Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 61

Mu Ai was amused by her and laughed.A few days ago, she sealed the corner door leading to the second courtyard here, and only left the small door from her own courtyard. Every night, she wore a bathing suit, soaked in the water to cool off the heat, and even lay on an air mattress Take a nap.The spring equinox was better. Seeing that she was dressed so "revealing", she just opened her mouth in shock. Xia Zhi was the fastest to accept it. Although she was also very shy, but after a while, she listened to her persuasion and put her feet in the water to play. Only the autumn equinox The two girls, Dongzhi and Dongzhi, were so red that they could bleed, and they couldn't persuade them, so they turned to guard the two doors, for fear that someone would break in suddenly and ruin their wife's reputation.This made Mu Ai really dumbfounded, it had been seven or eight days, although the two of them no longer guarded the door, but every time they saw her wearing a swimsuit, they would immediately turn around and avoid her.

The spring equinox entered the small gate, holding a rice seedling more than two feet high in his hand, his face was slightly reddish from the sun.These days, she went to the rice fields twice a day to record the growth of the rice seedlings, and her skin color was obviously darker.Mu Ai called her to the pool, stretched out her hand to paddle, took the rice seedling in her hand, took a closer look at it by the light, and nodded happily, "Do you see the curled leaf in the middle, what is wrapped in it is There will be rice ears in the future! On the vernal equinox, are there already many rice seedlings like this in the fields?"

The spring equinox took the tea from the autumn equinox and drank it all in one go, and then said, "Not many, I just found this one, but it seems that the other rice seedlings are about to grow like this."

"Sowing seedlings with slight water, turning green in deep water, tillering with thin water, enough for seedlings to dry the field, enough water for booting, moist..." Muai muttered the principles of rice irrigation, then turned her head and said, "Okay, this is the time It’s the booting stage, and I’ll find someone to tell the small courtyard to let them open the embankment to pour water into the rice fields after dinner, and the depth of the water should not exceed one inch.”

"Understood, ma'am, I'll go right away." Chunfen promised to leave, but Muai stopped her, "You should rest for a while when you come back, and let Dongzhi run for you." Then she turned around and called Dongzhi, "Winter solstice, don't wipe it. If you wipe the floor again, there will be holes. Go to the front yard and find someone to tell the small yard to open the embankment after dinner and keep the water in the rice fields below one inch."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away." Dong Zhi answered in a low voice, then quickly opened the door and went to the front yard with her head down.

Mu Ai couldn't help laughing again, the women here are too conservative, if they see a modern nude bathing place, the blood vessels on their embarrassing faces might explode.

Turning around and seeing that the spring equinox was still observing the rice seedlings carefully, and writing carefully in the notebook, Mu Ai smiled and pulled her hand down, "Okay, write again when you have free time in the evening, you have been running around the rice fields these days, and you are so dry." It’s almost the same color as black charcoal. When the night gets darker, take off all the lanterns, and you come in to soak, I’ve added some good things to this pool, and I’ll keep it for a few days and you’ll come back in vain.”

Chun Equinox looked at his wife's slender jade legs, and lowered her head shyly, but touched her cheeks that were slightly sore from the sun, and she was a little tempted.Mu Ai didn't force her, jumped ashore, took a piece of cotton cloth to wipe off the water on her body, and went back to the house to change into a loose and comfortable silk pajamas to prepare for dinner.

After the season of planting and transplanting rice seedlings in spring, the management is relatively easy in summer. Everything in Xiaozhuang is taken care of according to the four acres of rice fields at home. Housekeeper Guo has been in touch with both sides, and nothing has gone wrong.The [-] acres of sweet potatoes, sunflowers, ginger and garlic in the village are taken care of by two cows every day, and the growth is said to be quite good.She doesn't need to worry about these two places. The four mu of vegetable field outside the courtyard has been planted for more than a month, and it has begun to bloom and bear fruit rapidly in the past few days.

The day before yesterday, Xiao Heng personally brought someone to pick a basket of cucumbers that had just grown to four inches long, and launched them as a new dish in the restaurant this month. If she hadn't insisted that the beans and eggplants were too small, the persimmons would still be raw , I'm afraid he has to take back some of everything.

Now Xiankelou is the number one name in Huawang City, the absolute leader, and no restaurant owner dares to be different from him, because whether they cut prices to grab customers or find a few famous actors in the troupe to attract customers , These old methods are no longer useful.To put it bluntly, those who are in the restaurant business rely on the dishes.Their dishes have not changed for many years, except that they are boiled or steamed, and there is nothing new.Looking at the dishes of Xiankelou, I wish I could renovate them every day. Not only are the dishes novel, but even the ingredients are something people like me have never seen before.Everyone in this city counts as one, but anyone who has some money in their pockets or who comes to discuss business from other places will go to the Xiankelou to order two dishes and try them, and if they finish eating today, they will definitely try it tomorrow, thumbs up Pick, this dish is novelty and tastes good.Well, Xiao Heng is also a sensible person, he knows how to stay on the front line in life, and I really want to see him in the future.Every month, he will pick out a few recipes from his restaurant's new dishes and send them to his colleagues. As long as he follows them, the taste will not be much different from his.Therefore, those who could not find a place in the Cyclamen Restaurant, or those who were not so well-off, turned to these restaurants. The price was affordable and the taste was similar. the previous level.On the surface, it seems that nothing has changed, but several restaurant owners know that it is a big loss, because the level of the restaurant has been obviously pulled apart.Now that they can go to Xianke Tower to have a meal, they are all people of status, whether it is money or power, they can be counted in the Kao City, and they are all ordinary people here.Depressed and depressed, these colleagues also have to admire Xiao Heng's heart. If he opens a few branches at this time and grabs all the business, it will definitely be very easy.But he didn't, he just occupied the highest level of consumption, and he didn't mean to expand at all.The bosses of various companies were kneaded by his hard and soft hands, and they all resigned to their fate.

In fact, Xiao Heng was also depressed. Ever since the restaurant became popular a few years ago, he has been in pain and happiness.The families of family acquaintances in the city, the families of the powerful, or friends who have business dealings with him, send posts to his house all day long, and when he goes to the banquet in a mere manner, they will bring it up after a few words. , Mother's birthday, friends gathering and many other reasons, in short, let him, the boss, save a good private room, or develop a good dish, make the elderly happy, or earn face with friends.Originally, this was a good thing, his restaurant is very popular, but the bad thing is that there are too many people like this, and it is impossible to get rid of them. It doesn't matter who he pushes. , or the other party's identity is not good enough to offend, so he asked the old shopkeeper to explain.As the number of dishes increased, the restaurant became a well-deserved top-end restaurant, and he was even more embarrassed. People often came to invite people from the house, or simply visited him, forcing him to live in the small village with Mr. Zhang. I really can't go home.Now, the new vegetables here in Muai have come down again, and he can imagine that his restaurant will be even more popular, so he can only continue to suffer and be happy...
