice husk vigorously.

All the sweet potatoes and ginger and garlic planted in the space were taken out by Muai, except for the ones to be reserved for seedlings. Ginger and garlic are easy to handle, and the share that will be used in the village is allocated, and the rest will be pulled together when transplanting rice seedlings in a few days. Just go to the small village and plant the fields.Sweet potatoes are a bit troublesome, and they need to raise seedlings in advance.Guo Huai led people to make another five sheds in a hurry. In addition to the vernal equinox, which needed to continue to record, the summer solstice and autumn equinox also put down their work at hand. They took a knife and began to divide the sweet potato molds according to the buds. After the sheds were built , put these molds tightly inside, cover with sand, pour spiritual water, and wait for the seedlings to emerge.

After a few more days, the rice seedlings in the sixty sheds had already grown their fourth leaves. Mu Ai ordered Mu Wu, who had been in charge of the seedling field for half a month, to remove all the linoleum cloth and let the rice seedlings grow. It is exposed to the air day and night in order to adapt to the outside temperature.Everyone watched carefully until the fifth leaf grew, Mu Ai ordered Aunt Guo to cook two good dishes, and Ah Da and the others were full.On the second day, just after the sun came out of the top of the mountain, a shed of seedlings was raised and carried to the paddy field.According to Mu Ai's idea, she wanted to jump down to demonstrate the rice planting in person, but due to the etiquette and rules of this time and space, she can't be disheveled as a woman, so she could only stand on the ridge of the field to explain, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit in her heart. impatient.Guo Huai knew how much his wife attached importance to this land, so he was the first to jump barefoot into the muddy ground that had been soaked in water for five or six days. He planted the seedlings one inch deep in the mud, tried to raise his hand, and saw that the seedlings did not float up, so he looked at the ground with a happy face.Muai praised repeatedly, and gestured for him to put a ridge between his legs, so that he could plant three ridges side by side. Guo Huai did the same, and then moved forward to estimate the distance of six or seven inches, and then planted two more trees, just like this slowly. With the quasi-head in hand, the speed also increased.Ada and the others looked at it for a while, and they didn't think it was too difficult, and they also went down to the field one after another, and inserted them in a similar manner.Each of the seven people had three ridges, and soon one mu of land was planted. Although the seedlings were a bit crooked, it was not bad for the first time.

Everyone was also proficient, and when Qingfeng Mingyue brought the second batch of seedlings, they continued to work.Seeing that there were people from her own house all around, Mu Ai rolled up her sleeves secretly, put her hand in the bottom of the field to test the ground temperature, but got mud all over her arm, and Chun Equinox hurriedly put the notebook in her hand on a small Cloth bag, and then, took a handkerchief and wiped the wood ai clean.Mu Ai frowned slightly. I don't know if I don't try it. The ground temperature above three inches in this field is still mild, it should be about five or six degrees, but it's a bit cold below three inches. Looking at the people who are not far away, they are working in full swing. Several people turned around and told Xia Zhi, "Xia Zhi, you go back and tell Aunt Guo to boil more pots of hot water. Those who go to the fields at noon should soak their feet in hot water first. In addition, prepare a jar of wine for everyone to drink. , to get rid of the cold."

"Yes, ma'am." Xia Zhizheng was helping to transport the seedlings with an excited expression on his face. After listening to Muai's order, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but forgot that his hand was stained with mud, and immediately turned into a little cat , she was impatient again, before the vernal equinox and the others reminded her, she ran back to deliver the letter, leaving the unscrupulous master and servant behind laughing so hard that their stomach hurts.

Fewer people eat better, more people work better.In one morning, the four acres of land were planted. Everyone returned to the mansion, joked with each other, washed their feet with hot water, and drank a bowl of grain wine while eating. The whole body became hot from the inside out, and there was no trace Cold feeling.Guo Huai was afraid of delaying his work in the afternoon, so he sent them to rest. He felt a little drunk at the moment, and wanted to find a place to squat for a while.Unexpectedly, Wen Bo came to report that it was the second son of Mr. Wang's family who came to visit.He was just taken aback, his master is a widowed woman, and the men in the village have always known to avoid suspicion, and they always let their own women come forward, so why did this one come to the door on his own initiative.After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the medicinal herbs that Mr. Wang had entrusted to take care of years ago were still in his wife's yard. He must have brought the medicinal herbs.
