Xie Ling didn't understand what Yang Duanwu wanted to do, but Yang Duanwu understood very well that there might be more and more fields at home in the future, and some things needed to be sorted out, and if he passed on some experience or something in the future, he would directly understand a lot.

Among these weeds, the most annoying is the weeds.

This weed can be said to be a "twin" with rice, and it looks very similar. Even the few laborers who work in the fields every day cannot quickly distinguish which ones are rice and which ones are weeds.

After careful observation, Yang Duanwu summed up a few points of experience.

This tarp is hairless and smoother in the place where the leaves are divided, but the rice is different in that at the leaf, the rice is hairy.

In addition, the roots of barnyard have more forks, and rice has fewer forks due to human influence.

Under the guidance of Yang Duanwu, several laborers began to pull out the weeds in the field with their bare hands, but the speed was very slow and tiring.

But in order to have a good harvest, Yang Duanwu still strictly requires the laborers to remove all the weeds in the rice fields.

It is said that after Yang Erya entered the door of the Li family, because the Li family has now been separated, after Yang Erya went to meet Mrs. Li and Li Yuanbao's father, she received a red envelope from her daughter-in-law, so she didn't have to go to the meeting every day, and most of the time she stayed at home, adapted to the environment, disciplined Li Ze, and led the maids to deal with the affairs of the inner house. After such a month, I have adapted to it.

In bed at night, after the lights were turned off, Li Yan said: "If the lady feels that staying at home is too boring, she can come to the store to take care of the accounts." Now that my share of the account is in charge of others, I am not at ease, if the lady can go, it will be natural. ”

Yang Erya said: "The concubines are all arranged by their husbands. ”

Li Yan then looked at Erya and said, "I've seen you sullen recently, but you miss Ah Yuan?" ”

Yang Erya nodded: "Don't blame the husband, I think that Li Ze has someone to take care of, but Ah Yuan is not around, and I am also very worried." After all, it was me and Ah Yuan who were with me before, and now-I don't know if Ah Yuan will be sad because he can't see me, I don't know how much he has eaten, whether he is uncomfortable-"

Li Yan said: "You are a mother and son, and it is natural for you to be so concerned. It's just that I was afraid that you would not be able to adapt to bringing another child when you first arrived, and besides, I was also afraid that the slaves and maids in the house would not obey the discipline, so I let Ah Yuan stay at her parents' house first. It's been a month now, and we should also go and pick up Ah Yuan back, and by the way, we should also go to see my mother-in-law's family. ”

Yang Erya was very happy when she heard this: "Husband really thinks so? ”

Li Yan nodded: "I knew early on that you had a son, and your son was my son, so I naturally missed it." ”

Yang Erya's heart was put down, and she wrote to Xie Ling the next day, saying that she would visit her in two days and bring Ah Yuan back by the way.

Yang Duanwu was busy with Xie Ling in the field, and the messenger from the village came over, "Sister-in-law Xie, you have a letter." ”

Xie Ling took it: "Thank you." When I opened it, it was written by Yang Erya.

"Seeing that my mother is happy, what did my sister say in the letter?"

Xie Ling raised his eyebrows: "Your sister said, she will come to see us tomorrow." But Ah Yuan is going to take it back. ”

"That's the best, anyway, if my sister doesn't come, my mother will have to go to see my sister." Yang Duanwu pulled out a few weeds and put them in the basket.

"Dragon Boat Festival, my mother went home first, my mother should hurry up and make a cage of muffins, your sister loves to eat muffins in the village." Xie Ling said and left.

Yang Duanwu shook her head, this mother of hers is sometimes happy, like a child.

As soon as Xie Ling left, suddenly a dark shadow approached, and a cold wind hit, "Yang Erya's son Ah Yuan, is it my flesh and blood?" ”

Yang Duanwu was startled and looked up, it turned out to be Yang Erya's ex-husband, Wu Zhiping!

After not seeing each other for two years, Wu Zhiping looked even more embarrassed, dressed in tattered clothes, dirty, and unkempt, but his eyes looked even more vicious. At this time, he waved his fists, bared his teeth, and was ready to pounce at any time, Yang Duanwu took a few steps back.

"You don't want to come here." At this time, there was no one in the field. In addition, he found a long rope, tied two branches, and gave it to the other two laborers.

The two laborers walked to the north and south ends of the rice field, and according to Yang Duanwu's request, they pulled the rope tied to the branches straight, and then inserted the branches into the rice field.

"Next, let's plant rice along this rope," Yang Duanwu used the same method, dividing the rice field into several small rectangular areas.

A few laborers have planted seedlings for a lifetime, and this is the first time I have encountered such a fresh method.

However, according to Yang Duanwu's method, the seedlings are like soldiers lined up, straight and straight.

In addition, the distance between each other is just right.

Yang Duanwu made thorough use of the rice fields.

With the sweat and efforts of several people, it only took two days to plant the five acres of land.

The sun was sinking in the west, a cool breeze was blowing, and Yang Duanwu and Xie Ling walked home hand in hand.

After a few days of fatigue, Yang Duanwu finally could take a rest, and Xie Ling also hurried to boil water for Yang Duanwu to wash.

Yang Duanwu sat on the bamboo bench and pinched his calf hard.

"You answer me!" Wu Zhiping roared.

"How would I know? My sister said that Ah Yuan is not yours. Yang Duanwu said.

"I came to your door today and saw Ah Yuan walk out, Ah Yuan is three years old, if he is not my son, why does he look so similar to me?"

It turned out that Wu Zhiping had returned to the village, and last year someone said that he went to work in other places, why did he come back this year?

Could it be that I heard that Yang Erya got married and married so well, so she deliberately came to extort a sum of money?

According to Wu Zhiping's character, it is not surprising that he would do this.

"Do you see clearly? Everyone says that Ah Yuan looks like my sister, where is it like you? Yang Duanwu actually knew that Ah Yuan couldn't see it when he was born, but now he is three years old, and he does look like Wu Zhiping, but she can't say yes. Now that Erya is happy, what is Wu Zhiping running over again?

"You lie to me, Ah Yuan must be my son. Whose would it be? Wu Zhiping was furious. Didn't you say that my sister was very silvery? Maybe it was born to my sister and someone else. Yang Duanwu held the sickle in his hand tightly, if he dared to step forward again, she would not be polite.

Wu Zhiping was a coward, and when he saw that Yang Duanwu's hand holding the sickle was tight, he didn't dare to step forward again, and sneered: "You can't fool me, whether it's my son or not, I'll know tomorrow." I have just heard that your sister and that man will come to her mother's house tomorrow, and if you don't want me to cause trouble, you can give me fifty taels of silver. This rice planting is definitely a physical work, Yang Duanwu is a deep understanding of what is called "sweat drops of grass under the soil", for the occasional waste of food before rebirth, Yang Duanwu is also deeply guilty.

After dinner, Yang went to bed early in the afternoon, but when he slept late at night, his calves and stomach twitched from time to time.

The next day, Xie Ling got up early, went to the market to choose a pig's trotter and came back, added some red dates and prince ginseng, and stewed it for Yang Duanwu to replenish his body.

After Xie Ling's care, Yang Duanwu recovered quickly.

After a few rains, the rice in the field grows upwards and heads quickly.

But the careful Yang Duanwu soon found the weeds in the rice field.

Although most of these weeds do not cause any harm, as long as they are other than rice, they will affect the growth and panicle of rice.

In front of Yang Duanwu, there is another time-consuming and laborious thing - weeding.

There are many kinds of weeds, some of them are very similar to rice, Yang Duanwu bent over, took out the weeds in the field one by one, and marked these weeds, and sandwiched the appearance of each weed.

The next day, Yang Duanwu rushed to the field early in the morning, and sure enough, the strong wind blew several mulberry trees crooked. However, the seedlings in the rice fields were not greatly affected.

Soon, several laborers also arrived in the field, and according to Yang Duanwu's arrangement, several people immediately began to tidy up.

The seasons change, the weather changes unpredictably, and there may be strong winds again in two days.

How to strengthen the mulberry tree has become the most urgent problem of Yang Duanwu.

It is obviously unreasonable to cut off the excess branches; It is not a good idea to plant mulberry trees deep in the soil, and you may even kill them. After thinking about it, Yang Duanwu used a local method, but it was a good method.

Yang Duanwu asked three laborers to go to the mountain to cut a lot of bamboo, and then cut the bamboo into a length of about three feet, and then, and then supported the mulberry tree from three directions with these bamboo segments of uniform length, this triangle was originally the most stable, so that with the support of the three sections of bamboo, the mulberry tree will be more upright.

After the devastation of the strong wind, the mulberry tree needs more care, Yang Duanwu organized several laborers, in addition to stabilizing the mulberry tree, but also further built branches on the mulberry tree, and increased the supply of fertilizer.

Yang Duanwu asked the laborers to cut a lot of firewood and grass and spread a layer of mulberry trees. It is hoped that in this way, the survival of the mulberry tree can be improved.

Gradually, the eastern sky is slowly obscured by clouds, and soon, it will rain.

It was really a timely rain, Yang Duanwu's face showed a relaxed smile, this rain will make the mulberry roots stretch out quickly, tightly grasping the surrounding soil.

Before the heavy rain, Yang returned home. Xie Ling hurriedly took Yang Duanwu in.

"Why did you come back, my mother is worried about you." Xie Ling took Yang Duanwu's hand and said, "Look at the weather outside, it will rain heavily soon." ”

After Yang Duanwu saw Xie Ling, he walked straight to the silkworm house, this sudden change in weather is not a good thing for the silkworm baby in the silkworm room.

Before the heavy rain came, the air in the silkworm house was filled with heavy moisture, perhaps because the humidity was too heavy, so that the silkworms seemed to move slowly, and it took a long time to move to the body.

The humid air also coats the mulberry leaves with a layer of dew, which can make the silkworm babies sick.

Yang Duanwu took a look, and the lime in the corner of the silkworm house had already been soaked in humid air.

Soon, Yang Duanwu asked the laborers to send a lot of lime, in addition to charcoal, which can absorb excess water, and charcoal can also remove some foreign matter in the air.

With the gradual hatching of silkworms, it is important to build another silkworm house for silkworms.

With the previous experience, the newly built silkworm house is more moisture-proof and more ventilated, and Yang Duanwu also specially set up a mouse trap, as long as there are rats infested, one will be caught.

More and more silkworms, more and more cocoons. Yang Duanwu is alone, and he is completely busy.

Although these laborers were dull, Yang Duanwu still successfully taught them.

Collecting cocoons may seem simple, but there is a lot of attention to detail in the process.

It takes about a month for the silkworm to form a cocoon, and after that, it only takes about three to five days to break out of the cocoon. If the cocoon cannot be processed in time, then once the silkworm chrysalis bites through the cocoon, the cocoon after the cocoon is broken, there is no value of silk reeling.

After Yang Duanwu got so much land, he had already planned everything for next year.

These cocoons are the key to it.

Yang Duanwu personally went to the silkworm house and selected a batch of silkworm cocoons with a hard appearance. This appearance is hard, indicating that the nutrition of the cocoon is good, which means that the silkworm chrysalis inside is relatively healthy, then, after these silkworm pupae break out of the cocoon, the silkworms that are mated with each other are important breeding objects in the coming year.

In addition, most of the cocoons need to be treated.

Yang Duanwu asked laborers to carefully take out the silkworm pupae that were spun into cocoons, and these fresh cocoons not only have surviving silkworm pupa, but also have a lot of water that is not conducive to the long-term preservation of silkworm cocoons.

Yang Duanwu needs to let the chrysalis inside the silkworm cocoon die, prevent the silkworm chrysalis from breaking the cocoon, and in addition, remove the water inside as much as possible.

There are many ways to do this, but the best one is cocooning.

It is said that this cocoon baking is a kind of technical work, and many people can't grasp the scale or method, and even directly burn the cocoon.

This can also serve its purpose, but it is time-consuming, and the results are mediocre. Moreover, the effect is mediocre.

Yang Duanwu is not casual, on the road of raising silkworms, Yang Duanwu has to take the road that others have not walked.

Yang Duanwu made a special cylinder with bamboo, and built nearly 100 grids up and down with thin bamboo pieces, and in the middle of the cylinder, there was a round bamboo tube.

Yang Duanwu carefully put the collected silkworm cocoons one by one into the lattice on the cylinder, and then put the cylinder into a hollow iron tool.

This ironware is also carefully designed and made by Yang Duanwu, the four walls of this ironware are relatively thin, and the lower wall is directly used for heating, so it is made relatively thick.

Another important purpose of this baking cocoon is that the cocoon can be heated evenly inside and out, so that the cocoon can be smoothly relieved and lay a good foundation for the next step of silk reeling.

In order to ensure that the cocoons in the bamboo tube can be heated evenly, Yang Duanwu also added a handle on the bamboo tube, in the process of heating, the labor through the handle to rotate the bamboo tube, later, Yang Duanwu improved this device, labor can easily rotate the bamboo tube.
