Chapter Seventy-Four: A New Look for the West Bank
Qiao Lan was talking to Yu Dana, and a group of people swaggered across the wooden bridge and into the west bank. The one in front is obviously an official, plus the officials in the back, except for the county commander, there can be no one else.
After getting confirmation from Yu Dana, Qiao Lan greeted him with a polite smile: This thigh has to be hugged.
"Xiaosheng is planning to take the time to meet you in two days, thank you for your convenience on the west bank, I don't want you to come here, it's Xiaosheng's, I can't go to see you in time. Qiao Lan bowed and bowed.
"Little Brother Qiao doesn't need to be polite. I'm really interested in you, the West Bank, so I just have nothing to do today, so I'll come over and have a look. I have always heard about the deeds of the West Bank, and when I see it today, it really lives up to its name. Little Brother Qiao, you are so young, you have such courage, one after another to use clever tricks, in a short period of time, a wasteland has become what it is today, the future is terrible, the future is terrible. Zhao Qishan said politely, looking at his face, he was an easy-going person, but which of the officialdom was a simple character.
Qiao Lan hurriedly humbly and politely.
The head of the government officer, Liu Tufa, was also in the entourage.
Taking the opportunity to measure the west bank, Yu Dana has become acquainted with him, and now he has a friendship with the top, and he also talked with Liu Tufa in the past.
If you want to say that the people who are most impressed by the changes in the West Bank are none other than Liu Tufa and the people, this land has been measured step by step, and in just two months, it has become even unknown to them.
Zhu Qishan really came to inspect the West Bank, and Qiao Lan took him to the top of the mountain, so that he could see the current appearance of the Great West Bank more intuitively.
Zhu Qishan was obviously very interested in Qiao Lan's new ideas, but he didn't get to the bottom of it. Qiao Lan couldn't help but have a better impression of Zhu Qishan, and she also picked up some things she could say to tell Zhu Qishan.
As the highlight of the West Bank, the canal will not be missed by the prefectural magistrate. The group began their tour from the southern section of the canal.
Despite the fact that the West Bank is now peaceful, the opposite side of the canal is not exactly the same, and the occasional fresh boar's hoof prints can be seen, which directly proves the great role of the canal.
Zhao Qishan openly and secretly expressed the importance of the West Bank and encouraged Qiao Lan to work hard.
Because there were other official duties, Zhao Qishan did not stay for a long time, and after looking around, he left with someone, but before leaving, he said an inexplicable word: "My wife is also looking forward to seeing you, and one day when you have time, you will go to the house to sit." ”
The county magistrate was too polite, Qiao Lan was flattered, and she only regarded the county magistrate as a polite and polite to her, and didn't take it to heart.
When the squire and landlord who received the wind rushed over, the county magistrate had already gone to the unknown Gada.
In the back garden of Qiao's house, the sweet potato seedlings that have been planted for a month have grown in clusters, but the vines have not grown, and the human eye cannot see the place, and its developed root system is extending.
Qiao Lan stood in front of the chili field many times, seemingly thinking about chili peppers, but in fact, what she was thinking about was the sweet potato next to her.
Sweet potatoes are divided into spring potatoes and summer potatoes, but when she planted them, it was autumn. When she planted it, she also knew that the time was not right, but the two sweet potatoes had already sprouted, and she would not be able to wait for the spring of next year.
Fortunately, there are a few pages in the "Farming Notes" that write about vegetable greenhouses, and with vegetable greenhouses, the season or something is not so important. It's just possible that because of the lack of sunlight, sweet potatoes are not so sweet.
In the past few days, she has felt the coolness of autumn, and the greenhouse should be built, but she has not arranged it for a long time. She wondered if the sweet potato would have survived until spring if there were no greenhouses.
The yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu is too sensational, and the husband is not guilty, and she is not yet able to withstand the storm it has caused. If she is left to her own devices, and the sweet potato can struggle to survive until the beginning of spring, she really doesn't care, but if she can't withstand the cold......
About the greenhouse, Yu Dana heard Qiao Lan mention it, the heat subsided, and the autumn was strong, he took the initiative to ask if he should build a shed, Qiao Lan shook his head.
The pepper seedlings in the back garden have been watered twice by Qiao Lan three times, and they are more than one foot old and can be transplanted.
On a sunny day and crisp autumn, Qiao Lan and Yu Dana set off for the west bank with a cart full of chili seedlings, and arranged for long-term workers to plant the chili seedlings.
This cart of pepper seedlings was planted on two acres of land.
This does not include Qiao Lan's space, she found that the chili seedlings in the space grew too fast, and the first batch of chili peppers might be harvested in less than a month, so she was afraid of causing trouble, so she simply planted them directly in the space. She planted the peppers in the space herself, pulling them one by one, planting them one by one, and it took three nights for her to be so uplifted that she couldn't lift her spirits for three days.
In addition to the chili seedlings, she also quietly sprinkled some spiritual spring water with the ginger she harvested and let people plant it, which also planted an acre of land.
While the long-term workers were planting peppers and ginger, Qiao Lan was wandering around the forest under her name, which had been cleaned by the beggar team, and was slightly cleaner than the Daqingshan forest area.
Qiao Lan is not idle, she is looking for treasure.
On this trip, she found a lot of medicinal herbs, most of which she asked the beggar team to dig up. The medicinal herbs dug up let the long-term workers find a piece of land to plant.
In this era, the vast majority of the medicinal materials used in pharmacies were dug by people in the mountains, and basically no one specialized in planting medicinal materials.
Qiao Lan planted peppers and medicinal herbs, and even Changgong muttered, "Why does the owner always grow some strange things." In fact, this is Qiao Lan's trick, she wants to give people an illusion that she just grows everything, dares to try anything, and says whether it succeeds or not.
These medicinal materials, Qiao Lan didn't plan to do more, just let it be, it was their creation to be able to live, and if she couldn't live, it could be regarded as her defeat.
If you act too smoothly, you will be easily looked down against.
Today, Zhang Laohan in Qiao's house also had a busy day. The pepper seedlings were pulled out, and a piece of land was vacated, Qiao Lan instructed him to plant some vegetables, and it was good to plant anything, but it couldn't be left empty. The back garden is full, and the sweet potato field is not so eye-catching. Zhang Laohan prepared the land and opened ridges, planting a lot of radishes and vegetables.
Everyone knows that there is a big move in the West Bank, and the weather is getting cooler and they are planting things with great fanfare, ginger is one acre, and medicinal herbs are planted, and another crop is planted that is not familiar to everyone. No one understands that autumn and winter were originally days when farming was too idle to be idle anymore, why did the West Bank under the Qiao family become vigorous instead. There are all kinds of ideas, but there is no joke about the Qiao family, just because every step of the changes in the West Bank seems to be arranged, connected from end to end, and interlocking.
The matter of the county magistrate personally coming to inspect the West Bank has long been spread, and the West Bank has expanded its halo again.
Landlord Zhao heard that the Qiao family didn't know what fresh crops they had planted on the west bank, he was in a hurry, he had already decided to follow the steps of the Qiao family, but the people planted fresh crops, what are fresh crops, isn't it something that was not there before, so where can he get it.
After many inquiries, he learned that the one planted by Qiao's family was called pepper. He hurried again to find the seeds of the pepper.
Landlord Zhao hadn't found out where the seeds of pepper were, but he first knew that the Qiao family had actually sown pepper seeds in the back garden early in the morning, and only transplanted them on the west bank after the seedlings were raised.
He dispelled the idea of looking for pepper seeds, everyone else had grown tall, and even if he immediately found the seeds and planted them, he couldn't do it......
"What strange things did that kid grow in the house!! Landlord Zhao roared angrily, in fact, he just said this casually, but he didn't know that he was talking about it, and the back garden of Qiao's house was planted with sweet potatoes that he didn't know.
Landlord Zhao found a few people, and sneaked into the west bank in the middle of the night, wanting to pull some peppers back.
The ten-person beggar patrol team arranged by Qiao Lan and the little wolf left by Xie Jinbao were not vegetarians, and the group of people were tied up and beaten without even touching the chili seedlings......
Qiao Lan knew about this early the next morning, and the old beggar sent a little beggar to inform him.
When Qiao Lan arrived on the west bank, the five or six people were hanging by the bridge, one by one entangled in vines like zongzi. Although they had been wailing for a night and were exhausted, when they saw Qiao Lan, they still burst into a puff and wailed again, begging Qiao Lan to let them go, and swore all kinds of poisonous oaths that they would never dare again, however, they just didn't confess the mastermind behind the scenes.
The old beggar staggered forward, and said with certainty that it must have been done by the landlord Zhao.
Landlord Zhao followed suit and imitated the actions made by the West Bank, Qiao Lan knew it, so she had no doubts about the old beggar's statement that he had no evidence but was extremely sure. She asked the old beggar to send people to the door of Landlord Zhao's house, no need to loosen the tie, no need to say more, just let go and leave.
Qiao Lan crossed the bridge, and was startled when she saw a gray wolf lying in front of the simple gate of Xi'an, and then realized that this was Xie Jinbao's little wolf, but where is this little wolf, it is clearly a dog that has always been huge, and I don't know if there is a wolf's bloodline in it.
Qiao Lan stepped forward and squatted in front of the little wolf, the little wolf glanced at her, ignored it, maybe it was Qiao Lan blocking it, walked to the side and continued to look at the opposite side of the bridge, its owner Xie Jinbao left from here......
Feng Qixiang knew that Qiao Lan had gone to Qingshan Village, and he also rode the frightening wind all the way to Qingshan Village, this time he ran fast, and the warbler Yanyan of Qingshan Village failed to catch his traces in time.
Feng Qixiang sat on the tall frightening wind, and saw Qiao Lan teasing a big dog with a bun from a distance, but the big dog didn't even give a look. He turned over and dismounted, walked over slowly, and then saw Qiao Lan grab the hind legs of the big dog and look at it, and said, "It turns out that you are a male, hey, little wolf, do you have a companion, when will you let the one in your family give birth to a litter of cubs, don't worry about whether you can feed it, I will help you raise it, rest assured, the meat tube is enough." Could it be that you don't have a companion yet? Why don't I give you a match?"
Feng Qixiang couldn't listen to it anymore, and pretended to cough, but Qiao Lan didn't even give him a look, and continued to talk to the little wolf, "Do you like a female dog or a female wolf?"
Xu felt that the two people in front of him were too eye-catching and annoying, so the little wolf stood up and ran towards Daqingshan at high speed, and ran away at once.
