The first concubine of farming

Chapter 52
Because the things to be planted in these fields have been planned, Bai Yanshi started to get busy again. She will use the land in the backyard to grow rice seedlings, and the rest of the land will be used to grow watermelon seedlings and grape seedlings. That's right, so when the time comes, you only need to transplant the two kinds of fruits, watermelon and grape, to the sandy land for planting.

The corn seeds and peanut seeds also need to be peeled one by one, so that they can be sown easily, and the seeds of sweet potatoes and taro should be cut well, because there is no place in the backyard for raising seedlings of sweet potatoes and taro, so Bai Yishi plans not to raise seedlings, and directly Just take it to the ground and plant it. For peppers, Bai Yanshi has already cultivated the seedlings in the space, and it will be fine to take them out and plant them.

As early as a few days ago, the head of Bai Village helped Bai Yushi to find the day laborers. There were five of them in total, because their families had a large population, too little land, and their families were poor.

And now is the time when spring plowing is busy, and some rich family's Zhuangzi must recruit some part-time workers who can farm to help, and others can go out to find some part-time workers to do it, so these five people, in order to make life at home better , anyway, there are many people in the family, and they can take care of the little land at home, so they came out to find part-time jobs.

These five short-term workers are also from the Bai family village. When the head of Bai knew that they were going out to find short-term work, the head of the white village immediately went to their house to find them, helped Bai Yanshi to farm, and told them Bai Yanshi The wage conditions offered.

These five day laborers knew from Village Chief Bai that Bai Yanshi was going to recruit people to do part-time farming, and the wages offered were even better than those offered by the rich families in the town and city. They were all excited, so they agreed. I hired Village Chief Bai and went to Bai Yishi to do it.

After all, Bai Yanshi is from the village, and if she can make money in the village, of course it is better to stay in the village than to go out, and now everyone in the village knows that Bai Yanshi has a rich uncle, and they even sent Huachen and Huaxi as gifts. The younger brother went to the school to study, so they were not worried at all that Bai Yushi would not be able to pay the wages, let alone the guarantee from the village head Bai.

Because the five people wanted to thank Bai Yanshi for giving them such a good opportunity, so they all worked hard to help Bai Yanshi tidy up the fields, and they finished tidying up the ten mu of land in a few days.

"Sister Shi, we have already finished the field according to what you said, I don't know what to do next?" The person who asked the question was a middle-aged man, he is the head of the five day laborers, and his name is Bai Xiang. .

Because Bai Yanshi's ten mu of land had already been settled, he came to Bai Yanshi's side and asked.

"Uncle Bai Xiang, the next thing I want to trouble you to do for me is planting seedlings." Standing on the track of her paddy field, Bai Yishi saw that the five day laborers had done it according to her instructions, so she answered Bai Xiang's words.

"Let the seedlings down?" Bai Xiang couldn't react when he heard Bai Yishi's words, and asked instead. He didn't understand what it meant to put the seedlings down.

"Well, let's plant the seedlings," Bai Yishi nodded in response.

"Sister Shi, can I ask a question? What is seedlings? Isn't this paddy field used for planting millet? How do you plant the seedlings you mentioned?"

"Pfft, Uncle Bai Xiang, it's not planting seedlings, but planting seedlings," Bai Yanshi couldn't help laughing when she heard Bai Xiang's words.

"What about planting seedlings, that is to say, the millet I want to plant is not directly scattered in the field, but the seedlings of the millet to be planted." Bai Yanshi explained to Bai Xiang after laughing.

"Growing millet seedlings? This, no, Sister Shi, isn't this millet always tidying up the paddy fields and just sowing it directly? When can we plant millet seedlings? Moreover, there are no millet seedlings to grow Plant it." Bai Xiang heard Bai Yanshi's words and thought that Bai Yanshi didn't know how to grow rice, so he explained to her.

"Uncle Bai Xiang, I know what you said, but my farming method is different from yours. Uncle Bai Xiang, you also know that when my father was alive, he was a good farmer. He also read a lot of agricultural books. It also increased the grain production in our Baijia Village a lot, and the planting method I am using now is the one I saw in my father's agricultural book, and who said I don't have millet seedlings?" When Bai Yishi said the last sentence, his tone was a bit mysterious and cunning.

"What!? It turned out to be the planting method I saw in the agricultural book? Then you really dare to plant it, and you are not afraid of what will happen if the planting fails. Isn't this white planting? Also, you said you have seedlings, how can you Here are the seedlings?" Bai Xiang was a little surprised when he heard that the planting method used by Bai Yan's poem was read from the agricultural book, and then he heard that Bai Yan's poem said that she had millet seedlings, so he asked again.

"What's the matter, Uncle Bai Xiang, you have to know that if you dare to innovate and try, we will know whether this thing is done right or not, and if this method is even mentioned in the agricultural book, then there must be someone The planting has been successful, but it may be the first time I have planted it, so it will be very good, so, Uncle Bai Xiang, you don’t have to worry so much.” Bai Yishi introduced new concepts to Bai Xiang, and said new thoughts.

"Sister Shi, I don't quite understand what you said, but since you want to do this, I can't say anything. After all, this is your business, but I'm just worried that if you don't succeed, but think about it, Anyway, sister Shi, you have a rich uncle, even if you fail, you don’t have to be afraid of running out of food.” Because Bai Xiang is a person with a bit old-fashioned thinking, he doesn’t agree with Bai Yanshi’s approach, but now Bai Yanshi It's his employer, and this employer is still a person who doesn't listen to him. In this case, it's hard for him to say anything.

It’s just that I feel a little sorry for Bai Yanshi, and I feel that Bai Yanshi must be allowed to try planting. As long as she fails and suffers, she will know that the method she did is not good. What should be done according to the method of the ancestor’s religion? It is a good way.

When Bai Xiang was thinking this way in her heart, fortunately, Bai Yan's poems did not know how to read minds. Otherwise, if she read Bai Xiang's thinking in her heart, she would definitely burst out laughing, and would also feel that ancient people are ancient people. I don't know how to adapt, and I don't understand that innovation is the way to make the dynasty progress. No wonder everything is so backward, especially in terms of food.

You know, when Bai Yanshi saw some ancient wars, most of them were caused by food.

Just because of fear, because the thinking is not bold enough, there are many edible things that no one dares to eat, so that these edible things are treated as weeds and poisonous by ignorant people.

Therefore, there is not enough food to eat, and many people are hungry because they have nothing to eat. This is how the food war broke out.

　I was finally able to write it before the network was disconnected, so everyone has been waiting for a long time
