Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 60 Yield Problems
"Oh, really? Then I want to try it. The restaurant's new dishes for this month haven't been decided yet. If the ingredients are not hard to find, it's fine to order these two." Xiao Heng said while washing under the service of Xia Zhi. He raised his hand and sat down at the table.Raising his hand, he scooped up a small wonton and ate it, savoring it carefully, the noodles were fragrant mixed with the special taste of leeks and shrimps, it really couldn't be described by the word "fresh", he immediately nodded happily, and said yes again. He picked up a golden pancake with chopsticks and took a bite. He didn't expect it to be crispy and crispy. He hurriedly picked up the falling crumbs with his left hand, and said in surprise, "The autumnal equinox is getting stronger and stronger. It’s popular all over the city in one day, and if the restaurant’s income increases again this month, I’ll definitely give you a big red envelope.”

Autumn Equinox was praised so much that even the bases of his ears were red, and with a snow-white handkerchief twisted in his hand, he whispered, "It's all my wife taught me. I just did it with my own hands. Anyone can do it."

Knowing that she has a gentle personality and is often busy in the kitchen, Mu Ai is not good at words, so she speaks out to help her out, "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. You deserve it. There is no need to be shy. It's not just the autumnal equinox. Zhong, you guys are exhausted from following me, and you have some free time after dinner in the evening, so go to the warehouse to pick some materials to make a new dress."

Chun Equinox quickly smiled and saluted to thank you.Mu Ai sent them off, and while scooping up a spoonful of wontons from the pottery pot and adding them to Xiao Heng's bowl, he said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about taking notes in the future. I'll ask someone to give you the notes after every month." Send it to the mansion. In addition, I suddenly remembered something last night and thought it should be a good thing, so I want to talk to my elder brother."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Heng stopped his chopsticks and looked at her.

Mu Ai didn't pretend to be a joke, and said, "Brother also knows that my family is also a rich family, and I have never been in the farmland. These are all based on my scattered memories. Last night, I suddenly remembered something As a matter of fact, when I was young, I seem to have heard an old servant at home say that this rice grows by the sun, and the longer the sun shines, the faster it will mature. I was thinking that our place is the northernmost part of Baihua Kingdom, Then the south is much hotter than here, and there is no snow in winter, if rice is planted there, two crops can be harvested a year, and the annual yield of [-] jin per mu should be achievable."

"Really?" The more Xiao Heng listened, the more shocked he became, his heart was filled with ecstasy, and he couldn't help but stood up and asked loudly.

When Mu Ai was asked by him, she was also a little dazed, wondering if she had said too much about the output?However, in modern rice cultivation, it is normal to produce 2000 to [-] catties per mu, and it can produce more than [-] catties in two rotations. I have considered various factors such as fertilizers, disasters, and lack of experience in this time and space. , the output has been estimated to be very low.

Xiao Heng on the opposite side was still staring at her with burning eyes, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Brother, although I haven't planted it myself, the climate in the south must be able to grow two crops a year. How to plant it? I still have to plant it there for a year to try. In addition to the yield problem, I think there should be more, not less, and when the rice in our fields is harvested in autumn, we can measure it and have a firm mind.”

"You're right." Xiao Heng sat down again, but kept scooping the spoon in the empty bowl, wondering where his thoughts went?After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "Sister, you don't know that every city in the north and south of our Baihua Kingdom is planted with corn and winter wheat in rotation. Adding the two together, one mu of land can only produce more than 200 catties of grain a year. Let’s not talk about how sweet and delicious this rice is, even if the extra [-] jin of rice is produced every year, it is enough to fill the stomachs of many people..."

Xiao Heng finished his meal and left in a hurry without even taking a sip of tea. Mu Ai stood at the second door watching him, remembering what he said just now, feeling heavy in his heart.If it is true as he said, in the future Baihua Kingdom will save a lot of people from starving to death every year because of her few acres of experimental fields. According to Buddhism, she will accumulate boundless merits, but I don’t know if this merits can be exchanged for her. A life of peace and tranquility, a comfortable life?

It has been almost a year since she came to this different time and space. She seems to be busy all the time. After making money, she is busy building a house. Seeking to be able to protect herself in danger, she stretched herself too tightly.

She should have been torn apart by the wind or fell into the sea and drowned at the moment of the plane crash. In this life, if you think about it seriously, it is purely God's favor, let her pick it up for nothing, and this is also her hard work to make up for this world The reason for this is to be grateful to this world, thank you for traveling here, and having a new life and a new life.Of course, she also hopes that when she can achieve this goal, she can set up a small family business, and it doesn't need to be too big, as long as she has no worries about food and clothing.There is no need to involve too much power, just ensure that no one dares to bully.Ability doesn’t need to be high, it doesn’t need to change the world, turn the rivers and seas upside down, just enough to protect yourself...

Mu Ai is looking forward to this in her heart, but she still has to live and keep busy.When the trees on the mountain were green and some flowers began to bloom quietly, she picked out two boxes of bees one night, put them in the corner of the three small courtyards beside the field, and asked Mu San to take care of them carefully.The days passed by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was mid-June, and the sun began to get hotter. Everyone in the house had already changed into linen summer clothes, which were refreshing and breathable, but they were sweating profusely after only a short while. After Huai asked Mu Ai for instructions, he changed his work schedule, got up early and went to bed late, moved his work to morning and evening to do more work, and hid in the house to rest at noon and tried not to go out.

Mu Ai had someone tidy up the third yard early, and moved all her daily things into the yard, and lived there to escape the summer heat.

A few days ago, Xiao Heng brought Liniang here once. Liniang saw a pool of clear water in the yard, delicate flowers and plants by the wall, a wooden pavilion with a thatched roof, and a spacious and airy house. My son said that she would also build such a place to escape the summer heat, and even made an exception to leave the children at home and stay with Mu Ai for a night.After Mu Ai sent her away, she rewarded Chun Equinox with the jewelry and high-quality yarn she brought.Then, after getting up every day, I would go around the rice fields and vegetable fields. When I met the folks who came to see the novelty, I would gossip and ask them how the sweet potatoes and sunflowers in the fields are growing, and look at their faces. I am delighted to praise, and I am very happy in my heart. Life is only when there is hope and hope that makes people feel happy.

When the sky is about to get dark, winter solstice hangs lanterns on the eaves of the grass pavilion. The light of the candles is reflected through the pink veil, and the pool water and the soft couch are covered with a dreamlike color.Mu Ai changed into her swimsuit and happily swam twice in the pool. After being exposed to the sun for a day, the temperature of the pool water was neither too hot nor too cold.

Gently turn over on the air cushion floating in the water, stretch your body comfortably and lie down on your back.Just turning around during the winter solstice, seeing his wife's fair and plump, exquisite body, she immediately turned around shyly and slipped back into the room along the wall, took a piece of cotton cloth and began to wipe the floor fiercely.
