Chapter 920
"If you say that if you lose food, you will lose food? If there is no basis for your words, who would dare to believe it!" Leopard Daddy didn't expect Xiao'er to be so stupid, and she dared to promise such a promise! Hmph! So many villagers lost a year's worth of grain per household, and she was not afraid of going bankrupt, so he would fulfill her!
Xiao'er's sharp gaze fell on him again, and she opened up with great momentum, and said loudly: "If I say that I will pay for it, what I say is never a lie! Those who are willing to believe in me will plant, and those who don't want to believe will not plant, I will not force everyone." ”
Originally, planting anything is risky, planting unicorn fruit is also everyone's voluntary choice, she gives them a chance, if they only want to get, not willing to take a little risk, then don't cooperate!
The people in this village don't plant, they can find other people, but after a few contacts, Xiao'er believes that the villagers of this village will not let her down.
The fact is that the villagers of this village are not so cheeky, Huzi's father listened to Xiao'er's words and hurriedly said: "We believe in the young lady, besides, this unicorn fruit is what we promised to plant, even if we can't grow it, it doesn't matter to the young lady, how can we ask the young lady to compensate us for our food!"
"Yes, such an ungrateful thing is not something we can do!" The village chief was worried that Daddy Leopard's words would anger Xiao'er, and he was busy showing his loyalty.
The other villagers are indeed not people who do not distinguish between right and wrong, they are all honest, duty-based, and kind, so they all nodded: "Yes, this fruit is what we want to plant, we can't grow it, and we can only complain that we don't have the life to get rich, how can we ask the young lady to compensate us for food, it makes no sense to say this kind of thing!"
"Yes, besides, every family doesn't take out all the land to grow unicorn fruits, and has already left a field for growing grain, so how can we starve to death! ”
"Yes, if you don't starve, you can definitely wait until you get rich!"
......
Xiao'er listened to their words and smiled, she really didn't see the wrong person, such a person, anyone is willing to cooperate, and everyone will want to pull a hand!
"Thank you for your trust in me, and I will never fail to live up to your trust. Alright, now let me see what happened to those withered seedlings!" Xiao'er assured.
At this time, everyone's sense of competition came again, and several women were eager to pull Xiao'er to their own fields immediately: "Young lady, let's take a look at my family first!"
"I'm going, why do you look at your house first, your family's land is the farthest away! Young lady, look at my family first, my family's land is nearby, and there are not many dead fruit seedlings, it looks like it just started, and you can save it if you want to save it." ”
"Your seedlings don't die much, what are you anxious about, my family's are dying, of course, look at my family's first, young lady, please here, my family's fruit seedlings are waiting for you to rescue." ”
"Go aside! You two fruit fields are separated from Kyushu, you want to tire the young lady, my family's land is on this side, young lady, you look at my family first! Don't go too far. The woman was also strong, and directly stepped forward and took Xiao'er's hand and dragged her to the ground.
was so frightened that Yang Liu almost kicked her away, but fortunately, Xiao'er stopped her with a look.
"Okay, I'll take a look around, I'll go and see everyone's fruit land, no need to fight. Xiao'er reassured.
When the woman heard this, she let go of Xiao'er's hand.
"Auntie, take me around. Xiao'er said to Hu Ziniang.
"Good. Hu Ziniang hurriedly responded, so she led Xiao'er to look around, and the others followed closely behind them, everyone wanted to know that these fruit seedlings were obviously growing well, why suddenly there were a few of them, and a few of them began to wither.
Just like Huzi's father and mother said, Xiao'er saw that many fruit trees were a little wilted, as if they had suddenly lost their water and were very dry.
There are also some seedlings that do not wither, and those that do not grow as energetic as expected.
"Yangmei, you dig a fruit seedling and come out, and I'll look at its roots. Xiao'er couldn't see any reason for a while, so she said.
"I'll come," said someone, who hurriedly stepped forward with a hoe and dug up a seedling that had completely withered.
Xiao'er squatted down, picked up the fruit seedling and glanced at its heel: it didn't rot, and the fruit tree didn't have any insects.
She glanced at the dirt again, and it didn't look anything out of the ordinary on the surface.
Xiao'er put down the fruit seedlings, stood up, and patted the dirt off her hands: "Continue to walk around." ”
The leopard father was worried that Xiao'er would see any clues, so he kept following behind everyone, and now seeing that Xiao'er didn't see anything, he couldn't help but disdain in his heart: she can pretend!
However, he was still relieved in his heart, and still followed behind everyone.
Seeing this, someone asked, "Leopard Dad, you don't grow unicorn fruit at home, what are you doing with us?"
The leopard father gave him a roll of his eyes: "I can follow if I want, can you control it?"
The man was choked and didn't say a word, he really couldn't care, he wanted to follow.
Xiao'er walked around and saw that there was no problem with the soil quality and the saplings, so the problem should be with the water source.
Xiao'er had a guess in her heart, and now she was looking for evidence.
"Where is the water source, take me to see it. ”
"This way. Hu Ziniang hurriedly said.
The group came to the edge of a small river.
The river is very small and shallow, only knee-deep, and the water is crystal clear, and you can see small green grass at the bottom of the water.
The river was also covered with grass on both sides, and there was a path on the bank that had been trodden out, and the dirt of this path had been trampled smooth and solid.
Most of the villagers take water in a few fixed places, so in a few places, a short section of the road is paved with bricks to prevent the soil from getting wet and the road will be muddy and easy to slip.
Xiao'er walked along the river, keeping an eye on the grass and the road to see if there was anything that shouldn't be there.
Halfway through the walk, Xiao'er found a little yellowish crystal on a bush of grass, some of which had melted in water, and only two larger ones were still attached to the leaves of the grass.
If you don't look closely, you really won't notice.
Xiao'er stopped, squatted down, and reached out to pick up the two pale yellow crystals on the leaves.
"What is this?" Xiao'er asked as she put two pale yellow crystals on the palm of her other hand, spread out her palm, and stretched out her hand in front of the village chief and the others.
"It's salt!"
"Salt!"
"Salt!"
……
The villagers saw it at a glance.
Salt is a must-have in every house, so everyone can recognize it.
In this era, the poor people in the family used coarse salt, which was relatively large, and the color was not white, with a little yellow.
This salt is much cheaper than purified white refined salt.
